Free Stuff For Everyone!!! Huge Competition Starting January 1st. Stay Tuned

I have decided that this year is going to be my year. I am going to have huge success this year. I have also decided the different ways I am going to make money online. There are literally thousands of ways you can make money online and you are only limited by your imagination. Here are a few I am going to use to make money online. Undoubtably I will discover even more ways to make money online this year but these are what I will be using to begin with

1. Blogging

I know in the last month my blog post regularity has decreased. But don’t be worried because this year I will be focusing a lot of building up my blog so it can produce a regular income. This means that there will be at least one post per day and as the year goes on it is likely that I will be free to produce two posts per day. That is once my income goes up. I will make money on my blog through advertising, site reviews and affiliate links.

2. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing is probably the one place I will make most of my money this year. Most people fail at affiliate marketing because you lose money before you start making money and people give up. Well fortunately I am making money straight of the mark. I am constantly learning and growing in this area and I expect to be making $10,000 per month by the end of the year just through affiliate marketing. I market my products using Motive Interactive and I market them using this blog, article databases and pay per click campaigns.

3. Freelance Writing

At the moment this is where I am making the majority of my money. It is easy and simple to make money freelance writing and I make an average of $400-$500 per week freelance writing. With time I will begin to learn how to write sales pages and I will be able to charge more for my work. By the end of the year I will probably be making the same amount freelance writing but I will be working a lot less.

4. Selling Products

I have only tried to sell 2 of my own products in all my time online and I have made about $20 all up from these two products. Not exactly a lot of money, but it has shown me that there is a lot of potential to be had. You can make a lot of money by selling products and I plan to produce 5 different products this year to market and sell. The best thing about selling products is that other people can market them for you and you can make loads of money.

5. Flipping Websites

I was once bitter at flipping websites, but I am looking to flip at least one large website this year. I need to learn a lot more about website flipping first but I believe I will make a few thousand dollars this year from website flipping.

6. Tutoring Others

This is the market I have not yet tapped into. It has so much potential where I can make a lot of money. At the moment I am helping a few people out on MSN and I am offering one on one tutoring of affiliate marketing to those who sign up for Motive Interactive through this affiliate link. I love helping others one on one and this will make me a lot of money towards the end of the year when I have more time to teach others and more successful ventures under my belt.

7. Email Newsletter

If you have 10,000 email newsletter subscribers then you can easily make $1,000,000 per year. Current I have 250 email subscribers so I am 2.5% of the way there. It does not sound like a lot but those 250 subscribers will soon turn into 500, 1000, 2000, 5000 and then 10,000 +. My goal is to have 3,000+ email newsletter subscribers by the end of the year. I use aweber to send out my email newsletters and I recommend this service to anyone looking to make a lot of money online

Well these are the ways that I am going to make money this year. If you want to learn about these things then I will be talking about them on my blog and I will also be offering one on one tuition throughout the year. Sign Up Here for Motive Interactive and you can become my student right now.

Well the new year is finally upon us. It seems like 2008 just flew past. I had a massive year that was filled with some incredible things. I got engaged, then I got married, I moved out of home and I started working online full time.

In the start of 2008 I decided that it would be my year. Because I decided this I accomplished a lot. I have now decided that 2009 is going to be my year and it is going to be your year too. In order to have a great year this year you need to decide that this is your year. No matter what your circumstances or how bad your financial situation is at the moment you need to decide this is going to be your year.

If you don’t believe that you can have a great year this year then don’t worry because I believe you can and that is enough.

I am already having a great year this year because I have decided to have one. I have gotten a lot of work freelance writing at my desired rate of $0.02 per word. This means I can earn enough money to start paying off the debt I have accumulated over the years. I am also starting to make a decent amount of money through affiliate marketing. This will make me even more profitable and will take me towards my goal of earning $100,000 in 2009.

2009 is the year where you can achieve great things, both online and offline. You need to decide that this is going to be a great year and work hard at making it the best year you have ever had.

To Your Success

Well it is the beginning of a new year and this year is going to be better than ever before. You need to decide that this is your year and I have created the perfect way for you to do that.

Well 2009 is upon us and it is finally time for me to let you guys know exactly what my goals are for 2009.

