We have looked at this subject before in the past, but it is time to revisit it. The question is this, can you make money online for free?

Think about this. How do you make money if everything is free. I just checked Google and Wordtracker and here is a few very common phrases that are searched everyday online...

O.K. let's say you join a bunch of free programs online. At this point the time you took to sign up is your only investment. How much money has the person who you joined made?

- Zero-

How much money has the company you joined with made? Again the answer is zero! What are your chances of being successful with this company. Pretty close to zero if you attract people like yourself.

In the offline world people use to make fun of salesmen or sales ladies. Not me because I was in that profession and I understood that if nothing ever was sold no one had a job. Not the receptionist, not the delivery person, not the factory worker, not the warehouse person, or not even the CEO and V.P's

Affiliate marketing is an industry that you can start in for free. Most affiliate programs charge nothing to join. They provide everything you need to be successful. Or do they?

Probably not, because they best affiliate marketers are people who buy the product and promote it through pre-selling. They write about their personal experiences. They have their own websites and blog to sell off of.

They do not use the free website each affiliate merchant gives them. And why would they want to advertise a website that is no different than thousands of other affiliates. Where is the advantage you have over your competition!

The reason affiliate marketing and network marketing have such a high failure rate is because of the type of people it attracts. Building a group of people who search the words make money for free gives you a group of people who complain way more than they will ever achieve.

These type of people wander aimlessly along the internet super highway looking for something for nothing.

I am here to tell you there is no free lunch on the internet. Nobody makes any money unless there is a sale made. PERIOD! I will say it again. Until something is sold there is no income produced.

Forget about making money online for free. You are going to have to invest time and some money before you will ever make any money on the internet.

Things like domain names, hosting, autoresponders, traffic exchanges, pay per click advertising, ezine advertising, classified advertising, and so on are not going to work if you are only looking for the FREE angle.

Make money online for free does not work for the average person.
