2 Marketing Strategies to Make Money Online with Affiliate Programs!

March 3rd, 2010 Rob Robertson No comments

The first strategy to make money online is building a list.   

This strategy is the most important step to continue to make money long term. If you do not already have some type of autoreponder system you need to get one. Don’t be cheap here either because your entire business will hinge on this one piece of software.  We use Mail Chimp

 You can build your list many different ways. You can buy leads from reputable list building companies and get them into your autoresponder. Most good list building companies will have an option to send an email to your autoresponder so you don’t have to manually input the lead’sinformation. 

 Another effective way of building your list is from the traffic that visits your website. This step, which is probably the most effective,does require you to have a website in order to implement an opt-in list form. Of course if your Affiliate program does offer a list management service then you can send traffic to the affiliate URL, but I don’t recommend it as you will usually not be able to email the entire list with special offers.  

To make the most of your opt-in form and get the most signups, you should place it in your sales page text. It should be strategically located in the sales text after you present a problem. The title of your autoresponder email series should address the problem by offering a solution. In the example below we will assume that I am selling a hosting package and I want opt-in subscribers to my email course for back-end sales.  

Example: You can use the pre-built websites or build your own. Many people think that building a website is hard, but I can show you how easy it really is. Take my 10 day email course “Build a Website with Ease”[signup form here].  

The second strategy to make money online is driving traffic to your website.

When I say traffic, I don’t just mean any old traffic, I mean targeted traffic, people who are motivated and ready to buy can and will make you money. You can use programs and techniques such as Google Adwords,blogging tools and article marketing to drive targeted traffic to your website. Google Adwords is a resource offered by Google in which you can payfor your site to be show when certain keywords are queried in their search engine. 

The secret to using Adwords is not to bid high on popular keywords. Instead,what you do is find similar keywords that still describe your website, but are used much less frequent. These keywords will cost much less to bid on and will allowyou to spread your money out over many different keywords, getting the most bang for your buck.

Blogging is another great way to drive targeted traffic to your website. To get the most out of this technique the blog should be hosted on the same website as the sales page witch links to your affiliate program. Once its setup all you have to do is fill your blogwith good quality content.  

I recommend writing your own content which specifically relates to your affiliate program and or products. Here is a great tool about making money blogging to show you how!

This win-win situation allows webmasters to have quality content on their website, which increases the value of that website while driving targeted traffic directly to you. 

Article writing is basically the same as blogging except the information in an article will need to have more useful content and be peppered with keywords that the webmasters are looking for. After completing your article you will submit (syndicate) it to content sites as opposed to blog search engines. 

Content sites are places where webmasters go to find specific content to offer their readers. If you are a good writer you may at some point build up a name for yourself and finagle a deal with a webmaster to write exclusives for his site. His readers get great exclusive content and you get highly motivated targeted traffic. 

Linking is perhaps the most widely used form of increasing traffic and page rank. However, if done incorrectly you could end up hurting your Google page rank and ultimately losing potential buyers. You will need your own website for this technique as you will need a ‘links’ page to place your reciprocal links on.  

Many people go and submit their URL links to link farms in an attempt to trick Google into giving them a better page rank. This does NOT work; in fact Google has been known to penalize websites for engaging in these activities.  

The secret to linking is to find websites in your niche market which have a Google page rank of 4 or above and enticing the webmaster to list your link on their website. You may think that you would be helping your competition, well you would be. But your competition would be helping you as well. It’s better to send leaving traffic to a partner than just having themclose their browser window, and remember that works both ways.     

The strategies listed in this article do work and they will increase you sales and residuals it done correctly. Reciprocal linking, Blogging and Article writing are great ways to bring massive amounts of high quality targeted traffic to your website. Those strategies combined with an effective sales page with an integrated opt-in email list can make your business soar to new heights. You can and will make money with this system, Guaranteed!

Blogging To Make Money

February 19th, 2010 Rob Robertson No comments

If you’ve ever browsed the Internet and seen the many “guru’s” telling you how much money they make online every week and wondered just how they do it…

Then you’re not alone I can assure you.

