Make Money Online Blogging – 33 top posts on blogging in 2009
When I launched this blog in December 2008, my objective was to only share everything that I went through in my journey to establishing myself in the internet marketing business.
I knew there were quite a few people out there who start off like I did – with very less money and little information about the internet.

Eventually they find that they have exhausted all their money and have nothing to invest in important things like an auto-responder or, a hosting plan.
Who am I? Where do I stand in who’s who of the internet? Does that really matter till the time the ...
The Year 2010 – What’s your plans for the year?
Another year has passed and it is time to sit and review you achievements for the year. But what is even more important is planning for the next year. The big question at this point is – Do you have an agenda for the next year?

Twitter is today the hottest topic on the internet and it has redefined what Micro Blogging is. But with its extensive publicity and usage, Twitter has become more of a spamming tool than anything else. By this I do not mean that it has become a complete waste of time. Though most of the messages that you get at Twitter are more of spam, there are quite a few informative messages as well. There are also a lot of people and ...
List building and email marketing cannot make money online – Part 1
“The Money is in the list” is a useless and worthless statement.
This statement has been professed by the Internet Marketing Gurus over the past so many years and every newbie internet marketer jumping onto the “make money online” bandwagon comes in with a subscription to an autoresponder and a squeeze page, hoping that people will come and sign up at this squeeze page and he will straight away start making lots and lots of money online.
I have seen only a handful of them succeed online. The rest simple fade away from the internet and go back to their 9-5 treadmills with the belief that Internet Marketing and Email marketing does not work.
My beginning too was like this. When I started ...
My name is Dilip. I am a fan of the internet and am awed at the many opportunities that the world wide web provides. If used constructively , the internet can give you an opportunity to lead a life free of the 9-5 treadmill and will be able to give more time to your family members.
