Most common ways of making money online

25 replies
Hello warriors I'm pretty much a newbie to IM (1-2 months)
and i've read ways of making money online, so far i've heard of
CPA networks which are hard to get accepted to, affiliate programs (does anyone know any good ones for newbies?), niche sites which i don't fully understand so if anyone can explain you'd be my savior , some incentive marketing programs which generated me some leads but nothing past that, and of course google adsense but i'd first need a niche site if im correct. So if anyone would like to add to this list and if possible explain thoroughly you'd be greatly rewarded with my thanks

    You need to make a "business model" - Get an idea of who your target is, how you will reach them, how you will provide value to them, how to resell them, how to take payments, etc etc etc...

    Without having a solid idea of these things it is extremely difficult to not get lost among the noise in this industry, let alone succeed...

    Use the search function on the forum and READ. There are already dozens of threads that extensively answer all of your questions. Research your questions here before creating a thread. A little initiative on your part would be prudent as well.

    I think a good way to start is to build yourself a WordPress blog.

    Post regularly about the skills you are learning day by day and teach yourself how to drive some traffic to the blog.

    Once you have achieved that you could start looking at building a mailing list by giving away a free gift (eBook or Video) of value to your visitors.

    You could also monetize the blog with affiliate banners and adsense etc

    I think that's as good a place to start as any

      I think this is some good advice, I know that I would follow a blog of someone even if they were just a step ahead in the process so that I could learn from them and get motivation

    Multiple options available:

    1. Build list and become an affiliate marketer (bit easier)
    2. Create products and sell (big job, takes time to learn)
    3. Work as freelancer in freelancing sites (anyone can do)
    4. Fiverr (you are freeman. Do whatever you want there)
    5. Spend time in warrior forum. It'll help you decide what you want to do.

    You should focus on building a business. No matter what you do, or whatever income model you follow... make sure you market and sell to your backend customers.

    Niche sites are simply sites that cater to a certain niche. As an example, Health would be a market, and Tinnitus would be a niche. Internet Marketing would be a market and list building would be a niche.

    A lot of people choose their niches and then choose a product (some from Clickbank) to sell on the niche site. Some monetize with ads and Adsense, or you can create your own product to sell from a niche site if you know enough about the niche to write a product.

    I use a mixture of Google Ads, Amazon Affiliate and my own websites. Browse the WF and do some research and try out a few things till you find what works for you. I've learned there is not really anyway to make fast money when just starting out as I went down that road and brought things that claimed it would make me a lot of money. I learned a lot through trial and error when I was new to IM, sometimes it was a hard learned lesson.

    There are a number of legitimate business models to make money online. Two of the most common are niche blogging via affiliate marketing and ghostwriting. Niche blogging is the most common of all and is when you create a blog around a profitable niche like dating, weight loss, make money....and have product reviews and articles on stuff related to your niche. It's also common practice to build a list using this model.

    Adsense and CPA (cost-per-action) both use the same blogging idea pretty much. The only difference is what you are actually promoting on said site. Adsense is the simplest to use for newbies, but it pays really cheaply, Cost-Per-Action marketing is another simple way to make money online because you make money by getting people to put in info like their names and e-mail addresses.

    Ghostwriting is where you do research and write content for other marketers. Marketers are always on the look out for high-quality content. The benefits of this model are that you get paid via Paypal and even can get paid in full or in part upfront. This typically requires less of a learning curve because lots of people already have many of the skills they will need to make this work. I hope this helps some.

    I am an affiliate marketer. I make a great income growing a list of leads (EMAIL ADDRESSES) and I promote offers to the list. I earn 4 to 5 figures each week/month.

    I suggest you buy a product that will show you how to do it and put that into action and make some money. I have tried everything and affiliate marketing is my #1 source of income. Never thought I would say that either.

    Wish you the best of luck.

    CPA networks may take some time and effort to be accepted into. Adsense terms and conditions may not be friendly towards newbies. Amazon Associates, in my opinion would be the easiest affiliate program to start with. You can start reviewing a few popular niche products from Amazon and put them up on a Wordpress blog with your affiliate links in them.

    Things that you may need to be familiar with and may need to learn may be as follows:

    -to build a Wordpress blog
    -How to write product reviews
    -How to drive traffic to your site

    A good way of getting some ideas before bilding your site is by doing a Google search for "niche" + reviews and clicking on "Blogs" on the left hand side of the page (click on More beneath Web, Images, Maps, Videos and News). For example if you do a search for "toaster reviews" you get a page full of results, most of them Amazon affiliate review blogs.

    For driving traffic you may write articles pertaining to your niche and submit them to ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com. Also, post links to your article with a short note on Facebook and Twitter.

    This is just a short brief and obviously there is more to it which you may need to look up. Use the Search feature on top of the page including the Advanced Search to look for more information. If you have questions on what you cannot locate you can post them and someone will answer them for you.

      Well, there are various ways to do so, but one quick and easy way is by displaying ads. And for that you need Google Adsense, in the words of Google itself. Google AdSense is a free program that empowers online publishers to earn revenue by displaying relevant ads on a wide variety of online content.

    Hi, I try here with a moneymaking Idea. Please read and extend your reply. Online business has many sectors. One of those which have been hassle free would be better to us. By explaining my experience, I like to suggest you an idea on making money online. There are sites who deal with reselling, I have gone through a search and find a reseller named goresellers.com where I bought a site deals with domain name registration, hosting, SEO and etc., my job is to promote my site which has been powered by the reseller site I mentioned above. By developing customer base there in my site I would be paid by my reseller login (where I bought my site). By doing online marketing, I have been getting visitors to my site and making sales closed. The admitted services to my customer will be done by the reseller site and I would be paid from the reseller for the sales I closed

    There are multiple ways to build a solid income online. My favorite is building a list of email subscribers, create a relationship with them and sell them information products. The profits are great and it's scalable. This is my personal favorite, however there are other marketers making pretty good income doing Adsense sites and CPA marketing, it's all about what you like personally and what you feel comfortable.
