3 Ways I Make Money Online

262 Comments

It’s probably a fair guess that many ROK readers are interested in making money online. It’s a dream that most people have, especially men who are interested in running their own affairs and being in control of their lives.

Making money on the web appeals specifically because of the level of freedom involved. The dream is to make enough to be comfortable, or maybe even rich, without someone breathing down your neck all day, and having some sense of security that if your job gets outsourced to China you will still have a means to pay the bills.

About two years ago I lost my job due to changes in the economy. I decided to start trying to make a living on the internet. I’ve now crossed the two year mark and decided to take inventory of how things have gone in the last year or so.

This is an account of the various ways I make money online. Hopefully, it will serve as a guide and help you make some decisions if you decide to follow the same path.

1. The Blog And Product

Make money blogging

One of the best ways to make money online is by starting your own blog or website and selling a product to your audience. I have had some success with this through my blog on men’s self-development, selling a mini-course teaching people how to get started making money online.

This requires a fair amount of traffic to be successful. You will be converting roughly 0.5% of people, in my experience, so you need at least 100-200 visits a day before you start shifting anything on a reasonably regular basis. Even then, I can tell you from honest experience that I go weeks without a sale, then several come in a cluster, then it dries up again for a while.

That is probably a pretty low conversion rate, and to be honest I no longer put a lot of effort into this site. It maintains itself at a steady 100 or so visits a day, converting a few meager sales here and there.

I’d say this site makes me roughly $3,000 annually. That’s not a lot, and certainly not enough to live on, but if you think about it that could pay for a comfortable month backpacking in Asia or South America, or could probably cover the car payments on a reasonably priced vehicle or service some debt.

I could probably make a lot more from this site if I put in the effort, but I’m not that bothered about it right now. That’s because my energy is focused on…

2. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is when you promote someone else’s product or service, and in exchange, you get a slice of any sales. The obvious advantage here is there is no upfront cost or effort involved in research and development or production. Someone else has done the legwork, and you are acting as a marketer on their behalf. The downside here is that literally EVERYONE is doing it if there is money to be made. Distinguishing yourself and standing out is a major battle, and one which (in a competitive enough niche) will actually be tougher than a day job.

You will need to pick a niche and work on it like crazy. I picked online casino reviews, which is one of the toughest markets you could possibly enter, and it has taken over a year just to yield results. That said, this is a market where the average affiliate makes $10,000 + per month, and super affiliates can earn $100,000+.

I’ll let you in on the fact that I am nowhere near either level, but I am seeing an upward trend in my traffic and after a long and drawn out schooling period, am hopeful that things are going to become profitable soon. Whatever you decide to get into with regards affiliate marketing, my experience so far has taught me – the more niche you can make your site, the better. A broad, general site covering a vast array of general topics will not cut the mustard. Too many people are doing it. If you want to make money, you are going to have to specialize.

Tip: If you are in an extremely competitive niche and can’t get your site ranked on Google, don’t forget that real-world marketing techniques like flyering, mail advertising, and cold calling can also work for online business.

3. Online Services

If you have a skill like website design, writing, programming, or sales, there is absolutely no need for you to ever enter an office environment again.

It took me roughly 8-9 months to build a big enough business that I could live off the income I was generating, but after a couple of years I can now clear roughly $4,000 per month, and that’s working around 25-30 hours per week. I realize this isn’t a huge amount of money by any means, but it’s a start, and there are many people willing to put in more hours who clear $10k per month easily doing freelance work online.

This is something I do not recommend getting involved in unless you a) have about one year’s money stashed away or b) are willing to work to build a reputation on some of the big freelancing platforms alongside your day job which pays the bills. It will be tough to start, but with a little perseverance and good work ethic, you will begin to make money.

Service businesses are not passive income in any way, shape, or form, and you will end up having to work at this like you would a normal job. The difference is you can do so from your couch, or a cafe, or wherever you want as long as there is an internet connection and you can upload files.

I’ve personally met someone who makes $150 on average per day researching keywords for firms which want to make their online presence known, and conducting competitor analysis. He spends his time traveling around Thailand and Southeast Asia having a whale of a time meeting hot ladies and visiting beautiful places, and does about three hours of work per day.

Much more is available if you put your back into it. The sky is the limit as far as I can see, and the only thing which stops me from making more money is my insistence on taking lots of time to read, lift weights, and travel.

Summary

So, in summary, year two has been good for me. I have built my online revenue streams up to the point where I am making $4000-$5000 per month profit, and I feel that this can easily double, then double again in the coming years.

