Facebook

There are a number of ways to earn money on Facebook , a highly popular social networking site. Facebook works by connecting friends and work colleagues together. Strangers can easily meet each other and become friends too. The emphasis is on social gathering and being helpful to each other.

Facebook runs an advertising program. Their social ads program is a bit like Google AdWords , the small column of simple ads that line the right-hand side of a Google search results page, but they differ in many ways.

Facebook social ads are not seen by nearly as many people as Google AdWords are, and they therefore do not have the same depth of reach. However, because of Facebook's highly social nature, those who do see the ads can be much more targeted, and therefore much more likely to be persuaded to purchase.

Like Google AdWords, the Facebook social ads work through the cost-per-click (CPC) model. This means that the person who runs the ad does not pay anything unless someone clicks on the ad. They will then pay an agreed amount every time someone clicks on an ad, though not every click is likely to result in a sale.

They may also pay through cost-per-impression (CPM). This is usually measured in thousands, and an agreed payment is made by the person running the ad for every thousand people who see the ad, whether they click on it, or purchase through it.

Some people sell through Facebook in quite ingenious ways. One way is to take full advantage of the estimated 60 millions people who are members of Facebook. One idea is to create a Facebook page that doesn't actually sell anything, but is all about a single topic. Nurture the page and get as many visitors coming to the page regularly, and then the fun can begin.

Instead of actually selling something yourself, approach merchants who already sell item that are the focus of your page, and off them advertising space. Don't just do it once, but find several advertisers and offer them all space on your popular Facebook page. Doing it this way you will most likely make a lot more than if you tried selling something directly yourself.

Facebook applications are big business for some. Developer applications do things. They do different things for different reasons. Advertising can be built directly into a cleverly built application, which of course is a smart way to go. If you can't build a Facebook application yourself, you could pay someone to do it for you and make money as a result of driving lots of people to your Facebook pages.

Getting lots of friends, creating lots of pages, and creating lots of groups on Facebook is one way that can lead to good profits, if you go about it the right way. This is a slow, but fairly sure way, as if you go too fast, Facebook is likely to ban your account.

Facebook has many interesting topics buried within its pages. This is possibly one excellent way to discover what makes Facebook tick. This thread on Facebook could be useful: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2347471856&topic=6656

Earn Money On Facebook

Facebook is a social networking site that is very popular. The social media site connects friends and fellow workers together, and allows people to make friends as well. There are ways to earn money on Facebook. Some methods work better than others, and some are easier to implement than others.

The most straightforward way to earn money on Facebook is through their social ads program. This can be likened a bit to Google's AdWords, the small adverts that appear on the right-hand side of Google's search results pages. The Facebook social ads don't have the same extensive reach, but they can be much more focused, if you know how to target your audience properly.

Facebook social ads work through cost-per-click (CPC), or cost-per-impression (CPM). This means that you either pay every time someone clicks one of your ads, CPC, or you pay a rate for every thousand impressions, CPM, that is, for every thousand viewers who see the advert regardless of how many actually click on it.

If you have a product that you own, one that is likely to appeal to the kind of person typically found on Facebook, you can sell it there. One way that works is to offer the members a deal they can't get elsewhere. Put up a page and tell them that if they buy it through your Facebook offer, they will get a 25% discount, or whatever you want to offer it for.

Spend some time on Facebook to get to know your audience. Join relevant groups and get noticed. Become known as the guy or gal who has a special offer that only applies for Facebook people. If you work at it in a social manner and you are not too pushy, you will probably be surprised at how easy it can be to sell a product, and therefore earn money on Facebook.

You could make and sell Facebook applications. This can be easier than it sounds. The Internet is full of information on how to build your own Facebook application, but Facebook's own developer page at http://developers.facebook.com/ could be a good place to start.

You should check out as many existing applications as you can find to see the sort of thing that is popular. Then the trick is to come up with an idea of your own, or improve on an existing idea.

Once you have your Facebook application you give it away for free. The way you can earn money on Facebook this way is not directly through the application itself, but by offering advertising space on the application once it becomes popular. The more popular it gets, the more money it can potentially earn for you.

One easy way to earn money on Facebook is through use of an application called Cash Cliques . If you install the application on your Facebook page you can earn some money by clicking on ads. You can also earn by referring people. You will get paid for the ads they click on too. You won't earn a lot, but it isn't difficult to do.