There are hundreds if not thousands of systems that will allow you to make money just like them; many of them don’t even require a huge amount of computer or technological know-how.

The hardest thing though is finding the ones that work and then having the time to make them work, after all if the truth is told what we all actually want is to earn large sums of money but with very little effort, am I right?

Well one of the simplest and quickest ways to earn an online income is through the use of other people’s products and very simple websites.

You’ll have heard many people talk about squeeze pages or landing pages and URL redirection as the way they attract buyers to the products their selling and Yes, they work but you need some techie knowledge or someone with the knowledge to build such a site and add your content to it.

Blogs on the other hand don’t.

Blogs have become more and more popular as the tool of choice by Internet marketers and to make it even better they’re absolutely loved by google and the other search engines.

Meaning they get good exposure and as a result traffic. (The life blood of your internet business) They can also be edited and added to daily without any real knowledge, basically the simplest way to get a start online.

If this sounds like something you’d like to get a handle on but aren’t sure you can or don’t think you’ve got the time, check out:

Are You Missing Out Without Online Marketing?

December 20th, 2009 Rob Robertson No comments

If you are not already marketing your business online, it is time to start. Although there are a few exceptions, just about every business can benefit from online marketing. There are just so many advantages to this type of marketing. First of all, it is extremely affordable to market your business online with blogs. Other advantages to marketing your business online include the ability to reach a large target audience, the ability to reach potential customers all over the world and the ability to customize the marketing for different sectors of the target audience which can enhance your ability to own numerous money making blogs.

The affordability of Internet marketing with blogs is one of many reasons why many business owners are turning to the Internet for advertising. Advertising online is incredibly affordable especially when you consider how many potential customers a business owner can reach with an online marketing campaign. Most methods of online advertising are quite affordable and some of them do not have any direct costs. For example, you may choose to market your business online by participating in industry forums and posting links to your website whenever it is appropriate to do so. In this case the cost of creating and maintaining the website is insignificant in comparison to the number of potential clients you could reach through online marketing. Additionally, the costs associated with posting links to your website are incidental. You could consider the cost of having access to the Internet as part of the cost but you most likely require Internet access for other reasons as well so it is completely worthwhile.  Adding article marketing and blog content are additional cost affective ways to market your business online.

Reaching a large target audience is another very worthwhile reason for marketing your business online. You may have spent a great deal of time and energy doing market research and determine who your target audience is. You may have also spent a great deal of time trying to figure out the best way to reach this audience. This is a very sound marketing principle but as it applies to marketing on local television, radio and print media it only allows you to reach a limited audience. However, when you take your marketing to the Internet you automatically drastically increase your potential target audience because you now have the ability to reach members of your target audience around the world.

This ability to reach customers around the world is another major advantage to marketing your business online via blogs. Regardless of where you live and operate your business, you have the ability to reach those who have an interest in the products you sell or the services you provide no matter where they live. This makes it possible for you to do business with customers around the world.

Likewise the fact that the Internet is available 24 hours a day is also very beneficial to those who choose to market their products or services online. Shopping for products and services in person can be very difficult especially for individuals who work long hours or those who work unusual hours. These working conditions make it difficult for these individuals to do business and make purchases of products and services they need during regular business hours. However, business owners who have an online presence are much more convenient because unlike stores and calling centers, the website never closes. This convenience gives potential customers the ability to view products and services, compare these products and service to the ones offered by competitors and make a purchase at any hour of any day.

If you are a business owner who is reading this article and you do not already have a strong online presence, you need to immediately start learning more about the world of Internet marketing. This is so important because if your competitors are marketing online, you may find they are gaining a steady advantage and are becoming more appealing to potential customers. Before too many of your potential customers become loyal customers of the competition it is time to start figuring out how you can market your business online and keep up with the competition.  Adding article marketing and creating Google Sniper blogs are great ways to make money blogging by targeting your business niche.

