Make Money Online In Legitimate Ways


Everyone seems to be searching for a way to make money online. We are all in search of an easier way, an easier lifestyle. But, there are just so many scams these days. Many individuals have gotten burned by these scams offering ways to make money online. I myself got scammed by a survey program offering to help me make money online. Granted, some surveys programs are genuine and legit. I was very frustrated but I continued to search for another option. I continued to see ads for work from home opportunities and ways to make money online. I researched a few and tried to weed out the legit ones. I thought about the fact that I wanted an easier lifestyle and I wanted to start planning for my future. I started thinking about working from home and making money online seriously. Most importantly, I thought about finding a way to make recurring income (residual income).

Many online advertisements offering to help individuals make money online are sadly scams. The truth is it really takes time and effort to build a prosperous internet business and make money online. I spent a great deal of time doing research and ended up spending income I couldn't afford to be spending. Several times I started to give up, but something in me held on and kept searching. I thought if there is really a way to make money online, I have to find it. I guess it was hope and stubborn persistence that took over. One day, I did in fact uncover a validated and legitimate way to successfully generate more income and specifically, residual income. I found myself geared towards affiliate programs as an effective way to make money online. I wanted and needed a validated system that would help me to make money online. Being a total newbie to affiliate marketing, I figured I needed to learn from someone who was successful at it. I wanted a simple and effective explanation of how to start and what to do. That is when I came across the Plug in 4 Profit system. Initially, I was very skeptical. But after I researched it thoroughly I found it to be a legitimate way to make money online. I then joined and haven't looked back or had regrets.

After some time, I started to realize the benefits of promoting other people's products, programs, and services. As an affiliate, I found internet marketing to be a great way to make additional income. The most promising aspect of all was the opportunity for residual income. I actually found it sort of exciting placing my own ads and marketing. Actually, it was much easier to make money online than I had previously thought. Best of all, I discovered various affiliate programs that offered tutorials and support. Persistence and consistency are crucial when it comes to making money online. You will only see beneficial results to your work if you can be committed to consistency. Devoting a few hours a day for 5 to 6 days a week is all you need. Of course working more than that will create more income. But the time you choose to devote is best spent promoting services or products in high demand. Consider the wants and needs of the everyday consumer.

I say don't get discouraged by the scams out there. It can be disheartening to think you have found an answer, a genuine way to make money online, only to soon realize you were taken once again. I'd have to say it was my persistence however, that lead me to finding the answer for me. The persistence has definitely paid off. Persistence is crucial if you want to make money online. Be weary of those individuals offering to make you millions overnight. Money can be made online but have realistic expectations. When it comes to businesses, it takes time to build something successful. Just don't give up. For me, I told myself I would give my business around 6 to 9 months to make good sales. Within the first 3 months I started generating sales. Give it time and the possibilities are endless. Your ability to make sales is dependant on your effort and commitment. The more effort, the more sales.

Things to keep in mind when to make money online


Ever heard the phrase : build and they will come?

On the web, it's more like,build it, promote it consistently, distinguish yourself in some way, and maybe they will come. There are millions upon millions of websites. It's simply not possible to slap together a website, dump it online, and wait for the money to come rolling in. Making money online can be done, but all of the people who did, have worked hard to achieve what they have.

If you be honest to yourself you know you will have to do something to make money online. Are you also tired of all those programs that promise you big money without any investment of time, money or work? It is no breaking news if I tell you those programs don't work. let's be honest! If you could make big money by doing nothing. Why aren't we all millionaires then? Why are they still advertising and working their program? I think you can guess.

They Tell you that you can be rich very quickly.
This should put you on high alert! If it sounds too good to be true, it
usually is. While we would all like to be able to make $ 500 a day,
starting from our first day and continuing into infinity, it isn't very
likely.

You're told that you don't need to do any work-they do it all
for you.

You cannot be successful without putting in a lot of hard work

You're told that anyone can make money. Again, not
true. If that were true, we'd all be rich. The internet is a goldmine of opportunity, no doubt about that.....but it's like any other opportunity: some people will do well, other's won't. The internet only gives you the home based work opportunity; you have to shape that opportunity. Being told that anyone can get rich off their program is misleading.

