The Internet As Your Path To A Life Of Luxury
You can work your ass off slaving away for the man or you can start your own business, but really is that any better? Ask anyone who is self employed how much free time they have to spend living a life of luxury. Most don’t have any. Self employment can be a b*tch, but it can also be extremely rewarding especially if you do it right.
So what is the best business you can get into? That depends on you. Like they say “Do what you love and the money will follow.” With that said you may also find that your passion can be turned into cash through the internet. Making money online has a whole lot of benefits for example:
1) You make money online from anywhere in the world. You can hit the road and travel the planet while managing your business online.
2) You can set up an online business and then forget all about it and still watch the money roll in while you live a life of luxury.
3) You don’t need to carry any stock (but you can if you want). The internet is about information and if you can provide the information a person wants you can earn a tidy sum.
Sounds fantastic! You bet it is but if this is the first you have heard about making money online let me forewarn you; Making money online is a business. You will hear alot of hype telling you how fricken easy it but you do actually have to get off of your butt and work (thats a figure of speech because you don’t have to actually get off your butt. Yes you can do it all with out moving away from your computer screen, but you do have to work).
O.K. I am willing to work at it but how to you make money online?
I am glad you asked because I know all about this stuff and I am happy to tell you all about it.
1) Sell information products. All you need is a paypal account. You can create products yourself or buy them cheap. This site is golden to get you started and it is free to join: Information Ninja
2) Affiliate programs. You don’t need a penny to get started or even a product to sell (information product or otherwise). You can earn a commission from selling other peoples products. There are affiliate programs for everything from bongs to books. Amazon.com is a prime example of an affiliate program. You sign up for free, the affiliate gives you a link that you use to promote their product. Whenever someone makes a purchase through your affiliate link you get paid a portion of the profits.
3) Advertising. People will pay you to put links or ads on your websites. The easiest way to do this is with google adsense. Once again this program is free to join. Google will give you a bit of code to place on your site and when people click on the ads that code generate you earn cash. The key is to create alot of websites with alot of fresh original content, but you dont have to have a billion sites you can still make a profit with only one site if that site gets a sh*t load of traffic, which brings me to a key point.
TRAFFIC
If you want to succeed online no matter what method you use you will need lots of traffic. Getting traffic to your website is a huge topic and a whole other lesson. Here are the basics to getting a wholelotta traffic:
1) Original content. Keep it fresh. Update it often.
2) Backlinks. Create lots of links from other websites that connect to your website
Thats the stripped down basics but if you do a search on SEO you will be able to find that the subject of getting traffic is endless.
