Make Money Online

uest Post by Joshua Lee

Finding a niche is essential to success in the blogging world, especially if you're writing a blog by yourself. Too often, I see people with great ideas set out to make their blog. And you know what happens? Nothing. They fail, even though their ideas were sound.

Why does this happen? Most often, it's because proper research wasn't done on the subject beforehand.

Let's take a common blog topic: Politics. You decided to make a politics blog. So, you get a nice sounding domain, some snazzy themes, load it up with great WordPress plugins, and start pumping out quality opinion pieces and news analysis every day. On top of that, you even advertise it on other blogs and do excellent SEO.


Is it going to work?

Well, it's certainly possible to succeed with this strategy, but it's like trying to climb up a steep cliff covered in dry ice without using your hands while blindfolded.

What's the problem, even after you did everything right?

You didn't focus on a niche! Sites that focus on the entirety of politics, such as The Huffington Post [on the Left] or RedState [on the Right], are not really niche blogs at all. Politics is a huge subject matter, after all. They have dozens of writers and editors working together to ensure huge amounts of quality content. Trying to compete with dozens of people working together, all by yourself, is just plain silly.

So, instead of a politics blog, let's look at a more closely targeted the audience, a niche if you will. For the sake of argument, we'll say I live in Colorado. I'm going make a niche blog, not about politics, but about progressive Colorado politics.

Notice how I'm putting in two qualifiers that focus who I'm targeting. I'm only looking for readers from Colorado, and only those that are interested in progressive views.

Huge national political blogs generally skimp on local state politics to focus on the big national issues, so there's certainly a lot of open space to grow. With this niche, you now know immediately who your audience is. What's the next step? Determine the market and the competition.

Obviously, the market for such a niche blog is smaller than a national political blog. Nevertheless, there are millions of progressive Internet users in Colorado, so there's certainly a big enough market.

What about the competition? Well, a simple Google search shows me only about a half dozen true competitors. This makes success much more easy.

There are thousands (if not millions) of political blogs all competing with each other to dominate the term politics. But, through restricting our niche to Colorado Progressive Politics instead, we've already eliminated a lot of that competition. With so much less competition, hard work, quality content, and solid SEO will put you on the front page results relatively quickly.

Focusing on a niche makes Google AdWords much more effective, too. For those that use it, now you have some specific search terms to use with it. Instead of trying to get traffic by targeting the term politics (a hotly contested and expensive item to get Google ads for), instead focus on your niche (Colorado progressive politics) and specific, related topics.

I hope this guide helps you on your way to creating a successful blog.

The social networking website, Twitter has become extremely popular and for good reason. It is a pretty cool website that allows individuals to keep up with their family, friends and associates. Savvy business owners and entrepreneurs are also using it to not only grow their businesses but to get repeat business. When used correctly, this is exactly what can happen.

The best way to use Twitter if you are looking to make money (and if you are an internet marketer, of course you are), is to encourage your customers or web visitors to follow you on Twitter. Promise them that they will be notified of any specials or sales that you will be offering. Make these special prices and deals available only to Twitter members. This will encourage them to sign up.


Make sure that you promote your Twitter account on a prominent place on your website. Add it to any e-books that you are selling or giving away as well as any articles that you write and submit to article directories. You want to grow your Twitter followers as much as you can. These people will act similarly to an email list. You will be able to keep in contact with them and sale them products in the future.

Once you get people to join and follow you on Twitter, you now can update them on any other products that you are selling or you can offer discounted prices. However, be sure to not only send out sales messages. Instead, provide some information that is informative and helpful. You want your followers to get some real value from you. If they begin to feel like they aren’t, then they may begin to simply ignore your messages.

If you decide to provide discounts, you need to provide some pretty significant ones. Try to offer 25% discounts or more. This will make people feel like they are real getting a deal. This will also encourage other people to follow you. While you will be charging less, you should increase the number of people that make purchases from you. Over time, if you can build up your “list” you can make a good amount of money simply from your Twitter account.

