First I should ask : have you heard the news?

The economy is slowing down, the dollar is losing strength, the Real Estate bubble may burst, and hundreds if not thousands are losing jobs to corporate cost cutting.

It’s a wonderful time.

Yes you heard me, it is a wonderful time for all those “get rich quick” scam artist out there.

Their probably licking their lips in anticipation for more economical bad news. After all, the more the economy suffers, the harder it is for regular people to get by, and the more susceptible they become.

I can hear them now, typing away on their computer - creating some advertisements about how you can pay $97 dollars for a program that will make you $1,000 a day.

Now I am not saying that there aren’t any programs [ a better term would be - informational guides ] that can truly teach you how to make money online. You would have to be deaf, blind, and dumb not to see that “Google‘s” success with adsense has made several people wealthy. In fact -in February 2007, AdSense Publishers Receive $916 Million From Google for 4^th Qtr of 2006.

So money can be made online and relatively easy if you compare it to a regular 9 to 5 job. The problem is that there is so much to learn and more times than not - the information you are given or pay for is not completely accurate. Just think about this for a moment - if you made $1,000 a week from a website - with no extra effort only working 2 to 4 hours a day. Why on earth would you sell and give away the goose that lays the golden egg?

9 times out of 10 - you may have good information but is old [ the internet is a not stop always changing place ]. Or, they simply give you the basics and leave you wanting more -so they come back and sell you another product to help you with the last product they sold you. You simply can’t win this way. That’s why there are so called “Supper affiliates” and just “affiliates “ on the net.

If you don’t know what an affiliate is - I will explain it briefly letter on.

So the goal here is to show you how you can make money online - in three simple ways with no cost to you. No out of pocket expense or extra out of pocket expense. No need to order more products in order to help you achieve your goal that was promised in the first product sold you.

Now, if your reading this, I am going by the assumption that you have a website [ of your own ] and that you’ve been either looking into the subject of “making money online” or that you have dabbled in the subject and have some basic knowledge of the different ways to make money online.

I am not trying to write an 800 page novel, so I am going to show you a list of basic things you should know - if for what ever reason you are not familiar with any of the listed terms - look them up on the net. [ research - not order some program ]

There are more, but for what you will learn here [ the above listed terms ] you should have some basic knowledge of before we begin.

So lets begin on how you can make money with 3 easy simple ways at no cost to you.
