Get Started Working Online

Show me the Mo-HONEY!

I know that nearly all new people are looking to make money online and need some direction. So, I am going to talk about using FREE services to initially get you started.

If you do have money to invest, then it should be spent initially on advertising. (After you have got all this stuff below set up and running). I would suggest PPC (Pay Per Click) marketing. It is relatively easy to learn to use to develop a simple flow of traffic to your website or blog.

Now, - PPC is and can be a lot more involved than that, I just want to simplify the process for you. However, the PPC (how to) info, will have to wait for now. I will make a separate post about basic PPC methods for you later.

Where to start! The Hard Way or The Easy Way?
I believe that there is always money to be made, whatever your interest. At the very least you can put together an information report about your subject and sell it. A report will increase its value, as you extend the information and turn it into a guide or e-book.

Not enough money in it! You THINK?
What about starting a project in your spare time, whilst still working for a living. Then you get your FREE Blog and FREE Twitter working for you. Then set up selling your download of an e-book through a FREE hosting service! Like my friend, who sells about $1,800's worth of his e-book every month, (fully automated and hand's-off), using FREE services. It is a full resale rights pack and he didn't even write the book or course, nor does he write any of the articles he uses. It is in the Tattoo Designs niche! As he says, "It pays the Mortgage!"

You may also be able to develop products within your line of interest yourself. If not, there are already lots of products covering nearly every subject you can mention. Usually the best and easy way to get started is to look for existing products from other vendors and sell those.

There are products you can purchase the resale rights to, or buy the licence to sell them and keep all the profits yourself, but that usually involves having to sort out all the website landing pages and dealing with customers and providing your own shopping cart and support etc. There is an easier way to get started.

The Easy Way.
Using ClickBank is the easiest way to start that I know of! Here's the simple truth and a reality check for you! If you cannot sell stuff from ClickBank, then you need to pack your dreams away for a while until you have learned more about selling online. Oh, and don't give up your day job. I'm not trying to be sarcastic or condescending, but I hear plenty of stories of people giving up their jobs to start their online businesses, only to fail and blame the system and not themselves.

There's no-need to give up your day job, just get started for free in your spare time. Then, take it from there! Add paid advertising then expand your operation.

If you check www.ClickBank.com you will probably find many products that will match your subject interest or niche. ClickBank has digital products that are usually sold online, where the delivery follows instantly after the purchase. The products are usually eBooks and courses that may also comprise of video and audio packages.

Choose a favorite subject or something of interest to you. Then start to write a BLOG about your interest and get a Twitter account for telling the world about your new blog.

Blog with Google's own Blogging Platform 'Blogger'. (You are looking at a Blogger Blog right now)! Do you see loads of relative banners and links on this page? They are all links that will make money for me, but only if you go off and buy the product or pay to use the service at the other end. I even get paid sometimes, just for a visitor clicking on links and checking out the other advertisers links, so it is not too hard to make money online! You can do this too!

Before you set up your blog, you will need to get a free Google account. Google is the best for all the services you will need to write your blog.

Keep records with Google Documents, compose and spell check within Google Documents, download files as PDF's and start writing articles to talk about your interest. You can create presentations within Google Documents.

Name your blog and Twitter account with a similar name to your area of interest, so, if you are interested a certain breed of animal, dog, cat, gecko or whatever. Think of a name that implies the area of interest.. GeckoKeeper - or ILoveGeckos / IloveCats / CatPawstNews.

Create the content for your Blog and Twitter pages yourself. It is the easiest and safest way to make sure that you don't step on any-one's toes, when it comes to copyright infringement. For example; Use your own pictures of yourself for your blog and Twitter photo. Write your own intro and fill in your bio and as much about yourself as you are willing to give out.

Personalise the look of your Blog and Twitter page to match your niche subject if possible. Try to create a 'Brand' look, by using similar fonts and colours, so that people can see that the blog page and Twitter page obviously go together!

An Overview.
So, using FREE services - you can find a product of interest to you, market it, (this simply means talking and writing about it). then providing a link to the customer, so that they can go and buy it! I make it sound so easy, don't I? Well, at the basic level, that is all you really have to do, it is not rocket science!

Sign-up with ClickBank. - Choose a product.
Sign-up with Google and set up a Blogger blog about your niche product.
Sign-up with Twitter and link and match your page to your blog. Then find followers by; -
Signing-up with Twellow.com and get your quality Twitter followers from relative categories!

Twitter about your subject on Twitter; Make posts on your blog and give your ClickBank link in the posts as you talk about the benefits of your product. (And if available, you may have banners that link to your vendors product on you blog).