Twitter allows you to answer the question “What are you doing?” Your readers, i.e., friends, family, co-workers and/or customers can easily be updated on what is going on in your life or business. Provide well-written, relevant and informative posts and you can quickly develop an audience that can’t wait for your next update.

Twitter is much easier to manage then an email list. You don’t have to worry about fake email addresses, people complaining about spam, bounce backs or your messages being ignored. You simply provide updates to people that have already made a decision to follow you. Offer them good information that they are interested in as well as special discounts and sales. This will allow you to make first time sales and also create repeat business.

There was a time when you only had to write an optimized article, submit it to Ezinearticles and watch it rocket up the search engines, even for pretty competitive keywords or phrases. Today, it is much harder to get these types of results. One of the primary reasons is that there is a lot more competition then it used to be. A person could also count on getting traffic simply by being member. However, with more and more quality article directories popping up on the internet, this type of traffic is beginning to diminish as well.

More and more people have discovered the merits of article marketing and are utilizing it to grow their businesses. Also because this form of internet marketing has been around for some time, article marketers have gotten increasingly savvy.


They don’t simply write an article and hope that Ezinearticles does it thing. Instead, they promote it and utilize search engine marketing techniques similar to those used by individuals attempting to get their websites ranked highly. Those people that know what they are doing experience tremendous success and are wiping the mat with people who do not. If you are one of those people on the outside looking in and wondering how it is possible for some to achieve so much with article marketing and others so little, keep reading. Blow, we will discuss some of the most common promotional techniques and tricks of the “big dogs”.

1. Get Incoming Links From Other Article Directories: The most important part of the SEO equation is to get incoming links. One great place to get them is from other article directories, especially from those that are well respected. Try Buzzle, Article Dashboad, Go Articles and other top directories. You will find that this is one simply, easy, fast and effective way to get quality, incoming links.

The purpose of this is to build up the incoming link count to your Ezine article. Because this directory has the best chance to get ranked, using one of the available links in your resource box from article directories to point to it, makes good sense.

2. Getting Incoming Links From Social Networking Websites: This is probably the most commonly used method of the article marketing pros to get incoming links and drive their articles up the search engines. It will take a little trial and error to determine which ones will allow you to link to Ezinearticles. Some won’t but others will. You can do this yourself or you can pay someone to do it if you do not have the time or would simply rather not.

3. Submitting Your Article’s RSS feed: Your Ezine article will have a RSS feed. Write it down and submit it to RSS directories for some easy traffic and back links.

These are some simple techniques to build up the link count to your Ezinearticles’ article and promote it. The more incoming links that you have, the greater chance you have to rank highly. Remember, other article directories and social networking websites are great places to begin.

If you are like most people in America, you probably work a typical 9-5 job and are getting frustrated with the daily grind. Those people that work 40 hours and get paid for 40 hours of work are earning what they call “linear income”. In other words, they get paid for the exact amount of hours they put in and not a penny more. There is a better way to earn income – this better way is through residual and royalty income.

Until now, only actors and authors received residuals or royalties for their work, but the internet has changed this. Nowadays you can do plenty of things online to create residual, royalty and passive income. You may ask yourself “how can I create residual income?” – well, the answer is on the internet.


There are plenty of ways to Make Money Online and Earn Residual Income; you can sell your photos online, write articles, sell your arts and crafts, earn money from your blog, add Google AdSense to your website and do many more things to create residual and royalty income. In fact, there are people earning hundreds and even thousands of dollars per month online in the form of passive income. The best part is that you keep getting paid over and over again long after you have put in the initial investment of your time and effort.

