How to Make Money Online

You Can Also Make Money Online from Affiliate Marketing – But You Have to Take Right Steps

March 14, 2010 – 7:45 am

Guest Post by Stephen Phillips

You can easily make money using the internet. There are various useful methods which will help you to make reasonable money online. You can take online surveys, turn a blog in to a cash machine or sell other’s products (affiliate marketing) thus making huge commission. There are other methods as well but affiliate marketing is considered as one of the most trusted ways to make money from the internet.

Why Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is all about selling the products online and getting commission on each such sale. If you are good in marketing, you will be able to make a lot of money from the affiliate marketing. You will need to setup a website, although you can use free blogs also. Three best things about Affiliate Marketing are:

1. You don’t need to have a product of your own.
2. You need not to worry about technical support and customer complaints. Product owner is only one responsible for that.
3. You need not to spend money to start. You can start it for free.

3 Steps of Affiliate Marketing

1. Product Selection
In order to succeed in the affiliate marketing and making money online, you will need to select the proper product. A product that suits your marketing style and at the same time is in demand will surely give you a great start. If you want a head start then you should select a product which you know a lot about. This will allow you to market it even more effectively.

2. Landing Page Creation
You will also need a high quality landing page with a good sales letter on display. Remember that the sales letter and the landing page play an important role to increase the number of conversions. You should also make sure that you are building a list from your landing page as well. You can offer things like free eBooks etc in return for subscription. This will help you build a wonderful list for the future prospects.

3. Online Marketing
You should ideally market your products on all the fronts. You should use the paid advertisement and at the same time you should also try out the free methods. Some of the free methods are more beneficial than the paid advertisement. For example, you can create a product page on all the front runners in the social networks. This will help you to market your product directly and without any cost. It will also help you to develop brand recognition among various sectors of online society.

It is easy to make money online especially from the affiliate marketing but for this you will need two things i.e. hard work and smart work. It is a hard truth that most of the affiliate marketer fails because they don’t work in right direction. While hard work plays a role, the smart work enables you to take the lead. Smart work will save you a lot of time and effort and will also make sure that you are getting the maximum from your resources.

Building And Monetizing Communities

March 12, 2010 – 9:50 am

This article is guest posted by Mike Ndegwa.

When you seek advice from most Internet Marketers. They all have a common phrase: “Money is in the list”. What this means is that you build a blog, send traffic and capture visitors with an auto-responder and follow up with marketing emails to sell your products or other people’s products as an affiliate. This business model works but it limits your profits, read on to see how.

According to Seth Godin book Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us he argues that leadership is the best marketing tactic for any individual, organization, school, church, job seeker e.t.c.

By being a leader you automatically attract followers, hence creating a tribe where you are a king. For any group of people to trust you to lead them, they must see certain qualities in you.

One lie that has been told over the years is “you need to be an expert to be a leader”, “you need to be of a certain age to be a leader”, “you need to be of a certain academic background to be a leader” and the list goes on.

Here is the shocker: actually truth before your eyes:

President Obama is the Commander in Chief of US Forces or Marines and I doubt he had 8 years of military training and wen through the ranks.

As you can see: with leadership you can be placed in any rank irrespective of your area of expertise or any set prequalifications.

Lets get way back on track..

There is a leader who new myspace was a successful social network but went on to create his own which has proven to be a success, commonly called Facebook.

Another leader new there was Yahoo Search and MSN search (Bing) but wen on to put a local server in a garage or campus dormitory today is popularly known as Google.

Hope now you see. The Internet market is not saturated, it’s just lacking leaders. If you don’t take your leadership positions the spammers and time wasters are.Tribes are eagerly waiting for you to lead them.

While you are a leader, you need tools, Business model and Monetization strategy. These are the secrets of Supreme Marketers.

Tools

To build a tribe or online community you need tools.

