Making money online

Making money online is really not that simple.....its a bit like lokking at your favourite actor/actress/singer etc., and thinking how easy they hae it. The truth is that they not only worked hard to get where they're at, but chances are they are still woking just as hard...with long hours and being in te public eye all the time.
I don't believe there is a simple and easy way to make money online.....it takes a lot of time and persistence, and even then a continuity of the same to maintain that income - but then its just reflecting life.....and its not to say that one doesn't enjoy doing these things - whether or not its online or off, working at what you enjoy doing is the key to a happy life.
I've been watching various Guru's of the internet, and can safely say there are very few that are totally upfront with this. Its not that they don't have anything to offer, or that they are weasels, but its a heck of a lot easier to make a sale with the easy-sell pitch rather than being straight out with the fact that they themselves have worked hard to get where they're at, and you'll have to do the same.
However, I have found that having the right tools for the job has made it a lot easier - and as in most jobs, the cheapest tools are not always the best!
