Ronnie Coleman said that. And he’s right don’t you think? The man is probably on steroids (don’t know don’t care) but he spends hours in the gym, sticks to a strict diet, and does whatever it takes to become the best in his profession.

That’s the truth to this making money online game. Everyone wants to do it, but nobody wants to spend a dime. Everyone wants you to hand feed them information, and then most of the time they squander it anyway because they are too scared to take the risk. I’m guilty of it sometimes, but you gotta be wary, lots of niggas out there ready to take your money and be out the backdoor before you know it.

Everyone wanna make money online, but no one wants to read and learn how to do it. I sat at my computer for at least a year trying different things out before I really made any profit. And I still do that almost everyday..Getting into something else as we talk the next couple of days. Surrounding yourself with the right people online and finding your way into communities where people are all trying to make money – and not on no sell you an eBook tip (mine was legit tho) but on some real tip.

Plenty of ways to go about it but it’s gon’ take some searching. Choose a topic and expand on it and aim to master it. Most likely it will cost you a little money but the point is to make more than you spend which you will learn how to do. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Adsense, Facebook Ads, Plenty of Fish Ads, Myspace, buying adspace on smaller sites, mailing, Adwords, FOREX or anything. Choose what you want and learn every little thing about it. Then test & try different techniques, be ready to lose a few bucks but when it pops off you’ll say it’s worth it. Lasting returns are rarely immediate.

I’m ready to lift some heavy weight ya dig.

Anyways, 10 years ago there was no Myspace, no Facebook, no Youtube. There was pretty much nothing of lasting significance on the internet. Those people had dreams, ideas, and balls to implement them. I see the internet as a 2nd world where you can connect with others, find an abundance of information, etc etc.. It’s also a place where people conduct their businesses and make millions daily. Everyday a new star is born. The great thing about the internet though is it’s relatively young, less than 20 years old. When it comes to mainstream use I’d say it’s barely 10 years old. Which means that it still has hundreds of years to evolve and you and I are lucky enough to catch it so early in its history. Youtube recently only turned 5 years old. Word? What the hell were we doing for videos before then? Yahoo or Real Player? No thanks.

So what I’m saying with this post is that, contrary to popular belief. everything HASN’T been done. If you have an idea and it sounds farfetched, don’t be afraid to follow it because the potential rewards almost always outweigh the risk. Who knew social networking would blow up to be what it is today with all these powerhouses involved. Who knows how long they’ll last until the next thing comes along? Just some food for thought is what this post is. I’m going to be working on developing a few ideas in the future…how about you?

You’re here at the beginning of a revolution. Take advantage!

Yesterday was a huge day in history. As you all know, the World Most Famous Man, Michael Jackson aka The King of Pop died. Man…ain’t that some sh*t. I guess everybody has got to go someday. So what’s this post about? Well, in all respect to Michael Jackson this blog has to see the “Get Money” perspective of everything.

Keeping your head during the storm..

When I heard that Michael Jackson died my first reaction was to get on Twitter, and then on Facebook, and Wikipedia etc etc. I was one of the early birds when it came to finding out. Five minutes later I realized…this is a get money opportunity. I rushed to GoDaddy.com…ripmichaeljackson.com and other domains had already been registered. I was like surprised at how fast people think. So my next move was to try something I’ve never done before – Pay Per Click.

I had a free $25 coupon for Adwords that I got for signing up with Hostgator so I used it and added another $25 dollars myself. Then I went on Amazon.com and found some affiliate links to Michael Jacksons Greatest Hits and proceeded to run an AdWords campaign. Now, remember i’ve never done this before so I just set it up to the best of my ability (I was learning on the spot). Since it was a worldwide phenomenon I thought I’d run a campaign in the United Kingdom.

Anyways, I got a bunch of clicks but not as many conversions as I should have or could have. I didn’t make a profit but didn’t lose too much so it was a great learning experience and definitely got me more interested in PPC. Yesterday while I was doing this a friend of mine told me, “you like to take a lot of risks don’t you?” No rain, no rainbows – no risk, no reward. Next time something big goes down, while everybody’s spreading the gossip, make sure you’re getting the cake. I know I will be.

I’ve been on a vacation for a couple days to Houston, or so I thought. I ended up working a little bit while I was down here. I tried out for a team and learned a valuable lesson – don’t get injured on the first day! It was horrible. I messed up my ankle and it ruined everything. So, I’ll be back in 3 weeks to try out again. As for money making, business has been going great. So what’s the lesson for today? Today I’m going to talk about risk – how it helped me and how it can help you.

Risk is important in the business world. We all know that Bill Gates took a risk when he dropped out of Harvard to further pursue Microsoft. We know that athletes take risks when dropping out of college to pursue a professional sports career. The world and everything we know was built on some sort of risk. People don’t take enough risk nowadays in the business world. They are afraid to try new things, afraid that they might succeed and their workload may increase, or afraid they might fail.

All I’m saying is take some risks. I took a risk buying the domains of my sites – took risks spending my time building them up, commenting on others blogs, spending money on advertising and more. I know they aren’t huge risks but I took some. So today, plan for 2009 and…

…Ask Yourself – Am I taking enough risk? Am I limiting myself by being afraid of risk? How can I make risk work for me?

After you’ve written down your answers, hit the drawing board and start planning.
