10 Ways To Indirectly Get To The Top Of Search Engines
The most expensive way would be to buy ad space on those web sites. If you don't want to spend any money, you could use the ten strategies below. These strategies may not apply to every web site.
1. Participate on their discussion boards. You could post questions, answer other peoples questions, and join in on conversations. Just include your signature file and link at the end of your messages.
2. Ask the web site owner if they would like a free ebook to giveaway to their visitors. You could have them link to your web site or include your ad in the free ebook.
3. Submit content to their web site. You could write articles for their web site and include your resource box and link at the end of the article. If they publish it, you'll indirectly be at the top of the search engines.
4. Write an excellent article review of their web site, products or services. Then publish the review on your web site. E-mail the web site owner and tell him or her about it. They may link to your web site so their visitors read it.
5. Ask the owner of the web site if they would want to trade advertising. If you don't get as much traffic as they do, you could throw in some extra incentives.
6. Propose a cross promotion deal with the web site. You both could promote each others products or services together in one package deal. This means a mention and link back to your web site.
7. Give the web site a testimonial for their product or service. Include a little text link for your web site with the testimonial. You never know; it could end up on their ad copy.
8. Post your advertisement on their free classified ad section on their web site. You want to be sure you have an attractive headline so they will read your ad.
9. Post your text link on their free-for-all links page. You want to go back and post your link regularly so it stays towards the top.
10. Sign their guest books. You could leave a short compliment about their web site on their guest book. Just include your signature file and link at the end of your message.
I Hope That This Article Has Helped You
Sincerely,

6. Allow people to download your eBook for free, if they give the e-mail addresses of 3 to 5 friends or associates that would be interested in your eBook. This will quickly build your e-mail list.
7. Create a directory of web sites in eBook form. List peoples web sites in the directory that will agree to advertise the eBook on their web site or e-zine. This will give them an incentive to give away or advertise your eBook.
8. Allow other people to give away your free eBook. This will increase the number of people that will see your ad in the eBook. You could also include a mini catalog of all your product or services that you offer in the eBook.
9. Gain new leads by having people sign up and give you their contact information before they can download your eBook. This is a very effective way to conduct market research.
10. Make money selling advertising space in your eBook. You could charge for full page color ads, classified ads or banners ads. You could also trade advertising space in your eBook for other forms of advertising.
11. Give away the eBook as a gift to your current customers as a way of letting them know you appreciate their business. Place an ad in the eBook for a new back end product you're offering
12. Get free advertising by submitting your eBook to freebie and freeware/shareware web sites. This will increase the number of people that will down- load your eBook and see your ad.
13. Make money by selling the reprint rights to those that would like to sell the eBook. You could also make even more money by selling the master rights. This would allow other people to sell the reprint rights.
14. Hold a contest on your web site so people can win your eBook. You'll get free advertising by submitting your contest ad to free contest or sweepstakes directories.
15. You will gain valuable referrals from people telling others about your eBook. Word of mouth advertising can be very effective.
16. Make money cross promoting your eBook with other people's products or services. This technique will double your marketing effort with- out spending more time and money on your part.
17. Increase your e-zine subscribers by giving away your eBook to people that subscribe to your e-zine. This will give people an incentive to subscribe. Allow your e-zine subscribers to also give it away to multiply your subscribers.
18. Give away the eBook to people that join your affiliate program. This will increase the number of people that sign-up. You could also create an eBook for them to use that will help them promote your product or service.
19. Give away the eBook in exchange for people leaving their contact information. This will help you follow-up with the prospects who buy your main product or service.
20. Offer a free eBook that contains a couple of sample chapters. If they like it, give them the option of ordering the full version. It would work just like a software demo or shareware.

Search Engine Keywords Selection
customers to your websites. But in order for visitors to
reach their destination - your website - you need to
provide them with specific and effective signs that will
direct them right to your site. You do this by creating
carefully chosen keywords.
Think of the right keywords as the Open Sesame! of the
Internet. Find the exactly right words or phrases, and
presto! hoards of traffic will be pulling up to your front
door. But if your keywords are too general or too
over-used, the possibility of visitors actually making it
all the way to your site - or of seeing any real profits
from the visitors that do arrive - decreases dramatically.