9 Characteristics That Millionaire Businesspeople Have in Common

December 17th, 2009 Rob Robertson No comments

In May 2005, Forbes magazine reported that there were 691 billionaires in the world. 1400 people across the world turn into millionaires every day. Want to become one of them? Of course you do. Everyone wants the freedom to do business in the way they choose. There is so much power in running your own business – and having a business that runs itself, which for many people is the ultimate goal.

Making money blogging is not the only goal of becoming an internet millionaire – it’s about freedom. Many people across the world are gifted with experiencing this freedom everyday. How can you become one of these people? What kind of life, and business, do you want to run? Would you like to be able to check your email from your private plane? These are the kinds of goals many people have in mind when they begin to forge ahead with their business ideas. But the truth is that the rich and the successful – the millionaires off and online – have about nine characteristics in common, not that different from a lot of people we all know. Most of them exhibit some or all of these. The truth is that we all have the potential for greatness – if we can train ourselves to keep this in mind as we go about our business day.

1. They don’t blame. Successful businesspeople don’t blame others. Instead of making excuses for bad outcomes, or reassigning responsibility to others, they take time to learn from their own mistakes.

2. They are decisive. Millionaire-types have a vision. They take quick, decisive action aligned with that vision. They’re action oriented, always pushing forward toward their goals.

3. They trust their intuition. If something seems like it’s not quite right, they trust that instinct. If an opportunity excites them and sounds like a great idea, they go for it.

4. They are singly focused on their CORE business. Successful entrepreneurs may be inspired by ideas, but they always remain true to their vision. They focus on opportunities that are aligned with their business’s purpose. If you sell retail products on eBay, don’t try real estate investing the next day. They don’t lose focus. They may sell their products on eBay, write articles, focus on joint ventures, and go to marketing seminars, but all of their efforts, and FOCUS, help them move toward their main goals.

5. They are marketing focused. Millionaires, including such giants as Bill Gates, understand the importance of building on their core business. They hire people with specialties in marketing. They work hard at building their email lists, gaining exposure, and are constantly looking for ways to reaching a wider audience. If you want to build a decent income, you sell products and services. If you want to be insanely rich, then you create and control markets. The key to your business, and creating phenomenal success, is marketing.

6. They understand the importance of continuing education. Successful businesspeople are always learning and drawing from other people’s experiences. They listen to how other people have achieved their success, especially if these people have expertise in another industry. They are constantly learning about new approaches and strategies, and thinking about how they can apply it to their own business.

7. They are not afraid of making mistakes. Any big company online will tell you that they’ve had their share of downfalls, even such giants as eBay or Craig’s List. Mistakes are building blocks for success – by making mistakes, you learn what works, and what doesn’t. You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going. We all make mistakes, and one of the most powerful things you can do is glean feedback from them. Feedback is a great way to learn from your customers and colleagues. You need to look at feedback and take it with a grain of salt – it helps you learn and grow. See your mistakes as learning lessons

8. They model their business for success. Internet millionaires model other people, strategies, and systems. They constantly look for models of success in everyday life and think about how to incorporate these lessons into their own strategy. They even look at their competition for answers. Whatever niche you’re in, subscribe to some industry newsletters, buy their products, and learn HOW they create success.

9. They build a team to rely on. No matter what stage you are in with your business, you’ve got to realize that you simply cannot do it all. You can’t be an expert in everything. You want to create a great team of people. How can you find them? Go to seminars and workshops. Hone your networking skills. You’ll often find that like minded people that are out there constantly learning and attending, seminars and workshops. Getting rich is a team sport. You have to have people that are cheering you on, encouraging your success.

These are some inherent characteristics of business millionaires. Can you apply them to your business and your life, too? Of course you can. If you can keep these principles in mind, you’ve got the millionaire mindset. No, you aren’t going to get there overnight. Making a million dollars takes some time. You can’t make a million dollars if you haven’t made your first hundred. So focus on the first hundred, first thousand, and first hundred thousand. Thinking this way goes a long way toward your goals – finding success, gaining riches, and living the kind of life you want to live.  Keep blogging and marketing online and things will begin to happen.

Top 4 Reasons You Should Be Article Marketing Your Business

As you may know by now, getting high quality traffic to your website in today’s internet world can be extremely hard!