EBay

Earning money through eBay is probably one of the easiest ways to make money on the Internet. All you have to do in basic terms is find something to sell, list it on eBay, and wait for a buyer. If the item is at least of general interest to most people and in reasonable condition and not too highly priced, you will most likely sell it.

eBay is an auction site. It is by far the world's largest and most popular auction site. While selling items directly through auction is probably the most common way to earn money though eBay, it is not the only way.

eBay has an excellent affiliate program. They allow affiliates to embed feeds into their own web pages, which will display auction items. If a visitor purchases through the feed, the affiliate will get a percentage of the sale.

This feature can be further enhanced as the feed items can be grouped by searching using a specific keyword phrase to pull in only those items relating to the keyword. This means that affiliates can display highly niche-specific items on their pages.

This in turn means that the visitors to the site can be highly targeted and therefore more likely to be very responsive. It is usually best to target specific items. Trying to be everything to everyone doesn't really work. Targeting items in a tight niche and driving targeted traffic to the site will always work much better and will always be much more profitable for the affiliate.

The eBay affiliate program also lets you sign up newcomers to the auction site. Most people assume that the majority of Internet users have an account with eBay to either sell or buy items there, but this isn't so.

There are thousands of new people coming on to the Internet every day who have never heard of eBay. If some of them find your website and see the items for sale in your embedded feed and decide to buy something, but they don't already have an account, they will most likely join eBay though your link and you will earn a nice and very easy commission.

If you don't have any items lying around at home that you feel could be sold through eBay, or if you have already exhausted your ready supply of items to sell, there is a simple option: drop shipping.

Drop shipping is where a company will send out a product to any address of your choice on your behalf. You pay the company directly and recoup your expense, plus a profit, from your customer.

To put it more simply, you can sign up with a drop shipping company, and then auction their products on eBay. When someone buys through you, all you have to do is pay the drop shipping company and inform them of where to send the product.

If you offer a product for $30 and the drop shipping company will sell it to you for $20, you will make a profit of $10 on every sale. The big advantage of this system for you is that you don't have to carry any stock. You don't have to fulfil orders either, and you still have the entire range of the company's products to offer on eBay.

Data Entry

Data entry work involves, as its name implies, entering data into forms, word processors, spreadsheets, or specialized software. This is work that can be done at home. It is usually a laborious type of work that doesn't pay very high, but it is usually also easy to do, which makes it attractive to many people.

Data entry work is well suited to those who need some extra money every month. Students often turn to this kind of work, as well as housewives and busy mothers with small children. It is work that can be picked up and dropped again easily, and the extra money at the end of a month can buy some personal luxuries, or pay a few bills too.

There are many places online where you can find lists of companies requiring data entry work from ordinary individuals. Among the better resources for locating data entry work can be found at Home Jobs Directory and My Data Team . These resources let you purchase directories containing thousands of companies, all of them offering pre-screened data entry jobs.

As with most of the work available online, data entry work attracts those who try to scam others. In fact, it is considered that for every legitimate data entry job there are probably 30 scams available. However, the good news is that they are usually easy to spot.

Don't be taken in by hyped up claims. If the claim seems too good to be true, then more often than not, it is exactly that - too good to be true. If the claims of earnings are modest, but believable, then you have probably found legitimate data entry work; scammers don't bother being believable. They want people to become emotionally excited about what they can earn, which is why sensible people so often fall for the worthless scams.

Not all the hyped up claim are outright scams. Sometimes they are bolstered up to sound better than the reality. Money can usually be earned, but perhaps not as much or as easily as the original claim suggested.

Data entry can be many different things. It can be the transcribing of printed documents into a digital form, usually into a word processing software program. It can be entering data into a database also using printed documents. It can be preparing reports, editing records or creating lists, or it can be submitting adverts to certain websites.

The people who find data entry work the easiest are those who are fast typists. In fact, the faster you can type, the easier data entry work becomes. A typing speed of at least 40 to 50 words per minute with a high level of accuracy is the usual standard required. While most companies offering data entry work don't expect perfection every time, they will expect an accuracy level of around 98% or better.

Data entry work is not glamorous, but it certainly can help with various payments every month. It's a very easy way to earn money online. However, always check every offer very carefully, especially if you are being asked to part with money.

