You might have seen sales pitches like “You just need a computer with internet connection” to earn money online using certain products. Things are not that easy. Trust me for the time being and go through the article.

Marketers speak like this purposefully to widen their customer base and get rich in the process. On the other hand what the buyers (YOU) get is completely worthless. Sometimes it may be some information available for free on internet, sometimes some valueless information on ad clicking on PTC sites, e-mail reading, form filling or other data entry kind of online jobs which leads you to frustration in the end. This way aspirants leave the hope of making money online and they earn it offline.

Earning money online is very much possible but success rate is below 5% to speak the truth. Because around 95% people looking forward to build an online portfolio either do wrong stuffs or do stuffs wrongly. And yes, often they get misguided by unethical marketers. let me tell you one thing, earning money offline is much easier (Even though it really hurts) than earning it online.

Today I will tell you exactly what it takes to earn money online sitting right here in India.

Until & unless you are good at communicating (written & verbal) with others specially in English, there is less hope for you. In case you are weak in English, better hone your skill.

Smart presentation, smart& intelligent decisions and smarter implementation of techniques will help you stand out from the crowd. No doubt.

You need to have the overall knowledge of internet marketing and then expertise in the particular area you want to work on. Things like keyword research, search engine marketing (SEM), SEO, Web 2.0 properties, Affiliate marketing, PPC, blogging, social media have to be understood clearly.

This is a must. Because directly or indirectly you have to sell something in order to get paid. So you have to have the quality of a good salesman to do good. Either you sell your own product/service or recommend other peoples product/service or sell advertisements your salesmanship quality helps everywhere.

You must consider your online portfolios as a business. And serious efforts has to be put in. It’s not like ” Making money while sleeping”. That’s possible after you establish your system in place, not before that. If you have very limited capital to invest then you have to do all these stuffs alone. But if you have money to invest then you must outsource almost all your works to the freelancers apart from maintaining the system.

You or your online business needs proper tools to do things properly irrespective of free or paid. So you have to be very careful and analytic when choosing a tool.
