Newbies Making Money Online.
Oct/090
Now more than ever, new people are coming on the internet and tring to have a dabble of making money online. From what these individuals have heard they simply have to signup to an affiliate program, submit a few articles and then watch the cheques come rolling in.
What makes me laugh is, these new individuals actually believe thats all that is needed, well this could not be further from the truth.
You have two types of making money online people. First you have the individual who reads a salespage, buys the making money online product, finds out it needs too much effort to succeed and asks for a refund. The individual then repeats this until he/she quits buying more products or the payment processor bans them. This type of individual will more than likely never succeed online.
The second type of person will do his/her research, read everything there is to know about making money online and buy one or two products for a bit of variety. This person will then read all the materials provided by the program owner and take action after each module. This individual will be dedicated to making sure that whatever program he/she joins will make them money.
If it takes 6 months to establish your new business, it does not matter, as the program you have joined is a respectable provider within the market that has been researched as the program is proven to work.
You tell me out of the two types of making money online people i have mentioned above, which one are you. Yes it will be hard to admit to yourself that you might be the first one.
I was once the first mentioned person but people can change. Once you finally realise that you will have to work your butt off, hours on end to learn the information and the steps you have to take to take action on this information, you will find yourself in a different world.
Making money online takes alot of time and effort, especially if you dont have much experince and a small budget to start with. There are alot of people that are willing to help such as me, but i cannot help you unless you ask me. You need to help me help you.
If you dont know where you want to go online or you have no idea of how its possible to be making alot of money online then you need someone who has the experience to give you guidence.
If you want to be making your money online and you go it alone, it would be like walking into a dark room with many walls. You need to find the door at the other end but you cannot see and you keep bumping your head into the walls. WELL, what if you had someone to hold your hand, someone who knew the way through the dark room and could take you straight to the door at the other end. It would make it alot easier on you wouldnt it.
The story above is the same for making money online. If you go it alone, your gonna get burned by the pros who stalk and scam newbies by the thousand. You need to know the correct path to take so you dont dissapoint yourself and end up losing hundreds of hard earned dollars.
I like to help individuals because i was once in the position and i had to learn the hard way. I have lost thousands of dollars on pipeline dreams and learned from my mistakes. I have also made thousands of dollars online but only when i follow every step that is required to design, build and develop a successful product that will convert into solid sales and provide me with a long term income.
You too can create your own products and have thousands of affiliates advertising your website with no initial outlay. I have the knowledge to make this happen and you dont need tons on money to do this type of product creation.
As i have stated, you can ask any questions from the tab above and i never ask for any payments for my information as i want to help you succeed and have the life that i have as i know you dream of making money online each and everyday, especially when you have to go to work and take oders from the boss whos a complete arsehole.
I wish you the very best of success online and if you need a helping hand just let me know, im only an email away.
Making Money Online In A New Niche.
Oct/090
I hear alot of stories from people wanting to make money online and the majority tell me that there so frustrated with the amount of useless information that they recieve, in which the individual paid alot of money for.
What these people dont realise is, the person who sold them this useless information probably made that product and website from nothing. If you learn how to build, design and develop yourself in your spare time, you too can be the one providing people with valuable information as you have experience of what people want.
Why does everyone try to make money within the make money niche when there are so many other niches and micro niches that are waiting to be plucked. You would have more chance making money from a smaller niche with little competition, you just have to establish yourself as an expert.
Try looking at your hobby, see if there is a good niche within that as it would be alot easier to establish yourself within that niche due to the amount of information you already know about it as well as you having the passion for the hobby.
Find where people who are interested in this hobby hangout, such as dedicated forums, social networks and message boards that are related to your hobby. This is a great place to start as people will be actively searching for items and services within that niche.
To find out if you have got a niche, you need to ask yourself the following question. “What issues do people have within this Hobby” and then “What Information or product could Cure this issue”. If you can answer the two questions then you have a niche. You will also need to find out if many people are having the same problem so you have a good market.
To find out what issues you can solve for people is easy, just join the forums and social networks and post a few threads asking members what are the biggest issues that people face when entering or progressing with the hobby you have chosen. If you start to see a trend in the answers then more than likely you can come up with the most popular issue and then work to create a solution.
This is a very simple process and anyone can do this, if you struggle to start this then ask me a question from the navigation bar above and i will make a post regarding your issues.
The tools available for free on the internet will allow you to design, develop and host your new product, so you have no excuse and you can start doing this today.
