Make Easy Money Online Slowly

It is entirely possible to make easy money online if you go about it in the right way. No doubt you have all seen the adverts, “Make Money Fast” and “Get Rich in 7 Days” and so on, don’t believe it!

When I look at any sales page I read the first paragraph and if it says either one of those things I just hit the back button on the browser. I know it’s a con.

To make a good second income online, or indeed a great first income you will have to exercise some patience. There is no way to beat the system and maintain it.

The basis of any online earnings is to have a website that ranks on page one of Google and if you can crack that you are on your way. Many affiliate sites fail because they go too fast, they throw up a page and then hit the social book marks and article directories.

This is a basic error. Google will index your page without any backlinks at all within a few days. Why? Because it is new and hopefully fresh.

I think of it like a library, which it basically is, a new book comes in and it goes on to the nw book shelf at the front of the library.

After a while, this new book is replaced by newer books and so it goes into the library section with all the other books. After some time if that book is not checked out it will be taken out and replaced, but if it is asked for by visitors to the library it can go onto the “Popular Books” shelf at the front.

Google does the exact same thing. A new webpage may pop up on the first couple of pages (The new book shelf), as time goes on it gets replaced by newer web pages and so sinks down in the listings, but if it is requested by visitors (backlinks) it will again rise to the top.

In the case of Google, the algorythm by which it sorts all its pages will know when these requests are coming in. If it suddenly finds that there are hundreds of backlinks to a new page it becomes suspicious that someone is trying to game the system, poof! the page is de-indexed.

So, to make money online tread cautiously, by all means create a couple of backlinks, say, a press release or an article or two, but then hold off.

I normally leave a site to simmer for about 3 months before doing anything else and this gives the page time to settle into its place,  then I will start to build backlinks. This will look entirely natural and the page will not get penalised for gaming the system.

So, make money online slowly and it should last a long time.

How Can I Make Money Online?

Ok, the first decision you have to make is, how am I going to make money online?

Here I am talking about models, that is, your business model. There are almost as many ways to earn cash online as there are people but two of the best ones in my opinion are :

Authority sites: These are big websites with lots of pages covering a small niche in big detail. If you have a special interest, say, fishing, golf, steam engines you may be attracted to this way of doing things. It allows you to write about your hobby and if you can make money with your hobby it is a great way to go.

Wham Bang sites: A wham bang site is a small, perhaps only one page site. These are often referred to as mini-sites because they are very small and tightly focused. A wham bang site gets in, grabs the cash and gets out, sort of special forces style.

What type of model appeals to you?

An authority site will make you money but there are some cons as well as the big pro of writing about what you like. The biggest draw back is competition. If your hobby is golf or fishing you are going to be up against some fierce hurdles, these areas are saturated for the very good reason that golfers and anglers spend money. Marketers know this and have targeted it in their millions.

A wham bang site is a lot less fussy, generally faster to produce a income stream and is less work to produce. However, if you go the wham bang route you do have to be prepared to be continually researching keywords and looking for the next microniche to exploit.

Make no mistake there is always work to be done, make money overnight? No, it won’t happen. Make money over a few weeks, yes, it may well happen, but make money for no work? never happen.

Over the next few weeks I am going to look at how you and I can make money online and see if we can’t cut through the crap and find a way to make it a little easier. Most of what we will look at will be free and common sensical but a bit of cash laid out here and there can speed things up so I will point out a few of the tools I use.

Affiliate Marketing In 2010

Why 2010 Will Be A White
Knuckle Ride For Web Marketers

Next year may just prove to be one of the most challenging times for pursuing online or Internet marketing on the web. It may just be a watershed moment for many marketers struggling to keep abreast of all the different factors which have come into play in recent months. Most of these changes will stem from two main sources for potential upheaval: the first being the New FTC (Federal Trade Commission) Guidelines regarding Testimonials and Endorsements and the second being “ALL” the recent changes within Google.

Actually, we already have the new FTC Guidelines which came into effect on Dec. 1st of 2009, but how these new rules are enforced will play out in the coming year as test-cases are brought to court. Basically, these new rules call for absolute disclosure and full transparency regarding Testimonials and Endorsements when a product or service is being offered for sale. Any business (monetary) relationship between the endorser and the company must be made known to the potential buyer. Obviously for those in online or affiliate marketing this could have a great impact if these new rules are strictly enforced. Just imagine all the website owners and bloggers who slap a few banners or affiliate links on their sites to cover hosting or operating costs… will they now have to disclose all these business arrangements?

