Sorry I did not get a chance to post yesterday, but I was busy with soccer training, and school projects. Anyways, today I’d like to talk about the power of creativity, and what it can do for you, and your wallet.  

No matter how cheesy you think “creativity” is, it will always be an important aspect of making money in this industry. “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” That is a quote from Albert Einstein.  Creativity is a quality you must have to achieve success in this business. When I say you need creativity you might be asking yourself, “why do I need creativity?”  Well, you will need creativity if you are selling a product, or creating a design for your website. If you are creative in both you will have great success making money.

The Importance of Unique Content October 17, 2008

Today I would like to talk about unique content, and why it’s good for your site as opposed to automated content.  I will use an analogy, so you can better understand the concept.

Have you ever been to a public high school? You’ll most likely see a lot of kids sagging, and pretending to be gangsters. They all look exactly the same. Then out in the crowd you might spot a kid wearing regular clothes, and being himself. This kid would be considered as unique. The unique people are more likely to get noticed.

When this is dealing with web content the way you will get noticed is by search engines; like google, msn, and yahoo. You will have a better chance to improve your SE ranking writing your own content; as opposed to using an automated blog script, or something that just copies content from other sites. 

When you create unique content you should also make it useful. You should not create a bunch of your own unique content, and have no facts behind your information. That’s not a good way to build trust with your visitors. 

There is not much to tell about unique content. You don’t have to do it, but to put it plain and simple, It’s better. Remember that just because it’s unique doesn’t mean it’s useful.

What type of making money online is the best October 15, 2008

I get this question an awful lot. “What type of money making online is the easiest and best?” To put it plain and simple; I couldn’t name all of the ways to make money online, but I will tell you some of those most common ways to making good profits online.

Have you ever heard the quote “nothing worth having is easy” or “nothing worth having is free?” Well, if your looking to make some money in this business your going to have to use this quote. You can find some other one if you’d like, but I like this one.

I believe that making money online consist of three categories. Services(writing, designing ect.), Ads(affiliate programs, adsense ect.), Selling(website flipping, products ect.) Down below I am going to place a short description of each strategy.

Services like writing and designing would go under the category of freelancing. When I say writing I mean it as when you create unique content for other sites for a small fee of say $0.01 a word. You can always create your own fee, but this depends on the quality of your writing. If you are an average writer the average charge is about $0.01 a word. If you write a 500 word article for a site that would be $5.00. Writing content isn’t always the most fun or easiest way to make money, but it definitely makes some $$mullah$$.

Designing is definitely one of the better strategies for making money online. It is my personal favorite, and I do it myself. In the industry of web design it all depends on how creative you are. You also have to be skilled. If you have both a creative mind, and skills your definitely on your way. Where do you find work? The best way to find work would probably be on forums like Digitalpoint. You can also get work from businesses, but that’s a little more complicated. Designing takes some skill, but if you have it than you should definitely use it as a money maker.

Ads like adsense or affiliate programs are probably the simplest and most widely used on the internet. Ever go on a site and see lots of banners? Well, those are affiliate programs. Adsense and affiliate program pay out depends mostly on the traffic you receive.

With affiliate programs a person must click on your banner, and then buy a product on the site using your referral link. Once they complete the order you will receive your cut of what they bought. The amount you get all depends on the affiliate program you signed up with.

Google adsense works by clicks. How much money you make from each click depends on a lot of factors like the niche of your site, and how much the company is paying to put that ad on your site. You can make anywhere from $0.01 – $5.00 a click.

Adsense and affiliate programs are probably the strategy used by most webmasters. If you receive good traffic you can get a pretty decent paycheck.

Selling, is potentially the best way to make money online. However, it depends if what your selling is in demand or not. I cannot tell you what to sell or how to sell it. This is all up to you, and your creativity.

What is website flipping? Website flipping is when you build up a web site, and then you sell it for a profit. It is like when you buy a house, fix it up, and then you sell it for a profit. Both of those are very similar. Website flipping can prove to be very profitable. However, it is quite a bit of work, and you will have to spend your own time and money building up the sites you plan to sell.

The last thing I would like to say is that there is no proven “Best” way to make money online. A friend once said that the best way to make money online is “something that requires minimal effort and can give income on a recurring basis.” My suggestion to everyone is that is you have a talent or knowledge of some sort share it with the Internet world, and your profits should come sooner or later.

Thank you for reading this blog post! I thank you for understanding that I can not put every single way to make money online in just one post, so I encourage you to visit my blog regularly to find updated information.