The biggest problem with people making money online is nobody is willing to take action. How can you make money online if you dont take action. The majority of people who do take action probably dont do it effectively and waste time and efforts.
Reading the small print of free services available and taking the free courses that websites offer can be the difference of success and failure.
When you write an article on ezinearticles.com, do you just signup for an account and write aload of crap to try and send visitors to your website. Or do you read all the terms and conditions of submission and take the free article writing course that ezine offer. I bet i can guess which route you took, that is why your articles will not provide results because you will rush your efforts and waste time in submitting crap articles.
Making Money With Free Information.
Sep/090
When people search the internet, first of all it is to find information on something of interest, it is not to buy something straight away. Yes, if your good, the visitor who finds your website from a good keyword may buy something by the time the visitor has read the page, but it is very unlikely unless the visitor is determined to buy instantly.
If you can provide your visitor with free information, reviews and resources then the visitor will become to trust you if you can relate to them. You must provide information that gives a clear understanding, not some mumbo jumbo that sounds like your sole intention is to make as much money as possible in the shortest amount of time.
Give your visitor easy access to bookmark your website or page for future reference as if they wish to return and buy, its easier to find you. Try and get their email address so you can follow up with more free information and then let them know that a recent product or service you have just reviewed maybe the exact item their looking for.
Always provide UNIQUE information, dont copy your content off the free article sites and just put it on your site. If your stook for something to say, just read an existing article and re write it in your own words. This will give the search engines something fresh to add to their content pool and will provide you with better rankings for your keywords and will get you more traffic.
You can make alot of money from a blog that provides free information and reviews as people spend alot of time reading other peoples opinions, especially if the person trusts you and your opinion. Its worth is bandwidth in gold.
The best information you can provide is of something that you have had a personal on going experience with. A great example of this would be your hobby or favourite past time. My hobby is playing the guitar, so i could start a blog right now and provide free information about playing guitar, maintaining a guitar, buying a guitar, or teaching the guitar. The possibilities are endless, no matter what area of expertise you hold.
Not only that, but there are so many products and services that you can review or display on your website for any hobby that you provide free information about. If you have regular readers then your reviews of products and services related to your subject will be valuable to your reader. Just make sure you have tried the product or service yourself and give your honest, true opinion of what you think, good or bad, as your reader will thank you for this and become more loyal.
Think smart and make sure you know what your talking about or your money making efforts will soon dissolve. After all, providing free information can offer you a full time income and this is something that not many people can understand.

Affiliate Marketing with Clickbank and Adbrite.
Sep/095
Im going to let you in on one of my best secrets that has consistantly earned me a few hundred bucks every week by promoting Clickbank products on Adbrite.
You maybe familiar with clickbank and adbrite but if you have no idea then clickbank is one of the biggest companies that offers affiliates programs for digital products and adbrite is one of the great pay per click and pay per impression websites.
I also use google adwords for promoting affiliate products but if your just starting out then i would forget about adwords for the time been as it is a very complicated interface for affiliates and makes it nearly impossible to get on there.
Adbrite is alot more simple and you can get an advert on there within 48 hours.
To promote products on adbrite you will need a doorway page, or a landing page that explains what you have to offer with links on the page that direct users to your affiliate links.
Alot of advertisers on clickbank will offer their affiliates landing pages so all you would have to do is contact them to request one and then upload the files onto a domain name that you have specifically registered for that product.
You must do a few calculations first to make sure you dont pay too much for clicks on adbrite as there are many things to take into consideration.
Below i have listed a few things you should know before you start advertising:
1- How much does the product pay per sale and does this product offer commissions on future sales.
2- How well does the landing page or product convert.
3- What are the best keywords to target.
You can ask the product provider for this information and im sure thery will be willing to help.
Once you have the above you can work out how much you would be willing to spend per click.
Lets just say that the program has a $50 initial payout and the landing page converts targeted visitors into buyers at 2%. This would mean that for every 100 visitors you send to the landing page, 2 sales will be made, earning you $100. This means that your cost per click would have to be below $1 for you to make any profit.
If you only paid $0.50 per click then you would have made a profit of $50, if the product converted at 2%.
You can however increase your conversions by offering a free newsletter that provides free information on the subject and when a visitor signs up, their email address is entered into your auto responder. Aweber is the best service for this and is very easy to set up. Send the subscriber a 6 part email that offers free advise on the subject and on the 7th email, offer your product to them again(repeat process). Try to build up trust with the subscriber and try to pursuade them to believe that your product has the cure for their issue..
