Need to make money fast, but you don't want to spend a single cent to
establish an online business? Fret not, dear friend. You could actually
start earning from the web with zero capital, zero obligations and zero
risks! All these can be accomplished within 24 hours! Read on and I'll
show you how.
Hour 1
Try to find a profitable niche. Niches are highly specialized segments
of a market where the demand is high and the supplies are low. There are
few competitions in a niche, allowing you more opportunity to establish
your online presence.
Think of a market that you could cater to. Then narrow it down by
enumerating its subcategories. The more you are able to reduce the
subject, the higher the profitability will be. For example, the general
market you thought of is about dogs. A subcategory of this would be
about Chihuahuas. A further subcategory would be about Chihuahua
grooming.
Hour 2
Once you have found your niche, run a search at http://www.inventory.overture.com or http://www.nichebot.com .
The results would show how many searches were made for that subject.
The more searches there are, the higher the demand is for that topic.
Run a similar search of the same subject in any of the search engines on
the net. The results would reveal your competition. Naturally, you
would want a subject that has less competition. This would mean that
you're looking for one that would produce few results in your searches.
Hour 3
Once you've found a lucrative niche, it's time to look for its relevant keywords. Run a search of the topic at https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordSandbox to get a list of related keywords and keyphrases. Keep a copy of this list.
Hour 4
Open an account with a free blogging site. Or, if you already have your own website, download the Wordpress software at http://www.wordpress.com . It's free. And Wordpress can be easily integrated with any website.
Set up your account. Fiddle with the controls. You'll discover that
using a blog is as easy as writing down your thoughts and clicking on a
button to publish them for all the online world to see.
Hour 5
Enroll in any affiliate program of your choice. You could choose more
than one, of course. Just make sure that such program is offering some
products that cater to the niche you have chosen. Try to find a program
that offers highly sellable products and generous commissions. Don't
settle for a commission rate of less than 20%. Look for something that
would give you at least 40% for every successful sale you would be able
to refer. A good place to start is http://www.clickbank.com , but eventually you would want to "graduate" to something grander. But for your initial foray, ClickBank would suffice.
After enrollment, you would be able to immediately choose the products
you want to pre-sell. Get the affiliate links for them. Do not lose
these affiliate links.
Hour 6
It's time to put that blog to good use! The premise heart of this
budget-friendly strategy is your blog. Blogs are excellent and
cost-effective alternatives to websites. Search engines love them, and
they have their own linking network as well. Also, they are easily
updatable, and search engine spiders love consistently updated content.
Write an interesting piece about the niche you have chosen. It may be a
personal review of one of your affiliate products, or your views on the
niche in general.
The trick here lies in being able to strategically insert your affiliate
links in your blog entries. It must be subtle. You won't want your blog
to look like a blatant sales page. Your entries should be highly
informative, first and foremost. Content is still king, and it is what
will drive visitors to your site.
Hour 7
Go to http://www.pingomatic.com .
Ping the blog directories and the search engines that can be found
there. This would inform their spiders that your content has been
updated, and they will check it out come the next relevant query. What
does this mean? Fast indexing for your blog site!
So there you go. A zero dollar, seven hour marketing plan that would
rake in some earnings. It doesn't stop there, however. Try to post a new
entry everyday, and ping the search engines afterwards. Soon enough,
you'll have a high traffic blog site where you could expose your
affiliate links to a whole lot of people!
Good luck!
