I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while now because I see so many internet marketers with potential gold mine web sites at their disposal but they just aren’t using their assets effectively!

In this article, I’m going to tell you the strategy for making money online – and believe me it’s not rocket science, but it does take a bit of hard work and dedication to pull it off.

Making Money Online is a Skill That Can Be Learned

The thing about making money online is this – hundreds of thousands of people do it every single day…The process is tried and tested.  There is no need to reinvent the wheel.

Back in the early days (in the mid to late 90′s) when internet marketing was far less mainstream it was a much more trial and error process to make money online.  People like Tom Hua and Brett McFall (creators of the World Internet Summit) were spending day and night trying to figure out how to make money online.  They had no previous reference point, nobody to turn to who had done it and “got the T-shirt”.  These guys were the pioneers.

But today, the online money making system is far from new…All we need to do is take the time to learn the system and then implement it – that’s it!  If people spent less time looking for “opportunities” and more time going back to basics and learning the way that all the top online marketers generate their income then they would have far more success.

So, What is the Online Money Making System?

Now, before I get into this section, there are most certainly many ways to skin a cat.  The way I’m about to teach you is one that will provide most security, is widely used by all the top marketers and involves building your own online assets…

So here’s the system:-

1. Find a hungry market of people.  Please note, we are not looking for a product at this stage, just a hungry market of people who have a problem they want solving.
2. Create a web site.  This can be a blog, a one page web site (otherwise known as a squeeze page) a wiki – it doesn’t really matter what the site is.
3. Build an email list.  Using the site that you’ve just built, try to get targeted prospects onto your email list.
4. Build up a relationship with your list by sending your subscribers lots of valuable information.
5. Find products that genuinely help subscribers overcome their problems and promote the products for a commission (or you can create your own and take the full whack)
6. Optimize the system so that it converts highly and then focus your time and energy on driving traffic to the web site.

And that’s really all there is to it in a nutshell.

What Does This Mean to You?

This means that if you’re a complete beginner, don’t know how to build a web site and are completely new to this business then you’ll need to either learn the skills or outsource the tasks at sites like http://www.elance.com.  If you already have a web site that’s getting traffic, then it may just be a case of analysing your profit funnel…

And what do I mean by that?

Well, the 7 figure incomes are generated by internet marketers who understand that the real money is in creating a full fledged profit funnel of products that range from low end to high end.  Now in some niches you have to be creative to set up a fully fledged profit funnel, but in many of the competitive wealth and self improvement niches it is often very easy to find products ranging from $37 ebooks right up to $2997 coaching programs.

Let me assure you that when you start promoting (or offering your own) high ticket items in your profit funnel, that’s when you’ll notice a huge change to your bottom line income.

The Main Reason People Fail

It all comes down to the mindset and failure to stick to any given strategy.  The strategy that I’ve just given you in this article is a tried and tested, proven strategy.  But many people will still not see it through to completion.  They will stick at if for a few weeks, start to get disappoint when sales don’t flood in immediately and give up.

Don’t be that person…

If there’s one thing you should take from reading this article, it’s this: your mindset is your most valuable wealth creation weapon.  Put yourself in an abundant frame of mind, provide value, help people solve problems and the wealth will flow to you.

Focus on the wealth from the beginning and you’re pretty much dead before you’ve even begun.

The Single Most Important Rule To Making Money Online is a post from: SmartBloggerz - Blogging Tips & Make Money Online Tips

To make money online, you need a product or service to sell or market. The product or service can either be yours or the one you are an affiliate of. The products or services should be related to what your website or blog is all about.

The money in other people pocket or bank account is yours only if you provide them a product or service. You not only need a product or service to sell, market or promote, you need the people that will buy the product or service you have for sale.

This is where traffic comes into play. No matter the nature of product or service you sell, people needs to know about it. They also need to buy the service or products before you can make money.

The truth is traffic=money. If you know how to drive traffic to your website/blog/sales page, you won’t have a problem in making money online. Online marketers know how efficient traffic is to their businesses. If there is anything you need to know how to do; that is how to drive traffic to your blog.

