Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

If you are like me, you have probably tried many times over to figure out the best way to make money online. As a software developer, I figured that I should definitely have the skills necessary to succeed. But, when it comes down to it, succeeding online isn't about having extreme technical prowess. It's more about self motivation and having a specific set of resources available that you can draw upon when you need them.

With all the web technologies out there, it can be overwhelming trying to figure out where to even get started with a website. Topics like Web Hosting, DNS forwarding, .NET development, Javascript, SEO, the list goes on an on, can really demotivate anyone looking to start an online business.

But, it really isn't that complicated!

You don't have to know all these higher end IT concepts to get going online and be successful! That's the great thing about Wealthy Affiliate!
