Online Business Resources: How I Made My First Million and How You Can Too!

http://www.theeasyincomepro.com

Ewan Chia's "How I Made My First Million on the Internet and How You Can Too!: The Complete Insider's Guide to Making Millions with Your Internet Business," is one of the most useful online business books around.

Before I proceed with the book review, I want it to be clear that I am not being compensated by Ewan Chia for writing this review. In fact, borrow this book from the library and pay nothing. The important issue is that you receive and apply the information contained within "How I Made My First Million." The ideas contained within the book are free, with a few minor exceptions depending on how you choose to run your business. For example, whether you choose to pay for an auto-responder or find a free service.

In the book Ewan goes into detail about how to get your online business started. He writes so that even the most amateur online business owner can understand and apply the simple business ideas. Ewan talks about finding a niche by looking at your interests and focusing on a business idea that intrigues you. For example, if you have specialized knowledge in dog training he relates how you can build a website around your knowledge. Create information products such as "8 Special Ways to Get Your Dog to do What You Want." Or promote other people's products through affiliate marketing. Write interesting content to introduce your info or affiliate product. Spark people's interest and reveal that you have expertise within your topic of choice.

Ewan discusses at length the idea of gathering contact details from those who view your web pages. If you can get the email addresses of those who look at your website you are on your way to having a successful online business. The reason is that most people do not make purchases on their first visit to a website. When you capture their email it allows you to remind your subscribers of the great offers from your website.

Capturing emails is a bit of an art. The key is to offer potential subscribers a reason to give you their email. Offer a free ebook or software download to entice people to subscribe. The free offers will build your credibility as people will see that you provide quality services. As they enjoy your freebie you can then remind them how much more they will like your offered products. You can use a "squeeze" page, which will funnel people towards your free offer allowing you to capture subscriber details.

Ewan describes the various methods to generate free traffic to your website. He simply relates that you must get your web link in as many places as you possibly can. You do this by blogging, joining forums related to your business, submitting free articles, and link exchanges.

I enjoyed reading Ewan's book because of his motivational story. He was able to raise himself out of poverty and persevere through hardship. He struggled mightily and tried hundreds of online business methods before he found out what worked. The book not only describes how to build your online business, but is a great motivator to persist through difficult circumstances. "How I made my first million" is an inspirational book that will motivate you to do something everyday to improve your life.

Monetizing Your Blog

By Wesley Deans
http://www.theeasyincomepro.com

Everyone wants to make an extra paycheck online these days.  One of the bests ways to do so is by creating a blog that can generate income.  How do you make a blog that can earn a hefty paycheck?

1. Content is King - The top priority should be creating content that is worth reading.  If you write blog  posts that are worth reading people will come back to your blog over and over.  You will be able to build a following, so that when  you have something to say there will actually be people who read it.  Choose a blog topic you enjoy and focus in on that topic.  Do not write a financial blog one day and a cooking blog the next.  Hone in on different aspects of your main topic.  For example, I enjoy blogging about online business.  It’s a subject people are interested in because everyone wants to make money and also there are a great number of subtopics within online business.

2.  Spread the Word About Your Blog - If you are simply making blog posts and nothing else, you are not doing enough.  Submit your blog to search engines.  Post twitter messages about your blog updates.  Join blog directories that will catalog your blog.  Blog Catalog and My Blog Log are both great blog directories that can connect you with other bloggers who share similar interest.  Within such blog directories you will be able to join communities and add contacts, which will allow your blog more exposure.

3.  Monetize Your Blog - If you are attracting followers and getting decent web traffic for your blog, but making no money, then you are wasting an opportunity.  With a captive audience reading your blog there is an opportunity to place ads and affiliate links, which relate to your blog subject.  For example, if you write a dating tips blog you could place an affiliate link to Match.com.  You are providing people the service of giving them a quality reference.  If they visit and make a purchase then you will receive a cut of the profits.  Google Adsense allows you to place ads that are related to the subject matter of your blog.  Utilize these tools to start creating income as you blog.

4.  Do Something Every Day -  Persistence and effort are necessary if you wish to make a substantial income as a blogger.  Generating adequate traffic takes time and requires you to place your blog link all over the web.  Link exchanges, comment posts, message forums, and article writing can all be used as ways to place a link back to your blog.  If you take the time to do something each day with the purpose of promoting your blog, eventually you will have made something that can generate income.