There are various ways by which you can drive traffic to your blog/website/sales page. Out of all these, only few are really efficient. One of the efficient methods for driving targeted traffic is by using YouTube.

Almost everyone who uses internet knows that YouTube is a video site. You can use YouTube to get the necessary traffic you need to make money online.

You don’t have to make videos before you can drive traffic from YouTube. If you can’t make videos, be rest assured that you can still drive traffic from YouTube successfully.

You should know that YouTube is all about number of views a video receives. People watch videos a lot on YouTube. The views equal people clicking the link in the description box beneath the video. This in essence leads traffic to the website/blog/sales page that is stated in the description box.

Imagine if you have a website/blog/sales page that gets like 3,000 views per day from YouTube to your product or service, which will definitely have impact on your finance. You will be making a lot of money daily.

How’s That Possible?

I know you are asking, how can that be possible? No videos no views. Yes you are right. No views without video. Imagine all you will need to do if you are to make videos. To save you from all that, imagine if you could just find a video that is exactly related to whatever you were selling. You will see many on YouTube, go for the ones that has many views. All you need to do after this is to stick your link in the description box beneath the video.

Oh oh…that is awesome. This will get you free traffic per day. You might think this is illegal and that you can’t do it. Let me explain.

1. Find a video related to your product/service
2. Contact the owner of the video
3. Negotiate with the person and buy their YouTube account or the rights for that particular video
4. Put your link in the description box

This is how simple it is. The accounts are not expensive to buy. You get them cheap compared to what you will gain from putting your link in the description box.

One other thing is that. You won’t get the accounts instantly. You will need a couple of days for the video owner to agree with you. Even some of them don’t reach an agreement with you. That does not mean you should stop. Keep doing this method. The numbers of video owners that will agree with you are more than those that will not agree.

How Do You Find The Videos

1. Look for videos related to your product/service that has no less than 50, 000 views.
2. You must make sure that the video is still relevant till tomorrow. Ignore outdated videos. Use the analytics that is given below each video.
3. The videos must not have links in their description box.
4. You need to choose videos that do not appear to be a way of monetizing the video owner’s youtube channel.
5. Contact the owner and bargain with them. Let them know who you are and that you want to buy their YouTube account. (NOTE: You don’t have to force them to sell the account. They need to be interested before they can sell their YouTube account.)
6. After agreement is made, go ahead and add your link (preferably a link to your sales page or your affiliate link).

For example, if your product/service or your affiliated product/service costs $30 and you make at least 3 sales daily based on the traffic you derived from YouTube. That means you are making $90 daily. That’s $2,700 a month all from one video with about 30 minutes work. Isn’t this worthwhile?

Now go ahead and make money online with YouTube. You can do it. If you have any question you want to be answered, please ask them using the comment box below. I’ll sure answer them effectively. Thanks…

Online money making has emerged as one of the largest searched terms on the web in the last few years. And it is quite obvious. The rising standards of living all around the world and the growing awareness about the internet has made it possible to earn handsome income sitting at home.

And the channel that has been most popular to earn this much cash sitting at home in front of their computer is blogging. The way blogging has caught attention of the people all around the world has been remarkable. Last few years have seen the rise of many full time bloggers and in spite of this much competition, their income is always increasing. But its not possible for every one to have their own blog because of money and time constraints. But still there are ways through which you can make money even if you do have your own blog.

There are lots of other opportunities for who ever have talent and desire to succeed. Let’s look at them below.

Become A Paid Writer

This is one of the easiest ways to make money. But it is easy only when you have exceptional writing talent. There are unlimited opportunities available for those who write well. People and companies are continuously looking for content writers, editors and community moderators. Digital Point Forum is one such place where you can find huge writing opportunities that suit you and your area & style of writing. You do not need any blog and the complications that come with it. Just register yourself, start writing and collect cash.

