The Quick and Easy Way To Make Money Online

The Quick and Easy Way To Make Money Online
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Michael_Nalbone]Michael Nalbone

Still struggling? Damned shame. It’s not that hard to make money
online.

Heard that before, have you? Well listen…I’m going to lay it
all out for you, right here, right now & I’m not going to charge
you a dime – you can thank me later.

This is by-far the easiest, fastest way to make money. But it’s
important that you follow-through.

Step 1: If you don’t have a ClickBank affiliate id, go there now
& get one. It’s free.

Step 2: Browse through or search the ClickBank Marketplace and
find a product to promote that pays at least $25 in commission.

If you don’t have any money to get going, write a short article
that relates to the ClickBank product. Explain how using the
product will benefit  those reading the article. Include your
cloaked affiliate hoplink within the article body as well as the
“about the author” footer. Submit the article to article
directories. Write and submit one or two articles per week.
Within a week or so, you should start seeing some cash coming in.

Step 3: If you don’t have a Google AdWords account, go there now
& open one.

Step 4: Gather some relevant keywords & launch a PPC campaign to
promote the ClickBank product.

Step 5: UNDERSTAND THIS: Make sure you use the proper hoplink
format! I cringe every time I see someone post an ad for a
ClickBank product & use the wrong link. Then they wonder why
they’re not making any money! The correct format is: http://affiliate.vendor.hop.clickbank.net – It is NOT http://www.some-vendor-site.com/?hop=affiliate – You MUST send
the visitor to CLICKBANK in order for the affiliate cookie to be
set & proper credit awarded for the sale.

Step 6: Keep your keyword bids low and test different ad versions
until you get one that pulls some traffic. If the ClickBank
product has even a half-decent sales page, you should be able to
make more than you spend on the ads. If it doesn’t, you’re either
paying too much for the keywords, or the sales page sucks – in
which case, dump it & try a different product.

That’s all there is to it.

Re-invest your profits to launch & test new products/ad
campaigns. Branch-out and add Commission Junction products to the
mix. Grow slowly & use the money you’ve made to create your own
product. If you can’t write, hire someone to do it for you. Have
some graphics created & set up a sales page of your own.

Repeat the process until you’re making the kind of money you’re
happy with. It isn’t rocket science. I know it works. I’ve been
doing it this way myself & this method has allowed me to quit my
job & enjoy true freedom. Anybody (and I do mean ANYBODY) can do
this. There’s no reason that you can’t make money online &
finally tell your boss to kiss-off too.

Here’s To Your Freedom! – Mike Nalbone

Squidoo is an Awesome FREE Tool for Generating Traffic and Sales

In continuing along the same idea of my previous post (makebanner03 money online while spending very little), if you haven’t started using Squidoo yet, you need to….now. I can’t stress it enough, Squidoo is a fantastic, totally FREE method of generating traffic, and subsequently sales.

I really didn’t give Squidoo the respect it deserved when I first heard about it. I went to the site, figured out how to creat a lens (just start one, not actually complete it) and then gave up on it. I have no doubt that if I had stuck with it from day one, I’d probably have many, many more affiliate sales to my credit. I lost about eight months or so because I thought it was just another flaky site that wouldn’t amount to much. Was I ever wrong.

There’s actually people earning more, much more on Squidoo alone, than I make working my full-time ‘real’ job. That’s pretty impressive.

One thing that you’re see very often is that many (most ?) people recommend using Squidoo in combination with another site that has a sales page or other products that will generate the sales (or at presales). The fact is, Squidoo alone is enough to rank high (very high) in the search engines, and doesn’t require other sites to support it.

Of course if you write articles and link to your lenses, or link from a blog or other sites, it will help tremendously in generating traffic to your lens.

If you don’t want to start from scratch, there is a great product that will help you tremendously in all aspects of Squidoo. It’s Secret Squidoo Cash Machine. It has a money back guarantee, so if you try it and it doesn’t satisfy your expectations, just return it for a refund of you money.

Don’t overlook Squidoo!!

Making Money Online w/o Spending Much to Get Started

I got a kinda funny email yesterday from some girl (Linda, I’m not making fun of you, I just liked your approach!).

She said she had decided she was going to work from home because she didn’t like the job she had now. The only requirements were, that she didn’t want to spend any money to get started, and she had to be making at least as much (within one month!), as she was now on here present job! It was about $25,000/year.

manwithmoney-2209960

I searched high and low, but I must have misplaced my magic-money-making link.

We ended up talking via IMs, and I told her that I had been doing marketing online, in a very lazy sort of way, for almost a year, and I wasn’t making that much yet. The problem with all of this is, I have no doubt, zero, that if I had actually worked, really worked, even half of the time that I was online, I could be making a very good income from my efforts. So it is there for anyone willing to put forth the effort.

