Do You Want to Make Money Online Easily?

Filed Under Review | Comments Off

Here at Make Money Blog a commonly asked question is “Why do you want to make money online?” Well, when you ask me that, you’re certain to get the right answer!

With good knowledge of the make money online business gained from intensive additional study into this profession so that I could help anyone with a state-of-the-art approach, I found this knowledge could also help me improve my own business.

By observing what other marketers were doing and using this extensive knowledge of the interaction between the search engines and SEO, I went on to develop my own theories as to how to make money online easily and simply. You can read all about it this very website where you’ll learn how to improve your own online business and make money online.

How to Make Money Online with Adsense

Adsense is potentially either one of the easiest ways to make a lot of money online, or it can be one of the hardest ways to make a few pennies online. It all depends upon how you approach it.

Go at it like a bull in a china shop and slap adsense ads up on a bunch of new blogs with scant regard for their optimization or SERPs authority and you have a recipe for disaster at worst, at best a miserable trickle of pennies flowing int your coffers.

Much better, if you really want to know how to make money online with Adsense is to plan out how you are going to go about it and do thing the right way form the start. That means researching your keywords first to find ones that attract a good deal of search engine traffic and ones that are not so competitive that you’ll be going up against a thousand other sites that have been around much longer and their owners know about SEO.

That pretty much rules out anything to do with the Make Money Online niche, as well as things like Credit Cards, Insurance, Weight Loss, Loans, Finance etc.

Stick to a less competitive niche and then build your sites with a view to being completely legit in the eyes of the search engines. That means plenty of original, relevant content. That content doesn’t have to be grammatically perfect by any means, it just has to be relevant and readable – ie not produced by a machine.

Then you have to get plenty of keyword anchored back links to the site in order to build up its SERPs authority so that it will rank on page one of Google, which is where you want it to be.

Only when you rank well and are attracting sufficient targeted organic traffic should you place Adsense ads on your site. If you’ve done your work properly and optimized your posts for your keywords, then the right ads will be served and your traffic will be more tempted to click them. Because your site is optimized, you’ll be served with higher value ads than one that is not optimized. That means you’ll earn more per click and if you get a high enough click through rate (CTR), you should see good income from your site.

That’s how to make money online with adsense and to make it relatively easily.

If you want to know more, you’ll have to read more of this website to find out, although I will say that you should only stick to the more recent posts, as older ones are outdated and may not carry the correct information that fits with the way things work today.

PS: By the way, if you were wondering, this is actually an ol post that I resurrected and re-dated to be current. Which is why the url shows a different title and the category is “review”, which it clearly is not!

How to Make Money Online for Beginners

Filed Under Make Money | 16 Comments

How to make money online for beginners is a question that a lot of people completely new to the whole aspect of Internet Marketing type into Google’s search engine and expect to find answers. Here at this Make Money Blog following on from my last post here at Make Money Blog, I’m going to give you some of those answers.

First of all, you need to learn the ropes. You have to do this before you can even begin to figure out how to make money online because everything is relevant and nothing can be taken for granted. There are lots of big fish out there who love to eat up little fish. They are the so-called experts of whom there are thousands, all vying with one another to grab every newcomer they can and suck them in to buying every product they can push onto them.

In a word, don’t listen to any of them. Do not buy the crap they are peddling because you don’t need 99% of it and very little of it will teach you anything that you cannot already get for free online.

This might sound strange coming from a Make Money type of blog, after all isn’t it the main objective to make money wherever and however you can?

No, it is not.

Especially when it comes from ripping people off to make that money. Its unethical and unneccessary. There are many ways to make money online and not all of them involve scamming people or selling them stuff they don’t need.

Ok, I have some ads in my sidebar just like everyone else does, but the ads I display are ones that I personally use and can vouch for. They are tools that enhance the money making abilities of my online business. This is something else you will discover as you start learning. This is a business and should be treated like a business.

That means you have to work hard, damned hard to turn it into a profitable business. There is no magic button that you can press and watch the money fall out of the sky. There are some online business people who do very well from their online businesses and you could say that yes, they are successful and it might appear like the money really does fall out of the sky for them. But none of them got to where they are overnight and it takes everybody and I mean everybody a certain amount of time to reach teh stage where they can say that they honestly make their living from their online business.

Do I?

Not yet. I’ll be honest with you.

I make money online, of course I do and from a combination of the many different streams of income I derive from the Internet I do make a living from it. But not all those sources of income come from pure Internet Marketing.

The bulk of my income comes from freelance writing assignments, which is another way how to make money online. It is honest in that no one gets ripped off and you do an honest days work for honest money.

Another source of income is from my building websites and selling them. That is a relatively new venture and promises to be profitable, but like all things, will take time to build up.

Other sources of income are from advertising on my many websites and blogs. This is the part of Internet Marketing that interests most newcomers to the business, because it really is set and forget. But not quite. Even the set and forget websites that get a small stream of income from people finding the sites and clicking the ads need maintenance. Sites need to be constantly promoted by getting links to them and adding fresh content every so often to keep them in good stead with the search engines who drive the all-important traffic to the sites. One of the sources of income that I don’t really get involved in but that can have some gain is in learning how to make money with PLR products. That link will take you to an excellent resource for just that!

And here is an important point that many newcomers just don’t get, especially if they find the wrong advice early on.

To begin with, you’ll need your own website or blog and there are several alternatives you can explore, from paid self hosted websites with your own domain name that you buy and pay for, or free hosted sites or blogs that cost you nothing but have the trade off that most will place their own ads on your site. Not all do, notably Blogger allows you to build your own blog for free and put your own ads on it.

Once you’ve built your cool site and put some monetisation on there, its no good sitting back and waiting for the world to find you. They won’t.

You need organic search traffic that the search engines, particularly Google send to you. Why? Because it is only organic search traffic that will click on your ads. The alternative to organic traffic is called social traffic that you can attract by using the many social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon etc. Social traffic is great if you want to get a lot of people reading your blog and get your name known. Its no good for making money.

Social traffic will not click on your ads, because they are just like you and probably have a site or sites just like yours as well. They know what ads are and they don’t want to buy your affiliate products because they can use their own affiliate links and get their own discount. They won’t click your PPC ads because they know they’ll be sent to a site they don’t want to go to.

If you want to know how to make money online, you must attract organic traffic. The only way to do that is to rank highly in the search engines for keywords that people search on and that they will buy stuff with. That is often NOT anything to do with how to make money online! This is a niche (a term used by Internet Marketers to describe a theme or topic of interest) in itself and is highly competitive. While there is money to be made in this niche – primarily because most newcomers find themselves here, just like you did – it is very competitive and takes far too much work to rise to the top.

Much better to choose a less competitive niche where you can sell products to people who are searching for them. Even then, there are some products that are highly competitive, such as weight loss, vitamins, ring tones, electronic gadgets, insurance, credit cards, loans, finance, mortgages etc. You get the picture. Go for less competitive niches and you stand a much better chance of rising to the top of Google’s index abd attracting visitors to yoru site. You won’t get as many as the top sites in the more competitive niches get, obviously, but you will get traffic and that traffic is much more likely to click on your ads and mak money for you.

There are several highly recommended resources for further information online where you can learn more in-depth tactics and techniques which will help you in your quest of how to make money online. One I cannot recommend more highly is Griz’s blog . This is one of those free blogger blogs and the author make a pot of money from it and shows you how he does it all for free. No scams or misdirections, its all solid, relevant information that if you act upon it, you will make money online.

That’s it for now. I’ll be back with more posts later…
