How to make money using the Internet!
How to make money using the Internet: create value and get paid!
I ran across an article in a blog that made so much sense that I thought I should share it with you.
The blog post grabbed me right from the start!
“Make money: not by building an internet company, but by using the net as a tool to create value and get paid. Use the internet as a tool, not as an end.”
That is so right on!
The way to attract money is by providing something of value and presenting it to people!
And that applies to all of us building web sites, promoting our own or affiliate products, or employing any of the numerous methods available to us to earn a living by partnering with the world wide web!
Well… enough of me telling you about it…
You should go to the blog and read it yourself! I think you might be glad you did!
The article is by Seth Godin and is entitled:
How to make money using the Internet
The link to it is at:
http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2008/11/how-to-make-mon.html
After you read it – please be sure to leave a comment here on this blog!
I’d like to hear what you think!
That’s all for now! Best wishes for success!

This is an incredible article. Godin uses the power of connecting with people a way to create an income. The power of the Internet is the ability to connect with thousands. If you can use those connections to make money, you just created your own income producing system.
Thanks Mike, for posting this.
Stay well,

Hey Mike,
I read the article by Seth. It is “spot on” For so long I looked at my business as an “Internet business” but when you make the shift to seeing the Internet as enviroment with many mediums within it just the way we look at the physical environment with many mediums within it. The lights come on.
Thanks for the reminder!

I enjoyed Seth’s article. It is always great to see your business from another perspective. Funny how the word work is always mentioned before payday.

Hey Mike,
I have been doing this for quite a while and make some income but this article about “connecting” online opened my eyes to a couple of other possibilities.
Thanks for sharing!!

Hi Mike,
Finally someone with ‘authority’ is saying the exact same thing I’ve written about on my blog for the past 5 years – the ‘internet is a powerful tool’, it’s not a business!
Of course there will always be people who disagree, but the ‘internet’ sells nothing, people sell through the ‘medium of the internet’ to other people, same as if they sold products or services in the mall.
I’m simply glad someone other people follow agrees with me!:)

Hi Mike.
Now this was a most enjoyable article.
There are one or two points which I haven’t done yet, but that’s going to change VERY soon.
Thank you for letting us know about Seth’s Article, if you find such diamonds again in the future, please do not hesitate to pass it on again.

Great post! You are so “on”. For me it’s all about value. Find a pain point, determine how you can solve it (with product or information) and provide VALUE. For those who follow this simple formula, they are guaranteed success.

It is such a great thoughts from Seth. Actually, if we only focus on our goal when it comes to working online, all of us can be successful. We only need to be patient and hardworking in order to make everything possible. However, not all people are willing to these ways. They are more into the easy way of earning when it comes to internet.

Seth is a classic…I think most of his claims are a little “naive”…not all products are exceptional, and even “normality” has to be promoted…but it’s always really interesting to read his advices…
Comment by Florence Nadja — August 4, 2009 @ 9:36 am
Hi Mike,
You’re right! Using “internet as a tool” is the first think to understand when trying to make money online.
So many people think that there is a magic formula or a magic trick to make money, but there will never be a trick – just work, test and implement.

Wow….,
This controversial topic “How to make money using the Internet”is very informative and this is your nice artical.
Comment by authenticonlinemarketing — August 24, 2009 @ 2:20 am
One of the problems I have when I see articles on making money on the Internet is that most of them do not live up to the expectations they create. The bottom line is there is no quick way to make money, it does take work and anyone that tells you anything else is out to scam you however I did like the article and there is some good points in it.