Data Entry

Clickbank

ClickBank is an affiliate network that was started in 1999 in San Diego in California, and moved to Boise in Idaho in 2000. It lets anyone set up an account to sell a digital product through its popular portal.

ClickBank is known for its accuracy in tracking commissions and paying its affiliates on time. Checks are paid out for earnings over $100 every 15 days, which makes it very attractive for many who like to get paid quickly and often.

Another strong attraction of ClickBank is the relatively high affiliate commissions offered. The highest that is allowed is 75%, and many products are set at that. This means, for example, that a product priced at $49 would yield an affiliate commission of $36.75.

However, there are some charges involved, and the actual commission received would be a little bit less. Nevertheless, this is a very high commission to receive for selling a single relatively low priced product. When you combine this with the fact that many of the products in ClickBank are ebooks based on the "make money" theme, and are fairly easy to sell, it's no wonder that ClickBank is so popular.

Many Internet marketers start their careers promoting ClickBank products. The products lend themselves well to a review comparison site where several similar products are reviewed and compared to each other. They are usually also rated, according to the site owner's opinion, with a clear winner shown.

Review sites work well for affiliates. They help those people who have still not quite made up their minds to come to a firm decision. A well written affiliate review site will list not only the good points of a product, but also the things that detract from it.

Someone who is on the point of buying generally likes to see a less than rosy picture of the products they are considering purchasing. As long as the imperfect points are not something serious, this will actually help rather than hinder the process of helping them make up their minds.

New products are being released into the ClickBank marketplace every day. There are now over 11,000 products available, which makes it difficult to keep track of them all. For this reason, sites have become established to assist in this respect.

One of the best known, and free to join, is CB Trends at http://www.cbtrends.com/. This site allows you to follow products with rising trends to enable you to start promoting them early before the competition gets too strong.

Clickbank products have a number of factors attached to them. One such factor is Gravity. This is not a precise measure, but it gives a good indication of the number of people who are being successful promoting and making sales with the product. A high number here means that a lot of people are having success promoting the product.

This information means that the product is most likely a good one to promote, for if others are having success, you can too. Never be afraid of competition. Too much competition can be hard to work with, but healthy competition means that a product is selling well.

Autoresponders

An autoresponder is a software program that usually resides on a server, though it can be a desktop program as well. Its purpose is to respond to emails. While that is a simple action, most autoresponders are quite complex as they can also do a wide range of associated tasks.

Most Internet marketers use an autoresponder service. There are several available, but the best known and most popular autoresponder services are Aweber and Get Response . Being a member of these services will allow you to do just about anything that can be done with email.

The simple use of an autoresponders is when you are out of the office, perhaps on vacation for a week or so. You can set up a simple autoresponder that will most likely come with your hosting account to send an email back to every one received informing them that you are out of office and that you will reply as soon as you return.

A more sophisticated way to use autoresponders is to set up a series of messages to be sent out on a pre-determined time span. This is used frequently when someone signs up for a monthly newsletter at a site. The newsletters can be pre-loaded into the autoresponder and sent out automatically at the rate of one a week or one a month, or whatever other time period is preferred.

Research suggests that a potential customer requires, on average, exposure to an offer on seven separate occasions before they will be persuaded to purchase. The autoresponder is ideal for achieving this.

Many Internet marketers include on their product sales page a free gift that is related to the main product. In order to receive this gift, visitors have to submit their name and email address through an online form. This activates the autoresponder.

Submitting the form triggers the immediate sending of the free gift to the email supplied by the person who signed up. They are then placed in line to receive a further seven or more emails over the course of several weeks, spaced perhaps three or four days apart.

Each email reiterates the benefits of the main product using a slightly different angle each time. The theory is that by the time they receive the last email they will be persuaded to purchase the product. Tests show that this works very well too, and apart from the initial setting up, it all works automatically with no further effort on the part of the Internet marketer.

Because of the extent of spam, or unsolicited email, these days, those who use autoresponders have to be careful that they don't get branded as spammers. The most commonly employed way around this is the double optin.

When someone submits their name and email address through a form on a website to receive a newsletter or a free gift, an autoresponder will immediately send them an email that has an activation link embedded in it.

The message in the email will tell them that it is important to know that they really did ask for the information, and if this is so, could they please click the link to verify it. In this way they effectively sign up twice, or double optin.

