Can you really make money online

Making money online with a blog is one of the simple and easy methods. Blog is the first option to make money online for newbies who are just starting out. One thing we have to remember is that making money online with blog involves patience and takes time. Blog is not quick money when you are just starting out. Once you have an established blog there are many ways to make money online and is limited only by your creativity and thinking.
Making money online involves constant learning on what’s happening around you on the internet, it involves you to be in constant touch with popular forums like DigitalPoint, WickedFire, BlackHatWorld and there are many. One issue with learning online is that, I have seen many users getting cot in a constant learning cycle, what I mean is once you join these user forums and start reading around, before you know you would have spent the complete day just going through all the information on these forums, this is just one such example. Most of these users never implement what they have learnt from different forums or eBook.
It’s very important to set realistic goals and track your progress every day. Once we come across a new idea or learn something the first thing is to do some logical thinking on the idea, implement it. Once the idea is implemented, next we have to study, improvise what we have until our initial goal is met. Once you meet your initial goal next is to raise the bars.
Common mistake of newbie trying to make money online is that they will get in to too many things at once without completing any of them. I have met many newbie’s trying to make money online, first they start blog thinking that they would earn big initially, they stay there for a few weeks or month then they will give it up and move on to affiliate marketing etc… And then they finally give up and start shouting on how it’s not possible to make money online and how everything is scam.
Successful bloggers, online marketers and other online entrepreneurs would have invested lot of hard work, time and would have sacrificed their social life to get to the point where they are today.
Making money online is just like any of your offline business. Without investing time, handwork and maintaining focus it’s impossible to make money online.
