Whats the fuss in earning a living on-line

What does it take to earn a living in the internet? For those who failed, for those who want to earn(Advertising phrase) and for those who just want to know how. This is a question ask by everyone and answered in different ways by individuals concerned. So, what ever shoes your in, there is no doubt that you'll need to address the question at hand to achieve great success on-line and it start with you, your website, product or service and finally traffic and plenty of it, of course in reference to website either its your own or someone else. Whatever type of website your using to make money on, both has its own pros and cons, depending on the number of website your actually maintaining. Let say for example your promoting a certain site (not your own) and want to expand your business other than the previews, then you'll have another sites to promote on-line, obviously dividing your time and efforts for both sites, and as new opportunities comes along, maintaining these sites will certainly be tedious to down right impossible. If your concentrating on just one business which is totally fine except that your missing out on other opportunities that may turn out to be a great prospect. Of course this is a great issue among marketeers specially those lacking success and more prone to failures. On the other hand, successful marketeers solve this dilemma through integration of sites or through multitasking, what marketeers usually do is to create a site for all their on-line business, sort of a hub where visitor can view products and services being offered, useful tips and other information etc. I've been in the on-line home business for 5 years "wait" that doesn't main I'm a guru on the contrary I'm just a humble marketeer doing an honest living on the net. What I'm trying to say is that, I've seen many ups and down for myself and from others, I've tried lots of ways, I've also seen lots of business offers that promises easy short cuts to success by skipping the basic steps behind, like being hurled by a catapult and ended up overshooting itself to virtual nil. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "ladders to success" but this is totally important if you wish to engage in on-line enterprise or you might already be into it.

So back to the Question, What does it take to earn a living on the net?

Allow me to break the answer gently.

It starts with you.

Yes, in the grand scheme of things that is on-line money making, everything start and ends with you what ever the outcome is, hence the question. What does it take to earn a living on the net? oddly enough the answer to this question is the result of your actions be it good or bad. Are you motivated enough to go through the competition and try to end up at the top of the game. Most marketeer sadly falls to the count the chick before it hatch category which explain the 95% failure rate. The only tips I can give you is to find your motivation, set your goal, be patience, persevere and most of all give your self the biggest help by doing some work and research on how to improve your business instead of waiting to be spoon feed like a baby by your up-line who like you is more likely doing the very same thing as what your hoping for. Have you ever fallen on the catch phrase fast or easy or instant money? Although there are companies that do delivers what they promise, they use this phrase mainly to make a sales obviously. And oddly enough adding you in the equation in advance as if you have already succeeded, nothing wrong with that though. The problem begin with the person itself, My point is if you want to earn be creative.
Note. There are just as many drop-out from legitimate on-line businesses as those who were actually being scammed.

The second step, Product and service.

One can't really do any business if one has nothing to offer, now that goes without saying. Of all the steps to be taken by far this is the easiest, but for others this seems to be the most difficult for some reason, which often results to skepticism. What most people tend to forget is that the internet is largely devoted to commerce plain point and simple. There are companies, individuals, groups or whatever, that are more than willing to have you help them make sales and gladly share that sale with you, and that's a fact. From Google to ebay, from affiliate market site to domain names, its virtually all over the net just look out for scammers.

Third step "My Website" SRW, blogs and specialized website.

In On-line Enterprising a website is a required must. Most on-line business companies and affiliate programs offer SRW or Self Replicating Website to its members, to cut the hassle time of actually building one yourself. They do work wonders to an extent, and usually use in direct prospecting like email advertising and such rather than the use of search engine ranking though optimization or directories which is possible to a degree. But what most successful on-line entrepreneur aside from using their own SRW sites is to actually creating their own website, a blog or a specialized site. Unlike SRW, blogs and specialized website can easily employ SEO technique because of it's uniqueness among many other reasons. My point to this is that, Unlike SRW site the flexibility it creates and the opportunity it provide can certainly bring for yourself a torrent of income that is virtually unparalleled.

Of course not all of us are bless with brains to whip up a great website in an instant nor has everyone have all the time in the world to create such an internet masterpiece. It takes time effort and at times even monetary resources, though there are free site builders which one can employ on their business. Yet there are also classier ones, which are actually business ready website builder. Which are more eye catching and more prone to sales than what free site builder can offer.


Like this one for instance





I find this site builder to be a no brainer, you simply can't go wrong with it not to mention a seal of money back guarantee.

Final Step to success "website traffic"

Whats the use of having a great website if no one is visiting. If you read the first line carefully then you'll understand the importance of web traffic. Traffic is everything for a website and poor traffic is one of the reason why on-line home business is somewhat a difficult undertaking. But for those who funnel massive traffic to there website its a moment of utmost eureka.
So, how do we build traffic for our website. Here are some of the methods in how to get massive traffic for your site and I've listed five.

Advertising
Like many methods which I'm about to mention, this a bit tricky not to mention it actual cost much depending where you place your ads campaign and that is the tricky part. There are plenty of advertising site that fits your budget. The trick to this is to know your niche and how your ads are delivered by the advertising firm. Otherwise you'll be wasting your time and resources on a fruitless endeavor.

SEO Search Engine Optimization
This method simply put is to have your website listed at the first page of search engine results. This is done through specific keyword of your niche that is being optimized including back-links which determines the popularity of your website. There are lots of way in optimizing your site including programs and companies that do the optimizing for you. What ever the case may be Search Engine Optimization can insure your success if done properly.

Social Media, Social Networks and Social Bookmarking
Having your site listed to this high rank sites can increase your website reputation not to mention the exposure it gives to your site. Of course this depends largely on the number of people you are connected to. With this method you can sum it up with the more the merrier category.

Traffic Exchange
Basically traffic exchange means view my site and I'll view yours in turn. This can ultimately increase your traffic but it does not actually spell success that is money in your pocket. The reason behind this is that, all those who join traffic exchange like yourself want to make money or gain some degree of site visits, obviously like yourself they don't want to spend money on something you and they ironically have, referring to offers or business opportunity which is often found in traffic exchange sites, hence the poor quality of visitors to your site. Though from time to time there may be some degree of good results from such exchange sites, but that depends on the quality, niche and what your site is actually offering beating the competition.

Email Advertising
Of all the methods I've discuss so far this one can put you behind bars. But I'm not gonna tell you how to put yourself on that predicament so don't worry. This tricky method requires usually a landing page or catch page or whatever that has an email and name subscription form, in which the victim (just kidding) put his/her name and email address which in turn goes to an email responder, and then let the email advertisement bombardment begin. Many of these site offers information or some sort of leverage or what ever that entices prospect to type in there name and email. This is just one of the ways to do email advertising or at least the first step leading to email advertising. Like I mention before (the behind the bars consequence) this method has plenty of rules to follow or else the consequence, unless your living outside the western hemisphere like Africa for instance.

Success in done by steps, each steps an effort. So study it and do it properly.
Hope you learn something on this post, until then
