If you already have your own website and you want to make money from it, one road to consider going down is joining an affiliate program.

If haven't got your own website yet you can get in touch with a web designer who has experience with affiliate marketing.

An affiliate means you make money by advertising products or services from other merchants, by putting text links or banners on your site.

If a visitor to your website clicks on the banner, which takes them to the merchant's website and if they make a purchase you will make a commission on the sale.

Unfortunately you won't make much by simply putting a banner on your website that is of course unless you get thousands of visitors a day.

But just by putting to use a few simple techniques, even the smallest of websites could bring in a decent income.

Firstly, you should affiliate yourself with a merchant who sells goods that a visitor to your site would buy, don't try and advertise pet food when your website is about building your own PC.

To begin with try looking at the 'Commission Junction', one of the best affiliate network directories on the net, it won't cost you a penny and nor will it if you link up with one of listed merchants.

From that point it's very straightforward, you don't need to be a programming expert to get going.

Promoting anothers' goods on your site is a great way of earning an income all you're doing is pointing someone in the right direction and your responsibility ends there.

There's a good chance that you have mixed feelings about blogging for money it's common for some people to think it might be evil, lame or obnoxious, or anything that falls into those categories then don't commercialise it.

But if the idea sits OK with you then go for it, or if you think otherwise and you consider it evil, that's fine too.

You must be absolutely 100% sure in your mind before you begin, because making money in this way is difficult enough without self-sabotage kicking in and making your attempt somewhat half-hearted.

You ought to feel great about generating income this way, there's not much wrong about being eager to succeed.

If you honestly think that your blog has real value then earning income from it should be no more than you deserve.

You can't be timid about the whole thing though, if you put ads on there, really put those ads in there it has to be the same if you're putting in requests for donations, do not be shy.

There are always some who will complain when you commercialise a free site, they always do.

But can you make a decent living online? Absolutely. It will take longer if you have a day job but the possibility is there.

As far as the development team are concerned it is for "Making money by feeding the Google Monster what it wants without barely lifting a finger"

A snappy statement but it's not about the use of language it's about whether the product is worth the money?

They recommend that for the initial setup you but MANY domains, hosting and Niche Devil, you then install the Niche Devil onto your hosting account, then you run the script and insert your chosen keywords and affiliate links for the store you want to build and as if by magic, Niche Devil has spat out a site with contents and products in a gob smacking 36 seconds or so! Wow magic, now all you need is a few spend-happy customers, and Niche Devil can even promise that with the aid of pinging but let's take a step back and look at what makes the whole thing tick.

Your server/hosting account must meet certain minimum requirements before uploading the script via ftp.

Just like the old BANS stores, Niche Devil does the same thing and look what happened there

Niche Devil makes a lot of hype about it's "ever refreshing" content, scraping or pulling media from all around the Internet that relate to your chosen keywords it works well and looks pretty good but what about the legality of using what maybe copyrighted material?

There are statements from Niche Devil such as, "Hurry up, only available for 14 days" which leaves us with a few questions.

They are restricting the window for it's purchase, why? To make you buy now or are they worried about what happens when experience kicks in and we know what we're dealing with and why would you sell a product you are convinced will make everyone so rich and not just use it yourself.

Becoming a professional Twitter for a company could be your first route, lots of companies want to join the social media realm but simply aren't prepared. They need people who are and when you see in the job boards "Seeking Twitter Pros" you'll be on a winner.

You can sell your stuff on Twitter, even big companies do it, you can try combining micro blogging and micro funding to create "Micro fundraising", you could try your hand at promoting music. A service called Tra.kz combines a short URL service with a music community and a marketplace, which can only be better than the music industry or the iTunes monopoly on selling music online, is advertising.

Two Twitter ads services have come to my attention so far: Magpie and The Branch, they both look professional enough not to appear spammy but as yet I haven't tried them so i don't know if you can earn real money without scaring off your followers.

Another ad solution for Twitter is Twitadd which places banner ads on your Twitter page, you could also sneak in affiliate links, not cheating as such but there can't be anything wrong with getting commission from services you already support, there's always business opportunities to be found on Twitter, there are daily Tweets from people offering jobs, offering Twitter Apps, many companies offer Twitter Apps for free.

