How To Start Making Money For Free

Before the days of Web 2.0 and all the free social networking services you used to have your own domain name and web site to have a money making internet business. Today however you can "test the waters" of internet marketing or finding a new targeted niche absolutely free.

8 Steps To Making Money Online For Free

  1. Choose your niche - Before you do anything else you need to pick the types of products or services you want to sell and then become an affiliate for these things.

  2. Build your list of keywords and phrases - Select keywords and phrases related to the types of things your going to be selling. This list contains the actual words and phrases that people are searching for on the major search engines.

  3. Create you free blog or social networking site - When you name your free site be sure to use 1 or more of your keywords or phrases in the name. Try to keep it fairly short and very easy to remember.

  4. Build your list of keywords and phrases for the product you're going to write about - Again, this list contains the words and phrases people are searching for when they are looking for information related to your first product.

  5. Create the title for your article - Your title should contain 1 or more of your keywords or phrases.

  6. Write your article - When you write your review or summary article about your product write in a conversational style, sprinkle some of your keywords and keyword phrases in the content and be sure to include your affiliate link.

  7. Post your article - Put your article on your Web 2.0 free site.

  8. Repeat steps 4 - 7 often.

You'll notice I didn't title the steps as quick or easy. The truth is, while they are quick and easy if you know how there is a learning curve to knowing how to do them correctly.

Here are 3 of examples for what I mean about "knowing how":

  • When you choose your niche you need to find out if people in that niche actually buy things online and what types of products they buy.

  • To build your keyword and phrase lists you need to know how to do keyword research.

  • If you don't like or know how to write content you need to learn some of the techniques for creating content for non-writers.

So yes it has never been easier to have a free online presence and it can be absolutely free to start money making online. However, you need to invest your time into learning what to research and how to do it. You need to learn how to set up your free blog or site. You need to learn how to write content to sell. And above all you need to learn patience because making money online for free isn't usually quick and easy.

To Your Success,