In 2008 one of my biggest goals was to be earning a full time income online. Well I feel that I have achieved that as I work full time from home 5 days per week. I have achieved this dream and I no longer require a day job. However, I am earning this by doing things such as freelance writing which I do not enjoy as much as other things.

So here is a list of my goals for 2009. At the end of next year I will revisit these goals (like Tyler Cruz did on his blog) and see how I went.

1. Earn $100,000 Online

This is a big goal for me. Last year I only made about $10,000 (mainly because I was a student and was unemployed most of the year). This year I have the goal of earning over $100,000. This is a big jump but online anything is possible. I will be doing this through a variety of methods. Freelance writing, blogging, flipping websites, creating and selling products and affiliate marketing (and anything else I discover along the way). It is a massive goal but when you break it down I only need to earn $274/day which is most definately do-able.

2. 2009+ RSS Subscribers for my Blog

At the moment I have just over 350 RSS subscribers. Not a lot but it is a lot more than most blogs. By the end of 2009 I want to have over 2009 RSS subscribers. I will do this through giving away free stuff for subscribing, running killer competitions and continuing to produce top quality content.

3. Earn a Full Time Income From My Blog ($1,000/week)

If I have 2,009 RSS subscribers then I only need to make $2/month per reader. Tyler Cruz makes $3 per month for each of his readers so I think that this is achievable. I will not just be doing this through advertising but also through affiliate marketing and through my email newsletter list. 

I want to earn a full time income blogging because blogging is exactly what I love to do.

4. Earn $100+/Day Affiliate Marketing

At the moment I am making $10/day affiliate marketing and I have only been doing it for two weeks. My first goal is to reach $30 per day because then I can stop freelance writing and just focus solely on affiliate marketing. Then my next goal is to be earning $100/day or more through affiliate marketing. There are thousands of people out there that are doing this and I am going to be one of them.

5. Buy a Bread Maker

I have always wanted to own a bread maker because I love bread when it is fresh and hot. This was on my list of things to do for 2008 and I didn’t do it so it is back on the list for 2009.

6. Start a Christian Blog

I do not always want to be a MMO writer. Eventually I want to be a Christian writer. My relationship with God is one of the most defining things in my life and it has transformed me a lot. I want to be able to become a Christian writer to help others come to know God. I have the idea and the domain lined up so all I need to do is launch www.thedisciplinedseeker.com in 2009.

They are my goals for 2009. What are your goals? Share them in the comments section below.

Merry Christmas to Everyone.
Christmas is actually finished here in Australia but I know that it is still going on in a few countries. I hope everyone has a great day.
I love Christmas

This is step #5 of How To Make $50 a Day Affiliate Marketing in Just One Month. In Step #1 we talked about signing up for an affiliate network. If you have not yet done that then you should sign up for Motive Interactive. Read Step #2 or read Step #3 or Step #4.

Step #5 - Sign Up For an Article Directory and Create a Killer Signature

When you are promoting your affiliate offer you will be doing this by using what is called ‘article marketing’ (aka Bum Marketing). You will be writing articles and publishing them to articles directory sites.

1. Sign Up For Article Directories

Firstly, sign up for these article directory sites. I recommend beginning with EzineArticles and then once you have published a good amount of articles on there you can go to GoArticles and create even more.

2. Create a Killer Signature Link

Secondly, and this is the important part, we need to create a killer signature. Your signature will appear at the bottom of all the posts that you submit to these websites. It needs to do its job of getting people to click on it and sign up for whatever it is you are offering.

Your signature link will link to the landing page you set up before. Your signature link will send people from your article, to your landing page and from your landing page they will go to the affiliate page. We are linking to a landing page because a lot of the article directories do not allow you to link directly to an affiliate website.

Have Something To Entice Readers With

In order to make a killer signature you need to have something to entice them with. Do they want to find out more information? Do they want to win a prize? What are you enticing your readers with to get them to click through?

Have a Specific Call To Action

You also need a specific call to action. People don’t automatically assume that if they click a link they will get whatever you are enticing them with. You need to tell them specifically. Say things like “Go to www.mywebsite.com to claim your prize” “Click Here to find out the secrets to ….”. By having a specific call to action more people will click through.

Make It Simple To Do

The harder it is for them to get to your site the less people will go. Make it super simple and super easy and you will get a lot more people.

