Making money online isn t rocket science. It s very simple actually. Below is a simple and short guide of the important things you ll need to know in order to make money online
First The Right Partner (Affiliates)
I recommend that you sign up with an affiliate network like Clickbank, Commission Junction or Rocket Profits. There are a lot of them out there. Just do a google search for affiliate network and a bunch of them will pop up. The other option is to find a site that has a product or service that you d like to promote and join there affiliate program. The important thing to remember is to find an affiliate site that you think has a great landing page. The page should be good enough to sell you on the product. Remember that people are not stupid. They think just like you and me and there buying habits are the same as ours...to some degree.
Second Wear a Mask (The art of deception)
After you ve signed up for there affiliate program you need to hide your affiliate ID or tracking number. You can do that easily by registering your own domain name and having it forwarded to your affiliate link. Register your domain name with a reputable source such as; Yahoo, Godaddy or Network Solutions. Besides the fact that you won t have to worry about someone steeling your domain name from underneath you, these better known companies have easy to use interfaces that allow you to forward your domain quickly and painlessly. By having a forwarded domain you are preventing the buyer from becoming leery of a super long domain name on the home page and increasing the probability that the buyer will trust the site enough to make a purchase.
Example:
Without domain forwarding your link would look something like this www.joeshmoe.FrankiesComics.com
With domain forwarding the buyer would see something like this: www.FranksComics.com
Third Time to Reel in The Dough (Marketing = Money)
Marketing....It s all about the marketing (really...it is!). Use a mix of Pay Per Click search engines. Most people go with Yahoo, Google, and MSN, but don t spend most of your budget there. Try using the less commonly used search engines to get more bang for your buck. I would suggest Exoclick, Lycos (great results) Myspace and facebook. Using a combination of the major search engines and the less common ones will ensure that you are using your marketing dollars wisely and at the same time reaching the customers that your competitors are overlooking.
Other marketing methods that have proven results are:
Online Classified Ads UsFreeAds and Craigslist both work great.
YouTube Videos Make a video that displays your domain name. Try to make it a funny video or a how to video.
Join Google Groups Join a bunch of Google Groups, but do not spam people. First, send links on the message board that people will find funny in order to build there trust. After you ve done that for about 3 to 7 times you should send your link out with a head line similar to: Is This For Real?
Be Creative Remember...try to be one step ahead of the other guy and keep pushing the limits to what you can and can t do. If you fall...get back up and try again.
Good Luck and Much Success