There are so many scams online that it is hard to actually know which websites are legitimate and which ones will just take your money. You need to know where to look to find the websites that are going to help you create supplemental income and not rip you off. There is a blog written by Michael-John Wolfe, an actor who has devoted all of his free to finding legitimate ways to make money online. Each day his blog lists a new form of residual income for you to investigate and research as a possible form of residual or royalty income. While Michael-John lists tons of websites, not each income source is for everyone – but if you take some time to browse through his website, there is no doubt that you will find a source of income that fits with your skills or situation.

Michael-John even lists sources of supplemental income and part time jobs that you can do for extra cash. Everyone wants to make money online, yet only a lucky few will actually take the steps necessary to create an easier life for themselves. Imagine never having to worry about working a “regular” job as a corporate drone ever again! Imagine the freedom you would feel if you had multiple streams of income flowing in from different online sources. Don’t let another year of your life pass by without creating some unique sources of income for you and your family. You can visit Michael-John Wolfe’s website here: Earn Residual Income and Make Money Online.

When we search internet to find some easy ways to monetize our blog, we find lots of stuff already written on this topic. And when we study deeply at all ways to earn money from a blog, there may be hundreds of ways to earn revenue from a blog. But not all methods are going to help you make some quick cash. In today's article, I will discuss some techniques that a blogger in any niche can follow to monetize his/her blogs quickly and fastly:

PPC Ads – With PPC (Pay per click) Ads, we are going to get paid for every click that is made of an Ad on our blog. There are many networks who are offering PPC Ads in all niches. And the most popular PPC Ad networks are Google Adsense and YPN (Yahoo Publisher network), which is available for US citizens only right now. Applying for Google Adsense will not take more than 2 minutes and once you have Google AdSense Account, you have to just place AdSense widgets on your blog where you want the ads to appear. AdSense ads are highly customizable and can be placed in any section of a blog. All PPC networks serve ads according to the content of your blog.


Text & Banner ads – Selling text and banner ads will be easiest way to monetize your blog if it's already popular. There are lots of advertisers who are willing to place their ads on top blogs in their niche. We can earn from $10 to $100 or so for a link/banner for a month on our blog depending upon our blog popularity, traffic, Alexa ranking and Google Page rank. We can add a section like 'Advertise here' or 'Banner' here on our blog to attract advertisers. With this, we can also try some networks that can sell text/banner ads on your behalf and will share revenue with us.

Writing Articles – With these options, we can make money with what we are already doing i.e. blogging. There may be many advertisers in your niche who will be interested in getting a review about their service or product on your blog. With this 'Get Paid to Blog' kind of scheme, we are asked to write a review about a product or service and include their links within our review. But we should be extra cautious when going for this scheme. We should write about advertisers only who are directly or indirectly related to our niche and if possible should include nofollow links in our paid posts. There are many paid blogging networks on internet where you can register yourself to get extra money making opportunities. Some of popular 'Get Paid to Blog' networks are Payperpost, ReviewMe and SponsoredReviews.

Many internet marketers recognize that a membership site is a great way to bring in a comfortable and consistent income. So they find a great niche, set up their membership website and add great content, there is still one major step, getting members to join. At first glance, this often seems a bit overwhelming and is the point where membership site owners often get discouraged. Not knowing how to find members stop many online marketers even before they get started.

Fortunately, it is not too difficult to grow your membership base. As long as you understand that it may take some time. Don’t expect to fill up your site overnight. Instead, shoot for a couple of new members a day. Overtime, you will be able to draw a pretty good income. Below, are some simple ways to advertise:

Start An Affiliate Program: One very effective way to grow your membership website is to offer people (members and non-members) the ability to earn money by getting other people to join. Think about it. If your monthly fee is $29, offering individuals 50% or $14.50 each month for every new member that they sign up would be very enticing. If you get the right affiliates, you may not have to do much advertising at all.

Hang Out Where Your Potential Members Are: Spending time at the same places that people who might be interested in joining your membership site is a really good way to get members. This might include forums and social networking websites.

