Belief is a powerful thing. Henry Ford is reputed to have said that “whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve”. Thousands of people make a full-time living online but when you’re first starting out in lifestyle design and trying to increase your income while freeing yourself from your day job it can be tough.

There are almost as many ways to make money on the internet as there are people doing it. Everyone has their own preference from selling ebooks, to setting up directory websites, to blogging, to affiliate marketing, CPA offers and so on.

Figuring out where to start can be one of the biggest challenges. And almost as big is knowing how long to stick with an idea before giving up. Some ideas will take months to come to fruition, during which time you need to stay strong and motivated and keep plugging away until the results start showing.

During that “lag phase” when you’re putting in the effort but not really seeing any results the only thing that will really carry you forward is your motivation. The longer the time to get some results, the more motivation you will need. And you will also likely need resilience as many of your friends and family (and maybe even you right now) will be cynical about whether it really is possible to earn money off the internet to free yourself from your day job.

So I want to give you something today. Over the next few weeks I want to place into your hands a small, simple business model that anyone, irrespective of experience, can use to earn money online.

Now, I need to be honest with you before we start. The goal of this model – of this series of articles – is not to help you quit your job. The model you’re going to be learning isn’t going to make you rich. And you will need to invest some money in the process (though not a huge amount).

The point of this series of articles is to simply teach you what I think is one of the simplest, easiest and quickest ways to make just your first few dollars online. To prove to yourself and everyone else that you can make money online.

Because once you see those figures; once you actually start to receive some money thanks to your internet activities, this will not only help spur you on to greater things, but it also gives you an argument against the naysayers who may try to tell you that you’re wasting your time.

Again, you will not be able to use this method to quit your job unless you’re very lucky indeed. It’s more likely you’ll make $50-100 a month from your efforts. But you should make something and that’s the goal.

Proof that it’s possible. Your first dollars earned online. And also some practical skills – the foundations if you like – to enable you to start building your own lifestyle business online.

We’ll get to building your full-blown lifestyle business in the coming months but for now let’s just focus on those first few dollars. On that tipping point when you finally realize “hell, I can do this!”.

So what is the method I’m talking about? Quite simply we’re going to build a number of minisites, and then monetize them via affiliate marketing. You’re going to discover how to carry out keyword research, how to build your websites, how to create content the easiest way I know how and how to attract traffic to your sites.

Yes, I know lots of people teach affiliate marketing. Yes, I know you may have read dozens of articles and ebooks on the subject. But having been online since 1997, I’ve never heard anyone actually lay out a model as simple or as powerful as mine.

You’ll quickly build a number of websites with minimal experience required, you’ll draw in small volumes of highly targeted traffic and they will make you money. What’s more, the process is quick, easy and enjoyable. You can also outsource it if that is your desire though I would advise you to put the hours in yourself so that you are learning some vital online skills which will come in handy in the future.

With that little introduction out of the way, I’m going to end this first part of the series. Keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks for updates where I will take you step by step through the process so you can start to implement it as quickly, easily and effectively as possible.