 However, making money online,  you have to research ways for the millions of internet users to find your website out of the billions of websites that exist today.

Trying to get your site highly ranked on the search engines out of the other billion people trying to do the same thing can be hard and overwhelming. Fortunately there are ways to get the high targeted traffic you need to survive to your site. There are many ways to get traffic to your site but I have found that there is a combination of things that work best!  The first method I use is by building Google Sniper sites.  However the second one and the one I want talk about today, requires little money but can have amazing results. It is called Article Marketing.

Doubt might creep in and you are asking yourself,  how is an article going to bring traffic to my site?  It’s simple people all over the web are  seeking informative information.  So you use articles that are search engine optimized  about your business using keywords that the search engines will pick up. Doing this puts your article on search engines and in front of real potential buyers who will read your article and visit your site.

Below are the top 4 reason’s why you need to be engaging in this form of marketing your website.

1. More People See Your Site

When your articles are professionally written,you have the ability to show them off! You can put them on your website and post them to many article directories that all will link back to your website.  Submit your article to all of the popular ezines and message boards and soon enough you’ll have hundreds of visitors on your website.

2. You can Post them for Free

Posting your articles to all of these websites and directories are Free.  Your main responsibility is to make sure they are keyword rich and professionally written.

3. Get A Higher Search Engine Ranking

On your website link your article so that the search engine robots can crawl your site and pick up on it.  Doing this will get you ranked higher, the more you write the more you move up!

4. Great Articles Lead to Great Reputations

By having your articles written by professionals they will give your website the sense of professionalism. This will leave great impressions on the visitors and that will make them eager to do business with you. That also encourages them to spread the word about your website bring in more visitors! You want to be seen as the best in your field and a true expert!

You may be asking yourself:

How can I automate the process of submitting articles to numerous article directories and streamline the process? 

I am not a good writer, where can I get assistance with articles for my chosen niche?

My recommendation is that you take a long look at Mass Article Control.  Both of these questions are answered for you and I can tell you from experience that it has made my life much easier and profitable!

Blogging to Make Money – My Fourth Google Sniper Site

December 1st, 2009 Rob Robertson No comments

Google Sniper Works if You Will Just Give It a Chance

I just created my 4th Google Sniper site and by gosh it really does get easier with time.  Just as I have started getting traffic and some sales to my 3rd site, I have not created my 4th.

I can honestly say that once I decided on the niche and the keywords, creating the blog took me about 1 hour.  This is turning into just like a washing machine only with this you are truly blogging to make money.

Rinse and repeat cycle!

It gets easier as you begin to tweak and learn.  Don’t expect blog number 1 to do fantastic!  However if you follow the Snipersteps, it will begin to payoff.   My profit margins are high and you want to know why.  I am using clickbank to market others products.  I buy a URL ($10.00) with blueHost.  I pay blueHost $10.00 a month.  That is it.  $20.00 a month. 

For blog posts, I am using the articles from Mass Article Control.  It has THOUSANDS in many different niches.

This stuff works.  My goal is to have 10-20 sites up and running within the next 3-4 months.  Heck at 10$ a site and about one hour to create, I’d be crazy NOT to!!

My advice.  Don’t get discouraged and do not quit.  It takes time but will work and you will continue to learn what does work and what does not.

Make Money Blogging – What Is Your Strategy

November 13th, 2009 Rob Robertson 2 comments

Make Money Blogging, Do you have a strategy?

Have you leaped into Internet marketing with your blog and you’re still kind of fuzzy on what’s next? I know if you are new, you probably have. If you have some experience, you might be like me and sometimes get deterred or distracted from your objectives.

I have found that my success has been enhanced by breaking down my strategy in to categories.

Strategy 1 is based on my need to stay on top of the latest trends and products.

