So Many Ways to Make Money Online

There are so many ways to make money online.  No wonder the newbie internet marketer often just gives up, it's mind blowing.  I know I myself got so overwhelmed when I began about 3 years ago.  I fell for many many make money at home programs that just weren't really making me any money.  What I am talking about is the standard hyped up programs that promise you riches almost over night.  I didn't succeed with these programs though because I think I just didn't feel passionate about them.  I lost a lot of money.

I do affiliate marketing, but my eyes lately are being opened to many new ways to make money online.  Just a few weeks ago, I needed some fast cash that I could get my hands on pretty quick and didn't want to wait on my payouts on clickbank.  On a whim, I posted a beta testing opportunity to teach others how to do what I do and work from home in your pajamas if you wish.  Wow!  I charged $97 bucks per person and sent out a lesson a day via email.  I had 6 new students within 24 hours.  That's almost $600, not bad.

This is now turning into another stream of income.  I will run one more beta testing and put it all together in pdf or video format and market it.  I will also make it available for affiliates once I tweak it out.  If you are a newbie and would like to be my guinea pig for $97.00 great.  You can send me a message.

The ways to make money online are unlimited.  I know some who make money with Amazon alone.  I know another that writes these short ebooks and published them on Amazon.  I too have a few books on Amazon.  My good friend has a book that he sells there for 99 cents a pop, yet makes about 3000 per month on this one little book.

I have another virtual friend who just writes articles and uses a spinner and submitter software.  He does this for others and charges for the service.  He has more than made up for the cost he spent on this software over and over again.

My next venture is something I found out about today.  It's flipping websites.  Very similiar to flipping houses, but so much easier.   This is something you can do to earn good money in a little as 24 hours.  I trust this as it is endorsed by Jenifer, the pot pie girl.  You can check it out here.  

Speaking of Pot Pie Girl, she is the one that got me into all of this.  I bought her product after many failed attempts at making money.  I implemented it and yes, I did begin to make money via Squidoo.  Squidoo is still my favorite marketing platform, it is so easy.  I did not get rich overnight and I am still not rich yet, but yes I am finally living comfortably.

Below is my recent earnings from Just One of my 27 squidoo lens.  You can learn how to use Squidoo to make money here, but warning, it's addicting!

How I Make Money Without a Website

I am not going to lie to you, I did spend $3.99 for a domain name. I am not really even sure exactly what a domain name is, all I know is to put a link in an article, I have to have one. Direct affiliate links are not allowed on most article directories. I like Ezine Articles, in my opinion it is one of the best if not the best. Ezine does not allow direct affiliate links, so a domain name is the way around that. There are thousands of others out there though not as strict.

Step one in Bum Marketing is to sign up with ClickBank, which is a marketplace where thousands of digital products are available for you to sell for a profit. Sign up is easy and ClickBank is one of the most trusted and reliable affiliate sites out there with thousands and thousands of products to choose from.

Step two in Bum Marketing I searched ClickBank's marketplace for a product that I know something about such as dating or getting over a broken heart. You can find about anything under the sun there though. Even how to build a chicken coup. I push one little key and get a link that is unique to me. I can post this link anywhere on the web for the most part and anyone who clicks on it and buys, the profit goes straight to me.

Step three in Bum Marketing, I purchase a domain name similar to the product and what I am selling. I use GoDaddy, but there are thousands of places out there like this. I could use a.com domain, but that cost more, about 12 bucks so I opt for the.us and pay $3.99. I then forward the link to the domain name.

Step four in Bum Marketing, I write the article giving useful information that will benefit my reader like hopefully this article is doing for some newbie to affiliate marketing. I post my link, aka domain name at the end of the article and in the bio box. It takes about 48 hours but the article goes live on the web. Some articles do better than others, again I am not going to lie about that. The good news though is the article is there forever. It's residual income.

I rinse and repeat, thus creating multiple income streams for numerous products, again, some do better than others. It's trial and error, and you won't get rich overnight. It takes patience and it's easy to get side tracked once you start because you will realize there are so many ways to make money with affiliate marketing once you start understanding it.

I am writing this article in hopes on inspiring a newbie out there not to give up, I almost did. It does work, it is possible and don't let anyone tell you it isn't. I am living proof. My first sale was about $21 bucks, but I kept going. No I am not rich, YET. After a few sales I did invest more money later to help with my learning curve, less than $50 bucks for a guide written by the pot pie girl. Sounds crazy doesn't it, the pot pie girl. Best $50 bucks I ever spent but you don't have to spend a dime really to make money with affiliate marketing, a Bum could go to the library and do it.

Here is my domain name with my link and the $50 bucks I spent. www.oneweekmarketing.us