What can you take from this? Whatever you wish. I just wanted to report my experiences. I have no doubt some people will be inspired, some will dismiss what I am saying, and some won’t give a damn. Either way, I hope you have enjoyed this article on making cash online. If you are interested or have any questions, drop a comment and I’ll do my best to answer.

  1. Can anyone write an article about this cultural marxist, feminist shit on Evernote’s blog?
    Went there to check some productivity tips and all I found was articles on women’s empowerment.
    blog.evernote.com

    1. ““I’M NOT AN ANGRY FEMALE, I’M A STRONG FEMALE.”—KATHRYN KOEHLER”
      I see what you mean. Kathyrn is Director of Social Engineering it seems

  2. who do you have as an affiliate? Amazon? just curious
    Its time to play “Guess the subject of Lars Halleck’s Sunday post”.
    My guess is: “How to do cock pushups without using Kratom”

    1. my money’s on ‘how to wrestle naked and oiled like the ancient greeks but without it being gay’

      1. LOL
        I worked with a Turk once, he told me their wrestlers would slather olive oil all over their bodies before a match. What a waste of olive oil

        1. well hope it was extra virgin as opposed to the bugger me in the steam room type. You’ve put me off my salad now

        3. It takes a big man to own up to his mistakes. And kratom will make a man big as fuck.

  3. I make $24,323.00 dollars a day online working for GAAGLE, just text IMAFKINGMORON to BR549 along with your personal info and bank routing number and I will be glad to show you how I can fuck you out of your money too!

      1. Me been looking for you. You win Nigerian lottery send me 350 American dollars for to process your paperwork then we forward lottery proceeds immediately.

  5. #1 suggests making money on line by selling a book on how to make money online right?

        1. dude, you check your phone at the gym? I cant believe you are “that guy”. This is disappointing to me

        2. Of course. Between sets. I wouldn’t go as far as saying I’m that guy. My between sets are on a timer so it’s not like thumb day guys lol

        3. I’m going to pretend I never read this exchange…I like the image of you that I have in my mind, thank you very much.

        4. As a side note, there are times that I curl in the squat rack — no foolin’

        5. Not only is he “that guy” but he’s actually checking ROK on his google glasses from the gym.

        6. Impicturing you with an oven timer on a string hangin around your neck

        10. I also curl in the basement of the Alamo.
          Your program is complete sir. Enjoy you Noah-esq feast. Come next week we will put your ass to work

        11. Fantastic – lemme check the ol’ “electronic mail”
          Thanks for the well-wishing – enjoy the “Wizards and whores Parade”!

        12. Wizards and Whores start in a few hours. I’m considering skipping

        13. I’m too old for that shit….Bright an early tomorrow is plenty! And then I eat the first animal that crosses me….

        14. You are my age I don’t want to hear about you being too old for it!
          Do enjoy. I had leg of lamb tonight. Could actually taste the innocence

        15. Remember our different perspectives – it’s the 6 hours of standing and chanting in church I’m too old for (and always have been!)
          And that lamb was no angel….

        1. That is the best thing I have seen all day! I should make one of those to use at my country bunker!

        4. You know what, I don’t much care about these women at all. For all I know they could have been educated.

        8. Actually,, file it under “I ain’t worth shit and am basically a dumb fuck so let me take out my frustrations that some Black women were infinitely smarter than anyone in generations of my family ever have been or will be by maligning those Black women who have nothing to do with the subject I am commenting under.”

        1. Or my favorite: when foghorn leghorn is playing hide and seek with egghead and is hiding in this big chest and egg head, clear across the yard, draws up some schematic, digs a hole and yanks Leghorn out. Foghorn walks over to the chest he was hiding in and says “I say, I better not look. I might be inside”

    2. Kneeman you are a genius. Now I can write a book on how to write a book on how to make money. Thanks for the idea don’t sue

    3. Its a money circle.
      Dont you get it?
      I sell you a product about how to sell products, thus i turn around in a circle when a moron buys my useless product.

    4. That theoretically works. Problem is high competition because everyone knows this idea by now (it’s probably 100 years old, from the days of mail-order.) Also, it’s a one-line idea. How to fill up a book?

  6. Here’s a good way to make money using the Internet. Go to an online sports matchups site. Look at the odds for the games. Bet the games. Be correct a mere 54% of the time (on the spread; odds vary for other wagers) – and you will make money.

