Many of you can make money online and don't know it

I just got done reading an old ebook I use to market back in 2007-2008.

Was I anything close to a success back then?

No!

I did not practice the things I was preaching in the ebook and made all the classic mistakes most newbies make.

I knew what to do but I did not do it! I instead went from idea to idea all the time.

However whats funny is reading the ebook today it's actually really good and most of what I wrote, was sound advice.

This brings me to my point.

If you have been here on the warrior forum for a considerable length of time, you already have all the knowledge you need to make money online.

If you go around on the forums repeating what the more experienced members always tell us, things like :

  • Stick to one method
  • Make your first dollar and scale it up
  • Get targetted traffic
  • etc etc
then it's time to stop reading, stop buying products and get to work!

You need an offer and targeted traffic it's that simple.

The offer can be a CB or amazon product, your own ebook or adsense/cpa ads it doesnt matter, they'll all make you money if you get the traffic to them.

Targeted traffic? No problem.

If you want free, write articles and focus on seo, its a easy way to start off.

Don't write 1 article per day. Are you serious about this or not?! Write as many as you can! Somedays you wont want to work, that's fine take a break but keep going and don't quit completely. (IM is a long term game of consistent action)

Yes quality counts, but quantity counts even more. You could have 10 of the best articles - perfectly written, but in most cases having X2, X3 etc will do you much better.

You can search for keywords to target here Google.

Target buying keywords not info ones. Type your niche plus "buy" "for sale" "reviews" "cheap" etc and start writing! Don't listen to people saying only target words that get 1000+ monthly searches, thats rubbish! I target many that only get 50-100. Since they are buying keywords, it makes it well worth it and you won't need to spend much time getting backlinks.

Do some pinging, ping.fm and Ping-o-Matic! and later on submit to Ezine Articles (I get a good amount of traffic from this directory)

and you're set!

Yes you can do more backlinking or focus on youtube/forum traffic if you wish but you don't need to, the money will come in time and articles and seo is basically guaranteed.

Heck I've made adsense blogs and gotten clicks a few days after. I mean a completely new site. It's so easy to make money it makes me sick it took me 6 years for things to click and for me to start doing what I should do.

Remember make a site with an offer and drive targeted traffic to it, that's it!

I don't want to go too deep in specifics as this is more a motivational post. And I do want to say, I'm not perfect, nobody is. I could do a lot more work than I currently do, but compared to 2 years ago, I've come up leaps and bounds and I know you can too.

Please get your finger out your ass, your eyes off the forum and put your wallet back in your pocket

You probably already know what you should be doing, so now just do it.

      I like your bullet points the best...it is so easy to get side tracked as a newbie and jump from method to method always chasing the next great idea before even developing the idea your on......in real estate they say location, location, location....in IM it is should be FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS.

    This is all so true. It's easy to make money online once you know what to do. Many newbies want to make money online so they browse the forums or buy a report on how to do it but they don't take action or they think it is to much work so they want to find something to make it easier or quicker, so they spend more time on the forums and buy another report and then the next one, so they spend ALL their time reading about what to do.

    What they need to realise is to make money online takes time and work, so instead of spending all your time reading about what to do, actually use the information you have already read and do something with it, and guess what you WILL be making money.

    A couple of the 2 most important points when it comes to building a successful business. People go around chasing easy buttons which leads to this business being hard.

    All you need to do is the work and this business becomes easy.

    Very well written post. Now did you write the ebook that you are talking about or were you just promoting the ebook... I lost your trail somewhere. however, you are right on with your suggestions. Thanks for the well meaning post
    I was just re-reading Google domination and realized that you need to write a lot of content to get the level of traffic you need on the Internet..

    Article marketing is the most cost effective way but it is work intensive. Even with the rewriters and submitters, it still requires a lot of work. Bit, the results are extraordinary

      It was my own product, a series of interviews about traffic. So I wrote my own responses obviously and did the marketing.

      Absolutely. Article marketing is my favorite method of traffic I have come across so far and once you start earning a few hundred bucks a month you can outsource it all and then outsource more and more as months go by.

      Yes it generally is a lot of work but I mean anyone could make a full time income in a 6months-12months if they worked their ass off and wrote 10 articles a day... so its still a good deal in the end as apposed to having a job for decades.

        Nice post Ernie. I Have pretty much just started writing articles to drive my first bit of traffic to my site. At the moment the writing goes very slow but I know it will improve and become more of a skill to me as I practice it.

          Thanks David.

          Write a everyday if you and don't look up for at least 3-4 months.

          Should you make some money before then?

          Yes.

          However don't get discouraged if it's not a lot, as there will come a point when all the forces pull together at once and your profit increases heavily

          It just takes time for things to settle

    I think another key to article marketing is to pick a good niche.

    Some niches are SO saturated with crap on EZA- I'm thinking weight loss and IM.

    But if you go into an unsaturated niche, you can hit #1 on Google with NO backlinks and a short article.

    For example, Ive had a few articles in the Farmville/Cafe World niches hit #1 in Google with <300 word articles.

    Just gotta find the right keywords!

    Some people are just scared to take action. The most important thing here is dont just plan, work! This is enough motivation for everyone and Im glad you did this.

      Hey just checking in to say my first ezine article got approved (after about 7 days I think). They made me an expert author straight away which is pretty cool
      I've written 10 articles now (yes it probably took me a lot longer then it should've but hey at least I did it), just gotta submit them and see how it goes. Hopefully I can check back in soon again saying I've made my first buck.