  • I keep a list of areas that I feel I need to enhance my knowledge an I am willing to invest.
  • I have a budget that I am willing to pay which is generally under $100.
  • I try to find honest reviews before purchasing on places like the Warrior Forum
  • If  I sign up for the recurring billing items like club membership’s I make sure to save all the contact info so I can cancel if it is not beneficial. Even then I make it a practice to  give it at most 3-6 months if they don’t keep the info fresh and updated with new ideas.
  • I remain on the email lists of the creators of the products I have purchased looking for free stuff that I know will be offered and for new products.  I almost always review what they offer.
  • I use the  The “Cost Of No” Strategy for myself.  The “think it costs too much? What is the cost of not…” strategy tells allows me to analyse if  the cost of not gaining the desired benefit could cost me way more.

Strategy 2 is more like a task list of what I have to accomplish on a daily basis but also involves the strategy I use to market products.

Daily:

  • Morning’s are for putting the schedule together for the day.
  • I modify one of the many articles I have gotten from my purchased from the article products I bought and I submit them to numerous Article directories. 
  • I make a blog post on at least two of my money blogs ( I have 5).  Often I use one of the articles for the particular niche from the thousands I got from my purchases. 
  • I monitor the Warrior Forum for new ideas and product offerings.
  • I check my Google Analytics statistics.  This has turned out to be a great source for seeing what long tail keywords people are using to find my sights.  I use these with the Google Sniper techniques I bought.
  • Post blog posts to various shared directories.

Once a Week (usually Saturday mornings with my coffee ) :-)

  • I read other blogs to check out other ideas and site designs and make comments to obtain linkbacks.
  • I re-read the materials from the products I own for new ideas or things I might have missed.
  • I read through the offerings that I have gotten via email during the week.
  • Check my clickbank accounts for earnings and traffic statistics to adjust.
  • Make note of any interesting looking niches to create a new blog.

Monthly

  • Usually once a month I spend an entire day searching for a new niche to create a new blog within my notes, my purchased sources and clickbank.  
  • I revisit Google Sniper because it has a wealth of knowledge for starting a new niche blog and I always get a refresher.
  • Create a new niche blog using the Blogging to the Bank and Google Sniper techniques.

Basically the key for word for most business owners is discipline.  Get into a routine and be patient.  This stuff works but not overnight!

How To Make Money Blogging – 10 Step Solution

November 8th, 2009 Rob Robertson 2 comments

Firstly, we all want to know How to Make Money Online, and one of the best ways I have found is by creating blogs. In this post I intend to show you how you too can learn How to Make Money Blogging by telling you how combining the techniques I have gathered from across the web helps to make me $$$ every day. Secondly, I am not trying to sell you my latest “Get Rich Quick” scheme because I don’t have one. Each eBook you read will have a wealth of information within them which will, without a doubt help you to discover the secrets of How to Make Money Online. I am only going to tell you which ones out of the 100’s available you SHOULD read if you too want to make lots of money.

I use a 10 step guide to setting up and starting all of my blogs.

I will give you a list of the top 7  resources later that I use and recommend to everyone who is serious about making lots of money online. One of the vital aspects people seem to miss out when they first get into blogging is the fact that their blog must contain information that people want to read.

Many bloggers are looking through closed eyes in this regard and if you browse through 50 blogs you will notice that most will tell you they know How to Make Money with Blogs when really all they tell you is where they went on their vacation or how many cars they have.

Are you ready to learn How to Make Money Blogging?

If the answer is YES then read on and start to make money with your blog. I am not here to tell you how to write your blog, that’s up to you, but what I am about to tell you is the 10 things I use to make money on the internet. You can choose to use these techniques or not, that’s your prerogative.

Step 1 – Finding a Topic

Turn off your computer, grab a pen and some paper and sit somewhere you can relax but also stay focused (if you are just starting out this step can be a pain because we all want to know How to Make Money Online and we want to know how to make it NOW). Think of a topic you are interested in and write it down (this helps because you will be more committed to trying instead of giving up in a day or two) and also make sure it is something other people are interested in too. A couple of ways I use to think of a topic is by using MetaSpy to find out what people are searching for, Ask IQ to find what’s popular and VRE Toolbar to find out how many people search for the topic (this is also useful later on to get traffic). Write down your top five keywords, you will want to use them later in your blog.

