Making Money from Your Web Site

If you hadn't already guessed, the Web is not going to be the wellspring of wealth that a lot of people assumed it would. Some people will get very wealthy, but other people will earn nothing, and, in the nature of business fail and go out of business.

However, if your goals are a bit more modest, it is not unreasonable to expect your Web site to bring you some extra cash. Perhaps pay for the Web service it's running on and take your family out to eat once or twice a month. Perhaps more.

Affiliate Program

Affiliate programs are a simple way for you to get some extra cash coming from your Web site. An affiliate program is where you partner with another company, usually an ecommerce company, to sell their product from your Web site. For every product you sell, you get a portion of the proceeds. The best known affiliate program sells books for Amazon.com, but you can sell anything from car ads to fishing flies.

Advertisements

Many sites have advertising on them, and they are another way to add a revenue stream from your Web site. The money from advertising comes in two ways: first from the number of people who view the ad and second from the number of "click-throughs" on the ad. Basically, if your site gets a lot of hits (and so a lot of people will see the ad) it will get a better rate for advertisements. But even sites that have lower hit rates might have high numbers of clicks on the ad, and this will get you a better rate as well.

Advertising can take the form of banner ads, which usually cost a lot, or just sponsored links. You can see examples of each of those on About.com as well. The banner ads on the top, bottom and sides cost more than the sponsored links on the bottom, and they each bring in different amounts of revenue.

How to make money using the Internet

Make money: not by building an internet company, but by using the net as a tool to create value and get paid. Use the internet as a tool, not as an end. Do it when you are part of a big organization or do it as a soloist. The dramatic leverage of the net more than overcomes the downs of the current economy.

The essence is this: connect.

Connect the disconnected to each other and you create value.

Connect advertisers to people who want to be advertised to.
Connect job hunters with jobs.
Connect information seekers with information.
Connect teams to each other.
Connect those seeking similar.
Connect to partners and those that can leverage your work.
Connect people who are proximate geographically.
Connect organizations spending money with ways to save money.
Connect like-minded people into a movement.
Connect people buying with people who are selling.
Some examples? I think it's worth delineating these so you can see that the opportunity can be big, if that's your taste, or small if you don't want to invest heavily just yet.

Connect advertisers to people who want to be advertised to.
Dani Levy did this with Daily Candy, a company she recently sold for more than a hundred million dollars. Daily Candy uses simple email software, there's no technology tricks involved. Instead, it's a simple permission marketing business... hundreds of thousands of the right people, getting an anticipated, personal and relevant email every day. (Note! This only works if you earn true permission, not that sort of fake half and half version that's so common).

Connect job hunters with jobs.
My friend Tara has made hundreds of thousands of dollars (in good years) working as an executive recruiter. But what did she actually do all day? She stayed connected with a cadre of people. She kept track of the all stars. She connected with the right people, invested time in them that her clients never thought was worth it. So, when it was time to hire, it was easier for them to call Tara than it was for them to start from scratch. The best time to start a gig like this is right now, when no one in particular wants to connect with and help out the superstars. Later, when the economy bounces back, your position is extremely valuable. (Note! This only works if you have insane focus and the people you interact with are the true superstars, not just numbers).

Connect information seekers with information.
At a large scale, this is what Bloomberg did to make his fortune. Spending $$$ on a Bloomberg terminal guarantees a user at least a fifteen minute head start on people who don't have one. But consider how many micro markets where this connection doesn't occur. Michael Cader offers it to book publishers and does quite well. Which industry needs you to channel and collect and connect?

On a micro level, there are now people making thousands of dollars a month running their pages on Squidoo. That's almost enough to be a full time job for a curious person with the generosity to share useful information.

Connect teams to each other.
How much is on the line when a company puts ten people in three offices on a quest to launch a major new product in record time? The question, then, is why wouldn't they be willing to spend a little more to hire a team concierge? Someone to manage Basecamp and conference calls and scheduling and document source control to be sure the right people have the right information at the right time... I don't think most organizations can hire someone to do this full time, but I bet this is a great specialty for someone who is good at it.

