Well, What are Some of the Ways to Make Money Online, According to Dave Nicholson?
I can tell you upfront, from reading what Dave Nicholson has to say, a way to make money online isn’t spending your day reading blogs and flitting around Facebook and Twitter making comments…
Don’t know about you, but I put some thought into the comments I leave on others blogs and their posts that I read, Facebook and other Bloggers Website included. For months now I’ve “played” the game of blogger.
As a result I used up all that creative energy that I formerly put into posting on my “sites” as I call them. Looking back I can see the error of my ways. No updates and a steady decline in what little traffic and authority I had built up.
WordPress is used all over the World
Just so you can take a look and decide for yourself, here is a small sample of some of my sites:
- http://SkipperWorks.biz
- http://SkipperWorks.com
- http://ArthritisReview.net
- http://SkippersBestBuy.com
- http://SkippersBestBuy.biz
- http://InternetMoneyStore.biz

How to get Started All Wrong!
I didn’t set out to comment here and there and thereby gain back links to my own blog (actually just glossed over any mention of “back links” didn’t know what they were, didn’t care).
What I discovered was a treasure trove of information, offered freely and with good intentions by some blogger Super Stars (in my opinion).
I never commented except occasionally to say Thank You for some helpful information I found in someone’s post or page.
And since I was looking for some information and help in correcting some problems that started showing up on some of my “sites” started paying attention to people who knew a lot more than I did about what to do to fix things.
How I got to Where I am Today With My Help and of Course Google’s Birds
As I have noted before in another post, I started taking a John Thornhill course and acquired my very first Human comment.
This was on the “site” I was working on and the comment by none other than Sergio Felix from http://marketingwithsergio.com/video-branding-101/ not his old Place of Business, but where he is now.
Note that Sergio has a background and education as an IT so his advice should be taken seriously!
Then followed.
After this I became acquainted with Barry Wells http://barry-wells.com/ who seemed to always have experience and a ready solution for many of my oops with WordPress that I was trying to solve!
Host Gator is very helpful, but as they are quick to tell you, they don’t support WordPress..talk to your website designer…(which is me, so talking to me wasn’t helpful).
How to end up without a working Blog!
- So I continued on my merry way,
- reading and commenting.
- .Facebook,
- Twitter and on a
- growing list of favorite blogs,
but I started leaving something out: Writing and posting on my own sites.
This new direction, along with the continuing problems with my sites and spending hours doing repairs and endless chats with HG support,
left me without the motivation, creativity and Time needed to do what I should be doing to maintain my sites.
Where Did I Spend my Valuable Time?
http://adriennesmith.net/
http://www.dansumnerblog.com/
http://www.johnthornhill.com/blog/
I could acquire a list each day of ten or more other bloggers who had commented on these blogs with shared information that was useful to me.
But if all I’m doing is reading, learning and then commenting to show my appreciation for what I have learned….
there is no time left to implement what I have learned.
Of course Sergio and Barry were on this Must Do list (never made a list, just went where I wanted to).
For example, clicking on the above links to verify they work, I spent some of my valuable writing time reading and commenting on Dan’s post about
Here are the Top 10 Prioritizing Tips you don’t want to Miss!
http://marketingfromscratch.com/top-10-prioritising-tips-dont-want-miss/
And Adrienne’s Blog is loaded with her Thankful Thursday post which consists of links to exciting things you need to know and put on or fix or update on your blog….ooooh.
John Thornhill is a little behind..he was still on a rant about JVs that you promote for, but when you do a launch they somehow seem to be missing.
Well, JVs are something to keep in mind for someone getting ready to do a launch, but I need something to launch… so it is filed in that dungeon of things I might need to know...
However John does have a pre launch check list that you can download that is Roast with the Gravy so if you are in that mode..check it out.
So since none of the above made any contribution to Making Money Online, but actually shows how to not make money or add value to your sites, lets get back to my review of Dave Nicholson’s 2008 offering.
So, How Do You Make Money Working on the Internet?
Dave has an h2 way down the page and this is how it reads:
What are the Simplest and Best Ways to Make Money Online
Dave Says:
I often get asked the question “how can I make money online”, the answer in short is to do a little work each day, creating, adding to and increasing your streams of income.
Great Tip, but it sounds like you already need a “stream” of income flowing!
OK, so where can you get started creating these ‘streams of income’?
Dave continued with his advice.
I have listed a few of what I consider the simplest and best ways for you to get started, don’t try to bite off more than you can chew, simply start with one method at a time and gradually increase after you feel you have completed one method to the best of your abilities.
Remember, these methods will possibly create you an income for many years to come, so keep that in mind when you are creating.

Dave lists several methods along with a description that fills out and amplifies the information.
- Affiliate Marketing
- Provide a Service
- Social Networking
- Advertising
- Create Your Own Product
Then Dave goes on to give the Advice you need to pay attention to.
All of these methods will create a stream of income.
He also believes it is smarter to have more than one stream of income.
But. In order to make this work…pick one..Just ONE and try to implement it and get it going.
In other words, we are back to Focus and Prioritizing your goals, your work, your time management, your mindset…..
Straight from Dave Nicholson’s Mouth:
“Now take one of these methods at a time and try to implement it as best you can, try to do as much as you can yourself, that way you will learn more and it will save you money.”
So, what should you take away from this?
Number 1. Don’t do what I did.
Number 2. Do what Dave and just about any good Marketer will tell you to do. (if you can’t remember, see above!)
What he is telling you to do, still works in 2014, 2015 just as well as it did in 2008, just update the methods a little here and there and
Most Important…Do It, because you can make money on the Internet.
From a Webinar I watched last night…45 minutes of continual talk.
The Gold?
Here it is:
to make money on the internet
all you need
1. product
2 converting page
3. targeted traffic: you need (according to the statistics) 100 real people
to look at your product
to get just 1 (one)
to buy.
So one more time
1. product
2. converting page
3. Targeted Traffic
Have you done this?
I’d like to know.
Did any the above suggestions work for you? Were any of them on the table when you were learning how to create an income for yourself by taking advantage of using a computer and the internet?
Share!
Now take one of these methods at a time and try to implement it as best you can, try to do as much as you can yourself, that way you will learn more and it will save you money. – See more at: http://www.dave-nicholson.com/blog/what-are-the-simplest-and-best-ways-to-make-money-online/#sthash.F9cHgteY.zG2gl7p8.dpuf
