When you are looking how to make money online, it's
easy to get lost in the staggering volumes of "expert"
advice and "must have" information.
So you need to snap out of it for a while and look at just one
thing... the most basic and most important requirement
for successful marketing online.
You need to know what it is if you don't already so here it is...
If you want to make money from marketing on the internet,
you MUST have a website where you can show people what
you are marketing and why you recommend it and you MUST
have a system to manage your contacts and send information
and follow-up letters.
In other words...
Getting you own marketing system in place is really your first
step it is essential and not having one is like trying to go for a
walk with no shoes on.
Yes we can all walk without shoes but how far will we get
before we hurt ourselves and how difficult is the process of
walking without any shoes.
It should be obvious to everyone that you must set up your
marketing system before you start marketing, and yet most
people never understand or get round to doing it. That's one
of the major reasons why most people never make success
or profit on the internet.
If you just advertise other peoples programs that you are
joining and don't get your own website you are wasting your
time because without having your own website and you own
automated marketing system to build your own business, you
are fighting a losing battle.
There are plenty of statistics to prove that it's nearly
impossible to make money on the internet if you advertise
affiliate links directly instead of recommending the programs
and priming your potential customers on your own website.
Where you encourage your visitors join your list instead of
somebody else's and just giving them away to grow your
bosses business.
Yes I used the word boss because essentially without your own
website or marketing system your just working for somebody
else's benefit ultimately.
The good news is that it is EASY to get your own website
and marketing system... in fact it couldn't be easier.
Take a look at this website below for instance,
http://www.angelfire.com/oh3/mychildhood/
this website at the time of writing was number #1 for the search
childhood toys. It is a site hosted for free on a sub domain it
doesn't make the person who built it any money because they
haven't designed it to do so but it could if they wanted.
The point is this site is number #1 on a free sub domain so does
not cost the person who built it any money.
Here's another one that is more interesting it comes up as number
#2 on a Google search for (draw cars easy step by step) at the
time of writing.
http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-draw-cars-easy--step-by-step
This is on a free sub domain and gets a significant amount of traffic
over 2000 views a month and makes a little money nearly everyday.
The work was done and except for replying to people who post
comments it requires no more work on the builders part ever.
This is the bottom line to make money you need a website and a
marketing system but it doesn't have to cost you any money.
Don't keep putting it off, thinking "I will just get some
money from these programs, THEN I'll build my own website".
IT NEVER HAPPENS!
Get started now building your own your own business not
somebody else's if you want to know how to make money online.

Steve Byrne a real nice guy who is an advocate of the over drawn analogy.
There is only so much money in the cash point and when it’s gone you have to wait till they fill it up again if you go over drawn then it will have to be paid back.

Make money online , where to start and why. - No comment (Add comment)
Make money online with traffic generation, if you can get it, you can sell anything just take a good look on Ebay to see what I mean. There are two ways to get it, pay for it or earn it, in both cases you will need to put some effort in, paid for or not. The easiest way to learn how to utilize and set up paid traffic is by taking the free or earned approach as I like to call it because if it doesn't work it will only cost your time but if you paid for it then it cost money as well. Remember this; in both cases you will need to put some effort in, paid for or not so why not l-earn the easy way first without costing and arm or a leg.
There are many, many ways to get earned traffic but do they work let me be completely honest here there is lots of rubbish out here. I would only buy Paid to Read emails to try and save a few souls from wasting there time, they are only good for finding newbies.
Manual Traffic Exchanges are fine if you only want to spend a couple of hours everyday clicking for hits to your site from people doing the same as you, working hard at not buying your offer. I have had some success with these exchanges when giving away free memberships, tools or information but even an hour a day clicking for hits is too much.
There are many online schemes for list building but to be honest they only make a list for the owner, most of these services allow you to email your list one or two times a week yet the owners will email you every day sometimes more. I wouldn't waste my time with online list building schemes unless I owned the scheme but even then I am not sure it would be worth it I see them as purely spam traps where everybody spams each other with stuff you don't want.
Safe list advertising works if you want to build something but be honest about it remember this? When people do safe list advertising they have two email addresses, one to receive good email and another to receive emails from the list which is emptied once a week, I said emptied not read. Safe lists can also be depressing when you send an email out to eighty thousand emails and not one single person opens your email or takes your offer it feels depressing but that happens a lot, credit based safe lists are a lot more successful.
I could go on but there is very little point because when you join any of these types of schemes you are only helping the owners to get traffic you are not actually helping yourself plus doing this is also de-motivating and the failure pushes you mentally backwards.
The online experience is content driven and the real overall component in marketing anything online is what?
What does all online marketing produce for its existence or survival?
Some would call it information, which it is; others would call it entertainment, which it is and another description would be communication as it all is but a good description would be brain food. So the overall skill to learn is content creation because that is the brain food everybody's looking for, fresh, new, brain food.
The starting point there for must be content creation because you have to publish content for your existence or survival.
It looks like this, traffic is the most important need and you drive it with content so start your business by doing both and learning in a safe environment where others can support you.
Make money online with content and drive traffic with content derived from your new developing skills.

