How Can You Make Money Online – the Simple Way

Many experts believe that affiliate marketing is the easiest way to make a lot of money online. The reason this is true is because in affiliate marketing there are literally thousands of individuals and companies who are looking for people to sell their products for them. This presents a great opportunity for people who are looking to earn huge amounts of money online.

One of the many reasons affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to make a lot of money online is because of its relative simplicity. If you are not familiar with how affiliate marketing works the following is a short description of the process.

With affiliate marketing:

1)You sign up for an affiliate program with Clickbank or Commission Junction or a host of other companies where you can find products for sale.
2)You will receive an affiliate link.
3)You put this link on your website, if you have one, or in a blog or email or in your Squidoo lens.
4)You encourage people to click on your link.
5)If the person who clicks the link eventually buys the product or service you are selling then you will get a percentage or a commission of the total sale.

You can do all of the above without spending a dime!

And, affiliate commissions range from 30% to as high as 90% of the total cost of the product or service and there are many high-end products to sell that can have you making thousands of dollars per month in commissions.

The simplicity of getting started should not blind you to the fact that there is a lot of competition. Today, finding a niche that is not saturated with online marketers is much harder. But it is not impossible. In fact, every year there are tons of people who are becoming millionaires and just as many who, although they aren't millionaires yet, are making a stable income from the Internet and have quit their day jobs.

Those people have learned how to:
1)Do some market research.
2)Recognize a hot niche just waiting to be tapped.
3)Dominate their niche and beat their competition.
4)Introduce value-added services or products into that niche.
5)Streamline their promotion techniques.
6) Make lasting relationships with their customers.

Learning the right way to do affiliate marketing has paid off for them and it can pay off for you too. You can either develop your own product and sell it to your market or you can sell other people's products or services through affiliate marketing. No other method of making money online offers the flexibility and the earning potential that affiliate marketing does.

People Getting Rich Online - Niche Research

How's that list coming along? You will recall in the first part of this series I covered getting a list together of ideas for your site or blog niche. Hopefully you have a good sized list of general categories. The next steps involve narrowing the keywords and then doing some supply and demand research. There are many keyword tools out there. I like to use Overture's because it's free and easy. Keep in mind that the numbers from Overture are usually inflated — sometimes a little sometimes a lot. They fudge the numbers by counting like queries — fly and flies or affiliate and affiliates get counted as the same query. Remember — they make more money convincing their prospective advertisers that a search term is popular. So plug in one of the general search terms from your list. I'm going to try dogs.

Working in online niche markets is one of the most profitable business concepts available today. With about 1.4 billion people online in 2008 just about any imaginable niche has a good chance of succeeding. Better still; the need has never been stronger since most Website owners are using a "shotgun" approach that leaves visitors overwhelmed and craving a good niche site. That said; use these tips to get a jump start on the competition and quickly dominate any niche! Step 1: Get Small, But Not Too Small; Refine your niche to the smallest money making component. Some niches are smaller than others. The trick to finding a profitable niche is to break down your topic to its smallest profitable component. Let's say you want to sell music and music memorabilia. Well that's a pretty broad category so narrow it down a bit like this... Music > Mainstream > Top 40 > '80's > "Hair Bands" > One Hit Wonders Now, one hit wonders performed by "...