A domain name
A community builder script

Online Business Model

There are various Internet business models that you can adopt:

Blogging – Carl Ocab is a leader in the blogging community, he has identified a niche and exercises his leadership on the same. For you to start a blog you need a blogging script like wordpress. which is available for auto install for most web hosting companies that support Fantastico or Simple Scripts.
Video Sharing Sites – Most people only know of youtube as the only free video sharing site. but there are a 1000 others out there. you can get a Youtube clone script to start your own community targeted to region or any other demographics. Small Is the New Big: focus on what the consumer wants, get local content for your college graduates, for recently wedded and have them share their videos on the world. focus on small communities and have the rest of the world wanting to join you.
Membership Site – Again you can create your own membership site using free scripts like wordpress and make your posts private such that only logged in members can view your posts.
Forums – With a number of scripts to choose from you can create your small forum and invite users to start contributing. At start you might need to be active by creating over 100 topics that will provoke response and watch your community grow.
Dating Website – There are many singles out there imagine making a site like singlesinyourcity.com and do an element of offline marketing where you orgarnize events and activities for your online communities to participate in.
Auction website – Again there is so much business in the local market. Don’t get angry at ebay if they have not started an auction targeting your country. You can take this as an opportunity and start one for your local community or region.
Social Bookmarking Site – With the increase of open source almost in every internet business category, today you can have your own bookmarking site in minutes. Every Marketer is looking for “do follow” back-links. Standard.co.ke is such a site made with pligg – I saw it on their footer. Your community will be excited with such a site because it’s easy to make it on the front-page of your Bookmarking site easily.

The hundreds of online opportunities out there, you don’t have to re-invent the wheel, just find a way of doing it differently by filling the gap. You don’t have to know html or complex programming languages. All you need to understand is the online business method and then you can outsource from experts with the least possible expense.

Monetization Strategies:

There numerous monetization strategies and each work to give results depending on various demographics:

Google Adsense - It’s the most popular monetization strategy out there. However, it can minimal earnings depending on the value of your community. For example, if you search the word “credit cards” on google.co.uk and the same keyphrase on google.sc .sc stands for Seychelles – Tiny islands in the Indian Ocean. You’ll see that under Google Uk there lots of sponsored links – meaning there are lots of advertisers bidding for the keyphrase hence they pay more whereas on Google Sc there is only one sponsored link meaning there is only one advertiser targeting that country with the key phrase “credit cards”. What does this mean to an internet Marketer or infopreneur? If you own an adsense monetizing website, you would earn more per click from UK traffic as Opposed to a click from a visitor in Seychelles. It’s up to you to identify the value of your target market and see if Adsense is the best monetization method. Here are some illustrative screen shots. Google Uk and Google Sc.
Banner Placement – Once you community website proofs to vave some good ranking on Alexa, then selling banner placements cannot be a problem. Once your advertisers start to get results they will become repeat customers and eventually their competitors will want to pay more so as to be considered for a premium placement and of course these competition wars translate to more money for you and more improvement on your community.
Affiliate/ CPA Marketing - You can identify revenue sharing websites that pay you per sale or per action. If you have a technology forum then placing tech products from amazon or antivurus and antispyware offers would be relevant to your community and definitely will earn you money. This can be very lucrative business model especially if you know how to do it right e.g. by offering bonuses and extensive product reviews. You can combine other strategies to this monetization model.
Premium Membership or Content – Once your community is able to interact freely there are certain sections that you can limit to paid members or subscribers. This will earn you a monthly passive income that you can use a budget to keep on improving your community and your premium offerings.
Combination of the Above Strategies- It’s not cast with stone that you should stick to a single of the above strategies you can combine two or more. Keep on experimenting until you get the right one. Once you set up a community you can as well build another and another.

What Does It Take To Start A Passive Online Income Stream?

March 12, 2010 – 7:25 am

Guest Post by Soli Katir

The internet is big! There’s no debating that! It started out as the information superhighway. Now it is becoming the place to go to check to for deals. It is also the place to go when you are trying to save money.

So, how can you take advantage of all this business that is conducted on the world wide web? If you set things up properly, you will be rewarded with a passive online income stream for years to come. This is the ideal form of income. Who doesn’t dream of getting paid for sleeping? Or getting paid while you’re on your vacation and you’ve been gone for 3 months? That is the life! Well, for me. I don’t know if you feel the same way. Some people are workaholics and cannot be away from their work. But, to each their own.

Companies are reporting that with each year, their online revenues are increasing. They love it. Online marketplaces cut down on overhead tremendously. There is no need for a big office building with fancy lights and such. All that’s needed for them is a big warehouse, an internet site, and someone to handle the orders as they come in.