Become A Co-Author Or Blog Editor

There are many people who can write but they do not have time to pay attention to other aspects of blogging such as designing, monetization, plugins etc. For these people, multi author blogs are the best option. You register with these blogs and write continuously. Your efforts could also help you become the editor of the blog and take part in the administration of the blog. Moreover, the icing on the cake is that if you are writing on an Adsense revenue sharing blog and you have your own Adsense publisher id; the added Adsense income is a complete bonus.

Take Part In Guest Blogging Contests

The way guest posting has overcome the other free methods of traffic generation and blog promotion is laudable. Although, some may disagree that you have to sacrifice one of your best posts for this, the traffic that it sends to your blog is incomparable.

And these days, there are lots of bloggers holding guest blogging contest at their blog and offering unbelievable cash prizes and other stuff. While most of the things are relevant for bloggers, the cash prizes are truly awesome. All you need to do is to find a guest blogging contest in a niche that you like and feel comfortable with, post good quality content regularly, complete the formalities you need to enter the contest and wait for the result.

IN THE END

If you do not have a blog, it does not mean that your chances of earning online are nil. On the contrary, the above mentioned ways can get you money from the onset where as the blogging takes time. So think about what you are capable of and get set go.

3 Ways To Make Handsome Money Online Without Your Own Blog is a post from: SmartBloggerz - Blogging Tips & Make Money Online Tips

I’m pretty sure you are familiar with how online list building works. Visitors reach your squeeze page or blog, and they are offered a freebie in exchange for their email address.

In today’s article I want to share with you a powerful tip, that when applied, can help boost your opt-in rate and hence your overall profits.

The tip is:

When you offer your freebie to visitors, make sure that your freebie is in the form of a “COMPLETED” report/ebook, audio, or video that is delivered immediately at ONE GO rather than a series of e-courses spread over several days or weeks.

Why?

Instant Results

First of all, we humans want instant results and therefore expect instant access to information. We don’t want to wait 7 days to discover how to lose that fat belly. We want to know how to do that NOW. Not tomorrow or 7 days later, but NOW.

People are getting busier by the day. It seems that 24 hours a day is not enough anymore. We don’t have time to sit around for days before knowing how to lose our belly.

INSTANT is the new word today.

Interests Change

Secondly, if you deliver your freebie over the course of several days, people might not be interested in your freebie anymore. Not because your freebie suddenly loses its value, but because their interests change.

Today they are very interested in how to play golf. Tomorrow might be a different story and their interests might have shifted to tennis.

When visitors arrive on your website (squeeze page or blog), they are interested in your subject NOW. Make sure you capitalize on this and make your freebie offer a “COMPLETED” freebie that they can instantly download and consume at ONE GO.

Perceived Value

Thirdly, a completed freebie has a higher perceived value than a 7-day e-course since it’s already completed. A 7-day e-course is not yet complete until seven days later.

Not Read

Fourthly, your 7-day e-course might not be completely read by its recipients.

Okay, so you send an email per day for the next 7 days, with each email containing your e-course. Some of them might go to the spam/bulk folder, or the recipients might be too busy engaging in other more important tasks that they hadn’t had the chance to open your one or more of your emails (which contain the e-course).

So far we’ve talked about freebie offers (that relate to squeeze pages). To make this article more complete, here are a few online list building tips you can use to boost your opt-in rate when creating your squeeze page or opt-in form that resides on your blog:

1. Use The Word “INSTANT” and “FREE”

“INSTANT” is pretty self-explanatory like what I’ve just explained above. “FREE” because everyone likes free stuff (who wouldn’t?).

You are a stranger to your new visitors. In this day and age nobody trusts strangers, especially online strangers who hide behind computers.

You need to take their risk away from them and a good way to do that is to give away your VALUABLE report/audio/video at no charge.

2. Use A BIG Opt-In Form & A BIG Subscribe Button

Size does matter. You want to make your opt-in form and subscribe button BIG so that they are noticeable and stand out from the rest of your page.

