What Could Make Your Online Business Fails

We often see or hear of people who have made hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars using the Internet alone. We more often hear of those who lose their last pennies trying to get their online business to take off. This in mind, it’s easy to believe making money online happens by complete chance, though this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Below are a few of the most obvious reasons why so many people fail to earn a substantial income, if any at all, via the World Wide Web.


The most common reason for failure in not only online business, but all business, is lack of focus. This is especially evident in the world of online commerce since there are endless successful methods one can use to start up their online business. When one method begins to get a little tough, the easily distracted move on to the next method in hopes it will be easier or will produce results more quickly. The truth is that each and every one of the successful methods is based on complete dedication and following through in order to work.

Another overly common cause for failure is ignoring advice from the experts. People spend hundreds of dollars on books and seminars, eagerly seeking answers from those who have already succeeded at the goal at hand, yet when the time comes to apply their newly acquired insight, it is suddenly inappropriate or inapplicable or impossible. Entrepreneurs couldn’t make a more counterproductive move than to study their successors and then disregard their strategies. Avoid this by realizing that the only way to know if something works is to simply try it.

Almost every online business is created from the comfort of home, causing many to believe that working from home is comparable to lounging at home. Naturally, this approach can cause a new business to inevitably meet with failure, so it is essential to be prepared to take your online business seriously before taking the plunge and staying home to work.

One of the driving forces behind the most successful business owners in history is their absolute, unwavering passion to succeed. Without passion, it is a chore to remain focused; and without focus, it is nearly impossible to attain success. Disappointment and frustration are bound to make occasional appearances in attempts to bring your venture to its doom; however, presenting intense passion for achieving your goal for financial freedom will help overcome any and all such obstacles.

Starting a business is a huge responsibility that takes a pretty solid grasp of several different subjects in order to be properly executed. The phrase “there is power in knowledge” is most relative to entrepreneurship as you can never know too much about what you do. Striving to continuously learn more and more about your industry, your clients, and your product or service can do nothing but remove hindrances from any type of business, online and off.

How to Increase Direct Ad Revenue for Your Blog

If you have been blogging for a while, you know that selling ad space directly to the advertisers on your blog can become one of the lucrative sources of revenue for you. When you have started selling ad space on your blog, you always want to sell off all the available ad space or ad spots on your blog to make the most out of direct ad selling. In this article, I'll be sharing with you the techniques that I have used to maximize my blog direct ad revenue. These have been good ways for me to maintain and increase my blog ad revenue. I hope you'll find them useful too:


Create an Advertising Page

An advertising page is basically a page that tells what ad space you are selling. It usually describes everything you are offering (text link, banner ad, sponsored review, etc) with price details included.

With an advertising page posted on your site, the visitors who are interested on placing an ad in your blog can find the advertising info they need immediately. This will potentially generate some fast sales for you.

Writing an advertising page isn't very difficult. The content of advertising page usually starts with an introduction, followed by the info of the ad options you are offering and lastly providing your ordering details and also your email address for the prospective advertisers in case they need to contact you to get more advertising info.

You might want to see example of advertising page before writing one fir your blog, you could take a look at my advertising page at:

If you need more examples, you can visit other blogs that have an advertising page posted. By looking at other blogs' advertising page, you'll get an idea of how to write your own advertising page.

The important information you must include into your page are the introduction, your blog traffic stat or other stats, (e.g. Google ranking, Alexa ranking, etc), The ad options you are selling with price details included and details of how to order an ad spot on your blog.


Set the Right Price

It's important that you are charging reasonable prices for the ad spaces you are offering for sale. This is not just to appeal your prospective advertisers to advertise on your blog but also to keep them as your long term advertisers which will ensure steady ad revenue for you.

It seems to be easy task to set the prices for the different ad spaces you are offering. The assumption is that the banner ad on highest position such as banner ad on the header of your blog should be charged at a highest price and ads on the lower location such as at the sidebar should sell at a lower price because ad on higher positions will generate more traffic for advertisers. Well, this isn't always right.

An effective way that can help you set the right price for each ad space you sell on your blog is by putting up your own affiliate ads (Clickbank, CJ, etc) on the ad spaces of your blog to test the click-through rate and traffic before opening those ad spaces for sale. The testing period doesn't have to be long; just one week is good enough.

