Is it REALLY Possible?
If this book represents your first foray into the world of making money
online you may be asking yourself the question “is it really possible to
earn money on the Internet?” The answer to this question is an
unmitigated 'yes'
...
I'm not just talking about big companies by the way, but
individuals working from the comfort of their own homes using websites
they created to earn incredible sums of money every year, in and year
out
...
” Actually, nothing could be further from the
truth
...
There is an incredible amount of information available
to you to help you get started with your own profitable online business
no matter how much or how little experience you may have
...
Make
sure to take your time and study each section carefully because
throughout the book we have provided you with detailed information
and website links that will give you all the resources necessary to get
started today
...
The
topic of deciding what type of Internet business to own is immense
...

You'll never earn a dime if you don't take action so deciding on what
type of business you will own and what type of product you'll sell
should be something that you decide on rather quickly
...

One of the easiest ways to get up and running with Internet business is
through the sale of information products
...

Anyone who has an interest on any subject would welcome more
detailed information about their interest and providing this to them in an
attractive easy to consume product has been the basis of more than one
success story on the Internet

Affiliate products

Becoming an affiliate of someone else's product is incredibly easy and
can be incredibly profitable
...
The product creator pays you, the affiliate, a
commission for each sale you make, and in turn, you won't be in charge
of any of the overhead or service related to creating, delivering, or
servicing the product once you make the sale
...
In addition, many info marketers have created individual
products for sale on the Internet and will allow you to earn commissions
on the sales as well
...

One of the easiest places online to find all of the affiliate programs you
may ever need is www
...
com
...

Simply choose one of these products and build your website and
marketing efforts around it
...
Once you sign up
for a program you will be allowed to use a myriad of graphics and
advertising materials to help you achieve your sales goals
...
The only way
to do this is to create your own product
...
The fact is, all of your experiences, talents, and
skills if put down in the proper format, could very well represent a value
to someone else that doesn't have that knowledge or skill
...
If there is a big enough interest in a particular
subject matter that you have knowledge about then don't hesitate to
create a product
...

Creating your product doesn't require any special skill either
...

There are many places online you can use to outsource the work to be
created
...
For more detailed information about this
particular subject, simply go to Google and type in how to create an
info product and a plethora of solutions will be available to you
...
In this case, of course, your storefront will be
your website
...

Picking and buying your domain name

There is no rule that says the first step of creating your website should
be choosing your domain name but the name of your url will be used
throughout your marketing and on your website so it makes sense to go
ahead and take care of this one now
...
yourwebsite
...
In this case,
yourwebsite would be your domain name
...
If your
website is about learning how to play tennis better, then
www
...
com would make a pretty good website
address
...
Most really short domain names
are pretty much gone these days but if you can find one that fits, it might
make for a great choice

Incorporate keywords if possible-If you can include keywords
that people are searching for in your domain name, this will

There are certainly many places where you can purchase domain names
online but Go Daddy has made them their specialty and their familiarity
with the needs of their customers and providing a consistent level of
quality customer support has made them the true leader
...
Their full-time customer
service support team can take you through the entire process with ease
...
Your website needs a place to live on the Internet and
that's exactly what hosting services provide
...

There are several things to look for when choosing a hosting service and
only one of those is price
...
The key thing you want to
be concerned with is the quality and level of service you receive from
these hosting companies
It’s unfortunate to think about, but the fact is problems can and probably
will arise with your website at some point in time
...
This should include a variety of ways to communicate with
them including of course e-mail and phone
...
In addition, make
sure to note their hours of service because unlike a bricks and mortar
store, your website will be available to customers 24 hours a day seven
days a week; you want your host to be available for you as well
...
The process of doing
this is called FTP, or file transfer protocol
...

Below are just a few hosting companies that have provided markedly
good service over the years and are backed by an overwhelming amount
of positive feedback from past and existing customers
...

 http://www
...
com/ -Host gator has a great reputation in the
industry and depending on the scope of your project, can host your
website for as little as $4
...
In addition to the 1-800
number prominently displayed on their website, host gator
provides a variety of ways to communicate with them and operates
on a business model that features 24/7 customer service
...
thirdspherehosting
...
While other hosting services provide you with some
options to help you build a website, third sphere actually features
this as one of the main benefits of signing with their company
...

 http://www
...
com -for those of you just starting
out and who are on an extremely tight budget, you may consider
cheaphosting-one
...
While their services are not as comprehensive as
those listed above, and they don't offer phone support at this time,
the company does stand behind the service of its products and can
represent a great choice for someone just starting out
...
All of the amount
of work that goes into designing and building a website not to mention
driving traffic to it in order to sell a product you are featuring would be
completely a waste of time if no one can see it
...
If you latch
onto a good one early, you may have just started a relationship that will
last for years and wind up being very, very profitable for your business
...

Like all aspects of products and services that are available on the
Internet, there is almost an unlimited amount of directions you can go
with the creation of your website
...
Nowadays, Internet customers are savvy
and it takes a good deal of marketing and sales initiative to encourage
them to make a purchase with you versus another online vendor
...

