Is It Still Possible To Make Money Online Starting From Scratch?

Posted by John

You bet it is! To Make money online is just like making money anywhere else. You have to have a plan, then stick to it. Once you have some feedback on how well you plan is working then you can adjust and fine tune the plan. Most people start off online believing that making money is quick and easy. They buy into the hype and the get discouraged when the money making opportunities don’t live up to their expectations.

The question on everyone’s lip is how to make money online? So what is the easiest way to make money online? For someone who has very little experience of marketing online, the best way to start is for free. Yip, that’s right, FREE. You can head over to a dozen different websites and they will give you some space to bang up a blog or web page absolutely free. Places like Blooger.com or Squidoo or Hubpages are great opportunities for those marketers on a shoestring budget.

Making money online boils down to one thing, well actually two things but they are related.

1. You need a hungry(ravenous) crowd of people who dearly want to buy something that you are selling

and

2. You need to get that hungry crowd to visit your webpage and buy your product or click on your ads.

So your blueprint to make money online would be a simple as –

1. Find a niche that has a hungry crowd of people in it

2. Find a product that they want

3. See if there are enough advertisers who will pay to advertise a product on yrou website

4. Research the keywords required to bring the crowd to your doorstep

5. Create a webpage/ website/ blog with helpful info about your niche

6. Place advertising on the webpage/ website/ blog

7. Prominently display an offer for a product or products in your niche

8. Promote your webpage/ website/ blog using articles, signature files, forum discussions, SERP’s, JV’s etc

9. Track and fine tune your webpage/ website/ blog

10. Rinse and repeat in a new niche

Now that sounds like a mouthful, but believe me, you can be up and running in a matter of hours with your first webpage/ website/ blog and depending on how you market your webpage/ website/ blog you could be seeing results in as little as 15 minutes.

The key to making money online, especially when you are starting out is to keep it simple. Don’t go and buy every “guru’s” eBook and course. Don’t go and buy a membership at 3 different guru’s websites. Avoid distractions and start slow. Follow the steps above in a logical order and do what works for you. Most of what you read about in eBooks and in articles like this are out-dated before you even get to read them.

There’s no way that anyone is going to tell you how they are currently making money. They’ll tell, sorry, make that SELL you what they where doing last week, last month or last year. That’s because they have found a new way of making money that works and they will be sure to let you in on their secret when it stops working for them.

Here’s a tip. Do a search on the popular things that people buy. Things like Viagra, weight loss products, make money on line products etc. You get my drift, these are super competitive niches. Now visit the top ten sites in each search and opt into their lists. Wonder around their sites, check out the linking structure, the keywords, titles, external links etc. Everything they are doing is in plain site, you just need to be able to recognise what they are doing, then compare it to what everyone is telling you and you’ll notice that there’s a big difference.
