Treat whatever you are doing as a real business. If you have the attitude of making money quick, it wont work in the long run.

I have been down the road you are heading. I managed to make 1000$ a month (R8000) for 3 month in a row, but after that, it went bang.

It needs to be a long term goal, 0 for 6 months, and then you start making money like any real business.

You could choose the blackhat way, but then your forever working against google, the trick is to work WITH google and dont try to game the system by taking shortcuts, Do it properly the first time, and PLEASE dont fall for ANY get rich quick schemes.

Trust me, no matter how good it sounds, no matter how many paypal invoices you see as "proof" dont buy the product. The guy who made the product or strategy only did it so he could sell it and make money.

There so many victims from these "money making schemes" i feel so sorry for them, as i have been just as desperate to make money from home, being promised the world if i buy something, and then to be disappointed after weeks of hard work.

After learning pretty much everything there is to know about online marketing/SEO i am now working for an established online company earning a decent sallery..

Its great when people ask what I do, and have no idea what SEO is and then ask were I studied LOL.
