The Wonderful Blog Which You ve Never Seen

If you are new to internet marketing and don’t have a website, you can still make money online! Here is a simple system that I have used and it is also the system that got me started in my online career.

This is a very easy money making system and a great way to get started with internet marketing. The best part about this system is that you can do this absolutely free. You may decide to purchase a domain name to use with this system, but this is a very minor cost, usually around $8.

To begin you will need to select an affiliate product that you will be promoting. I suggest selecting a product that relates to a topic that you are interested in as well as one that you have some knowledge in. Many affiliate programs pay excellent commissions for sales that you refer. It is not uncommon for affiliate programs to pay $20 commission per sale and many affiliate programs pay $100 commission or more per sale!

For affiliate beginners I suggest signing up with ClickBank.com to locate an affiliate product that you would like to promote. It’s free to sign up and they list thousands of affiliate programs that you can promote for free. Clickbank is a great place for beginners to start because they are a trusted affiliate center and you are not required to have a website to promote their products.

Once you have selected the affiliate product that you would like to promote, you will need to write an article related to that topic. You do not want to write an article trying to sell your affiliate product. Simply write an informative article on a topic that is about or closely related to your affiliate products topic.

This is really not as hard as it may seem. Your article will only need to be around 500 words. If you have chosen a topic that is of interest to you it should be fairly easy for you to write some tips or advice related to that topic. For instance, If your affiliate product were “How To Run A Cake Decorating Business” you could write an article on how to frost a cake with fondant icing and easily use 500 words.

“How to” and advice articles are always interesting and informative reading. Your articles do not have to be a literary masterpiece. Your readers will be more interested in getting valuable information than in your writing style. Simply write as if you were speaking to your friend. Keep your sentences and paragraphs short and simple. Do be sure to use spell check though.

Be sure to include interesting, detailed information in your article that will be of value to your readers. This will build a relationship of trust with your readers and make them feel good about visiting your link and hopefully purchasing your product.

To promote your affiliate product with your article you will either place a discrete link to your affiliate product in your article (using your affiliate code that your affiliate provides for you) or you can place your affiliate link in your author bio. You can make your bio say something like “For more cake decorating techniques and how to start your own cake decorating business visit…

To get exposure for your article you will be submitting your article to article directories, so you will need to read the rules of each article directory that you submit your article to. You can find hundreds of article directories by doing a search online.

Some article directories will allow affiliate links in the submitted articles, and others will not. Some directories will only allow a discrete link to the authors website in the author bio. Because of this fact you may decide to purchase a domain name that is related to your affiliate products topic. You will use the domain name to promote your affiliate product, without having an actual website.

You will do this by pointing your domain name to your affiliate link. You can place your domain name in your articles rather than placing your affiliate link in your articles. Once you have purchased your domain name you can have that domain name point to your affiliate link so that when readers click on your domain name they are directed to your affiliate product through your affiliate link and you will then get credit for the sale.

It is really very simple to direct your domain name to your affiliate link. Your hosting company will have the instructions on how to do this and they are usually very helpful if you need assistance. The next part of this system is where the actual work comes in. Yes, there is work involved in this system, but it’s easy work and the rewards are ongoing.

Once you have your article written, you will need to submit it to the article directories. There are two theories when it comes to how many article directories you should submit your articles to. One theory is that you should submit your article to hundreds of article directories to get more exposure. I personally do not think that this theory is the best because the search engines are becoming more sophisticated and do not like masses of duplicate information.

I believe that it is best to write hundreds of different articles that relate to your affiliate product and then to submit those articles to several of the top article sites. But don’t panic! Once again, this is really not as difficult as it may seem. Once you are comfortable writing short articles, you should easily be able to write a 500 word article on a topic that interests you in half an hour or so. If you write only a couple of articles a day, five days a week, you will have written ten articles per week. After only ten weeks you will have 100 articles online promoting your affiliate product for you for free!

Submitting your article to an article directory takes only a few minutes once you have signed up with them. Be sure to read their article submission rules so that your articles are accepted. You will gain a lot of valuable exposure by having your articles accepted by the article directories. This is also a great way to become known as an author and an authority in your field of interest.

Once you have your articles online it is like having hundreds of salesmen working for you 24 hours a day seven days a week. I’m sure that you can see the lucrative potential of spending a few weeks of part time effort in this great way to make money online without a website.

In this article, we will discuss various type of online business and tools available for your start-up.

Auction Bidding
Easy to start with: ***
Low cost: *****

You can start selling items through online auctions such as eBay or Yahoo! Auctions. Through this mean, you set a minimum price for your product and allow your interested customers to bid for that product. All you need to do is to provide a item name, description, price and image taken with a digital camera. A sales copy provided in the description column may increase the conversion rate of visitors to buyers. You can even set a price for customers to click and buy immediately.