You'll have to be comfortable with your computer
You will do everything with your computer. You will have an Email program. Online Business reports. With a good program an online training program. etc etc. You don't have to be a wizzkid. You will get coaching and training to learn. But you must feel comfortable with your computer and ready to learn some tricks.

You must be willing to make a time commitment
Without doing any work you make $ 2500 the first month! Do you really believe this? Again, we would all be millionaires. The internet is like the real world; you'll have to work to make money online. Don't be fooled into thinking that home based business opportunities are an easy way to make money online. It is true 99% of the work is done by the company. As an affiliate you'll do 1% of the work. But you're doing the hardest part of the work. Sure, your only job is to advertise- but that requires a great deal of learning and effort. It's not as simple as throwing a banner on your website. You have to put forth a effort in order to make money online; if you're not motivated to make your home based business opportunity work, you won't do well.

You'll have to spend a little money to invest
Did you ever hear of building a business without investing any money?
On the other hand we don't want to spend much, so better spend it wisely.

Computer system - You don't need a top-of-the-line machine. Get a good computer that will serve your current and your projected short-term future needs well. Be sure to get anti virus software and a firewall as well.
Reference books - I do think investing in a few good reference manuals are well worth the time, effort, and money they save you. And they do save you money in the long run-you can learn from other people's experiences and avoid making same mistakes.
Email software - Most computer systems come installed with Email software.
HTML editor - You don't need an HTML editor; you can create your web pages using Notepad if you like. Beginners often like WYSIWYG editors. WYSIWYG stand for : What you see is what you get. All this means is that you'll be able to drag and drop items using this editor so that you can immediately see what your web page looks like. In other words, you don't need to know HTML.
Domain name registration.
Website hosting
Internet access fees
Mailing list management
Advertising
SE/index reviews. You can get a great deal of targeted traffic to your website from the major search engines and indexes.

To get anywhere in life you"ll have to work hard. Here are a few tips to help you work on your business:

Drop the negativity - for example, instead of moaning about how you still haven't made any money, focus instead on how great it will be to make your first sale. Believe me, that first sale is an incredible feeling! It will energizes you in a way that's hard to describe.

Take it one small step a time - There's no point in setting a lofty goal, only to fail at achieving it. A bunch of small steps will eventually lead to the achievement of a larger goal.

Re-prioritize - There is no way that anyone can do everything. Let small things go while you concentrate on your business.

Be willing to make a few smart investments - While we would all prefer to spend nothing and make millions, it's simply not realistic.it takes money to make money.

Force yourself to do a little most days - sometimes it is hard. You will have to drag yourself to the computer every single day to do 5 small tasks-and not having seen a single sale. But in the end it will pay off; there will be a point where you quit your job and make money online.

Stay 100% focused on what you want - Keep your final destination firmly in mind: do you want to be able to spend more time with the kids? Do you simply want to leave the stress of the corporate world? Do you simply want the independence and sense of achievement that comes from running your own business? Imagine what it will be like once you achieve it. Focus on why you want the business in the first place; it will help to keep you motivated.

Only you can change the course of your live. So what are you waiting for? Get going!

Searching for an Online Money Making Idea?


As word spreads of people who are becoming rich from the internet many of us are left to wonder is their really money to be made online? The answer is yes.

You might think to make money online you will need to create a website. Starting a website is a great online money making idea but many of us don't have the expertise to create our own website or the money to have some one design it for us. Luckily there is an online money making idea that doesn't require a website. This online money making idea is called affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing involves selling other people's products by sending traffic to their website through your unique affiliate link. Any time you make a sale you will get paid a commission. Some affiliate programs pay as high as 50 to 75% per sale.

There are two ways to get the traffic to the vendors site. First you can buy the traffic. The easiest way to do this is through pay per click advertising. Either google or yahoo have pay per click programs that you can sign up for. Once registered you can create ads and bid on the search terms related to those ads. Every time someone is compelled to click on you ad you pay the bid price for that click. This can be an effective method for generating traffic to an affiliate site but it can also be quite costly if not watched carefully.

