Many people that want to start an Internet business know nothing about computers. They’ve heard about the massive amounts of cash they can earn on the Internet, but were stopped in their tracks because they were scared or uninformed about the technology. If this sounds like they then don’t fear because anybody can make money online from the savviest computer user to users that have never used computers before. So what should they do if they don’t know how to use a computer and want to make money on the Internet? It’s simple. They need to learn how to use a computer. They can learn from friends, family, and classes at their local library.
They should learn how to use a word processing program, such as Microsoft Word, and the ins and outs of the Internet and Email. They should check their local library or college for beginner classes. The beauty is that they don’t have to go to a four year college to make money on the Internet. Just learn the techniques from home study courses, seminars, and books. This opens the world of Internet business to anybody that has the desire.
Remember, it won’t happen over night as far as the learning curve is concerned. They will have to make an effort, but the effort is well worth it because they could earn thousands and even millions online in the future. They don’t have know how to do every Internet business skill from the get go. The key is to be able to take instruction well. Sometimes this means letting go of traditional business modes and skills that don’t work well on the Internet. It also means that they have to have faith that the skills they are learning on the Internet will work even if they sometimes seem too good to be true. So whether they are a farmer, a marketing professional, or a high school student, they all have the same chance of success on the Internet. They all have to learn the same tips and tricks about the Internet. This levels the playing field as long as they know the rules that will maximize the amount of profit they make online. Anything is possible on the Internet if they put their mind to it. Just like you can start off with a blog. You can blog about your hobby, your career or profession. Just share your knowledge, expertise, like me sharing my money making tips online.
For example check this blog, a graphic designer's blog, very nice, love it so much

SCAM: Money for nothing
By SUJESH PAVITHRAN
The lure of lucre can take the unsuspecting dude down dangerous paths.
Humans are a greedy lot. This seems as good a time as any to bring this up, given the number of SMS scams that people are falling prey to these days. Are we so desperate and gullible that we believe money comes free at the drop of a hat?
The Internet and cellular phone are quite possibly two of the greatest inventions of the past half-century, but every boon comes with its banes. Armed with a mobile phone and an Internet line, tricksters can reach across the globe, which they have, elevating the arts of persuasion and deception to new heights in the process.
My first experience of an attempted Internet scam was email from someone who claimed to be working clandestinely on behalf of a deposed or deceased dictator or emperor (I forget which) somewhere in Africa or the Middle East. If I helped him and his associates transfer aforementioned dictator’s illegal millions out of their country, I would make a few millions bucks in commission. I was disbelieving from the start, but I’ve heard of trusting fools fall for this.
Over the past decade, I have received a few dozen similar missives; I used to read them for amusement, but that’s wearing thin these days.
My take is that if you’re greedy enough to be lured by an offer to make millions off a “deposed” ruler, or whatever, via some illegal money transfer, you deserve what you get – nothing.
You are responsible for your actions – as the saying goes, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. I’ve never believed in such a thing as a free lunch, much less being singled out from millions of Internet users for some golden opportunity of a lifetime.
I’ve read of people losing a few hundred thousand bucks after being tempted by offers via SMS or calls from con artistes working for syndicates – it seems we’re reading about these unfortunate victims just about every day!
Listen – just say “No” ? that’s my instinct, on the phone or when approached by anyone. The more you listen, the more you get sucked into a vortex of uncertainty and confusion, and then, at one point, your fundamentally-greedy self takes charge. That’s the point of no return and as is sure a way as any of burning your hard-earned money.
Sometimes, even respectable companies dangle the carrot of “free” money in front of you, just to keep you interested. I used to subscribe to a well-known magazine but stopped a couple of years ago. However, because my particulars are still inescapably trapped in their database, I get regular snail mail enticing me to join their contest and stand a chance to win pot-loads of cash.
I’m not saying this is a scam – indeed, the company is too well-known and respected to perpetrate anything close to a scam, and I don’t doubt a select few have take home some winnings.
It’s just that each time I get snail mail from this company, I’m made to believe I’m just two steps away from becoming a millionaire – all I need do is wait a few days, fill out forms, wait some more, buy something, wait some more, fill more forms, buy something else ? hey, wait, there’s a pattern here!
I obliged the first time, but my patience ran out the second time around; unfortunately, two or three years down the road and I’m still being subjected to such mail. Not that I respond, even if the mail continues to arrive with clockwork regularity. I just don’t have the time and patience to call these people to tell them to get me off their mailing list – who knows what they’ll try to sell me over the phone!

