Can you make six figures with an online business?

Question by Mark Jergens: Can you make six figures with an online business?
Hi. I would really like to quit my job and make a six figure income from home, preferably online. However, I have been getting emails on many different programs, but I’m not sure if they are scams. Also, I was wandering if anyone knew any good ways to make a lot of money online.

1. People have told me about a program called GDI (Global Domains International). It says you refer other people and you get $ 1 per person, and a dollar for every person they refer and so on and so on, down five lines. Is this a scam? Has anyone tried it?

2. I can’t design websites from scratch, but I can make a website with weebly, freewebs, etc. (drag and drop). Some people have told me I should build websites about certain topics, put google adsense and affiliate products on the site, and then sell the site after a few months. The problem is, this will take long to start, and I would probably only get 200-1000 per site if I’m lucky.

3. Other people have told me that I should buy a website script, that you install and creates a user interactive website. I have found a script that lets users submit and share their own music, and another one which is sort of like a Linkedin kind of website. Both of the scripts cost money however. But, I don’t think just ads and affiliate revenue alone could make me six figures.

So, does anyone have any better ideas? What about programs like GDI that aren’t scams? Please help me.

1. Google ‘pyramid scheme” – the pyramid eventually falls and you never get the money.
2. Plenty of kids out there designing websites on the cheap – just visit any engineering college.
(or even high school)
3. Not sure if you can make 100K a year doing #3…
