Learning How to make Money Online from Home

Learning how to start earning money Online, from the comfort of your own home, can be a daunting task. There is SO much information out there and I have a very little BS tolerance. There are a lot of people marketing 'Make Money Quick' schemes on the net and are basically trying to sell you a product, whether it be a guide, an e-book, videos, whatever. The problem with, I would say 99%, of those products is that they will end costing you MUCH more than the low price you thought you were agreeing to pay.

In my own experience, I purchased a guide to help me understand and get started with affiliated marketing. I agreed to pay the $1 fee, plus shipping and handling for the CD I received... or so I thought. I received the product- which was a CD in the mail, with some very helpful resources. As it turns out, affiliated marketing was not something I was interested in getting into at the time, seeing as it cost money, and wasn't a 100% guarantee that I would make a profit. Funds were tight and I was looking for something a bit safer- I was not looking to spend much or any money myself. Well little did I know that by purchasing that CD I had inadvertently signed myself up for many other programs that ended up costing me almost $300. I was mad, I was bummed- that money was non-refundable and that was definitely not the most promising foray into making myself some cash online.

You are not going to start making $300-1000 dollars a day straight off the bat. If you could, don't you think everyone would be sitting at home in their PJ's, eating cheerios, and making a living online? Do not purchase a product that promises you this, unless you have really looked into and gotten a general knowledge of exactly what that program is marketing and whether you think you would be successful. I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer here, you definitely can make money by working online. But it is going to take time, know-how, and a lot of patience. So this is my warning to you Dear Reader, do not shell out money for things that sounds too good to be true, yet don't give up hope. You can make extra money online! But I felt as though you needed a bit of a warning first.