Your keywords serve as the foundation of your marketing
strategy. If they are not chosen with great precision, no
matter how aggressive your marketing campaign may be, the
right people may never get the chance to find out about it.
So your first step in plotting your strategy is to gather
and evaluate keywords and phrases.
You probably think you already know EXACTLY the right words
for your search phrases. Unfortunately, if you haven't
followed certain specific steps, you are probably WRONG.
It's hard to be objective when you are right in the center
of your business network, which is the reason that you may
not be able to choose the most efficient keywords from the
inside. You need to be able to think like your customers.
And since you are a business owner and not the consumer,
your best bet is to go directly to the source.
Instead of plunging in and scribbling down a list of
potential search words and phrases yourself, ask for words
from as many potential customers as you can. You will most
likely find out that your understanding of your business
and your customers' understanding is significantly
different.
The consumer is an invaluable resource. You will find the
words you accumulate from them are words and phrases you
probably never would have considered from deep inside the
trenches of your business.
Only after you have gathered as many words and phrases from
outside resources should you add your own keyword to the
list. Once you have this list in hand, you are ready for
the next step: evaluation.
The aim of evaluation is to narrow down your list to a
small number of words and phrases that will direct the
highest number of quality visitors to your website. By
"quality visitors" I mean those consumers who are most
likely to make a purchase rather than just cruise around
your site and take off for greener pastures. In evaluating
the effectiveness of keywords, bear in mind three elements:
popularity, specificity, and motivation.
Popularity is the easiest to evaluate because it is an
objective quality. The more popular your keyword is, the
more likely the chances are that it will be typed into a
search engine which will then bring up your URL.
You can now purchase software that will rate the popularity
of keywords and phrases by giving words a number rating
based on real search engine activity. Software such as
WordTracker will even suggest variations of your words and
phrases. The higher the number this software assigns to a
given keyword, the more traffic you can logically expect to
be directed to your site. The only fallacy with this
concept is the more popular the keyword is, the greater the
search engine position you will need to obtain. If you are
down at the bottom of the search results, the consumer will
probably never scroll down to find you.
Popularity isn't enough to declare a keyword a good choice.
You must move on to the next criteria, which is
specificity. The more specific your keyword is, the greater
the likelihood that the consumer who is ready to purchase
your goods or services will find you.
Let's look at a hypothetical example. Imagine that you have
obtained popularity rankings for the keyword "automobile
companies." However, you company specializes in bodywork
only. The keyword "automobile body shops" would rank lower
on the popularity scale than "automobile companies," but it
would nevertheless serve you much better. Instead of
getting a slew of people interested in everything from
buying a car to changing their oil filters, you will get
only those consumers with trashed front ends or crumpled
fenders being directed to your site. In other words,
consumers ready to buy your services are the ones who will
immediately find you. Not only that, but the greater the
specificity of your keyword is, the less competition you
will face.
The third factor is consumer motivation. Once again, this
requires putting yourself inside the mind of the customer
rather than the seller to figure out what motivation
prompts a person looking for a service or product to type
in a particular word or phrase. Let's look at another
example, such as a consumer who is searching for a job as
an IT manager in a new city. If you have to choose between
"Seattle job listings" and "Seattle IT recruiters" which do
you think will benefit the consumer more? If you were
looking for this type of specific job, which keyword would
you type in? The second one, of course! Using the second
keyword targets people who have decided on their career,
have the necessary experience, and are ready to enlist you
as their recruiter, rather than someone just out of school
who is casually trying to figure out what to do with his or
her life in between beer parties. You want to find people
who are ready to act or make a purchase, and this requires
subtle tinkering of your keywords until your find the most
specific and directly targeted phrases to bring the most
motivated traffic to you site.
Once you have chosen your keywords, your work is not done.
You must continually evaluate performance across a variety
of search engines, bearing in mind that times and trends
change, as does popular lingo. You cannot rely on your log
traffic analysis alone because it will not tell you how
many of your visitors actually made a purchase.
Luckily, some new tools have been invented to help you
judge the effectiveness of your keywords in individual
search engines. There is now software available that
analyzes consumer behavior in relation to consumer traffic.
This allows you to discern which keywords are bringing you
the most valuable customers.