3. Above The Fold

As cliché as it sound, you want to position your opt-in form above the fold so that visitors landing on your site can immediately see it without having to scroll down their mouse.

4. Consider Asking For Email Only

You should get a slight boost in opt-in rate when you do NOT require visitors to enter their name in the opt-in form. The one and only thing they need to do is enter their email and they can immediately get the freebie.

The fewer steps you ask your visitors to take, the higher your opt-in conversion rate.

What do you say about online list building by offering an immediate download rather than a 7-day e-course? I’d like to hear your thoughts…

Making Money Online with resale rights products is quite simple as you don’t have to spend time and create products to sell. Rather you have to sell products created by other people in the way you want by acquiring the resale rights of that product.

It’s just like affiliate marketing where you promote a product and earn an affiliate commission. But when you have acquired the resale rights of that product, then you don’t have to rely on any kind of commission. You get full cash in your pocket.

Here you can learn about the process involved in making money online with resale rights products while sipping a beer(parents discretion is required if you are below 18  ) or listening to music.

1. Domain Name And Website: The first thing to do is to get yourself a domain name and a complete website that describes the kind of business that you want to do. Make sure that the domain name is cool and snazzy while maintaining an official decorum. Stay away from free web hosting as it does not provide the necessary confidence to purchase your own products.
2. Buy Products With Resale Rights: The most common resale rights products are usually digital products like software and eBooks. The most fascinating part about this is that you don’t have to crack your head worrying about having enough stock. As these products are digital products your customers can keep downloading these products while the actual product remains the same without getting diminished. The other worries that you can wipe off are storage and packaging. Again, usage of digital products proves advantageous. The most attractive feature of digital products is their ease of use and the fact that all the users can access it without any effort.
3. Arrange A Way To Collect Payments: The best thing to do here is to get a payment processor which will collect credit card payments online. This money is then credited to your account instantly without any delay. This saves you a trip to the bank to deposit your cheques. Using PayPal directly or eJunkie could be helpful for this.
4. Update Your Website: Since there is not much customer interaction, you need to bank on your website to do the talking for you. That is why it is imperative that you update your sales pages and thank you pages for your products. As almost all products today come with a pre-designed sales page and thank you page you will have no problem in setting this up. Once this is done make sure you put up your payment link at the bottom of the page and start taking orders.

Some Other Beneficial Uses Of Resale Rights Products:

• Attract traffic to your website
• Collect e-mail address for email marketing by giving away products for free
• Engage first time visitors and tell them about the USP of the product. Follow up on visitors who have not purchased on their first visit.
• Use it to bribe readers to participate in any kind of contest or something.

Apart from these the other uses of resale rights products can be summed up as

• If you were planning on doing business earlier, you would have needed office space, a secretary and other things which would have burrowed a deep hole in your pocket. Now all this can be avoided and your only investment is buying a computer, getting an internet connection and getting your website done.
• Since you will be working from home you can work at any time you want
• On the internet you need not worry about stepping onto someone else’s territory. The world is your oyster and you can make a lot of money in it. Take it slowly but once you have setup your business you are limited only by your imagination.
• If you are a family person, this kind of job is perfect for you. You can miss out on waiting in the traffic or getting stuck in the elevator as you will be given the freedom of spending your time as and how you like.
• Simply put, once you buy the rights for that particular product it becomes yours and you can use it anyway you see fit.

The general definition of a student all around the world is same – a child who studies. Their daily routine comprises of going to school/college and completing assignments related to your subjects. Normally, a student’s life is considered boring because he do not have much to do except studying and securing good marks.

But in this era of modernization and materialism, students need extra money to live their life and so they are indulging in part time jobs. And lot of them has opted for blogging. I personally feel that blogging is the best part time business for any student. There are lots of positives in blogging which can compliment your all round performance.

