The beginners’ guide, how to start you online business and get free training
Earning money from your website, while beeing in vacation and customers still can buy your products and pay for you without any need to contact you is a dream became ture. Succesful online business men are running more than three four websites !!!!!
STEP 1: Understand how money is made on the internet
In its simplest form, money can be made on the internet in roughly three ways:
By setting up your own web site
A web site can be an ideal way to make money online. However, it should be pointed out that you have to be prepared to put in a lot of hard work and have a great deal of patience. Your web site can make money by you offering a product or service on it or by earning advertising revenue or both. You can sell just about anything on a web site but it is recommended that you start with items that are instantly downloadable like software or ebooks. This spares you the agony and extra work of having to specially ship physical items around the world.
You will start by choosing a domain name, registering it and hosting your site. You need to design a site to suit your needs and what you have to sell. You can use the ready templates which provided already or use you favorite webdesigner sofware or get services of a web designer to do this for you or if you are the creative sort with reasonable computer knowledge and some good common sense, you could do this yourself –it’s not that difficult!
You will also need the ability to accept credit card payments from your customers. This has become reasonably easy to do these days by simply creating an account in paypal or making use of a third party processor. Search for these on the search engines. You then need to market your web site either by way of paid ads or by using good Seo (search engine optimization) techniques to get your site ranked well in the search engines.
An alternate method of making money with a web site is by offering free, useful and quality content that appeals to users. Once you have built up a decent amount of regular visitors, you host Google Adsense ads. Google will pay you a commission on all their ads that are clicked on your site. You can also offer paid advertising to other web sites on your own by way of text or banner ads.
By doing some sort of online work for a company
there are numerous genuine companies out there that offer part time work to ordinary individuals. You can find research work, taking of surveys, data capturing, typing, etc. You can source these companies by searching for them on the search engines.
By participating in affiliate programs
Affiliate programs are popular with work-at-homers. An affiliate program is simply an advertising/marketing program run by a company/web site in which they get members to refer visitors to their site. Members are paid per visitor or per sign-up or a combination of both. Most affiliate programs are free to join and the company will provide you with marketing/advertising aids in the form of text ads, sales copy, banners, etc to use. It is quite alright for you to participate in more that one affiliate program at the same time – this greatly increases your chance of success. Incidentally, affiliate activities create a great deal of internet traffic. To further increase your chance of success with affiliate programs; only join established companies that offer well respected and popular products or services.
STEP 2: Decide what you feel comfortable with
Now that you have a brief idea on the most popular money-making methods, you need to decide which one appeals to you. Once you have, feel free to do more research in that area and try to get as much information as possible. Play around with a few ideas until you are sure what you want to do.
STEP 3: Finding the right opportunity
Once you’ve decided on what you’d like to do, you now need to find the right opportunity. If you’ve decided to start your own web site, you need to determine what it’s going to be about. It’s best to base it upon something you have a fair knowledge of or are passionate about.If you’ve decided to take the affiliate route or to do online work for a company, make sure you are dealing with a reputable company that pays promptly. Use the search engines to find possible companies, then email these companies with any questions you have. Ask for references (people who are doing work for this company) and contact these people about their experiences.
Following these simple steps should put you on the right track very quickly. All the best!
How To Make Money With Downloadables
Downloadables (in the context of this article) are ebooks and software/scripts that can be easily downloaded onto a user's computer at the click of a mouse. This article will explain how anyone, with a simple web site, can profit from these highly sought after products.
Information is a commodity that is constantly in great demand - it seems humans can't get enough of it. The fact that you are reading this article means that you require some sort of information. Ebooks that are in demand tell a reader how to do something, software/scripts enable a user to accomplish a task on a computer or on the internet. Now, take advantage of this fact and operate a small web site business satisfying these demands.
Why downloadables? Downloadables have some great advantages over other product lines. Firstly, a customer can order and get his product immediately after payment - this is great as most people are impulsive buyers and buy on the spot. Secondly, downloadables do not require any shipping and hence no shipping costs and all the hard work that goes with that. Thirdly, no need to store products - only one copy of a downloadable need to be on your web server.
Confirm your downloadables
Your downloadables are your products that you will market via your web site. These can either be ebooks or software/scripts or a combination of both.
Sourcing of ebooks
If you have a flair for writing, are knowledgeable on a certain topic, then you can write your own ebook. Write using a word processor and then covert into pdf format or self-executing format, the latter made possible by the great many, often free, ebook publishing software available on the web - source them by searching on the search engines. It seems that "How to" ebooks are the most popular and the desirable length is around sixty to a hundred pages.
If you prefer not writing your own ebooks, then you may purchase reprint rights to ebooks that are written by someone else. Essentially this means that the copyright belongs to the original author but he/she grants you the rights to sell the ebooks.
Some authors charge a once-off fee while others charge a royalty commission on every copy of ebook you sell. You can find these by searching on the web.
Sourcing of software/scripts
For these, you will follow the very same procedure as above. For the sake of clarity, I should explain a slight distinction between software and scripts. The term software is used to describe whole programs that run on your computer like a spreadsheet program while scripts are little programs that, being more internet based, are usually add-ons. An example is a script that adds a forum to your web site.
Establish a web site
if you don't have one already, your next step would be to establish a web site. This has become a relatively easy, cheap and painless exercise. Think of a domain name, register it and get hosting.
Secure payment processing
You will now need to create a new paypal account. This will allow your customers to pay with their credit cards and receive their product as a download immediately thereafter. Or establish secure credit card processing.The easiest way is to make use of the services of a third party processor who would also be willing to assist you with the setup and integration. The third party processor will debit your customers' credit cards and remit the money to you after deducting their commission.
Setup and design your web site
You now need to design your web site taking into account your products and the technology your third party processor is using, but with paypal it will be easyer.
It is advisable to choose an economic website hosting service company which offers a good affiliat program for you. You will buy a webstart package to start your online business. The affiliate program which is offered by the hosting company will allow you to resell the same package and they guarantee a commision for your sales. That will be a suitable and easy product for you to strat up with specialy when the price is suitable for everyone and the service also is very good. Also this is not a one time prifit, it is every month profit. You get commision every month for the sales you had already did as long as your downliner's websites still registered.
Market your site
Now market your web site either by way of text ads, banners, link exchanges and other traffic generation methods. You may also want to use good Seo (search engine optimization) methods to get your site ranked high enough in the search engines.
How it comes together
A visitor browsing your site takes a keen interest in one or more of your ebooks/software/scripts. He decides to buy and is taken to the order page of paypal or your third party processor (by way of an order link on your site). He enters his credit card details and other information and confirms his order. After his order is processed successfully, he is either taken to a secure members-only page on your web site where he is shown the download link or your payment processor emails him a download link. Either way, by clicking on the link, he is able to download his ebook/software/script immediately.