If the program offers commissions on future sales then you can adjust your pay per click accordingly as you will earn more from the product but not straight away so look into it.
When advertising your products you need to make sure which countries the product or service is available in and then list these countries within your adbrite account when you setup your advert.
99% of the products listed on clickbank will be available worldwide due to the electronic delivery of most items.
Always make sure that you add keywords within your adbrite account that are related to the products or services that you are promoting. You can find great keywords using the free wordtracker tool.
On adbrite you can also choose relevant categories which would allow you to target a specific market. Make sure that there are enough daily impressions within adbrites inventory for you add. If you choose certain categories, still add keywords to increase targeting.
I also tend to always use the text adverts and NOT banners as i have found out from experience that text adverts work the best so try and write compelling adverts that draw the visitors attention.
By reading this post you should be able to make a nice profit using clickbank and adbrite, if you have any questions, post a comment below.

Finding A Niche Market To Make Money From.
Aug/090
Many people that i have come across ask me how it is possible to find a niche market. Well niche markets are all around you, every where you look there is a niche some where.
If you are just starting out online and would like to find a niche to target then i would advise you to start with your personal hobby as you would be able to add more passion to your website, its content and to your visitors.
My personal hobby is playing the guitar, so i could setup a website that offers advise on how to start playing the guitar, i could show people how to play simple chords by recording myself on a camcorder and embedding the videos in a section on my website.
I dont currently have a website like this but as im writing this i feel very passionate about the idea and i want to do it, but i guess i should finish this post first. Ha ha ha.
You see, if you have a hobby that is within a buying market then you have a great niche to follow and can make a hell of alot of cash by doing so. Could you imagine making money doing something that you are passionate about. It sound good doesnt it.
Some people like going to the gym, riding bikes, training dogs, teaching younger children to be obedient, baking cakes, or hiking. Just imagine how many other people out there are passionate about these hobbies, just like you are passionate about your hobby.
When you choose your hobby as your target niche you should do a little research before hand to make sure that there are products or services available that are related to your hobby and an affiliate program is available for the products or services so you have ways to make money from it.
The niche you choose should be within a buying market. By this i mean you should know that people are buying products or services that are related to your hobby.
Check on amazon and ebay, if there are products and services listed on there that are related to your hobby then it is more likey that this is a buying market.
Article Marketing Tips.
Aug/090
Within this post i will give you a few pointers of how to effectively write an article that will send you targetted website traffic for years to come.
Article Marketing is one of the most effective free strategies that the internet has to offer as it provides you with as many lazer targeted visitors as you would like. The only hard thing about it is you have to write the article.
First off, you need the keywords that your article will be associated with. You can find popular keywords within your niche using the free wordtacker tool.
You must always remember that you cannot stuff keywords within your article and your article must be informative to the reader, have a good reading flow and not sound like your trying to sell something.
A good way of using your keywords would be to mix them up within a sentence, they dont necessarily have to be in the right order to become effective and this improves the reading of your article.
Your title must get straight to the point and give a sense of action. You must also include your main keyword within the title for higher rankings within the search engines. Dont just put your keyword as the title as this will get you poor rankings. The title needs to be unique.
Another important factor is your article summary. This is a few sentences that tells the reader what your article is about. Try to make this as attractive as possible as the reader will see this first within the article directory. The more effective your summary is, the more people will be inclined to read it.
The body of your article should be at least 350 words long and try to use your keyword around 4 to five times in the best place possible. Also mix up your keywords within a sentence either once or twice as well. I personally try to aim for at least 400 words as this is a nice chunk of information as well as been unique which the search engines love.
Dont write your sentences too long. Short and sweet always does it and your reader does not want very long sentences as this may distract the reader and the reader then moves on. You need to keep the reader interested, the reader needs to feel that if he/she does not read the whole thing then they may miss out on something.
Your resource box is one of the most important parts of article marketing. This is where you can insert a link back to your website that offers the reader with more information and resources on the subject that the reader is interested in.
You must write your resource in a way that sounds like its the article site thats reccommending you. For example:
Lets just say i have wrote an article on Website Traffic Generation and my name is John Steel. My resource box would say the following:
————————-
If you have found this article useful then you may want to visit (MYSITE.COM) that offers free traffic generation advise. John Steel has been generating traffic for over 5 years and has helped thousands of website owners increase their website traffic. Today its your turn, visit (MYSITE.COM) for more info.