    1. If you were only going to bet one way on a bunch of different games, would you bet on or against the spread?

      1. Depends on the situation. It’s complicated. Like, more complicated than high-level calculus. No schools a person can attend. But it can be figured out…

      2. I was having a conversation with a worker at a Waffle House regarding this, rather recently. His life plan was to head to Colorado and open a Marijuana dispensary.

    2. can you expand on this? my friend was talking about this, you need to move in and out daily on the pennies?

      1. Not at all. Do some research on different aspects of the marijuana industry. Things like companies that do R&D to find new uses for marijuana medicinally. Some stocks start off for under a buck, literally pennies at times. Established companies that are up and coming are in the $6-10 range are good to invest in too. Can’t pull out for 3 months so there are times you bite your nails. Best not to check on a daily. Anyways, in 3 months the stocks for pennies are in the dollars, the 6 dollar stock is at 9, the 10 dollar stock is at 18-20. You have to invest your own time looking into companies, making sure they’re legit, not some boiler room shit. This is my experience, I’m not saying its fool proof. I put $5k in 5 different stocks my first time around. I pulled everything out after 90 days, and I pulled out $13k. I should have just taken my $5k back and kept the rest in, I would’ve made more, but I’m a terrible gambler.

        3. Distribution channels in Northern California are already starting to get locked up with the latest wave of weed entrepreneurs. Grow-op property values are starting to get ridiculous in Humboldt and Mendocino counties. I have some buddies who just set up a million-dollar operation there, all legit.
          California goes live on Jan 1, 2018. Big boom coming.

        5. Have fun speculating on those small fries but don’t think they are going to explode in growth. You’re seeing nothing but hype from the pot stocks right now. Big tobacco is already set to take over once the green light for mass legalization turns on. Those little companies haven’t got a chance against the political and financial interests of Altria, RJR, etc.

        8. Never claimed to be. In fact, as I have stated, it could be all luck. I made and am making gains off the market, you are not. Is there a point to what you’re writing?

        9. It is all luck. One minute you’re advocating participating in something that amounts to a gamble while admitting you’re not a great gambler. That’s fine, if you want to gamble.
          But then in the next post, you lean towards the idea that there’s fundamentals to the penny pot stock trade (^^pay attention^^). Maybe your luck will hold out but fact is they are shit companies, regardless of the legal status of marijuana. Big tobacco is a better actual investment if you want to get on board with the pot trade.
          Lots of people got burned not long ago on pot stocks, will likely happen again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUSh6aiiHdU

        10. All trading is gambling, and no, I’m not a good gambler. I guess I shouldn’t advocate it, you’re right. A lot can change in 90 days. I was given advice, I took a chance, and it has paid off. I can put that money towards other investments. I’m not looking to retire off of this or looking to stay in.
          It has made me quick, actual money off of money that was just sitting in a checking account.

        1. I was confirming your pick. It was a sound investment and good advice to pass on.

        3. Ah. I have seen every Monty Python sketch, but never finished TBL. Need to make the time some day.

      1. I have been successful, possibly lucky. I’m not telling people to go invest money, go invest some time to do a little research.

        1. Was a joke, play on drugs and “high” lol. But yes, its a booming industry, I’d get on it after stocks are available in the US. But options trading on those could give much higher returns, but more risk too

        2. Right over my head, its been a long week ha. Gotta pay to play, no risk no reward!

  8. I am already independently wealthy thanks to my Nigerian banking relationships.

    1. Has that rich Nigerian prince that keeps emailing me given you the hookup?

        1. That asshole must have sent all the money to you cause I ain’t got a dime yet.

  10. Sell porn stars’ used panties.
    A billion betas will buy ’em.
    Buy cheap, sell high.

    1. your post reminds me of the schoolgirl used pantie machines they have in Japan

        1. yeah, read about that 15 yrs or more ago. think it was in WIRED magazine

        3. more common searches were “pantie machine in China” and “pantie machine in Singapore”; maybe its an Asian thing?

        4. I don’t think most Asian men score big with the ladies. So this makes sense in a weird way…

      2. I saw this on vice or some other sort of similar thing. F’n nuts

  11. If you can build a site with high traffic, you can then list-build and warm-launch ebooks and other products – your own or those of others in your niche working with you on a JV basis – to that list. But your site needs to be of high quality, and so do your products. And building the traffic will take time. Fine if you’re young, single and have few overheads. Not ideal if you’re married and have kids.