Believe in blogging, increase your earning
Blogging can be an excellent source of income, provided you know how to do it right and which streams of income to use. These days, you no longer need to be limited to just one stream - AdSense. Everyone wants to learn more about affiliate marketing. Why Not earn while you learn?. Here are four techniques on how to increase your earnings from multiple streams of blogging income:
Mix and match ad programs.There are a variety of advertising programs you can choose from, including Adsense, TLA or Text Link Ads and Adbrite. Not all ad programs will work with your blog, so find out which ones are a perfect fit. Provided you have the right audience, choose the correct link advertisers and write quality content, you can use ad programs to increase your blogging income from multiple streams.
Promote and sell your own products and services.If you have products or services to sell, why not do it from your blog? You could earn a nice, regular income by simply having a service page as a supplement to your main blog page where your readers can view your products and do business with you. This is a great way to increase your blogging income because all the earnings go to you directly. However, it’s important that your products and/or services complement your blog’s theme or your selling efforts would go down the drain.
Get sponsored.If your blog contains excellent information and quality articles on a subject that companies can benefit from, you can increase your blogging income through direct sponsorship. Say for example your blog is about digital photography. If you have all the right images, content and traffic, a digital camera manufacturer such as Nikon, Ricoh or Canon might pay you for placing their ads on your site or even joining their ad campaign.
Direct sponsorship can even occur on blog posts, where sponsor companies pay bloggers to write articles on topics related to the companies’ products and services. If you do this regularly, you can earn an excellent income.
Install paid job boards.Think Darren Rowse’s Job boards and other popular blogs with job boards such as Lifehacker and TechCrunch. But the key to earning a decent income from this method is to build your blog’s traffic first.
Remember, no monetization effort will be successful if your blog does not have enough content and does not receive a significant amount of traffic yet. So, work on your blog posts first and market your blog before thinking of bigger things.

Yes, you too can succeed in life
Well... there're really many, many ways in which you can reach your goals but I think it all boils down to these 3 things.And without these 3 crucial elements, I believe it's nigh on IMPOSSIBLE to achieve anything in life.In fact, if you take a look at all the things you've achieved so far (no matter how big or small...), I guarantee you that these 3 elements were there ALL the time.So what are these 3 things?
#1 - You have to set GOALS. Yes, many of us set goals, BUT most people don't ever do them the RIGHT way and that's why most people are just setting yourself up for failure right from the very beginning!You need to set goals because you have to know exactly where you want your life to head. And only when you have a destination in mind, only then can you draw the map to get to where YOU want to go.So set your goals immediately OR life will just take you anywhere it wants - which is nowhere!
#2 - Once you have your goals, you need to FOCUS on your goals and nothing else. What use is there of setting goals and then not focusing on them?It's like saying you want to get top marks in a school exam, but then all you do is just play football. You're never going to ace the exam that way!You need to focus.Concentrate on your goal! Make sure it drives you and motivates you, so that almost every waking hour of your day is all about moving closer to your goal, step by step.I can't emphasize this enough, but you MUST focus, focus, focus!
3# - And lastly, you need CONFIDENCE. Supreme self-confidence in yourself that you can achieve your goal.You need to believe in every fibre of your body that your goals is achieveble, that YOU deserve your goal and that it is going to manifest in your reality.If you don't believe you can do it, then you'll never do it. Just like Henry Ford said - "Whether you believe you can or you can't, either way you are right."You must have the self-confidence that you CAN achieve your goals, or else it's never going to happen.I believe that these 3 elements are CRUCIAL to your success. They all play a integral role in you achieving YOUR goals. Lose any one of these 3 elements and it's almost impossible to succeed in life.But harness the power of these 3 things, and I guarantee that you will blast your way to success in no time.I did it for myself. And it works. Isn't time you did the same for yourself as well?I highly recommend you check this resource out if you're serious about your goals and your success in life.