Blogging is a great way to express yourself and share ideas with others.  Most people are casual bloggers who will never make a dime from their posts.  You can be different with a bit of extra effort and persistence.  Good luck.

Free Article Marketing: The Best Idea Yet

By Wesley Deans
http://www.theeasyincomepro.com

One of the great ways to let people know about your website or business is online article marketing.  When you market your ideas through articles, you are posting content rich subject matter.  The subject matter allows people to see that your website is not just about making money, but offers helpful information in return.  For example, if you are running an online dating site you could post articles about dating tips and relationship advice.  As people see that you have value to offer in exchange for your services, they will be more enticed to purchase your product or join your membership program.

When you post articles Google can spider such articles, which allows millions of people to access your material.  They can click on your article as it pops up in their natural search results.  People that come to your articles through targeted keyword searches are much more likely to look into your website.  If your website provides what they are looking for then more likely than not you have a new customer.  You can build relationships with customers over time as your mailing list grows.

The wonderful part about article marketing is that it can be completely free.  Thousands of people look through Ezine articles every single day.  You can submit your articles to Ezine for absolutely no cost.  Ezine is just one of many article directories that will publish your articles for free.  Your articles can contain your back-link to allow interested persons to investigate further into your advice and offers.  As you build back-links to your website, your page ranking for Google will increase because quality back-links are part of the search algorithm.

Continuing to post free articles will show that your business is current and that you are dedicated to your niche.  Overtime you will generate more and more web traffic, which means increased sales.  Who wouldn’t want that?

Web Surf for Free Web Traffic: Not All It’s Cracked Up to Be

By Wesley Deans
http://www.theeasyincomepro.com

If you have been searching for a way to boost the amount of hits at your website then you are not alone.  Many websites offer free exchanges where if you use their surf program they will drive traffic to your website.  Unfortunately, the traffic driven to your website is useless.  I have not tried all the web surf exchange programs, but the two programs (Trafficg.com and eternalhits.com) have given nothing more than automated hits.

As I did my nightly check at Google Analytics I saw that my surfing for Trafficg and eternal hits had brought roughly 100 hits for that day.  I looked further into what was happening when those “people” entered my website.  The statistics were less than exciting.  For every hit coming from a free surf exchange, the average time spent on my website was 0 seconds  and the bounce rate was 100%.  The web hits were nothing more than fake bot hits.

My goal in writing this article is to alert people to be careful about what you are receiving when a website claims they will drive traffic to your site for free.  I was duped into surfing trafficg and eternal hits, while they were providing me with no hits at all.  Essentially, they were gaining free exposure for their own advertising, while providing nothing in return.

Luckily there are other ways to generate free web hits toward your site.  Creating and submitting article content with your attached website link is a great way to gain exposure for your website.  You can submit your articles to free articles directories where they will be posted for all to see.  Search engines like Google will crawl and index your articles allowing them to gain maximum display.  With keyword rich articles, people may even be able to see your submission at the top of Google search.  As you submit articles the amount of links going into your home website will increase, which also helps your site gain power in the search engine rankings.

Other methods include blogging, where you can submit posts to let people know about product information and upcoming offers.  Blogs are a great way to get information out quickly.  Blog posts can be long or short, as there are no minimum word counts that sometimes accompany article submissions.

Wishing you the best as your online business continues.  Visit www.theeasyincomepro.com for more information and a free affiliate e-course.

Moonlighting on the Internet: Great Resources for Learning about Online Business

By Wesley Deans

http://www.theeasyincomepro.com

 

A book I personally recommend to anyone trying to start up their own online business.  The first is Moonlighting on the Internet by Yanik Silver.  I suggest this title because Yanik Silver tells you exactly what you need to do to get your online business going.  He recommends selling information products, which he has had great success with.  The book tells of great success stories that get you motivated to start moving with your online business.  Yanik is great at explaining how to entice visitors by offering freebies and increasing the perceived value of your product.  When you show people that the product you are selling can in turn make them a lot of money, the perceived value goes out the roof.

 

Yanik favors the information product because of it’s versatility.  You can always find a way to create information that people want.  Whether it is creating an information packet about fixing an engine, revolutionary dating tips, or learning how to make money with a blog, each idea can be successful if there is a market for your idea.  If there is a market for your idea then your job is to figure out what people want and how you can package it so that people would pay for the information.

