Work like a Slave to Achieve Results
5. January 2010

Now, I know the title of my blog has the word “easy” in it, but the truth about Internet Marketing and making money online is that it takes a lot of work. Even if you are catering to work at home that is very niche specific, such as Christian Home Business Guide, it will still take a lot of hard work!
That being said, it is also a fairly straight forward process. In spite of all the crazy theories out there about how Google produces their results, and all the different factors that contribute to that, there are still only two main factors: good content and quality back links. If your page has those two things, it will rank well in the SERPs and continue to rank well.
So that begs the question, once you have great content, how do you get quality back links? Well, one way to do that is to submit original articles to some of the more powerful article directories, and get links back from them. Some of the more powerful ones worth noting are Ezine Articles, Hubpages, Squidoo Articles, and Infobarrel. Submit a handful of articles to each of those directories with links pointing back to your site and that would be a good start for your websites.
Another good move would be to ask other websites in your general topic area to link back to your site. You can offer to link back to their website in return as a sort of thank you. By doing this, both your website and his website will be strengthened. You can either ask for a single link from one their posts, or a blogroll link so you get a link from each one of their pages.
From there, check your rankings to see if you are at the rank you want to be for your keyword. If you are not, simple repeat the process. Remember, this whole thing is a numbers game. The more links you have with varied anchor text to your site, the stronger it becomes.
Once you have been working at this business consistently for a few years, you will need a letter organizer to keep all your checks coming in organized!
Good luck!

Search Engine Traffic is the Only Traffic That Matters
5. January 2010

Yes, you read the title right! Search engine traffic is the only traffic that matters. Why? Because search traffic is always new and its very focused traffic. This means that people who visit your site from a search engine have an intent (hopefully to buy!).
This is different from traffic that comes from other blogs or social networking sites. Those people are usually passive web surfers reading stuff online. In other words, they have no intent to buy, and are much less likely to click on ad or purchase something. So even if you’re getting way more traffic due to your social marketing efforts, it still won’t translate to much more money.
The only traffic that really matters is search engine traffic, so you will be much better served directing your efforts there. So how do you start ranking well in Google? By building links and lots of them!
You want to make sure you have lots and lots of links pointing to your website from lots of different websites, with lots of different anchors. This will start to give your website authority with certain keywords, and so your website will start to rank. These links will also inadvertently give you lots of traffic from the links themselves, although that is not really that important. The importance here is from the rank you will start to achieve from those links.
Once you start generating steady traffic from your search engine rankings, it is time to see how you can best monetize that traffic.

Why Clickbank is so Wonderful

While Adsense is a very hassle-free way to make money online, there is another (almost) hassle-free way to make money online. This one, however, can be much more profitable!
The method I am talking about is making money by selling e-books online through Clickbank. The beauty about selling an e-book is that you are essentially selling a file – no physical product is being sold. This means that every sale you make is essentially pure profit. Talk about a beautiful business model!
If you can find a topic that is not adequately covered online, and you think people would be willing to pay for that information, make an e-book for it! Then you can sign up for Clickbank, and they will set up the whole thing for you. All you need is your sales page and the e-book that you wrote, they’ll take care of the transaction part for you.
What is even cooler about Clickbank is that if you make an e-book, you can have other people sell it for you as well, and make a commission off of it. If an e-book you write turns out to be pretty popular, and a lot of other people on Clickbank see that its making big sales, its pretty likely they will want to cash in on your great product, so they will sell it too! You both win! It is highly advised to give others a generous commission if they make a sale for you. Remember, its a sale that never would have been made otherwise.
One last thing you can do with Clickbank is sell e-books that others have written. Sure, you won’t get the full amount of money than if you had written the book yourself…but who cares! You didn’t even have to write the e-book you’re selling, and yet you are making some money from the sale. A great example of a clickbank site is this ticket broker ebook site.
Regardless of how you decide you want to make most of your money through your online ventures, be sure to check out Clickbank, as they can be a very profitable website to utilize.

Google Adsense is the Easiest Way to Make Money Online
4. January 2010

Google Adsense is one of the easiest ways to make money online, and it isn’t hard to see why. For those of you that have been living under a rock, Google Adsense has become one of the most sensational and profitable forms of advertising, and it is less than a decade old!
How it works is webmasters can install a bit of code given to them by Google on their website, and this code will read what the website is about. Then, based on the content of the website, it will display small ads in a text box on the page of your site. Once the page is displaying the ad related to the content, every time someone clicks on one of the ads, Google pays you an amount of money.
The reason Google can pay you for the click is because whatever advertiser that ad was linking to also paid Google for the click. However, the amount the advertiser paid Google is significantly higher than what Google pays you. However, if you have a website that drives a lot of traffic to it, you stand to make a big amount of money by simply putting Google Adsense on your website. It is for that simple reason that Google Adsense is the easiest way to make money online. All you do is put the code on your site, and you will start making money.
Since all ways of making money online are based on traffic getting to your website, your first step is to generate that traffic. Once you have it, Google Adsense is the easiest first method to try when you decide to monetize. Once you have a clear idea of your monthly income with Adsense based on the amount of traffic you are generating, at that point you can start to experiment with other forms of monetization. This can include affiliate programs with Clickbank, CJ, Amazon, or Ebay. You can also do lead generation or try and sell your own product.
