Have you ever been talking to friends when someone mentions their idea for this or that and someone blurts out the wonderful option of putting said product or service on the internet and then just sitting back and making a ton of money. Most everyone has experienced a situation similar to this right? Or at least thought about it? I think there's a huge misconception out there that a person can just put a product or service on the internet and bam... make money.
Well, if you've done any research on this subject (that subject of course being making money on the internet) you realize that this isn't at all the case. It isn't as easy as just putting a product 'out there' and making money. I sure wish it was but unfortunately we live on the planet earth, and it doesn't work that way. Think about it, once your site or product is 'out there' how are people going to find it? I've learned from experience that there's not some internet fairy out there flying around making millions of people aware of whatever it is that you're offering. I used to think this fairy was real, but now I realize that it's not. There's much more too it. Making money on the internet with whatever product or service you want to offer requires work.
The first thing that has to be done is for you to figure out how you are going to drive traffic to your website. There are many ways to drive traffic to your product or website, but very few are free. Most options will cost you money and what does the fact that people want money from you bring? The fact that people can make money off of this type of information brings a can of worms bigger than anyone could imagine. Not only does it bring a BIG can of worms, but the can has fallen over and there are worms everywhere!
It seems like everyone has the answer to driving traffic to your site and they would be more than happy to provide you with that answer for a price. My webmaster charged me fifty bucks a month for "search engine optimization" and all that was happening was my site being submitted to search engines! After six months of everything remaining exactly the same, except for me being three hundred bucks lighter, I told him to stop the madness. I told him there was no point in me paying for something that wasn't helping my website or product. So be careful about all of the SEO stuff out there.
There are many ways of driving traffic to your website and some of them are actually free. Some of them would include: Article submission (a great one), free press releases (this one doesn't seem too effective), a newsletter or e-zine (getting subscribers can lead to the same can of worms spoken of earlier), message boards, and others.
The bottom line is that a person can't just 'put it on the internet and make $1,000,000.' Not without the effort that having anything worthwhile takes. With persistence and faith it can be done, it's just not as simple and easy as many would have you believe.
