Online Stock Trading

Internet Content Assistance

Brian Clark

Brian Clark of CopyBlogger teaches online writers how to capture the attention of their site's readers. Clark's blog covers everything from driving traffic to your site to the 8 habits of highly effective bloggers. CopyBlogger is ranked one of the 50 most popular blogs and has over 137,000 RSS subscribers. Brian built three businesses using his knowledge of online marketing techniques.  He teaches bloggers  the keys to building, monetizing, and selling website.

All of these examples above are designed to demonstrate that you can create your own business model for making money online. You should carve out your own specific niche that fits your passion. Don't try to work in an area just to make some quick dough. It takes work to build your business and you will get sick of writing posts or selling a product that you care nothing about.

For example, I am sure that a ton of money can be made my being a full time Internet marketer. That's not exactly my passion so that wouldn't work. As a matter of fact, I would suck at it. I did however find online blogging interesting so I started this blog. So, pick something that you care about. Now, get to work!