      1. People will manage to find it. They go apeshit over that flat-earth stuff. They will swarm the site like frothing attack dogs. It’s a winner…

        5. Genius uncle Bob. Also make a website on how evolution isn’t real, how men and women aren’t equal, and how the earth is the center of the universe and man you will be raking in the dough

        6. Absolutely true. Tell the truth, all the way to the bank (I mean, tell lies all the way to the bank)…???

        7. Haha, clickbait asshat. They (the visitors) will tell you what an asshole you are.

    2. I looked at the link you provided and scrolled on down to the comments,all I can say is, damn…..are people really that gullible? Maybe I should go into the online scam business.

      1. I read an article about on line scams — specifically prince of Nigeria bit. Funny thing is, they are written so stupidly on purpose. The idea is that the author doesn’t want to bring in anyone who isn’t dumb enough to realize it is a scam by the moronic way it is written or the outlandish concept. There is a very high percentage of people who respond to those ads who are converted into cash cows because just responding shows you are too fucking dumb not to fleece in the first place.

        1. I would never have thought of that but, it makes perfect sense. Find the stupid ones which isn’t very hard I suppose.
          It’s amazing that with the billions spent every year to educate the heathen that we have such vast ignorance in our midst.
          I had to make one of my as infrequent as possible trips to Wal-Mart Friday afternoon and …..damn, no wonder I keep getting more cynical.

  13. OT: if there are any NYC based ROKrs out there I am going for a few spins around the great loop in Central Park on the bicycle if you’d like to either join me or, for those of you who think I’m a dik, if you are in the mood to test your courage

      1. What about all those hot Russian ladies that show up all over the Internet here in the US? Isn’t Moscow crawling with them?

        3. Hot Russian ladies?? Russia is matriarchal feminist country since USSR. Russian women are ugly cold rude career oriented bitches. I’m Russian and will never date Russian woman. I prefer South Americans and Asians

        4. And they are more materialistic than any American women. Russian women would sell their mothers for a dolce and gabbana purse

        5. Hmm. I think you are to close to the source and should take a step back, but you are the guy on the ground. I haven’t been in Moscow since 2010, but the women were more attractive than what I am used to in the west.

        8. How about the rumors of mother russia becoming the stronghold of traditional values in europe?

        10. Hey man, saw some of your kin take to the streets to demand mobsters to be brought to justice.
          How are things there for ordinary russians ?
          What is the general quality of life ?
          Do you guys have jobs ?
          I am asking because I’ve read that there are huge problems there and I wanted to ask a real russian what’s up…
          Bless you, people !

        11. Hi ! I’ll tell you about myself. I live pretty frugal life, but have huge expenses. Most money goes for rent of shitty flat. I earn $2300 per month as software developer and I cant find better paid job. Its not enough to buy flat in ugly Moscow. Rich people own businesses. I want to create business and move to Spain, Italy, SEA or South America. Ask me more if you want more details.

        12. Thanks for the answer man.
          Was just curious about how life is for ordinary russians…
          Good luck at what you aim at doing !

    2. Dammit Kneeman, I’m in the middle of the midwest or I’d damn sure join you. On a vintage folding Marlboro mountain bike no less. Have fun! Think I’ll take the Z out for spin and see if I can aggravate the Higway Patrol. 😉

    3. Damn I wish I was there, I feel brave today. I ain’t riding no damn bicycle though, that’s why I make truck payments.

      1. Lol awww come on now bud a spin around the park is always fun.
        Almost Vidalia season?

        3. This is one of the crops I truly look forward to. I am a huge onion fan and there is nothing like these

        4. When I was a kid we used to say that it was good to get out and get some fresh air when we took our bikes to the park but I guess that won’t play with you. It’s 6.2 miles around. A great trip that goes past loads of cool things with hundreds (in nice weather thousands) of beautiful women, restaurants, live music, then NYC resovoir, a zoo, a castle, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, swimming pool — no trucks allowed though. Bikes, roller skates, skate boards and shoe leather express

        5. I think I have walked enough in this life, I deserve to be carried like royalty, and have women around to fan me and peel my grapes.

        6. Those things are so good they’ll make you want to slap your grandma.

        7. I already have my plans. Going to cook a bunch down in butter, going to make a soup, going to make some good tomato sauce that can be stored.