Connect those seeking similar.
Who's running the ad hoc association of green residential architects? Or connecting the hundred CFOs at the hundred largest banks in the US? It's amazing how isolated most people are, even in a world crowded with people. I know of a guy who built an insanely profitable business around connecting C level executives at the Fortune 500. After all, there are only 500 of them. They want to know what the others are doing... (Consider this example)

Connect to partners and those that can leverage your work.

Freelances had no power because they depended on the client to hook them up with the rest of the team that could leverage their work. But what if you do that before you approach the client? What if you, the graphic designer, have a virtual partner who is an award winning copywriter and another partner who is a well-know illustrator? You could walk in the door and offer detailed PDFs or other high-impact viral electronic media in a turnkey package.

Connect people who are proximate geographically.
We all know that newspapers are tanking. Yet news, it appears, is on the rise. This paradox is an opportunity. Who is connecting the 10,000 people in your little community/suburb/town/zip code to each other? One person who spends all day at school board meetings, breaking stories about a dumping scandal, profiling a local business person or teacher? If you did that, and built an audience of thousands by RSS and email... do you think you'd have any trouble selling out the monthly cocktail party/mixer? Any trouble finding sponsors among local businesses for a media property that actually and truly reaches everyone?

Connect organizations spending money with ways to save money.
During the last recession, plenty of entrepreneurs scored by selling businesses on doing a phone bill audit. They took 30% of the first year's savings and did the work for free. Today, there are countless ways businesses can save money using technology and outsourcing, but few take full advantage. You can train them to do this and keep a share of the savings.

Connect like-minded people into a movement.
We've seen plenty of headstrong bootstrapped entrepreneurs turn a blog into the cornerstone of a multi-million dollar empire. The secret: they don't write their blog for everyone. Instead, they use the blog as the center connecting point for a niche, and then go from there. It's easy to list the tech successes, but there are literally 10,000 other niches just waiting for someone to connect them.

Connect people buying with people who are selling.
Sure, you know how to use Craigslist and eBay to buy and sell... but most people don't. How about finding people in your town with junk that needs removing, items that need selling, odd jobs that need filling... and then, for a fee, solve their problems using your laptop and these existing networks? Imagine the power, just to pick one example, of building an email alert list of 500 garage sale bargain hunters. Every time you email them, they show up. Now, you can walk into any home in any town and guarantee the biggest garage sale success they've ever seen... and you have the photos to prove it. As long as you protect the list and do for them, not to them, this asset increases in value.

The best time to do any of these projects was five years ago, so that today you'd be earning thousands of dollars a week. Too late. The second best time to start: now.

Make Money With Writing And Promoting Ebooks

Many people these days men/women are interested in learning how to make good money without ever having to leave their homes. You can sell your own product or you can sell someone elses product and get a percentage of the sell. I would say the best way with the least amount of work is to sell someone else product. You can make up to 75% on some products which is more than the guy who is selling it. So it is possible to make more money than the owner of the product. Here are a few tips on how to make it in this business.

Claim your free reports and e-books now

Do something that you are knowledgeable of doing or learn about your niche. Before you sell the e-books, make sure you know everything about that industry.

Before you start selling e-books make sure you know everything about how to promote them. There are a couple ways you can go about this and some are even free. If you are a good writer you can write articles, post blogs, or even do some article reviews. The best thing to do when writing to promote your e-book is look up keywords. Checkout google keyword tools and find out what people are searching.

Like I said before in order to learn the best way of promoting information e-books, writers should read up on e-book promotion. This will provide them with helpful information and tips on how to promote their niche. You normally should stay with one niche because the more keywords and information you know about that niche the more successful you will be. Here is a list that you should checkout before getting into this.
thesecret2onlinemoney
googlenemesis
topsecretmagiccode
googlemassacre

If you do not have enough money to get all of these books at least get the first 2. Think about it what is $200 or even $500 when you are going to be making that every day.

Advertise Effectively
The more effective you are with advertising the more money you will make without wasting. People who are searching for e-books will usually only read the first couple of lines of the advertisement. So you need to grab the reader in the first few sentences. So the more efficient you are in the beginning the more you will chance there is that you will get the sale.

