How to make money online.

Making Money Online, there are hundreds of ways and by the time I have written this there will be a few more.

The simplest method of making money online is posting content on an empty site with AdSense, the most complicated method is with membership sites and thousands of dollars worth of content, the opportunities are  there if you are really interested in making a fortune you can.

The best news is that its hard work. Yes it is good news, honest. If it was easy everyone with a computer would plug it in and wait for the pay checks to come. In the late 90’s I was slow to get into online business because the myth was that all anyone had to do was plug-in a computer, click a mouse and sit back and wait for the money. This put me off, mostly because it was too good to be true and not a sustainable business model especially for the U.S economy, after all who would deliver the Pizza if everyone was clicking for easy dollars?

Making Money Online with Affiliate Marketing

I love Affiliate marketing and would suggest it is a great place to start. Affiliate marketing is a general group that includes many ways to make money online. Basically you generate content that will create traffic and send it to a sales page. If your customers buy that product, you make a commission. Here are some specific marketing methods for this type of money-making:

Email Marketing

–Is one of the best ways to make good profits online. Capture email addresses in a form, either on a squeeze page or a sales page of some sort. You will then have an email list of good quality customers. Don’t bombard these customers with a load of crap. These are people who have a huge interest in your niche, look after them and meet their needs, show them they can trust you and build a long-term relationship upon that trust.

Call me a sentimental old fool if you will, but I believe in loving your customers and respecting them. Of course we want you to subscribe and follow us, we always collect email address but only if you think we are of value to you.

CPA

– Cost per Action is a form of affiliate marketing that focuses on having a reader complete an action, ordering a free sample or filling out a form, and not spending money on a product. OfferVault or Commission Junction are among many other CPA’s that are marketed through traditional affiliate marketing methods. These are very profitable and has the benefit of allowing you to find great stuff for your customers for free.

Squeeze Page Marketing

– Using a simple squeeze page that has free content such as articles, videos, or blog posts, you can draw readers in through search engines and prep them for making a purchase. Simple squeeze page ideas include reviews, seminars, authority sites with content, blogs with opinions, or social media pages with a collection of everything.

Create a Product of your own 

Sounds hard and to do a really great job it is. Your own product will represent you for years so I suggest you make it not good but great. One of the best ways to make money online is to create your own products. Product creation takes a bit of practice and a direct audience to market to. In online affiliate marketing, digital products are usually the focus.

Find a niche that you are well versed in and create something unique and valuable that is marketed effectively. You’ll need a sales page and  your own affiliate marketers to reach out to your target audience. A site like clickbank is one of the best places to get a good group of highly experienced affiliate marketers. The top ones can make you a fortune but they want to promote a good product and profit from it. They didn’t become top affiliate marketers by promoting poor quality to their loyal customers.

Marketing on eBay

For most people, eBay is a tool in a greater scheme. However, there are many marketers who are able to create a singular business using eBay. Of the ways to make money online, eBay changes the least, but still requires skills like copywriting, web design,  and action driven marketing. You can market digital products or you can use a service like SaleHoo for drop shipping.

Online Real Estate

Every domain is online real estate and they are bought, sold and developed constantly. Check out flippa.com and consider developing real estate. Perhaps there is a site with a great name, perhaps it has 5000 loyal followers in your niche but has been a bit neglected lately. Buy the domain and add killer content to it and either profit from it for years or sell it once it has increased in value.

Outsourcing and Consulting

If you have ability in a given field, you can make significant income by offering that advice to other people online. Skills such as graphic design, writing, programming, legal work, or translation are great marketable skills that are outsourced online. Perhaps work online as a virtual assistant, offering your talent by the hour.

There are hundreds of ways to make money online. One thing remains constant among all those things, however. You need to work hard. There is no magic pill to riches online. Just like offline business, it takes effort and time to become rich. Sure, there are people out there making millions with only 5 hours of work a week, but you can bet that those millionaires have invested thousands of hours to get to that point.

Remember, if it was easy anyone could do it. Be very careful with sites advertising a do nothing automatic route to wealth. Perhaps this holy grail exists but in my opinion it defies the law of common sense. If I had a program that would make you millions without you doing anything, why would I sell it to you? I could just use it myself an infinite number of times.

This is good news because it means you are needed. Business is about meeting needs profitably  both online and off.