Article Writing

Article writing is not difficult to do. Forget about the essays you had to do in school - they are not the same as article writing. An article is typically about 500 words long. It can be longer or shorter, depending on its needs.

However, around 500 words is generally considered to be an optimum length as it's long enough to be informative, and not so long that it gets boring. There's an old adage about how to structure an article that goes like this: tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, and then tell them what you just told them.

That may seem funny, but it works. It has a kind of simple reinforcing effect. After that, there are several important parts of a typical article that need to be done properly if an article is to have success. They are listed below in order of importance:

1. The headline. This is arguably the most important element of any article. Your headline has to grab attention and make the visitor want to read more. Good headlines are specific and never vague.

For example, this headline is weak: "How to Make Lots of Money Online."

This headline is better: "How to Flood Your Bank Account With More Than $37,349.51 Every Month Like Clockwork Using Just Your Computer and an Internet Connection!"

2. The sub-headline. Not every article needs a sub-headline, but it can definitely enhance an article's power. The sub-headline should complement the headline by expanding on the theme, or by making an additional relevant point. Sub-headlines can be longer than headlines as they tend to be more explanatory.

3. The introductory part of the body. This is usually the first paragraph, and may extend into the second paragraph as well. Its purpose is to introduce the topic and prepare the reader for what is to follow.

4. The main body. This is the meat of the article. This is where you can expand on the topic and say exactly what you need to say. This part can be several paragraphs in length, depending on the article's overall length.

5. The conclusion of the body. This is where it is all brought together. It is common for the main body discussion to be summarized as part of the conclusion, with perhaps the effects of implementing the topic of the article also added.

These five important elements of a typical article only work well if the article itself is written properly. For a start, article writing demands that there are no spelling mistakes. There is no excuse for spelling mistakes in this era where the spellchecker is common to every word processor on the market.

Good grammar is also extremely important. This is why article writing should ideally only be done into the writer's native language. Someone fully fluent in a language that is not their mother tongue can sometime write extremely well in that language. However, there are often nuances and certain turns of phrase that give away the fact that they are not writing in their native language

Answering Questions

Answering questions may not seem to be an obvious way to make money online, but it can be. You may be familiar with Yahoo Answers where you can pose a question and invite others to answer you. It's a bit like that, but if you are the person who supplies the answers, you will get paid.

Unlike Yahoo Answers, the sites that answer questions and pays those who supply the answers screen their experts a lot more closely. Anyone can supply an answer to any question on Yahoo Answers, but only those approved to do so will find themselves answering questions for pay.

Some of the sites that pay you to answer questions are general and cover most subjects. Some of them are more specific and target a particular niche only. There are a growing number of these kinds of sites and some pay quite well too.

However, it is quite intensive work as you will have to be present at your computer and online waiting in real time for people to pose a question that you are qualified to answer. You may also have to do some initial research to come up with the answer. While you are likely to know most things in your chosen field of expertise, you cannot reasonably be expected to have everything right at your fingertips every time.

One popular question and answer site is Just Answer . They have over 100 categories with experts to answer questions in every one and more. For example, while researching their site they claimed they had 159 experts on hand, ready and waiting for questions to be posed to them. This number will likely vary at different times, but this is an indication of their popularity.

The experts on these sites are often subject to a feedback system. This means that customers rate them according to how well their questions were answered. A feedback rating of 100%, for example, would mean that the expert concerned would have fully satisfied every customer with the answers they provided. In this way customers can choose the expert they feel is most likely to provide the best answer.

To earn money answering questions you will have to undergo an expert screening process. You will be expected to be an expert in your chosen field, and you will be tested on this. You may also be scrutinized by customers as well as by other experts as this is the real test of your skill.

If your knowledge is in a subject that is taught at college or even in school, then you may be interested in Student Questions . This site is geared towards students who need the answers to questions concerning their homework. There are certain ethical questions in this regard, but you will have to answer those for yourself.

If your expertise is in small business, then Small Biz Advice could be ideal for you. This is a site where people pay to receive business advice and answers to their perplexing business questions.

One site that is slightly different from most of the others is ChaCha . They accept questions from people using cell phones. This means that people may ask questions that are area specific, such as, "Where is the nearest gas station?" They would of course have to also provide their geographical location and you would then have to provide them with an accurate answer.

