Way to Make Money as a Freelancer

Guest post by Anand Srikantaiah

Freelance writing is a great opportunity for anyone seeking to make money. The great thing about freelance writing is that you can work your own hours. There is no long-term commitment involved and you can pick your own employer. Due to the fact there is always demand for good freelance writers, the good ones receive a lot of assignments and are paid quite well. Some freelance writers especially those who are just starting out, make .01 per word or less, while experienced freelance writers can easily make .10 per word or more.

Here's an example: let's assume that an article consists of 500 words, and if you are getting .10 per word, that's $50 an article. If you can write 4 articles today, that is $200. It's really that simple. Even more so, there are a lot of websites where you can submit your articlces in exchange for a certain amount of money, and you will receive extra commissions if your article becomes popular.

A wise man once said practice makes perfect. This concept is valid when it comes to writing as well. The more you write, the better you get. You will control the language much better. Knowing this, you can easily success when it comes to any job interview, if you'd be interested in something like that. Good writers can use their talents in many places. They can easy score a job as a business salesman, movie writer or journalist. All of these are high paying jobs, definitely something worth keeping in mind. Money does make the world go around, and more and more talented individuals are tempted to pursue this exciting career.

Life is sometimes just like a popularity contest. Writers are often good in conversations. When you can use the language more effectively, you can talk better with people as well and talk about your writing services which convinces potential customers to send work your way.

Being a freelance writer can be considered a full-time job with no commitment. There is simply no better job than this one once you get the hang of things. Being able to work your own hours, write what you want, harness your knowledge and use it to your advantage, get better and still get paid is no job at all. That is more of a childhood fantasy which you can turn into reality. Your life is in your hands. You can work and labor throughout your entire existence and not reap the rewards, but with freelance writing, you see the benefits each day. Simply put, freelance writing is a great opportunity for anyone with a piece of paper, a computer and a dream.

Why A Membership Website Can Explode Your Income

There are many different ways to make money online. You can sale affiliate products, physical goods, hawk your goods on e-bay or earn money as a freelancer. Only your imagination, knowledge and willingness to take a chance will limit your ability to be successful online. One of the best ways to earn a living online is to start and maintain a membership website. Starting a membership website is one way to multiple the profitability of your efforts. Instead of selling one e-book, a few articles or a product to one person, you are able to take those same “goods” and sell them to more then one person. This means less work and more money.

Let me give you an example. If you are a freelancer writer, you may be able to charge anywhere between $5-$10 for one article (depending on where you advertise, how good you are and the amount of experience that you have. For the purpose of this illustration, let’s say that you charge $5 an article. This means that you would be able to sell 10 articles for $50. On the other hand, if you started a content membership website, you could earn much more money with those same 10 articles. If you charged your members $5 a month for 10 articles and you had 100 members, you would be earning $500 for those same 10 articles instead of $50.

As you can see, it is possible to make a great deal of money by simply starting a membership website. Besides, the profitability, membership websites are pretty easy to start. If you have basic html skills, you can create a sales page and then a download page where your members can access their content and/or products.

You have a few options when it comes to payment processors. Two great choices are Paypal and Clickbank. Both companies allow you to bill your members on a monthly basis. You won’t have to worry about collecting payments, this is done for you. This makes things a ton easier and will prevent a lot of headaches.

There are a bunch of niches that would make for a great membership website. You simply need to find a subject that you believe people would be willing to pay money for. Then deliver top notch information. Some good niches might be centered around people who are battling addictions, want to make money online, are interested in losing weight or homeschooling. Any topic that you believe people would want to learn more about and be willing to pay information for would work.

Next, simply provide them with top notch information. You can create short reports or purchase PLR to products or other content that you think would be well received and add them to your membership website. Also, consider providing leads on discounts, sales or free resources. It is important to update your content on a consistent basis so make sure that you are committed to the process or you will have some angry customers on your hands.

Membership websites are a great way to make good money online. It does not take a great number of members for you to do pretty well for yourself financially. Consider if you charged $15 a month for your membership site and you had 100 members, you would be earning $1500 a month. Now say you created more membership sites, you could easily double or triple this amount. If the workload gets too big, simply outsource your tasks.

Membership sites can be a goldmine. They do however, require commitment and consistency. You have to be able to follow through. However, if you are willing, you can do very well for yourself.

Making Money Online - Myth, Dream, Reality?

Guest post by Mike Primer

I will explain my experience with a little humor. I was selling online nationally before Google even existed. It was a time when cell phones still came in large black bags the size of a small shoe box. If you're scratching your head because you don't remember those trust me, it was a long time ago.

Over the years I have watch the internet take many crazy twists and turns, but I will admit it has been a fun ride. I hope to give you REAL insight about making money online.

Starter Rules…

1) Find Your Passion
A friend of mine started a deer hunting website a few years ago. It was a "fun hobby". He enjoyed working on it because it was a "passion" and he was an expert. People came to the site because they enjoyed it. Soon he had over 100,000 people a month coming to his website and it now generates him over $1200 a month. The same applies to you. If you don't enjoy it, it won't work.

2) Would You REALLY Buy it?
If you wouldn't buy something and don't TRULY believe in the "product or service" why would you expect others to do the same. A "program" designed to make money will net you nothing. A great product or service will.

3) Is there a Large Audience?
A friend of mine loves soccer. His kids play and he coaches. He ordered training videos from http://www.SoccerU.com and loved them. He found they had an affiliate program and he posted their banner on all his sites. Guess what? None of his sites were "soccer sites". However, everyone from bank presidents to janitors have kids in soccer. Soon he was generating enough income to pay for his kid's soccer expense. Don't get too narrow.