Step 2 – Create Your Blog

Find and create your blog online. I like to use Wordpress but other popular Blog platforms are Blogger and Movable Type. You can find all the help in the program you use to get information when setting up the blog. Create your content, make it original, and make it informative. This is one of the main keys to learn How to Make Money with Blogs. You need to include the keywords you wrote down in Step 1 in the content of your blog. Try not to overuse these as it sends out bad signals to the search engines, and this is 100% not what you want.

Step 3 – Go Google

Sign up for Google Adsense and insert the code in the margin of your blog. You can customize your ads in many ways, such as including text links or image links. I prefer the text links only, as they are easier to blend in with your blog and don’t take the focus away from the information. Google Adsense will probably not make you a millionaire but it is an instant way of generating a small amount of money.

If you want to track where your visitors are coming from with regards to direct hits or from search engine results then I would suggest you use Google Analytics and again you can get all the help you need setting that up from within the program.

You will also want to add your URL to Google’s index.

Step 4 – Find Something to Sell

If you don’t want to sell anything and are happy with the income Google Adsense is bringing in then you can skip this step. If you want to maximize your income and truly learn How to Make Money with Blogs you will want to find an affiliate program to join. A couple of affiliate programs I would suggest are ClickBank and Commission Junction. You can sell anything from office furniture, pet supplies, movies and clothing to PC games, Dieting tips and Audio software.

Step 5 – Social Bookmarking

There is no better advertising than word of mouth, but the next best thing is social bookmarking. You will want to make things easier for people to do this. Social bookmarking sites I use and recommend are OnlyWire and SocialMarker and they are used for people to share their bookmarks or websites that they have liked with other people in their online community.

I would not suggest you add your own links to these services, but provide visitors to your website the ability to do so.

Step 6 – Write an Article

Whether your blog is about a specific product, for example a certain MP3 Player you are promoting, or just about giving people information, I would suggest you to write an article or a review of it. Most article directories require articles of 500 words and over so I would use this as a rule when writing to ensure your article is published.

Submit your article to any of the 100’s which are out there. I personally use a few of the Top Article directories such as EzineArticles, Article Dashboard, Amazines.com, isnare and SearchWarp. I also use a nifty piece of software called Article Submitter which will submit your articles to over 600 article directories, which saves you lots of time and leaves you to focus on writing your blogs.

Step 7 – Ping The Heck Out Of It

Every time you add new information to your blog, you want to let the blog directories know about it, this is known as pinging. Some Blog providers automatically send out pings when you update, but to be on the safe side you will want to do this manually too. ONLY PING WHEN YOU UPDATE.

There are a couple of Ping sites I use which will send a ping to multiple blog directories at the same time. PingMyBlog would be my first port of call and then if for some reason that site is down I would use Ping-o-matic. Remember, to only ping when you update or you could get blacklisted, and that is bad.

Step 8 – Yahoo! Answers and Forums

One of the easiest ways to get targeted visitors to your blog is to make use of the people you want to target. I would suggest you sign up to at LEAST one forum in the topic you are writing about, and don’t just go straight in there and start posting comments for people to look at your blog, they won’t.

The secret is to add the link to your blog in your signature and actively become a member of the forum, posting relevant topics and starting debates within them. The more you post, the more your link will show, and if you provide someone with good info the chances are higher they will click your link.

Yahoo! Answers is along the same lines as forums but the beauty of this is it’s viewed by thousands of visitors each day. If you don’t already have a Yahoo! account get one and then login and search for questions relating to the topic of your blog and answer them well. You can then insert the link to your blog and as with the forums, if you answer well you may have not only earned yourself a point or two on Yahoo!, but also earned a visitor to your blog.

Step 9 – Update Your Blog

This can be by several means, one is to add new reviews or content to your blog, and if you are going to do this I suggest updating every couple of days. This helps to keep the search engines happy as they love to see new and original content.

Another way of updating your blog and keeping the content fresh is to add RSS feeds to it. Make sure the feeds are relevant to your blog and provide visitors with helpful information. Visitors to a World of Warcraft blog don’t want to read feeds about knitting, or do they?