This is an essential concept: numbers alone do not make a
good keyword; profits per visitor do. You need to find
keywords that direct consumers to your site who actually
buy your product, fill out your forms, or download your
product. This is the most important factor in evaluating
the efficacy of a keyword or phrase, and should be the
sword you wield when discarding and replacing ineffective
or inefficient keywords with keywords that bring in better
profits.
Ongoing analysis of tested keywords is the formula for
search engine success. This may sound like a lot of work -
and it is! But the amount of informed effort you put into
your keyword campaign is what will ultimately generate your
business' rewards.

Becoming A Full Time Affiliate
If Your Looking To Quit Your Day Job By
Becoming A Full Time Affiliate -- Increase Your Productivity By Taking
A Break!
James Martell,
Successful Affiliate Marketer and Natural Search Expert Talks with His
Wife Arlene About the Affiliate Lifestyle!
As an affiliate marketer, you work for yourself and one of the
countless benefits this lifestyle holds is that you can take vacations,
or as James and Arlene call them, break-ations, any time you
want.
You can work remotely, stay on top of your online publishing
business from anywhere there is Internet access, and enjoy downtime
with family and friends. And, as listeners to this fun, informative
Coffee Talk are about to learn, even long-weekend break-ations leave
you refreshed, revived and ready to hit the ground running when you
return, making them an absolute necessity.
Of course, you can follow the
Martell's lead and book-end any industry conference (such as CJU or
Affiliate Summit) and stay in fantastic cities a few days before or
after these events, and take advantage of great conference rates and
the tax write-offs.
As the Martell's have learned, in preparing for their own
break-ations, be it long weekends or one or two full weeks away, they
can handle a larger workload and even the day-to-day stresses better
when they know a break-ation is around the corner.
For them, this includes relying on a whiteboard where they add
everything thing they need to get done before they leave. Checking
those tasks off is so rewarding, Arlene explains.
Then, when they return, they find they feel better and can
jump back in with renewed energy and a fresh perspective.
four children, travel can be very expensive and as most listeners
already know, James and Arlene work together and prefer to do their
travel as a family. In fact, its one of the reasons James started his
at-home business.
In this Coffee Talk, Arlene, who is responsible for planning
and booking the family break-ations, shares her resources and
personal tips for saving time on airfare and accommodations and tells
of her infamous $20 trick that once landed the couple a $600-per-night
room.
You will also learn more about some of the Martells favorite
break-ations, including a Caribbean cruise that brought the entire
family a huge surprise: a visit to the film set of Pirates of the
Caribbean II.
Hear all about what it took to get Arlene involved in James
affiliate business (just imagine writing 500 articles) and how the
break-ations have enriched their relationship, their lives, their
childrens lives and even their business.
As an affiliate marketer, you work hard, so make time to play
just as hard. Youve earned it and the Martell's show you
how.
Its all about break-ations and everything you need to know
to take your first break-ation is right here from the motivation
needed to get you out the door to how to find the very best deals, this
husband-wife team share it all, including the story behind Arlene
showing at a conference event in a fluffy white robe (with other
robe-clad wives in tow).

5 Quickest Ways To Massive Windfalls Of Cash Online
Yet, for some, this lifestyle seems out of reach. Does this describe
you at all?
If you’ve been banging your head against the wall trying to figure
out the quickest and easiest methods to generate cash for yourself
online, then these five tactics should have you opening your eyes
wide and wondering: “Why didn’t I think of this before?”
Cash Tactic #1: Affiliate Products
Affiliate products offer the small, home-based business owner the
opportunity to make truckloads of cash, while investing a minimum in
over head.
Low overhead is the primary benefit of affiliate marketing. You
don’t need your own merchant account. You don’t need to pay a web
designer and programmer to create a huge e-store for you. You don’t
handle customer complaints, refunds or returns...
All you do is refer the prospect to the merchant’s site, and the
merchant handles the rest.
I believe the best affiliate products are information products. Your
commissions on information products tend to be higher simply because
the author can price an information product higher than what the
average shopper spends on a tangible product sold online on a
typical day.
This is because the value of information is ambiguous at best, and
subjective to how the prospect sees value. People are willing to
spend much, much more in order to acquire a solution to their
problems.
