The first strategy to make money online is building a list.
This strategy is the most important step to continue to make money long term. If you do not already have some type of autoreponder system you need to get one. Don't be cheap here either because your entire business will hinge on this one piece of software.
You can build your list many different ways. You can buyleads from reputable list building companies and get them into yourautoresponder. Most good list building companies will have an option to send anemail to your autoresponder so you donít have to manually input the leads information.
Another effective way of building your list is from thetraffic that visits your website. This step, which is probably the most effective,does require you to have a website in order to implement an opt-in list form. Of course if your Affiliate program does offer a list management service thenyou can send traffic to the affiliate URL, but I donít recommend it as you willusually not be able to email the entire list with special offers.
To make the most of your opt-in form and get the mostsignups, you should place it in your sales page text. It should bestrategically located in the sales text after you present a problem. The titleof your autoresponder email series should address the problem by offering asolution. In the example below we will assume that I am selling a hostingpackage and I want opt-in subscribers to my email course for back-end sales.
Example: You can use the pre-built websites or build yourown. Many people think that building a website is hard, but I can show you howeasy it really is. Take my 10 day email course
The second strategy to make money online is driving traffic to your website.
When I say traffic, I don't just mean any old traffic, I mean targeted traffic, people who are motivated and ready to buy can and will make you money. You can use programs and techniques such as Google Adwords, bloging, article writing and linking to drive targeted traffic to your website. Google Adwords is a resource offered by Google in which you can pay for your site to be show when certain keywords are queried in their search engine.
The secret to using Adwords is not to bid high on popular keywords. Instead, what you do is find similar keywords that still describe your website, but are used much less frequent. These keywords will cost much less to bid on and will allow you to spread your money out over many different keywords, getting the most bangfor your buck. You can use this handy little tool to find similar keywords: http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
Bloging is another greatway to drive targeted traffic to your website. To get the most out of this techniquethe blog should be hosted on the same website as the sales page witch links to your affiliate program. Once its setup all you have to do is fill your blogwith good quality content.
I recommend writing your own content which specificallyrelates to your affiliate program and or products. Once you have some contentyou will need to submit your RSS feed to the as many blog search engines as youcan. This will put your blog out there for other webmasters to use as content feeds on their websites.
This win-win situation allows webmasters to have quality content on their website, which increases the value of that website whiledriving targeted traffic directly to you.
This is done by the URL link that you conveniently placed under your name after the blog was written. That means that your link is on a blog feed that is onthousands of websites. Not only do people click those links but Google seesthese links pointing back to you and thinks that youíre popular and you are rewarded with a higher page rank.
Article writing is basically the same as bloging except theinformation in an article will need to have more useful content and be peppered with keywords that the webmasters are looking for. After completing yourarticle you will submit (syndicate) it to content sites as opposed to blogsearch engines.
Content sites are places where webmasters go to find specific content to offer their readers. If you are a good writer you may atsome point build up a name for yourself and finagle a deal with a webmaster towrite exclusives for his site. His readers get great exclusive content and you get highly motivated targeted traffic.
Linking is perhaps the most widely used form of increasing traffic and page rank. However, if done incorrectly you could end up hurting your Google page rank and ultimately loosing potential buyers. You will need your own website for this technique asyou will need a link page to place your reciprocal links on.
Many people go and submit their URL links to link farms in an attempt to trick Google into giving them a better page rank. This does not work; in fact Google has been known to penalize websites for engaging in these activities.
The secret to linking is to find websites in your niche market which have high trust flow and enticing the webmaster to list your link on their website. You may think that you would be helping your competition, well you would be. But your competition would be helping you as well. It is better to send leaving traffic to a partner than just having them close their browser window, and remember that works both ways.
The strategies listed in this article do work and they will increase you sales and residuals it done correctly. Reciprocal linking, Bloging and Article writing are great ways to bring massive amounts of high quality targeted traffic to your website. Those strategies combined with an effective sales page with an integrated opt-in email list can make your business soar tonew heights. You can and will make money with this system!
