So You Want to Make Money Online

Guest Post by Jeff from onlinemoneymakingeasy.com

Who doesn’t want to make more money, right? I get pumped every time I find a new way to make money on the internet. The possibilities for online money making really are endless. The important thing to do when starting out looking for the opportunity that is right for you is to stop and think of what you know and what your passions are. In this post I will cover two of the most basic ways to get started making money online.

The first of these is the most obvious and common way – Paid Surveys. It is simple to start and you set the limit on your earnings depending on the time you have to put toward them. I am sure you have heard of websites that offer lists of companies lining up to pay your for your opinion. What you probably don’t realize is that not all of these sites are the same. Some sites offer these lists for free and some require a membership fee to gain access. So what is the difference and why pay for a list? Well, it can be the difference between getting $.50 per survey and getting $10.00 per survey. The sites that require a membership fee include surveys that on average pay more per survey than the free survey sites. Most of the paid survey sites also offer a list of focus groups you can participate in as well as other ways to make money. Focus group pay by the hour and have the potential for making a lot of cash.

The second way is to start a blog. The important thing to know when starting a blog site is to pick a topic you have some knowledge about. If you don’t you will find very quickly it is hard to write about something you have no experience with and no passion for doing. It is extremely important to keep your blog updated, daily if possible, with fresh content that people will be interested in and will continue visit your site or subscribe to your feed. When you get your blog started and some posts up you can start to focus on getting traffic through social networking sites like twitter, Facebook, and Myspace. Join them, get some followers, and recommend your blog. You will want to set up a Google Adsense account to monetize your blog and you can also sell advertising or promote affiliate products as well to make money. Just as is the case with paid surveys, there are programs you can purchase which step you through setting up, monetizing, and optimizing your blogs to maximize you potential to make money online.

I hope I have given you some helpful tips about how you can get started today making money online. Working from home and making a living online full time is a great feeling but like everything in life worth working for, it takes dedication and there is a learning curve. However, if you work hard and consistently, you will make money online.

Making Money Online - Its All About Exposure

Guest post by Carael Knight

Exposure, exposure, exposure. This is the name of the game on marketing on the internet. I don't care what anyone else will tell you. Exposure equals traffic and traffic equals sales. Marketing on the internet is really not that difficult once you have a strategic plan of action in place. Now lets break this down even further for a second so that you can have a better understanding of what marketing is. The first you must do is, find a niche or something of interest to you that you would like to market and make money online. It doesn't necessarily have to be your passion but at the same time, if your very passionate about something, in my experience, ideas comes to you better and more often.

The second thing to do is find places such as websites, blogs or anything of similar niches so that you all can network and share ideas. This will be like, "killing two birds with one stone" because it will not only boost your credibility, but it gives you backlinks to your site/blogs, thus producing the end result which is exposure. Always network with people, companies, webmasters, internet business owners that are in your industry. You never
know who can help you or where your next "big break" will come from.

Marketing on the internet is like "independent marketing" because you make it what it is. Whatever you put in it is what your going to get out of it. If you really think about it, its not your product, service, or brand that you are marketing online, its really "yourself" (especially if no one knows you). This website is a prime example of what exposure actually is. As you all know, this is another website owners site but since we share the same niche, I've been blessed to have this article on this site as a guest post. This is some of the techniques that will definitely help you in your journey to make money online. You see, by networking with people online that are in your niche, is one of the best ways to build exposure.

Article Writing Strategies to Make Money Online

With the rising number of lucrative opportunities littering the web, it is no longer a question of how to make money online. The real question now is how to increase profits from various online activities, from buying and selling, affiliate marketing, directory management and of course, article writing.

Article writing has taken the craft of writing several notches up as profitable venture that writers can conveniently enjoy at home. The demand for writing services varies from informative articles, to product reviews, to blogs, to press releases and to directory list taglines. The subjects covered by online writers and marketers are encompassing, ranging from health, entertainment, finance, travel, to name a few.

Article writing as a tool to make money online requires more than tinkering on your keyboard to craft a collection of words that attribute to one general idea. Certain strategies have to be observed by serious online writers to ensure the quality and efficiency of each article made and published online. Here are some pointers.

Incorporate search engine optimization or SEO features in your article. Use keywords that have been calculated to be among the widely searched keywords by internet users. SEO is a marketing tool that you can employ to improve the status of your article or blog in search engine result listings. Successfully incorporating SEO will take your page closer to potential viewers, thus increasing the traffic of your site.

Blend in SEO keywords as naturally as possible. Writing for articles online entail efficiency and quality that should not compromise either the profit-generating and informative objective of the article. Proper keyword placement is not only beneficial to the look of your site and the quality of your article, but also in the relevance rate of your content. Including too many keywords will send your site and your article to the base line along with other spam-labeled pieces.

Bank on building links with other sites and blogs. Readers check the credibility of web content by the depth of its discussion. If you are writing on a sizeable topic, insert links that readers can follow to understand the subject better. Advertising links are portals to make money online while enhancing the scope of your article.

Organize and manage your site or blog using tools and plug-ins that you can get for free. These online features will do the publication of your work more justice by creating a pleasant and inviting background to pair a well-written work.

A Booming Online Business: E-book Selling

Low-cost self-help e-books that deal with money making schemes and such on- and offline are in high demand these days. This is because people are slowly opening their eyes to the benefits that the internet and technology bring to marketing their products and even services. Also, these e-books help the regular internet surfer get ideas on what he can do to earn as he does so. E-book selling is indeed now a booming business today.

E-book selling can net you 100% profit compared to the 10 to 25% that you usually get from those of traditional businesses. The business scheme is likely cheaper than selling books which have been published in print simply because it’s free to publish such things on line than getting a publishing company to print your work for you on paper. There is also less barriers you need to go through when e-book selling as opposed to getting your work published by renowned printing companies.

Before you can sell your e-books, however, here are some things you need to know to market your e-book wisely. First tip is to fully understand the nature of your business and the e-book itself. Should you let your clients download freely as they pay? Or should your clients achieve a certain level first before they could avail of the e-book you’re selling? Either way you choose, you can be assured that this will keep your clients of being dissatisfied with the product or rather, the e-book. Second, you should establish guidelines on who is able to download or access the product. You can either set up a password for your customers after providing them a sample of your work for preview or you could allow them to download it and then ask them to pay for it as they’ve read a part of it. Lastly, determine the use of your e-book. Is it for personal use? Is it for business use? How about to help your target market, the students, with their academics? This will, in turn, determine your target market.

Clients pay for e-books using their credit cards. In selling e-books, you should establish a reliable payment method that does not compromise their personal information. This can help establish trust between you and your customers. Their personal information should be protected from those who would want to exploit their personal information for other means.