Try Adwords: Depending on what niche you are targeting, Adwords may be a great way to get the word out about your site and to get new members. Make sure that you carefully target your audience so that you don’t waste your money and time.

Write Press Releases: Press releases are another excellent way to advertise your membership website. There are a few fairly good options and some excellent paid ones. If you don’t know where to begin, consider Prweb.com. If you optimize your website and choose good keywords, you can get some good rankings for both your sales page and your release.

Forum Marketing: Once you figure out where your target audience spends their time online, it is time to go to them. Often times, forums are a great place to find people that will be interested in your offer. If the forum allows, make a post advertising your membership site. If they do not allow blatant advertising, then create a signature link ad.

Social Networking Websites: Social networking websites are another fantastic, advertising option. Find one that caters to your niche and then create short articles or blurbs that would interest them so that they click onto your website. After you get them there, it is up to you to sell your product. Consider, giving them a few free days or a free report so that they have some idea of the quality of content that you are offering.

If you have been seeking for an online business opportunity for a while, chances are you may have seen catchy headlines such as "Get Paid $60/Hour to Take Surveys” or ”Make Money Just By Participating In Online Focus Groups". In the first look, what it comes to your mind is that it´s too good to be true. You may be wondering if it is really possible to make that amount of money just by filling out some polls and surveys without spending too much time or money. And if it is true, is it really worth it or not?


Well, finding a convincing answer to the above questions is not that simple. Paid surveys opportunity is not a new work-at-home online business. It has been around for a long time now and could not be regarded as something totally illegal or scam. On top of that, there are hundreds of thousands of people earning an additional income just by taking surveys and participating in focus groups. So, there is no doubt that real paid surveys companies still exist and serve people to make an extra income on the Internet.

However, you may be asking yourself if it is worth trying or you should stay away from paid surveys. While this question does not have any straight answer, either, I try to point out some of the facts behind paid surveys according to my personal point of view, as a person who has tried this opportunity long time ago. Then, it will up to you to make the right decision and figure it out for yourself.

1. Many paid surveys websites charge you a certain fee in order to join them. After sign-up, you will only get access to a huge list of companies where you can join separately and create your profile. So, bear in mind that you won´t get access to tons of surveys right after sign up.

2. That list is quite big and contains hundreds of market research companies. It may take hours of visiting and registering one by one which is a very time-consuming process.

3. In order to join every single company, you need to create a demographic profile. So, all of those companies would have access to many confidential information that covers your privacy. I am not saying that they are unreliable websites, but I would not feel comfortable. Apart from that, your e-mail address would be bombarded by tons of company deals and offers day in day out. Isn´t it annoying?

4. Many market research companies require users from only United States or United Kingdom. So, if you live outside these regions, you would simply miss out a lot of survey programs.

5. There is a reason for creating a profile in market survey companies. They need to check if the surveys they are going to send you match your demographic data. So, even if you live in the U.S. there is still a probability that you won´t get as many surveys as possible.

6. The majority of survey companies do not pay you cash. They give you rewards such as a free book or MP3 Player or something like that. You spend money for getting a list of market research companies, spend your time to join every single website out there, spend more time and fill out their polls and surveys, and then guess what?! You won´t get paid by cash! You will only get rewards.

7. And it gets more ridiculous when they offer you a spot in a reward list. Did you get it? After all inconvenience, you would be placed in a list of thousand of users and get the chance to win a prize!!! Does it make sense?

So, it was all my experience with paid surveys programs and market research companies. Now, the choice is yours. If you are like me, you might prefer something better. For me, my time is more valuable than my money. So, that´s why I would stay away from paid surveys and rather work on more profitable business opportunities. I hope you will do the same thing. You deserve better.

Ok. I admit at first glance, this may seem like an absurd question. Except that it really is not. Facebook allows you to advertise to an extremely targeted market and you only pay for those people that click on your ads, much like Google. Obviously, you won’t be able to reach as many people as would when advertising on Google. However, the number of people that you can advertise to is pretty substantial. Millions of people visit the site every day and Facebook has 150 million members, making it one of the most visited websites on the planet.