Once you have tested each ad space, you would know the average daily clicks of each of your affiliate ads that placed on the different ad spaces on your blog and so you can set the price accordingly. Let says your 125 x 125 banner ad which places on the top right sidebar of your blog get an average daily unique clicks of 10. This means the advertiser who places a 125x125 banner ad on your blog is estimated to get 300 unique visitors (10 x 30) monthly. So you can decide what is the reasonable charge for a banner ad that generates 300 unique visitors for the advertiser each month.

If you think each unique visitor that you direct to your advertiser should cost $0.30, then the price for a 125 x 125 banner ad on your blog will be $90 per month (300 x $0.30). $90 for 300 unique visitors every month, seems reasonable enough right. But you certainly can charge more if you are in a highly profitable niches such as Forex, debt consolidation and etc.

By setting your price based on the traffic level, you can also avoid over-charging for different ad space on your blog. For instance, a 468 x 60 banner ad on the header of your blog seems to be expensive than a 125 x 125 banner ad at the top right sidebar because the 468x60 banner ad is located at a higher position. However, when you test the traffic level, you might find that the 125x125 banner ad is actually attracting more traffic than the 468x60 banner ad. So, the 125x125 banner ad was supposed to be expensive than the 468 banner ad.


Post Testimonials on Your Advertising Page


You know the Internet users like to find supporting information about the product or service they're interested before really buying it. It's no different when it comes to buying ad spaces on blogs. The real testimonials from your previous satisfied advertisers are much like supporting information which will convince your potential advertisers to order an ad spot on your blog.

Testimonials often are short and sharing the real positive advertising experience on your blog. These are certainly powerful supporting information that can convince your potential advertisers.

So how you can get real testimonials from the advertisers? 

If your blog has generated a couple of sales for some of your advertisers running an ad campaign on your blog, they are the happy advertisers willing to give you a testimonial if you ask for one. The satisfied advertiser may occasionally contact you to tell you that they are happy with the result from the ad campaign they run on your blog. You may reply the advertiser and invite him/her to publish a testimonial on your blog advertising page. You will include the advertiser's name, photo if possible and the advertiser's website link. The advertiser will certainly be happy to send you back an testimonial because they can include a link in the their testimonial.

Another way is to send a thank you email to the advertisers who have advertised one month on your blog and decided to renew their ad campaign on your blog. These are probably satisfied advertisers as well. Your email will thank them for renewing their ad on your blog and invite them to publish a testimonial on your blog. Tell the advertisers you'll be including their website link in the testimonial. You might then get one or two replies from them with a testimonial for you to publish on your blog.


Provide Helpful Customer Service


The prospective advertisers can be your paying customers. Many advertisers often like to ask questions before they place an order. So, make sure you read their questions and give the answers that they are looking for.

Also advertisers often like to test the click-through and conversion rates. This is to find out the performance of their ads. When they aren't satisfied with the result, they'll request for ad changes. Thus, you should allow ad changes on anytime. This way the advertisers can test different ads and landing pages to get the performance that they expect. When the advertisers are freely to request changes, they will probably renew their ads. This will secure your ad revenue.

Moreover, you might think about running discount campaign from time to time. It's helpful to boost up your ad sales. Also offering something like one week trial or two week trial could also push the advertisers to order ad space from you.

The above are the techniques that I have applied to maintain and boost up and blog revenue. Hope these techniques will work on you as well.

Make Money with Affiliate Marketing: Get the Good Result

Many people turn into affiliate marketing and a lot of them have given testimonials that they have really earned from it in just a few months of marketing affiliate products. Others even earn a few hundreds daily. How is this possible? What steps are they taking and what kind of marketing strategies are they following in order to drive traffic to their landing pages?

Affiliate marketing certainly can make you money. But patience is necessary and a lot of works have to put in. However, once you have left your mark in the sites where you want to gain traffic from, it stays there for long period of time and people would keep on visiting that page and you would get free traffic and affiliate sales from time to time.

So, what are the ways the professional marketers are taking in order to market their affiliate products effectively? Marketing a product needs careful planning and concept development. There are many sites where we can post a link to our landing pages which rank higher in Google. Below are some of them and it’s up to you to fully utilize and use the opportunity.

