1. Selling products.

2. Referring products. (Affiliate)

In order to have access to above ways you need to have account(s). Normal account for selling products and affiliate account for referring products.

I’m not going to give instructions on how to create accounts in Amazon and eBay because it is quiet self explanatory.

Let’s start by discussing on how to make money with Amazon and eBay by selling products.

Selling products

eBay

As I mentioned before the first thing you need to do is to have an account in order to be able to sell products.

Step #1 – Create an account

So the first step is to create an account. This can be done by clicking here.

Step #2 – Login to your account

Once you have an account, now you need to login to your account. So go and login.

Step #3 – Locate Sell button

 Now that you have logged in your account, look at the top right corner and you will see buttons.

Step #4 – Select Sell an item

Now it’s time to select option to sell an item. Click it. Once you have done it then you will be directed to following page where you see following section. Click “Start Selling”.

Then you will be directed to following page where are asked necessary information. Fill them and follow the instructions.

Amazon

This is done just like in eBay. So you need first to create an account and then login. Once you have loged into your account, you will see following box on the right side of your login page.

Now you need to click “Sell Your Stuff” button.  Once this is done you have to search for that specific product that you want to sell. To do that you will find following box and you need to choose category and title or keyword. Once that is done you need to click “Start Selling” button. If you have your book and it’s ISBN number you can add it in “Search by ISBN…” box then it would be easier to find.

Now I typed “Cook Book” for example. You will see following page. Now you need to find that book that you want to sell and click “Sells yours here”.

Now it is time to describe your book condition. Fill all required information and hit “Continue”. Once this is done you will come to Price page. There you have to set the price, quantity and shipping method.

Then you need to click “Continue” once done. Final step is to confirm your listing.

Referring Products

Now eBay has new program for publishers. It is a program where you can make money by bringing high quality traffic that will click on eBay sites.  For more information please click here.

What kind of team is dream affiliate team?

This is first thing that we need to know. Basically dream affiliate team consists from affiliates that are working together on achieving some goal in order to make money and maximizing revenues of each affiliate.

Dream affiliate team is a team where affiliates are not only business partners but also good friends to each other. Friendship value will grow up when working together for longer time like normal friendship.

Very important part in dream affiliate team is to have trust and work together by sharing all tasks problems if possible that would be solved and all ideas. Every affiliate should be able to take part in all possible meetings that is held by the team. Team should also come along with all decisions.

Dream affiliate team is also team that has different abilities in different fields. Especially experience in different fields will help so much. At least one or each one in the team or at least it is recommended to have following things:

• Long experience in affiliate marketing
• Good copywriting skills
• Good contacts to other people
• How to outsource people when required
• How to create website
• Search Engine Optimization
• How to make different researches (niches, marketing, etc.)
• How to track and analyze campaigns and results

So try to find at least following people:

• Copywriters
• Experienced affiliates
• Experienced website makers
• Search engine optimizers

How to find right people?

There are lots of ways to find right people but the question is how to find them? First of all it is not always easy to find them. Secondly you need to know places where you can find them. Third you need to know that it might take little bit time to find right people.

So how to find them? Well, one of the best places are forums. One that I highly recommend is Warrior Forum. There are lots of highly experienced people in internet marketing. There are members who have all kind of experiences and all you have to do is to ask people to make work together or tell them that you want to have team that work together and take all interested and highly skilled people into your team.

Other way to find right people is to look from different websites that are related to internet marketing by contacting them. This is quiet difficult method to get people but you can try it.

Third way is to try finding people from social networks like Facebook, Myspace or Hi5. Join to internet marketing groups there and post some message where you tell to people that you are looking for particular people who have same interest.

There are other ways but those are ones that you should consider when you want to find right people.

What is the next step?

After you have gathered your time it is important to have meeting either in live or by some meeting software like Skype or if you want to have it online then good way is to open webinar for those specific people.

It is very important that each one introduces own self and establish good relationship with each other. Also you need to remember that you have the same purpose and that you will come along in business and decisions and ideas.

Another thing that you need to remember is that each of you needs to have primary or business contact details of each one.

Conclusion

Building dream affiliate team is worth of doing. You will get lots of experiences from other members of your team. Finding right people might be difficult sometimes but it is worth of looking. You will not only make business partners but also get new friends that might be quiet close to you in the future and in the best case you might even get into the event where you want to establish own affiliate or internet marketing company.