4) Keep Your Goals Low
Start off thinking you're going to make $10,000 next month and you'll be down in the dumps very soon. Use your efforts as a learning experience to start with. Set your goals VERY low. Make $10 the first week, and then double that the following week. The one thing I have learned is that "learning" is expensive.

Making a NET PROFIT, not just sales…

Finally I think you should make sure that you try and make a net profit. Now, having said that, most people forget to add in their time.

Let me explain. If next month you put in 80 hours into your "new internet business" and made a profit of $600, would you be happy?

Well if you spent $250 on program costs, hosting and advertising that would leave you with a net profit of $350. Divide that by 80 hours and you are getting paid $4.37 an hour. Do this for 5 years and you made $14,800.

Now go get a part-time job making $8 hour for that same period and you would have $38,400.

My point is pretty simple. If you need some extra income, the web is not always the best solution. Find your niche and it will work. Simply "do it to do it" and your better off getting a real job. Pick your passion, fall in love with it, and STICK with it.

How Flipping Websites can be a Lucrative Business

Guest post by Althaf

If you visit sites like Sitepoint.com or Digitalpoint.com, you will notice websites being bought or sold for a lot of money. Sometimes, sites are sold for a few hundred dollars and other times they are sold for a few thousands. The business of selling websites/blogs have known to be very lucrative for a long time.

What makes certain websites to be sold for a lower amount and others for a higher amount. This is what I want to focus on today's article. I hope this brief writing will serve as a reference guide, if ever you plan to get into this business.

There are certain factors that buyers look for when buying a website. Some of them are:

Domain name - If the domain name contains an important keyword or two, then it is more valuable in the eyes of the investor, as it can be easily remembered by the visitors and attract more returned visitors.

Content - I have seen sites that have had duplicate content that have been sold for couple of hundred dollars. These sites basically had a 1000 plus articles in them and were attracting some visitors from Google and other search engines. At the same time, I have seen sites with just 50-100 original articles that were driving tons of targeted keyword traffic from the same search engines. One such site got sold for about $9,000. The differences were the original content and the level of respect the latter site had achieved in Google database.

Traffic - These days you can start a site and get traffic from day 1 through media sites like Digg and Stumbleupon. Stumbleupon especially can get you 50-100 visitors per day easily. The point to note is, that social medial traffic has next to zero conversion. If you are looking for good opt-ins, trying to sell an affiliate product, or expecting few clicks on your AdSense ad, then social medial traffic isn't for you. They are simply blind to these elements. On the other hand, if your website get a steady stream of traffic from search engines, then the conversion percentage is higher. This add tremendous value to your site. There are many sites on the Internet that thrive on search engine traffic, they make over $20,000 in passive (almost) income every month.

There sure are other factors when evaluating a website for investment, such as RSS subscribers if any, bounce rate, average time of engagement, etc. Not everyone looks at these factors as much as they do the above 3 points I mentioned.

The next time you plan to develop a website for flipping (selling), pay attention to the 3 factors I explained above. They could make or break the deal.

Make Money Online with Top Affiliate Programs

Guest post by Khareem

Everyone wants their home internet business to making them as much money as possible. How much money you actually make is determine by the types of affiliate programs you choose to promote on you site, and there is a wide variety of programs you could join. There are so many affiliate programs on the internet that it's so hard to mention all of them. But you will get the best.

Staying relevant to your main niche or subject matter is of course one of the major things you should consider to be successful. Let say for example let's say if you have your health related website showing ads about computer parts, chances are you're not going to get good result. On the other hand if you put ads on that site about diet pills etc. You will stand a better chance at raking in the cash and have you home business running the way it should.

The affiliates that you could join that will help you with your home business and will get you earning a good income if you go about advertise it the right way.

One of the top paying affiliate programs is Clickbank which is a nice generator for huge commission. This program is like a product directory for affiliate programs. Many people become a member of Clickbank in order to promote their products which are digital products such as eBooks, software's etc. After those products are accepted by Clickbank and added to their database of products, webmasters like you and I grab at the opportunity to promote these products and get some commission. If you're looking to start a work from home website or already have a website, I would advise you to take a look at some of the products Clickbank have to offer, just check out the Clickbank market place. If you don't have a website that's not a problem, you could learn how to use Google, yahoo or MSN to start and ad campaign and start promoting the link that they give to you and you will be able to keep track of your sales by jus logging in to your Clickbank account.

Another program is Commission Junction. This company is another one of the leaders in affiliate marketing. Commission Junction provides their affiliates with quality product to promote because the advertisers/Merchants the sells the products are relatively bigger and better developed companies. This is a very good advantage for the affiliates because they can promote products that are reliable and keep their websites trustworthy.

Websponsors is another affiliate program. These costs per action affiliate programs are great for adding revenue to your bottom line through your web site.

One of our favorite income earners for webmasters is Google ad sense. It is very popular website owners and bloggers. With Google you can paste the code into you site and get pays every time someone clicks on it, But one the things you should avoid is clicking those ads yourself. That's a guarantee to get banned from the program. For a starter you can make over $400 dollars a week or maybe even more from Google ad sense.

So if you want to be on the road to making money online with your work from home business then these are some of the programs you could get involved with but remember these programs won't start making money until u start to attract visitors/traffic to your site.