Squidoo Pages - Professional affiliate marketers use Squidoo pages to write a review about their products and to post links to their landing pages. Squidoo ranks high in search engines and if you use the highly searched keywords in your product review, there are great chances that your Squidoo page will land in the first or second page of the search engine. Squidoo is a reliable and trusted site so reviews written in the lenses are mostly preferred by most buyers.

EzineArticles – this article directory site contains hundreds of reviews and related articles about the products being endorsed online. EzineArticles has a pagerank of 6 and it also ranks high in search engines. Internet marketers find it a reliable site to endorse their products online where they get positive results. Creating an article about the product you are endorsing and submitting it to EzineArticles is a great step in marketing your affiliate products. It is important that you make your article as informative as possible so it won’t come out that you are only marketing your product but readers would also find your article very useful. This kind of article generates clicks to your given link at your author page. Readers usually become curious to know more information from the homepage of the author of the article.

Blogging – creating your own blog and creating backlinks to it is also an effective strategy. Once you have created your blog and added articles to it, you can write a review about the product you are endorsing then adding a link in the middle or bottom part of the article to your landing page. You can then join social bookmarking sites, microblogging sites, forums, social networking sites and other sites where you can generate traffic to your blog. Once you have thousands of backlinks to your blog already plus if you use keywords which are highly searched and with very less competition, there are great chances that your blog will be found. The reviews you post in your blog will then be read by buyers and if you have good quality review, there are big chances that your product will be purchased.

Article Directories – aside from EzineArticles, there are thousands of article directories online. The process is similar to what you will do with your articles at EzineArticles. It is important to note also that the article or review you submit to these article directories are modified, that is, no duplicate content if possible as Google penalizes posts which are in duplication with the others that they will find online. It is best to submit your articles first to article directories with higher pagerank as they are found first than those articles from directories with lower pagerank.

Submit to Social Bookmarking Sites - social bookmarking sites are reliable and effective in driving traffic to our blogs. Once you submit your post to thousands of social bookmarking sites online, you are creating thousands of backlinks which increases your blog’s pagerank. This boosts your blogs traffic and gives it a greater chance to land high in search engines.

People who search products and product reviews usually search first in Google or other search engines before they purchase it. Once they find your review and go to the link being endorsed in your review, there are greater chances of getting a sale. Affiliate marketing is the best and fastest way to earn money online if only you are doing the right method and strategy of driving traffic to your landing pages. It is important also to write high quality reviews and information about your products. People do really buy an item once they are satisfied with the review they find about the product they want to buy. The above ways are some of what professional internet marketers are doing. It is up to you if you will try them out. If you research about the ways and steps on how to market your affiliate products, you will always read about Squidoo pages, EzineArticles and the other methods discussed above. It is up to you to give it a try. In the end, you would be thankful you did.

5 Practical Tips for Generating Targeted Traffic to Your New Blog

You have been inspired by the successful bloggers who have made a nice living from blogging. You began to like the idea of blogging for cash and started to sign up for courses, blog RSS feeds and newsletters to learn about blogging. You followed the steps and finally got your first new blog launched on the Internet. You published a post daily. But after week, you found that only a few visitors have read your posts. You started to think about how to drive targeted traffic to your new blog.....

In this post you'll find several ways that you can use immediately to get targeted traffic.


Blog Commenting

Commenting on large traffic or popular blogs is any easy way to get some targeted traffic to your blog. I'm sure you have no problem finding the popular blogs in your niche. Take time to read about their posts and probably you'll learn something more which can help in your content creation. When you like to express your opinion, you can post your comments in. Most blog allows your name to link to your blog. So, your comment could potentially attract traffic when the visitors are reading your comment.


Participating in Forum Discussion

There are also popular forums in your niche as well. You could find the popular forums of your niche through Google search engine. These forums can be your quick sources of targeted traffic. Forums allow member to add link in their signature. So, you can make sure of the signature to get traffic.

The key to getting traffic from forums is participation. You should be active in discussions. Be helpful. When someone started a thread asking for help or advice, you may take the opportunity to post your reply with answers to their questions. You might also start your own threads to discuss about something interesting. This way you'll get good exposure in the forums and people who read your messages will see your signature link as well. Those who click your signature link will be directed immediately to your blog.