There are more and more professional applications appearing on the web, applications people would pay for , it's not really the done thing, reviewing a product on Twitter certainly not like on a blog and not being able to advertise your own content doesn't seem fair from a user perspective, despite Twitter being so simple and limited, there's a myriad of ways to use it for all kinds of purposes, soon there may be companies who will require Twitter consultants and specialists to teach them how to use it in their particular niche market.

What does affiliate mean?

The word is used to describe a relationship between one company and another. It is usually the term used for someone who refers a company or products to a third party.

A merchant is the supplier of the goods, the company.

The affiliate is the sales person. The one who directly sells to the customers.

How to get started

Affiliate marketing is easy to set up. There are so many programs that offer services.

The popular program you may of heard about is commission junction. You can get a free affiliate account and select any merchants you would like to promote.

The first thing to do before choosing and products is to decide how and where you are going to sell them.

What I recommend

Get yourself a website and build it around the products you will be promoting.

You must spend time planning your marketing campaign. Making sure you are able to generate quality traffic.

Your marketing campaign should include:

Research into keywords for your chosen niche

SEO - search engine optimization. Both on site and off site.

How much money can you make?

As you are paid commissions, if you don't sell anything you wont make any money.

the importance of your marketing campaign is huge, it will impact the amount of money you will make.

Once your website and marketing is launched, you simply paste in your affiliate code and your off!

Whether your website is for business purposes or not, you will most definitely need visitors to it.

The Internet is so big, you are just a little fish in such a big sea.

Ways to increase your existence online.

You can increase the traffic to your website many ways. You will first need an Internet marketing campaign.

Find who your potential visitors are

Certain types of traffic generating programs exist, however they will not send you targeted visitors.

For example, if you had football website, is having a pop up banner on a ballet site going to send you customers that will purchase your goods? Unlikely.

What I am trying to say is that you need to research who your potential customers will be and make your site available to them.

Search engine optimization - SEO

Seo can be a bit tricky, especially if you are new to Internet marketing.

Don't let anyone tell you seo is quick and easy. It consists of many on site and off site optimization strategies and is very time consuming.

There is a simple seo guide if you want to learn the basics. You can also outsource this work to an seo expert. Leaving you free to run your business.

Pay per click - PPC

This can be a very fast way of getting your site noticed. It is also an expensive learning curve so make sure you get to grips with pay per click management before you start.

Social networking

Links to your site from blogs, forums and message boards, will bring you traffic.

It is important that you do lots of planning and research. A good campaign will lead to good quality traffic.

I hope this has given you a short insight to ways you can get more visitors to your website.

If your website has high search engine ranking, you will reap the benefits without a doubt. Learning seo can be a bit daunting, did you know that simple seo mistakes can actually kill your ranking.

1. Using the wrong keywords

The first thing you should do is keyword research. If you get this wrong your off to a non starter. Make sure you target the best keywords for your niche, ones that searchers actually are using.

2. Missing title tags

Many beginners often forget to use title tags. They are important and tell search engines and visitors what your pages are about. Make sure you use different title tags for each page.

3. Over the top flash

When goggles bots crawl your website, they cannot read flash. It may look nice but it wont do you any favours. If you must use flash, make sure you also include html mark-up.

4. Link farms

A mistake even those claiming to be the best are making. SEO changes all the time, link farms are not liked by google. You need to spend your time getting one way links from high pr websites.

5. Keyword stuffing

The content you write on your website must make sense. Do not stuff your content full of keywords that have no relevance to your sentences. This will get you penalized by Google quickly.

6. Keyword density must stay below 5%

7. Duplicate content. If you use content that has been used elsewhere, you will get your website sand boxed by Google. Search engines love fresh content.

8. Inadequate navigation

Your sites navigation and links must be clean and unbroken. Your visitors and search engine bots must be able to find their way around your site.

9. Using only images for headers

Headers are what Google bots read first. Make sure you include your important keywords in your headers not just images.

10. Using unreliable hosting. Cheap may be good for your bank but having servers going down and pages not loading will lose you visitors and stop Google being able to properly access your site and give it high search engine ranking.

1. Keyword Research

When choosing which keywords you want high search engine ranking with you must research.

Research is vital, you must make sure the keywords you want to rank high with, pr actually used by searchers.

2. Who are your competitors?

You are going to beat your competitors to the top spot. You need to first find out who they are and analyze them. Type in your keyword in the search bar...bingo, there are all your competitors.