A good thing to do is check out how other articles are written and ads which support your niche on google. Here are a couple of tips that will help you:

1. Use spyfu- This is a great way to check out what the competition is using. If you know the best words for your niche than you have a key advantage.

2. Write as many articles as you can but make sure they are within the 400-1000 word bracket. If they are any less then google and yahoo will not list them. Its not as much about the length as it is about the quality. Remember quality before quantity.

3.Really read up on google adwords and make sure you know how to use it efficiently. If not you can go broke quickly. But if you do your research you can get good keywords for as low as 10 cents a click. Not bad if you are spending $5.00 and making $45

This is one of the best ways to make money and get paid for your time. The thing is you are not going to get rich over night. People have but it usually takes more than a couple of days to make a good amount of income. You just have to be patient and keep researching and reading books on how to sell e-books.

If you do this than I guarantee you will make a good part-time income or even a full time.

How To Build A Affiliate Marketing Website

Affiliate marketing is one of the most profitable market right now. The money that is being made by regular people is in fact enormous. And, as a result of that, it has become one of the most popular ways to make money on the net. But, how easy it is to make money from this business? Well, not so easy. In fact, those who has manage to succeed, has been working very hard for it. There are actually no short-cut, you really need to start from scratch and learn a lot before you will see any result. If you do that, then this business will give you a huge reward, in terms of money.

Creating your own professional looking website, is one of those task you really need to do. No matter what other people are saying, a nice website is going to make it easier for you to succeed. To create this website, there are a couple of thing that you need to focus on:

1. The design
2. The domain name

The design

To keep it simple, the design of the site has to match the product that you are going to promote. For example: If you are promoting dog food, then a design that shows cats all over the site, would not be a good solution...

The domain name

It has been discussion about how important the domain name is. For me, its one of those thing that I feel is important. Ok, it will cost you some money to buy a domain name, between 5 to 10 dollars a year, but, as I see it, that's pretty cheap for a unique name of your business site.

To choose a name, I suggest you use a keyword tool. There are free keyword tools that you can use and my favourite is Google keyword tool. Another thing you should do, is to visit Domainsbot. DomainBot will show to you domain suggestions (for free) that is available. Just enter your keyword and they will give you hundreds of domain name suggestions.
To make it easier to understand, this is the step I'm using when picking out a domain:

1. Do I search of the keywords that are relative to the product(s) that you are going to marketing. (use Google keyword tool)
2. Pick out the 5 "most search for" keywords relative for your site
3. Visit DomainsBot (or any other domain suggestion site) and enter the keyword(s) that you got from the keyword search tool. You will get some suggestion of available domain names from this site.
4. Visit Namecheap and buy the domain name that you want.

When you have choosing the domain name, its time to get it hosted. My successions, is to use Hostgator. I've used a couple of other hosting services before, but have now changed to Hostgator. The service is superb and very easy to use and I recommend that you start with the "Baby" Packages.

Now, you are almost ready to start building your site. But first, you need to change the name servers for your domain name. You will find these from the place where you bought the domain name. The Name servers (dns) should be pointing to your web hosting account. After you have done that, you are ready to begin building your website.

Building your site will takes some time. But the good thing is that most of the work can be done by using resources available from the net. If you do a search, you will find tools that will generate sites very easy. My favourite tool that I'm using to build sites very fast, is the HyperVre tool, made by Matt Callen. I've been using this tool for over a year now and I really love it. With this tool, you can very easily create marvellous sites with just a little bit of work.

There is of course other tool that you can use that is good. Setting up a blog using Wordpress is very good alternative. The good thing about Wordpress, is that you can find a lot of free templates and plug-in that you can use to build your site.

Content

One of the most important things that your website has to offer, is content. With good content, visitor will enjoy your site and will hopefully return in the future. A good content could be:
* Articles about related subjects
* Product pages

Articles

Write articles that are related to the products you are promoting. It could be new product releases, links to other affiliate products (in the same genre) that you are promoting etc. The thing is, make the site interesting to visit. Not just flashing banner all over the site, because you want this site to look professional.

