One of my friends, who was unemployed and had just lost his job, has decided to take to the internet to earn some money. He had always wanted to start some kind of business from home, but he never really knew how to go about it. In this article, I’ll show him 3 ways by which he can make money online.
Affiliate Marketing
If you already have a product or service to sell online, you can get others to market it for you. Essentially you would be getting cheaper advertising than if you hired the marketer to make everything for you.
What you get is known as affiliate marketing. All you have to do is sign up with a affiliate program (which is free to join), provide some links to your web site, and let other people promote your product. You are then paid a commission for every sale they make to customer who goes to your site because of the affiliate link they got from you.
There are all sorts of nagapoker services online and they will list all sorts of products you can become an affiliate of for free. Some affiliate directories are even free to join too.
Simply head-over to their site, Click- brokers.com, and sign up with them. From there you can simply go to the category that interests you and see if you can find any affiliate products for which you can become an affiliate.
If you like their products, check them out. Join some forums and ask around in the Failure Earl forum to see what people are using these products for.
Start a Web Based Store
Stores online is another great way to make money. Not only can you set up an online store, you can use the power of the internet to take attention-grabbing photos, write witty descriptions, place product orders online, and make sure that you deliver your products (i.e., digital content) directly to your customers after they have purchased them.
There are a bunch of open source web programming and ecommerce software and forums that you can use, in addition to your paid shopping cart software or other suppliers. Did I mention that you can use your own web site design software as well? That’s another awesome way of taking advantage of the power of the internet to sell your products online.
Domain Names
horchids.com is a domain name. You can put everything in one website, from your inventory to a page to notify your customers about the sellers and if you have done well, you can make a lot of money. Or you can create a separate domain name for your e-store with your affiliate links in (the one I prefer!)
Quit Filling Out Forms
Have you ever received a questionnaire where you just enter your name, mailing address, email address, and a “code” so that you can login to the site without having to take another quiz?
Well, much of what I do as an affiliate based on the power of the internet.
I get paid a generous commission for every sale that I generate. I might get $20, $40, even $50 for very small costs or offering a free report at the time of purchase.
That’s the reason that by adding a simple form to my website, where the customer has the choice to buy or not to buy, immediately the profits come in.
It’s as simple as that. If I can make $0.50 for every $1 I earn, I just ABOUT can make enough money on the internet to pay for the next 2 years of college tuition. What’s really great is that if you add in a tiny bit of time every single day, you can make a lot of money online too. Remember that though. Every little bit counts.
