2. What you need to start selling.
3. Why you need a web-site of your own.
4. Do you need a list of your own?
5. The right education.Before we look at the first topic, let me ask you a question: How hard are you going to work to make money online?A. I don’t want to work hard.
B. I don’t mind hard work.
C. I have no idea.
D. I will do what ever it takes.Why am I asking this question? The truth is, that there is a certain amount of work, that you will have to do, if you want to make money online. The amount of work is up to you! If you have money to play with, then you can out-source most of the work, and will be able to make money that much faster, but if you are working with a small budget, then you will have to work harder and put in the hours, that it takes to succeed. There is no short cut to success, the work has to be done by someone.So, now that you understand that someone will have to do the work, let’s take a look at number one and see what some of that work will be.1. How to find the right product to sell: If you have your own product, then this is easy, if you don’t, then you will need to become an affiliate and market someone else’s product or service, to make money online. This can take you a few hours, or a few weeks of searching on the Internet, to find the right product for you. The biggest thing to remember, is to find a product, that people will want to buy. If you try to sell a product that no-one wants, then you will not make any money. If you find a product, that you think people will buy, then jump on it and become an affiliate for that product.Not sure what an affiliate is, let me explain. For those people, that have never heard this term before, I will use a quick example; I own company A and I make Flashlights. I want to have lots of people to buy them, but I only have one web-site. So, I use a company, such as, Commission Junction, that people can join, to become affiliates (salesmen) for my flashlights. Every time they sell one, I will pay them a commission for the sale. So, there you have the basics, of what an affiliate is. You can find, all kinds of different products to sell, through companies like Commission Junction and ClickBank. Just do a search and you will have lots to choose from. This is the way, that most marketers, make money online, through becoming affiliates.2. What you need, to start selling. Once you have your product picked out, you will need a place to put it on display. For that, you need a landing or squeeze page (this is a site on the net, that you direct people to, so they can see your product). Once a person sees what you have to offer, they then go to a sales page, so that they can buy your product. We will look at, why you want two different pages, when we talk about building a list. For now, let’s look at number three.3. Why you need a web-site of your own. There are lots of reasons to have your own web-site.A. To brand yourself (Personal Branding). There are a tremendous amount of scams and scammers on the Internet today. What you need to do, is give your potential buyers a place that they can go, to find out more about you. Which, leads to my second point.B. People need to learn more about you and come to trust you. When people, can access more information about who you are, and what you do, and believe in you, then they will start to trust you and will be more likely to buy from you. As, in the author section below, I have a link to my personal blog, so that you can find out more about me and what I believe in. The more trust a person has for you, the easier it is to make money online, from the person. Which, leads to my next point.C. You can have a variety of products and services on the same site. I have a large variety of products and services, that you can access through my site. These are all, affiliate products, that I will get paid a commission on the sale, but, they are also products that I use and recommend. Then, there are books that you can buy and other products, as well. The site is set up, to help people to succeed and make money online, and to make me money, as well.Though, there are more reasons, the ones listed above, will give you a good idea, as to why you need your own web-site.4. Do you need a list of your own. I will tell you, that if you are not creating your own list of people, you will never make money online, that will be consistent. You can make money online without a list, but you will make more with one. Why? Once a person is on your list you can send them emails with new offers at any time that you like. The more people on your list, the more that you will be able to make.Let’s take a quick look at squeeze pages and sales pages: A squeeze page (or lead capture page) is designed to have people give their name and email, to the owner of the page. If that is not you, then you are building someone else’s list, and not your own. A sales page, is where a person is sent, after they have opted in on the squeeze page, so that they can purchase a product.5. The right education. This is the single most important thing you need to make money online, the right education. It will make or break you. Without it, you will not learn how to build your list, or how to get traffic to your site(s). Remember, that without traffic/people coming to your site, you will never make money online, no matter what else you do. There are lots of companies that will promise you all kinds of things, when it comes to education. Some will sell you, out of date systems, that did not work even when they were first put together, and some will just take your money and run. My advice to you, is to research any company that you are thinking about joining. There are lots of review sites, that will give you an indication of whether a company/product, is a scam or not.Personally, there is only one education company/platform, that I will recommend to people. It teaches, up to date strategies and techniques, that will make money online, if you follow the directions and do the work. Whether, you do it or out-source the work, it will give you all the tools and training, that you need to succeed.In summary: You need to find the right product and have a squeeze page/landing page to collect people’s email addresses, so you can build your own list. Then, have a sales page, for people to buy your product. Then, you need to send out more emails and promote other products to your list. And, the most important thing is to educate yourself, in the best techniques, in how to do all this.It is possible to make money online, with the right training. I wish you the best of luck with your journey.