Cash Tactic #2: Resale Rights
Resale rights are the lazy marketer’s salvation. You don’t have to
create your own product. You don’t have to write a single word. You
may not even have to lift a finger on sales page creation when the
resale product comes with a ready-to-upload sales page.
All you do is pay the licensing fee to acquire rights to the
product, perform a small amount of editing to change the payment
link over to yours, and upload the sales page and product file to
your web server.
The trend is taking a turn for the better in 2005 while the
marketing world goes through its latest “next big thing”: niche
marketing.
Today, you can find products with resale rights for such things as
cooking, golf, arts and crafts, self-improvement and more.
Seizing on the profits promised by demand for niche products, there
are dozens of new authors out there who have devoted themselves to
turning out these niche products, and offering them with resale
rights.
Cash Tactic #3: Special Reports
A special report is a ‘mini e-book’ of no more than about 5 to 12
pages in length. While you can certainly create a mini-ebook that
sells (provided the information it contains is perceived to be
valuable enough), the best use of a short report is as a lead
generating tool for your affiliate campaigns.
The mini-ebook is the ideal viral tool. You create (or acquire) a
mini-ebook which is branded with your affiliate links and/or your
main URL.
The focus of the report should be niche specific and completely
focused on the pre-selling of the affiliate product.
Cash Tactic #4: Interviews
It’s a piece of cake to churn out products created from interviews.
In fact, it may be one of the laziest content generation methods
available.
Interview packaging is easy, too. You can present the interview as a
written transcript, an audio transcript, or both. You can offer a
downloadable mp3 file or you can burn the entire interview to CD,
put an attractive label on it, and instantly raise your price by at
least 30%.
Cash Tactic #5 Teleseminars
Do you want to know something interesting about teleseminars?
While they’re becoming a popular marketing method, the field is
really wide open for you to cash in on them because very few
marketers understand how to pull them off.
A teleseminar requires advance planning and a willingness to
overcome a bit of stage fright. The average marketer in competition
with you avoids teleseminars for these reasons.
They’re intimidated by the idea of showing up on time and speaking,
even via telephone, to an audience of a couple hundred people.
You can cash in on this technique in a big way. Teleseminars, right
now, are popular mainly among the internet marketing crowd and tend
to focus on marketing-related subjects; but, just imagine what you
could do if you held teleseminars for non-internet marketing niche
audiences?
The field is wide open and vastly under-exploited.
There you have it - five quick and easy methods to generate
windfalls of cash online!
It’s really amazingly simple, isn’t it? Every tactic is really just
a vehicle of delivery for an idea. Your profits begin in an idea
which spawns market research. This spawns an analysis of the best
approach for delivering your idea to buying public.
While there are many more secrets and techniques to generate massive
cash windfalls from the internet, as a start, you should put any one
of these methods to good use.
I promise that you will finally get a taste of what it’s really like
to succeed wildly online if you do so!

8 Reasons why Affiliate Programs are the better option
Many people are confused when they first become iterested in internet businesses, they find themselves asking what type of busisness is best for me?
Well I can't answer this for you but I can certainly give you a few pointers in the right direction and my personal opinion.
So here they are:
1. No emplyees. There is no need to employ people to do the work for you.
2. Low costs. Most affiliate programs are free to join, you don't have to buy the product to sell it. Some programs have a upgrade option to make which makes your earninig capacity somewhat larger.
3. No storage. The merchant is responsible for the storage of product so you don't need to worry about space or storage costs
4. No shipping and handling. The merchant is also responsible for the product arrival, so there's also another cost you don't need to worry about and running around you won't have to do.
5. You don't deal with customer service. Another problem you don't need is customers who are not happy, if they are not happy the merchant deals with it.
6. No account keeping. There is no need to store customer information such as credit card details, addresses and phone numbers, this is yet another merchant responsibility.
7. No trading time for a wage. You can spend as little or as much time as you like selling your product. How much money you want to make is entirely up to you.
8. There are literally thousands of options out there for you. If you have a favourite niche market go for it, in my experience if it is a product that you are really happy with then it will be easy to sell.
If this doesn't clear things up for you, I don't know what will! What better way to make money online then to watch the company do all the hard work. All you have to do is promote, promote, promote, and when it is something you are happy with it's easy!

