The Best Ways To Make Money Online For Beginners

Making money online is not very difficult even for beginners. Really, making money online is not difficult. I am going to show you the best ways to make money online for beginners.

I am not talking about making fast money online. Let’s explore the proven ways to earn a sustainable income online. Please allow me to let you in on an industry secret. Making money online requires hard work and you can’t give up at the first sign of trouble.

If you are not serious or If you are a quitter, get out of here. Go kick rocks! This information is not for you.

I am sure there are ways to make money fast online I personally avoid them. The quickest way to become a victim of a scam is to try to get something for nothing. If it seems too good to be true it usually is.

The African Prince is not going to gift you $10 Million Dollars to help him get $500 Million Dollars out of the country. LOL. Especially if he needed your bank account routing numbers to do it.

Making money online is a simple process. There are many ways and many methods to choose from when looking to make money online but there are a few important things to remember first.

Time is more valuable than money. As a Minimalist, I value quality over quantity. Time once wasted or spent you can never get it back.

Amongst work, family, children, and your interest, you will have to find a way to make time and pursue making money online. Choose wisely. It’s very important to develop a routine you can actually maintain because it will become your life for a while. It will usually take twice as long as you think to reach your goals.

You will also have to develop a “the glass is always half full” mindset. You need to be like a Pit Bull with a bone (no disrespect to pit bulls). Stay with it and never give up.

With a lot of hard work and a little discipline, you can go from earning enough money to pay a few bills every money to earning a full income online.

Why Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate Marketing is hands down the easiest way to make money online and a blog is the best vehicle. It always bothers me that people spend so much time building a presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media sites.

Why build a house on someone else’s land, promote them, and make them rich? Why not create a website or blog and earn a profit from your online activity?

Affiliate Marketing is a better way to use some of the social media time. Why Affiliate Marketing? It’s easier to promote someone else’s products than to create your own. You are already promoting other people’s products and services for free. Why not get paid for it?

Instead of telling friends about restaurants, products, or services, you enjoy on social media for free, why not become an Affiliate Marketer and get paid for your opinions?

Sell as an Affiliate

Affiliate Marketing is the #1-way people are making money online. Affiliate Marketing is a marketing arrangement by which an online retailer pays a commission for traffic or sales generated from referral links on a website.

Amazon is the largest Affiliate Marketing player in the world. Once you set up an Amazon Associates account you will gain the ability to attach your personal affiliate link to any product or service Amazon offers and earn a commission from it.

As a result, you will earn commissions when someone makes a purchase from any product review or recommendation if they click one of your Affiliate Marketing links and make a purchase.

Amazon usually pays 4 to 6 percent but they also pay on whatever a visitor may purchase after clicking the Affiliate Marketers link, even 24 hours later.

This is huge! For example, if the visitor reads a product review of a backpack or a recommended backpack and the visitor clicked the link.

While on Amazon’s site, if the visitor chooses to purchase a high-end computer instead of a backpack the Affiliate Marketer will earn a 4 to 6 percent commission on the sale. For a successful site that can happen many, many times a day and yield an enormous amount of commissions.

Almost all major retailers offer affiliate programs but use Affiliate Networks to administer them. Here are the best ways to make money online from home for beginners.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is the process by which an affiliate earns a commission for marketing another person’s or company’s products. The affiliate simply searches for a product they enjoy, then promotes that product and earns a piece of the profit from each sale they make.

The more content the Affiliate Marketer creates with their affiliate link on it the more the earning potential, 24 hours a day. The Affiliate Marketer can offer anything they like for sale. The Affiliate Marketer will get the best results by choosing a small niche to offer products and services.

There are Affiliate Networks that offer every product or service under the Sun. What is your profession? Do you have hobbies or interests? What gives you joy? There are affiliate products and services to offer from those niches.

All The Affiliate Marketer needs to do is create useful content and incorporate those products and services with the Affiliate Marketers’ special affiliate links on them and the Affiliate Marketer will earn a commission every time someone clicks their affiliate link and makes a purchase.

Create useful content once and earn commissions for years. That’s how it works! Anyone can do it.

Finding Your Niche

Finding a profitable niche can be one of the most difficult processes in Affiliate Marketing. This is where the Affiliate Marketer looks to find the optimal spot between your knowledge base, the number of people interested, and the number of affiliate products available.

It’s very important the niche Affiliate Marketer chooses something they love and can see themselves possibly creating content around it for years. If the Affiliate Marketer is not an expert on the topic they must be willing to become one on the way to authority and profit.

This may seem difficult but it’s really not. Authority means the Affiliate Marketer knows a little more about a topic than their target audience. When emotion is put aside something from your knowledge base will rise to the top to become the prime candidate to power a profitable niche.

Affiliate Networks

Affiliate Networks can be an Affiliate Marketer’s best tool. They allow the Affiliate Marketer to avoid having to make private agreements with each and every product and service owner they choose to represent.