The second and free way to generate traffic to a vendors website is to use article marketing. You will have to write compelling articles on topics that are related to the product you are promoting and persuade the reader to click on your affiliate link. There are many sites like Ezine Articles.com that will allow you to post articles for free. Article marketing takes a considerable of time and work but it is the only free online money making idea I know of that will produce results.

There are a handful of great online money making ideas that can really make you money online. There is also a great deal to be lost. That is why you need to find an online money making idea that is tried and tested. Right now, The Ultimate Wealth Package is the #1 online money making idea and home business opportunity on the web today. It offers a custom affiliate website that is valued at $400 for absolutely free of cost. The book discusses affiliate marketing in further depth than I have here and also reveals more online money making ideas.

Are all online money making programs scams?


There are so many online money making programs out there, but are all of them scams?

Let's look at the captions below from some Online money making programs:-

"I WILL DOUBLE YOUR MONEY IN 2 DAYS!", "150% IN 3 DAYS!" "GET PAID TO SURF WEBSITES!""GET PAID $50 TO READ YOUR EMAILS"

After reading all this, you get excited. You will beg, borrow and steal money just to join these programs. You dig out every cent of your savings with the thought that you can be rich overnight. You will sell everything that you have and when its time for you to collect your so call "earnings". They disappear. YOU LOST ALL YOUR MONEY.

Please don't even bother with these sleazy programs no matter how good their slogan is. They will suck the money out of you before you can even say money. There are so many other ways to make money online such as selling products online and online advertising. Most of the internet millionaires succeeded in making their doing just that.

You will start asking questions like what products to sell? How do I sell them? How much can I earn? How to market these products? Where to find these products? Do I need to make my own products? How much capital is needed? How to make a website to sell these products? When? How? What? The questions are endless. You are curious, ambitious and raring to start but you are totally clueless and lost. You have the fear of making a mistake and lose money.

You badly need a TEACHER who will train you and guide you all the way until you succeed. That individual must be able to give you the proper advice and teach you the proper strategies to make a lot of money online. What kind of teacher?

Obviously, you need an expert. Someone who had been through it all, who had done the work, someone highly experienced and are really making a lot of money online as we speak, you need an online money making GURU. These GURUs don't even bother to look into these "Get rich quick" programs. They are wise enough not to get scammed and they are honest enough NOT to scam anybody. They provide simple to follow E-Books, great video tutorials, great support 24/7 and you only have to pay less than $90 ONCE just to enroll LIFELONG!! That's super cheap for the lifetime of knowledge. I bet you are wriggling in your seats right now, itching to get started.

There are many "GURUs" out there who provide online money making courses at low cost. Some provide high quality course, some are just plain useless. You can't possibly sign up with all of them unless you are already a rich man, then I don't see why you even need to enroll into any of these courses. I strongly recommend 2 of the best online course available right now. What are they? Please visit

I have prepared in depth reviews for each of these courses so that it is easy for you to make your choice. Good luck and start making money online now!!

Online Business Opportunity


Disregard your preconceived ideas or negative discussions in regards to unsuccessful work at home businesses. There are many home based business opportunities online which are extremely profitable.

There is a great deal of information dedicated to declaring the so called work at home Internet Millionaires to be frauds and scammers. Certainly there are fraudsters and scammers in the online home based business arena but they are far outnumbered by the legitimate work at home marketers who are most willing to help you to be successful.

You may well ask why do these people want to help ME to success? In the majority of cases the power of the Internet is based on the amazing power of multi level marketing in one form or another. You may have heard of the safety in numbers and the law of average plan, which encourages you to multiply the numbers in your team and so escalate your own income. The more time you spend helping others, the greater will be your rewards, both financially and emotionally. The more you grow your own team, the more successful you will become. If you dedicate more time helping others to get what they want you are increasing the possibility of your achievement. There is no secret about this. We want you to be very successful, so where would be the advantage to us in giving you incorrect information? We want you to have all we have learned.

Several successful Internet entrepreneurs offer a home based business system which they have spent hours of research and millions of dollars putting into place. These very successful people are very supportive and always willing to help. Their systems come at limited financial investment to you and if you are prepared to copy, copy, copy, and learn, learn, learn, you will make money online too.