5 Ways to Drive Traffic Away from Your eBay Auction
And let's not forget the biggest advantage over selling on eBay. The majority of users have money in their hand just waiting to find the right item.
So if eBays so great why would you want to drive traffic AWAY from your auctions?
Well there are a few reasons why you'd be better off selling from your own website, rather than though eBay.
Firstly & most importantly, think of all the listing fees & final value fees you could save if everything you sold on eBay you could sell on your own website. Personally it would save me thousands of dollars per year alone in listing fees.
Secondly, you'll be protecting yourself from eBay policy change. Imagine you were selling thousands of ebooks weekly and then suddenly eBay policy changed to prevent any ebook listings.
Overnight your business would simply disappear & your income would vanish. It's the same with listing fees - A sudden hike in fees could wipe out your business & profit overnight.
With any business, especially an online one you need to safeguard yourself against measures that are out of your control. So by driving traffic away from your auctions to your own website you'll slowly start building up an alternative source of revenue. The following methods can be used on eBay. Some are on the borderline of eBay policy & you should check out any policy violation before using them. Saying that, a huge proportion of sellers use these on a daily basis.
1) Image Hosting
All the best sellers have auction templates developed to maintain a professional listing. And of course those sellers ALWAYS use images or graphics to accurately show the condition of the items their offering.
eBay itself allows you to upload the images to their servers, other commercial & free services are available. However really you want to store any images on your own server. Not only will search engine robots follow the links from your listings to your site (helping in improved visibility in any search engines), but many browsers will show the address of where the images are loading from in the status bar - For instance "Loading Image From http://www.visitmyshop.com" or "Waiting For http://www.visitmyshop.com". This is a great way for your visitors to see to become familiar with your site.
2) Feedback
Many sellers include their own website in the feedback comments they use. Strictly it is against eBay policy but many Powersellers use comments like "Thanks for your custom from http://www.Visitmyshop.com" as standard. This is perhaps one of the widely violated policies on eBay. I've never known of anyone receive a warning for this policy, but use it with caution as you could be the first.
3) Email Address
eBay allows your listings to contain one email link address, in addition to the "Ask The Seller A Question Link" they already provide. Use the opportunity to show the an email account associated with your domain name for example sales@visitmyshop.com. The only condition about showing your email address is the one shown must also be your registered email account with eBay. Before you list it, make sure they match up.
4) About Me Page
eBay actually allows you to link to your own website from your About Me page, as long as the actual page does not directly offer to sell items. Therefore make it an information or about us page that you link to, BUT one where visitors can easily navigate to your catalog of items for sale. Additionally drive traffic to your About Me Page by including a link on every listings, for example "Click here to learn about me". An average basic shop on eBay will get over 1500 item views within a month. If you can drive just a small proportion of these to your about me page & then to your site you'll certainly see a difference in your non-eBay sales.
5) User Id
While eBay does not allow your user id to be that of an website, you should have it as closely to resembling your site name as possible. You CAN NOT attach .com, -com or *com to the end of your user id - this is strictly against eBay policy. However nothing would stop your id being VisitMyShop. The idea is to get your eBay visitors comfortable with dealing with you away from eBay.
I hope these tips help you drive traffic away from your auctions towards your site & lessens eBays grip on your business. Remember, Ignorance is not an excuse eBay accept if you do violate their policy. While you initially get a warning for policy violation continuous offences may result in your account being suspended. Having said that, eBay mostly rely on policing from other users to enforce their policy so as long as no reports you should be in the clear.
Good luck with your eBay activity.

knowledge to help them out, point them in the right direction.
I have found forums as a great way to get information myself as I
need it as well as a great place to help people who have particular
questions.
Another great place to get help and to help others is Joe Robson's

9 Ways to Make Money On-line
1. Affiliates Sign up to become an affiliate for other businesses that are on the net. I only sign up with the companies that I honestly would recommend to anyone. All that you have to do is refer your customers to these sites. Once one of my referrals makes a purchase, I receive a small payment. With some of the affiliate programs the fee is quite large.