Which niches are best for blogging or personal websites October 12, 2008

There are so many questions like, “what type of website should I start?” or “what kind of website will make me the most money?” Logically, the best websites to start would be financial, medical, politics, celebs (ect.) This is only because people want to know about that kind of stuff. It’s the important stuff that people look at. The search engines know this.  However, since people know that these sites get the most views they start making more and more of these sites. Only about 1 in 20 of those sites get good revenue, and generate good quality information.  The rest of them are mostly scams.  

My suggestion to you is not to pay attention to what other people want, but what you want. The best niche is when you do what you love, and have a great passion for.  If you love what your doing there is also a great chance that you know some good information on the subject. Everybody wins that way. 

The worst possible thing you can do is start a website that you think will make you a lot of money, but you know nothing on the subject.  I guarantee it that you won’t make much money at all if you do that.  First of all; you probably won’t enjoy it when you have to constantly update your site, and you have nothing to talk about.  Second, your not giving the good quality information that your visitors demand. 

 Save yourself, and everybody else a pain in the ass, and do something you enjoy.

Hello again readers! Today I am going to talk about getting yourself started in your internet career. I will talk about what the basic, and necessary things you need to do in order reach your goal of making money online.  Starting off is no doubt the hardest of all the steps. However, I will walk you through some simple steps on how to make your experience a bit easier. 

Plan for Success!  

First off the best thing to do is set yourself some attainable goals. Get a piece of paper and write down exactly what you would like to accomplish, and how much money you want to make (ect.) You can write down any goal you desire. That is completely up to you. Maybe you write down how many visitors you want to reach in a certain time period, or maybe you want to set a goal for how many links you build.  Any goal you would like to try and attain write it down.  All this is doing is setting a positive mindset, and telling yourself try you very best to reach these goals. I do this every time I want to achieve something. Sometimes, it even helps when you recite these goals before you go to bed every day. 

Getting a domain & hosting

The next thing you need to is get some hosting. This is where your sites will be kept, and published to the internet. I recommend Hostmonster. I’ve always used host monster, and haven’t had any problems yet. Before you get your hosting you will need to get a domain. I recommend buying the domain from namecheap. Buying a domain through a host isn’t always the best idea. Buy a good domain that you are sure of, so that you do not have any doubts of it later. If you want to learn more about picking a good domain name visit my blog later, and I will have some tips on how to buy a good domain for your website. 

Starting your website

Before you start your actual website you should consider doing something you really enjoy, and love doing. If you do this it boost the potential of you making more money. You do not want to do something that you really don’t like, but you think will make you some money. I have done this plenty of times, and every single time I failed. That’s why I am giving you this advice.  

The design of your site will also be a vital aspect in your chances of making money, and getting continuous traffic to your site. 

Affiliate programs & Adsense

Affiliate programs, and adsense are vital to making money online. Google adsense works by clicks, and affiliate programs make you money when someone signs up on one of those adds. In later post I will tell you more about these money making programs, but for now just sign up, and place them neatly on your site. 

I cannot write all of the stuff you must do in one post, so visit my blog tommorow, and I will have some more tips for you!

Until next time folks!

Making money online = Not very easy October 9, 2008

I’m sure by now you’ve noticed that most of the internet consist of millions if not billions of scams. Most of those scams involve money in one way or another. Anyone who currently owns an email account knows exactly what I’m talking about. Those countless spam emails you just can’t seem to get rid of. Well, I’m here to tell you that those aren’t the only kind of scams that exist.  As you browse through google you’ll find many websites that propose that they know how to make “easy cash”, and “fast.”  There is no such thing as easy, and fast cash. However, if you are walking down the street, and you come across a quarter on the ground; Hell, you just made yourself some fast cash buddy! Don’t get me wrong now; there are possible ways of making fast cash, but by no means is it easy.

 In all my years trying to figure out how to make that money those advertisers say I can; I haven’t found one that works as easy as they say. When you buy their products you just increase their fortune, and for nothing. You basically bought an e-book titled “Put easy cash in your pocket now.”  Anyone smell bullshit? 

Everyone likes money, and that’s a fact. That is why we all buy into this crap. Through my many years of researching what I call “Internet Bullshit” I have found out what works, and what is just a bunch of bull. I have had my downs, but I also have had my successes in making money on the internet. Just so you don’t have to go through some of those down I will show how to reach those successes. Now, I am not selling my methods, ideas or products here.  I will teach you free of charge, but you will have to continuously visit my blog for updated information.  I am telling you right now that if you want to make money online it’s not going to be a walk in the park. You will have to commit yourself, and separate yourself from the competition.
