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.

No matter how many hours have you spend researching, brainstorming and endeavouring in order to get a breakthrough with your online business there is absolutely one ultimate shortcut that will get you there at a much faster pace.

Right now I can hear the voices of thousands of frustrated internet marketers screaming in one accord ‘what is it then, tell us now?

Quite simply the answer is this, to examine the methods used by those who have already made it! Think about it, many people will often look at successful people with envious eyes, accusing them of having it easy (in order to excuse their own failures mainly) and wishing deep down that they were in the other persons place. I am sure you can relate to this if you’re really honest anyway.

In addition to being bold over by another person’s success, why not take time to examine their journey and what they did that made the difference? At this point it’s always a good idea to ask your self am I prepared to pay the same price in order to reach my goals as this person. You see the truth is often these guys have had to work really hard.

A lot of the time hugely successful people have pioneered methods which helped them to be successful. Here’s the good news, you can often use the exact same methods. In effect you’ll be walking a tried and tested path.

When I first started out I used to read up on people like Ewan Chia, Mike Filsaime and one or two others. Believe me when I tell you that this fast tracked my internet business results. I would buy their books visit their sites, looking at every aspect of their methods in order to see what I could learn from them. Of course it’s always important to respect copyright, but you can always get insight in to powerful marketing principles that can help you succeed.

There’s an old saying, “It takes money to make money.” While this is still true in many respects, on the internet, it is possible to start and grow an online business using free resources.

You don’t even need a computer! In many parts of the world, it is possible to get free computer access at a public library or other facility. However, it is also possible to become involved in some systems that can be promoted entirely offline by word-of-mouth, and signing up could be done at one of the free computers I mentioned or be done by a friend.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to imply that it is easier or faster to completely use free resources; I am just making the point that it is possible to create an internet business with little or no money.

How do I know this?

Other than the purchase of the computer itself, I never bought my first domain name until I had been online for a couple of years and was making several hundred dollars a month from my internet business. All of my websites were hosted on free hosting services, and all my “advertising” was done through free classified ads, traffic exchanges, and by linking.

However, despite all of this, and a magnificent case of ignorance, I eventually DID begin making hundreds of dollars a month. I then used THAT income to get my own domain name, in fact many domain names today, and to purchase effective advertising. But, as you can see, it is possible to start without any money at all.

In fact, I would recommend starting for free even if you have the money to invest, just to learn the ropes. I can’t begin to tell you how much money I have lost on things that didn’t work, and how much I paid to get the internet marketing education I now have. On the other hand, if I had to start all over today, knowing the things I know now, I would borrow the money if I had to, buy domain names, hire website designers, and pay for advertising. But you want to know how to do it for free.

So, how would someone go about creating an internet business using only free resources?

Before I begin listing some points, please understand that this is just one way in which an online business can begin. Due to all the variables involved, what topic you pick, how much time you can devote to it, and so on, there is no way to guarantee that this will work for you. However, it is a method that HAS worked for others, and it is a place to start.

1. Decide what your business is going to be about. Two points here. Pick something you already know something about and hopefully enjoy, and then refine it to a smaller area of specialty. Instead of “outdoors”, think “hiking”. Instead of hiking, think “hiking boots”. If you know what you are talking about and enjoy the subject, it will be easier to talk to people (online or in person) and transmit your message of enjoyment to them. Also, building a business takes time. If you are concentrating on “money” and the money doesn’t show up right away, you will lose interest. If you love hiking and are enjoying putting up your website about hiking, talking to people about hiking, and checking into new hiking products, you will remain interested in your business through the build up/learning period when no money is coming in.

2. Find a company to host your site for free. Shop around and compare services. At this point, since you hardly know anything, you might want a web hosting service that provides some sort of site builder where you fill in blank areas and the service creates the page. Later, when you know more and get your own domain name or names, maybe you will know a bit more about website design and will be able to do it yourself. For now, however, you need all the help you can get.

3. Sign up as an affiliate with companies that sell products related to your interest. For example, you can become an affiliate of REI or Backcountry, through Commission Junction. These two companies sell hiking boots and other outdoors goods. You could also offer goods or services indirectly related to your site. Staying with the hiking boot scenario, you might offer physical training courses or even vacation packages for hikers.

4. Create your site. Rest assured, your first attempt will not be your best, nor will your 87th probably. That’s okay. It’s all a learning experience. What to put on you site? Not sales stuff. Not info about how great these boots are. Tell your visitors how to pick a boot. Explain how to care for their boots. Teach them about hiking safety or how to find a campsite for the night. Tell them where they can find weather reports and a list of hiking trails. In among the real, genuine content, sprinkle a few (got it…FEW?) links to your products. If you don’t know what to say, visit some sites that say it well and then say it in your own words.

5. Go to Selfpromotion.com. You will need to promote your site to search engines and directories anyway. You can do that for free and in depth at SelfPromotion.com. However, if you look around the site, you will find a treasure trove of information about such silly subjects as search engine optimization. So pick up a free education while you’re there. The webmaster over there accepts donations, and, now that he has helped me get my internet business off the ground for free, he gets liberal donations from me every year.

6. Go to Blogger.com and start a blog on hiking. Put links to your website on the blog and in the comments. Make at least a couple of posts to the blog each week. Every day might be even better. If you don’t know enough or write well enough or have enough time to write your own stuff, go to EzineArticles.com and get some free articles to use in your blog.

7. Join forums related to hiking, or your subject. You can usually put a link to your webpage in the signature that appears with your posts. Concentrate on making sensible, helpful posts and participating in rational discussions.

8. Build a webpage about hiking gear, another about hiking trails, another about cooking outdoors. Link all of these to your first site and then go back to http://selfpromotion.com and submit each of these new pages to the search engines.

I’m not going to put a number on this one, but, when you can afford it, purchase a course on network marketing. It doesn’t have to be expensive. Go to ClickBank.com and you can find some for under $20. Holly Mann puts out a decent course for $19.95 at this time. It won’t teach you everything, but it will teach you. Dylan Loh also sells a course through ClickBank which outlines how to do a lot of the things mentioned in this article. You can get a very good course from the Internet Marketing Center for over $200. It’s worth it, but probably contains more than you need at this time.

Eventually, of course, the hope is that you will begin to see some light with your internet business, and you will be able to move up. Then you can get your own domain name, pay for some decent web hosting, get a well-designed site, and buy some effective advertising. When you are making enough money to pay for all that AND buy tickets at the movies without raising your eyebrows, you’ll know you’ve made it.
