Do you understand the PROCESS of Making Money Online?

Hello everyone!

I just thought I would post this for the benefit of anyone who is confused about the actual PROCESS of making money online - it applies no matter what niche you have chosen...

1.The very first thing you need is a SQUEEZE PAGE - basically a one page website.

The ONLY purpose of a squeeze page is to capture the name and address of those who visit. Never try to actually SELL anything on your squeeze page.

To provide your visitors with an incentive - a reason why they should give away their name and email address - you need to offer them a FREE gift. There needs to be something in it for THEM.

When traffic appears at your Squeeze Page they will see the free gift and hopefully sign-up.

2.As soon as your visitors sign-up they are brought to a THANK-YOU PAGE.

The Thank-You page simply thanks them for signing-up and instructs them to check their In-Box for an email that has just been sent to them.

3.When your visitors signed up they were also automatically added to your LIST of suscribers.

This List is managed by your Autoresponder Company (eg aweber). They immediately send your suscribers the email referred to in the Thank-You page.

4.Your Suscribers find the email and click on a link to bring them to details of how to get their free product. If it is downloadable they will be directed to a download page.

5.You send out regular Autoresponder Messages, with good quality content, to your Suscribers to build up a relationship with them.

6.After you've sent them 6/7 messages you will be in a good position to offer them a product which costs money.

That's the process in a nutshell! Making money online is a skill and just like all skills - you need to take the time to learn HOW.


I hope this helps someone...

    This is common knowledge to me now. But this information is spot on for anyone
    still racking their heads over how to do this.

    As a ebay marketer, you really start to understand the importance of "targeted traffic" and only "selling items people are looking to pay for".

    It took me selling on ebay to realize this.

    To really get elaines concept, you really must throw yourself out there and get the squeeze page done. Most ppl don't start b/c of procrastination or fear it won't "convert" when they pay (with money or time) to drive traffic.

    Keep the headline simple, and the bullets simple, and you WILL get signups.

    This is evidenced from the fact that their are powersellers who have bare bones descriptions, but are doing far better than most ebay marketers. They keep it simple.

    Elaine gave the magic formula, I hope more ppl follow it because I alrdy am with success

    It really is this simple..

    the only thing I will take issue with is this: I do not wait the 6 or 7 emails before pitching products. I use a low key pitch in every email from the very beginning (via a 'recommneded resources' section at the bottom of my emails).

    If anyone has delayed list building, I say get off your butt and do it And simple squeeze pages still rock at getting opt-ins.

    Now my question is...your list is going to keep on growing so how do you know that this is the 6th email to person1 (so try selling something), but it is a 2nd email to person 2 (so don't try to sell anything yet).

    How do you do this customization?

      Hi jkiley!

      Here's how it works:

      • First of all you set up an account with an autoresponder company (eg AWeber).
      • You compose a series of emails (called follow-up messages) and decide what interval you want between each email - eg 4/5 days
      • When some-one opts in they arrive on a List at AWeber.
      • AWeber sends them out Message #1
      • 4/5 days later AWeber sends them Message #2 and so on...
      • So, it's up to you to decide (in advance) which Message you want to use to promote a product.
      Does that make sense?