 

Yanik does not only discuss selling information products, but also brings in four other gifted experts to discuss other ways of making an income online.  eBay sales, Yahoo! E-commerce stores, affiliate marketing, and blogging are all discussed in relative depth.  These methods can be used hand in hand.  For example, if you are selling your own information product you could package it with an affiliate product you represent.  Blogging about your products and creating content can be a great way to generate more traffic to your website.

 

The wonderful aspect about “Moonlighting on the Internet” is that the ideas for wealth creation are free or low cost.  Most people will want to have their own website and that may cost roughly $15 a month, but there are hosting companies that will give you a free website.  Most free web hosting comes with a catch, such as advertising, or lack of freedom in how you can position text, image, or html boxes.

 

After you have purchased a domain and website let the creations begin.  Yanik emphasizes that you stick with one solid idea until it becomes solid.  It should be generating a few hundred dollars worth of passive income per week.  Once your idea has been set up and is generating an income stream it becomes time to duplicate your success with another mini website income stream.

 

Yanik’s book gives great advice, which is why I highly recommend it, but do not become discouraged if you are not instantly making hundreds of dollars in extra income.  There is a learning curve in creating quality products.  Also, generating a heavy flow of web traffic takes patience and constant persistence.

Starting an Online Business

Beginning an online business can be difficult, but does not need to be.  Necessary ingredients include patience and persistence.  Many begin with rampant enthusiasm, which dies down very quickly after a short while.  The key is to stay committed to your online business idea and to be patient when things do not seem as though they are going as quickly as you would have hoped.  It takes time to attract visitors to your website.  It takes time to enhance websites that allow for increased conversions.  Day by day you must continue to improve and work on something with your web business.

Immediate steps to beginning a web business are of course figuring out an idea.  What would make for a profitable niche?  Do you have expertise in teaching golf? Could you figure out a way to package that into an information product?  Numerous questions arise when trying to discover the proper niche to venture into.  Mainly, it depends on what interests you and if you truly believe you could make your idea profitable.  It could be anything from advertising another company’s product as an affiliate, or building your own quality information product.  The ideas are infinite.  You can always create off of ideas that already exist.  For instance, if someone has lessons for how to cook, you could come out with a 101 recipes e-book to go along with the cooking lessons.

An important step to maintaining exuberance for your online business is to keep overhead costs low.  Make sure you purchase web hosting from an inexpensive source.  Many web hosting plans have offers for $15 or less per month.  If you are willing to pay for a year subscription you could be paying as like as $6 or $7 each month.  Hosting should remain fairly inexpensive.

It’s always important to have a proper auto-responder.  Most of the people who subscribe to your website newsletter will not purchase from you on their first visit.  Offer them a free e-book or download by having them subscribe to your newsletter.  When they have subscribed to your newsletter you will be able to continue to contact them about important offers.  A great auto-responder (mailing list provider) I have come across is located at Bravenet.  It is a completely free mailing list provider, whereas most auto-responder programs would charge your $15 or more per month.

Promote your website through free methods.  Comment on public forums related to your web content and post your website link back at the end of each post.  Create free articles that you can submit to free article submission services.  There are a variety of different ways to increase your web traffic.  Make sure you do not fall into the trap of paying high prices to generate traffic to your site.

Hopefully, this has wet your appetite for starting your own web business.  Continue to research the best ways to start making an income with your website.  For other free materials and a free affiliate e-course visit www.theeasyincomepro.com.

Tough Economy: A Look Into Affiliate Marketing Including a Free E-Course

With tough economic times upon us it seems like a great time to look into a part-time online business.  Many people fear doing business over the internet, but those fears can be overcome as people learn how simple starting your own business really is.  Building your own website has never been easier and web hosting runs for less than $15 at many venues.  Companies such as Yahoo and FatCow offer deals that slash even the meager $15 a month web hosting fees.  When you purchase yearly subscriptions your web hosting cost can come down to as low as $6 or $7 a month.  Compare that cost to opening up a brick and mortar store with tremendous overhead.  With your low-cost website you can mount a strong attack to improve your chances of earning an extra paycheck. With your own website there are many money-making options.  An option I would like to discuss is called affiliate marketing.  Basically as an affiliate, you sign on with a company like Amazon or join an affiliate directory such as Commission Junction (www.cj.com).  Once signed on as an affiliate you are able to promote the company's products and your reward is a cut of the profits when someone makes a purchase due to your promotion efforts.