2. Google Ads I was not too sure about this one but I signed up and I am now convinced. The first week that I had Google ads on my website I made $.18 and the next week I made $6.45! Wow! Big boost. If I keep this up, I just may be able to pay for my web host by the end of the month!
3. Google Search Works close to the same way as the ads. People use your search tool, make a purchase and then you are compensated.
4. Amazon Another great tool that will trickle in a few dollars here and there, all for 10 minutes of your time putting a little code into your website and Amazon does the rest.
5. Selling Ad Space You could sell ad space if you have a site that has high traffic.
6. Selling Subscriptions to Your Newsletter If you have a newsletter that has high demand information, you could charge for your newsletter.
7. Selling Ad Space in Your Newsletter Sell ad space in in your newsletter. Same drill as with ad space on your website. Just put a box on your newsletter with a note inside it that says "Your Banner Could Go Here" Then have a page that tells how many subscriber that you have, how often your newsletter goes out and what type of content it usually contains plus the price per ad.
8. Selling E-Books Do you know something about your craft or hobby that you know people would pay to learn as well? Then sell it in an e-book. What a great way to make a little extra money. You take the time to write a good quality e-book then just fill the orders. You could even set it up so that once the e-book order has been processed and paid for, it goes out automatically using an auto responder without you even having to lift a finger, except to go to the bank to collect your money.
9. Consulting - Offer your services Do you sell wedding supplies and know all of the best suppliers around? Do a little research and offer your services as a wedding coordinator. Offer your assistance to the people that want to plan their own wedding, but need a little bit of help.
Remember, you wont get rich with just one of these programs, but you just may make a tidy little sum every month with a combination of all of them.

How can a new internet marketer make money online?
proven successful methods, as well as some useful tips to help you
maximize your earning potential in each one of them:
1. Affiliate Marketing
You could earn as an affiliate. An affiliate is a middleman between
the merchant and the customer. Basically, the affiliate only has to
look for a customer and pre-sell the affiliate merchant’s products.
Pre-selling is easier than actually selling the goods. You would
only have to capture the potential customer’s interest and lead him
to the affiliate merchant’s site. If a sale is made, you’ll receive
commissions that ranges from 5% to 95% of the actual price of the
product sold.
Enticing, isn’t it? But wait, there’s more! You could enroll in as
many affiliate programs as you wish. This means that the earning
possibilities in this area are virtually limitless!
For more in-depth affiliate marketing technique, I highly recommend
this Affiliate Marketing Guide:
http://www.SecretOfInternet.com
2. Create Info Product
You could earn as an info product creator. You could write an eBook
or a special report on a subject that you are very much familiar
with. Afterwards, you could market the same for profit.
Do not let the word “creator” fool you, however. You could earn from
this field even if you don’t create anything. If you don’t have the
time to come up with your own product, you could always hire the
services of a ghostwriter to write one for you. Just make sure that
the ghostwriter you’ll contract is trustworthy, and more
importantly, has excellent writing skills.
3. Resale Rights Products
You could earn as a resale rights marketer. You don’t have to
create, or cause the creation, of info products.
You could simply buy the resale rights of existing ones and take
care of the marketing. In so doing, every product that is sold would
net for your profits to keep.
4. Public Domain Content
You could earn from public domain information. Works before 1923,
and to a certain extent, those before 1978, are deemed free to use.
This means that you could republish the said works, or alter them if
you wish, for profit.
Republish classic literature as electronic books. Compile timeless
poems into comprehensive collections. Print masterpieces and sell
them as posters. And you don’t have to pay their creators and
royalty fees!
5. Provide Service
You could earn as a service provider. If you’re good with a
particular craft that could be done digitally, then you could lease
out your services for the many Internet denizens the world over.
If you have excellent writing skills, for example, you could peddle
your services as a ghostwriter, or as a copywriter even.
If you’re good with web designs, you could make websites for other
people and earn a generous sum in the process.
Put in time and effort and you will earn
You see, these are only some of the many ways by which you could
earn money from the Internet. There are other means of course, like
paid to surf and paid to read programs, but really, nothing beats
the assurance of an actual business that the above models provide.
You will be in charge of your own fate, and your earning potential
will depend on how much time and effort you will invest in your
chosen venture.

5 Powerful Ways to Make Money Online with a Website
to simply be creative with your skills, knowledge, and abilities.