Product pages

You should make a page were you tell the customer about the product. Try to make the site as "banner free" as possible. Instead, tell them useful facts about the product, why the need them etc. If you keep this site simple and professional, then the visitor will hopefully click on the affiliate links that you are providing, and you will make money.

Tips! If you want to know how a professional site looks like, visit some successful online stores. From these sites, you will get some ideas about how your site should look like.

Finally, to be a successful affiliate, you need to build your own website. And when you have built the site, you need to update it regularly with new content so that your visitors come back more than once. If you do all of this thing, then you will probably succeed in this business.

How To Make $500 A Month Online With ClickBank

Chances are if you are reading this article you are looking for ways to make money online. Consider your self lucky because today I am going to share with you a proven method that allows anyone to make at least $500 a month working online. Now the good thing is I am going to show you exactly how to make this money without spending any money in advertising.

The way I am going to show you how to make money will deal with affiliate marketing, and using the help of a free service called ClickBank. First lets go over what exactly affiliate marketing is, and how it can help you make money.

Affiliate marketing is simply selling someones product, and in return they pay you a small commission for making a sale. Depending on the type of product you sell the commission you can make can range anywhere from a couple of dollars all the way to a few hundred.

Now the free service you will use to find products to promote is click bank. ClickBank has been around for a very long time, and has a very good reputation of paying people on time. You can visit their website and search the market place for product to promote. I suggest you pick a product that you like, and feel good about promoting. It also does not hurt to already know a little bit about what you are promoting.

After you pick your product from the ClickBank market place the fun now begins. Now we will start to focus on how to start advertising this product to those who need it. First off you must understand that not everyone is going to need or want your product.

So you need to find what is called your target audience. A target audience will be a specific group of people who need or want what you are selling. These are red hot buyers.

For marketing you product I suggest starting off by doing a little article marketing. This method is also known as the bum marketing method, and has been around for years and is proven to work time after time. You should write reviews of the product, and other articles that just talk in general about what the product is and how it might help someone.

With article marketing you should make it a goal of yours to write 3 to 5 articles per week, and submit them to the top article directories. Make sure that when you do submit your articles for your ClickBank product you leave a link back to your website you are using to promote your product.

Finally our last proven method of free online marketing for your click bank product is social networking sites. Social network sites are where people go to meet and make friends, but they are also used to sell things online, and it is a proven method that works.

Create a simple MySpace and or FaceBook account. Once you have your account make your profile page talk about how you work online, and what you have done in the past.
As you do this leave links back to your websites, and maybe even recommend a product to people. The most important thing though is you do not want to turn your profile into a sales page. Just give them enough information so they click the links on your page.

This method works extremely well. One of the main keys to making it work though is building up friends. The more friends you have the more people will see your profile page, which leads to more clicks. Also you will be able to post bulletins to more people.

So there you have it. This is a proven way to make $500 or more per month promoting a click bank product. If you wish to make more money all you have to do is pick another product and repeat the same steps above for your new product.

How to Promote Clickbank Products

There are many ways to market Clickbank products. The most important advice I can give you to becoming a financially successful Clickbank affiliate is consistency and perseverance.

What normally happens... a marketer gets excited about Clickbank, sees the huge commissions that can be earned, develops delusions of making a million dollars a year, quitting their day job and retiring to a beach for the rest of their lives. This is the wrong way to approach Clickbank. While you can make tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, even millions of dollars per year, and there are many affiliates who work with Clickbank full-time (myself included) a get rich quick mind-set is the wrong way to approach this business because if often leads to frustration and the affiliate marketing quitting. Put simply, you set your goals to high and set yourself up for failure.

If you're brand new you want to start with the mindset of simply trying to make your first sale. This can take time. Focus on that first sales and doing everything and anything to make it. Once you get it, focus on one sale a week, then a sale every other day, then a sale every day and so on and so forth. Set small goals to shoot for. If you shoot for a million dollars a year out of the gate you will set yourself up for disappointment. It's too much pressure to put on yourself and the chances of that happening are unlikely. You must learn to crawl before you can walk, and learn to walk before you can run, and learn to run before you can blaze down the road in a sport's car.