Settings Things Up
This is the hardest part. You will need to set time aside to learn how the internet works and you will need to know a little about marketing as well as what people are searching for. This is key for this will determine what will be successful for you.

Once you have the basic information, you can either use free sites or set up your own. Then you build it so that it is attractive and so it offers useful information, the info that the searcher is looking for. Then you add in offers that will suit your audience, offers for which you are an affiliate. Then you work on sending traffic to your site. And that is it!

This is exactly how some people have broken out of the rat race and gained their financial freedom through the world wide web.

Selling Online
They have created their own little storefront and are selling products that other people need at lower prices than the local physical stores. Some people harness the power of eBay to build their online store.

Affiliate
Others don’t want to have to worry about shipping or dealing with customers, so they sign up as affiliates to eBay and other businesses. For these people, every time they send an interested party to eBay or whatever, they get credited the sale and make a commission.

Freelance
Yet others will offer their services through the internet community through sites like Guru.com and Elance.com.

Why You Should Write An eBook

March 11, 2010 – 7:20 pm

Don’t be fooled when you hear someone say that everything that has been said has already been written, their idiots. New things and new ways of doing old things will forever keep that from ever happening. So don’t let someone spouting off about things they don’t know about influence your choices.

It’s the perfect time to write an ebook.

If you can explain something in a new way you could be making life easier for people, but only if you put what’s in your head into an ebook and then get it out there.

Ebooks aren’t new but they are certainly a powerful tool for earning money online because so many people are looking for ‘how to’ ebooks that will help them solve a problem.

I have hobbies that I have been enjoying for many years but there are people stepping into these hobbies and would love to have a great little ebook that will help them enjoy their new hobby to the fullest. So I write ebooks specifically for these people.

If you think publishing is going to be a problem don’t let it stop you because their is no issue with publishing when you go digital, as ebooks are.

All you need is a good idea and the know how to share with people.

I have a few friends that have published physical books and they all had a nightmare of a time and costs that made them just want to give up. Not one of them were satisfied with the results either. Now they are digital and pretty much just give the finger to publishers.

So have an Internet business already started. You have some great content going on. You even have a great product. Well then an ebooks it about the best tool going for promoting your business and product. You can even give away your ebook and have it go viral if you make it good. Then you just make sure you add your links to your site and product.

I have been fishing a variety of species and methods for the past 30 some years and have more knowledge than I know what to do with. That works great for me and of course for my fishing blog readers as most of them are new to fishing. What a great opportunity to write and ebook and make some more money.

Instead of writing one general fishing ebook I write numerous ebooks about fishing and focus on particular species for each ebook.

Dry Fly Fishing Trout Streams
Fishing Nymphs For Big Trout

Those are just a couple of examples but quickly you will realize that there are so many opportunities for writing ebooks.

Ebooks help me promote my businesses by getting my name out there and branding myself as an expert in what ever area I wrote the ebook about.

I was a computer instructor for 20 years and could write ebooks about Windows based software until the cows come home. However I don’t because I get much more enjoyment writing about fishing or gardening these days. That’s why I retired.

It’s easy to write an ebook and it doesn’t have to take a lot of time. You don’t need fillers so that you have more pages. People are still willing to pay for fewer pages as long as the info in good. I know I am.

4 Steps to Make Money Online Without Spending a Dime?

March 11, 2010 – 7:15 am

Guest Post by Jason Mathews

Many people are skeptical when it comes to make money online. They think that there should a huge investment to make money. But in case of online money making that’s not true. You can make a lot of money without spending a dime and I will give you the step by step instruction on how to do that.

Step 1
Picking Up The Product

Join an affiliate program. If you are a beginner clickbank will be a good option. Pick a product to promote that gives you more than $20 per sale with a gravity 30-150. Go to google keyword tool and search the product name. It must have some search volume or if the products are new the niche should have a good search volume.

Step 2
Keyword Research

Keyword research is the most important step here. If you fail here, your entire strategy will fail. Don’t panic, I will show you exactly how to pick winning keywords every time. Here’s what all you should look for a keyword

1. The keyword should have more than 1000 searches on exact match types in Google keyword tool

2. The competing pages for the keyword should be below 30,000. To find the competition go to google and type your keyword in quotes. For example if your keyword is strength training system, search it with quotes, “strength training system” and if the result google gives is less than 30,000 it is not much competitive.