Affiliate Networks can represent thousands of retailers and product owners in one convenient place. Once the Affiliate Marketer is accepted by an Affiliate Network they will be allowed to search their database and find products and services that may fit their niche.

If the pre-negotiated commission rate is acceptable the affiliate marketer can then apply to that provider and when accepted is allowed access to the marketing material and personal affiliate links to begin earning commissions.

Here are a few of the more popular Affiliate Networks below:

Cj Affiliate

ClickBank

FlexOffers

Impact

JVZoo

Rakuten Marketing

ShareASale

Many retailers use Affiliate Networks to manage their Affiliate Programs, the larger ones manage their own. The recent phenomenon of In-store pick up is something Amazon is not able to offer and your visitors may enjoy when choosing your affiliate links.

Google Adsense

Google Adsense is the fastest way for a blog or website with a good amount of traffic to make money online. The way it works is the Affiliate Marketer creates a free Google Adsense account that allows them to place Google advertisements on a website or blog they own.

When a visitor to one of those sites clicks on any of the Ads the Affiliate Marketer gets paid from $0.1 to $5 or even more. Google uses its Analytics algorithm and your keywords to place the targeted ads for your visitors.

I know what you are thinking. The Affiliate Marketer could sit home all day clicking ads on a website or blog they own and earn thousands of dollars a day. Well, that would be considered spam, and Google will suspend that account and forfeit any earnings.

Do I need to explain why having an Affiliate Marketer’s friends click their ads is a bad idea? LOL. Google’s Analytics is powerful and they have seen it all. They also usually err on the side of caution. They tend to act at the first hint of a problem so play by the rules.

Start a blog

Anyone serious about making money online needs to start a blog. Hands-down blogs are the easiest and most affordable way to make money online from home.

I would suggest the potential blogger invest in quality training to prevent years of wasting time doing what they believe is correct and will prove to be incorrect.

The training should cover blog setup, finding the right niche, content, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), and visitor conversion. This may seem complicated but with a little work, anyone can do it and earn location-independent income online.

There is a right and wrong way to do this. Don’t allow those who choose to wing it (and fail) to discourage you from starting a profitable blog. Get the correct training and become profitable within 6 to 18 months of hard work.

Email Marketing

Email Marketing usually consists of using email software and offering a lead magnet (Ebook, Coupon, Newsletter, Guide, or other useful information) in exchange for a visitor’s email address to build a list.

The list Email Marketer will feed that list into a pre-designed sales funnel to offer useful products and services periodically to hopefully gain sales. The Email Marketer will need to deliver value to the subscribers and not just constant sales pitches to be successful in building a profitable list. The Email Marketer should ALWAYS offer value first.

Industry lore states that an email list should earn $1 per subscriber per month. If this holds true and the Email Marketer owns a list of 100 subscribers the list should earn $100 a month. A list of 1000 subscribers should earn $1000, a list of 10,000 should earn $10,000, and so on.

Do you smell what I am cooking here? LOL. I see the wheels turning in your head. That is just a guide and food for thought.

(This is an ADVANCED technique. First get the training to learn SEO, Niche building, Content Creation, and Visitor Conversion).

Webinars Training

If the Affiliate Marketer has built an audience and has authority in their chosen niche Webinars can be a powerful way to earn large amounts of income online.

I suggest the Affiliate Marketer have a website or blog but it is not necessary. Anyone can run a profitable webinar with a large social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and the like).

Once there is an audience all that is needed is the skill or expertise to create useful information and have a useful product or service to offer at the end of the Webinar. Webinars are work-intensive but the sweat equity usually pays off.

Go To Webinar does a great job of explaining the basics of creating Webinars.

I believe live webinars are more authentic and convert better. Obviously, they require more work. Recording a webinar and using it over and over is more attractive for more obvious reasons. LOL.

It can be difficult to distinguish between a recorded or live Webinar for the visitor. If the Webinar shares valuable information and the presenter do not try to mislead the visitor into believing it’s life I believe recorded Webinars are fine to use.

Avoid The Mistakes I Made

I believe I have made every possible mistake that can be made in my Affiliate Marketing career. Here are a few I believe a new Affiliate Marketer should avoid.

• Get All of the training you can afford. It will save you years of time and actually save you money.
• Learn SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Avoid PPC (Pay Per Click) and tactics like Facebook Ads.
• Do not use shortcuts to get better SEO ranking or traffic to a website or blog.
• Learn keyword research and use long-tail keywords.
• Get a quality WordPress Theme and quality Web Hosting as soon as you can.
• Create useful content on a regular schedule (at least once a week in the beginning).
• Never give up. Earning money online is like turning a ship. It’s slow and takes time but once it gets going lookup. It’s almost impossible to stop.

Conclusion

I believe anyone can use these tips to earn a living online. Some have a learning curve and some work better in conjunction with others.

I believe you will be more successful in creating a website or blog but there are others making massive amounts of money online with YouTube and Instagram.
