I guess I wasn't clear enough in what I said. In defining "making money", do you mean making any kind of profit, earning a part-time income, or a full-time income, or just having dollars coming in from your internet efforts.

To some folks, $1,000 a month is a full-time income. To others, $1,000 is pocket change.

During one month a few years ago, I received a check for $700+ for one affiliate program that I promoted by making posts on some forums. I didn't use a website...just a computer and an internet connection. Since I already owned the computer and I already had an internet connection, you could say that check was all profit.

I've sold stuff on Ebay and made several thousand dollars in the process. Does that qualify as "making money on the internet" without selling money-making info?

Someone(?) said the top four categories for products to sell are:

1. How to save money...
2. How to make money...
3. How to lose weight...
4. How to grow your hair back...

Choose one of those and you are almost guaranteed success.

If you have an affinity group (those with something in common with each other and with YOU) and you can determine what they want and you can offer it to them bigger and better than anyone else, you will have a market for that product.

You would not have to sell it...it would sell itself.

Of course, the group has to have the means to purchase that product or there would be no sense in producing the product.

People buy what they want, not what they need.

I'll have to let you know...I just put up the site today. The reports used to sell through mail order in hard copy for $35 for 50 reports. The raw text files are available on the internet elsewhere. I took the files, updated some of them, and formatted them into a nice .PDF ebook. Was it worth the effort? Only time will tell.

Be blessed with success,
