I have been working as an internet marketer for over 5 years – and a lot has changed in that time in terms of how to how to make money on the internet. In the old days it was simple to slap together a site and fire it to the front page of Google. You have to realise that competition is always increasing as more people try to make money on the internet. What I can teach you is how to place yourself in the top 1% of internet marketers, and give you the tools for ongoing consistent passive income – sound ok to you?
Fastest Ways To Make Money On The Internet?
There is little doubt in my mind when I say that the easiest ways to make money online is through affiliate marketing and adsense. Many experts will say you have to be doing PPC to succeed – I dont agree. I recommend newcomers avoid ppc at first – you can get seriously burnt if you don’t know what you are doing.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is without doubt the easiest way to make money on the internet. Affiliate marketing works well as you promote the product and get the commission every-time someone buys through your link. The best affiliate network is Clickbank – and you will get paid every 2 weeks via direct deposit into your bank account. Affiliate marketing works like this – you create a blog or site promoting a product – you link to the product via your affiliate link – and if someone purchases you get a commission. You dont have to worry about customer support as the product takes care of this.
And Google Adsense?
Adsense is the term loosely applied to having advertising on a content based website, which you receive money for every time someone clicks on one of the ads. The most popular network is the Google Adsense network – there are other networks available also such as Yahoo which allow you to do the same thing.
All you need to do to succeed with adsense is build a site based on quality articles. You can also get PLR articles which are ready written articles you just need to edit and re-submit as your own. You can also hire a copywriter to write articles for you if you have a bit of money to spare. Selection of the niche is the absolute key to ongoing profits with adsense. What you are seeking is high traffic / low competition niches which make it easier to grab the front pages of Google.
Traffic – Free Traffic vs Paid Traffic (PPC)
Now traffic is something I am going to go into in my future articles, however for the purpose of this article I just wanted to highlight the differences between free and paid traffic (PPC). There are various ways you can drive traffic to your site – some of the best ways to day are:
Article marketing
Press Release Submissions
Blog Posting
social network posts – Propeller, StumbleUpon, Digg etc
Forums
The key to driving free traffic is the creation of original fresh content, which is written from the readers point of view and clearly states the reason they need your product – and should click through your content to do so. Thats it basically – there is no cheat – you need to invest the time and effort into creating the content – then traffic and seo results will follow.
As I mentioned earlier you can get burnt big time with PPC if you lack experience. Its really tricky learning PPC – if you dont know what you are doing you can get burnt big time and have no sales to show for it. The average CPC of affiliate marketing products is often high – as is the competition and hence opportunity for sales. You are better off focusing on free methods – then when you start making money – putting that back into PPC.
Conclusion
Things have definitely changed in terms of how to make money online. It is pretty clear that adsense and affiliate marketing are the quickest ways to achieve this. The crucial ingredient is continual submission of quality content with links back to your site. I suggest you avoid PPC til you get the experience and knowledge to use it properly. With persistence and patience I am confident you will make money on the internet.