Most internet marketers are already aware that Google can be a very effective way to advertise one’s products. It doesn’t matter if it is a physical product or a downloadable one. Many people use the Google search engine to look for things that they are looking to buy. If you can get your products in front of them, you have an opportunity to make a good deal of money.

However, in recent years, Google has gotten extremely competitive for advertisers. It is much harder to purchase cheap clicks, therefore, making it much more difficult to make a profit. Google has also instituted new rules and continue to do so which make it tougher for advertisers to achieve high quality scores and thus affordable advertising. For these reasons, it is important for internet marketers to find new, fresh and less expensive ways to advertise their businesses and products. Facebook is becoming one of those new ways.

Advertising on Facebook is very similar to purchasing ads on sites like Google, Yahoo and MSN. You create a short ad and then choose your target market. You can pick the gender, age and location of your ideal customer and your ads will only be shown to them. You also decide how much you want to spend on each click or can pay per impression.

Facebook allows you to get much more targeted visitors then you would from most pay-per-click companies. Typically, you can only choose who your ads are shown to based on the keywords that you have picked and the particular part of the country that they reside in.

Because Facebook receives so much more information about their members, they are better able to get your ads in front of the exact demographic that are likely to be most interested in what you are selling. This means that your advertising dollars are much better utilized and hopefully, your conversions are much higher.

To be successful, you must put in a lot of thought into who would be most interested in your offer. If you get this wrong, then you won’t get the results that you want. However, if you can figure out what type of people are most likely to purchase the products that you are promoting, then you have a great chance of making some sales.

Besides getting your target market right, you also need to work hard at creating a compelling ad. Your ad will determine whether or not people even make it to your website. Spend some time studying ads on Google. See which ones pique your interest and then copy their style.

Facebook can be a potential gold mine for the right types of product. Because they have a pay-per-click model, you can control your costs. Also because of Facebook’s ability to target a particular audience with laser like focus, using their website to sell your products can really be lucrative.

There are plenty of worthwhile business opportunities on the internet in the sectors of both Affiliate Marketing and MLM but which one is right for you. Well this question can only be answered by one person, you. In this report I will give you my personal views on both Affiliate Marketing and MLM.

Let me start with a few positives of Affiliate Marketing. First of all it is a very simple business which only requires you to promote a product, there is no need for a website because that is included in the program and once someone purchases the program you will make a commission. Another great thing about it is that you will never have to deal with customers. MLM on the other hand is a bit different. Although you are not required to contact your downline, it can prove to be very beneficial because building a good business relationship with your downline and helping them to promote their business will allow them to make money faster, which in turn makes you more money.


A benefit is the residual income that is available to MLM owners more so then affiliate marketers because as an affiliate marketer you refer people to a product or service and in most cases you are paid a one time commission and that's all the money you will see from that particular transaction. As an MLM owner you have the benefit of building an organization with a downline from which you can receive massive amounts of residual income without even touching the mouse. The appeal of making money by basically not doing much is a factor that most people find hard to turn down.

Don't get me wrong to get to the point where you are making significant residual income does take time and hard work. However once your system is in place and your organization begins to spit out top producers it makes MLM a much more attractive business opportunity then affiliate marketing too many people.

I like to think of MLM as affiliate marketing when you are just getting started because you are getting an upfront commission when you personally refer somebody and all the commissions you are getting from your down-line should be thought of as a bonus but those bonuses will then start to overtake your regular upfront commissions and your downline growth begins to run on autopilot and will slowly build bigger and bigger.

MLM is an extraordinary business once you put in some hard work but if it's the simplicity of affiliate marketing that takes your fancy than that is great because it is an excellent business for beginners. Whether you choose Affiliate Marketing or MLM, with some hard work and dedication, Success will be in your very near future.