Pay Per Click Traffic

The advertising network like Google AdWords can generate quality targeted traffic for your blog. As far as I know, Google often offer $100 or $50 free advertising credit to 'first-time' advertisers. So if you haven't used AdWords before, think about signing up a new Google AdWords account to get the free advertising credit and start testing drive targeted traffic from AdWords. If you are happy with it , you might continue your campaign. Make sure you do some calculations to find out how much you can spend on AdWords every month.

However, if you advertising budget is tight, you can look for those cheaper ppc advertising networks. Bidvertiser can be a good option when it comes to buying cheap ppc traffic. The quality isn't as good as AdWords but traffic is still targeted.


Guest Posting

Quite a lot of blogs are accepting guest posts for publication these days. My blog MoneyMakerInfo.blogspot.com is one of them. You can write a few posts exclusively for the publication on the blogs that accept guest post. You'll include a few lines with your link in the author bio of your post for promoting your blog.

The good thing about guest posting is that your post will be display on the homepage which can potentially generate a good amount of traffic for the first 24 hours of publication. But guest post often needs to be quality and unique. So, make sure you take the time to do research to come up with some good quality posts so that your posts get accepted for publication.


Article Marketing

Article marketing works much the same with guest posting. You write articles and public on article directories. You are allowed to included your anchor text links in the author bio of your articles. The article doesn't have to be great quality to get accepted for publication. Informative articles with more than 400 words are ideal for publishing on article directories.

If you can write articles on daily basis, then article marketing could become your source of traffic as well. When you submit your articles, only look for large traffic article directories such as Ezinearticles.com, Article Dashboard, Isnare and etc. These are the article directories that can potentially generate consistent traffic. Try to submit at least one article daily. Keep this practice for a month and you'll targeted traffic coming from article directories then.


Press Release

Press release sites are great places to announce your new blog. While PRweb.com seems to be good press site to announce your new blog but it's quite expensive to publish a press release on the site. There are alternatives. In fact there are free press sites that you can publish your press release on. Go to Google and search the 'term' free list of press release sites and you get to know what press sites are free. Also if you run a contest on your blog, you can publish a press release on the press sites as well.

Press release in different than articles. If you haven't written press release before, you are advised to hire someone to create the press release for you because press release is in different format.

Once you see targeted traffic flow in to your blog consistently, it will be good idea to monetize those traffic. There are several ways to make money from your blog. You can use AdSense, sell ad space on your blog, promote affiliate products and etc. Make sure you do testing to find out what works best for your blog to generate income online.

How to Find Focus for Your Online Business

It requires time and effort to create an online income. You cannot expect to get anywhere if you just bounce from one idea to another. The only way to really accomplish success with an online business is to understand that it will require focus. If you are having trouble concentrating on one idea at a time you can consider these concepts:

It’s important to choose a business that you enjoy

There are many people that will tell you that online businesses don’t succeed. But there are also many who will tell you that they do succeed. Which of these groups should you listen to? You should actually listen to both. It is true that some types of online business will work for some but not for others. Each online business requires a different approach and different techniques. Never choose a business that requires you to perform a task that you do not like to complete. For instance if you dislike writing it doesn’t make sense to choose eBook creation as your prime source of income. Always take negative comments with a grain of salt and choose the business model that is right for you. Choose a business that is based on your interests and stick with it. It has to be something that you are willing to build long-term. This step alone will allow you to take your business far.

Choose someone who is successful and learn from them

There are gurus in every possible business field. Most of them swear that their way is the right way. The truth is that everyone does things a little bit differently. If you listen to everybody you will get confused quickly. Choose a successful person and learn from them. You will find that your business will run smoother and you will be much happier.

You have to actually work at online success

It is quite common for web masters and business starters to create a plan to create a successful online business. Too often these businesses fail when the actual plan is not executed completely. They may decide on several different strategies for several different models but then choose to nap, read a book, or watch TV instead. Don’t allow yourself to do this. Once you decide on an online business stick with it and follow through with all of your plans to reach your goals. Force yourself to do whatever it takes and you will achieve real results.