Make money online an account. - No comment (Add comment)
The process of how to make money online is as easy as this, you get people to look at what your offering and encourage them to buy it, this process is the same online or off. There are an infinite number of products to buy or sell on the Internet so finding something should not be that difficult, the difficult part to selling online is finding the people to buy your products from you.
So the real truth is this, it's not really about making money or selling products it's more about finding people and turning them into customers.
It is not difficult to do this but you do have to make an effort to get it done and how long it will take is mostly down to how much effort you are prepared to make in doing this.
The basic principle is you put a web page up somewhere online and find ways to send people to that page. They see your offer, they buy it or they don't, now depending on what it is you're trying to offer will depend on what happens next but they will either stay or they will go. It really is that simple so don't make it too complicated because it does not have to be honestly.
There are hundreds of ways to do this but the sad fact is they don't work very well if at all in many cases so you need to know what does and doesn't work to get you traffic plus it needs to be free at least while your learning.
I am happy to say that unlike when I started three years ago there are sites now that are free to join, help you to learn, offer opportunities to make you some extra income, provide lots of help and information but do not rip you off. Plus they help you get traffic and links to other sites that you can add to help you make money online with less effort and they will pay you for helping yourself, in the long run how good is that?

Make money online, do you know? - No comment (Add comment)
There are many millions of people who want to to make money online and it is a number that is actually growing day by day. The information age and the Internet is an exponentially growing industry that will continue for decades to come it has limitless possibilities and can provide an unstoppable income force.
What you focus on grows if you take a long term approach to your efforts and this approach has enabled many business owners to become healthy, wealthy and wise.
It is widely know that by providing people with the best quality information for free sometimes might not pay in the short term but always pays big dividends in the long term.
The problem is most people don't of course realize that taking the long-term approach to helping and serving their customers is really the short-term approach. In many cases it is a sad fact that most are taking advantage of each other trying to make a quick buck.
Sadly that's all they really do is make a buck because hopefully sooner rather than later we all get to realize when someone else is trying to pull a fast one and cheat us.
The make money online niche is riddled with a greed where many want success and rewards but don't want to put in the time or effort to get a better lifestyle in return.
There are many who fall pray to thinking they can pay a small fee and somebody or something will automatically deposit money into there account for doing nothing and there are those praying on them who are only making short term gains as well.
It's the perfect match if you think about it?
The greedy Internet marketer meets the greedy Internet wanna be and on and on it goes.
They are all losers and often I think they deserve all they get but it's still a sad fact that just doesn't sit right with me because it a shame.
So many trusting people fall prey to the instant wealth, make money online story believing that all they have to do is pay the fee and somehow the riches will be automatically deposited in their accounts without them needing to do anything in return.
Honestly to get something out you have to put something in and when you do, not only does it pay but you feel good about it as well. I don't know why but it seems to me that when you work hard at getting something the success feels that much better than if it was handed on a plate.