Make It Catch Their Eye

Make it catch their eye. You want people to read your signature because if they never read it they will never click through. There are two ways you can get your signature to catch their eye

A. Make It Stand Out

By making your signature stand out (by using things such as colors or bold text) then you can catch people’s eye. Once you catch their eye you have more chance of them reading your signature and clicking through to your landing page. Its genius.

B. Make It Blend In

You can make it blend in so that it appear like it is part of the article. By doing this those who read your article all the way to the end will then read your signature. If your signature is good with an enticing call to action then it will do its job of converting people

Ok so by now you should have signed up for an affiliate marketing site such as Motive Interactive and you also should have found at least 5 products to promote and at least 30 keywords for each of those products. You should have also create a simple landing page on your own site, or on a free site such as blogger.com or wordpress.com and you should have signed up for Article Directories and created your killer signature link. Step #6 Tomorrow

This is step #4 of How To Make $50 a Day Affiliate Marketing in Just One Month. In Step #1 we talked about signing up for an affiliate network. If you have not yet done that then you should sign up for Motive Interactive. Read Step #2 or read Step #3.

Step #4 - Create a Simple Landing Page For Your Product

Before we do any promotion we need to have a simple landing page set up that will redirect anyone and everyone to the affiliate offer we are promoting. The good news is that you do not have to have your own website to do this. You can go to www.wordpress.com or www.blogger.com and set up a website in just a few minutes.

You can view the landing page I have created for my first offer here. As you can see it is a very simple page with a direct call to action.

Setting up your landing page can be done a few different ways and you will need to alter it depending on your product. There are a few great ways to make a good landing page.

Have a Simple Call To Action Landing Page

Like my landing page you can have a simple page that has a call to action. If you want to take a hold of this great offer click here now. Make your offer sound really great, really reliable and really easy. If you are promoting a product as opposed to a email submission offer then you will need to presell the customer and get them excited about the product before you give them a call to action.

This should be really easy to do on blogger or wordpress. Try to make your page have a white background (people respond well to white) and make sure that the links to your offer are prominent on your page and exist before the fold. This means make sure your customers don’t have to scroll down to find the link.

Have a Product Review Landing Page

If you are selling a product then a lot of people will want to read a review on the product before they purchase it. It can work to have a landing page that has a review of the product (but make sure you also include specific calls to action).

Simply sign up to be an affiliate of a product and then email the owner saying you would like a review copy because you plan to promote their product. 9 times out of 10 they will give you one free of charge.

Have an Information Site or Blog

Have an information site or blog that is completely about the niche your product is in. Every article should be in some way related to your product (the more specifically related the better) and each article should have a link to you affiliate site (and a call to action). This way people will not just feel like you are trying to give them something. But they will feel like you are helping them out. It is funny that by giving away free information you can often make a lot more money in sales.

So now you have completed step #4 of creating your landing page. This landing page will be essential in order to successful convert traffic to sales. So make sure it is as good as you can make it.

In Step #1 we talked about signing up for an affiliate network. If you have not yet done that then you should sign up for Motive Interactive. In Step #2 we talked about finding 5 good products that you can promote.

Step #3 - Find at Least 30 Keywords For Each Product

In order to promote our affiliate offers we are going to write articles which contain a signature link to your landing page. Before we do this we need to find some keywords that we are going to focus on in order to get traffic and results.

Firstly, let me just explain something. When people are searching the net they are doing it in three different mind frames.

The first mind frame is just surfing. These people type in generic terms like “surfboard”.

The second mind frame is someone who is researching. They will type in terms such as “Surfboard review” or even more specifically “JS Surfboard Review”

Then the third mind frame is the buying mind frame. These are the people you mainly want to target because you do not have to convince them to buy, you just need to provide them the opportunity to buy (or sign up). These people use specific searches such as “JS Combat Mode Surfboard 6′2″ or “Buy JS Combat Mode Surfboard” or “JS Combat Mode Surfboard Shipping Costs”. But focusing on these keywords you will target more buyers who are looking to buy.

Ok! Now that we know this we can begin our keyword research

How Do I Find Good Keywords To Use?

This is a good question and it has a very good answer. What we are going to do is focus our attention on finding optimized search results in Google. What does this mean?

Ok, lets put it plain and simple. Go into Google and type in a search option by put it in inverted Commas (” “). For example go to google and type in “Surfboard” this will give you over 3 MILLION search results. Now that is a lot of competition.