Here are the top 5 reasons why a student should go for blogging if he/she is thinking of a part time job:

1. Very Little Investment - Blogging does not require huge investment. If you are passionate or very knowledgeable about something (cricket, technology, commerce, environment etc.) and can spare an hour or two and Rs 200 per month from your pocket money, you can easily start a blog with own hosting and domain. My blog, BloggersPassion, just cost me Rs. 1000 per year. You need to do hard work in the beginning and after that, life will become easy for you as a blogger.
2. Work At Your Own Leisure – The major problem with students is the time. They have to adjust their schedule for other jobs. But for blogging, you can work when you want. Late at night or early in the morning; it’s entirely your choice. You decide the work hours and effort without anyone’s supervision.
3. Great Boost In Resume - If you will mention in your resume that as a student, you are into serious blogging and are successful; that will be a strong point in your hobbies or extra curricular activities and will surely impress the Human Resource Department, thereby increasing your chances of being selected.
4. Popularity With Knowledge – A successful blog can get you fame more than topping your examinations and you can be a popular guy in the college. Blogging is not considered a common activity in India and a blogger is bound to receive huge compliments, but only if his blog is successful and recognized. If you fail, then you will be ignored and labeled as just another internet psycho.
5. Huge Returns – Nothing could be better in a student’s life than earning an extra few hundred bucks. Blogging can fetch you lot of them and if you consider the fact that every thing is earned in US dollars and the conversion rate of USD to INR is quite good, an extra amount of Rs. 4000 would be too much to say. This is enough money to take care of your EXTRA EXPENSES (I hope you get them).

Internet has become easily accessible for everyone in India and starting an own blog in blogosphere is not a distant dream anymore. The right approach, a creative mind and a passion to succeed can get you laurels and cash that you always dreamt for.

5 Reasons Why Blogging Is Best Business For Students is a post from: SmartBloggerz - Blogging Tips & Make Money Online Tips

You’ve been working hard on affiliate marketing for more than half a year now but still you have nothing to show for. What are you doing wrong in web marketing? This situation is really frustrating but you should never think about quitting. However, there are some mistakes that you should avoid like a plague and failure to correct these mistakes will only result in a cycle of frustration.

Let’s discuss each one of them…

Lack of Research

First mistake is not spending enough time to research. Many beginners will just pick a hot product thinking that they could ride the wave. They setup their campaigns and wait for months with little or no sales. They’re getting some traffic but the conversion rate is very low.

Why? It’s because they failed to do their research. They didn’t really connect with their niche. Just because the product is hot doesn’t mean that you’ll be able to make money that easily. Every product you promote is profitable but the key is how you connect the dots. It’s how you align the product to the customers.

There are two places that I check out when doing my initial research. Free keyword tools (Google and SEO Book) and the forums where my niche hangs around. You can really learn a lot just by spending a few hours inside forums. You can see what lingo your niche is using and you can use that to really connect with them.

Wrong Mindset

Next mistake that newbies make is not having the right mindset. If you think that you’re not going to be successful with Internet marketing then you’re not going to make it. But if you think otherwise and take some serious action with additional persistence then there’s no question that you’re going to be a profitable Internet marketer. It’s really that simple.

It amazes me that there are still a lot of people who think that there are shortcuts to becoming successful in making money online or in life in general. Internet marketing is not any different from a regular brick and mortar business. You have to put in some serious amount of effort and dedication in order to really see the results that you want.

It’s also important that you distance yourself from negative thinking people. It’s guaranteed that you’re going to encounter them once you’re doing this make money online stuff. This business becomes increasingly hard when your family are the ones who are pulling you down. I’m not telling you to shut your family or spouse out but I would suggest that you explain to them how everything works. If they still don’t get it then it’s fine, just keep working on your business. Many people don’t know how affiliate marketing works that’s why they’re so skeptical about it.

Not Taking Action and Not Sticking to a Game plan

Last is not taking any action and not sticking to a game plan. I’ve read that analytical and intelligent individuals are the ones who are having a hard time with Internet marketing. Why? It’s because they think a lot and they over analyze everything. They never get to a point where they really do something because they’re frozen with all of their questions and excuses.

