Thank you for some great input from Wonderful Web Women members today on our seminar. Today we covered how to make sense of information overload. There are so many ways to make money on-line that it can be difficult to know where to start.
We covered quite a lot and I will be adding this recording and accompanying transcript, big idea cheat sheet and action plan bundle to a section I will adding in the member’s area called “Start Here”. Until then, here a few things we covered:
Before you even think about the methods you can use to make money on-line you need to spend time on the following things:
1. Know your personal goal (this is the lifestyle you picture you are working towards. This is essentiwl as it will help you decide if an opportunity will get you to that goal or not. Gives you the power to say NO). One of our members recommended a passion test. You can see the site she recommended at:

2. List your exisiting skills and ones you need to master.(this is not just internet marketing skills but also other skills you have that you can use. Start a list of skills you will need to learn or outsource as you come across a methos of making money that you like).
3. Know your personal strengths and weaknesses. Don’t even think about working on your weaknesses so that you have those as skills. Instead, learn to manage your weaknesses. Ie, delegate things you know you hate (for me it is book keeping) or concentrate on what you do well and create systems to get you through the things you struggle with.
Then we discussed ways to make money on line. Basically there are 2 ways:
1. Sell other people’s stuff
2. or sell your own stuff
Sell other people’s stuff
Yep, it’s that basic! I recommend you start by recommending people buy other people’s stuff and you get rewarded with a commission. That is, become an affiliate. You don’t need a web site or any fancy software and that first cheque will give you great confidence.
Download the Wonderful Web Women Affiliate Handbook. It has a really good description of the basics, get you started making money - and it’s free.
Sell your own stuff
The next level is to create your own products and sell them. This is more work but can make you a lot more money.
We talked about:
1. ebooks
2. audio (recording conversations & seminars)
3. http://www.wonderfulwebwomen.com/recommends/jen1
4.ebay
5. selling services
We also talked about a few CDs I have created to help you understand:
1. The different ways to make money on-line, how to create an internet dream and not a nightmare
and
2. Step by step videos to set up and master Google Adwords
We also discussed Member to Member offers which you can access in the members area. This is a place for members to find products and services by other members that will save you a lot of money.
I welcome any suggestions you may have to help you make the most of our wonderful community of inspiring women.
Hope this helps you get started. The recordings of the interview and mastermind call will be in the members area in a few hours. Debbie should have the transcript ready by the end of the week.
Have a wonderful day