Best of all, registration is free for eBay and Yahoo! Auctions, and you get started with provided guidance. However, some of the tools provided by eBay may seem complicated. Borrowing a book on information and how eBay works from your library will help you, else getting around with the system through trial and error will make you understand the tools well. Remember, mistakes are made to make you learn.

Selling through a Blog
Easy to start with: *****

Low Cost: ****

Starting a blog may be the latest trend for most people and people have started with selling stuff like fashion accessories to even clothes through their blogs. Blogs have become a new communication mean through the Internet, as bloggers can blog relevant artcles about their products they are selling.

Free tools such as Blogger, WordPress are available free to anyone out there for use. WordPress and Live Journal do provide tools for interested parties to setup their blog on a web hosting server and get a domain name for their blog site to look more professional. You can add a Paypal button on your blog to accept payment or make it cash on delivery, and well, it’s all up to your business model.

E-commerce Shopping Portal
Easy to start with: ***
Low Cost: **

You can consider setting up an e-commerce website if you decide to create a brand name of your own and have a larger capital on your hand. Getting a design house to develop your online shopping portal will be easy, all you need to do is provide information on how your dream portal may look like and give a down payment to kick start with the construction of your portal. If you are not an expert of building an E-commerce website, seek your design house for comments and advices. Well, it’s their job and duty for that. You do not want to have a website that you are comfortable with but your customers feel irritated with.

Compared to using auctions and blog tools I have mentioned earlier, having an online shopping website with e-commerce will cost more money and time frame. It takes time for the design house to construct your website.

Start Easy with Affiliate Programs
Easy to start with: *****
Low Cost: *****

Selling affiliate products will not require you to brainstorm of any specific items that you are going to sell. You can proceed with the research on the demand of the product, identification of your targeted audience and marketing strategies.

Often being an affiliate usually does not require you to carry any inventory. You get a cut of the sales for each item you sold. All you need to do is to have a website that promotes the affiliate product you are selling, providing news and information related to your product to make your website interesting and updated. Sending newsletters about your updated website to your customers will make your them re-visit your website again.

Selling of digital products may be the cheapest and easiest to start an online business. You may be an expert in a certain field and consider selling your expertise.

Woe is me, have I exposed a taboo “no-no”? Do I dare speak the truth about Internet Marketing? Is every word that comes out of the mouths of experts, true?

My answer to these three questions is yes, yes, and no. I know there are more and more beginners to the internet every day. Many are just surfers and gamers and etc.But the ones I want to address are the ones that come to the internet to seek the possibility of creating income by the way of online internet marketing.

Are you looking for a way to have your own Home Based Business? Well it is possible on the web and without the need of a vein that connects your billfold to Fort Knox. But if you get carried away at the “Hype” on the web today it can seem to be a very expensive venture.

Now don’t get nervous and scared, despite the monsters out there that are ready to hype you to death and take your money. If you’ll be careful and cautious with your budget you can make it as a successful Marketer.

Now in my opinion, the first five steps to creating your online business. The First step: Your niche or idea. Do you currently have a hobby or a passion for a certain topic? Over the course of starting and completing your business startup, you will run into roadblocks, peaks and valleys. You need to have patience and determination and not having passion for your niche will help you to get bored and frustrated causing you to give up.

Second Step: Web Site is necessary unless you want to be an Affiliate Marketer. Even then, it is an enhancement to have a landing page. You have control over that page and control means a lot. You do so much more with a web site. You can have several streams of income off of one website. I suggest spending some time and learn Html language (basic).I took a course on web design ($60) and learned basic html at a local college. Even if you buy templates you need to know html to modify the templates.

Third step: Domain Name. Picking any name will go against you down the line. Pick a name that has words that you can use for keywords. This will help you in search engine optimization. This area you want to spend a lot of time learning SEO. This is free traffic and getting your website on the first page of a search is where you want to be. I have used Registor.com and 1 & 1.com.Also namecheap.com is an affordable solution.

Fourth step: Hosting is a service where you store your data from your website on the hosts server. Then you can go live with your finished Product. If you have only one website, you can buy pretty cheap packages from hosting companies. My first website was hosted by HostExcellance.com(~$4/month).If you have multiple sites, Hostgator.com has a package($9.95/month).What’s neat about this is that you can host unlimited number of sites for just $9.95/month.I have accounts with both hosting companies and their service and uptime has been superb.

Finally the fifth and last step: Money! Now you might be thinking money should be the first step, and you would be right. Because that I itemized the cost of each step I wanted to discuss money last. If I pay $9(annual) for a domain name, $48(annual) for hosting,$60 for web Design course(design my own website).I have less than $10/month in this business startup.

Now I have got my website online for less than $125 total cost. That’s not bad for my on business. You would spend more than that on business license on an offline business. Now there are more costs which I will discuss in another article, but you’re off and running. Good luck and always remember, “If you want to succeed then you will”.