Lets all make money online. - No comment (Add comment)
I have got some very good news for people wanting to earn some money online or as they say, money talks and am I also, lets all make money online.
Yes you can make money online so after trying out many so called money making scams I turned a corner I stopped trying to make money and diverted my efforts towards making traffic.
As they say good content is what you need for getting traffic so I pointed myself in the direction of a relatively new content management site you might have heard about.
The site is called HubPages and it turns out to be very interesting because not only can I develop content in order to drive traffic I can also make an income for my efforts at the same time. Just in case you are getting confused let me explain this a little differently. I have created eleven HubPages on subjects that interested me to use for directing traffic to other sources of income which I have not even put in place yet. Two of these HubPages are making me an income of around 2 dollars a month 24 dollars a year, not much I agree. The thing is I created these hubs with very little effort and enjoyed the self-satisfaction of being able to say something and put it out to the rest of the world. One of these hubs the last one is a Flagship Hub that I was paid 25 dollars for plus an extra 10 for driving traffic to it by writing a few articles 3 in total all placed on one article site for driving traffic to this page.
Here are my Hubs for you to take a look at, judge for yourself but I think most people are capable of creating hubs of this quality without having to work very hard.

Doing this is not as hard as digging holes in the street plus with time and encouragement it will become a growing potential for a multiple and or residual income stream.
This is how to make money online, the free and the easiest way I know for maximum effect, you could think of it as a World of Warcraft type online game and this is the cheat sheet for those wanting economic growth at a easy relaxed pace.

You can use free web pages to make money online, pages like Squidoo or HubPages will pay you a proportion of the adsense revenues generated on the pages you create. Associated Content is great as well but only if you are living in America because they pay you but you cannot grab contact details with any of these sites. You can use these pages to redirect to other pages where you can grab contact details though.
To grab contact details you need a page where you can add a sign up form that is linked to an auto-responder it also needs to be a double opt-in system. What this means is when the contact signs up with their details you also send them a confirmation email where they have to click a link to confirm that they are who they say they are and have access to the email address used in the transaction.
It is important to grab contact details first because every time a prospect buys something you are giving them away to the owner of the affiliate site if you don’t and that means over a period of time you are losing out big time. It also means you are continually having to get traffic and giving it to them when you should be getting all the benefits because you are doing the work that’s why they get big and you don’t. So you need a system whereby you maximize your outcomes from your efforts by building your business not theirs.
So web pages and auto responders are as important as content you use content on your web pages for delivering static information that can be found with search engines or people who can then be directed to in other pages to gather contact details.
All affiliate sites will encourage you into using their affiliate web page as much as possible they will tell you lies about how much the web pages cost because they want you to use their pages for a number of reasons.
They can control the content, you and your efforts.
They get your customers for repeated sales that you don’t get any part of.
They keep you dependent on them.
Plus another big problem is people remove affiliate links all the time and often you get nothing out of it not even the sale but they do, they get their cut and yours.
What this really amounts to is traffic slavery, working for nothing.
There is a way out of this situation and if your really desperate you can do it for free, ok so it’s not free, nothing is but you won’t be the loser that’s for sure and it will still be your business customers not theirs.

Every time someone goes to it, it grows, every time it grows it becomes more interesting and every time it grows more interesting it attracts more people that make it grow bigger, how mad is that?
How big it’s going to grow I don’t really know because it’s quite small at the moment about 50 pages, all I did to start it off was push a few buttons. Yes I had to do a little work on it like push more than one button maybe 10 or 20 I didn’t count, a little bit of reading and a little bit of patience was all it took.
I don’t care if you don’t buy anything the money is in the traffic.
Look I am not allowed to sell it yet but if you sign up from the front page at:

