New Poll: Why Do You Want To Make Money Online?

I’m finally able to share with you the poll results from our last poll, “What Do You Buy The Most Online?”

And, as you can see from the chart, according to JMMO readers, Electronics or Gadgets (phones, computers, etc) come first (22% of votes). Then, Books and Magazines come next (15%). Followed by Fashion Items (clothes, shoes, accessories, bags) (11%).

Then, there’s a tie between Digital Information Materials (ebooks, reports, etc) and Pornographic Material*, both receiving 10% of votes each.

Games* received 9% and there was also a 1% vote for Online Gaming Subscriptions*.

The next one that people buy online the most are Children’s Items (baby stuff, toys, etc) (7%), followed by Home and Garden (appliances, accessories, etc) (6%).

Then, there’s Art and Crafts (raw materials or products) (4%), Site Memberships or Subscriptions (3%), and Services (workshops, consultancies, etc) (2%).

Knowing where people like to spend money is a good way to study the online market. As online entrepreneurs, we might consider some of these options as possible business ventures.

By the way, there were 115 votes collected in this poll. Thanks again to all of you who voted!

New Poll: What kinds of things do you buy the most online?

Well, hello everyone. I know it has been a while since I updated this blog. I’ve been away on holiday overseas and just took a while to get back on track with work and stuff. In any case, I thought as a welcome back gift, I’d share with you the results from our last poll, where we asked how much money everyone made online in 2009. So, here you go —

As you can see, the unfortunate result is that 44% of JMMO readers and visitors haven’t made any money online at all. And, I really wonder why. There are so many avenues to create some extra income online and most of them really doable.

Anyway, on the flip side, it’s good to know that 56% of JMMO readers and visitors have managed to make some money on the web. Sure, the range is huge – between $1-10 (10%) and “More than $10,000″ (11%). But, hopefully, this encourages the 44% who haven’t had the opportunity to make some extra cash in 2009.

Between those two extremes, the next highest percentage that made money online is in the range of $1,000-$5,000 (8%). Now, I believe that this is a good indication of the possible extra income that an average person can make online, given the right online venture and the right effort. I know that’s not a lot. But, unless you find the right online business and you give it almost a full time job attention/effort, then it can be tougher to go higher than that. But, with a part-time effort and a good online venture, adding $1,001-$5,000 to your income can be a real bonus, right? That’s why with the help of JMMO, I’m hoping that more of you can get to this level – AT LEAST. Hopefully, more.

In any case, here are the rest of the income reported here in our last poll -

• $11 – 50 (5%)
• $51 – 100 (6%)
• $101 – 200 (5%)
• $200 – 500 (5%)
• $501 – 1000 (3%)
• $5001 – 10,000 (3%)

Thanks to all the 743 poll voters. I really appreciate your input!

I’ll be sharing our first 2010 poll shortly.

New Poll: How much money have you made online in 2009 so far (in US$)?

When we asked: What’s your biggest concern about making money online? a few months ago, JMMO readers and vistors shared their thoughts on the subject. And, it looks like the leading concern is: Too many scams, with 52% of all votes. It’s the single most alarming thing for many people who try to make money online.

Reader BigManta said: “It’s no surprising to see that “Too Many Scams” is toward the top of the list. The “Make Money Online” industry is pretty shady compared to most other topics – and so many people have been duped, swindled, or cheated. This is one of the reasons that I believe the good, honest, guys reap a lot of the benefits because they’re upfront and have a long-term outlook.”

Another reader, Gordon Wilson, said: “I’m not surprised to see “too many scams” leading in the polls. There are some bad apples in the barrel. However, I think a lot of LEGIT options get branded as scams because the people who try them just don’t do things right or follow through. When they don’t wake up the next morning in a mansion, they start griping all over the place about how “so and so” is a scammer. There are good ways to make serious money out there. So, if you’re one of the folks who ranked “scams” #1 on your list, don’t give up!”"

Good thoughts! Thanks, guys.

The next big concern, it seems, for JMMO readers is: Not sure what kind of online business to try, with 18% of voters who are unsure about the right path to take.

Then, there are those who think that not making enough money is a major issue (14%).

And, for some folks, they think that it’s too much hard work (6% of all votes). And, there are those who may have a few concerns – but they’re already making some money online (4% of all votes).

The other concerns have an equal amount of votes: Not enough time to start an online venture (3%) and Other (please leave a comment) (3%).

Those who might be interested with the total votes, this poll received 380 votes.

Here are other interesting comments from readers and visitors:

Leigh said: “I don’t really see any of those as a concern. Scams are easy to avoid with a little bit of research. The others are just the reality of the situation and you just need to pick something and get on with it.”

Denise said: “The time investment is one of the biggest concerns that I see with most people. But if they are willing to take the time and put in the effort, it really is as hard as working a regular job.”

Popintervention said: “My answer is other. It’s the technological learning curve that’s messing me up. Also the internet learning curve period. For example, I just spent a night trying to figure out what the heck twitter even is. Still don’t get it.”

Vern said:

“Personally I think that most people are going to answer – they don’t know what kind of online business to start. There are a lot of ‘gurus’ telling them what to do… and it’s all different. They’re swimming in ideas… but which one to choose? It’s a risk to choose one because there is probably a limited amount of time and $ to allocate toward whatever project one takes on.

For myself, my biggest concern about making money online is that states are trying to tax the income we make as affiliates. It happened in Hawaii (where my Aim for Awesome, Inc. business is based) and two other states already.

If that trend continues it’s going to be a sad state of affairs for affiliate programs nationwide (USA).

Other than that Shai, I’m concerned about finding good help. Experts that can help me on projects I’m doing – and that I can trust. Quite hard to find people I trust. I’m thinking that FaceBook is going to be the answer to this. I’m considering adding not just true friends to my group of FB contacts, but other contacts – visitors at my websites… etc. Thinking that – by growing my base of ‘friends’ I’m going to eventually find everyone I need for my online projects.”

And finally, Stefan said:

“I’m already making money so I’m not sure if this post affect me, but one of the most difficult thing was to get friends and relatives to understand that it actually was possible to make money online. It’s a difficult time where there’s few people having faith in your work. Thank to the internet it’s possible to come in contact with people who’ve got the same problem and together we pushed each other.”

Do share if you’ve got any other thoughts on the subject! Thanks again to everyone who voted and shared comments.