        9. Don’t think I have ever had onion jelly sounds interesting, like pepper jelly.

        11. Yes similar to pepper jelly but with the cooked down Vidalia it is sweet like candy. I actually put it on meat before I broil it (pork chops, lamb, steak) and make a nice sweet crust

        12. I have to figure out how to get your shipping address without doxxing ourselves because I’m sure some of the shit talking I’ve done here the last couple of years could probably get me in all sorts of trouble lol

        14. I get fresh air by the bushel, around here though if you want to see lots of beautiful women you have to go to Wal-Mart.

        16. When we get it figured out I will come up with a way to send you some green peanuts this fall. They will be so good it will make you have a southern accent.

        18. They are just plain old peanuts that haven’t been cured, can be eaten right out of the ground or better yet boiled with some salt on them. Only problem is shipping them because they have to be kept cool.

        20. Peanuts? Vidalias? Sounds like you’re near me. Tell me what you think of peaches…

        21. Nothing like eating them off the tree, there are a lot of them grown just north and west of me.

    4. The more I think about it, the funnier it is, anybody who thinks I’m an asshole come down to the park for your Saturday afternoon beat down lol

      1. Hey I made the offer. I was blown out from the gym and did a 12 mile hilly bike ride so it was as close to a fair match as possible

    5. I’m down at the park giving away bubble gum and ass whuppings and….I’m all outta bubble gum.

      1. Oddly enough I don’t have much “game”
        I am a pretty laid back guy who is very outgoing and talks to the people around me (men and women) and I have had an interesting sort of life, am in good shape and have a good job.
        I basically go sit at a bar and talk to people until my dick disappears into one of them.
        If there is any “game” it is that I am unrepentantly and, in this day and age offensively, old school masculine.
        Even last night the girl I was out with I told her to put her wallet away when the check arrived and when she insisted I told her “put you fucking wallet away before i slap you in the teeth”

        1. I approach quite a bit and speak to everyone cool but 9 times out of ten I don’t score a number but I keep trying . I usually run game at Ritz carlton . A laid back bar with older professionals or I scam sugar babies on SA when all else fails haha

        6. The first time (and last time) I was in a bar like that just outside of Jacksonville Florida I saw like 30 guys in stupid tight jeans and moronic hats get up and do a complicated, synchopated line dance called “the boot scootin’ boogie”
          You could have knocked me over with a feather. That was the night I decided never to visit America again.
          I asked one of these idiots if I was in a fag bar. He didn’t like me.

        8. I’ve never been so glad to get back to New York. My trip to Jacksonville for a wedding was so traumatic. I will only leave New York for LA, Miami, Las Vegas, French Occupied Caribbean Islands and possibly, one day, a return to Paris and St Tropez
          I have no use for the rest of the world

        10. You should have opened with Yoohoooooo baby instead of being a big city rude boy!
          Manners…….Jeeez

        11. If you can do the drunk 2 step the women love you . I met a female doctor last week who’s boyfriend was not there . I’ll give her credit she refused to cheat on him no matter how hard I tried. However she danced close to me for 3 songs in a row .

        12. Paris in spring is glorious. I don’t think I’ll see it until I retire unfortunately.

        13. Those aren’t women lol. At least not the ones I saw. I have a pretty strict rule that a woman in denim of any sort is pretty unfuckable.

        15. Culture? Florida? It;s just crocks dragging kids into lakes at Disneyland!

        16. lol. Miami isn’t too bad for a vacation that lasts less than 4 days. Generally, outside of NYC, LA and Miami I am fairly certain there is nothing really to see but that Vegas is a place where you can have some fun.

        17. In Texas the country bars do attract thin nice looking women . They are somewhat surprisingly polite as well for americunts

        18. I get that. I don’t like polite women. That dough eyed innocence does nothing but annoy me and southern accents on women make me irate…but that is personal taste. I can see how, in texas, you could do well in some country bars if you knew your country game. Just not my show

        19. I took dance lessons. I pull older women though. Th e desperate ones. I take what I can get. It occupies time when there’s nothing else to do

        21. This ain’t no shit to laugh about…That kind of …cultural self-killing poison is now all-over-europe as well.
          No disrespect to the bearded men, but I’ve been informed that some of those guys should get some scars to match their neet-trimmed beards.
          If you see a bearded-male-uber-beta test him like the shit he is.
          Those guys need scars.
          Modern beta male = modern Judas.

        22. Looks like men have stooped to a pretty degradable level…
          How about taking up Martial Arts and Bible lessons ?

