Making $50 in an hour is nothing to sneeze at. Extrapolating that out to 40 hours a week and 52 weeks per year, comes to a little over $100,000! Take a second to think about that…
In this guide, we are going to breakdown a simple yet mind-blowing way to make money online. Seriously, after you do this the first time, you won’t believe how easy it really is to make this amount of money!
With my specific case study, I came up with 2 hours because that profit margin breakdown really enticed me to work on this over other potential projects. That being said, using this method, you can really make more or less than that depending on what your preference is.
Enough babbling… lets get started!
Unless you are selling and/or promoting your own product, then 99% of the time you are going to be using an affiliate link to make money online online.
An affiliate link is a special url address that embeds some type of code with the link that lets a company give you credit for any sales made through that link. For the most part, an affiliate link looks like so:
As more and more companies start to adapt the affiliate model and technology allows for more specific tracking, affiliate links have gotten even more complicated:
Having more than one blog, site, or whatever you want to call them seems rather outdated by today’s standards. The power of feeder sites, are often overlooked. What better way to gain links, then from simply linking between sites in your network.
A great Wordpress plugin called Page Links To allows you to redirect article links within your loop to the URL of your choice. In other words, a simple Wordpress plugin that allows you to redirect page or post urls to the link of your choice.
For example, you can redirect users to other sites on your network. So if I have multiple financial sites, then I can link between them flawlessly.
Once you install the plug-in all you need to do is scroll down to the bottom of the post creation page and insert the URL in the respective field.
The core idea behind a mailing list is to capture leads of potential customers, so you have a list of targeted users to instantly contact. The time you send out your broadcast can have drastic effects on the conversion rate of the your offer.
While these leads may be interested, the time you send your email could effect the conversion rate of your particular offer. For example, if many of your leads are business professionals, then sending them broadcasts in the morning, when they usually have the most emails, might result in the lead just deleting your email.
Another important reason to note the time you send out broadcasts, is if the particular product doesn’t launch until a certain time. It would be inefficient of us to physically wait for that time to manually click send.
The following video shows you how to easily use Aweber to post date broadcasts, so you can create them earlier and automatically send them out at the designated time.
Regardless of the type of site you are running, the need for some type of content management system (CMS) is a must. Just think about how much time you can save by not needing to directly edit any web design code to update your site every time.
CMS and other similar scripts have become so popular now that most hosting companies offer solutions that allow you to install them in just a couple of minutes and with no web coding know-how.
Below is a video that will run though how to setup your own hosted Wordpress blog in just under 5 minutes.
A while back I wrote an article about how to convert sales with little traffic, which is still very relevant today; however, I thought I would dive more into the subject and share where I think most people go wrong.
I am sure you have seen it over and over… heck, you might even be guilty of it… but I cannot tell you how many times I have visited a site only to be plastered with ad banners all over? There will be banners above the article, below the article, on the sides of the article, and even within the article. It gets even more annoying when half of them are animated gifs or flash.
I will even go as far as to confess that for a brief stint, when I first started trying to make money online, I would try to find each and every banner and throw them everywhere. That being said, I quickly realized that this was not the most optimal and efficient method of trying to convert sales.
From squeeze pages, to sales pages ,to full on sites, many times we make some sort of online entity and then forget that we can actually go offline to market it.
Yes, there are social media and other forms of online marketing; however, there are just as effective marketing strategies we can employ in the physical world.
Odds are if you already manage a site, then you have told friends and family about it. How many times have you either had to write down the site URL or tell them to just search on Google? While these tactics could eventually get them to your site, we are relying on the person’s memory to help get them there.
By using something like a business card or pamphlets, we are not only helping them remember the URL, but, depending on what all information you share, we are also reminding people what your site is all about.
These type of print material will also make it more likely for somebody to visit your site. Without the card, they may come home and completely forget. With a card or pamphlet, they will be more likely to put the piece of paper by their computer or just go and check out the site right away.
With social networks, marketing your product or service has never been as cheap and effective. At the same time, as more and more people start to get on-board to the idea of social network marketing, turning your marketing campaign viral is becoming harder and harder by the second.
Before, we move on to various ways to go viral, lets first define what “going viral” means.
To most people, viral means being seen by millions of people around the net, while that is obviously viral, you do not need that many to successful run a viral marketing campaign. Rather, you want a major influx of targeted visitors that are actually interested in whatever you are promoting.
Now that we got that out of the way, lets look at a couple quality marketing methods to launch a viral campaign…
