YOU REALLY CAN MAKE MONEY ONLINE
YOU REALLY CAN MAKE MONEY ONLINE By SUE RICHI’ve spent years online, looking for that ‘perfect’ opportunity.You know, the one that’s going to make me rich over night. SinceI didn’t want to fork over any money for this magicalopportunity, the natural course was affiliate links. And thetruth is, affiliate links are great. The problem was, like mostnewbies, I got carried away. My website had a link to everyproduct known to man shoved into every nook and cranny--but nobuyers. I d...
...idn’t know what I was doing wrong. My ads were great (atleast in my opinion). My free banners were great. Just no sales.Not many visitors, either. Then two things happened simultaneously. First, I became an affiliate for Dish Network Satellite. Nothingnew there. But as soon as I signed up, I started receivingtraining e-mails from them that included hundreds of links towhere I could post my ads. Everything started to change. I founda whole new forum where thousands would see my ads—and it wasFREE.I never sold to a single subscription to Dish Network, but thetwo minutes I spent to join were priceless because of thetraining and links. Just go to the website below and click on "Affiliate Program"and join (for free, of course).http://www.vmcsatellite.com/?aid=84511(By the way, I still promote Dish Network. I owe them a lot!) The second thing that happened was directly because of myexcitement over the Dish Network training. I started looking formore training. I began reading the newsletters I’d been deletingsince the beginning of the internet. And I started learning.The more I read, the more I wanted to read. I posted my adsevery day, read all the articles I’d received, then searched formore business newsletters where I could subscribe for free,which includes most of them. I started following their advice as best as I could. I cleanedup my web site to a professional level. I started a newsletterof my own. I started reading e-books from the masters. Free onesat first, then some I actually paid for. They were worth everycent!I fell in love with the newsletters and e-books. Especiallysince almost all are were written for people just like me. Istill wasn’t making any sales yet, but because of the dailypostings my site statistics had gone from about 100 a month to10,000 a month, which made the search engines take notice.I started getting visitors from search engines!Then one day, after reading several articles, it all cametogether. I honestly don’t remember whose article it was, or ifit was even one in particular, but it made me realize that theads I was posting every day weren’t to buyers. They were topeople just like me; people looking for opportunities to makemoney online. They weren’t going to buy my satellite dish, or mygolf bags, or magazines or toilet bowl cleaner. They wanted thesame thing I did. Information on how to make money.I went into a frenzie of looking for and joining even more ofthe guru’s newsletters. I figured they had more information thanjust about anyone. I now subscribe to about 30 of them, andbelieve it or not, I read everyone of them religiously. Then I started searching for ‘information products’. Productsthat would help people like me.I joined Clickbank (http://clickbank.com/index.html), wherethere’s a wealth of information products to sell, and you onlyhave to join once (for free) to get access to about 10,000items. You get the graphics, if you want them, or text ads, and just bytyping in your user name, you get a personalized link right onthe spot. But the best part is, you link straight to the ‘gurus’sales page, and they literally make the sale for you.(A side note: I don't make anything for referring you toClickbank).I didn’t know exactly what I’d done right, until I sat down andanalyzed what had changed (another lesson I learned from thegurus). I realized that I’d gotten rid of most of my otherproducts, and I had become FOCUSED in one area...helping others.And that’s when I started getting paychecks....Sue RichMy home site: http://www.richvisions.comWhere to find really helpful e-bookshttp://www.write-ebooks-4-profit.comWhere to find FREE advertising http://www.inforesourcecenter.comWhere to get FREE writing lessonshttp://www.richvision.com/write.html
