Make Your First $10 Online

29 replies
Just want to make a quick post on an easy way for someone just starting out to get their feet wet and make some money online.

This method requires article marketing and is as simple as it gets.

First thing you need to do is get accepted into a cpa network. (Check around this forum on how to do that)

Now after you do that you're ready to start taking money making action.

Step 1 - Find a good converting pay per lead offer from you network. The easiest way to do this is to contact your affiliate manager.

Step 2 - Use the Google keyword tool to find keywords related to your niche with more than 1,000 searches per month. You want to try and get 20 to 30. The more the better.

Step 3 - Download seo quake for firefox.

Step 4 - Use Seo quake to determine the competition of the top 10 for each keyword you found from step 2. You want to look for sites like ezinearticles.com or any other web 2.0 property in the top 10. You also want to look for low PR and minimal links to the top 10 websites. (SEO Quake will tell you all of this right on your browser) This should narrow your list down to 10 or so.

Step 5 - Register a .info domain for $1.99

Step 6 - Redirect your website to your offer landing page.

Step 7 - Write 1 article for each of the keywords you have left after step 4. Make sure these articles are well thought out and have a good call to action at the end.

Step 8 - Submit your artciles to ezinearticles.com

Step 9 - After your articles are accepted you should start seeing some convertions AKA Money in the bank. If you write 10 articles you should start seeing money at this point. Usually when I do this I start makeing $10/day. Unfortunately this will die off in a week or so.

Step 10 - To keep the traffic going you have to build links to your articles and get them ranking in google. So step 10 is to build links to your articles. This can be done in a variety of ways, but I will tell you one simple way. And that is to do some simple blog commenting. This means you find related blogs and you leave a comment on a post and leave a link to your website in the designated field. To make these links stick make sure you think out your comment.

So there you have it. I know some people might read this and blow it off. Some might say they've heard it before. Some may say they don't understand it.

I know this isn't revolutionary information but it will put $10/day or $300 a month in your pocket if you just do it. Thats a car payment for some or maybe just some extra spending money so you can start living life on the weekends instead of being broke.

Remember do it today because tomorrow is not promised

Oh ya one more thing. I there is any technical questions you may have on this strategy just youtube it. I know it's a big secret but youtube is literally where I learned how to do every technical internet marketing related task.

    This is a solid method. However besides of promoting affiliate products, I haven't signed up with any CPA sites yet.

    Thanks.

    Where do you do your research to write the articles. Say if you choose a gift card offer, how would you come up with 20 to 30 articles on this?

      All you have to do is sign up with a CPA network. Market Leverage is the first one I signed up for and still use.

      Good question. The article topics are based off the keywords you find. And sometimes you have to think outside the box. For example lets say your promoting a $500 Best Buy gift card. The keywords you want to find should be specific product based. So for an article compare 2 HD TV's based off of reviews through amazon.

      No problem. I started with Market Leverage and still use them. They have good offers and never had a problem with payments. Also use offervault.com to find other offers and networks. It's free.

      That is true one can earn more in that time but you have to start somewhere. If you're not making any money this is a great place to start. Because the power of this strategy is not in you writing the articles yourself for the rest of your life. Once you make money start to outsource this whole process. This way you can triple your income and run this on autopilot practically. You have to look at the bigger picture here bisma.

      Also I state a very low profit level as to not hype anything up. I hate that.

      You can absolutely do this with clickbank. In this post I recommend Pay Per Lead offers because you don't have to worry about autoresponders and converting people into sales. Just get the lead and get paid.

        If you only want to make $10 then I would suggest Squidoo or Hubpages.
        It's free and you can easily create 2 lenses a day.

        Look in the top 100 to see what lenses preform well and copy their niche.

        Make 2 lenses a day for 2 weeks and you could even be making a small income of $50/month or more.

        THis is a great way to start out and I started like this. My first $800 online was from Squidoo where I built like 50+ lenses in 3 months.

        Outsourcing articles even cheaply usually costs around $5 per article so 10 articles would cost $50. Outsourcing the keyword research also and it will probably cost about $70 in total.

        If you do make $10/day, once it's died off in a week or so then you would have only just broke even. Im just wondering what is the best way to outsource this efficiently.

    Well I must say as you already said this is old story but it does not change the fact that it is old story that works. Whether you like it or not this method is one that almost never fails and it can even put more than $10 in your pockets if you are a good writer.

      CJ is a cpa network as far as I'm concerned. CPA just stands for Cost Per Action. They can be pay per lead, pay per sale or pay per free trial.

      If you're looking for clickthroughs then you can use adsense.

    With Ezine can you use subdomains in the resources box? I heard you can only use TLD. Does top level domain mean only like www.yourdomain.com or does that include subdomains also?

    Ezinearticles does get your article ranked highly on Google and quickly but then as more competition comes along the ranking of tghe article will fall lower down the page.

    Also rememer that there are many more article marketing sites to submit your articles to. The name ecapes me, but there is an article site Yahoo prefers more than Google. For this reason alone it is worth knowing how to rank in Yahoo.

    This seems actually pretty easy. Since I am new to CPA I am going to give this a shot. Thanks for the post.

    How has everyone done so far with this method? Don't tell me you've procrastinated. Ive written only 1 article so far and im waiting for Ezine to approve so 9 more to go.

    The hardest part seems to be the keyword research. A lot of keywords with at least 1000 searches either seem to have a lot of competition or the site's on page 1 have a high PR or a lot of backlinks but i'll stick at it.

    No subdomains allowed in EZA footers, in answer to someone's question. Got to be a TLD, come on, don't be such a cheapskate, .info is like $1.10 or something on Godaddy for the first year.

    I saw a few questions about CPA offers. Uhhh google it... then tube as he mentioned. Takes about 8 minutes to know the basics BTW I did the same thing he mentioned with adsense articles. I've done this for about 8 months and I make several hundred a month... in adsense.