3 Things to Do if You Want to Make Money Online

Guest Post by Susan White

There was a time when the whole world rushed to join this bandwagon; rumors abounded of people making money easily and without any kind of extra effort on the Internet. It got so out of hand that many people burned their bridges by quitting their regular jobs and opting to tap the mother lode that they assumed was ripe for the taking on the Internet. But unfortunately, more people burned holes in their pockets than become overnight millionaires, and the lure of easy money did not appeal anymore.

The problem was not with the Internet; rather, it was with the people who assumed that the online world was easier than the real one, and that anyone could make tons of money by following “How to” tutorials and paying for online lessons that purport to make you rich in a trice. Yes, you can still earn online, but only if you understand the following things:

The virtual world is not the magic kingdom: Just because it’s online, there’s no guarantee that the Internet will make you rich. Most people have no idea of how money is made in the virtual world – they don’t understand SEO marketing, Adsense, affiliate marketing and other methods that have proved successful on the net. But they still want to cash in on the pot of gold they believe is at the end of the rainbow. They fail to understand that just as in the real world, reward is in proportion to effort in the online world too. If you’re willing to work hard, you will see enough money in time. But it is not an overnight thing and neither does it come when you sit back and twiddle your thumbs. There is no magic, just hard work and application of your efforts.

You must never pay for common sense: I’ve had people tell me time and again that they were conned by slick Internet marketers who took their money and gave them nothing in return. I don’t blame the marketers – they’re only doing what you’re trying to do too – make money online. The fault lies with you for believing all their glib talk about how easy it is to make money online and parting with your hard earned money in return for promises of information and techniques to help you get rich quickly. Come on, where’s your common sense? Why would you shell out money to earn some more? You’re not making a business investment; rather, you’re wasting your money on someone you don’t even know and cannot trust as a result. The important thing to remember about the Internet is that you must never pay people for job offers or information related to job offers.

If you make a commitment, you must keep it: And finally, if you’re lucky enough to secure online work or assignments that allow you to make decent money, remember that your continued success depends on your trustworthiness and the ability to deliver what you’ve promised. If you don’t meet deadlines, if you fail to live up to the expectations of your online partners or affiliates, if you cheat people out of what’s rightfully theirs, then the web shows off its evil side to you. You’re blacklisted as your ill-repute spreads online and people become reluctant to work with you.

The keys to online success are integrity, common sense, dedication, and effort – with a combination of these four qualities, it’s easy to survive and thrive in the virtual world.

The Five W's of Popular Blogging

So you've decided that you have opinions and information that you simply must get out to the rest of the world. You simply know that what you have to offer is original enough that there will be people clamoring for your wit and wisdom, but you're simply not sure how to get started, and once you get started; you're not sure how to get people to start reading.

There's an old adage in journalism that when you set out to write a story, you need to cover the five W's: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. That adage certainly applies to blogs as well, though it might be slightly adaptive considering the blogosphere as a whole, and the challenges that meet any young blogger just looking to get on their feet.

The first W - Who - covers you. Who are you, why are you doing this, and what makes you stand out to prospective readers. Blogs are generally considered far more personal than newspaper articles, people don't come to blogs for dry information or an Associated Press release. They want your personality to shine through in your blog posts.

The second W - What - is fairly self explanatory. The way the internet is set up, you can blog about literally anything, but make sure to establish an identity. Don't blog about quilting for a week, and then change topic and start blogging about how to establish peace in the Middle East the next. Unless you can find a way to blend the two. If you can combine two widely different topics, you might be able to establish yourself that way, but it's a task that may prove unsuccessful.

The third W - When - is more about when you post, then the time frame of the subject you're covering. It's important to be as prolific as possible when blogging in order to keep whatever audience you've managed to build. Posting once every two months isn't enough. Do it at least once a day.

The Fourth W - Where - applies to where you choose to market your particular blog. You could be the foremost expert on a subject, but if you're unable to get out the word on your blog, no one will ever read it. Message boards that cover your topic are a good place to start, as well as specialized sections of social media such as Digg will gain readers, as long as you're topical.

The final W - Why - is also fairly self explanatory. Why are you blogging? What drives you to continue to post? If you're in it for an economic gain, realize that it may be quite a while before you see any real return. If you're doing it simply to share you enjoyment, or disdain for a certain topic, know there will still be a struggle before you see your blog take off, but if you stick to the five W's sooner or later, the formula will pay off.

