So...where to begin!

So, where should I begin? Well..in the 20 minutes since I posted below, I have begun my investigation process. I think I am going to start with a look at affiliate marketing.....let's head off on my journey! Since the question I am posing is "Can you Really Make Millions on the Net", lets start with something that would make sense...

The Internet Millionaire

It looks interesting, it could be interesting....but as you know, my bank account makes most of my decisions right now. So first, I am going to take a look at it and see what I can come up with from reviews on the Internet. This is where Google really helps, let me tell you! Lets look at the number of pages devoted to this program, as well as the number of "It works for me" sites and "Its a Scam" sites.

Just so you and I both can track my process, first I am going to establish a simple way to review my progress. Here it is!

Current Wealthy Plan being tested: Affiliate Marketing
% of "Internet Million" made: 0%
Actual dollars earned to date on this Wealthy Plan: $0

The First Arrow

I am just like millions of Americans. Seriously.

As I sit here writing this, my electricity is in "disconnect" danger (don't worry, I will get it taken care of today!), my 2 car loans are past their due dates, and past the grace period, I have $17.54 in my savings account, and $350 in my checking account, in debt up to my hairline (the eyeballs were passed three months ago) and the creditors are calling daily.

I also dream of a better future for me, my husband and my two children. Eighteen years of marriage and we are still struggling financially. It isn't an income problem, it is an outgo problem! Sound familiar?

They say there are Millions to be made on the internet. Through eBay, through the blogosphere, through spamming (I can't condone that!), through personal website sales, through Google AdSense, through MLM Plans (Multi-Level Marketing like Amway, Arbonne, Mary Kay, and the like), as well as a "gazillion" other ways. Really. Seriously? Really.

So today I set out on a journey to find actual people who have made millions on the internet, and study the ways that they have accomplished it. Along the way, I hope to investigate, and perhaps even implement a few of their strategies! And with any luck, at the end of this experience, my car payments will be caught up, my electricity will be "safe", and my outgo problem could end. Who knows, if you come with me on the journey, you just might join me in being an "Internet Millionaire"...but more likely, we just might be able to make it one more month!
