15. Don’t Learn the Ways to Monetize

A great way not to make money online is to fail to learn the main monetization patterns.

The monetization models are all around you, and you can learn from people that are actually making a living on the Internet.

If you take a step back, you first realize that all making money online comes down to selling your products or services, or selling other people’s products or services.

You then realize that even when you make money from Ads or sponsors, you’re making money by selling other people’s products or services.

If you think about it, even working a job in a corporation is selling your “service.”

If you want to make money online, you need to have a working knowledge of how to monetize, whether that means Ad space, sponsors, selling your information products, selling other people’s information products, etc.