Dropshipping - Does It Really Work?

Guest Post by Shane O'Driscoll

Well you may or may not of heard of the term before, but simply put, drop shipping is a business model where by you only pay for a product when you make a sale from the customer.

Drop shipping is the easiest and best way to get started making money online. Really there is not an easier way. You place a product for sale on ebay, amazon or a website that you have set up. Once someone buys from your website you contact the dropshipper and they send out the product to the customer. So with that said, it is basically risk free. You never have to spend your own money because your using the payment the customer gave you.

You may be wondering, but how do I make a profit from all of this? Well its simple really, you can source products for usually 30% cheaper than what they are retailing at. You then charge the customer a higher price and the difference between what you sold the item at and what you purchased it at is your profit.

Many people when they start an online business look to selling on ebay and in my opinion there is no better place. You do not have to worry about targeted customers viewing your products. When customers are searching for products on ebay they are in a buying mood and this is why you see some auctions with 17 views and the item sold.

Drop shipping is an excellent way to start a home business. Many people waste their time filling out surveys where they get 10 cent a survey that took them half an hour to complete. This clearly is not worth your time. As we all know time is money and spending your time in the drop shipping business will certainly bring in good money.

So does drop shipping really work? Yes it definitely does, however you have to be willing to put in at least an hour a day. The best thing about drop shipping is you never need to hold on to the merchanise resulting in no risk on your part. It is this reason so many people choose it as the

method for their business. Not only that but you can completely scale it up. You could be selling 10 items a day which is not difficult, at $15 profit each which would result in $150 profit a day and $4500 a month.

Now think about if you were selling 30 items a day or even 100 items a day what kind of money you would make. I'll be honest there are some serious tricks to learn in this business and that is why you need to learn some of the ninja tricks I have acquired over the past 5 years selling on ebay.

Getting reviews written by good bloggers is a very popular way among advertisers to generate buzz about their brand and reach a whole new set of audience. There are many websites which allow bloggers to make money by writing paid reviews. PayPerPost is among the most oldest and most popular among paid networks to get paid by completing review assignments.

In this post, I am mentioning more sites where you can get paid reviews from advertisers. The rate you are paid for each review will vary according to the link popularity and authority of your website. All you need is a PayPal account and you can earn a lot of money by writing paid reviews.

BuyBlogReviews
This is a great site where many advertise come to find popular blogs related to them. BuyBlogReviews has no minimum payment amount - all money transactions are on Paypal.

ReviewMe
This is a well-known website that gives bloggers a great way to make money online by writing paid reviews. Each paid review can earn you anything from $20 to $200. ReviewMe also offers payment in check apart from the usual Paypal payments.

SponsoredReviews
You can browse and ask advertisers to advertise a review on your blog. Also, you can set your own price. SponsoredReviews will share the revenue 50:50. I have earned a lot of money from SponsoredReviews by promoting advertisers.

Blogsvertise
Blogsvertise is a very simple concept of earning from paid reviews. You dont have a market place but the site admin will assign you paid reviews on a regular basis. They have no minimum amount of payment and all payments are done through Paypal.

BloggerWave
They have an array of world class advertisers who want to promote their website/products. If you register yourself at their site - you can have a great opportunity to earn money from blogging. BloggerWave also does not have any minimum payment threshold.

PayU2blog
A good site if you want to get a consistent flow of paid review assignments. As the name suggest they simply pay you to blog- about their advertisers. Again, they also have no minimum payment amount.

LinkWorth
LinkWorth basically allows you to earn from paid reviews but they offer a lot of other ways to earn money. LinkWorth allows bloggers to sell links as well as banner ads, full page ads etc. They share revenue 70:30.

Affiliate Marketing, How Can I Make Money With?

Guest Post by John Stockstill

Affiliate Marketing as we know it is a very competitive gig. Infact 95% of the people that have ever tried affiliate marketing before have completly given up because they do not see the results that they would like within a week or so.

So What Is Affiliate Marketing?

* When you go out and find companies that are willing to pay you money with high percentages for each sale that you produce for them.

