Making Money Online in 2007

Well 2006 is finally gone. While it did fly by pretty fast I have to be happy about how things went. 2007 is my time to take things to the next level. I admit that this blog and entire web site is pretty neglected. I did help many people learn to start making money online in 2006, but this project is only one tiny fraction of my online business. While it is possible to make a lot of money online teaching other people how, it is not what I’m about.

This year will mark my move toward selling my own products and less affiliate marketing. I’m hiring some additional staff which should help the 25 or so web sites I must’ve built in 2006 start to take off. I made a lot of money last year don’t get me wrong, but I really believe that each of my web sites is running at about 5% of its potential.

I’m sort of an engineer by nature, so I have to force myself to stop making new stuff all the time. I’ve cranked out quite a number of web sites in the past 18 months and never even tried to get incoming links to most of them. Now that they’ve had a chance to age a bit, get indexed, go through all the Google Sandbox BS, etc it is time to turn it up.

I have to constantly remind myself that I know exactly what it takes to make money online (which is obvious since I’m already doing it pretty well), but I need to stop letting myself get distracted. Focus is crucial.

A couple of good quotes from some wise online people (I apologize if I get these wrong or attribute them to the wrong person):
