Hi all! I'm an absolute beginner to Internet marketing. Could u please advise me of the best & easiest way to begin making some money. I know it's a very broad subject, but should I start with affiliate marketing, ebooks, etc? Your help would be gratefully received clarkyp
I suggest you search this forum first. Theres about 30 million posts on here about how to make money online easily. Dont want to do that? Go to clickbank.com, sign up as an affiliate. Choose a product you're interested in, write articles on that subject, submit them to ezinearticles.com. Then, buy a cheap .info domain, setup a blog on that domain, and put all of your articles on there, as well as some articles that pre-sell whatever youre promoting. Also put up some reviews of that product. If you do this well, you'll make some money. Or if you're lazy, just redirect that domain to the hoplink you got from clickbank. Hope that helps.
One thing I can say and most important thing you can start focusing on as a complete newbie is building your list. I went around that one for months, but when I focused on it income came with it.
While there is a ton of info here, it would take you a couple of years to figure out where to start, what to do next, who to believe etc. It would be better and quicker for you to find someplace that teaches you step by step and keeps up with the latest changes. Check out my sig and see if that helps you any. Good luck!!
Learn PPC and landing page optimization - watch this webinar about landing page optimization and learn PPC from the Google AdWords tutorial. Then join an affiliate program and start to 'solve people's problems'.
Well,definitely broad topic.I think you'd better get some idea first.If you are even not clear on what you want to do,who can help you?Though there're many ideas which may bring you money,it doesn't mean that they are suitable to you.Therefore,try to find some ideas yourself and then you can ask advice here.
Contrary to many poeple's testimonials, making money on the internet is not easy. Just like any job, you will have to do work. Lots of work. I suggest searching this site for people who have a good reputation and post their ways for making a good income online. Follow their advise and you can surely count on success. One thing you should do is spend money on web hosting and a domain name. By doing this you will be able to sign up with many affiliates who can pay you for leads. A good webhost can be bought for as little as $5 a month.
I would recommend reading up on affiliate marketing first and foremost. There is a lot of money to be made, but there's more money to be lost. Find a good ad-serving network (Adsdaq, Adbrite, Burst, etc...), and do some math. Affiliate marketing works best if you have money to test ads with. Find a few verticals that you are interested in, do some research (keywords, traffic, SEO Value, etc..). Go to oDigger.com and find Affiliate companies that sell the products that you're interested in, and sign up. A good affiliate network will make you jump through hoops to become active, because they want to make sure that you're not wasting their time. You also have to understand the data that you'll be relying on. CTRs, CPM, CPA, PPC, Conversion Rates, Impressions, Tracking Pixels, Landing pages, Conversion Pages, and that's not even the beginning. You'll need good tracking software to manage several campaigns across several networks at once. You admit that you're a noob, so definitely make sure you do not make quick decisions. Just study up for a while, and you'll know exactly where to begin. The fact that you have to ask where to begin is proof that you are no ready for affiliate marketing.
I would start with doing Affiliate Marketing - since you are new stay away from PPC til you get the hang of things you could lose a lot of money. Best of Luck
Well one thing is for sure. Never go for the "quick fix". There is rarely anthing called easy money. Don't let peoplpe trick your money out of you, believing you'll get the world in return.
I being doing a lot of research & i think best way to start is with Affiliate Marketing.I have learn there you can make alot on money online but it will take Time,Action & Research. Good Luck to you.
