When I sat down in front of my computer in the fall of 2002 I had one goal in mind and that was to make money online and work at home for myself. I found Stone Evans and the Plugin Profit Site shortly thereafter and started working part time building an internet business I called Team-Schuman.com.

This has evolved over the past 4 years. It took me 4 years of part time work to build up enough income to quit my job and now work at home full time. It is a lifestyle I would certainly suggest.

So here is what has happened in the past 1 year now that I am full time. I decided to take my business in 4 directions.

1. JV With Jeff

2. Network Marketing

3. Mortgage Refinancing

4. Article Writer

I set up sub domains for these and went after getting on page one of Google for these keywords, except for JV With Jeff which is part of my make money keyword list.

I am on page one of Google for network marketing and article writer. We have decided to change the emphasis of the mortgage website and start a blog for reverse mortgage for seniors. You never know where you business will take you.

I started the article writing business for my son who is a journalism major in college. Now we are writing almost 100 articles a week and need to decide to move this forward or to scale back and just pick and choose what we write. My gut instinct is to build this into a full time business.

The reason for that is with billions of websites and millions of new blogs being started one of the biggest challenges people face right now with their internet business is how to keep their sites fresh. This means fresh content the search engines will like and that means article writers are becoming more in demand. As the prices for articles go up it will be possible for a person to stay home and earn $50-$100K a year writing. If you can write 2 articles an hour you can earn over $40K a year right now writing at home if you get the customers to write for.

Our network marketing training website is doing pretty good. We have decided to promote Success University as the top mlm business for people to join. We are promoting the Plugin Profit Site more at JV With Jeff as opposed to a network marketing business.

Here is what I am getting to. So many times people are looking for the magic formula to make money online. I am here to tell you that the magic formula is finding something to sell or promote that you like and then learning how to get traffic to your website or blog. The rest will fall into place. If you try and make everything as interactive as possible you stand an excellent chance to succeed because people like to deal with someone they trust and can get ahold of.

This is why social marketing has become so big. You can find a group of people with similar interests to network with and feel like you are a part of something. It is only natural to buy their products and refer them when you can and they do the same for you. This is not a new concept, but social networking on the internet is taking it to a new level.

So anyone can make money online if they develop the skills to do it and then they work their butts off. There are no shortcuts! When you get right down to it you have to work hard and work smart. Set a big goal and go for it