3. Your pages titles

There are two tips for optimizing your pages titles. One is to make sure each page has a different title.

Second tip is to make sure you include your main keyword in the title. Don't keyword spam though, your titles must make sense and flow.

4. Meta tags

You should only use keyword meta tags if you fully understand them. If you get it wrong you could harm your ranking.

5. use headings

Having your keywords included in the headers h2 and h1, will tell googles spiders that what is in these headers, are important.

6. Content must always be fresh. Duplicate content is a big no no.

7. One way links are a big seo boost. Try and get a link from a high pr website. Remember to have your keyword included in the link.

8. Having a site map will help to get more of your pages indexed.

9. Make sure your title and alt tags have a description.

10. Update your website often. Google loves fresh content, don't let your website become stale.

Seo can be very complex, but it is very rewarding once you get the hang of it. I write many articles on seo for beginners. Don't let search engine optimization blow your mind. Start with the basics and work from there.

If you are new to all this Internet malarkey, you would of probably heard the term 'seo' knocking about. Let me help you out a little and fill you in.

Seo is the short term used for search engine optimization.

It is a process that is done to make sure website pages are optimized for google and other search engines.

Why seo is needed?

Whether your website is a personal site or a business site, one thing you need is visitors.

There are many ways you can get traffic and they are all equally effective but the best things in life are free and if you learn seo and implement it, your traffic will be free.

Organic traffic from search engines comes when you rank high, naturally, on search engines for various keywords.

This is one of the main types of traffic you want to be chasing.

It is a fact that the majority of searches who use google, only click on listings that appear above the fold. With this in mind your goal should be to appear in the top 3 search results.

Where should a beginner start?

I am going to write articles for beginners. I wont use big overstated terms and i will take it slow.

Despite it's first impressions, seo is not rocket science, but it does take some hard work.

My advice as you take this journey is to persevere.

Things you need

A website to play with

Patience

Tons of coffee lol

Right, that is the basic low down on search engine optimization. Now to to get you started on how to get high search engine ranking.

In my last post we looked at search engine optimization or seo for short.

Which is best for your Internet marketing campaign? Seo or AdWords?

The answer is a simple one........ Both!

What is Google AdWords?

It is a pay per click program that gets you fast traffic.

1. Join google AdWords for free.

2. Set your daily budget. This can be as little as £1 per day.



3. Build your keywords list

4. Write your ads and your away.



Why you should use both google AdWords and seo

Optimizing your website for search engines will bring you free organic traffic.

AdWords will bring you fast quality traffic.

Using search engine optimization and google AdWords, will get you the best of both worlds.

But isn't Google AdWords expensive?

To the majority of beginners, AdWords is an expensive learning curve. However, if you use it correctly, the ROI is significant.

I wont go into AdWords too much in this post. But one thing i will say is that seo can lower the price you pay for AdWords!

If you are a beginner to the Internet marketing world and did not know which to use, AdWords or seo? Then take my advice...do both.

In my next article i will create a post just for all you AdWords beginners.

search engine optimization or seo for short, is the process used to optimize your website for the search engines.

If you have an online business then you will benefit greatly from having a seo friendly website.

You may have your own ways of getting traffic, but organic free traffic is always a bonus.

Having your site rank high for certain keywords will bring you FREE quality traffic.

How to search engine optimize your website

1. Choose your keywords

Decide the keywords you want to gain high search engine ranking with. Don't forget to include some long tail ones.

2. Your URL

Not vital but include keywords in your URL if your site is not branded

3. Content

You may of heard some say that "content is king". Although it is important, it is not the only thing search engines look at when deciding your rank.

Your content has to be liked by both your visitors and search engines.

Keyword density in your content needs to be below 5% ideally. Too much or too little will kill your ranking.

4. Links

The best links are the ones that are one way and keyword anchored.

If you can get an anchored one way link to your website from a high pr website, .......BRILLIANT.

Those are the 4 main search engine optimization tasks that will improve your sites ranking.

To realise that no secret exists, instead it is determination and hard work that counts.

If you are looking of a way to start an online business without too much hassle then dropshipping is for you.

What is Dropshipping.

It is best described as a selling technique that works through 3 streams.

1. You as a retailer sells a product.

We naturally put more effort into something we like doing. It is less of a chore.

Writing can be classed as either an occupation or a hobby. It would be great to make money from your hobby, wouldn't it?