Don't just write about the product it's-self, write about related issues too. This may be health concerns or negatives of not using the product. It could be reviews of other products in the same niche, thus giving your readers even more variety or a wider choice of products.

Try to write clear informative articles about your subject and post them on FREE article submission sites. Free article submission sites, generally allow you an authors box at the foot of the article, to put in your own links to your blog and-or website. One article may bring traffic for many years and get re-used on other peoples sites, thus creating more inward-bound links to your blog or website!

You can find ideas for your own articles by searching for your topic on these same article sites too, or even simply using other peoples articles in the first instance. (Just be sure, you also use the original authors links within the post, as per the rules and copyright laws of these types of sites).

If you have chosen a good ClickBank product, the vendor, (the originator of the product), will usually provide an affiliates page, where you can copy script code for banners to put on your blog. They may even provide full articles for you to use 'as is', or to modify to make the article unique. There may also be product images for you to use on your site!

www.ClickBank.com
ClickBank is FREE to sign up to. You then select a product of interest to you in ClickBank's marketplace. I won't bore you with how to sign-up at ClickBank, you should just be able to follow the on screen instructions from ClickBank.

My thoughts on this are, (it is tough love though, I know), but I think, if you cannot find your way through a simple sign-up process, then you are going to have a lot of difficulty online. I may point out certain things for particular sign-up processes, that are not always self explanatory.

Like with ClickBank, (your ClickBank ID forms part of your URL, (the www. address) and is also used for tracking sales); so don't use your first name as your ClickBank ID, because it will just look stupid! (Don't use your surname either)! It's not too bad if you already have done that, it is just often better to try to use an ID that looks like gibberish-code, or is in fact the opposite; a name that implies your niche. i.e. If you are in the pet dog products niche, and that is 'all' you are ever going to intend to sell, then 'petdog' may be a good name to use.

However, consider that you may later find that the dog niche is not working for you and you want to use the same account for cat products or worse financial advice or foreign-trading and investment info. Then 'petdog' is not going to fit or sound very professional. Where-as gibberish-code like 'Gtopsgek' is none recognisable as any particular niche and can be used for literally any product!

The basics is down to selling stuff. (WHAT? You don't like to sell)? Everything you talk about positively 'is selling'; even if you are telling a friend of some new movie, or restaurant, or new car you like or whatever it is. You have only to get passionate about something and you will find that you can sell it!

I know why people hate selling, it is because they have probably been either sold-to by someone they didn't like, and or been pressured into buying something they didn't want or need; or they were actually forced to sell something they didn't want to sell, because they knew it was not as good as they were being told to say and they possibly were not passionate enough about the product themselves.

The News.
What you will discover, is if you were to continue doing what you are doing now, is that people will continue to buy stuff, all sorts of stuff. The world will not stop buying stuff just because you give up on your dream to make money somehow.

All you have to do, is choose what stuff you want to sell and then put your self in the market place were people are buying it! And here's the headline for that news. "People will buy what you sell." It really is as simple as that!

Do you think an expensive product will sell better or worse than an inexpensive product?

Lets say you sell an eBook about Dog-Food Dangers. (by the way, I do, and I make a lot of money with it too)! Maybe you have two different offers, one with all the bells and whistles and the other is a different version of the same eBook without all the extras. One is priced at $97 and the other at $5. A customer may see the two eBooks and decide between them. Here is their logic.

Scenario One.
One person will say, the $97 eBook has all the recipes and lots of info that must obviously cover everything that the cheap eBook does. Also, for $5 the other eBook must be rubbish!
Yet another person, will say that the $5 eBook is all they will need, (perhaps they don't have or want to spend $97 for information). They will justify, that the $5 eBook is the one for them!

Scenario Two.
You may have the exact same product as a competitor, yours turns out to be more expensive. The customer may choose your more expensive product, simply because they think the more expensive product is better in some-way. After-all, you pay more for quality don't you? We all know that, like its an unspoken rule or law!

Don't like selling? Get Run-Over.
Selling is as easy as trying to get yourself run over. (Not that I've tried that particular technique myself)! But, if you wanted to get run over, you would not stand on the pavement of a suburban road on a Sunday morning. If you want to get run over, try standing on a busy highway, or a motorway that carries lots of fast moving traffic at rush-hour. Your goal may then soon be reached.

It is the same with selling stuff. If you sell stuff, you need to put yourself on that highway where the buyers are. If you sell music downloads, you need to be advertising in the blogs and forums and on the websites that are talking about your style of music. Also, you need to advertise your products with the right style and keywords that will match your product to what your potential customers are actually searching for.

Please check back with this blog for future posts that will take this subject further for you, I hope that this is enough to get you started. As a point of note, you now know more than I did about all of this stuff, when I got started!

The Secret.

