I'm sure you've wondered why some people seem to be able to make money hand over fist while others struggle to make enough to buy a cup of coffee, and some can't even manage coffee money ! Sure there are some people who just seem to have 'the gift', the ability to make money out of anything, even the most hair brained idea, but making money really isn't that hard if you put forth a bit of effort. By now I'm guessing you want to know how to make some of that green stuff for yourself right ?

The best advice I can give anyone when it comes to making money is the trusty old acronym KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid ! Nothing could be more true. Don't bury yourself in a ton of small details that serve no purpose other than to frustrate you and make you second guess yourself.

Find something you are interested in, and give it a try. If you like pets, then perhaps the way to go is with a pet related business. Whether it be offline or online you can create a successful business out of your hobbies, and the best part is that you'll enjoy the work.

The biggest reason people fail to make money is because they give up too quickly. Why do they give up ? Usually it's because they've worn themselves out emotionally and mentally over the little details and by the time they're really ready to get the ball rolling they've completely lost all interest and have no motivation for the project any longer. Again I am reminded of an old saying that is still very true - Don't Sweat The Small Stuff !

You will make mistakes, that's a guarantee, but remember, what really matters is whether or not you learn from your mistakes and do what's necessary to not repeat them. I believe everything in life is trial and error, and there is no shame in making mistakes. You will also at some point in time need to invest money to some degree to make money. You'll need to invest in things such as search engine optimization, perhaps you'll want to pay for listings in search engines, link building, directory submissions, etc. All those items are pretty much necessary to help build traffic to your website. Without traffic you can not make money. Traffic means visitors, and visitors will hopefully convert into sales. Nothing comes free in life, so be very cautious of get rich quick schemes that promise you wealth beyond you wildest imagination in just weeks for a small one time investment.

Making money isn't always simple, but if you follow my simple advice here, it just might be a bit easier.