Today we are going to cover the way on how to make money online by using CPA Networks. For those who doesn’t know what’s CPA, here’s brief explanation. CPA comes from words Cost-Per-Acquisition or Cost-Per-Action. It means whenever someone takes an action you will get commission. Usually that kind of action is when visitor come to your site and fill required information. That information is usually name and email but it can be more than those. This is also called Lead. Here’s how CPA works:

1. Join to CPA Network and get accepted.
2. Pick your offer that you want to promote.
3. Build your mini-site.
4. Drive traffic to your mini-site.
5. Watch how money rolls in when visitors take action.

It sounds very simple and it is. It is also very effective way to earn money. For people who have tried so many different methods to earn money online but have failed then I highly recommend to at least try this method.

Most crucial and difficult part is when you apply. There are lots of CPA Networks that are very strict with their publishers and they want to know lots of information about publisher. Reason is that they want to make sure that publisher is not fake and also they want to prevent fraud. To success in this they will call you by phone.

Here is couple of things that I want to point out about CPA.

Driving Traffic from Adwords

This is dead trap for publishers who want to send directly traffic to their CPA offer(s). When you do this 99% sure is that you will be banned and deleted from your CPA Networks.

Be Prepared for Phone Conversation

When your application will be accepted your probably your CPA Network will contact you by phone to make sure that you are the person who applied for their network and that you have provided correct information.

When you get into this phase, be honest to your affiliate manager who will have an interview with you. Ask clearly to every question he/she ask and if you are international publisher speak slowly so that conversation can be advanced slowly which will be easy to understand.

Build Your Mini-Site

This is very important part when starting to use CPA networks to earn money. If you don’t know how to do this then you can hire someone to do it for you. Places where you can hire is for example GetAFreeLancer or ScriptLance.

You need also own web hosting and domain name unless you have them already. So don’t forget them.

CPA Networks

Here is listed some recommended CPA Networks.

• Neverblue
• Azoogle
• ClixGalore
• Adquotient
• CJ.com
• Affiliate.com

• Reading emails
• Surfing internet
• Taking surveys
• Driving a car
• Shopping
• Clicking ads
• Etc.

That list can go on and on. I remember when I was very happy to get my first dollar to my PayPal account after big frustration of reading emails. At that time you get 1-3 cents to read email, hahahahahha. To be honest it was so ridiculous.

That time there were also lots of spam programs so don’t think that they were quiet reliable. For example most ridiculous reading email programs were those that promise to afford you $100/reading an email. Then those programs require from you to earn something like $100 000 in order to payout. If you want to get more faster your payout where for example they require you to get like $20 000 you need to upgrade your membership. That membership cost at least $80. I doubt this whole thing and I felt that it was hype but because I was so stupid at that time I gave a try.

I paid $80 to upgrade my membership, can you believe that? Anyway I noticed later that nothing happened with my membership, no upgrades and nothing. I contacted to that author and of course as you might guess he didn’t replied anything. I think he he/she just ignored my email.

I learned from my lesson and at that time I stopped joining those kinds of programs that pays ridiculously high or low. I had after that big pause and later on I found internet marketing which was more reliable and it looked very promising. I ended up with it and since from that time I have been spent most of my time learning internet marketing and now I’m writing here.

In this article I’m not going to show you how to earn money by reading emails but rather I share my experiences and memories about them so that you can get a clue that those kind of programs are not worth to join. However if you still want to join them I can give you couple of links to see what kind of programs they really are. I just don’t suggest joining them.

In this article I’m going to tell you how they work. So here’s how they work. Advertiser wants to get more exposure. So first thing that they have to do is to apply for specific plan of that program (program that pays for email readers). After that program will review application and send it to all readers that fills that plan’s requirement and those email readers have to read that email by clicking some specific link. Then those readers must spend time at least like 10-20 seconds to get paid 1-2 cents. That’s how it works and can you see now how frustrating it is?

At that time most people though “oh yes if I can get with this program like 1-2 cents/email then I will join to others to earn more! Muwahhahahah!”. Now at this point you might think that of course this is good idea, well it is not. Reason for this is that if you join for others programs too you will get so much emails that your head is going to blow up. For example me I joined for 5 programs and after one week I have already over 400 unread emails that I can get paid from, believe me or not.

Now I’m very thankful that I don’t have to do anything anymore with those programs…..or hey wait what about this article then? Well this is just exception. Anyway here is the link that I promised to provide to see what kind of programs they really are. I don’t want to even say enjoy because they will rip you apart when you see them .