Step 10 – More, More, More

Repeat steps 1 – 10, this is the only way How to Make Money Blogging.

Step 11 – A Bonus Step

If you have your own product or newsletter, give your visitors an easy way to sign up to receive updates or information. This helps you to contact the visitor again with more great info or products you wish to sell.

How to Make Money Online is easy if you follow the above steps.

Some important things to remember so you don’t get disheartened with your blog is the fact that you will not become a millionaire overnight, it takes hard work and a lot of effort. If you are really serious about learning How to Make Money with Blogs then stick with it and eventually you will have an Ah-Ha moment. This is when things start to work and you think to yourself Ah-Ha, that’s how they do it. Your moment could be sooner than you think.

November 3rd, 2009 Rob Robertson No comments

This is the age old question. Funny to think that anything about the internet could be ‘age old’ but here it is.

Ever since there was an internet for us all to use, people have been trying to profit from it. Many people have succeed, many are still trying.

There are plenty of scams out there promising you instant riches for only $137. The seller of this scam will show you proof that his method works by revealing his bank account. Of course this works for him, he’s selling the scam. His bank account is not proof that his ideas will make you rich. It is only proof that he is willing to cheat you out of your money. Why wouldn’t he be rich, he is collecting $137 a pop to tell his story.

What is his story? Probably something like, create an ebook, market it and watch the money grow. He will tell you that in order for you to create your ebook, you will need his $97 ebook software program. To market your ebook, you will have to buy his $197 marketing plan. It’s as simple as that. Wow, are you rich yet. No, but he sure is!

This is very much like the old mail order scams about stuffing envelopes. How many people fell for that trick? How does that scam work? Well you pay someone $24.95 for their informative booklet on mail order profits. When you get the booklet, you find out that in order for you to make money in mail order, you have to get people to send you $24.95 for your informative booklet on mail order profits. Sound familiar?

The only difference between that old scam and the new internet scams is the price. The idea is the same, it just costs you a lot more to get ripped off online.

So is there really any way for an honest person to make a legitimate income online?

It won’t be overnight and it won’t be effortless. It takes time and work to build a business anywhere. Why would the internet be any different? If anyone tries to tell you different they are lying to you. They are just trying to get you to buy their informative booklet, translated = ebook.

If you want to build a business, you will have to be willing to work, research and be patient. Nothing happens instantly and no one is going to hand you the silver tablet with all the answers.

There is a lot of writing that goes into an online business. You have to write website content. You have to write a newsletter or ezine. You have to write articles. If you hate to write, you are looking into the wrong business.

Yes, you will find people who will sell you the special program that will allow you to get rich without any writing. The problem is, how did you find out about that program? The seller wrote a sales letter. Hmm… sounds like writing to me. And remember what we already talked about? There is no super software that will make you rich overnight. If someone were to create such a program, do you think you would be able to buy it for one hundred and thirty seven dollars? Hardly.

Let’s stay on track here.

To build an online business, you will have to own a website. To create this website, you will have to research a topic and write about it. You will have to buy a domain name, (this is cheap and you only pay once a year). You will need to find a good hosting company to host your site. This can be pretty inexpensive if you look around. This is a monthly expense that you will have to be able to afford before you even consider building a website.

Once you have your site built and online, your next job will be to let the world know you are there. This is the biggest job there is. It is a never ending task. No one will even know your site exists if you don’t work on promoting it. Many people will try to sell you information on marketing too. There is plenty of free information out there all you have to do is look for it.

Finally, once you have your site up and running, you have people coming to your site, you will need a product or products to sell or what was the point? The easiest way to get products is through affiliate programs. These programs will allow you to sell someone else’s product and make commission off your sales. You don’t have to stock anything, you don’t have to collect money and you don’t have to deal with shipping.

There are many good companies out there that offer nice commissions on their products. It really doesn’t matter what you decide to create your website about. You will find someone selling something that will compliment your site.

So, back to the original question. How can I ‘really’ make money online? The answer is by working at it. Put your pie in the sky dreams away and start writing.