3. Next we have to look at the strength of the top 10 pages on google for the keyword without quotes. This is a crucial step that most newbie internet marketers ignore. If the top ten pages are with authority sites and wikipedia or about.com and if they have optimized for the keyword, ignore it and search for another keyword. If the top ten pages contain ezine articles, web 2.0’s like hubpages and squidoo, then go on to the next step.

4. The final step is to analyze the baclinks of the top ten pages. For that go to Yahoo Site Explorer and enter the url of the top pages. As a general guide line average backlinks should be about 100 and there should be pages ranking in top ten with less than 50 backlinks.

If your keywords meet all these four requirements, then you have picked up a winning keyword that can be ranked in the first page of google without much difficulty.

Step 3
Creating The Content

1. Next you have to write a 300-500 words article with the keyword in the title. Also include the keyword in the first sentence, middle and towards the end of the article. Also do not forget to include the url to the products you are promoting in the article!

2. Three places I highly recommend to submit the articles are hubpages, squidoo and articlebase. Google loves these sites and they have a great authority in the eyes of google. So it is very easy to achieve rankings fast. And most importantly for a beginner, these are absolutely free! So submit the article to any one of these sites linking back to your product.

Step 4
Building Backlinks

Building backlinks are the key to top rankings and also the most difficult task. Even some of the articles you created using the above methods can rank highly without any backlinks but some needs quality backlinks to boost the rankings. So here are the methods that I used to build backlinks without much difficulty.

1. Forum Posts - Finding a forum with high pagerank in your niche will be a difficult task at first, but after finding things become easy. All you need is to put the article url in the forum signature with anchor text as your keyword. After that participate in the forum giving relevant posts. Also read the forum rules. Some forums need you to make 10 or 15 posts before including links.

2. Blog Commenting - Search google for “do follow blogs” or “do follow blog directories” and you will end up with a lot of blogs which allows do follow comments, which means that you will get the link juice. Post comment on these blogs with the keyword in the place of name and the article url in the place of website. After the comment approval you will get a valuable backlink

3. Answers - Post relevant answers to the below sites with a link back to your article. Some of my favorites are -

* Yahoo Answers (no follow, but high authority in the eyes of google)
* Yedda.com
* Blurtit.com
* Unasked.com
* Answerbag.com

Do not spam these sites. Contribute to the community or else they will make the links do follow and you will lose your valuable backlinks.

4. Articles Submission - These are my least favourite (I’m lazy to write 400 word articles for backlinks) and I will only use them if the sites are not getting top rankings. Some sites I submit the articles are -

* Ezine Articles (You can also use this for your main article, but the disadvantage is that it tooks a long time to approve the articles, about 5-7 days and ezines will only allows one link in the article body, but articlebase allows 3 links in article body and approves within 48 hours)

* Buzzle
* Go Articles

If you complete all these steps, you can achieve a top google ranking and will get lots of traffic and sales without spending a dime on advertising.

For those of you that want to make money online using your blogging site or website that talks about the latest products, or you might have a music or movie review blog then a great affiliate program to join up to is Amazon Associates.

Amazon Biggest Online Retailer

If you are new to buying goods online, Amazon is one of the biggest or should I say probable the biggest online retail store in the world selling almost any products you may be looking for ranging from DVDs, music CDs and MP3s, computer software, video games, electronics, apparel, furniture, food, toys. What they are truly known for is selling books which made them big from the start.

Amazon Affiliate Program

A few years back Amazon decided to start their own Affiliate program which was called Amazon Associates which allows anyone with a well established website or blog to join their affiliate program and having access to the Amazon’s database of thousands of products to promote and sell.

How Amazon Associates Works

Like any affiliates program you would need to signup to Amazon Associates and once signed up you will have access to links and banners, Amazon Widgets which can be integrated into your site or blog and a very useful aStore feature which is a self-contained online store embedded directly within your web pages.

The great thing is that you can customize your Widgets, links and banners to fit into the theme of your site or blog and can choose the products you want to sell on your site. Once people start buying you can earn up to 15 percent in referrals by advertising Amazon products off of your site or blog.

If you are currently using Google Adsense to make some extra money online, you can use Amazon Associates to complement your Google Adsense and will have two money revenue streams been generated from your blogging site.