There are also those who do take action but quickly jump to another product because they didn’t get any sales from using their previous method. The thing is if you’re using a free promotional method like article marketing then it will definitely take a few weeks up to a few months before you even get some results. Now if you have some budget you can come up with quick results by paying for traffic. But you have to be really careful because you can waste a lot of money if you don’t know what you’re doing.

At The End…

These are some of the dreaded mistakes that beginners should avoid. I’m convinced that if beginners would just take the time to research their niche, bring positive vibes to their campaigns and just stick to one promotional method they will have more positive results with their marketing efforts.

It would be great if you can also share your mistakes so we can also learn from them. I’m sure these 3 are not the only ones. Looking forward to your comments.

3 Biggest Mistakes That Newbie Affiliate Marketers Make is a post from: SmartBloggerz - Blogging Tips & Make Money Online Tips

When scouring the internet for ways to make free money online, you may run into some really weird programs.  Generally, these programs are dismissed without a second thought because it is hard to believe that someone would actually pay for something like that.

When you do find a weird program,make it is always a good idea to do a little research before joining to make sure that you are not about to be scammed.  This is a list of five weird ways to make money online that are, believe it or not, viable…

ONE: Mock Trials

There are several websites that will pay you to participate in mock trials.  These trials are simulations of an actual case that a lawyer wants to present.  These lawyers want to test out their presentation to a large group of people within a certain demographic to determine whether their argument is convincing.

These trials generally take about an hour to complete and you can get paid anywhere from $10 to $60.  Don’t think you can make a full time living from this though.  Trials only come along once in a blue moon.  These programs cost the lawyers approximately $2,000, so there really isn’t a backlog of trials you can partake in.  It is a good way to make some extra money every couple of months though.  You can increase your chances of landing a trial by signing up for several of these programs.

TWO: Paid Online Surveys

There is a lot of skepticism around paid online surveys.  This is because many so called survey websites are scams.  In their terms of service, they will place a stipulation that you must make an enormous amount of money before you will be paid.  There are some reputable survey sites out there though.

It is always important to do a little research before you join one.  You don’t want to waste your time on a site that doesn’t deliver.  These sites exist to provide large companies with marketing research.  Marketing research is expensive and valuable data for any industry.

THREE: Playing Games

This has to be a joke right?  Wrong.  Some website will actually pay you to play game on their site.  This is how they attract visitors.  They can do this because they make much more money on advertising than what they are giving you.  Generally you can only earn pennies on these sites because you are just playing games.  It sounds ridiculous, but it is a reality.

FOUR: Answering Questions

Are you really good at Jeopardy?  Well, if you are, you can make a couple cents for every question you answer on sites like Cha Cha.  Again, you won’t get rich this way, but it is a good way to earn a couple of extra bucks a day if you are quick.  Sites like this are perfect for the know-it-alls.

{Admin NOTE} : You can also give a try Mahalo. It has a section called “Mahalo Tasks” which is just like Yahoo! Answers but you get paid here for answering questions. You will get some X “Mahalo Dollars” if the person who have asked the question found your answer helpful. Once you have collected 150 “Mahalo Dollars” then you can cash out. 1 Mahalo Dollar = $0.75 which will be paid via PayPal.

FIVE: Social Bookmarking

Social Bookmarking is something that you can actually make some decent income on.  All you need to do is provide a link to a website or article, write a short description on it, and watch the money roll in.  You will have to create a lot of bookmarks before you see some decent money from it.  It is recommended to join several of these sites to increase your earning potential.  This is also a good way to promote some of your own articles or website pages.

{Admin NOTE} : Give a try to BlogEngage Revenue sharing if you are looking forward to make money online through this way.

At The End...

There are hundreds of ways to make free money online, but these are some of the strangest.  You can’t make a ton of money with these methods, but they can be pretty fun once in a while.  The trick to determining whether a site is worth joining is whether it will seem like work to you.  If it sounds like fun, and isn’t a scam, there is no harm in playing along.

Do let me know your opinions on these weird ways of making money online. Do you some more weird ways to make money online?