• DonkeyMails

Although it is quiet repeating sentence it is unfortunately true. The meaning of that sentence is that when you build an email list, especially large one, you can earn money from your subscribers by referring them some product. Let’s take an example.

Let’s imagine that you have about 20K subscribers. From those subscribers 20% will check their email from you.

20 000 * 0.20 = 4 000

So 4 000 subscribers will check your email or your offer. From those 4 000 let’s say 5% will take action i.e. buy product that you recommend.

4 000 * 0.05 = 200

Now let’s imagine also that you have a product where you get commission $35. Let’s go into calculation.

200 * $35 = $7000

That’s $7000 just by sending for your subscribers product offer or you refer some product. That’s easy money. When you have 20K subscriber list there will be higher number of per cent that will response to your email and will take action. Those were rough numbers that I picked up and I wanted to show you that even with small responsive amount of people how much you can earn money.

Of course there are lots of other things that will effect to your conversion rate. For example your email sale letter, how well it is written and how effective it is. Anyway that was to show you how effective email lists really can be when they are done well. So let’s get into main point “How to build an email list?”.

Ingredients for building email list

• 1 piece of Email Marketing Service (Free or Paid)
• 1 page of sale letter or website
• 1 piece of giveaway product or something else that is similar

This recipe is very easy to do.

Step #1 – Join to email marketing service if you don’t have one. There are free and paid services.

Free email marketing services

• PHPList

Paid email marketing services

• Aweber
• iContact
• GetResponse

Step #2 – Create your subscribers field i.e. name and email fields with submit button. If you don’t know how to do this there are clear instructions on those email marketing services.

Step #3 – Copy and paste that subscriber’s field HTML or Java code to your desired page (sale page or website).

Step #4 – Add giveaway product to the subscriber’s field in your sale page or website where you tell to visitors that if you subscriber now you can get my new brand eBook or something similar. People never subscribe to the list unless they get something. I don’t only mean that giveaway but also that if you don’t provide them with quality content and you don’t understand what your subscribers are looking for then there’s a big problem that need to solved.

Step #5 (Optional) – Watch how new subscribers roll to your list .

Conclusion

As you can see it is very easy step to start build an email list. When you have built a big email list it is very rewarding, especially when you success to promote products to your list. There are lots of guru bloggers that has big email list. The biggest one that I have ever seen was email list with 200K subscribers.

Remember to provide your subscribers high quality content, listen them and try to at least know what they want and answer to their need.

Something to say

Reason for why I have not put some images on how to build email list is that there are so many different email marketing services that I don’t really know which one I should use to show you. But maybe in near future I’m going to make some video tutorial on how to build list. I pick up randomly some email marketing service to show it.

One more thing. If you can afford paid email marketing services I highly recommend joining one of them because they have very good user interface, they have customer service and you can manage your lists so easily. With free email marketing services I have had only bad experiences.

Depending on the site quality site price can range from $100 – $500 000 or even more. So it can be quiet rewarding. In this article I’m going to give you some tips to build strong foundation to site that you might want to sell or just to know how to build strong foundation. How to get traffic or how to optimize your website is not the main subject of this article. So if you want to know different of methods to get traffic and how to optimize your website/blog then I highly recommend reading following articles.

• Get Traffic From Social Networks
• Get Traffic From Video Marketing
• Get Traffic by Writing Articles
• Get Traffic From Forums
• How To Optimize Your Website? – Part 1
• How To Optimize Your Website? – Part 2

Building Strong Foundation

Any site that has bad foundations is going to fall apart. It’s like a when you build building. As long as you have no good foundations nothing will grow up to positive way. So to build strong foundation we need following ingredients.

• High quality content
• User-friendly interface
• Necessary pages
• Meta Tags
• Images
• Clear links

So those are the main ingredients. Let’s get into them briefly.

High Quality Content

Most important ingredient and most effective one too. Providing high quality content keeps your site healthy and fresh. More content you provide more people will like your site and visit more often to get new information. Avoid all typos and provide useful information.

User-friendly interface

I have done lots of research about different style of sites and to be honest the most successful were those sites that have simple style i.e. navigation is simple, template is not full of graphic and it consist only from few elements, colors are picked up correctly and important links are indicated clearly.

When I was working in few companies that had websites they got lots of good feedback about user-friendly interface of their website. One big part of this was to have easy navigation menu and they were very happy.