        23. My way of dealing with this is to just stay out of hillbilly country from now on. I’ve got no reason to travel to Elvis land anymore. If these fags want to dance around like morons to country music it’s fine with me as long as I don’t have to see it.
          As for shit testing and giving scars, I have other stuff to do–I will leave LARPing and Revolution to others

    8. damn, I’d do it but, out of town in the country side – so bored…
      worn that track out over the years.
      best day I ever had when young and handsome:
      3 hot chicks.
      one don’t remember.
      One hottest ever – little Venezuelan chick,
      and a fresh of the turnip truck from Ohio Victoria’s Secret girl…

      1. I do 4 spins around every day and Sunday weather permitting! Let me know

    10. Whoa, always bragging about your bicycle and shit. I bet I can bike twice as fast as you!!! Fucking piece of shit! Fight me weaknee!!!

      1. You spend an awful lot of time thinking about me. I’m not sure why. I figure it is either jealousy or a fag crush. Maybe I banged your sister? Anyway, good luck with life champ…yer gonna need it. I can tell you don’t have much going for you. If you ever drop the chip off your shoulder and want help and advice on how to be a man let me know. I don’t hold grudges

        1. How to be an ‘online man’ more like it. So now you bike two hours a day, lift like Arnold, crush tens regularly. I’ve gleaned this from just a dozen or so posts (which aren’t hard to find). Throw in about 8 hours a day of online larping. You really are something. I’m done here though. I guess the larp life chose you.

  14. Hey Greg, how did your friend get the type of gig researching key words for that firm? There are sites like O-Desk, E-lance, etc, but I’m curious if you have any recommendations for where to get started if you’re looking for online freelance writing work. Also, I presume you need your own website to pursue affiliate marketing, correct, and one that already receives a solid amount of hits per day?

  15. 4. Publish an article on ROK designed to drive traffic to your blog about how to make money online. Not actual autofellatio, but mighty close.

  16. Starting from scratch on those freelance websites sucks. Its wiser to start as a hobby or part time gig while keeping your day job. Im not one of those guys that takes big risks. Heres what I did:
    Gave myself a 3 year goal. Three year goal was to be remote 6 months out of the year. That meant my job had to change slightly. I did video production for ten years. So waking up at 4 am to set up lights and cameras had to change. I focused on graphics and editing. ( You can do that from home). Started finding online clients ( part time). Saving money. Networking. Eventually I quit my main job, and went in house with a struggling startup company doing SOME production, but also their online marketing (they knew nothing). I was still freelancing online as a fallback. Luckily, the struggling company finally took off. By then, I transitioned into full time marketing and online sales for them. (Its important to note, I slowly built up the online clients, and stayed on good terms with the previous job, as a plan B and C).
    Three years later, I only have to show up at the office about 15 hours a week, and I can work from another country for about 1 month a year.
    During that one month, Im in latin america studying spanish and dating some incredible women… Inching me closer to my final goal, which is to be fluent and move there before I turn 40. ( 33 now.)
    A LOT of formerly steady american jobs are just plain gone. Adaptability with your skillset, and maybe even your citizenship will be important in the next 20 years, I believe.
    Also, I tried not to get anyone pregnant during this time , at least no one who knows me that well.

  17. I signed up on freelancer.com in order to sell my cadd modelling and finite element, computational fluid dynamics skills. I wanted to charge $40 / hr which is half what most charge in the usa.I got outbid by indians and pakis charging $10 per hour

    1. But generally the Sub-Continent mob are grossly incompetent and people who use their cheap services get badly burned.

  18. I’m thinking about selling kratom at the state fair instead of corn dogs

  19. The truth is that you can “make money online”. Just like any other method of doing business, you have to treat it as such. You do need to learn how to attract an audience and communicate your value to them effectively. When people hear or read the buzzwords” make money online” what usually comes to mind is people who try to make money by scamming people with products that have no real value.
    However, if you had someone who knows how to set up an online business properly and how to offer people useful and/or desirable products using online methods, I would suggest you try the Four Percent Group.
    The value there is to learn how to use online tools to find and reach a targeted audience of buyers. Ignore the “make money online” aspect of it and try to see the value in how the instruction and tools can show you what it takes to sell products online and actually lower your learning curve if running your own business from home is something you would like to do.
    The Four Percent group is free for basic members. Yes, there is a paid version, but you really can get your feet wet and learn some basic things as a free member.
    I recommend checking it out.

    Now, for the cynical smartasses who will undoubtedly have something snide or negative to say about this, there is an easy way to get around it:
    Just move on and do something else. You won’t be saying anything new that hasn’t been said before, so save your keystrokes for looking up porn sites.