The benefits of being an “affiliate marketer” are as followed:

1. You absolutely DO NOT need your own website
2. You DO NOT need your own product
3. Everything is completely done for you, the only thing that you need to know how to do to {make money from home} with affiliate marketing is how to get the word out there which I will explain in greater detail below.

Everyone is often misled when they hear the word “making money from home” or affiliate marketing. The reason being is because so many people are ripped off by these programs because they don’t know what they are doing once they join an online program.

There is tons of money to be made in [affiliate marketing] BUT you have to know all of the in’s and out’s of things. For example like how to get ranked in the search engines so people that are searching for stuff like “making money from home” or affiliate marketing get brought straight to your site. Once they are there and visiting your own affiliate website, you will then more then likely reap the rewards with your cut of the profit, putting more money in your pocket day in and day out.

What Is The Number 1 Way To Cash In Big With Affiliate Marketing?

The most used way of marketing online that I’ve seen over the years is strictly through Google Adwords. A ton of affiliate marketers use this program because it is laser targeted traffic and will give you the quick and instant cash that everyone wants and needs. But don’t be fooled with this awesome tool, you have got to know how to use it effectivly and get the best bang for your buck so you are not over spending money on marketing that you could be keeping in the bank. There are free trainings on the Google Adwords website that fortunatly NOT alot of people know about, I highly reccomend that as a great starting point.

Choosing Your Affiliate Marketing Website

The reason I have chosen this particular website to market is one because it is new to the internet world. If you find “money making programs”, [affiliate marketing] prgrams that everyone and tons of people have already seen 9 times out of 10 they are automatically going to click away from your site, and that is going to put a huge hole in your pocket as far as marketing costs. You want the “affiliate site” to catch your eye, because if it doesn’t why would it catch anyone elses? You want the site to look clean and unique something that even you have never seen before. Once you have successfully looked over everything that is on the affiliate site, every site that offers other people to sell there product there will normally be a link at the very bottom or on the side that says AFFILIATES. This is where you will go and sign up for your FREE affiliate account for that particular company. Clickbank, Commission Junction, PayDotCom, as well as Payzeeno are among the 4 best types of affiliate sites that I would recommend.

Anything and any program within Affiliate Marketing that is new to the industry is set up to make huge money for anyone that is willing to put in a little bit of time and patience into marketing the specific program. So if you want to reap the rewards and start making money from home with these new products or services take a closer look into exactly what you can do to start making money at home today. You need game plan before you start.

How to Market Online

Guest Post by Chad Timms

Let’s pretend that someone came and handed you the keys to a clothing store. They told you all the inventory is included and there are many items in the store that people are looking for. Most of the clothes they tell you are quite popular. How would you feel about this? What if I told you that you had exclusive rights to only certain styles and that if you could get the word out and find some customers then you could make some really good profits. The only catch they tell you is you have to get the customers and you have to do the advertising.

That is exactly how affiliate marketing online works. There are so many products you can offer to people and it is all at your access. You can write your own checks depending on how much you produce. So why is everyone not doing this then? Because marketing online and offline is real work and there is a certain learning curve to doing it.

So how do you market a product online then?

1. You can optimize your site for the search engines so they place your website on the first page of any of the search engines for your products. This is called search engine optimization and is a strategy that takes a lot of time and includes a lot of maintenance but a great way to get free traffic or free customers to your offer.

2. You can write articles and submit them to article directories. This is another free way and if you can write good articles other people will pick up your content and publish your article on other sites where you can get traffic.

3. You can do pay per click marketing. Pay per click marketing is where you will pay so much for the search engines to place a sponsored result for you. This will bring you instant targeted traffic if done correctly.

4. You could put a banner ad up on high traffic blogs like this one here. This blog has been optimized for the search engines to rank high for the niche “make money online”

5. You could advertise your site on classified ads online. If you can write good ads and your product is high in demand this is another good way to bring traffic to your site.

I have only listed 5 ways you could bring traffic to your website or blog but there are many more. Keep in mind you need to be selling items that are in demand and you need to fill that demand with the supply. Give the buyer what they are looking for and surely you will do well online.

The Easiest Ways to Make Money from Home

Guest Post by Alex Cadens

If you have been flirting with the idea of making money from home, but you have yet to make it a reality, this is a strong sign that you should stop thinking and start doing.