High PR One Way Permanent Backlinks!

For professional affiliate marketers and the companies/products they’re promoting, these new guidelines could cause potential headaches and/or legal ramifications since a general blanket disclaimer on their sites will no longer be suffice. To help solve this problem, many of the major companies are now placing an “affiliate” tag on all their banners and making it obvious a business relationship exists with its affiliates. In addition, many online marketers are placing additional disclaimers, affiliate seals and in other ways making it known certain links are indeed affiliate links and a relationship does exist with the product and/or services being promoted.

With these new guidelines, another big issue is email marketing, one of the major marketing techniques of most online marketers. Will a full disclosure be necessary for every email sales pitch? Savvy web marketers know the key to increased sales is in the “follow-up” and the “cookie-ing” of potential buyers; how will the new Guidelines affect this very effective marketing practice? How all these new rules or guidelines play out will make next year a very interesting one for marketing on the web.

Despite this, perhaps the greatest cause for upheaval in the coming year will be Google. There are countless reasons why Google will be a major game changer in 2010 for online marketing. Ever since Bing and more recently the potential Bing/Yahoo competition, Google has gone into complete overdrive, implementing new changes and debuting new programs like there was no tomorrow.

First, we have Google Caffeine which Google is introducing (full force) early in the new year. Google Caffeine, which is a major overhaul of its search engine, will no doubt cause many a marketer some sleepless nights as the total fall-out becomes evident. Other Google updates in the past (Florida Update comes readily to mind) have wreaked havoc on many top ranking sites, but this time Google is doing things a little differently and have even given webmasters a beta version of the new search engine. Still, rightly or wrongly, many online marketers are bracing themselves for the full impact of Caffeine. Will it mean smooth sailing or a stomach sickening roller-coaster ride for marketers and webmasters?

Second, we have the introduction of “Real Time” search which will be featured in Google’s SERPs. This will make the social media sites like Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace… much more important. Again, the implications for online marketers could be enormous since many can now reach the first page through a different route. Will it also mean more “Real Time” spam? But more importantly, will it mean a greater marketing opportunity for the online marketer who exploits it?

Top Positions in the Web’s Largest Article Directory

Third, we are seeing Google moving more and more towards “Visual Search” with the introduction of Google Goggles for mobile phones. Just take a picture and you get the Google results instantly – no typing, just point and click. Just envision countless clueless teenagers or more importantly helpless shoppers suddenly being empowered with knowledge and wisdom. Could do more for education since the invention of the printed word and the info-commercial combined. Talk about scary! But will the implications for web marketing be just as revolutionary and enlightening?

Fourth, Google has made it known through its spokesperson Matt Cutts, that site-loading times will be a ranking factor in the new improved Google. Also, proper and correct page coding will also be more important if you want your site to be at full advantage. Broken links will be a big “No-No”, while linking out to important related sites a big plus. All this is only logical, Google’s main product is and has always been its search results, anything which improves those results and provides a more pleasing experience for the Google user should be front and center. Obviously, one way for Google to stay on top, is to provide the best search results to its users.

Fifth, in order to please the end-user, Google is also moving more towards “Personalized Search” which will make SEO and ranking in the top spot for your chosen keywords a total nightmare for many professional SEOs and online marketers. If everyone can choose their own top results, isn’t SEO more or less, a lame duck? Again, the ramifications of personalized search will further play out in 2010, but will professional marketers like what they see?

Finally, while no one would argue Google is King of the Hill when it comes to online search, will all these new changes strengthen or weaken Google’s grip? Will the combined Bing/Yahoo be able to give this giant some much needed competition? Or will Google’s main competition come from an unlikely source, such as big name multi-national corporations who are moving their operations online. Can these big-name keyworded domains start directly pulling in the majority of the web’s traffic, making all search engines secondary? As people become more web savvy, will they go directly to what they’re looking for on the web, bypassing the search engines altogether – including the mighty Google? Such a scenario could have greater consequences for the affiliate marketer since a direct line to a company’s site or product will obviously mean less sales for the online marketer, who really works in coordination with the search engines, either through organic search or PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising in these same search engines.

Overall, the new FTC Guidelines and recent changes to Google, will make next year one of the most interesting times to be pitching anything online. Throw into this the full effect that a combined Bing/Yahoo might bring to the table, and you have the recipe for a tumultuous white knuckle ride, until the dust finally settles and marketers make adjustments like they always do. Until then, hold on because things will probably get a little hectic for many web marketers before we see the light at the end of the tunnel.