Your success begins with you. Once you have decided on which system to follow the result is up to you. You are not responsible for the way others decide to follow the system but you must lead by example. Always remember you are the captain of this ship and the more you teach your team the more successful your team will become as they reach their work at home goals and so create wealth for themselves and also for you.

My belief is that when you have a legitimate money making system and you are prepared to be diligent and consistent and lead by example you also will become an Internet Millionaire. It will not happen overnight, but with consistent application and an openness to soak up the entire documented information, pass all that you have learned onto as many others as possible, then you will be the owner of your destiny.

One of the most popular ways to make extra money on the internet is to get paid to take internet surveys.

Why do companies pay people to participate in giving their opinions in surveys? Companies use paid surveys and focus groups to gather consumer opinions on many kinds of services and new products. This information is used by companies to to help their marketing and products development.

Business that do market research do all the questioning and focus groups. Fortune 500 business like Wal-Mart and Cole Cola use research companies to gather data on all opinion results that will be used in development and new product marketing. Research businesses have the expertise to set and run survey questions and to get unbiased results.

Market research companies run two types of surveys and focus groups online and off line. Off line focus groups are are 6-12 men and women that gather around a table in which a moderator will ask the people what they think about a certain product. Offline focus groups are more likely to focus on things you can taste or see. The average off line group last about two hours with the time focused on one product with everybody giving their views. Off line groups are paid $30-$200 for each session.

Internet paid surveys and focus groups are a cost effective way for market research companies to get the same data as off line groups, in a faster more efficient way. Online focus groups usually consist of 8-10 people in a chat room setting where they will watch a video or listen to a commercial. The focus groups are watched by a person from the company and they can talk with the research moderator and ask you questions. Internet paid surveys pay about $10-$70 and take about a half hour, while online focus groups last from one to two hours and pay you between $30-$150 per marketing session.

There are actually quite a few free ways to make money online. It really just depends on your personal talents, interests, ect. Most businesses don't take a lot of money to start either. It only cost less than $9.00 for a domain name for your website for a year and you can get cheap hosting for under $5.00 a month. I don't recommemd that you get any hosting that's free. It looks very unprofessional and it will also have other people's ads on the pages. Anyone that's been online for any amount of time will recognize a free hosting page right off the bat and click off your page in a heartbeat. Would you do business with someone too cheap to spend $5.00 a month? Here are a free ways to make money online.


Ebay

Ebay is still a great opportunity, if you know how to properly monetize it. The competition on Ebay is huge and prices are driven down to a bare minimum in most markets, however, savvy marketer's have ways of making BIG bucks using Ebay as a catapult to building huge lists of prospects and customers. Get to know the right people and don't focus on physical products and you can make a ton of money with Ebay.

Affiliate Marketing

There are virtually unlimited affiliate programs online. You can sell physical products, services or downloadable information and software. The sky is the limit. You can get started here by simply doing some good keyword research, finding a market on something that you enjoy doing, join 1-3 related affiliate programs and setting up a blog. Start posting to it regularly and within a month or two you should start seeing decent traffic and a few sales. Of course, there's much more to it than that, but that should get you started down the right path. Good luck!

How To Really Make Money Online


It seems to be all the rage recently. Everyone thinks that they're going to make money online by setting up a website, throwing up an offer and some content and watching the big bucks start magically rolling in, but anyone that is actually making money online knows that it's hard work and there's no such thing as "magic money". So what exactly do you need to do to make money online? Well, the first thing you need to do is roll up your sleeves. No, I'm not talking about getting ready to go to work, I'm talking about getting ready to duke it out with the many thousands of other aspiring new Internet marketer's that want to start by stepping all over your toes and then work their way up until you submit and either quit or look for another niche. Yes, in some markets it IS that competitive. Don't get discouraged though. There's still plenty of pie left so you can still have a slice of it, but you'll need to start by doing the following things. Read on...


#1. Find your real passion in life, or at least try to. Many experts will tell you to come online and do what you love to do to make a living. That's all well and fine, but if the market that you love is saturated with half a BILLION others that "love" it as much or more than you do then you're probably going to be disappointed. However, it doesn't mean that you still can't do something that you "like" to do, "enjoy" doing or know a lot about. Make a list of 10-20 things that you love, like, enjoy, don't mind doing and know a lot about and then research them until you find something that's not too competitive and where there's some competition already. Competition is a good thing because it means that people are making money in that market. Also, make certain that you've got a product or service to sell that people WANT, not "Need". Trust me on this one.