Ways to Make Money Writing

Here I am going to have a little brainstorming session with you.

Please add your comments if you know any other ways of making money writing.

Blogging - writing quality content and monetizing your blog.

Writing Greeting card verses - Most card companies will pay you for your verses.

Freelance content writer - For this you will need to be able to research and know about keyword density.

Reviews - In business opinions matter. Companies will pay you to write a review about their products or services.

Make money as a poet - not allot of money out there for poetry anymore, but there are still ways of making a profit. Have you considered building a poetry website, or even entering cash prize competitions. It all ads up!

Writing EBooks - Tap into the thirst for online knowledge. No costs for printing or publishing.

Has the list made you think about your own ideas?

Notice I didn't mention book writing. This is the most obvious one and I wanted to give you some ideas for other methods.

You will always find a reader, eager to read what you have written.

Whether you write poetry, fiction or self help, you can grab an audience both online and off line.

When I say Make Money for Free, what exactly does that mean? Surely there is always costs involved, right?

I write allot of articles on ways you make money for free, this is what I mean by it.............

If you have spent time looking at online money making opportunities, then you will of noticed how different they all are. Some will charge you a fee to join, others will not. The ones that don't charge you, are the ones that I refer to as "Free ways to make money".

Does this mean that money making programs that charge you to join are scams?

Not at all, allot of webmasters that have created a money making opportunity and charge to join it are legitimate. They can charge a join fee because they have a massive online presence, people trust them, and they might as well charge for a product or information they have created.

Why I write more about ways to make money for free?

This is because most of my readers are beginners. Every beginner to making money online will incur a steep learning curve, I don't want you to experience an expensive one. If you begin by using all the free ways to make money, by the time you become more experienced, you will have the ability to determine what will work and what will fail.

But everything costs money, right?

All my articles consist of ways to earn money without the risk. I will never promote a scam, and I will never promote something that will break your bank. With anything you do online, you still have to pay hosting, connection fees, this is obvious and unavoided. With money making opportunities like auctions, you will have to pay a listing fee and valuation fee. So not completely free, but they won't charge you anything to join, and what you spend is completely in your control.

Tell me some ways to make money for free

Filling in surveys

Good old blogging

Your Websites

ppc

Becoming an affiliate

Drop shipping

Selling ads

The above are just some of the popular ways to make money for free. If you are a beginner, then these things will help you to learn and grow. Your online money making campaign is in your control, safe learning curves will ensure you succeed.

If you have a website, then you will be silly not to earn money with Google AdSense.

No matter what your site is about, AdSense is suitable. It is content targeted and can be added to any site. (with exception of adult sites of course)

What is Google AdSense?

Google allows webmasters, to place ads across its Google mammoth networks. This is called Google AdWords.

Google will share some of this revenue with you, by allowing you to place these ads on your website. This is called AdSense.

So to recap, AdWords is where you write ads and advertise on other sites and across Google. You pay for every ad click.

AdSense is a way of getting paid for advertising other peoples ads on your site.

How much can I earn with Google AdSense?

There is no limit to how much money you can make with AdSense. You get paid an undisclosed percent, each time someone clicks on one of the ads displayed on your site.

AdSense is content targeted, which means that Google will read your websites content, and let you display ads that are associated with your content.

The benefit of having targeted ads on your website, will be reflected on your click through rate. For example, if you sites content was all about trains, having ads about baby clothing will mean you get less clicks and earn less money.

How to increase your AdSense earnings

There are ways of making sure you get the best from having AdSense on your website.

Be sure not to click on the ads on your site. You will get suspended for good.

Ad placement is important. Never stop testing where on your pages is best to place the ads, Usually the best place is above the page fold.

If you are going to create a site just for Google AdSense, then it is important to make sure, you know about your chosen subject, enough to write good content.

Having large amounts of targeted traffic will be a winner for anyone making money from AdSense. Have a look at my other posts that help you get more traffic.

Making money from AdSense is a great way to earn money online. Some people use it to cover web hosting costs, but others are making a substantial income from it..

You will be surprised to hear that this is one of the best ways to make money online. In fact the number of companies that outsource is huge.

What is outsourcing?

Anything can be outsourced, it is used to speed up production time and provide a faster turnaround. If you thought that all companies do everything themselves, then think again.