Affiliate Programs

Affiliate programs, or affiliate marketing programs, are systems that are set up so that a merchant can offer a commission, usually a percentage of the profits, to anyone who wishes to promote and sell the products that the merchant stocks.

There are distinct advantages for both parties. The merchant does not have to pay or work to get the customers that the affiliate brings in, and the affiliate does not have to stock items, or be concerned about payment processing and order fulfillment.

Affiliate programs are often run by affiliate networks. These are large online companies that manage affiliate programs for merchants or retailers. Typically they will manage many hundreds or even thousands of affiliate programs for many merchants. The affiliate marketer, also sometimes known as the publisher, can sign up with an affiliate network and find affiliate programs that they wish to promote.

This means that there are typically four main stakeholders involved in affiliate marketing: the merchant, the affiliate network, the affiliate marketer and the customer. This set up simplifies the procedure for all parties involved. Both the merchant and the affiliate marketer leave the management of the affiliate program to the affiliate network, and the customer is unaffected at every level.

One of the biggest sources of affiliate programs can be found at Commission Junction . This is one of the best established affiliate networks. Other popular affiliate networks include, but are not limited to: ClickBank , LinkShare , Shareasale , Affiliate Window , Amazon , and LinkConnector .

Most affiliate programs involve promoting a product and earning a commission whenever a sale is made. However, there are other types of affiliate programs. Google has one of the best known pay-per-click programs. Its AdSense program is well known and widely used. The main reason for its popularity lies in the fact that the affiliate marketer gets paid whenever someone clicks on an ad; they don't have to actually buy anything.

Another popular type of affiliate program is the cost-per-lead (CPL) model. With this model the affiliate gets paid when the potential customer takes a certain action. This is usually signing up to receive further information. At this point the merchant takes over and tries to persuade the person to actually become a paying customer.

The CPL affiliate program is very popular as, like AdSense, it does not require the visitor to actually buy anything in order to get paid. Also, CPL affiliate programs usually pay well. They are used by companies, such as those selling mortgages, who stand to gain a considerable lot if someone becomes a customer. For this reason the CPL model can be very lucrative.

Affiliate programs are commonplace all over the Internet today. Merchants who do not run an affiliate program are considered unusual in most cases. Not all programs are run through affiliate networks either, many merchants run their own custom programs, and often these can be very good and well thought out.

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is probably the most common way that people earn money online. It has many advantages that are attractive, making it ideal for the newcomer to the Internet who would like to test the waters and see if it is possible to earn some money working online.

Affiliate marketing means that a person promotes a product belonging to a merchant. When a sale is made the affiliate earns a pre-agreed commission. The merchant also benefits by making a sale that he or she didn't have to work or pay for.

The affiliate commission will vary, depending on the merchant concerned, and on the product. Most commissions are at least 5% of the profits, but can be much higher. ClickBank , for example, is an affiliate network that deals entirely with digital items. Affiliate commissions there are typically around 60% and can be as high as 75%.

The advantages of affiliate marketing are primarily the fact that the marketer does not having to carry any stock. The merchant has that side of things to deal with. If there is a dispute about a sale, or a demand for a refund of the money paid, again it is the merchant who deals with it. The affiliate marketer may also have the convenience of being able to use pre-made advertising materials from the merchant.

Affiliate commissions are typically paid out once a month. It is usual that a threshold is set, and only earnings that exceed this threshold are paid in any one month. A common threshold is $100, so if for example you earn affiliate commissions from a merchant of only $90 in any given month, you would not be paid in that month, and not until your earnings in the following month exceeded $100.

To make matters easier for those involved in affiliate marketing, a number of affiliate networks have sprung up over the years. One of the biggest and best known is Commission Junction . They have a large number of merchants signed up with them and they control the affiliate programs for them. Any affiliate marketer can sign up as an affiliate and once approved can start promoting a merchant's products.

There are many other affiliate networks available that affiliate marketers can make use of. One excellent resource where you can find affiliate programs and affiliate networks can be found at Associate Programs . This is one of the longest running and most dependable resources of its type.

There are many ways to do affiliate marketing. The most common way is to find a merchant with a product you would like to promote, which will earn you a decent commission, and set up a website to promote it.

This can involve having your own hosting account, but using good, reliable and inexpensive hosts, such as HostGator, makes this easy. You will also have to purchase your own domain name. Domain providers such as GoDaddy and Name Cheap also make this easy to do.