Amazon Associates have some really cool widgets that rotate various products that you may want to offer and you can include the widget into your blog side columns. Links and banners you can insert into blog posts.

All the best to you in your endeavors to making money online

How to Sell Expensive Items on eBay

March 10, 2010 – 7:05 am

Guest Post by Shane

Whether you sell expensive items on eBay or low cost merchandise, how you market the item is what ultimately determines the success or failure your listings may have.

This does not mean you should start placing ads all over the internet; you want to keep your marketing at the eBay website. The truth of the matter is that whenever you list an item on eBay, that auction actually becomes your automated marketing campaign.

Determining the value of your item should be your top priority and this is done in three different ways. Following this step will help you in deciding what your reserve price is going to be. (This being the lowest amount you’re willing to accept for your item on eBay) You first have to find out what the real market value is for that expensive item you have. You do this by researching similar items that have already ended and seeing what those items sold for. Lastly, you need to figure out what the real value of the item is to you. Once you have all this information it should be easy to determine and establish what the lowest amount that you would be willing to sell the item for is.

Now you will set your reserve price while setting your opening bid as well. The opening bid should be no greater than $50 no matter how high you set your reserve. In essence you are using a great marketing tactic where you will offer an item worth thousands of dollars at a low starting bid of $50 or less. This will guaranteed that you attract and bring in many potential buyers looking to steal a deal. The catch is that since you have your reserve price in place, you won’t have to sell your item unless the final bid matches or surpasses that amount. All the while, you are using a marketing gimmick designed to simply get customers to ’set their foot in the door’.

Providing as many details as possible when describing your item is also very important. Choose your words carefully when describing your listing. If you provide as many details as possible - including information that proves the authenticity of your item – will sure to go a long way in attracting potential customers.

However, be sure to include any scratches or marks the item may have. The pictures you take should convey this fact to the buyer. Let the buyers know how much it will be for shipping and insurance, which must be purchased in case the item gets lost or damaged once you ship it.

Most eBay sellers feel better using an escrow service for higher priced items. You can offer this option to the seller explaining to him or her that one, the buyer must pay for the service and two, this helps protect the both of you from scams or fraud. There is an escrow serviced which eBay has partnered with especially used for high priced ticket items.

Your Complete Online Marketing Plan – This Is Valuable

March 9, 2010 – 9:25 pm

Guest Post by Paul

I wanted to write an article that covered the high level concepts behind a long term internet marketing plan (1 year+) so that you can see into the future and understand the income potential that can be earned from consistent and intelligent action.

I am an online marketer that believes in creating sustained, long-term and secure growth just like any offline business. It’s not a get rich quick scheme but it’s an absolute proven model that I always advise my subscribers to pay attention to. There are many top internet marketers (I’m actually at a conference with one as I write this) who follow this exact model – so this article can be worth gold if you follow it to the letter.

Here’s where you start:

First of all, let’s take a long term view of this. Many businesses evolve over time, each step is taken one at a time. So you need to think of an area in which there is ample room for growth. Here is your growth path:-

1) Affiliate marketing
2) Product creation
3) Membership sites or recurring monthly incomes

For those of you who are new to the industry I’ll translate. Firstly, you sell other people’s products. Then when you’re ready and consider yourself an expert in your niche then you create a product. Finally, and the most powerful of all, you need to set up a membership site and start trying to create a recurring income out of your subscribers.

This strategy is hugely powerful and it’s a long term approach – something that is going to bring an income that has longevity.

Choose Your Niche

With the three steps that I have just mentioned in your mind you are now in prime position to choose your niche. Remember, in the long term you want to create a recurring income through a membership site – this means you need to choose a niche that you can see yourself being a voice of authority in. Take my advice and choose something you’re interested in.

Build Your List

Building your list sounds really hard but actually it’s pretty easy. You need to create what’s called a squeeze page – a squeeze page is a simple page that is designed to capture the names and email addresses of those people who visit your site.

This is a must. Build your subscriber list.

Not sure how to? Don’t worry – it’s easy. Like I said at the start of this article – I am talking concepts, not technicalities because technicalities are always easy to overcome, so we’ll go into how later.

