You have substance in your ideas, and you are interested in monetizing your blog; or you have a legit business and want to turn it into profit on the inter-webs. Welcome to the swirling vortex.

The more you research the folks that have made money relatively quickly on the internet, the more you will realize that in order for you to do so, you must sell your ideas about how to make money on the internet. Sound circular? Good, you get it.

The only people I know who are making quick money as “consultants” or via their blog space are the ones who are trying to teach others how to make money on the internet. Do you know what they will try to teach you when you pay them? They will teach that you need to start selling yourself as someone who knows how to make money on the internet.

Laughable? Yes. Reality? Yes. Illuminating? Yes. Only buy what they’re selling if you’re willing to act like you know how to make money on the internet when all you really know how to do is spin the wheel.