It is even possible to use a free website platform, such as Squidoo , Blogger , or WordPress to promote products. An excellent free resource for learning all you need to know about affiliate marketing can be found at Affilorama.

EARN MONEY ONLINE

There are many ways to earn money online. The Internet has opened up a whole new way of doing business for millions of people. It has also, in a way, leveled the playing field, as those living in more rural settings, where fewer amenities might be expected, now find themselves more or less on par with those living in urban areas where amenities of all kinds are normal.

However, in order to earn money online, work of some kind is required. There seems to be a myth that the Internet is this magical place where the work ethic has been abandoned, and where riches are there for the taking. It is not. The online world offers many wonderful opportunities, but they have to be worked for.

There are, broadly speaking, three main categories involved in earning money online: the dubious; the quick and easy; and the solid. Needless to say, all too often newcomers to the online world gravitate to the either the first one or the second. Those who choose the solid methods of earning money through the Internet are the ones who really win in the end.

The dubious methods of making online riches are the ones that are either scams, or of the "here today, gone tomorrow" variety. Money can be earned this way, but often the legality of the method is in question, or the method is unethical in some way. Usually it involves cutting corners in a slap-dash kind of way where the money is all important. These types of schemes come and go with dizzying regularity.

The quick and easy methods are a bit more stable, but can be a bit uncertain too at times. Again, the focus is on fast earnings – making a killing in no time flat, and using whatever method will allow that to happen. It's a business model built on somewhat shaky ground, though it can work out for those who are determined to keep at it. Many do make it work, but many fail too.

The solid methods are just that – solid and dependable. They use good business principles that have stood the test of time, and that will continue to hold good forever. The solid ways to earn money online never attempt to cheat anyone; they don't leave a customer feeling uneasy about a transaction.

On the contrary, solid online business methods leave the customer feeling that he or she just got a bargain! The merchant will typically over deliver to surprise the customer and make them feel that it really was a good deal, and one that is worth repeating again sometime. The solid online business person knows that a few dollars spent today can easily become hundreds of dollars, if not thousands, spent over a lifetime.

It should come as no surprise, unfortunately, that for every solid business set up online, there are probably 100,000 dubious "businesses" set up, and perhaps 10,000 of the quick and easy type. No one likes to work hard, and the constant promise of easy riches is all too easy to succumb to. This is understandable. People are just people after all, but the wise people are the ones who take the solid route – every time.

If we take a closer look at the ways that people earn money online, we find that the dubious ways are many and varied. It's a bit like the old Wild West in a way when law and order on the western frontier was still in its infancy and often non-existent. A common theme is that of "tricking" the search engines, or the social networks, to get away with something that allows the making of lots of money. Invariably, this scheme eventually gets clamped down on by the search engine, or the social network, in question, and no longer works. The people who managed to earn money online from the method just shrug their shoulders and move on to the next scheme. Easy come, easy go is the motto here.

The quick and easy methods have a bit more longevity, but often not much. They are usually not scams as such, but rather a method that involves minimal work for maximum pay. Cashing in on trends is one way. This is where something big happens in the news, the world of the celebrities, for example.

If you can be the first to buy a domain name that is the exact keyword of something that millions are suddenly searching for, you can throw up a one-page website with some information. Then if you get some social network back links, bookmark it and get it ranked fast, all you need do is find a way to monetize it. Google AdSense would do nicely, for example, and then you can make as much money as possible before the trend dies a natural death.

Of course, you have to keep moving on to keep this earn money online business model working, but it does work if you can be bothered to keep one step ahead of the rest. This is mainly a young person's starting out method. It works great for students and the like, and those who have no serious responsibilities. However, there's a better way...

The better way usually takes longer to build up. The timescale can be several years, or a good number of months at least. Usually, there is also a plan! It's been said that when you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Those who see the opportunity to earn money online as a long term serious business plan usually succeed.

In a way it's the tortoise and the hare race. The hare set off like a bullet, racing along as fast as he could go. When he realized he was miles ahead of the tortoise, he stopped for a rest. The tortoise plodded on, slowly and steadily, until he overtook the hare. When the hare woke up, the tortoise had already won the race. The serious earn money online business models are a bit like that. Guess which business models are represented by the hare!
