Is there really a fast way to make money online?

In the second quarter of 2008, according to Internet World Statistics, the number of internet users was 1,463,632,631 - that is almost 1.5 billion people using the internet for anything from online shopping to those trying to succeed at making money online.

Surely with this amount of interaction online there must be many entrepreneurs making serious money from this, you may ask?

Well the answer is that whilst there certainly are many people making heaps of money on the internet, there are also many banging their heads against the wall without having any luck at all.

It appears that around 15% of online entrepreneurs are making 85% of the money transacted on the net - so are you part of the 15% or not?

So why is it that so few online entrepreneurs are making the big money - there must be an easy way to make really good money online?

So Lets See If There Really is an Easy Way to Make Money Online

Everyone will agree that it is hard to tell hype from the real deal.

Most of the money making products on the internet are to do with internet marketing & affiliate marketing and create so much expectation which often leads to extreme disappointment.

It is therefore no wonder that people often ask whether "anyone is making money online?"

Well the thing is that whilst many of these money making products do not offer much value some of them do have some real gems in them and if the purchaser of the product were to implement the strategies and work at it, they could actually realize some positive results.

So often it's the over hyped sales pitch (promising unrealistic levels of success over a very short time) of what could actually be a decent product that leads to disappointment and the labeling of the product as a scam - result: another aspiring internet entrepreneur is left disillusioned with the whole making money on the internet.

In conclusion making money online is a reality and anyone can participate in the wealth that is available on the net - the problem for many is that they think it should be an easy way to make money when in fact it's no easier than a bricks & mortar business - they both require extreme commitment and effort to realize any level of success.
