Essentially
there are 5 tremendously powerful methods to make money online. These
methods were not always available but have only become available due to
the large amount of internet commerce being conducted each and every
day online. While it is possible to make money, and lots of it, using
other methods, these are in my opinion the best for 3 reasons. First,
they are some of the cheapest methods around. Imagine running a
business for an entire year where your total cost was less than $1 a
day. Secondly, these methods are fast to implement. Some of the methods
can have you up and running in hours, if not only a day or two. Lastly,
these ideas are simple. When it comes to working online, simpler is
better and complex is dead.
The 5 Best Money Making Ideas.
ONE. Making Money the Google Cash Way.
Google
Cash is a term coined by Chris Carpenter. In his amazing
ebook, he teaches you how to start a profitable advertising business by
using Google Adwords to promote products to people using the Google
search engine. The strategy is simple. You create ads to attract
interested people. When they click on your ad you are charged for that
click. The visitor is directed to your site where you can sell them
your product or someone else's. The advantage is you get to leverage
the Google traffic. You can purchase clicks for as low as 5 cents.
Lastly, done properly, you can test dozens of different ads and
campaigns allowing you to perfect your selling system.
TWO. Making tons of money selling someone else's
stuff.
Affiliate marketing is the manner in which you market a product for
someone else, known as the merchant. In return for providing a
qualified buyer, the merchant agrees to pay you a commission. The
beauty of this type of business is that you can take advantage of hot
products, you can easily create a large cash flow by setting up dozens
of small income streams promoting hundreds of products. In other words,
the business is scalable. Once you learn to make money selling a
product for one merchant, you can reproduce that for another. For this
to work, the critical step that you need to master is getting traffic.
An absolute master, who I consider the king of the affiliate business
is James
Martell. He is the author of The Affiliate Marketing Handbook
(newly revised for 2005). James has hundreds of income streams and can
teach anyone how to promote and sell products for merchants online.
THREE. Turn Treasure into Dollars with eBay.
In case this is your first week using the internet, I will briefly
explain eBay. They are the world's largest online auction system.
People from all over the world, lots of people, using it each and ever
day to sell everything from toasters to Hummers. In order to make
money on eBay, you research what is selling at the moment,
source that product for at great price and then start creating
auctions. Of course, that all sounds easy, but the truth is there is a
lot of work involved, especially if you have to ship all those products
from your house. If you are organized, can research or can use the
software to do that research for you, and can negotiate with suppliers
than you can really make money with eBay.
FOUR. Drop Ship It.
The thought of storing boxes and boxes of products at your house may
have you running away from eBay. Thank goodness there is something
called Drop Shipping. A drop shipper is a wholesaler who will sell you
their products at near wholesale prices and ship them directly to your
customer. World
Wide Brands maintains a directory of wholesaler and drop
shipping companies giving you access to over 2 million products to sell
on eBay. The good news is that once you have access to your own
products, you can now use the first three methods to market them. Do
you see the power now? Maybe you used the first two methods to market
someone else's product. Now you can get a better profit margin by drop
shipping your own products using these same methods.
FIVE. Write yourself rich.
The first 4 methods involved selling someone else's products for a
commission or profit margin. If you want to make the most money, you
have to produce and sell your own products. An exceptional item to sell
online is information. In particular, ebooks, software, audio and video
products have incredible profit margins. But, you think, you have no
writing skills. What are you to do? Easy, hire people to do the work
for you. This is an amazing way to leverage the skills of someone else.
Pretend you have an idea for a new software program. There is a site
online called Rent
a Coder where you can hire people to work for you. Depending
on your product idea, you can get the software coded for $100, $200,
maybe even $300. Then the product is yours to resell. You can keep 100%
of the profits. You can do the same thing writing a book. Steve Manning
offers a free course that will teach you how
to write a book in as little as 14 days. I know that sounds
to good to be true but it can be done. Most of Steve's students take
longer than that on the first book but many admit that they can do it
faster by preparing better at the beginning.