#2. Find someone else that's successful at what it is that you want to do and mimic everything they're doing. Buy every book, ebook, course, ect. that this person has to offer and then see if they offer "one on one" mentoring. Make certain that what they're doing is realistic first. I do NOT recommend MLM, Network Marketing, Pyramids or anything like them.

#3. Get ready to work your rear end off. I still put in 50-60 hours per week, but I also enjoy what I'm doing. You'll get to a point in your business where you can begin outsourcing quite a bit of it. This will free up more of your time to either spend with your family, focus on new projects or simply enjoy life.


There are a few "gaps" in this plan that will need to be filled, but that's really about it in a nutshell. Make certain that there's a market for what you're trying to do, make sure there's some competition, find someone who's doing well in it, learn everything you can and get to work. Best of luck to you!

Ways To Make Money Online By Taking the Time


It has been occurring to me more and more as I progress with my online business that people just starting out are really excited to find ways to make money online, and make it fast!

After some time, you come to realize that this is either a scam, or a legitimate business opportunity. If you started with some careful research and a plan, then you may be one of the lucky ones who winds up with a solid business.

It's a sad fact that at least 95% of all people who start an online business - trying to find ways to make money online - will fail and quit within their first 6 months in business.

I've come to realize that much of what it takes to make money online is simply this: Time.

Here are 5 reasons why time is so important to your success:

Getting Your Business Up and Running

Time will allow you to get started in your new business venture. You will find your way around your new site, scan through the training program, visit all the links on your site to see where they go, read all your new emails, and see how you can advertise your new business.

In this phase, unless you're a genius, you're fooling yourself if you expect to get rich quick, or even see any money at all for that matter.

Learning New Things/Applying What You've Learned

You need to take the time to start learning. Look for ways to make money online with your business by reading all the training provided.

Be sure that your learning does not stop at reading. It is equally important to start applying what you've learned. This does not mean purchasing everything that is suggested and emptying your wallet towards advertising techniques in hopes that this will bring you to riches quicker. Do that, and your plan will backfire on you, no doubt!

Only time will tell you where your money will be most wisely spent for you. You can't possibly know this right off the bat. Be prepared to lose some money initially, and take the time to learn and try some things out, and see what works best for you.

Meeting, Networking With, and Helping the Right People

Building an online business and finding ways to make money online involves a lot more interaction with people than you may have initially thought. You are not learning all you can unless you are learning from others who are already at a place that you eventually want to be.

Discussion forums in your chosen niche are the best way to meet and network with others in your business. Also having a newsletter list and communicating regularly with your subscribers will really help you down the line.

This is a key technique if you want to make money online, and time will allow you to build these necessary relationships, or at least an online "presence" with others.
There is nothing greater than earning trust and respect online, and having a good reputation if you hope to find ways to make money online.

Discovering New Marketing Tricks and Web Techniques

Time will also allow you to keep up with change, which is a definite constant in the internet marketing world. By now, you have learned all the basics, and you are comfortable with your knowledge.

Then some brilliant marketer comes along and throws you for a loop with an entirely new product, system, service, or program, and you now have to start the learning process over again. The great news is, you already know the basics, so the new stuff is easier to pick up on!

Gathering Up Enough Links

Throughout your whole business cycle and process, you will want to be sure that you are getting good back-links to your site so that others on the internet can find you.

A great way to get backlinks over time is by writing original articles and posting them to your blog, and to article submission services that distribute your articles to publishers around the internet.

Your links will appear in your very important author bio-boxes at the end, and if you are clever, you will write something that sparks some action on the reader's part to click your links.

In time, if you are learning and applying the right things, you should have hundreds, and thousands of links pointing back to your site. The more time you take to gather links, the more successful your online business will be.

If you are looking for ways to make money online, you can now see that time is what brings you the best results. Taking the time to grow, develop, maintain, and sustain your online business is what will eventually get you to riches!

Fact number 1: Housewives, retirees, mom and dads, who are just staying at home and have never made a dime on the internet have created full-time incomes by simply placing Adsense ads on their web site or blog.

