There are many, many ways to make money online, but by no means are they created equal. There are those that don’t work out well, there are the scams, and then there are the proven ways to make money online. Over the few episodes, we will discuss 21 of the best proven ways to make money online. After hearing some of these, you may very well be fired up to get into making some money online! Note that the order we listed these methods does not imply any greater or lesser value, since people have different strengths and circumstances. The greatest requirements to make money online are creativity and diligence. The Internet is basically a canvas which you can use to your gain, but you will need to work hard to make things work. With that said, let’s begin looking into just how you can make some money online.  

Once you have money, you will take time to protect it by avoiding future catastrophes. Be cautious and always assume the worst. Do not go through life thinking that other people will not take advantage of you or that your money is not important to them. A careless mistake can cost you a fortune. A careless demeanor opens you up to attack. And you will never know where it is going to come from.

The average millionaire or comfortably wealthy person works for himself or owns a business. This is a law that is hard to follow. Most people think a business is a risky proposition simply because there are so many factors that affect the success of a business. A million things can go wrong, but a million things can also go right.  

Do not wait for business opportunities, create them. Entrepreneurs look at an empty lot and see possibility and a method for them to get rich. Those with a poor mindset simply see an empty lot. The rich look at garbage and see a garbage hauling business, a rust-­‐cleaning service, a recycling center. Those with a poor mindset see only the discarded tires, the dirt and the weeds.  

Support the traditional and explore the new. Opportunities grow with the growth of the Internet and the advent of technology. The  Internet is not just a place to go to. The exponential growth of business and the changing face of technology creates more and more investment opportunities for the modern investor, as well as the modern entrepreneur.  

Once you have established a firm financial foundation or put aside a little money, it is time to learn to invest. Many first time investors fall into the trap of waiting, and waiting until they “have enough.” The first thing you have to do is nix that notion, right now. You will find out by hearing these tips that even measly amounts can add up to great amounts over time. Others balk at investing because they think “I do not know enough to be a player.” That is right.

You do not. The truly wealthy understand how money works and never start sentences with the words “I do not know.” If you do not understand investing and how it works, it is time to start to do the legwork.

The truly wealthy or those who want to be, consider debt to be death to their portfolio. They only allow themselves to go into debt when they need it, and in that case they often refer to it as capital or even better, they often get it from someone else. Keep the motto in mind when working with debt and get rid of it as soon as possible.  

When it comes to wealth generation, another important factor that is hard to follow is “living within your means.” For many people, living in debt has become the norm. It is common for the average person to be buried in debt before they reach the age of 25. A consumer-­‐driven economy based on floating credit also creates the impression that wealth means more products. After taking a hard look at your assets and income, now you have to check your lifestyle and see where you can cut down on expenses.  

Keep in mind that the average millionaire is not who you think he is. The frugal rich stay richer—if you do not believe this, think of all those high flying celebrities who end up with their homes in foreclosure or selling their tell-­‐alls on TV to pay for all that Cristal and all those houses. The famous IKEA owner drives a Volvo. HSBC’s chairperson famously goes around the main office turning off all the lights long after the employees have left. The stories go on and on. The rich do not live the lifestyle of the rich—they stay rich because they are frugal at heart.

Creating a Wealth Foundation means earning Financial Freedom by creating a Wealth Mindset. The wealthy think differently. This is true and an inescapable fact. The other thing is that there is a poor mindset and a wealthy one.
