A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet this fantastic woman named Aunt Melba who enlightened me on her take of all these opportunities to make money online. Though she had never done it herself she still had knowledge to share that applied to making money anywhere-whether it be online or off.

Before calling it quits in '01 she was regarded as one of the premier minds in the marketing and advertising community. She spent her career developing award winning campaigns for products like car care packages and bran muffins. She sees what people are doing now to make money online as what she used to do with the help of T.V. and radio.

Since accessibility to online money making is so easy for the average person there have been others who have tried to exploit that. Aunt Melba feels that people are being given false hope and not real ways to succeed in the online arena.

All these claims of how to make money online fast and easy causes Aunt Melba to sigh and shake her head because that was the perception of her job when she worked. It can't be that fast and easy to make money online if the whole world isn't pursuing it.

Usually the things that are fast and easy means that it'll be fast and easy for you to dump a ton of cash into before you realize what is wrong. In actuality, people who do make money online work their fingers to the bone or pay someone else to and just want you to think it's easy so they can look like geniuses or gurus.

Then we switched to doing surveys to make money online and she asked me if I had tried that. Unfortunately I said yes and I told her I made very little money with a few different companies. Aunt Melba said that what I had done was nothing short of irrational and insane.

She said that it made no sense to do the same things over and over again if you're not making any progress. Aunt Melba pointed out that there were three things that could definitely make money online-if you stay consistent and be patient for your rewards.

These incredible 3 factors are: Systematic Strategy-Goal Set and Chase-Doing Work

Having a system means that you show find an online business opportunity that has a consistent way of doing things-things that will maximize your success. Something like 1 step, 2 step, 3 step, repeat, CASH!

Setting goals means having targeted things that you would like to accomplish within the next 30, 60, 90 days, etc

Doing something each day to further your business is guaranteed to be advantageous. You have to treat this with the consistency of a brick and mortar business- show up everyday and do some work. Being lazy about your business is the fastest way to no longer have

Finally, you have to have a reason that drives you to be successful making money online and ironically enough it can't be to make money. It has to go deeper than that to be something like to obtain financial freedom for yourself and your family. If you are truly looking for the perfect way to make money online, be very, very sure you are doing it for the right reasons.
