The Question everyone is asking:
How can I make money online?
Everyone has heard about the scams and rubbish on the internet, but the good stuff is always kept under raps. This is usually because the internet "gurus" who are making all this money don't want to share their so called secrets unless you pay them 1000s of dollars for it. I make roughly $1000 a month, its not a lot but it's constantly growing and will hopefully become a full time income soon. In this blog, and over different chapters I will write about what I use to do this and the methods that work and the methods that really should be avoided! I will also show you how to make £1 or £10,000 monthly.
Chapter 1: Affiliate marketing - Module 1:
In terms of online money making, Affiliate marketing is everything. It is the big and small of making money online. If you have 1000s to spend on Pay Per Click (PPC) and you have a huge email list, you can be looking at literally millions a month. If like me you don't you can still pick up a few extra bucks a month. In this blog I am going to imagine you have under $5 to spend on your making money online schemes. So lets begin!
Firstly, You can do it! I have spoken to thousands of people about the whole making money online, without a website and starting from scratch and the one theme that is continuous is that people do not believe in themselves. They try to hide it behind saying there all scams. But eventually they all say "I can't do it" This statement annoys me! I got my first $100 online when I was 16! I was reasonably clever but got a "D" for English! And my first commission came from writing an article! If you don't believe in yourself you may as well quit now! - Think of it like a sport. If I get onto the 100m track and know I can beat someone, then I will win!
Okay, that was deep, lets get to the ins and outs of chapter 1 which is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing if you don't know is selling someone else's product for them, and taking commission. Now if you are following my blog to the letter what I recommend you do now is sign up Amazons affiliate site this is free and easy to sign up to, This is a site where you promote Amazons products and take a 5% commission.
I am going to tell you why I don't like Amazons affiliate program. - You sell a DVD that you wrote an article review about how good it was. This took you 10mins, you promoted it for another 20mins so your total work was 30mins. 1 Person brought this DVD via your link. You receive commission, how much - 5% of a £10 or $15 DVD that's 50p or 75c that is not good enough! On the other hand if you use my methods such as promote a £500 or $800 TV, and promote it in the ways I explain below you can be looking at £25 or $40 commission for 30mins work, which is more than most peoples wage: Well $50 for an hours work!
My recommendation: Don't promote anything under £100 or $150, as then commissions decrease too much!
My advise to get customers to buy your product you are promoting, this is how I make £50 a week for a month in 6 easy steps, from the Amazon affiliate programme:
1.) Choose two products that are over £100 selling price. These must be linked, i.e. Desktop and Laptop.
2.) Write two separate reviews or information articles about these products. It doesn't matter if you think you cannot write, just use information for the selling page. But don't just copy and paste it!
3.) Upload these two articles to ezine articles and 2 other article directory sites. It may take up to 7 days for these to get accepted.
4.) Once accepted, copy the URL of your articles and find 3 forums about gadgets/ what you are promoting and write a short comment on each with your URL in the comment.
5.) Make a video using camtasia screen recording software, it's free and allows you to record whatever is on your screen. Make a video review about it.
6.) Wait one week and you should have at least 2 sales. (I did all of these steps and my worst results ever was 2 sales!)