No experience and level of education needed. If you are not using this strategy, or may not be aware of it in the first place, chances are you may be losing thousands of dollars worth of extra income and still do not know it yet.

Those of you not familiar with the latest on making money with Adsense now have at least a basic understanding. But there's more to come.

This is one of the many reasons why writing original quality content articles is now the latest in marketing buzz. Content and links. When combined together becomes a really powerful tool to a successful web site and richer individuals. Many internet marketing professionals are already aware of the value of an original quality content and how using keywords can drive targeted traffic into their sites from the search engines.

So why don't all these web site owners write and submit their own articles if that is what is important?

The simple and understandable answer is that it takes time to write articles, submit them and get targeted traffic to their websites. That is why they get the services of those who can spares sometime to write the articles that would cater to their site purpose but still turn out as a good quality and unique piece of work.

No Website? - No Problem?


Copyright � Glenn Jones
http://www.Extreme-Profits.com

It is a commonly held belief that in order to conduct business on the World Wide Web, you must have your very own website. Your own website is your "virtual store" in cyberspace where your potential customers come to in order to view your goods or services. This is only one way available to you as an affiliate marketer.

Though it's true that having your own website can greatly aid you in your quest to achieve success in the online field, a website is necessary to succeed as an affiliate marketer. It is true, you can make a living online as an affiliate even if you do not have your own website!

How is this possible? Read on, friends, as I discuss alternative strategies that will allows you to make the most out of your affiliate marketing campaigns without having your own website on the net. First, what is affiliate marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a program whereby you the affiliate, earn a generous commission for every successful sale that you refer to the affiliate merchant. Your task is merely to pre-sell the affiliate merchant's goods. In this example, the website is provided by the merchant not you! The sales page, the payment processing, the digital delivery, and post sales services are all the responsibilities of the affiliate merchant. The merchant gets many more customers than he could attract on his own, and you, as an affiliate, receive a commission for your efforts. Every body wins!

How does it work? As an affiliate you are provided with a unique link to the merchants sales page. Each time someone clicks on your unique link and buys something, the merchant knows that you are now eligible for a commission. Simple right? Ok, your challenge is now to get as many potential customers as possible to click on your link. It should be obvious, that the more places you can display your link, the more chances for customers to click on it, right?

Marketing the affiliate merchant's goods without the benefit of your own website entails showing your links in ways you might not have considered in the past. Here are some strategies and techniques for you to try:

� Article Marketing. We all know how powerful article marketing is in link building campaigns. But instead of providing for links to your own website, you now provide your affiliate links instead. Article directories provide a resource box for each article submission you make. Not only can you tell your readers about yourself, but they allow you to provide your link as well. If you provide an article with good content, people are more likely to click your link. Now, you have to remember that some article directories do not allow affiliate links in the bodies of the articles themselves, but affiliate links are usually allowed in the resource box. A couple of places to start your article marketing campaign are ezinearticles.com , goarticles.com and isnare.com . The major search engines visit the Article Directories frequently looking for fresh content. Your articles and links will be picked up and spread far and wide!

� Forum marketing. Online communities, or forums, are another great way for you to promote your affiliate links. Membership in forums provides you with a signature box where you can advertise your links. Each time you post to the forum, your signature box with its link appears. If you were to post a thousand messages, you'll have a thousand pages advertising your affiliate links! When selecting a forum to join, be sure to pick one that is relevant to your affiliate market products. A useful tool for selecting a forum can be found at: link-advantage.com/search to find the appropriate online community.

� Advertise in eZines. This may cost you some money, since many eZines charge for their advertising space. However, you can expose your affiliate links to highly targeted prospects using this approach. Imagine if the eZine has a list of 10,000 people. You'd immediately be able to reach 10,000 quality leads with one advertisement. Again, this can be done without your own website. Simply place your affiliate link in your ads.

Not having your own web site should not be a barrier to keep you from growing a thriving, vibrant Internet Business. By using the methods I have outlined, you will be well on your way to success. Most of the strategies I have discussed with you here can be accomplished without spending a single cent. Joining an affiliate program is free and the rewards can be substantial.