Necessary Pages

If you want to optimize your website to get more traffic and ease connectivity between you and your visitors then you need at least following pages:

• Contact page
• Disclaimer page
• Privacy Policy page
• Sitemap page

Those pages are necessary especially when you want to submit your site to Google. Google requires those pages in order to have high rank page. I highly recommend adding them. Here are some sites where you can see how to write Disclaimer and Privacy Policy pages.

• Disclaimer – Free Business Forms
• Privacy Policy – Hoover Web Design

Meta Tags

I have spoke about this tags before and you find more information about them in following article “How To Optimize Your Website? – Part 1”. Main point that I want to stress out is that add Keyword and Description Meta Tags. They are very important part of optimization but also very necessary even if you don’t optimize your site.

Images

I added this section because I want to stress out that importance of having images in site. They will ease reading and understanding your content more. It feels so boring to read something without images. It has been proved that people can concentrate more when they will see images that help them to understand content more. It also keep them awake, lol . So add images because they will effect to your site quality. Also Google like them.

Clear Links

This is very important part of site. What I mean with clear links are links that have good and clear names that correspond their meaning. They are easy to find and clearly visible. Add only necessary links that are related to your site subject. When you have “healthy” links this will grow your site pagerank. This is also important part of selling your site but still though crucial.

What’s next?

Now that you have a site with strong foundations and you want to sell it then next thing is to prepare all the necessary statistics of your site. Then you need to find websites where you can sell your site and place your offer. Before I give you those sites where you can sell your site on marketplace let’s see what are necessary statistics that you need.

• Description of your site.
• Traffic statistics (unique visitors).
• Page Rank.
• Domain name.
• Is your site earning money? If so then how much and what are the income streams?.
• Age of your site.
• Screenshot of your site or at least give possibility for visitors to visit your site.
• If your site has won some awards, add them.

After you have gathered that information it is time to put your site on sale. Here are some sites that you might consider to sell your site in.

• Sitepoint
• BuySellWebsite
• BusinessBroker.net

So here you have it. I hope you will be successful in selling your site and that you will get good reward from it. Share your thoughts and opinions.

But enough of speaking mumbo jumbo. Let’s go to the main point. So how can you earn money by blogging. There are lots of different ways to do that and we are going to cover the main methods and some other important monetizing methods as well.

Method #1 – Placing ads

Many bloggers are using this method to earn money. However it is not easy as many might think. Reason for this is that no one wants to advertise on your blog unless it has good statistics. Most important fact in statistics is traffic i.e. how much your blog is getting traffic. Another fact that is effecting is your blog’s quality. The better quality blog you have more traffic you will gain and more professional your blog will look. With quality I mean everything that is required to have quality blog i.e. content, graphics, easy usability and user friendly.

Now let’s imagine that you have good statistics about your blog. The next step would be to add advertise page and you can call it with whatever name you want but most important is that you will choose a name where user/visitor can recognize your advertising page. The best name is “Advertise”. So add that page and there you need to inform at least following advertising information:

1. Amount of Pageviews.
2. If Blog has received award prizes or has high reputation, mention it.
3. Advertising options (size, place and format of ad).
4. Cost of advertising (for each option).
5. Contact Information for users/visitors that wants to add (Email).

When you have good statistics you can wait for offers to come into your email and that’s good way to earn money. Remember the more traffic you start to get more you can raise cost of advertising because probably people who pays to advertise on your blog they have higher probability to get more traffic. Offer reasonable prices.

Method #2 – Making Affiliate Products Reviews

When we start to think about making a blog which is about products reviews where you can earn money by selling products this is great way to do it. It is fast, easy, cheap and rewarding. Only thing you have to in this is to write review post for each product that you want to promote and in each review it is recommended that you will add at least one time your affiliate link. Optional would be 1-3 times to add affiliate link.

Remember to add photos about that product. When you consider reviewing some products it doesn’t have to be review site. It can be any kind of site but remember this rule, if reviewing products are related to the subject of your blog then it is okay, otherwise it is not wise movement. Let’s take a simple example to make this clear. My blog is about affiliate marketing. Because there are lots of products that are related to affiliate marketing it is okay to have product reviews.

Method #3 – Selling Ebay and Amazon Products

One another good way to earn money is to use Ebay and/or Amazon ads. All you have to do is join to Ebay and/or Amazon network as an affiliate and then copy and paste ad code to your blog. Every time when someone buys from your blog you will get paid because of your affiliate link. More information about this section in coming article “How to Make Money Online by Affiliating Amazon and Ebay Products”.

