I can’t tell you how many times I have told friends of mine about my blog here on CreateFinancialWealth.com and have received a weird response. I know what goes through some of their minds. For the most part, they usually don’t say much about it because they don’t know much about it. Most people probably think that blogs are for girls….mothers that are looking to put up family information for the grandparents to look at and get all emotional over. I’m sure that some think that blogging is for geeks or computer nerds who don’t hunt, fish or do much of anything else in the world besides hang out in their whitey tighties in their mommas basement.

People used to think that way…until they learned the kind of income I generate through this blog.

The truth is….if you are someone that knows much of anything about anything, you can create a significant presence online blogging about it. Big deal right? A presence. What the heck is that? For a business with a good idea, people just have to know you exist. That’s presence. But rather than putting up a billboard, you put up a blog.

WHAT? Did I just say a blog is a business?

The more you search the Net the more you will start to realize that most of the sites in the top of the search engines have a blog built into them or are primarily a blog. Search engines will love you if you know anything about anything and are able to turn that knowledge into a blog. So yes, a blog is a business….and it means $$$ dollar signs, if you know how to manage it.

Through this blog, I have made hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you look around this site, there’s not a ton of ads everywhere. I’m not an e-commerce site like Ebay or Amazon. Google Adsense wasn’t my money maker. With the presence I have created with this blog, I can do anything. Literally anything….because I have the presence.

Now, the reason I am saying all of this is because I know the magnitude of where I am and where anyone could be. Including you! If you have a passion for something, think about starting a blog in your chosen niche and become the Guru that people find in the search engines. It’s A LOT easier than you think. Once you get the listings, the traffic and the presence, you’ll get the $$.

Well here it is. I have decided to give you all an inside look at how I make money. Well, at least the top 3 things that produce the most income and one or two ways that will become more profitable for me in the future.

There are a ton of ways to make money working from home and regardless of when you start, who you are or what your results have been in the past, you can do it as well. It just takes action, one step in front of the other and a strong ambition or vision of what you want.

So here we go:

1. My Home Based Business – The biggest money maker for me throughout the last 4 years has been the home based business opportunity I promote on this website. It has been the reason I created this site. Initially I make money when someone purchases a product with the potential to generate anywhere from $1,000 to $14,000 per customer. Residual and passive income are also mingled into the compensation that pays me add-on sales as I assist others in creating the same kind of success that I have. So it is a win-win situation. I make money only when others create success! It is a highly lucrative business and continues to be my main focus.
2. Adsense -  For anyone who has done research into making money with Adsense then you know the potential of this one. You always see checks being cut by Google to Probloggers and marketers all around the world for multiple 5 figures and 6 figure checks for one months worth of clicks. If you think about it, Google is a multi-billion dollar cookie. There is plenty of money to be made with Adsense. I, however, have not hit the multiple 5-figure checks as of yet but my revenue is ever increasing with Adsense. As my blog grows, so will my traffic and every source of income will also increase.
3. Text Link Ads - This is a service that allows other marketers to place an in-text link on your site for a certain price. How much money you make is dependent on the traffic to your site, your page rank and a few other factors. Not all sites are accepted but you can always apply. Some say that text link ads hurt your search engine rankings with Google while others say that Google can’t tell the difference. So this one is up to you.

So these are the top 3 ways that I generate income with the first being bar far the most lucrative of them all! I also earn commission from other affiliate programs such as Amazon and may list those is a future post as their income increases.

The cool thing about making money, is that there are a ton of ways to do it. The one factor that will determine your success, is what you give you attention and focus to. Right now, my focus is with my Home Based Business and teaching others how to create wealth the same way I have. If I spread my focus too thin between many different ways of generating income, they will all suffer and it won’t be a profitable.

So if you plan on having multiple streams of income, I recommend that you find things that work with each other. For instance, I created this site for my Home Based Business. I started this blog to teach others about my industry, educate them on Entrepreneuralism and assist them is creating success in their lives, so I put Adsense and text link ads in the mix. They all go together and they don’t take my focus away from number one! Make sense?

In what ways do you generate an income? If it is online, be sure fill in the space asking for your website.

Can you really work from home and be as successful as you’d like to be? Are there any Home Based Businesses out there that can produce results? Are the promises and the advertisements stating the dream lifestyle and amazing income fluff or are there success stories? I guess the real questions is: Can the average person have the same results?

Now before I answer that question, let me dish out some statistics. It is fact that 80% of all businesses fail before their 3rd year in business, most millionaires have gone bankrupt or failed in different business ventures several times before experiencing success, the average income in most MLM structured home based businesses is less than $5k a year.

