You have probably heard about people making hundreds of thousands of dollars simply by marketing a product on the internet. There are thousands of books out there telling you how to get rich quick on the internet. Most of them are bunk. This is not to say that you cannot make a tidy profit on the internet. In fact, you can easily make a living working on the internet and quit your day job. You dont need to invest a lot of money or have a Masters Degree in marketing, either. You just have to know what sells and how to sell it.
A few years ago, I went to work at a job that I hated every single day. I have a high school education and there was not a lot of opportunity open for me. Going to school to earn a degree was out of the question - I have two children who I support solely on my own. I had neither the time, money or energy to further my education. It was all I could do to get to work and pay the bills.
One day, I found out that my job had been outsourced. The company that I had relied on to take care of me, decided it was more important to save a few dollars and send my job to another country. They gave me a few bucks and told me to hit the road.
I was a 40 year old widow with two kids to support and no education and little skills. I figured I would have to go on welfare or get a number of low paying jobs just to keep a roof over our heads.