Anyway, this wasn’t about me. She said that the last person she had talked to recommended (5) five different products or services that she needed to buy in order to make a decent income from her Internet Marketing. Actually, all of the products that she mentioned were products and services, like Web Hosting, that I would have recommended too. They were some of the ones that I know to be worth their cost. They would have definitely made her job faster and easier.

However, when I mentioned that some people will recommend anything and everything sometimes because they’re earning a commission on all the sales, she seemed to be shocked. You would have thought someone had held a gun to her head and was trying to rob her. That’s just the way it (usually) works. There are some good people around that I’ve emailed for help, that went out of their way to help me, but it’s not always the same with everyone.

To make a long post shorter, I guess it’s too late for that, I ended up telling her that if you willing to work, I honestly believe anyone, anyone can earn a decent income…even a very good income, from Internet Marketing, without spending more than just a few dollars per month. I guess the bottom line is-regardless of how much money you spend, if you’re not willing to put in some work, you’re better off not getting started. If you’re willing to work, and spend a little money, you can make things much easier on yourself.

Obviously if you’re willing to spend a little more you can make it a lot easier on yourself. I would say that getting a decent Web Hosting account is probably the best money that you can spend, initially at least. I’ve still just got two shared hosting accounts after almost a year ( 1 is obvuisly enough), and I really don’t need to upgrade yet. I’m using Bluehost and Hostgator and could honestly recommend either.

You can get an account for less than $10/month!! If you can’t, or don’t won’t to spend even ten bucks per month, I would seriously consider not even trying to get into Affiliate Marketing. You can start a blog totally free of cost at Blogger.com or a few other places, but a hosting account gives you the freedom to do so much more too. You’ll also, out of necessity, become proficient at FTP (file transfer protocol), and many other of the things that will eventually enable you to do anything that’s ever needed in order to maintain your online business.

If you’re totally new to everything Interent, I’d think about getting someone to help you get started. Probably most people aren’t though, and seeing how cutting and pasting is one of the most complicated activities that’s required, I think Internet Marketing is the best opportunity for many people to earn a living from home, without having significant startup capital, or even a technical background.

So, if you’re ready to do a lot of reading-a LOT. Get a shared hosting account with Bluehost or Hostgator, then prepare to do your homework. The only other necessary expense will be your domain(s), but if you just start building a single site (recommended), it’s another nearly insignificant expense.

Everything (as far as information) that you could possibly need (or probably want) is available for free somewhere online. Get real used to Google, you’ll be using it a lot.

The bottom line is this…you’re wanting to find just a small ‘niche’ that you can become very competitive in, hopefully even dominate. If it’s something that you really like or have a lot of knowledge on, so much the better. Just research any niche that you’re considering to become active in. I’ve seen people making serious money in tiny niches that I would never have considered. Those are the ones that can make you a lot of money, sometimes very quickly and for a very long time. Just make sure the traffic (and products or services) is there before you start promoting anything.

One other thing-if you want to make it a little easier on yourself, I’d consider trying to find a good, stable, long-term niche. By that I mean something that isn’t just a quick fad that’s hot for a week and then it’s totally dead. Some people make a lot of money jumping on the profitable ‘fad’ niches, but you have to be quick and able to get your site/ads in front of a lot of eyes quickly. I definitely wouldn’t advise it if you’re just starting out.

Also, if you’re wanting to get started on the cheap, I wouldn’t even remotely think about trying PPC (pay per click) advertising. Again, there’s a lot of people that have, and continue to make huge profits, but it’s not for the beginner. I’ve made a few dollars here and there, but the bottom line is…I’ve lost overall, and that’s all that matters.

Oh, in trying to do things will  the least expenditure possible, I would recommend a WordPress site. WordPress is free with Hostgator or Bluehost, and is an idiot-proof installation using Fantastico, it’s part of your cPanel within your hosting account. With all the many free themes and plugins available, you can have your WordPress site looking nearly any way you want.

My most productive site to date is a WordPress site that I setup using the phpBayPro plugin. The ‘pro’ version of the plugin isn’t free though, but it definitely works if you’ve done your homework on finding a profitable niche.

Some products and services that I can recommend just to get started are:

Google Keyword Tool (free)

SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool (free)

WordPress (free w/ Bluehost or Hostgator accounts)

Clickbank Account (for products to promote) (free)

Affiliate Networks for Products to Promote (free signup) (Many links on this page, Commission Junction, NeverblueAds, Linkshare and Pepperjam to name a few)

WordPress Goldmine (this isn’t a free one, but if you want to get the most from WordPress in the shortest time possible, it’s a good one)

Other than those to help you get started, remember that Google, Yahoo, MSN and some of the other search engines will be your best friend to get you to the information that you’ll need. It’s all out there, most of it free. It’s just a matter of doing it.
