By KEVON WILSON
What’s Included in This Training – The Best Ways to Make Money Online
Hi there, my name is Kevon Wilson.
I want to congratulate you on taking this first step in our training series – The Best Ways to Make Money Online.
I’m assuming you’re starting this free training series because you want to find out what are the best ways to make money online.
What I’m going to cover in this training series.
First, I’m going to show you the massive potential of the Internet. If you think you understand the power of the Internet, think again. I will blow your mind with some of the latest statistics to show you just how significant the Internet is and the vast potential it has for you and your future.
Then I will show you all of the variety of ways you can make money online. The different mechanisms that can be used to make money online. And I will show you what I consider to be the best way to make money online – my #1 recommendation.
There are really tons of ways to make money online. But I believe that for someone now starting off, a newbie, there is really just one method you should use. Even most of the seasoned and experienced online business marketers out there continue to use this method to this day.
After that we will discuss the four key pillars needed to build and sustain a successful online business – M.S.T.C. And these four pillars are relevant for any kind of business. Without them, you will not succeed. And I will show you what these four pillars are.
Then I will take you through the Four Steps involved in building an online business – from the moment you decide what you want to do to the moment you start earning hard, cold cash.
Then, watch me do a Live market niche analysis. I will select a few niche ideas and break it down LIVE. You’d discover whether your niche is profitable or not.
I’ll also demonstrate how easy it is to build a website (once you have the right tools and systems). It will literally take me under 20 minutes – guaranteed.
Then I’ll show you a trick that many online marketers do not do. So you’ll literally get a head start or competitive edge over others. It’s a really cool market strategy that will have customers eating out of your hands.
Get secret access to my segmentation funnel. I’ll show you behind the scenes of my segmentation funnel – exactly what I do and how it works.

Here are 8 Reasons Why You Need to Stop What You’re Doing and Get Into Online Business ASAP
1. Half the World is Using the Internet
There are nearly 4 billion people on the Internet (3.88 billion to be exact, according to Internet World Stats) which represents a global Internet penetration rate of 51%.
This creates a huge opportunity for anyone wanting to start a business online.
Imagine being able to reach a market of that magnitude? There is only one way to do that and it is through the Internet.
2. There are 2 Billion Facebook Users
In 2017, Facebook had approximately 2 billion registered users.
That’s more than 6 times the size of the United States of America.
The number of Facebook users is actually larger than the combined populations of China and the United States (the two most powerful economies in the world).
3. Nearly 3 Billion Social Media Users
Imagine having a market that’s almost 10 times larger than the population of the United States of America.
Imagine getting access to a market that is two-fifths (40%) of the population of the planet. That’s the magnitude of social media today.
4. The Sheer Numbers Point to the Massive Opportunity of the Internet
The sheer volume of Internet and social media users means that the potential to create a legitimate business online is very real. The possibilities for making money is huge. And you don’t even need everyone to buy from you to understand the vastness of this opportunity.
How would you feel if just 1% of Internet users bought from you every year? One percent represents 40 million customers.
Now, imagine that it’s only 0.1% (one-tenth of a percent). That’s 4 million customers each year.
Let’s get ultra conservative. Imagine just 0.001% (one-thousandth of a percent – imagine dividing a cake into 1,000 slices and you get just one slice). That’s 40 thousand customers each year. What might 40,000 customers do for you? Or even 4 thousand customers each year? What would4 thousand customers do for you. That could totally change your life, couldn’t it? If I had 4,000 customers using just one of my businesses, I could retire. Think of the possibilities.
Do you think all of this is far-fetched? Let’s talk dollars and cents now.
5. The Value of Online Retail Sales is Huge
In 2016, global online retail sales reached an all-time high of $1.915 Trillion dollars, that’s nearly $2 Trillion dollars or the number 2 followed by 12 zeros (that’s $2,000,000,000,000.00) and this does NOT even include money spent on travel and tickets for events (according to eMarketer). This industry grew at a rate of 6% between 2015 and 2016. That’s double the rate of growth of the global economy, according to the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook, 2016.

6. The Value of Online Retail Exceeds the Economies of 184 Countries
Let me show you what $1.9 Trillion dollars mean.
In 2016, the value of online retail trade exceeded the economic activity of 184 countries in the world, according to the International Monetary Fund. That means only 7 countries in the world generated more revenues than the online retail business.
In other words, if the online retail industry were a country, it would be the 8th richest country in the world. See diagram below of the top ten economies in the world compared to online retail business.
Is your mind blown as yet? Boom! Drops mic.

