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.

Things To Sell For Really Big Profits

First let me say that I'm not promoting John Reese's Traffic Secrets 2.0 that was released yesterday. I'm just using it as an example for 1 way to make some really big profits. So if you're like John Reese with a giant sized list, a ton of "super" affiliates and a product or service that sells for hundreds of dollars then you too could make thousands of dollars in just a few days.

Unfortunately more online marketers aren't like John Reese. They don't have thousands of people on their mailing list. They don't have "super" affiliates to push their product. And if they have something to sell that costs hundreds of dollars it's not their own product but they're using an affiliate link to sell someone else's.

So how do these online marketers make money?

Well, they don't make a lot of money by competing with people like John Reese or any of his super affiliates.

Yes, it's possible they might make a sale if they send a mailing to their small list however it's doubtful. You see, they can't move fast enough to create a bonus-if-you-buy-from-me page and fill it with gifts worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. So while their sending their ad to their list, their list is receiving tons of other email for the same product and those mailings all lead to pages offering a lot of extras.

Now before you give up because you can't compete with the John Reeses on the web let me tell you that there are other things to sell to make money. You probably won't make hundreds of thousands of dollars in a few days but you can make money.

And 1 of the things to sell for really big profits is small reports. Small digital reports are only a few pages (7 - 15) in length. They don't cost anything to produce but the time it takes to write them unless you hire a writer. And when you sell them you get to keep all the money unless you've got your own affiliate program and must share with your affiliates.

And because I'd like you to at least investigate the possibility of making money through small reports I'm giving you an ebook written by Jimmy D. Brown. If you don't know who he is he's a very successful online marketer who has been giving away free content for more than 7 years.

"5 Steps To A Big-Profit, S.M.A.L.L.™ Report Business" is only 24 pages long so it will only take a few minutes to read. In it you will see that he is promoting a product. But more importantly you will actually get the 5 steps to making money by writing small reports and you don't need to buy his product to use the steps.

So get your free copy of "5 Steps To A Big-Profit, S.M.A.L.L.™ Report Business", read it and then decide if small reports are a way for you to make money online.

To Your Success,

P.S. With all the emails about Traffic Secrets 2.0 this week you may have missed those about Russell Brunson's Affiliate Landmine. He's refurbished it and he is now selling licenses that allow you to sell memberships to Affiliate Landmine and keep 100% of the profit. If you sold 500 memberships you could make $19.95 X 500 memberships = $9,975 a month. (The first 100 partners get 500 memberships and then it drops to 300 memberships.)

Membership sites are another thing to sell and make really big money. And with 1 of these licenses you can get 100% of the reoccurring income without creating and maintaining your own.

Warning: This is a super opportunity only for experienced online marketers. If you do not know how to get traffic and write good sales copy then it's not for you. If you do know how to get targeted traffic then check Russell's offer before he sells out.