Elements of a successful website

 Website design/graphics-if you've spent any amount of time
at all searching on the Internet you've probably seen some
pretty flashy websites
...
All too often, people
assume that they must make their website as bold and
Making Money Online: Let’s Get Started

graphically intense as possible but this just isn't necessary
...
There is no specific rule that
states that you must have a ridiculous amount of loud
graphics in which to do this and oftentimes a simple website
will work even better than one that is flashy
...

A good combination of attractive graphics that are specific to
your product as well as a decent amount of content designed
to help sell it is what is required
...

In addition, pictures of the product you are selling as well as
any other pictures that pertain to the product are often
helpful
...

 Creating your sales page-when someone hits your website it
is your job to make sure that the message offered is
compelling enough to encourage them to purchase the
product
...

Making Money Online: Let’s Get Started

Basically, the content, at least on the front page of your
website, will be a part of the makeup of the sales page
...

Creating a sales page that really does an affective job of
converting website visitors to purchasers is somewhat of an
art form
...
One way is simply to create the
sales letter yourself
...

If you choose to go it alone there are some great resources on
the web to help you out, just search for how to write a sales
letter on the Internet to get a hold of all of the free
information you need to help you on your journey to
completing your first sales letter
...
Here are a few links to some that can help you get
this job done:

 Customer Tracking and follow up-once you get to the point
where people are actually visiting your website you want to
make sure that you capture some of their information because
if they don't buy the very first visit, you have no way to
follow up with them if they leave
...
An autoresponder is
simply a type of software that will allow you to load
prewritten messages into it and send them out to your
potential prospects at regular intervals
...
The free offers
associated are the follow-up messages you will send using
the autoresponder that are in the form of tips and valuable
information pertaining to the subject of the product you're
selling
...

Offering any helpful tips and information pertaining to the
subject they're interested in is often valued by the prospects
and they may stay on your mailing list for some time and
eventually buy the product you are selling when they signed
up, or maybe choose to purchase something else you begin
selling at a later date
...

...
Remember, your autoresponder basically acts like
an employee for your company and will work tirelessly to
remind everyone of your presence in the types of offers you
have available
...

Setting up an autoresponder account through Aweber is
extremely easy and the customer service they offer will help
to walk you through the process the first time if necessary
...
Most businesses simply included information of
where you could send your check or money order or a 1-800 number that
you could call to make a purchase over the phone
...
If someone is
interested in your product and they're ready to buy it you have to provide
them the ability to do so
...

Your website must have the ability to process customer's payments in
order to deliver the product they wish to purchase
...
In order to make the most
money from your website you want as many payment options as
possible so choosing both of these options is the best way to do this
...

With PayPal, you simply have to register and add your bank account
information and have it verified
...

When you're ready to make a withdraw, simply click withdraw and the
money will be put into your bank account

How to Get Visitors
The subject of getting traffic to your website is immense
...

Attracting quality targeted traffic is perhaps the most valuable skill you
can possess as an Internet marketer
...
We decided
the best way to handle the subject in our book here was to simply
provide a list of some of the most common ways of attracting website
traffic with the ones that are generally considered the easiest and will
produce the fastest results first
...

 Telling everyone you know-once your website goes live,
shout it out to the world! While not everyone that you know
will be interested in the product you may be selling, they may
know of someone who is or may be able to offer you
valuable insight as to how to make your website better
...
You simply put the
URL of your website underneath your name on every e-mail
and it acts as a constant source of free advertising for you
...

 Article marketing-article marketing is exactly what it
sounds like: articles that are written about the subject of the
types of products you sell are submitted to online directories
...

If the article is written well and piques the interest of the
reader then they may choose to click on your website
...
This
way, if someone is looking for something in the search
engines on the topic that your product is about, it is more
likely that they will find your website in the search results
...

 Linking from other sites-just as in the case of article
marketing, your website link featured on another webpage is
a very good thing indeed
...
In addition, all
the links back to your website will help to push you up in of
the results of the search engines as well
...
I do not recommend
starting here until you get some background knowledge of
how this program works
...

If your bid is high enough then your website will appear at
the top of the listings thereby greatly increasing the potential
that someone will click on your website
...
Thus this method of traffic
generation can be very expensive if you don't know exactly
what you're doing
...

 SEO-SEO stands for search engine optimization
...
This is perhaps the most difficult and most
misunderstood aspects about the subject of Internet
marketing
...
Because of this, many people are still
Making Money Online: Let’s Get Started

trying older tactics that no longer produce real results so
therefore it is easy to become confused with the information
that you find on the net
...

When the mechanics of a search engine are indexing websites
for content in order to properly rank them, websites that
feature fresh and updated content rank much better than
others that stay static
...

There are many firms that offer search engine optimization
services but be careful, and make sure to verify the results
that they have obtained for others before entering into an
agreement with them or you could wind up spending a lot of
money with very little results to show for it
...
The entire
process is of course much easier said than done, but if you take the time
to understand the information that has been given and investigate the
resources provided to you via the various web links, you can have your
very own profit producing website set up easily in less than a week
...

Because this is a business, you should treat it like one and work to
constantly make improvements on all facets including the look and feel
of your website, the conversion rate at which you turn visitors into
buyers, as well as the different ways you can use to drive traffic toward
it
...

The landscape is changing all the time and the best that you can do is try
to stay abreast of the current information about what works and what
doesn't work in the world of online marketing