Once you focus on making consistent sales you can shift your goals to monetary goals. I suggest trying to make $25 a day, once your consistent with that up your goal to $50 a day, then $75, $100, $200 and so on -- give yourself small increments to work for. I personally like to set my monetary goals by the day. Naturally some days will be better, some will be worse, so you might want to adjust your goals by the week or pay-period.

When I have a bad day I make it a goal to take action to improve it. I'll find a new product to promote, or I'll make a marketing video, or write an article or even write a short eBook to give away. Sometimes I buy an additional classified ad or a Google ad. But I don't wait for the bad days to motivate me. I have a list of daily goals and spend roughly three hours a day on my business. Those three hours translate to my daily monetary goal. If I have a bad day or week, I add another hour to my day and do a little more to make up for it. If I have an exceptional week I might give myself a day or two off.

No matter what it comes back to consistency and perseverance. You want to persevere by hitting your revenue goals and taking baby steps. Setting small goals to work for. You want to be consistent in the amount of work you do and do it every day, or at least three to five days per week.

How Do You Honestly Make Money Online

There is a great Steve Martin routine entitled, How to be a Millionaire and Never pay Taxes. It starts out like this: Step 1, get a million dollars, Step 2……

You will find alot of this in todays marketing world. Whether you have to first get a million dollars, or find a topic you truly enjoy, or have unconditional love for all mankind, when we get to this point in the training we usually hit a big wall called “How Do I Do That?”

Well the truth is no one knows how to do that for you. It does not mean that the training is no good, it just means that every one is different with different goals and different hangups. But rest assured, the information is out there. The only thing stopping you from being wealthy is you.

You see, people in general have a skewed vision about what being wealthy means. They imagine that when they win the lotto it will be constant party on the beach and flying around in the G5 to see the president. What they don’t realize is that wealthy people are busy. They typically work harder and longer than average to manage and maintain their wealth. In fact, some are focused on it so much that when it is taken away from them (as in a stock market crash) they feel they have no option but to commit suicide.

Most people will join a program only to learn that they have to work to earn money. So they quit and find another program where the cycle repeats. Unfortunately these people are the source of income for many internet gurus.

Here are two things to remember:

You receive money by providing value to others

The people who made the most money during the gold rush were the ones selling the shovels
If you want to be paid, provide something of value to others. Whether that thing of value is your opinion, someone else’s product, or the latest iphone application (those tower defense games are like crack) you must give something to get anything in return. Give people the tools they need to get ahead in the world and you will be a god among men (and women too of course)
Pay attention to the subtle teaching of the net.

There are lessons and then there are lessons. When you join a mailing list pay attention to the mailings not for what they say but for what they are. Think about why the list owner sent that mail out. Do you see it as a blatant attempt to get affiliate earnings or does it truly provide the list members some value?

Are you still reading this? If you have not been scared away yet then there may be some hope in your future.

As a bonus to you, I am going to tell you the real secret to wealth: Try everything.
Yup, that is it. Try everything. Join all the lists, spend as much money as you can learning as much as you can. When you have filled your head with teachings from the net you will distil your true calling. Try everything. Many things you come across and spend good money on will be total crap. That is ok, call it training. It may be crap, but sometimes you have to step in alot of crap to recognize it for what it is. Try everything.

When you get to the point that you are getting hundreds of emails a day and are completely overloaded a small light will begin to glow. You will begin to realize the right and wrong way of doing things. Alot of things you read will make more sense. Now you can unsubscribe from the garbage lists and purge your world of the useless things. You will start focusing on what you truly want to do, something you are passionate about.


I’m sorry to say you can’t jump to the end of the journey. Just as many lotto winners spend more than they win and are broke within a year, if you try to go too fast you will not be prepared and will most likely fail.

Make some progress every day and you will achieve your goal, it is inevitable.


There are hundreds of people wanting to sell you information on how to make money online. Some of it is fresh new methods, some of it is rehashed old methods, but either way none of it will work if you don’t try.
