Can I Make Money Online in 2012?

For over a decade, people have been talking about how easy it can be to make money online. Most of those people have also been trying to sell you something, so who knows how honest they're being?  Is it still possible to make money online in 2012, or is there just too much competition to succeed?

Well, the bad news is that many methods that used to work well are now too outdated or impractical to still be able to make you a full time income. But on the bright side, there are many tried and tested ways to make money online that still work in 2012, and there are always new innovations coming out that are easier, faster, and more effective than their older counterparts.

But even if there are working methods out there, will they work for you? That all depends on how hard you work at it. As with most other jobs, the amount of money you make at first will be relative to how much effort you put into it. There are some "set and forget" systems that can make you a decent passive income, but probably won't allow you to quit your job.

On the other hand, putting in more work up front can allow you to make a full-time income with only maintenance work afterwards. It's up to you to make 2012 the year you make money online!
