There are several ways you can earn descent money online. The most important thing is to find something that interests you and try to market it.

Sell your own product – would be one of the most profitable ways to make money. You could build a customer base easy by selling on eBay or Ioffer.com.

Affiliate Marketing – build an information website on related topics and post affiliate links and banners.

Drop-shipping – about 8 years ago, drop shipping was popular. But do to the high membership fees and lack of inventory. You may spend more money than you make.

Provide some type of service – There are several freelance websites online today that will allow you to signup free and sell your service to a variety of customers. I’ve personally have used Rent-A-Coder.

These are just a few ways you make could make money online.

Forums are your most powerful resource to drive traffic to your website, but many people do not know how to use them. Web forums are places where you can express your opinion and answer questions.

The proper way to post to forums is to express your opinion and answering questions. When expressing your opinion, briefly comment on what concerns you or your interest and relate it to an article or product on your website.

Please Read the Example below!

Forum Topic: Making Money Online

My subject: Why I think most people are not making any money online

My Comment: Over the last several months, I have noticed an increase in forum questions about people not making any money online. Just last week I read an article “Some article title talking about making money online.”

That stated the reason people are not making money online was because they are not spending any money. I found this article to be so untrue, and not only did I comment back to the author, I also posted a reply article, “my article about there is still money to be make online.”

The opinions and statement made in the article I read was untrue and outrageously wrong. The example above shows that, I posted to a forum topic that related to my website and a subject that I well understood.

My subject relates to the forum and the topic within the forum category.

Why I think most people are not making any money online.

In my comment I expressed the issues, which related to the forum topic and my subject

Over the last several months, I have notice an increase in forum question about people not making any money or enough money online. Just last week I read an article “Some article title talking about making money online.” That stated the reason people are not making money online was because they are not spending any money.

I express my opinions.

I found this article to be so untrue, and not only did I comment back to the author, I also posted a reply article

I also advertised my website, posted a credible back link to my site, and just drove tons of free traffic to my website with:

I also posted a reply article, “my article about there is still money to be made online.” The statements the author made about making money online in the article I read was untrue and outrageously wrong.

With just one forum post, I will drive 100s, or even 1000s of interest visitors to my site that where interested in the forum topic I posted.

Not every website can be a MySpace or eBay. You have to remember that only 1% of websites only strike it big overnight, when trying to make their first million.

An even for those websites, it may have took 2 years or more before they became million dollar companies. Most people perception of the large internet companies is that they became successful overnight.

But what you will find is that most of them where on the internet at least 2 years or longer before they became household names.

Whenever you create a website, it is like opening a restaurant in the middle of a forest and no one knows you exist. Well, the good thing about the internet is that it has bird messengers called, web spiders (Google Bots, msn Bots, and etc). Web spiders search the internet looking for new and quality information. So, the only thing you need to do is provide the content (information) for the birds to report back.

I do not care what other enthusiast say, internal links are just as important as external links. Internal links tells search engine spiders you have a lot of content (information) and most importantly, it is all related.

So what the search engine spiders do? They report the information on your website back to the search engine. Letting the search engine know that your website provide plenty of quality information. So, when a person search the internet with one or more of your keywords, the chances of them finding one of your links are good.

When publishing a new website online, the first rule of thumb to remember is traffic before money. Most people who are new to making money online feel if they build it, the money will come. That is not necessarily true.

Think about it, if you build a restaurant in the middle of a forest, how much money will you make if no one knows your restaurant exist? My advice to newbie’s is always make yourself known, post on forums, Bogs, and other website that will allow you to post to them.

If you run across a question or comment on a Blogs or forum, answered the question if you know the answer.

People love information, especially tutorials, tips and tricks. If you can provide an answer to a person’s question or resolve their problem. I promise you, they will re-visit your site.

To increase your web traffic, follow these three simple rules; Information, information, and Information. The more information you provide on your website, the more visitors you will receive.

Always make your primary goal to reach as many people as you can. When you understand this, the money will follow.

Setting goals is the best strategy when it comes to making money online. As I have stated many times before, diving right in without any goals can be fatal. In saying that, I have listed below my step-by-step goals in details. I follow each time I advise a person to take when trying to make money online.

