Avoid My Pitfalls; Make Money Online
by: Charles Cater
So you want to get into the internet game. The first questions are where do I start with this business, how do I start with this business. There are hundreds of different possibilities in existence to generate income on the internet.
You can start with a reseller site, you can buy a poker site, you can purchase an adsense site, you can even buy survey sites. So where do you start.
First ask yourself what are you good at? Are you a Great Author, a Problem Solver, an Artist, a Do-it-Your-Selfer, a Mechanic, or just a General Joe. Do you like research, games, colors, words. No matter the vocation the internet contains a spot for you to make money.
Don't be afraid to ask those around you, many times it is hard to formulate an opinion about one's self. Once this little item is out of the way it is time to start your search for a money making opportunity
Now armed with an idea of what your personality directs you too. Start your searches in the likely spots, E-Bay, Yahoo, Google. Review all the sites that are for sale. Look closely at what each of these sites promises and requires of you. Do not purchase a site at this point. Keep reading and you will see the traps that I managed to fall into before accidentally finding my internet spot.
Anything that seems like it is too good, is too good. If a site says “Make Thousands per Month” then run, run away quickly. Look for sites that give you “100% money back” if unsatisfied. Review a sellers rating and make sure that it is 99.5% or better. Never sign up for services that you generally cannot use. Never fall into the re-seller mode if you don't have experience selling goods.
Don't pay for monthly services for wholesale sites, it will cost you $5000 to get into a reseller program there are no cheap wholesalers. Don't fall for the e-books ploys, everyone sells e-books and most are free anyway if you simply Google the title. Don't fall for the old Adsense trick of this or that word makes $25.00 a click. How many people are actually looking for this or that word. How many other people have fallen for the same tactic already and have sites already ahead of yours.
Now for the do's. Visit sites like
http://www.affliatedwebsitedesign.com for information and consultation. Search for forums with caring friendly people that will give you honest feedback on your ideas. Look at sites like
http://www.bridalblog.info as examples of great moneymaking websites. Make a decision on a site style and have a professional design your first site.
Have it designed with familiarity in mind (see what your good at and are interested in from the first paragraph). And no I have no vested interest in designing websites, I am a talker and marketer. Get an adsense account and a Yahoo marketing account.
Now start the marketing plan. Come back to
http://www.affliatewebsitedesign.com forum for suggestions. Visit Blogs and other Forums to post on a frequent basis. This should be simple at this point as you have a website you are interested in and are familiar with as the content interests you. Start posting and watch the linkbacks start to accrue.
If at this point you have followed the suggestions you should have found the AutoBlogger sites as designed by Chuck Crawford resembling
http://www.bridalblog.info. The site will autopopulate with RSS feeds allowing you time to market your site. Marketing the site is key, within 6 months the site should be on the positive side of your ledger.
Simple and direct instructions, just avoid the pitfalls that I landed in and move forward with your future internet career. Had I heeded the advice I would be $750 richer at this point.
