So you wanna make money online?

Sunday, March 7th, 2010 | Uncategorized with 3 Comments

I finally got a chance to finish my “About Me” page, and I thought I’d share it here as a post.

Let me give you a little background about myself. My name is Oudam Em. I am a lifetime internet entrepreneur who has been making a living online since 1996. I have developed and maintained over 80websites (maybe more– I’ve lost count) in a range of niches.

Having graduated from Purdue University in 1996 with a Master’s degree in medicinal chemistry, I decided to pursue a career drastically different from my field of study. I’ve tried many online businesses, including web design, e-commerce, website promotion, SEO services, and affiliate marketing.

It has been a wonderful journey that has taken many twists and turns, and I’ve learned so much from both my successes and failures. While I don’t have a beach-side mansion or million-dollar Italian sport car to show for my work, I have been able to make a comfortable living off the internet.

My online business allows me to set my own schedule and take my work anywhere I go. I currently live in Cambodia, having grown up and spent some 27 years of my life in the United States. Besides the freedom and flexibility my business gives me, I thoroughly enjoy my work, waking up every morning to get online and do my thing. Indeed, my work is very much a part of my personal development as it is a source of income.

So you want to make money online?

Hopefully, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve set up this blog to share tips and tactics on earning money on the internet, drawing from over 15 years of experience in the field.

I am not going to tell you how to make $10,000 a month blogging a couple hours a day. Not that it can’t be done. I’m sure some people have done it, but perhaps as easily as they’d want you to believe.

Truth be told, the internet is littered with thousands of would-be millionaires who entered the business hoping to rake up the riches but instead have ended up as road kills on the information superhighway.

Personally, I can tell that there have been times when I was able to pull in over US$10,000 a month from my online pursuits. But I must confess that I have not been able to do it consistently or by working a couple hours a day.

Anyhow, I can’t imagine working only a couple hours a day because, as I’ve mentioned, I love my job so much. In fact, it could be said that I make money online without working at all because I’m just doing what I love to do.

Despite what this blog’s title might suggest, I am not here to peddle get-rich-quick schemes or reveal “secrets to internet riches” that you can’t find by searching on Google or reading the forums. The only secret I have to share is that it takes hard work and long hours to succeed online, which makes it such a worthwhile endeavor.

I hope to set the record straight on making money on the internet, providing practical tips, tactics, and ideas, drawing my own experiences. Having been in the business for so long, I think I have an idea about what works and what doesn’t work. Hopefully, the information on this site will prove useful to your own journey in making money online.
