Everyday there are millions of people trying to make money on the internet. There's a lot to be said about the internet lifestyle, make your own hours, no commute to work, no boss and most of all, the potential to make a great deal of money. Possibly much more than your making right now. There are individuals making hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars a year working from home. But of course these are the exceptions. There are endless ways to generate income on the web. Making $5,000 to $10,000 or even $20,000 per month is very attainable. Maybe you can see yourself sitting in your pajamas working from your laptop or sitting on the beach making more money than you ever made in your life. There are internet marketers out there doing just that every single day. So Many Ways To Make Money... Where Do You Start? Internet marketing is sales, no one gets paid unless something is sold. Let's try to break it down some more to something you can use. Almost 75% of all companies with a web presence have an affiliate marketing program. What does that mean? Affiliate marketing is where you promote someone else's ...
... product or service and are paid a commission for each sale. The vendor (the good ones) provide the product/service, marketing materials, sales copy, suggestions about how to market their products, payment processing, customer support and refunds. Along with these services they often pay you as much as 50-75% of each sale you make. It's the original fair deal. In most cases you do not even need a web site, hosting services or a domain name. The barrier to entry is extremely low. With the right kind of promotion and planning you could start making money within days. Technology makes it easy and the world is your customer base. There really are no limitations on the amount you can earn. The Learning Curve Of course if it was that simple everyone would be doing it. There is a definite learning curve when it comes to earning money online. The problem is there are so many options that it can be very confusing and if it takes too long to start making money it begins to create doubt. You might begin to ask yourself, "is this the wrong product?" "the wrong market?" Are you using the wrong type of promotion?" With so much misinformation out there, to the beginner, making the wrong choices can be costly, frustrating and could lead to your giving up completely... which would be the biggest mistake of all. Web Site Or Blog? Should you build a web site or start a blog. There are programs available to simplify the process such as Google's Wordpress. This really is a low cost solution with Google providing free web site hosting all that's needed is a domain name. Using their templates greatly simplifies creating a website. Still it requires creating a constant amount of original content. The content needs to be added on a regular basis to keep the site or blog new and engaging. Your visitors need new information or they will just stop coming back. Without the proper guidance and direction starting an online business can be costly and there are no guarantees that you will ever make any money at all. I began my own online business almost 15 years ago with about $200 (turned out to be a lot more than that before I figured it out). I didn't make any real money for the first three years. Talk about discouraging. Because I felt a desparation to succeed I found myself being distracted by the "shiny object syndrome." Every new thing I found sent me in a different direction hoping that this would be what I was looking for to finally create the online income wanted. While most of it was a complete waste of time and money, I now consider it the cost of my education. No one hands you money for nothing. There are dues that must be paid. The Easiest Way To Make Money Online Through all the trial and error, there was a light at the end of the tunnel. That light was called CPA (cost per action) marketing. CPA was developed as a way for companies to acquire new customers at what they consider to be a very reasonable cost. They pay you a commision based on the action that is required. This "action" establishes that the customers you supply are valid potential buyers for them. CPA marketing pays you a commission for giving away valuable free gifts to obtain these customers.. How hard is that! Here are some of the "actions" that are used for CPA marketing: · Email Submit Offers... to receive a free gift, someone enters their email address and you get paid. · Zip Submit Offers... when someone enters their zip code to a form, you earn a commision. · Game Download Offers... when someone downloads a new game and installs it on the mobile phone or tablet you get paid. · Free Trial Offers... these are high paying offers but the conversions are lower. Commissons on these type offers can range from $30 to $150 each. There are many niches to choose from with the best converting niches being Health & Beauty, Dating and Insurance.
