Getting snowed in on a Monday

I woke up early today, and was about to change into my work clothes. Then, my mind started to debate with me whether I should call in to take the day off, and I gave in. I'll call in later, assuming most people will stay home today anyway. I went downstairs around 6am, openned up my laptop and began searching the internet. Over the last few days I've been browsing the john chow website. This guy is teaching other to make money online. I question how he can make any money online without any products to sell. He updates his blog site very regularly, almost everyday for the past few weeks. New jibberish such as internet marketing, affiliate, seo, ppc, etc... were all very new to me, until recently my curiousity was taking me to all these related making money websites. Is it possible? These guys claimed they've been making $20000 to $40000 a month, some even stated making six figures income per year. I wanted to find out if all the fusses are in fact truth as they claimed. I began to think if I could make this kind of money, I would have more time to pursue my passion. I could travel to places I've only dream about because of the limited time. Passion, freedom, time are all the necessary ingredients for success.