Success doesn't just happen, even if you win the lottery, you still had to do something by way of buying a ticket. If you're not 'in the game' you don't even stand a single chance to win anything! You've got to be in-it-to-win-it!

The same mentality should be applied to all areas of your life! If you are not actively seeking a better income, better lifestyle, to learn and grow, then you will just stand still or even regress. Jobs become stale, trends change and life moves on.

You've got to be ready to change with life, progress to the next level and always keep moving forward.






What will YOU do? TAKE ACTION NOW, or wait till 'something comes your way'?
It is said, that - those who wait for their ship to come in are always missing the boat!

Working Online:- to make money!

Working Online Pointers:-

You have to find something you enjoy doing, something you are passionate about, -thus keeping it interesting for you.

It's no good selling time share or mortgages if that stuff bores you to tears! (With the exception of,- if the commissions are big enough, I can get interested in almost anything!)

There is a secret code to be found on this page, it is the key to your wealth and good fortune. You may want to check out the links to make sure you don't miss it!

Hi,
Sorry - I know my post is late this month, I've been piling the work on and working the pounds off when not at my desk! You know how it goes, you make lists of things you 'have to do', then because there are too many things to do, you prioritise and assign a "A" "B" or "C" to each.

It just seems that all the stuff on my list is priority "A"! Result, = you create a "+" & "++" system to add to the ABC's! Then, guess what, you find you've just spent most of the little valuable time have, spinning your wheels, prioritising lists, making new lists, (because the old one got messy) and you generally get stuck in a rut.

Paralysis By Analysis!
That's the term for it in business circles.. Like writing this post, it's only going to take me maybe 20 minutes, but in true form something else just cropped up to delay this. I've just restarted writing some 6 hours after I started. What's the answer.

There are lots of remedies that will work differently for different people in various situations. In this instance, I have set a timer and sat down to write it, giving me a 33minute time frame to have it finished or cross it off my list altogether, missing a month!

What's it worth? Well, I use this post elsewhere as a part of a larger article and it is used in a feed elsewhere. This raises my profile (hopefully), and ultimately my sales. So it is very valuable to me, sure I could miss this month and take the easy way out, but then that would lead to me probably missing next month too. Where does it all stop.

Another valid solution, if I do not complete this today and something to consider for the future, is to just quickly record what I want to say and hand it over to Elance to have it typed up. There are also a few other sources for transcription services, just check out Google search.

Anyway, it looks like I've managed to get my gripe out of they way - finally for this month. All I have to do now is NOT let this stop me in the future.. Just be sure you know the different between spinning wheels and thinking you are busy, when in reality you are just making lists of lists of things to do and NOT GETTING ANY REAL WORK DONE!

Andy.

You ain't got the money or the time?

You ain't got the money or the time? WHAT!

No - and I'll tell you, you never will have! DO YOU KNOW WHY?

Because:- YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT! (Yes, I'm shouting, sorry, you know it makes me so mad)!

Well, its those people who whinge on about not having enough time or money to do the things they want to do, I just want to grab them and slap them!

I make money online and I'll help others who want to do the same.. Its not all for personal gain or anything like that, (I know you've probably already made your mind up anyway, but I'll tell you the truth)..

You see, it just so happens that the main niche I'm in, happens to be in the self development and income generation line. Why, well, I got started for free, I did all the work myself without spending money on servers, hosts, advertising, marketing, domain names, what-ever-else-you-can-think-of. I didn't buy it. - Not because I didn't want to, but because I had no-money!

The products I bought into and learnt from also had affiliate programs and when I told people what I was doing, they wanted to do the same. When they bought the products I also made some money, it soon dawned on me that I was actually doing what I had set out to do!

So don't think you can tell me that its impossible to get started for free, I know the truth from personal experience! You know what also? If I were talking to someone who insists on this line, face to face, I'd have to turn and walk away from them, simply because its like they are calling me a liar! So don't call me a liar, I'm telling you, I got started for free and you can do the same!

So, you are going to say.. "Then why are you offering to help others? What's in it for you?
Well, I'd like to think that if I can help you make some money, you'd at least give me credit for it!
Also, if you do spend any money (the money you've made from me helping you), on the programs I promote to you, ones I also use to learn and make money with, then often I will also make money via an affiliate sale.

I'm not trying to hide anything, or be frugal with the truth! I'm telling you or showing you something that is actually making money for me. There's nothing particularly special or spectacular about me, except that I have belief and faith in myself and understand what and why I'm doing what I'm doing!

So, in a way, I am special and spectacular, in that... Most people cannot ever develop this level of belief in themselves. Here's a saying, that is part of my self-talk, you should make it part of yours...

Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't.... YOU'RE RIGHT!