Here are some things you might want to outsource

Content writing

Email marketing

ppc management

products

website

Advertising

The list could go on and on. But my point is that you cannot do everything yourself, and why would you want to. There are only so many hours in a day, and your goal is to make as much money as possible.

How to outsource

You need to have good networking skills, you will need to be able to fluently deal with people you are going to outsource from. Research is also important, vital for beating your competitors.

Marketing outsourced products is a huge earner. It means that you are left with more time to increase your profits and make more money online.

You will definitely not be short of ways to make money online, but as a beginner you may feel like you are just waisting your time trying them with no results.

Where to start

Firstly, think about what you enjoy doing. The thing about making money on the Internet is, that more than likely, you will have endless amount of people doing the same thing that you are doing. With this in mind, you have to try and be the best at it. To be good at something, you have to enjoy it. So write a list of all the things you enjoy doing. This list could include things like writing, doing surveys, blogging and so on.

Make your list into a money making plan

With your list of things you enjoy doing, you can turn it into a great money making plan. Let us call it a brainstorm. The thing about brainstorming is, that it opens your mind and helps you to span an idea. Use a separate piece of paper for each activity you write down. On each piece of paper, fill it will all the ideas you can think of for that activity. You will be surprised at the things you come up with. Don't worry if your ideas don't seem to be ways of making money, the thing about the Internet is, that you can earn money many different ways. In my previous post we looked at how you can monetize any website without selling products. The Internet is not just about e commerce.

Put your plan into action

Planning and research, is one of the most important steps you should accomplish before you begin any money making opportunity. Too many people jump in, only to fail and be left very disappointed. The common mistake people make is, to develop more than one idea at the same time. This can cause you to fail very early on. You need to put all your effort into one idea, and when that idea has flourished and performing well, then you can begin to look at a second idea.

How to make sure you succeed

You will not be short of competitors, but you should see this as a challenge. Your dedication and your planning, will fuel you with what you need to succeed.

You will of noticed that I have not given you any examples in this post. That is because I want you to begin with your own ideas, and your own unique plans, this way you will finish with success. Try not to adopt any one's ways of making money. Sure you can do the same thing, but do it differently.

Online scammers are getting more clever, you maybe a person who is very level headed and does not fall for money making scams, but unfortunately we are all victims at some point.

What is a scam?

A scam is something that is set up to defraud you. It can be to get your personal information or it can be to sell you something that is not as described.

Credit Card Fraud

Spoof emails claiming to be from official companies

False auctions

The most one people will fall for is, get rich quick scams. These are tough ones, many cannot be classed as scams because, the webmasters are very careful how they describe the money making opportunity. The only problem with many get rich quick schemes is, the only person getting rich quick is in fact the person who created it, the webmaster.

The only way to avoid get rich quick scams is to always remember "if something seems to good to be true, it is"

I am not saying that all make money online opportunities are scams, far from it.

How do I know if a money making opportunity is legit?

Use Google search and forums to check out if anyone has reviewed them.

It is only my opinion, but I believe the way to make money online is to find a niche and make it your own. Create a way of doing something that is better than your competitor. Nothing wrong with getting involved with an opportunity that already exists. Use free resources sites that help you to earn money for free and give impartial advice.

There are many ways that you can make money blogging. Each depends on what type of blogger you see yourself as and what traffic you chase.

Who can Blog?

Anyone can blog about anything. Information is something everyone is looking for, and we all have our own pieces of information, opinions and views. Blogging, although it can be classed as a social thing can also be turned into an internet marketing strategy.

Ways to Make Money from your blog

Pay per click (ppc) is the most popular way to monetize your blog. The programs you would of heard of are Google Adsense or Bidvertiser. Basically, you put ppc ads on your blog and you get paid when someone clicks on the ads.

Use your blog to promote affiliate products. You simply join an affiliate program and promote the products using your unique code. You then get paid a commission for every sale or lead.

Selling Ads space on your blog is something we discussed in the post making money from your website. The same principles apply, however you need to make sure you have alot of traffic for people to be interested in advertising with you.

Can you make lots of money from a blog?

This all depends on you and your blog. One thing you need to do for sure is write a good blog that your readers will enjoy. Don't write about something you don't enjoy yourself, your readers will see through it.

The second thing you need to do is concentrate on your audience. Make sure your traffic is targeted. Attract people that are looking for your information. These visitors are likely to stay on your blog, look at your products or click on your ads. This is where internet marketing comes in.
