However, online income has been highly associated with get rich quick (GRQ) programs and schemes. If this is what you are looking for, I have to very politely let you know that the Get Rich Quick magic formula doesn't exist here.

In fact, in my 6 years of stumbling down this beaten path of earning internet money, I have found out that there is no such thing as a get rich quick program. Its all a hoax. Just an attractive piece of bait that will lure you down a dark isle where ultimately you will find yourself completely stripped.

Believe you me, I have been lured by these and fallen victim to many such schemes. The possibility of earning substantial amounts without lifting a finger seems rather enticing, doesn't it?

The newbies are the ones who are most likely to fall into these traps. The seasoned ones have most probably been bitten a few times already by the 'GRQ' dog and by now they are a bit more conservative and realistic about their goals.

Like many others, every time I tried pressing the 'GRQ' magic button, I found myself being electrocuted. So my advice to you for such programs are DANGER : STAY AWAY FROM THEM

Alright, so this website is not about get rich quick programs... then what the heck is it about?

Lets just say that this website is an autobiography of sorts about the 6 years that I spent pursuing my online income career. While I have put in my 2 cents worth of expertise and wisdom, the actual value of this website lies in the fact that each and every visitor, just like you, can lend in their thoughts and opinions. And it becomes part of this website.

Online-Income-Fortune.com is less a website and more a community, where so many people have made contributions in an effort to make this one of the best and most helpful guides for those seeking an online income. YOU can too!!! Have a look at the ' Have YOUR say ' section on the navigation menu on the left-hand side.

So is it really possible to make an income online?

The answer to that is a definite and resounding YES.

Is it easy? Yes, it is.... But all genuine and real online income streams will need adequate application and hard work on your part.

By hard work I mean genuine commitment to what you will be doing. Don't let small ups and downs along the way affect you. Be disciplined and give your chosen stream of online income enough time to grow and develop.

Mark my words, if you do this with patience, you will find yourself an incredibly satisfied and happy income earner in the long run.

Now.... Will you be able to earn a fortune?

That depends on what your definition of fortune is.

While having to adapt to multiple streams of online income, I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of people who are successful in their respective online income fields.

Mark Harris from California used to work for a company. He wasn't thrilled with the income he was earning. So he decided to try his luck at freelancing his services online. Today he earns 10 times of what he used to while working for someone else.

A 10 fold increase in salary is a dream come true for Mark. That is a fortune for him.

Susan Hall is a single mother who has to take care of her 3 children while making sure she earns enough to support the whole family. Juggling work and family responsibilities were taking a heavy toll on her.

That is when she decided to educate herself on the foreign exchange market. Today by stepping into the world of online forex trading, she finds a lot more time to spend with her kids AND she earns more than what she used to at her conventional job.

Susan had earned her fortune. Quality time with her family was important to her without compromising on her earnings.

What do I consider a fortune?

For me, it means a mixture of money, flexibility and independence.

It has been 6 years since I first tested the waters of online income. The first 2 years were a lot of struggle. Things started improving after the 3rd year. Then, by mid 2008 I was forced to find myself a new boss …. ME.

For a year I have been working for myself now. Up to then I had been doing this part time while doing my full time job as a graphic designer.

I loved the transition. I loved working online. I loved the flexibility of work time and the assurance of a steady income from multiple online sources. Nothing huge, but more than enough to provide myself, my wife and my 3 year old daughter with a lot of good things in life.

This website contains a lot of useful information about what I did to bring myself to the position where I am today. Some methods were more successful than others. But you can be sure that all of them are real and proven ways of earning money online.

Here are just some of the methods that I have used quite effectively :

• Online freelance work
• Forex trading
• Affiliate and network (MLM) marketing
• Ebay
• Pay per click campaigns
• Online surveys

and a few others you will come to know from this website.

There are a lot of companies and websites out there who earn money by charging you for almost the same information provided in this website. You are getting them for free, so make good use of it.

I need to make a special mention of the most recent avenue of earning income online that I have started. I believe it will be the most enjoyable out of the lot for me.... mainly because it will allow me to focus on things that I am passionate about.

That's what SBI does. SBI simply allows you or anybody else to follow your passion while making lucrative earnings at the same time.

I feel that it will create a huge impact on my already impressive online income earnings. I believe in it so much that I have created a whole section especially about SBI on this website.