Brainstorm – Try to think of a topic, product, or service that is interesting or could help others. Start by thinking of things you like, would like to happen or things of your interest. You would be amazed at how many people share the same ideas or interest as you.

Create information – build up information about your brainstorm, whether its articles, advertisement ads or etc. Try to write 10 to 15 articles or ads about your brainstorm before publishing an online website. Believe it or not, but content (INFORMATION) is what drive traffic to your website. The more information you could provide, the better the traffic.

SEO Ready Website – created or can package, make sure your website is SEO friendly. If you build your site from scratch, there are several tutorials online that can help you create a success SEO friendly website. You could also try me free e-book, SEO Friendly, to help you get started in creating a SEO friendly site. There are also many free packages for none web programmers like; Word Press and Joomla.

Web Traffic Before Money – once you have your website online, your next and most important goals is to get traffic to your website. I try to tell people to try to at least average around 500 visits per month on your third month. Researching online you will find there are many ways to push traffic to your site. Below is a list of just a few things you can do to increase traffic to your site. But most important, it takes time.

• Add signature to your forum avatars and emails.
• Replying to forums and blogs on topics that relate to your website.
• Creating newsletters.
• Advertising using banners or text ads.
• Posting articles on your website, blogs, and other free article websites.

Setting goals can ease your stress when trying to have a successful website, which could lead to making money. As I mentioned before, one of the number one killers to failed websites is diving right in, with no goals and with only one purpose, that is to only make money.

If you where to ask any successful business owner or website owner. The first thing they would tell you, the reason for their success was because they set goals for themselves. But before you go and just start writing down goals, you need to realize you have to set goals that are reachable.

Setting unreachable goals cannot only be stressful but can also lead to failure. Example, if you just open a new online bookstore selling how to books. You set your first goal to sell 1000 books in 2 months hoping to profit $1000.

This type of goal is an SFFG, “SETUP FOR FAILURE GOAL” and could lead you to shutdown your online store. The more suitable goal would be; to sell at least 5 books a week for my first month and increase you’re book sells by 2 each month. This would be a more reachable goal, and increases your chance of success. Because whenever you are successful, it builds confidents and confidents build success.

Listed below are my standard goals when starting an online website. With these goals you can apply them to any ideas you may have to help you in becoming successful.

The goals that I use to be successful are: find a topic, create content, publish the site, build traffic, and the money will come.

• Brainstorm for 1 week about a topic, product or service that interests you.
• Create 10 – 15 articles about the topic you are interested in within a 2 week time period.
• Publish your website online
• Set a target goal to average at least 200+ visitors per month by 3-month online.
• Join affiliate program and post ads on your website.

The reason most website owners fail to make money online is because they make money their number one priority. They build a website without putting any thought into what it was build for; their only goal is to make money.

Now do not get me wrong, one of your goals should be to make money, but don’t make that your only goal. Your priority should be to help or please your site visitor, then making money. If you can provide unique reliable information, product, or service making money will be easy as 123.

Welcome! First I would like to thank you for visiting one of the few website that will help you to achieve success in making money online.

What do I need to make money online?

Before you can make any money online, you need to find out tactics and strategies on making money online.

Making money should be secondary – If you ask the average Joe-blow, the primary objective of putting a website online is to make money. If making money is the only objective you have when putting a website online, then you could be setting yourself up for failure. Like many people, if the money does not come in within the first hour. You immediately label your niche as a failure and give up.

Good Unique Niche – A topic, idea, product to sell, or service. Through trial and error, I have found that a good unique niche could determine your success level when trying to make money online.

Patients – If you don’t have patients, you do not need to try to make money online. Most people think as soon as they open the doors to their online website, people will rush it and within hours they feel they should make thousands of dollars. Depending on your website SEO, it could take your website up to one month to a year before you see any real money.

Knowledge – make sure you are knowledgeable about your niche, especially if you are selling a product or service. Most of your visitors are either novice or enthusiest about your niche but just need you, the expert, to confirm the information on your site will help them.
