Number One Tip To Making Money Online

    Treat it like a business

    There it is folks, most people tend to cut corners when it comes to marketing online due to the fact that because it is the internet there must a super quick way. Maybe it's just our mindset?

    But if you can offer CUSTOMER SERVICE, QUALITY CONTENT, PLUS AMAZING ETHICAL OFFERS, then not only will you make a lot of cash but you will be able to sleep soundly knowing you are making a difference to someone's life. Hardly EVER go for the first time sale before building A RELATIONSHIP.

    If you adapt this forumla then you will also get REPEAT BUYERS...who are worth their weight in gold.

    Become your favourite grocery store in whatever niche you are online and the success will come.

    :D

    Agree, but most marketers don't think about it because they hope only profits.

    Agree, I would say over 90% of people who enter internet marketing enter it with the wrong mindset...and thus give up when their expectations aren't fullfilled

    "I haven't made a $100 after a week! This is such a scam!!"

    Seriously I would take (& have done) months of just two or three sales if I knew I was going in the right DIRECTION...

    The sad thing is most people who take up internet marketing desperately need to make money quickly and that leads to knowledge gaps, confusion, frustration and ultimately....failure

    Completely agree.

    I read a cool quote from Armand Morin: "Here's the difference between you and me -- you're looking to make millions; I'm only looking to make $300."

    Completely agree with this. But not many people know how to run a business or understand the mindset needed to run one.

    Indeed, we should focus on providing answers and solutions to people, and not on selling them something. That's the key of success.

    You know I fully agree. User experience is key.
    Look how all major search engines have monetized that.

    Good content, good customer service, and a good backlinking strategie
    combined with good copywriting will do wonders for you!

    I agree with Giancarlo, I don't want to be the few (I hope) guys counting “units sold” I rather be counting - “lives helped by my product'.

    I do not see business as a game to see how much money that can be gotten out of the “suckers” as some marketers do.

    Because those suckers happen to have real families and real problems that want real solutions and are willing to pay for it.

    Not trying to be high and mighty here. Just think a real exchange of value is what business is about.

    Another good tips is to learn Adwords first. There many quality products you can use.

    be consistent - if you are working on it - you are probably on the verge of making money

    Customer service is really important in terms of getting repeat customers no matter whether we are offering free or paid service to customers we must be committed and sincere in making the customers feel comfortable then they will grow your business :)
    Completely agreed Helpingnewbies.

    Totally agree with you and this is exactly what I am building
    right now since I think it is a factor that pretty much every
    'make money online' website do not emphasis as much as I
    would.

    Pretty nice advice there!

    I say the number one tip for making money online is being able to influence people into buying or taking action

    the rest is just follow through and professionalism

    I think you have the number one tip with one caveat. DON'T GIVE UP! Lots of business decided they have to close shop, give-up, whatever... If you ever get down and stop building, writing, advertising, etc.. you'll be dead. Not giving up is just as important as treating this like a real business.

    I'm going to agree with this topic. The number one thing in every business is establishing relationships with not only your clients, but also those closest to you. Networking is the "key" to every success story, and it all starts with Building Relationships

    Everyone should see this, regardless of whether you're selling a product or not, you will always be selling yourself

    Excellent post.

    It hit me in the head actually. Silly me. Perhaps I should rethink my strategy more and tune it up a bit, to treat it like it is my primary business. I do manage a web design and development business.

    :)