So can average people have all out massive success in a home based business? No! Average people can’t have much success in anything and I will tell you why, but first let me share with you the unwritten meaning of success. It means to excel, reach goals, stand out, accomplish dreams, create a fortune, experience results and all in all reach your desired outcome. How then, if you are average, meaning like everyone else, can you ever have more success than those who are also average. You must be different. You can’t be average and excel in a home based business or in any business for that matter. You must first learn to stop thinking like an average thinker, and to start thinking like a bug thinker, or an Entrepreneur.

The reason I say this is because there are thousands of people starting a Home Based Business everyday! Every single day! Now what is going to separate you from them? What are you going to do differently that will ensure your success? Here it is:

1. Direct Sales! Don’t waste your time or money on an MLM.
2. Find a Home Based Business with a system to follow and follow it to the “T”. System = success.
3. Find a mentor who is having success and get started with them.
4. Do what your mentor tells you to do and call them frequently.
5. Treat your home based business like a business, not a hobby. If you ever want to succeed then you must take more pride in your business than you do your job. Doing the bare minimum will not cut it!
6. You must be creative. No one will do it for you. Think of new ideas, “be your business” and do something original.
7. Play full out!! I cannot emphasize this enough. Mediocre and average effort will bring mediocre and average results. Play full out for all out massive success.

So many people just don’t realize that they can actually make more money, have more time, and spend more time with their family by starting a home based business. Average thinking people who have failed have clogged forums with negativity have distorted the true potential of a Home Based Business. While they have been doing so, so many people have been building fortunes and living dreams.

Direct Sales is one of the most lucrative industries in the world. People are literally making their prior annual salary in one single month. Why? Because they are not average. They are Entrepreneur…and there is a huge difference.

There are literally thousands of ways for anyone, with little or no experience, to make money from home. The only difference between all these different opportunities is of course, the business model, products, and most important, how much money you make. So depending on what your financial goals are, there are all types and kinds of businesses to fit your bugdet and desired income. There are some that work better than others and others that just don’t work very well at all. It is imperative that you choose a business that has a proven track history of success, testimonials from individuals who have succeeded and continue to succeed, and a stand-alone product. If the product cannot hold it’s value in the marketplace, then the opportunity won’t be around for long. For example, I have seen opportunities that are marketing a product that anyone can buy at Walmart, and for less!

When choosing an income opportunity, decide how much you would like to make. There are certain business opportunities that are only looking for very ambitious entrepreneurs. That is what I look for in someone when taking them on as a student. They have to have a strong desire to succeed, lofty financial goals, and the ability to be coachable and trainable. Other opportunities may take anyone who wants to get started.

If you would like to make a few hundred a month, you may want to look into typing from home, data entry or an MLM company. Most of those opportunities have very little start-up and can make you a few extra bucks. On the other hand, if you are looking for real wealth generation, creating time freedom, retiring yourself from your job, or starting a business to replace your current 6 figure income, direct sales is what you are looking for.

Now, I don’t have any recommendations for anyone who is looking to make an extra couple hundred a month. I do have a suggestion for someone who is looking to become wealthy. I am very successful at what I do, which is teaching entrepreneur minded people a very simple and lucrative system. I assist those who are capable of making quick and intelligent decisions to dupicate my results, or in other words, follow the system. It’s a lot like a franchise, plug and play! I am one of the top income earners in this business opportunity and also in all of direct sales and am more than qualified to lead you to success.

So there you have it! Find what you are looking for, don’t hesitate to get started, and make it happen. Your goals are only one decision away.

I believe the average income for people here in the United States is about $36,000 a year. That just so happens to be the exact amount I used to make when I was working a job a little over 2 years ago. I traded a minimum of 40 hours a week for a salary that barely paid my bills. In fact, we were negative $40 every month, not including any unexpected expenses and important things like gas and diapers. Believe it or not, my old boss actually told me to ask my wife to start baby-sitting for extra money instead of taking care of me! I was done with that life. I walked away and it was the best decision that led to the next best decision I have ever made. We decided to take a calculated risk and invest in a business opportunity, to try and shift our results. That was the best decision we have ever made for our financial future! We knew that this business opportunity had potential and to us, it was a no-brainer! We had to do it or continue to struggle.

Within the last three days I have deposited $41,000 into my bank account through this business opportunity. Do you realize that I have made more in three days than most American families make in an entire year! It is all because of the choice we made to get started in this business opportunity. Through this vehicle, we have become rich and empowered. Some people sell cars, some build and sell homes, some sell franchises, but we empower others through this business opportunity. We are changing peoples lives. We assist people in becoming a success in their lives. What a fulfilling gift to give people! The chance to take their life back!

So if you are looking to make a ton of money, and I mean a TON of MONEY, in the Personal Development industry, this is the business opportunity for you. If you can see yourself making this kind of money, do not hesitate to contact me! I will show you the exact blueprint that assisted me to where I am today. Making money is not rocket science, it is a ton of fun. When you learn to attract money, it just keeps coming freely!
