And it does not mean they are not legitimate. It means you are doing it the wrong way.

And if you are one of those who have done so to no avail. Either misled by the numerous online money-making information on the internet. I can assure you that the true information is what you’ve never been informed of.

It is “Building Brand” and this brand will necessitate the major money spinner which is “AUDIENCE.” You hear that? If you want to make money online, first of all, build an AUDIENCE with your brand.

As I’m writing blog posts and giving us concrete information for free, I’m equally building my own brand to be proud of tomorrow.
This is what many fail to do and they will damble into making money online overnight. Let me ask you, who knows you, and what you came to the table with?

If I may say, nobody dear knows you so, you became a suspect of scams to individuals whom you portray your products or services to.
What so many of us fail to understand is that an Iroko tree does not become a giant within a month.

So when people hear the story of a successful person they assume the success was overnight. Not being eager to ask how long and the process the person used in building the wealth.

So many of us who say the truth here will tell you that it is not easy unless you want to be a fraudster. Which I do not support that.
And when some of us truthful ones tell our story of how we spent two to five years or more in building our venture.
It will look so tiresome that you can’t think of starting yours right?

But the statistic is that, if you do not start anything today, you may stay like that and the next two to five years will pass by without you doing anything.

But if you started something, who knows you may blow up before the end of the year so, start something today. Then let’s learn how we can be able to build our audience with our brand.

IV) THE TRUE WAY TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE:

SPEND MONTHS/YEARS LEARNING SKILLS:
Learn some skills within a couple of months or years depending on the nature of the skills.

LIST ALL THE SKILLS LEARNED:
At the end of your skill learning duration, go ahead to list all the skills you have acquired. If you have skills already, list them and get prepared to let others know about your knowledge.

START TEACHING THEM:
Now start teaching them. Create platforms targeting the nature of the skills you have acquired. Give concrete information about what you have learned for years and do not hide anything.
Give it for free and your audience will accumulate with time when they might have noticed you have something that can improve their lives.

BUILD AUDIENCE WITH TIME:
With your consistency, people will come to notice you and subscribe to your ideas. Through that, your audience will grow over time.

START SELLING TO YOUR AUDIENCE:
Then you can start selling your products or services to your audience and go ahead to prospect for more individuals who will through your already built audience buy to your idea.

Remember, the highest buying clients are the ones that came through referrals.
Having given us how you can build your “AUDIENCE” let’s look into the role of AI in this modern day of online money-making.
