FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Lots of people have asked me what I think is the single most important aspect of making money online. This is easy to answer and hard to do.
GET TRAFFIC
I can't stress this enough.
Why is it that two people can join the same site, using the same promotional tools, at the same time, but only one succeeds and the other fails?
It can only be luck or the sheer amount of people invited to look at the business or maybe a bit of both.
Personally, I believe it is the volume of traffic visiting the site you are promoting.
How do you get Traffic?
YOU STUDY THE ADVERTING AND TOOL SECTION
You join advertising sites, you hide your affiliate links, you track your links and this way you find out which
ones work for you. Yes, this takes time... but thats what you have to do
if you want to make money online.
The Next Most Frequently Asked Question
I get asked is Regarding the Tax Man.
I used to be a Tax Consultant and YES your earnings are subject to tax.

Online Marketeers loose billions of dollars every year to the tax man.
Most of you could save between $200 to $800 per month
BEFORE

pocket but it is only available to USA citizens.
