Can you really make money online is more than a legitimate question. With all the scammers that are lurking around on the Internet, this is a question and topic that requires some research to find the right answer. My answer is that yes, of course it is possible to make money online with just two steps.

1.Find the right path. There are various ways to make money online, from filling out surveys to writing posts for blogs. One way that I have found to be relatively easy and lucrative is affiliate marketing also called Internet marketing. As an affiliate marketer, your job is to promote other people's products. This saves you from the complicated task of having to create your own product when you are starting.

But you will have to learn the correct techniques and tools to use. You will have to learn the following:

1.Keyword research. How to find keywords that a lot of people are searching for but that do not have too many competition; 2.Niche research. You will have to find a specific niche that is not too competitive; 3.Building a website or blog; 4.Driving traffic to your website or blog.

Under the right guidance, learning these things is not too complicated. By investing an adequate amount of time, you can become a pro in as little as 3 months. But if you try to do these things on your own by reading free e-books and blogs, you may end up wasting a lot of time and not making any money. That's what happened to me and it took me a year to start making money, and that happened only after I invested in some reasonable training.

The ideal situation is to find the training, the tools, the support and the mentors all under one roof.

2. Invest in the right training

There is a university online where when you become a member you can have access to training, tools and support all in one place. Even creating a website or blog is very easy as you only have to push some buttons instead of having to learn coding. There is a forum where you can have all your questions answered by fellow internet marketers or mentors that are more experienced.

Like in any endeavor, it's better to have the right tools and mentors at the start as they will make sure that you you not lose too much time and waste money. Receiving the right guidance will also ensure that you do not get discourage or quit if it takes a little time to make money.