You will always hear the most diverse opinions when it comes to a home business, from the those that assure you that making money from home is next to impossible to those who say it is as easy as pie.

The ones on the side of the skeptics are usually people who have not seriously committed themselves to building a home business or they have simply fallen victims to scammers one time too many.

One the other hand, people that hype up the idea of making money from home and tell you that it is easy to make millions are often trying to sell you something and chances are that they have not even achieved what they say you will.

The fact of the matter is that making money from home can actually be easy, but not in the way many people will have you believe (which involves the illusion of getting rich effortlessly).

So, what does it really mean that making money from home can be easy?

1.- A home business will take a lot less of your time in order to develop and run, as opposed to a traditional business where you may easily have to commit 12 hours or more per day (I know this by own experience). You will still need to work hard, but it will certainly consume just a fraction of the time a "normal" business would, leaving you with more time for yourself and far greater sense of reward.

2.- You will not have the need for an inventory in order to run your business, something that will save you a lot of money in start-up costs.

3.- On top of that, you will not have the need for a payroll and the heavy expenses associated with hiring employees, because there are many tools and resources you can use to automate everything thus allowing you to run your business by yourself.

4.- And last but not least, a home business will spare you the need for physical locations, which is often one of the heaviest burdens of in terms of capital investments when you are starting a business. A home business will require virtually no money to start.

What is the easiest way to make money from home then?

No subject is more heavily discussed in forums and blogs, but in my personal experience your best bet for a real and scalable business that you can manage and profit from the comfort of you home is at internet marketing, e-commerce and trading.

All of these models share one thing in common: they all can be developed and run from a computer and all of them can easily grow into a significant stream of income if you take the time to learn the ropes of each business model and build a steady work routine.

But probably the greatest advantage of using any of these proven business models is that you hardly need any money to start, because although all of them are ultimately business options that, as such, will require some sort of investment in the form of essential tools and resources, you will not have to commit thousands nor hundreds of dollars in order to get it up and running and start making money easily from home.

Seven Tips to be More Productive While Working at Home

Guest post by Roger Rae

Everybody who dreams of working from home know the facilities they can benefit from while working at home. Some of them are – comfort of working in safe homely environment, flexible work hours, no office politics, no monitoring. But what they don’t know is that the comfort they are enjoying can also negatively affect their productivity. You have to face a lot more distractions while working at home as compared to working in an office. But then should you stop dreaming about working from home? NO. By following the seven tips given below you can easily reap the benefits of working from home without sacrificing your productivity.
Set a Work Schedule – Working from home allows you to set flexible hours but it doesn’t imply that you can work whenever you want. You must have a fixed working schedule designed according to your convenience. Once the schedule is ready then follow it religiously.

Create a To-Do list – Start your day by creating a to-do list of tasks which you want to finish that day. Order the list according to the priority of tasks and start with the task having highest priority. Also make sure to leave some empty slots in your to-do list to adjust with unexpected tasks that need immediate attention.

Create a Work space – Create a separate work space to work for. Working in bedroom is not same as working in a home based office. Keep a separate room or at least a distinct work area with no distractions where you can focus on your work easily.

Turn Off your TV and music system – It is very easy to get yourself enthralled in Television shows and music while working at home. And you won’t even realize that how much time you are wasting in it. So turn off your TV and music systems while you are doing work.

Limit your Internet usage – As, almost all work at home providers have to spend most of their time in front of the computers. It becomes very hard to stop yourself from checking emails, reading blogs, update social accounts and eventually wasting lot of the time in non productive activities. The ideal solution to it is to disconnect your internet connection or limit your internet usage while working. Also you can take help of some free tools which can block the internet access for you during your working hours.

Inform your relatives and friends – Whenever people come to know that you work from home they think that you are free for most of the day and they have the privilege to call you and to disturb you whenever they want. So it is always better to inform them beforehand about your daily schedule. When they call you, politely remind them about your working schedule and request them to call you later.

Have social life – If you are working too hard, working at home may blur the boundaries between your personal life and work life. In fact, it may destroy your personal life at all. So make sure that you take regular breaks at least once a week and recharge yourself with creative ideas and energy for next week.

So these are the seven tips that every work from home provider should follow to be more productive. Do you know of any more tips? Feel free to add in the comments below.
