All of us have to start somewhere.
We see a lot of advertisements about making money online, and creating a passive income from internet.
The advertisements make it look so easy.
The only thing you never read about is the effort taken to make money online.
Put it simply, making money online is one cent by one cent.
You will not have a boss to tell you to do this or that.
You just have to put in the effort, and think of ways to get more readers to read your post or article.
You just have to put in more time to promote your products and articles.
Even if you are paid by the forums that pay you, you still have to type post after post.
Making money online is one cent by one cent.
You may want to give up after earning just ten cents. If you have given up, it is time for you to try again.
The real money will come after you have reached the minimum payout in the site that you have worked very hard.
Once you have the minimum payout, the rest is easy.
You will reach the first ten dollars, the first hundred dollars, and the first thousand dollars.
Sometimes you just take a year to make a thousand dollars. Most of us are not so fortunate.
We will take a couple of years before we reach the mark of the first thousand dollars.
The only thing that matters is that you do not give up.
If you give up, you will see your little earning of one cent, and there may not be another cent added to it.
Just forget about the money, and work hard.
You know that you will get the reward if you use the right technique, and put in enough effort.
Be realistic about making money online.
You will never become a millionaire unless you happen to own such sites as Ezinearticles, Hubpages or other popular sites.

I am quite new to this area. But after following how things are going on, I too have come to the same conclusion- money on the net does not come easy. It is like 'gold rush' every body heard about the gains, but nobody, till they were down there, knew it extolled pains. But you have given hope that at the end there may be something to be had. Nice write up.
Effort produces result, results produce returns. Money will come, as you state, if we do not give up. Thanks for the encouragement! :)