————————–
You can also use anchor tags within your website that could form the part of a sentence with the links included. Your main keyword(s) could be the anchor tag which would improve your SEO on your main site that the anchor tag is linked to. Learn how to create Anchor Text HERE.
And thats about all you would need to know to get started. Get yourself over to EzineArticles now and start submitting articles to create more traffic to your website.
Tools To Create Traffic To A Website.
Aug/090
There are many tools across the internet that allow you to create traffic to a website so i will mention a few of my favourites within this post.
First off i will metion a few pieces of software that you can use to generate more traffic and to increase your exposure across the web.
1- The service offered by AddThis is a great place to start as all you would need to do is insert the code within your website and your existing visitors can bookmark and share your website with their friends who are members on the bookmarking services that addthis use such as digg, buzz, reddit, stumbleupon, myspace, facebook and many many more.
You can even bookmark your own website to expose your website to your friends. When you bookmarkyour site on sites such as digg, stumbleupon and buzz, your submission will be visible within the sites directory and the submission will also get listed within many search engines.
2- The Tell-a-friend script is also a very effective strategy that can also be implemented on your website. There is a free script available HERE that you can take a look at. If your visitor likes your website and wants to tell his/her friends then This script allows your visitors to email a few friends.
3- One of the greatest tools i have used so far would have to be the paid service offered by StumbleUpon. If your website gets approved then you can send targeted traffic to your website at a cost of only 5 cents per click. That is an absolute bargain and can be a great way to send a flood of traffic.
My advise to you is, dont blow your budget straight away. Spend around $5 per day that will send a steady amount each day.
The best thing about stumbleupons service is people can rate your site and the more people that see your site and give it a thumbs up, the more traffic you will recieve due to your site ranking higher within stumbles directory as well as the members sharing your site amongst friends. Even when you stop your campaign, you will still recieve visitors as long as you have a few thumbs up.
Above i have listed a few good tools to create traffic to your website so if you have enjoyed reading this post then leave a comment below.
If you have any other tools to create traffic to a website then list them within your comment.
Website Traffic Generation.
Aug/092
There are many ways that can help you with the generation of website traffic but if its the wrong type of traffic you could waste alot of time and effort.
Squidoo can generate free traffic to your website but you need to know a few things before this can happen.
The URL or address of your squidoo lens has to be relevant to a good keyword as well as relevant to the content on your lens for it to become effective. Your squidoo lens must also be updated frequently to remain fresh in the search engines and within squidoos directory.
Use the free wordtracker tool to find a good keyword within your niche and try to implement this within your squidoo URL or address that you choose on signup.
Not many people are aware of how much traffic can be generated with yahoo answers but its a great place for targeted traffic and can help you establish yourself within your niche. Navigate through the website and look at questions that have been asked within the category of your website. Answer any questions you can to the fullest of your ability and add your website address as a source of further information.
Another great, free way to generate website traffic and a great place to establish yourself as an expert in your website category.
Your article must be very informative and must not sound like you are trying to sell something. Again, use the free wordtracker tool to find good keywords and write your article based on a few keywords. Try to add you keyword within a title but add extra wording to make it unique.
You can then add your link within the resource box and type in a liitle information of what your website offers. There are hundreds of article directories including GoArticles and ArticlesBase that have high traffic.
You can even use a paid service called iSnare that submits to thousands for a small fee.
Social Bookmarking:
Whenever you write a post on your blog or write an article, add the web address to social bookmarking websites such as Yahoo Buzz, Digg and StumbleUpon. This will increase your visibility within the search engines and bring you those all important visitors who will be targeted. Make sure you choose the right category when submittin your websites and make sure your titles include your keywords as well as extra wording to make the title unique.
You can use twitter in a couple of ways. First you can write tweets within twitter itself or you can use an API. An API is used to post a tweet from a remote location. A great way to use this is from a wordpress blog as you can automatically post tweets to twitter everytime you publish a new blog post. A plugin called “Post To Twitter” can be used to achieve this.
You can also browse the twitter member directory to find new people to follow. Type in keywords related to your website category and see who pops up. The key to this is not to follow the people that show up for your keyword but to follow the people who are following the people who show for your keywords. Hopefully the people you follow will follow you back and everytime you make a new tweet, the follower may visit your website for updates.
This is a small proportion of how you can generate traffic but i will leave that with you for now and i will post more later.
