As I was just updating one of my several Squidoo Lenses, I was thinking what all I should be adding some content to, and I got lost trying to remember all I have going.
If you’re just getting started, I think the best advice that I could give someone is this. Don’t try to get too much going at one time. That was my biggest mistake.
Every thing I saw that looked potentially promising, I would try to get into. Well, at least if it didn’t cost anything, or at least too much.
If I was starting new today, I would find a niche that I was interested in, and ideally knowledgeable on, and start from there, staying focused on that one niche/campaign.
You can always get into as many areas as you want, there’s just no need to rush things. If you have shared hosting, there’s nearly no limit to how many sites that you can have going.
Quality is much, much more important than quantity, and my bottom line proves it. I’ve finally realized that I have much more going than I need, but I have stopped adding to my list, and I’m now trying to update sites that have been setting nearly unattended.
Get an idea and focus on it until you get a good, hopefully profitable campaign going before moving to the next.
In a nutshell, I would start a blog, even using Blogger.com for a free option, add (and link) a few Squidoo Lenses to that niche (blog) topic/niche, maybe even a Hubpage or 3, and write several quality EzineArticles with appropriate links to the money site.
ClickBank has many good products to promote, but don’t limit yourself either. There’s usually many, many, many marketers promoting the top CB performers, so sign up with several affiliate networks also. There’s several affiliate networks listed in the sidebar on this site, and they’re free to join. Spend some time looking through the merchants that are offered via the networks that would fit in with your niche.
Even if you are promoting a single, ‘main’ product, there’s also usually many others that will fit in nicely with your campaign.
Making money online isn’t easy, and it requires a lot of work.
It’s easy to set up a quick blog, Lens or other sites. That was probably why I tried to do too many things at one time instead of focusing my efforts. It is, however, more difficult adding quality content often and having a site that will keep the viewers interested.
I’m sure I could go without making this post for most people, but unfortunately there’s always some people that fall for these scams even if they are too good to be true. It’s not hard to make money online, but it’s not easy to get rich quickly.
actually bought or know of!!