  20. The most profitable online blogs are people who teach people how to make money online.

    1. I believe it was Trump who once said at a ‘Get Rich Seminar’: The first secret to making money? Charge people to tell them how to make money.

      1. Haha , love it… it’s about time people on this site realize that most of the writers on ROK are more full of shit than the waffle stomp

        1. No, no. They’re masculine men who go on masculine adventures and do manly things. Don’t you read their bios? 🙂

    2. Upvoted simply for learning a new term, wafflestomp”.

        1. I always said those germans used to be the cradle of civilization…
          …Until third world sand-people started shitting in the showers.

  22. So, using the internet to teach people how to make money online is the advice? What are you teaching them, how to teach people to teach people? Sounds like a pure pyramid scheme.

      1. Yep, completely right. What’s the matter, can’t you prove your point or are you so arrogant you think your pathetic statement has merit?

        1. No, nowhere in his article is he advising readers to use the internet to teach people to make money online. That is not correct. That is a person’s choice but not normally what is done.
          The article is cover a few options for men who may wish to pursue revenue online.
          Here’s are three options he explained and gave his personal experiences about:
          1. A blog and product
          2. Affiliate marketing
          3. Provide services (freelancing)
          And I quote:
          “What can you take from this? Whatever you wish. I just wanted to report my experiences
          Facts can’t be arrogant or “pathetic”. They’re just facts.
          Pyramid schemes are not the same as legitimately earning money. Completely different concept – not even close.

  23. I didn’t even bother to read it, I know a POS when I read the title.
    Doesn’t RoK usually ban the “I make $50 an hour online” spam posters?
    Yet here we have one writing a bogus article.
    It’s funny how none of the RoK writers appear to be real people doing real jobs?
    You’d think the manosphere would have a few more plumbers or builders.
    But all we have is bloggers and other homeless losers.

    1. P.J. – Instrumentation & Controls Tech here. I don’t always crawl around in nasty ductwork filled with fly ash or make at power containment entries, but when I do it’s in a power plant. Been doing that sh!t since 1981. But my wife doesn’t have to work outside the home either and we have a nice place in the country with plenty of land, edible pets and a shooting range in the back pasture. So yeah, I have a real job. I just haven’t written anything for ROK…yet.

      1. Yeah,
        The readers of this site do appear to be employed …… but the writers aren’t. It’s a strange situation. Everything currently appears to be written by young people who have never held down a job, and probably never will.
        If I were to write about making money,
        It would essentially be, get a government job that still pays a pension, work hard for 20-30 years, don’t waste money on a wife who will (or could) take it off you (do porn or fuck holidays), then retire as soon as you can to move somewhere that allows you to live off your pension while dating young local women. But I guess all everyone wants is get rich quick schemes these days.
        RoK supposedly supports traditional values, but apparently not the traditional work ethic, all the advice here is on get rich quick schemes. I guess our society is busted beyond any hope of recovery.

        1. I do soil sampling on gps grids for variable rate fertilizer application and drive the applicator among other things so I am gainfully employed.
          I think what some of those guys are hinting at is just ways to stay out of the corporate grind and not to contribute any more than necessary to “the system”. I too think it’s silly sometimes to assume that everybody can get rich from “passive” income from the net but, I’m not a computer tech type guy either. Most people are going to have to get a job where they are required to show up every day on time and WORK.

    2. We can’t all be men who like 12 year old male forms who buy prostitutes because we have no game bro.

    3. There was that truck driver who talked about truck drivin’ a while back.

    4. If that’s what you think, you either have serious reading & comprehension issues or some strange way of interpreting things.
      It’s simply an article with information for men who would like to explore online income ideas. All the ideas he wrote about are legit.

  24. Nice article. #1 reminds me of the old adage: “If you wanna get rich during a gold rush, don’t dig for gold.. sell shovels.” I thought about setting up a business selling & installing systems for Bitcoin mining (like some big ass 4xTitan number cruncher for $15k).. but unfortunately that ship has sailed.