It takes hard work to get your affiliate ball rolling.  Attracting traffic to your website is not always easy at the beginning.  Using pay per click routes can quickly deplete your cash flow and end up not providing fruitful results anyways.  Some great ways to increase your web traffic for free are by using free search engine submission tools.  Creating your own blog, twitter account, facebook account, and other social media are great ways to get the word out about your website.  Also, writing articles and submitting them to article directories can provide you with links back to your website.  When you provide articles for websites they will reward you by allowing links back to your web page.

Of course finding your niche is always important. Think about how you could provide insight into the product you want to promote.The key to your ability to get affiliate sales will be how well the content of your website drives the customer to want to purchase the product. A great way to do this is by "pre-selling." "Pre-selling" is a method of introducing the product to customers without blasting them with a sales pitch.When you offer customers a free download, or free e-course they will feel much more comfortable dealing with you as a merchant. You begin to develop a trust with your customers and show them that you deliver great value with the different services you have to offer.

That is a basic definition of an affiliate.  I would like to offer you a much more detailed guide of how an affiliate marketer can make large amounts of money.  There are many subtle secrets when it comes to affiliate marketing.  Because of that I am offering a free e-course through my website.  With this free e-course you will be able to learn the many nuances of becoming an affiliate.  Please check out your free affiliate e-course today, as this offer will only last until next week.

Generating Web Traffic: Free Methods Compared with Paid

The lifeblood of web business has always been the ability of the site designers to generate a constant stream of web traffic.  There are many ways to have people enter your website, including paid and free methods.  Those who are new to website building will often fall into the allure that if you pay some fixed amount to a certain company, that they will be able to solve all your website traffic problems.  In fact, it usually is not that easy.  Generating web traffic takes patience and careful planning.  Thousands of webpage hits do not simply come as a result of submitting your url to a search engine optimization site.  So what are some of the specific ways you can generate traffic for your website?

Let’s begin with some of the major paid ways of generating web traffic.  There are services that allow you to pay for search engine optimization services and they will supposedly boost your rankings in Google search and other main search engines.  This method is no recommended, as the results can be hit or miss.  It is not always easy to determine exactly what the Google search algorithms are looking for.  Your website may slip in the rankings as time passes.

Banner ads are a paid way where you can place a banner on another website in exchange for a fee.  The company will charge a certain amount depending upon the length of time your banner displays on their site.

The most popular paid advertising method is the pay per click method.  Google, Yahoo, Ask!, and many others offer a service where you can put up an add that shows up on the search engines.  When internet users enter keywords that match those associated with your ad, they may see your ad on the side or at the top of the webpage.  Pay per click listings only cost money when someone actually clicks on your ad and enters your website.  Pay per click is not a useful method for those with limited budgets.  On sites like Google or Yahoo, you can quickly blow through a limited budget due to the high cost per click.  The pay per click method is great for boosting your web traffic in a quick amount of time.  Ads you place with the pay per click company are posted immediately.

Free methods for building website traffic include submitting your site to free search engine optimization websites.  Again, there is no guarantee that such search engine optimization sites will boost your website rankings.

Social media, such as Twitter, have become a major method of boosting web traffic.  There is an application called TwitterSearch that allows you to type in keywords related to your website.  A great way to get more web traffic is to search for related users, who share common interests with you and your website.  As you gain followers, you can post bulletins and send messages that announce new information or products your website has to offer.

Free article submission is a great way to boost web traffic.  When you submit an informational article that has to do with your website people will be intrigued and click on your link.  Many of the article submission directories will have your article placed in the Google search areas allowing for extra exposure.  This method can create a constant stream of traffic.  There may not be an immediate surge in web traffic, but visitors will trickle in as they see your articles.

Creating your own blog is a great way to write articles and advertise your website.  Connect with other users and continue to expose your website for no cost.

Writing comments on forums and blogs related to your website is a great way to “steal” traffic from other websites.  When you write a thoughtful comment related to the forum or blog people will recognize that you may have something to offer.  As a result, they will click on your link included in your comment.

These are just a few of the methods that can help boost your web traffic.  To learn how your website stacks up against others check out your free Alexa ranking and visit www.theeasyincomepro.com

Do not forget to check out all the free information including a free affiliate marketing e-course.  At the Easy Income Pro you can learn how to build your own website that can create a passive income stream. 

As always, wishing you continued business success.
