Being a newbie in the world of online money making can be extremely confusing. Because there's not just one way to make money, there are tons of ways.

Newbies hear all sorts of success stories which make everything look so easy but that's not always the case. Especially when they don't know where to start. Anyway in this post I will outline the main money making methods used to earn money from the internet. I won't however go into any detail, I'll just say what's what. You can learn each method in detail by searching here in the Warrior Forum. It's best to pick just one and get good at it. Then later as you get more experienced you can mix and match as you wish.

Warriors, feel free to add any methods which I haven't mentioned, this could become a good resource for putting newbies on track.

Okay let's kick this off:

1) Affiliate Marketing:

This involves selling other peoples products and getting commission for the sales you generate.

Pros: You don't need your own product.

Cons: Steep learning curve, a lot of testing and tweaking is required.



2) Selling Your Own Product.

This can be an eBook, software product, a course etc.

Pros: You can expect good sales if you have a good product and have affiliates promoting your product.

Cons: It can be difficult coming up with your own product.


3) Providing A Service:

If you're good at something you can sell your services. Examples, logo design, writing, programming, problem solving etc.

Pros: Quick way to earn money, can become your long term online business.

Cons: Can be difficult to find clients initially, not very easy to scale up the earning.


4) Selling Phyical Goods:

This involves buying wholesale stocks and selling on your site or sites like eBay.

Pros: Everyone buys hot products.

Cons: A lot of investment required. Stock can be difficult to manage.


5) Flipping:

By "flipping" I mean creating (or buying) something with the intention to sell it later for profit. Like domain names and websites (or templates).

Pros: Not too difficult to do.

Cons: Profit can be low, lot of competition.


If you decide to do affiliate marketing, I have some great looking landing pages for you.

I'll leave it there, I hope that helps.

Please feel free to add more.

Thanks,

    6) Selling advertising

    Building a website about something you are interested in and selling ad space, whether it be text links or G ads.

    Pros: No experience needed. It's easy to create content about things your interested in.

    Cons: It's usually more time consuming than it's worth in ad space. OR You have you spend a lot of time building links and such to make a good profit.

      I'd like to add some information in depth that newbies can always refer to if they want to start making money online.


      Top Five Ways To Make Money Online:

      Number #5. Surveys: I can hear the groans already; yes there are a lot of unscrupulous people out there who wish to part you from your money with promises of untold wealth just for answering a few survey questions. What I'd say on this is you're unlikely to earn an income that could replace your current salary; however there is money to be made if you work with the right companies. Just don't expect to make a fortune.


      Number #4. eBay: Making a living from buying and selling on eBay is still a very popular idea, if done correctly it can earn you a very handsome living indeed. The key to making money on eBay is to either sell niche products that aren't easily available elsewhere or to have better priced products than everyone else. It's all about stock, finding the best suppliers, knowing what sells and offering the keenest prices to your customers. If you can do that you're certainly on to a winner.


      Number #3. Affiliate Marketing: If you're looking to sell products online but don't have any of your own affiliate marketing could be the answer. There are many companies who will pay you a commission for marketing their products. For every product that sells as a result of your marketing efforts you will receive a payment. Just type affiliate into Google, you won't be stuck for products to market. Companies like Clickbank are good for digital products, basically information products that are downloaded to the buyers PC.


      Affiliate marketing is a science and can so easily go wrong though. Don't expect to put an ad on Google and just wait to see the cash pour in, it doesn't work like that unfortunately. You'll need to invest some time and energy into learning how it all works; there are plenty of courses online. Once mastered the potential to earn an incredible income is very possible with many people making six figure annual salaries.


      Number #2. Information Publishing: I've kind of already touched on this subject already but this is slightly different. If you're good at writing you could do well selling information products online. Rather than sell other peoples products for a commission you could easily create your own and bank all the profits, with many people charging up to and beyond £100 per product you can easily see how much money there is to be made. Have a look at what other people are selling online for ideas but the best categories are things like how to make money, lose weight, basically anything that can improve a persons life will do well. Again, it is a subject that requires you to invest time and effort to learn but once mastered can lead to some serious profits.


      Number #1. Online Network Marketing: A seriously profitable business and one that has taken many from their nine to five jobs to six figure salaries and beyond. You may have come across this before and not taken it seriously or understood the true potential. Maybe you haven't got a clue what I'm on about, either way please read on. You could try to sell many products online for small profits each time and see a large portion of the profit you do make go into advertising, or you could get involved with high ticket sales. This is a business that can pay you over $2000 per sale. You can see how the potential to earn an incredible income is highly possible. There are a number of companies online to choose from, it's a question of research to find which one suits you. The key points to look out for are:


      * How does the compensation plan work?
      * What training is provided?
      * What is the product? (a good product is essential)
      * How successful is the company?


      You need to do your due diligence in order to determine who you should be working with, that's the company and the person you join under but this is definitely a business that can take you as far as you want to go.


      All the best.

    I just want to say this: These guys put out a nice list of things to do..

    But remember, its takes skill, determination and effort from your part to actually get success. The only thing is, the same effort that you put for your employer previously that goes to build HIS wealth, now you;re putting that effort to build your OWN wealth.

    Article Marketing

    This can be part of your affiliate marketing or for brining traffic to your site. You write articles on your niche and submit them to article directories. This creates backlinks for your site/affiliate page to help you rank in the search engines and also gets you traffic directly from the article directories.

    Pros: Free to do, results can be great, good long term traffic strategy.

    Cons: Writing and submitting articles can become tedious.



    Thanks,

        What I mean is when someone is new to internet marketing, they get confused on where to start. Because there are many options to start with. Therefore I created this thread to very briefly outline the main internet marketing methods.

        Thanks,