I will let you know when I can, I am really sorry about this but these guys are making us wait because they are making modifications to it.
Thank you for your time anyway.
Make money online better with a list. - No comment (Add comment)
Only read on if you seriously want to make money online and making your business successful by putting this plan into action you will boost your sales by up to 400%!
Note: Knowledge is power but only if you act upon that Knowledge.
I have found that the best way to use information like this is to print it off, highlight areas and take notes as you learn the steps for building your list to boost sales by up to 400%!
Having a list has got to be one of the very best ways to make money online without a doubt if you don't do this you will be committing financial suicide.
How many times have you been told to build a list and how many times have you ignored that advice? I heard and ignored it thousands of times before I did finally start to build a list.
Have you ever heard this old cliché? "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" well my friend it's time to start drinking because Knowledge is power but only if you act upon that Knowledge.
What I'm talking about in this tutorial is the potential marketing power of an opt-in email list. To most successful people in Internet marketing, this is not really an "undiscovered secret", but if you have not been practising this powerful marketing strategy then, you will be astounded by the possibilities it will provide you. Believe me when I say, you will discover a whole New World of profit once you maximize your opt-in's and present your offers properly.
You may have reservations about asking people for their email addresses, It's very understandable and I had them to. I didn't want people to think that I was invading their privacy because I have become increasingly wary about handing over my details or email addresses to just anyone. I also felt the need to be exchanging something of value because too many times have I been bombarded with rubbish and hype from unscrupulous mind benders.
The truth is you are missing a golden opportunity in those email addresses and many in Internet marketing don't look at it closely and seriously enough. You will learn why your op-in email list is very important to your business and realize the big mistake in not having one.
So many potentially successful businesses are unsuccessful because they do take the time and opportunity to build an opt-in list. These businesses spend a small fortune on driving traffic to their web-sites and opportunities to find very little return for their out lay when they could have been building a list to success.
It's a fact that people don't buy first time round, think about your own behaviour and you will probably realize that you have never bought anything first time round. It is widely believed and accepted that people need to visit and see an offer seven times or more before they buy.
Why collect email addresses?
The main reason for collecting email addresses is to initiate, maintain and develop relationships with potential customers through the electronic permission based systems offered by the Internet. This is the best way to increase your sales and nurture your visitors into being loyal customers that cerate a win, win situation for both parties.
The important reason for collecting email addresses and using them is for establishing an electronic, permission-based, relationship and loyalty with your customers or visitors. It would seem that the practical benefit of collecting email addresses is plain to see, obvious. Yet through conversations with novice marketers it seems that many do not collect emails but when they do they hardly use them. That's a real shame.
Collecting and using e-mail addresses should be a ritual in the Internet based market place. E-mail is so commonplace and universal that its existence and use are many times over looked and also not seen as important. Did you know that?
1. "69 percent of U.S. e-mail users have made purchases online after receiving permission-based e-mail marketing, 59 percent have purchased in retail stores, 39 percent have purchased through catalogs, 34 percent through call centers and 20 percent through postal mail".
2. And, "78 percent of those surveyed say they want to receive e-mail from their favorite online merchants ".
*Source: Doubleclick
If you're not actively collecting opt-in email addresses and using them for marketing purposes you are missing out on important relationship building, credibility enhancing, and advertisement improving possibilities that could translate into more sales! This is your chance to turn one-time visitors into your best customers. If you do not provide a way for visitors and customers to be interested in hearing from you in the future, then you've just lost a potential sales.
Let me explain something about people, I walked into a department store to look for a mobile phone because a friend of mine said they where doing some good deals on Nokia's. I got to the mobile phone stand and a sales rep pounced in front of me saying can I help you sir would you like a great deal on one of our new range of Nokia mobile phones sir. Immediately my back was up and I was feeling uncomfortable and quite angry, yet why, that was what I was doing there, looking for a deal on a Nokia phone?
The answer to that is people do not like to be sold they like to at least feel like they are in control and making their own decisions, they like to feel like they are thinking for them selves and not being controlled.
Now if that sales rep would have left me alone for a few minuets and then stood next to me saying something like that's nice, that one there or these deals are great I'm going to get one my self when I get paid. I would have been more likely to have warmed to him and made conversation eventually buying one instead of telling him that he was ignorant, arrogant and needed better training in sales. Most people don't like being sold they will respond better to encouragement and friendship.
When you build a list you should be doing exactly that and to some extent you will have no choice in the matter because they will stop opening your mails if you apply the hard sell too much.
The one point you should know yourself is that if you try to make people do something even if it's the right thing they will usually not do it and some times they will do the opposite. Another well known Cliché hear to make the point is "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink".
Why do you need to build a list, why is it so important and how will it help?
The Internet is about accessing information and because there is so much information out there it presents a lot of problems for would be advertisers trying to establish a market.
