Starting To Generate Money On The Internet

I'm sure you've heard of some people getting onto the internet and within a short time start making money. Or, more likely, people who have been online for a while, and through trial and error found out what works, then set up a website that made a considerable amount of money in a short time.

Well, how do you do that?

First, you have to have a site that's yours as a top priority. Too many people opt for free sites, often inside someone else's system. You need to be in charge of your own content and how you organize your website. You need to be able to set up your own tracking and testing systems as you want to. Wordpress sites are quick and easy to get online, though there can still be some, though not horrendous, learning curve in getting it set up best for your purposes.

Second, it's vital that you collect visitors' email addresses.You need a  page or pages on your site where this can be done. Pay for an autoresponder service so you can send those who join your list a sequence of informative emails just after they join. Treat them with great care, as they are, in effect, the start of your business. They will buy from you when you have built a relationship with them by sending them key ideas and actions about your niche, and information that's educating and usable. They need to trust and believe you before they'll start paying you money.

Third, you now need to send people to your opt in page so they can join your list. You might prefer paying for Per Pay Click (PPC) ads, like on Google search results, or banners and other ads. The problem is that people are very used to these types of techniques now and tend not to click on them as they used to. However, if you place your content, such as articles, on relevant websites for your niche, visitors to those sites can see the quality of the information you're giving. If they click the link at the bottom of the article, then you have a visitor to your site who is already qualified, and is more likely to convert to a customer later on.

Fourth, load up your autoresponder with email messages of useful information so you develop a relationship with them. Avoid sales messages. Rather, give them a link to you site if you have an offer for them. They'll buy your offers if they enjoy and trust your information and tone. If not, they won't.

Fifth, it's best to have your own product to sell. If you don't, think about being an affiliate marketer selling someone else's product, and you get a percentage of the sale.

Sixth, begin somewhere, somehow. If you haven't, then start with what you know now in your chosen niche. Watch out for my courses to help you get going. Once you begin, then you can change things as you want and as you build experience. But if you don't get started, you can't do that.
