Generating An Income Online Can Happen – With The Right Knowledge

Almost two years ago I set out to try and make money online. Being a stay-at-home home schooling mom I had to find something I could do from how. I would have to say the first 6 months of researching online income sources brought me not very much hope. The reason was because I was looking in the wrong place.
My first attempt at making money online is where a lot of people start. It seems people trying to make money online often start with trying to make money off people who are in similar situations as us. Since I wanted to be a work-at-home mom I decided the best place to start was trying to make money off of other work-at-home moms, through affiliate marketing and Adsense. Mind you there is nothing wrong with trying to generate an income by offering information to others that are in a similar situation but it seems that many of us try to start this way which means we are trying to get water from a tapped out well.

This also happens a lot in the “Make Money Online” scene that is sweeping the web. Many people who discover they can make money online start a make money online blog. I am one of those people. Time To Budget started out being a personal finance and make money online blog. Once I figured out that the “make money online” part of this blog was not helping market a specific niche, which is personal finance, I decided to stop writing posts about making money online.

I did still think that the discoveries I made about online income sources needed to be shared with others so I created another blog for my other interests, which includes social media, blogging, and making money online. The goal for iwebis is to follow changes happening with in the net so I still think the “make money online” article stick to the niche.

So what is my point anyway? Since I started blogging about a little over a year ago I have discovered a ton of ways to make money online. Most having to do with blogging but not all. The truth is making money online is not hard to do but the amount of money you earn is a different story. Going from making a few dollars a month to hundreds of dollars a month is not simple but it is doable.

I would recommend to anyone researching ways to make money online to first consider your interests outside of making money and outside of ideas that include making money off of people who are in need of money. Consider what things make you tic and that you are passionate about and start there. Not all interests are great money makers but most are. If you are trying to make money through blogging remember to have your own voice. Don’t try to recreate what someone else has already created, especially a popular blog.

Since I started taking blogging to a higher level I have not become a millionaire but I have made a decent amount of money.  Within the last three months I have made about $600 between both Time To Budget and iwebis. No where near people like John Chow and Problogger but it’s still an income. A much needed income that is helping our family gain steps closer to the other side of the financial freedom fence.

If you are looking to find legitimate ways to make money online visit my other blog iwebis as well as DoshDosh and Problogger.
