Online Money Making Idea - The Top Guides

By John Coutts

There are many people looking for that one golden online money making idea that will catapult them from failure to success overnight. While that elusive dream may not really exist, there are a few making money programs available that will do the next best thing, if applied properly and sensibly.

One of the best ways to learn the tricks of the trade, so to speak, and get up and running as fast as possible with an Internet wealth system is to join a membership site dedicated to helping members succeed. There are many "out there." Some are very good, some are not so good, and some I wouldn't touch with the proverbial barge pole.

In addition, the costs to be a member can vary quite considerably, from $30 a month on average to over $500 a month for some more exclusive membership sites! What will you get for $500 a month? I honestly don't know; I wouldn't pay that, because you don't have to if you just want excellent value. Value is what it all comes down to in the end. Now I'm not saying that $500 a month won't get you value -- it certainly should! But even at $30 a month, there are a few exceptional membership sites providing really great value month, after month, after month.

At the top of the price range, and providing excellent value, you can find Jeff Johnson's Super Affiliate Coaching Club. And at the lower price range, and providing equally excellent value, you can find Kyle and Carson's Wealthy Affiliate membership site. There are other good membership sites, but if you're wondering how to make money Internet marketing, these two will definitely help.

Other ways of making money online without struggling half your life can be found in some of the better ebooks. I'm referring to the kind of ebook that concentrates on a particular strategy, rather than the kind that try to be everything to everyone, and end up being nothing to no one.

For example, there are a number of guides available telling you how to use Google AdWords to promote ClickBank, or similar, products for profit. Most of them miss the point, or don't give you enough detail, or they just don't seem to know anything more than you or me! You do not want to get a guide like that.

But luckily, there are a few exceptions. These are the real gems. The ones written by an expert who knows what works and what doesn't -- inside out. In my opinion, there are only three, maybe four such AdWords / ClickBank guides available, one or two quite expensive, the others more reasonably priced. And again, it's not always the highest priced ones that are best.

The better guides in this category range from Google Money Pro, through AdWords Miracle to Beating Adwords, in no particular order -- they are all truly excellent. And more to the point, the strategies they outline really do work!

Best Way to Make Money Online: What It Takes

By Gary Marsh

When you are thinking of ways to make money online, you likely want to know immediately what the best way to make money online is. The truth is that the answer to that varies from person to person. Everyone is different and what one person can make money on may not be easy for another person to make money on. Therefore, it is important to assess what you know and what you have in order to figure out what the best way to make money online is. Use these assessment tips to help you get started and on your way to making money online.

Your Product or Services

The first thing you need to assess is what you are trying to “sell” online. If you have a physical product to sell, you will need to figure out the best way it would be to sell that product. For instance, you need to determine if you should sell that product alone, or if it works best in groups. For instance, if you are selling pictures, you will need to determine if you want to offer them with frames or without. The way in which you present your product can have a great impact on the way it is received by your potential customers.

If you are dealing with a service, such as consulting or writing, you need to figure out how you will present your services. Perhaps you could create “packages” of services in which you would need to set prices for. Customers typically will purchase more confidently when you have everything laid out simply for them.

Avenues to Use

In addition to figuring out how you plan to market your products, you will also need to know how you plan to get them out there to the public. For instance, some people choose to use their own website and advertising to sell their products. This can be a very effective way to sell your products or services.

If you really want to catapult your business online, use Google Adwords. With Google Adwords, you don't need to worry about getting your website on the front page by making sure your use keywords correctly, getting tons on incoming links to your site, or all the other things associated with search engine optimization. It is really simple to use as long as you read the how to on Google. If you’re not careful, you could really blow all your money using wrong keywords, not setting your advertising budget, and not paying attention to your click through rate. Click through rate is all figured out for you in your Google account, so you really do not need to worry about it. Just make sure you have a click through rate of 1% or more.

One of the best ways to know if your advertising is right on is by this rate! Let's say your advertisement received 200 clicks out of 2000 page impressions and 2 of those clicks resulted in sales. There’s your one percent! There are many eBooks on Google Adwords to help you learn how to use Google Adwords effectively; I personally think you will learn all you need to know in Google’s help files. Just be sure to be using methods that bring traffic to your site so you will have customers. Google Adwords has the potential of bringing millions of potential customers to your advertisement in just minutes.

If you don’t want to worry with setting up your own home page, advertising, and website, you can always choose an alternative method of selling such as advertising your services on a blog which can be free by using Google Blogger, a message board, or an online auction site. All of these avenues can be very profitable.

As you can see, finding out what the best way to make money online is not as easy as you would think. With a little research, using the internet will help you; you can actually build yourself a highly profitable business. In fact, you need to figure that out for yourself by thinking about what your talents are and what you have to offer. Then think about what the best means for marketing and offering your products and services are. Keep playing around with ideas until you find something that works! Once you find what works for you, work it, work it, and then work it some more.

Make Money Online By Selling Information

By William Lee

The Internet has been dubbed The Information Superhighway and it certainly lives up to the name. Everyday, millions of people use the Internet and the World Wide Web to seek out information; whether it's reviews of a new dishwasher, cheapest deals on package holidays, what's on at the local theatre or tracking down old friends. Chances are, if you're looking for information, it can be found somewhere online.

Whilst the Internet is undoubtedly a rich sea of data, not all of it is useful information, relevant to the consumer. This, combined with the desire for instant gratification that the Internet instils in its users, builds up a demand for the right information - right NOW!

Despite the hype about making money quickly, easily, out of thin air or the dot com boom there is money to be made on the Internet. It's a simplification of the process, but if you're someone with the capability to meet some of this demand for information then you have an opportunity to make money online. As a supplier of information, you have the ability to help make the Internet more useful for the consumer by delivering what they want, when they want it. You can, of course, charge a fee for providing this convenience.

Whether or not you actually make a sale is another matter. Just like most other purchasing decisions, if the consumer considers the value of your offer as being greater than its cost (or the pain of not purchasing) then you're likely to make a sale. Get the balance wrong and they'll likely move on.

Whilst a lot of information is freely available online, it's widely accepted that the age of the commercial Internet has arrived. Some may argue that there shouldn't be any cost associated with information and whilst you may be able to find the same information at no cost somewhere on the Internet, often the time saved and the convenience of getting exactly what you want is considered worthy of the expense. As an example, you could try and borrow someone's copy of a newspaper or you could pay to access the latest breaking news from the comfort of your own desk. Unsurprisingly, a large number of people chose the latter when the New York Times switched to a subscription model back in 2003.

There's a great demand for information online. If you're one of the people who can supply to this demand, especially if the information is specialist or niche, then there's little to stop you from charging for your services. With a suitable marketplace to pitch your offer, there's nothing to hold you back from trying is there?