Method #4 – Provide Unique Services

Because this is most difficult method of monetizing your blog it also rewards mostly. So what I mean with providing unique services? Any kind of freelance services. For example programming, graphics design or something else. Those might be your strengths that you have not even expected to generate money with your blog unless you have a blog that is related to those subjects.

Conclusion

There are so many ways to monetize your blog, for example selling links and reviewing blogs. Lots of monetizing methods I’m going to cover very soon as I stated on post “How to Make Money Online?”. My advice is that you should test different methods. Which are working for you and which not. You can test each method for 1-2 months in order to get enough data about them.

If you want to know how to monetize your blog with other ways then I highly recommend following product called Blogging To The Bank 3.0

Most people know how to make money by affiliating Clickbank products but I want to show for newbies how to do it and also I will give some advices that will ease choosing a product to promote. So we are now speaking from the perspective view of affiliates.

Let’s get down to business

Earning money with Clickbank is quiet simple and there’s actually not much to talk on how to earn with it. All you have to do is register to their service, go to Marketplace and choose products that you want to promote, generate code and võila you’re ready to promote. Copy that generated link and start to promote. In order to make this clear I decided to make step-by-step instructions with images and who doesn’t love images in tutorials?

Step 1 – Register to Clickbank service

Go to http://www.clickbank.com. Click “Sign Up” link.

Step 2 – Fill out required information

Fill out required information, scroll down to bottom of the page, read Client Contract, agree terms & conditions and click Submit.

Step 3 – Confirmation

Next you will be directed to following page:

You need to check your email and click confirmation link that you received from Clickbank and also you need to copy confirmation code in order to complete this step. After you have clicked the confirmation link you will end to following page:

Type required information and then click Finish.

Step 4 – Correct information (optional)

After you have confirmed your account it is good to go and login and check that your information are correct.

This will cover registration account in Clickbank. Next thing we are going to look is Marketplace and how to choose good product to promote.

Marketplace – the Ocean of products

You have over 10 000 products to choose from marketplace and in order to find SHINY PERL (best product) to promote you need to know how to find it. Here I have wrote article called “How to find a good clickbank product to promote?”. I highly recommend to read it because it explains marketplace important facts in more detail and also gives some tips on how to find good clickbank product to promote.

Ready to promote?

For promotion you have lots of different ways to this. The promotion purpose is to get traffic. I have written some articles on how to get traffic with many ways and especially I recommend reading articles named “Get Traffic from Social Networks”, “Get Traffic from Video Marketing” and “Get Traffic by Writing Articles”. Also if you have decided to establish review site like blog or website then I highly recommend reading optimizing website articles. There is lots of stuff in those articles that applies also for optimizing blogs. The articles are “How to optimize your website? – Part 1” and “How to optimize your website? – Part 2”.

The main point of promotion is to get as much traffic as you can. So if you have more different ways it is good to use them. Remember to use your ideas or your ways that you know best to work for you. That will end this article. I hope you have got lot of new information.

• You need lots of traffic in order to make hundreds or thousands of dollars.
• You need to know where to place them to get best result.
• Earnings are not so high per click.

If you don’t know what is Adsense, here’s quick brief explanation about it. Adsense is service where publisher can place Google ads to own site and every time when someone clicks those ads publisher earns money. So let’s continue.

How to add Google Adsense ads?

If you are experienced Adsense user about Adsense then you can skip this section. This is more for beginners who want to learn Adsense. I’m not going to cover how Adsense works because it is not the main topic of this subject. So we are only going to focus on how to earn money with Adsense and hence I’m going to show you how to install it and give you some tips how to optimize your Adsense ads.

Setting up Adsense

Step 1 – Register Adsense Account.

Step 2 – Login to your account.

Step 3 – Click Adsense Setup.

Step 4 – Choose your Ad format.

Step 5 – Configure your ad.

Step 6 – Copy and paste code to your site!

It took only 6 steps to setup your account and ad to your site. It takes maybe 15 minutes or not even that. Next thing we are going to cover is optimization. This is very important part because we want also to boost our revenues.

Optimizing Adsense

Because I want to make this very simple without writing big explanation I thought it would be good idea to give speech to Google Adsense Host Andrew to explain adsense optimization more in detail by video. This video is Google Adsense Webinar which was held on April 1, 2009. One thing I want to mention about this video is that you need at least some basic understanding about Adsense in order to understand following videos although they explain even optimization basics.

Another thing that I want to mention is that in following video they are going to show Google Adsense “heat-map”. This heat-map is done by Google and you can download that heat-map from their website by clicking here. Enjoy!