    1. If you wanna get rich in a gold rush sell booze and hookers.
      I would have thought, but what do I know?

  25. Another one of these articles? Jesus Christ, not a day goes by without another “life coach” spouting vague cliches and “money back guarantees” with no details or concrete evidence of success. Of course, all that will be in their product for the low, low price of $995 a month

      1. The first paragraph of section #1, “The Blog And Product”, he covertly alludes to his blog and links to it.
        Now I obviously don’t mind people getting paid for a product or service. But this article shares absolutely nothing and does not entice me to consider his product. It’s full of cliches and generalities, with zero pragmatic examples or evidence of success. This is the self-help/”life coach” pitch 101.
        I’m supposed to go to the site to get real substance, you say? I went to the site. It’s an empty sales pitch, but not a thinly veiled one like the one in this article. It looks more like a typical bold, infomercial-style sales pitch.
        I have nothing against the author and would love to hear an actual blueprint on how to make money online. So OP, would you mind providing some DETAILS, maybe a free sample that makes up about 10% of your product, other than to just trust you that it’s a great product with a money back guarantee?

    2. He did no such thing, because I’ve been through several e-courses and get a barrage of emails every day with “fantastic new method” offers. I’m now starting in affiliate marketing.
      I know a sales pitch when I see it. This is not. Just an article to give men ideas, and I appreciate his information.
      More and more I see negativity towards others who are successful with making money online, and without cause. I’d say you need to reevaluate your perspective.

      1. He never states he’s successful either. He vaguely says”I could probably ” . I know a few women food bloggers who visit my restaurant . They have thousands of followers . All they get from me are coupons

        1. He did state he’s earning income, which is the baseline criteria… Just that he admits to not going as far with it as he could.
          In the online income world, if you’re earning income, if you put in the effort you can scale up and become more successful. Likely the women bloggers do not use the approach required to do that, so it’s not really the same thing.
          Still, my point was that he’s discussing legitimate income sources, not a “sales pitch” which is the overly negative and incorrect claim being made.

  26. eBay, motherfuckers. Lots of demand for forg … umm antiques, art, old books and stuff.

  28. About 40 years ago, a guy named Joe Karbo published and sold a book entitled The Lazy Man’s Way to Riches. The thesis was to write and self-publish a book telling people how to get rich by writing and self-publishing books. He cleaned up.

  29. Learn how to code and you can make a lot of money online. Why? Because coding is still a rare skill. Every retard can create a blog, vlog or e-book, so don’t think you’re a special snowflake and that everyone will like your content.
    And then you have a lot of people who try to scam the system by copying videos and monetize them on YouTube with AdSense. Or all kinds of other scams with fake and copied content. This comes and goes. Coding on the other hand is a skill that will always earn you money.

    1. It’s not so rare when you consider all the H1Bs the US imports to take these jobs at a much lower rate.

  33. Whenever the words “I personsally know someone who …..” is thrown out there like an MLM pitch

  34. By far the most promising venture right now to enter with 0 capital and walk away a multi-millionaire is crypto currencies. Vast majority is still skeptical about digital currency but the fact remains people have bought BTC with pennies just a couple years ago and now are walking away with millions of USD all over the world, that is without ever mining or doing anything IT related for even a second.
    For a brief intro on how this can also work for you, without any Deposits or Investments ever, feel free to check out my informational videos on Bitcoin generation from scratch, absolutely no strings attached: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TGBJDfBtNA

  35. Nice article!! I want to share my experience with affiliate marketing.
    I have gone though one site which is very popular now days. They are providing free affiliate training as free member of the site..
    It’s a step by step guide to make money online and anybody can follow and understand. It’s a very good for any beginner who wants some practical experience. Here is the link ->>

  36. Hey, how did your friend land that seo job? Did he network and make relationships with companies on a personal level? And what is his level of seo knowledge?

  37. Thanks for the article – always appreciate ideas and real-world experiences & opinions.
    I’ve noticed a large number of negative comments below with incredibly incorrect/stupid remarks, regarding legitimate ways of earning money online as a “scam” or “pyramid” scheme. It does not even make sense. Those are completely – and remarkably – different things.
    I’ve noticed in several venues that men who successfully earn money online are prone to receiving a lot of negative comments from nay-sayers who are too lazy, scared, or blue-pill to make the effort to be successful the same way.
    Sad to see it, as it’s so weak and annoying. But winners do, and losers complain.
    Such is life.
    One reason I started learning about affiliate marketing and started two sites of my own is to break out of the 9-5 world and one day live abroad. The information is out there, and a lot of it is FREE. But if you want to live a happier life with more freedom and be your own boss you have to have the right mindset and be willing to take action.

  38. Interesting article, but still not enough info to sink teeth into to make it more actionable.

  39. I have seen many blog posts about making money online through blogging or selling a product. That is a good idea but you have to be good at writing at least 800 word articles about a specific topic that people search online to drive traffic to your website and not everyone has the ability to do that.