So how do you do this? First things first, you need to realise that time IS your limited asset, but in this case when you are just starting out, if you truly have no-money to invest in your business, then TIME is your only viable FREE asset you have to give..

Here's one of my self-talk statements that you will need to have and remind yourself of -on a regular basis..

Time IS my only LIMITED resource!

How do you make time? - Well, what about all the time you spend watching TV, most of that is wasted time! Especially if its a dope opera or unreality TV show! (Why call them "REALITY" when no-one's life is really like anything they ever do / apart from watching them sleep)!

Sorry, I'm a bit jaded about all that TV Shh.. Stuff, but I can only see it as a waste of time, if you haven't done the things you need to do to make a living and designing a lifestyle first! After you've put in enough time, then you can reap the rewards!

Why is it that some people can barely afford the TV licence fee or the electricity bill to power it, yet avoid doing any work to get them out of their money getting troubles?

If your desire is strong enough, you will find the time. I used to come home after 14 hours out at work, then sit and learn and work at my computer till I either fell asleep or had to go to work again the next day. Yes, I'd worked all day, spent all night building my dream, then gone to work again the next day with no-sleep! I found the time - it was hard, but I did it!

So, this brings me to the next point. If you don't actually have to do that, why would you want to? You have no-boss standing over you, cracking a whip. No reason (YET), to build your own business online. Perhaps you can't see it, or you don't realise how much money you can make..

Usually, I find it is self-belief, or lack of it. Look, there are all these other people online, making money, thousands of new people everyday starting out and becoming financially free. Do you think there is no-room left for you. Every last single spot has been taken, besides which, doing what I do, or whatever niche it is, means finding new customers or clients all the time will be impossible. (Fine then - stay broke - if that's what you really believe)!

Everything requires work, real work. Don't believe all these claims that say you will get rich quick, like overnight, just by joining this or that program and doing no-work. I've never seen it and although I've heard lots of hype from people, I've never actually met anyone who's done it!

I have met and know people who did it the same way as me, or have had an advantage of having money to put in to get started. If you NEED to get started for free, or verey low budget then you are in for a long haul and hard work. You will still have a better chance than I did, because I had no-one to follow to start me off.

As soon as I started making money, I knew I had to put it back into my business. I bought into a few things, without really knowing what to expect, with no-advice from a thrid part who had my interest at heart.. LOOK, I'm not going to let you get burned, follow what I tell you to do and you will only risk loosing what you have put in, due to your own lack of TIME input!

If you have any money at all, you need to start with Start-Your-Profits-Today, from Michael Cheney, you could find it on your own, but I suggest you should use my link. This is because I have taken the time to show you and introduce this program to you.

It was the best program I purchased, it gave me lots of info and step by step videos that showed me exactly what I needed to know to get started.

Here it is Start-Your-Profits-Today. http://tinyurl.com/StartYPT

So, If your interested, read on, and you will find out why I was wound-up, and what got me to write this.

=====================

OK, so why am I upset? (Imitate sounding like Al Pacino in Scarface)... This Funking Guy... he took my time and effort, whinging all the way, made some money, blew it on rubbish that I told him wouldn't work, but its his money....

Still whinging (not me, HIM)!.. I help him make some more money, I ask him to get XYZ product that will take his knowledge to the next level and hopefully, his income along with it..

But, you know what.. He only starts asking that if, he avoids using the link I've provided him, will he get it cheaper? NO - I replied, its the same price, it only means that if you buy it through my link, I'll get a small commission... If not, all the money you pay will go to the seller!

So.. this is what makes me angry, not only am I helping him free of charge, putting in my-time and knowledge. BUT - HE IS ASKING IF I CAN GIVE HIM MY COMMISSION TO MAKE HIS PURCHASE MORE AFFORDABLE! The cheek of it!

OK, sorry, I know, I know, I asked for it! But, a bit of advice for you; If someone is helping you and guiding you to make money online, don't try to sidestep them when they tell you where to buy XYZ! I'd say, its even rude to ask the question in the first place!

He went to all the trouble of setting up and signing up his wife as an affiliate, so that he could purchase the product, get the commission and save himself a few quid!
(There is a term to describe him, but I cannot say the big "W" word on here)!

Hey, but - you know what, I didn't get angry or upset at him personally. I just said, there's the link, you'll pay the same physical price either way! (He didn't get it - but then I'm a sarcastic type sometimes and I don't always get my point over properly when I'm angered).

So, in case he ever reads this post, or I have not made myself clear -
Q. Did I help him any-more? Nope!
Q, Where's the product he purchased? - (probably lost on one of his hard drives amongst all the PC games and other tat he has on his computer).
Q, Is he still working 9 to 5? Err... YES!