Build A Relationship With Your Subscribers

People who know and trust you will be more inclined to buy from your web sites. FACT. You need to provide your subscribers with relevant and useful information that provides real value. This means no sales pitches for the first few weeks at least. You’re an expert in the field (even if you’re not, you should have done your research so that you’re more educated than the average person) and so you should be able to provide your subscribers with real value.

Only Then Do You Monetise Your List…

Once you’ve built a relationship with your list you can pitch your first product. The product must be excellent and it must genuinely help your subscribers by solving a problem.

Not sure what products are good and what are bad? Email the product vendor and ask for a review copy – he’ll usually be more than happy to send you the review copy as long as you can demonstrate your expertise in internet marketing (they’d be mad not to – you’ll be driving sales for them!).

At This Point You Start Looking At Product Creation

Once you really feel like you can add some value of your own to the niche that you’re in, you can start looking at creating products of your own. The powerful thing about product creation is that you can attract an army of affiliates to do the sales for you – this creates a snowball effect and is where you can start to make some really good money without doing a whole lot of work.

Finally, recurring income time…

Your final step – and by this stage you should already be earning a good amount online – you need to create a recurring income. This is where you start looking into building your own membership site.

It’s a heck of a lot of work, and so you may want to outsource some of your work, but once you can populate a membership site to a level that provides real value to your subscribers then you can start using your list to promote it.

If you can get 20 membership site sales per month every month then your recurring income can grow at $400 / month (assuming your membership site costs $20/month to join).

Furthermore, you’d then build an army of affiliates to drive traffic to your membership site and take home 50% of the income of those sales too.

This Is The Only Strategy You Need To Follow

Save your money – you don’t need to buy any more information products about online marketing because this is the high level strategy that you need to follow to create a long-term, profitable and secure online business.

Cancelled My Article Network/My Article Network Membership !!

March 9, 2010 – 7:00 pm

: Image by dave_apple via Flickr

Well I gave Article Automation Marketing through My Article Network for a month and in my opinion they just plain suck.

Rejected 94% of Articles

When I paid for my membership with Article Marketing Automation through My Article Network I had expectations and they were not met.

I expected articles to be relevant to the categories but they percentage of quality articles is very low.
I expect articles to be written in acceptable english but many articles just can’t be used because of poor english skills.
I expected the links in the articles to be related to the content but that was seldom true. Way too many spammers writing almost acceptable articles but then they stick in links that have nothing to do with the category or niche the article was posted in. Just spamming.
So many articles are rewritten using combinations of words that no one in their right mind would think was written by a human.
I expected to save time by using these articles but by the time I am done I am so stressed about all the crap and the time it takes to look at the articles and check the links that I am not really saving much time.
I expect a number of articles to be NOT acceptable but I do expect them to be in the niche they posted them in. I commend the writers for trying but can’t use them as they aren’t good enough. I am sure with time those authors will get better.
I expect my readers to enjoy the articles but instead I have seen my number of readers drop and even had a few comments pointing out how the quality of my site has dropped.
I reject articles in a niche but they keep coming back so I have to reject them all over again, day after day.
I accept an article and post it on a blog but then that same exact article reappears, so it’s very easy to accidentally get the same article posted on the same blog if I didn’t check phrases to see if I had already posted them.

The Support is Virtually Non-Existent

When you have a fly fishing niche and get articles linked to sites about stuttering, what’s up with that? Every other article is like that. I look for gardening articles only to find links to real estate or plumbing. Way too frustrating but it wouldn’t be like that if the support system and feedback system was working.

I leave feedback expressing how disappointed I am with them but obviously no one is there to read them.

I tried their support system and waited for ever and a day to get a response. Once they did respond they apologized for not responding early but they didn’t even address my issues.

Time is Money

I have to spend way too much time scanning and rejecting articles which takes up too much time, time I should be doing other things.

They Have A Blog That Never Gets Updated

I checked the blog on both sites, Article Marketing Automation and My Article Network, and they have not been updated in months, so they were no help either. Just seems like it was left on auto pilot and is going down the crapper.

Disappointed In Results

I wrote a few articles to add to the network, without spamming people by the way, but in the month I was there I was only able to find one article, yet my articles were published 108 times in that period. The site it was listed on of course has zero page rank so a lot of good that will do me.

Now I am out looking for a place to get good articles that aren’t full of spam and poor English.