Now what we want to focus on is optimized search results that are between 1000-5000. This means there is less competition and a good chance that you can rank high in the search engines. So if we type in “JS Surfboard” then we get about 2,000 results. This is perfect.

So do your research on Google. Try to type in different search results that you think people looking for your product or service would be searching for. Generally the more words you use in a phrase the less results you will get.

Find at least 30 keywords for each of your 5 products. They don’t have to be exactly within the 1000-5000 range but it is better if they are. The less results the more likely you are going to rank high for that search term.

So this is how you do Step #3 and we are getting closer to our goal of making $50 per day within a month. Don’t rush, do this keyword research well and it will reap rewards later. You will end up having 150 targeted keywords (30 for each product).

Step #4 Coming Tomorrow

In Step #1 we talked about signing up for an affiliate network. If you have not yet done that then you should sign up for Motive Interactive.

Step #2 - Finding 5 Products To Promote

Step 2 in making $50 per day within a month is to find 5 different products to promote. If you are a noob to affiliate marketing then I suggest you go for the products that only require a simple zip or email entry. This means you don’t have to sell anyone anything. All they have to do is go to the affiliate site, enter in their email address and you get paid.

Just because the product pays you a lot of money doesn’t mean it is the best product to go for. I suggest talking to your affiliate manager about which products have converted well for other people. This is exactly what I did and he suggested one product to me that has so far had a 50% conversion rate. That means one in every two people I send to the affiliate site end up signing up. So I make an average of $0.75 for every person I send to the affiliate website.

Get an Affiliate Program Worth $1/Lead or More

There is no point doing any marketing if you don’t have a good product to market. I suggest going for the affiliate programs that pay you over $1 for a simple email or zip submit. This way you need less people to enter in order to make the same amount of money.

Get an Affiliate Program With a Great Landing Page

Go and check out the landing page of your affiliate program. It should be really simple with a large focus on the prize and it needs to be really simple to navigate and enter. If the site is ugly to you then it will be ugly for everyone, if it is hard to navigate for you it will be hard to navigate for everyone.

Get an Affiliate Program With The Least Options

You want your affiliate program to have the least amount of options possible. More options means more people will fail to fill it out. It should be as simple as humanly possible as this will get you the most conversions and the most money.

So go through and find 5 different products that you want to market and over the next month we are going to market them so we can be earning at least $50 per day in just one month.

Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways you can make money online (if you know how to do it). There are affiliate marketers out there who make over $100,000 per MONTH! and there are many affiliate markers who make over $10,000 per month.

I am a beginner affiliate marketer. It is my goal to earn just $30 per day affiliate marketing within one month. This is so I can pay for my rent and can be freed up to focus more on my blog and on making money from affiliate marketing.

I have only just started. And with only 4-5 days of doing this affiliate marketing thing I am already earning $20 per day. That is just $10 per day short of my goal. You can also do this.

I am going to take you through a 7 step program that can have you earning $50 a day in just 30 days time. It is a simple program and anyone can do it. All you need to do is 

TAKE ACTION!!!

If you don’t take action then you will never see results. This method will cost you no money, only time so if you have a spare hour or two each day to spare then lets begin making some money

Step #1 - Sign Up For an Affiliate Program

In order to make money through affiliate marketing then you need to sign up for an affiliate program. It is these affiliate programs that will allow you to make your money. Without them you cannot make any money.

The program that I would recommend for any new people is Motive Interactive. It has the easiest user interface and it has loads of CPA offers that you can easily make money from. When signing up you need to know a little bit about affiliate marketing because they will need to talk to you on the phone before you are accepted.

To help you sign up you need to know that you are mainly going to be marketing these products and offers through what is called “article marketing” and you will be using “text links” to market them. Basically “text links” is affiliate marketing lingo for writing articles, publishing them and then putting links to the affiliates page.

When you talk to anyone from Motive Interactive then you need to know a little bit about what you are doing. It helps to sound professional. If you are a complete noob then they will not accept you. So just talk to them about your article marketing strategies and you should be fine.

If you sign up through my referral link here then send me an email and I will be happy to give you some one on one training (only for those who sign up through my referral link)

This is step #1. It is simple and straightforward but it needs to be done. It is likely that it will take you 1-3 days to get accepted so don’t expect it to be instant.

We will talk about step #2 tomorrow.