If you have lots of money to spend on advertising then some times it can be easy but not always because even though all advertising works it doesn't always work well. You can spend thousands of dollars on it and see nothing in return because it needs to be targeted to the people looking for your products.
That is why when you build a list you actually draw in like minded people, people who are interested in what you are offering otherwise they will stop looking at your emails.
So by seeking and making regular contact with people you are not only able to identify what they want in order to provide it but you are creating a relationship of respect and trust. This then puts you in a position where you can recommend products to people and they will take you seriously to at least have a good look if not buy. Remember I went to the department store because a friend recommended it as somewhere to get a good deal and if the sale rep had been better at his job he may have sold two phones instead of none.
The other very important reason for building a list is it can cost you mere pennies instead of dollars for fantastic results.
If you want to make money online then you better build your list.
Note: Knowledge is power but only if you act upon that Knowledge.
I have found that the best way to use information like this is to print it off, highlight areas and take notes as you learn the steps for building your list to boost sales by up to 400%!
Having a list has got to be one of the very best ways to make money online without a doubt if you don't do this you will be committing financial suicide.
How many times have you been told to build a list and how many times have you ignored that advice? I heard and ignored it thousands of times before I did finally start to build a list.
Have you ever heard this old cliché? "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" well my friend it's time to start drinking because Knowledge is power but only if you act upon that Knowledge.
What I'm talking about in this tutorial is the potential marketing power of an opt-in email list. To most successful people in Internet marketing, this is not really an "undiscovered secret", but if you have not been practising this powerful marketing strategy then, you will be astounded by the possibilities it will provide you. Believe me when I say, you will discover a whole New World of profit once you maximize your opt-in's and present your offers properly.
You may have reservations about asking people for their email addresses, It's very understandable and I had them to. I didn't want people to think that I was invading their privacy because I have become increasingly wary about handing over my details or email addresses to just anyone. I also felt the need to be exchanging something of value because too many times have I been bombarded with rubbish and hype from unscrupulous mind benders.
The truth is you are missing a golden opportunity in those email addresses and many in Internet marketing don't look at it closely and seriously enough. You will learn why your op-in email list is very important to your business and realize the big mistake in not having one.
So many potentially successful businesses are unsuccessful because they do take the time and opportunity to build an opt-in list. These businesses spend a small fortune on driving traffic to their web-sites and opportunities to find very little return for their out lay when they could have been building a list to success.
It's a fact that people don't buy first time round, think about your own behaviour and you will probably realize that you have never bought anything first time round. It is widely believed and accepted that people need to visit and see an offer seven times or more before they buy.
Why collect email addresses?
The main reason for collecting email addresses is to initiate, maintain and develop relationships with potential customers through the electronic permission based systems offered by the Internet. This is the best way to increase your sales and nurture your visitors into being loyal customers that cerate a win, win situation for both parties.
The important reason for collecting email addresses and using them is for establishing an electronic, permission-based, relationship and loyalty with your customers or visitors. It would seem that the practical benefit of collecting email addresses is plain to see, obvious. Yet through conversations with novice marketers it seems that many do not collect emails but when they do they hardly use them. That's a real shame.
Collecting and using e-mail addresses should be a ritual in the Internet based market place. E-mail is so commonplace and universal that its existence and use are many times over looked and also not seen as important. Did you know that?
1. "69 percent of U.S. e-mail users have made purchases online after receiving permission-based e-mail marketing, 59 percent have purchased in retail stores, 39 percent have purchased through catalogs, 34 percent through call centers and 20 percent through postal mail".
2. And, "78 percent of those surveyed say they want to receive e-mail from their favorite online merchants ".

If you're not actively collecting opt-in email addresses and using them for marketing purposes you are missing out on important relationship building, credibility enhancing, and advertisement improving possibilities that could translate into more sales! This is your chance to turn one-time visitors into your best customers. If you do not provide a way for visitors and customers to be interested in hearing from you in the future, then you've just lost a potential sales.
Let me explain something about people, I walked into a department store to look for a mobile phone because a friend of mine said they where doing some good deals on Nokia's. I got to the mobile phone stand and a sales rep pounced in front of me saying can I help you sir would you like a great deal on one of our new range of Nokia mobile phones sir. Immediately my back was up and I was feeling uncomfortable and quite angry, yet why, that was what I was doing there, looking for a deal on a Nokia phone?
The answer to that is people do not like to be sold they like to at least feel like they are in control and making their own decisions, they like to feel like they are thinking for them selves and not being controlled.
Now if that sales rep would have left me alone for a few minuets and then stood next to me saying something like that's nice, that one there or these deals are great I'm going to get one my self when I get paid. I would have been more likely to have warmed to him and made conversation eventually buying one instead of telling him that he was ignorant, arrogant and needed better training in sales. Most people don't like being sold they will respond better to encouragement and friendship.