7. Your Opportunity to Make Money Online is Huge
Now, I’d like to ask you one simple question.
How would you feel earning just 0.001% of the value of the online retail market? That’s $19.15 million dollars in one year.
Or what about just 0.0001% (one ten-thousandth of a percent – 1% ÷ 10,000)? Does that sound like a lot to you? That’s a really small fraction that represents $1.915 million. And I know quite a few people who are doing more than that.
Doesn’t seem so far-fetched now does it?
Now, I’m not saying that you will make millions online. I’m not even saying that you will make even $1 online. There are hundreds or even thousands of different factors to take into consideration. It’s a business after all and any outcome is possible.
But the most important factor in this equation is you. We’ll talk about that in a subsequent training session.
As a matter of fact, you don’t need to be a billionaire or even a millionaire. I’m not saying that you can’t. There is a small percentage of individual entrepreneurs who are making that kind of income. But what would just $750,000 or $500,000 or even $100,000 a year do for you, your family and your future? What would an additional $5,000 a month do for you and your family? Making $5,000 a month is totally doable. It does require hard work and perseverance, though.
8. 79% of Americans Shop Online
According to a 2017 study by Pew Research, nearly 8 in 10 Americans prefer to shop online.
The research reveals that nearly eight-in-ten (79%) of Americans are online shoppers:
- 79% have made an online purchase of any type,
- 51% have bought something using a cellphone and
- 15% have made purchases by following a link from social media sites.

Hey Kevon, Great article about making money in the online world today. There truly are so many people in the world and everyone can make money with a good enough plan and desire.
It’s all in the numbers and with social media available today it’s that much easier to reach folks.
It still requires hard work and persistence but anything worthwhile is worth the effort.
Thanks for sharing 🙂

You are so correct, Rob. The opportunities to make a real living on the internet is temendous. But as you said, it requires hard work and consistency and a desire that is bigger than yourself. So in a nutshel, the best ways to make money online is really all about planning and working hard.
Thanks for sharing and commenting.
Cheers
Kevon
Like you say. The bad news is you’re not going to make sales from all these net users. The good news is you definitely can make sales to a very tiny percentage of these internet users and make a great living online.
Your graphic showing that Facebook users outnumbered the populations of the US and China combined just blew my mind. Your post is very inspiring to me. The vid with the young business man was really good too.
THanks for you kind sentiments Jason. And you are spot on when you said that you can make a real living from selling to just a tiny percentage of internet users. And in fact, there are hundreds of thousands of people who are doing just that.
The data on Facebook also blew my mind that’s why I had to share it. Most people know that there are a lot of FB users. But it only hits home when you do a comparison like that.
I wish you every success on your journey. And feel free to reach out to me if you ever need any help or advice for your online business.
Cheers
Kevon

Hi Kevon,
After reading your article, I have realized that there’s a great potential in online marketing. I think I have to find something and do. Thanks for sharing such a detailed analysis.
Thanks for your comments Derrick
Hi!
I didn’t really think about the potential of internet business until you show us the statistics and numbers. Wow, I am truly shocked.
Looks like social media (Facebook) plays a big role if we want to succeed in online business. I don’t have a facebook account, and I am thinking about creating one, but how does it help me with my website? If I share my products/posts on Facebook, will anyone see it?, even I don’t have any friends on Facebook?
Thanks
Thanks for your comment Kai.
You have a very valid question. Sharing your posts on Facebook is a start. Join Facebook Groups related to your niche and share your posts there as well. Direct them to your FB page. Also you can integrate FB with your other marketing activities such as email and paid ads.
Great Post Kevon. Spot on with the figures. Mind blowing it is!! There is indeed so much potential marketing your wares on the internet.
Wishing you the best Kevon.
Thanks Rudolph for visiting and for your kind comments. Yes, the Internet’s potential to create wealth is mindblowing indeed.
All the best to you too

Outstanding laydown. Very compelling case to make the move to the internet. It’s almost foolish not to, especially if you are willing to carve out the time and put in the effort. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your comment Skip. I totally agree with you. The internet is so huge that almost everyone can carve out a space for themselves to earn extra income from this huge online business opportunity. The internet truly presents best ways to earn money.
Hi there Kevon, fine post here on the internet’s potential.
One guy up there is correct. At least someone in their right mind would take a look AND do something about it!
The world has changed. Thanks for the post.
Thanks Evan. Glad I can help you understand the potential of the internet to make money online.
Thanks for stopping by.
If I was to relocate, my next destination was to be Online Retail, Great destination. Thank you so much, was not aware of the vast power of the internet. Am trying my best to leverage Facebook but to no avail, think there is something I’m doing wrong. Your mathematical calculations made the whole concept simple to grasp.
Have bookmarked your website and will visit it frequently, your articles have a wealth of information
Thanks Ngonidzashe. The key with Facebbook is to optimize. Meaning, keep at it, keep testing until you see success. The numbers don’t lie.
Kevon your site looks really great, and you’ve done an incredible job of selling the concept. The part where you show all the “numbers” is impressive! Good luck to you…..but I know you’ll be a success…..thanks.
Thanks Terry. I really appreciate your kind words. As someone with a background as an Analyst I believe in the purity of numbers. They don’t lie.