However, the following five options are powerful ways to make money
online with a website and definite something you should consider.
#1 Knowledge
You can always sell your knowledge, which many times is the best way
if you are an “expert” of any type or subject matter. People are
looking for your knowledge and input, regardless if it is self
taught, learned in college, or wherever. People are always looking
for answers online, so if you sell your knowledge you can simply
make money from what you know.
#2 Affiliate Programs
Become an affiliate for products based on your website theme and
then simply promote these programs where you earn money from
referrals. It is easier than it sounds and only takes you creating a
website full of rich content.
#3 Hard Goods
Selling hard goods is a traditional way of making money and it
transfers to the online forum as well. No matter what hard goods you
have to sell you can certainly find a buyer online. Create a website
that focuses on your goods, have a good shipping plan in place, and
then start selling online.
#4 E-books
Selling e-books, articles, and other written materials is also a
powerful way to make money online and if you are good at writing it
is certainly something you should consider. You can have your own
website selling pre-written topics or else you can also write on
demand, whatever works best for you and your web business.
#5 Auction Goods
Auction web sites are also very powerful ways to make money. The
reason for this is you can sell a wide variety of products, do not
necessarily need your own website although it helps, and can change
your products from time to time as you need to. Many people enjoy
working and selling via auction sites because any number of things
can be sold from old personal items to new products as well.
The best way for you to make money online is for you to do something
that you like and enjoy. When you do some thing you like and enjoy
you will be able to commit yourself to doing it fulltime. The reason
for this is working online can be difficult at times and if you do
not enjoy it then it will be difficult for you to be successful
making money via your website.

5 Steps To Make Money Online
There are many, many, opportunities online, but here are the 5 factors you really need to consider, to guarantee your success:
1. Set your goals
As with any business you need to set goals. Goals help you visualize where you want to go, and keep you motivated when you get up in the morning. You goal may be to earn $500 or $10000 a month, it may be to take that dream vacation, or it may be to give up your job. These are all great goals. It is imperative that you write them down and reread them often. You need a short term goal - e.g monthly goal, to keep you motivated from day to day and a longer term goal 1-2 years - to keep you on track and prevent you from chucking it in. I am confident that if you adopt a positive attitude and embrace your goals then you will soon be making money online.
2. Take time to research
As I alluded to earlier there are many people making money online - and there are thousands of different businesses that you can try. The internet is a mine field of information and “making money online” opportunities are not difficult to find. However you will need to decipher the genuine opportunities from the scams. Many online promises are just methods to extract money from you. Some do's and don'ts
DON'T fall for the “get rich quick schemes” that promise huge returns in record time
DO try and email or telephone for more information
DO search online for feedback on the opportunity e.g. try name of opportunity + scam
DON'T part with money without consulting a friend you can trust and/or sleeping on it.
3. Find something that you like
You're the boss now - so do yourself a favor and choose something you enjoy. This will greatly enhance your chances of success. A few things to consider:
Do you enjoy writing?
Do you enjoy talking to people?
Do you enjoy working on the computer?
Do you have a flair for sales?
Are there particular things that you are passionate about e.g sports, music?
Do you want to be contactable 24x7?
Do you want to have flexible/fixed hours?
Personally I like to work on my computer on my own time and my choice of internet business matches this. Find out what suits you, and you can weed out the business ventures which are not for you. Don't settle for second best - choose something you are comfortable with.
4. Find something worth your while
While it is a good idea to avoid the sales pitch that promises the sun, moon, and stars; it is also important that you don't take the safe option - that guarantees $5 an hour for sending emails, filling our surveys, or licking stamps. These amount to you underselling yourself, because the opportunities of making money on the internet are so much greater. Look for systems which offer a good monthly return for a few hours work a day - if you find something with a residual income all the better.
5. Anything for an easier life!
One of my motivations for venturing into internet marketing was to create an easier life for myself. As I sat in my day job I used to think - “There must be easier ways to make money” - and there are! Earning a living online means that you have the luxury of working from home and choosing your own hours. It is important that you can exploit these perks, by being able to take time off, take extra vacations and spend more time with your family. You need to avoid the 40-50 hours a week for the sake of your sanity.