Good luck and good success!

Make Fast Money Online - 3 Simple Steps


People all over the world are making money via the internet selling products and services. It makes sense as you can have access to a global marketplace that is always open and you don't even need your own products. So you want to make fast money online? Well in this article I will outline 3 simple steps you can take to make this happen. The key is you must be willing to take action. The greatest ideas in the world are useless unless you are willing to take action.

The first thing you are going to want to do to make fast money online is some market research. Many people never take the time to do some research to find out if people are interested in what they're selling (or about to be selling.) You also have to understand why people choose to buy things. People choose to buy things because of perceived benefit or perceived value. People buy a weight loss e-book because they are sold on hope; the hope that by buying this product, they will be able to lose weight and look better. People join business opportunities out of hope for more money and a better life. Understand that hope sells. Find something to market that has people looking for it and that sells hope.

Another thing we must discuss if you want to make fast money online deals with leveraging other people's knowledge and experience. The fact is if you knew how to make money online, you wouldn't be reading this article. Also, if you knew how to make money online, you would have the experience and knowledge necessary do so on your own. But you don't know how to do this and if you try and figure it out on your own, you're going to have to go through a learning curve. Making the mistakes and learning as you go is not conducive to making fast money online. If you can find a mentor and leverage their knowledge and experience, you can drastically reduce the learning curve and get in profit mode much quicker. There are many multi-level programs out there where a new marketer can get the support of a mentor or sponsor. I recommend these programs only if you are able to work with a proven successful team and mentor. You want to be learning from people who are actually making money and who can help you do the same thing.

The last idea we will discuss to make fast money online is to try and find proven marketing systems that you can plug into and take action. If you are able to plug into a system that produces results, you're ability to make money quickly is much greater. When you have a system that works, you can take action and know that if you keep taking action and doing what the system says to do, you will have success. When you can focus on taking action, you are able to focus on the one thing that separates the successful from the unsuccessful, ACTION!

To make fast money online do some research and find a product/opportunity that is getting searched for and sells some kind of hope. Find a mentor whose knowledge and experience you can use to your advantage. And finally, find a system that is proven to work so you can focus on the most important element of any online business, taking action.

Make Money Online - Discover the Ultimate Sales Tool for Huge Profits


Knowing one of the most powerful ways to persuade your potential customers to buy from you is essential to make money online and for long term profits. To make any money at all you first have to get your prospect to take that first step.

The vital first step could be for a prospect to request a free sample, get a free report, obtain a discount or BUY a product you are selling! So what is one of the most powerful ways to entice a visitor?

Yes...Customer Testimonials!

Customer testimonials are an incredibly powerful and if you are not using them then your profits will be suffering. The reasons that a testimonial (or even better if you can provide more than one) are so attractive to a potential customer is:

� It gives you and your website credibility
� It shows your product / service in a positive light
� It provides an unbiased opinion
� It gives your prospect added comfort
� It shows you are reliable
� It entices your potential customer to act!

Any words that are unbiased and give a true picture of the service or product you are offering, can give you amazing results. A simple positive appraisal can be something so amazing and indisputable they simply have to act!

A home based business, or any enterprise for that matter be it online or offline, should have testimonials in their marketing 'toolbox'. You should display them with pride because they can make one hell of a difference to your bottom line and whether you make money online.

Also, do your competitors provide customer testimonials in their marketing materials? If they do provide testimonials you can include more and better ones that simply explode customer joy for your product! True, original and detailed customer testimonials can and will be one of your greatest selling tools online - I absolutely guarantee it.

* How Do You Get Customer Testimonials? *

The good news is that you can get them easily and very quickly. You can provide dozens of "verifiable" testimonials and have them ready to do your bidding and help to see your sales soaring.

To secure your testimonials all you need to do is ASK! I'm sure you must have seen hundreds of websites and marketing information from companies that seem to be covered in glowing unbiased reports, on how good their product was and how it made everything so much easier for their customers.

Here is what you should do as soon as someone buys:

# Follow up immediately with a BIG 'thank you' message
# 7 days later follow up with your 'magic' testimonial request asking for their valuable feedback

In your follow up email message (assuming you've over-delivered and your customer is happy) ask questions that will give you positive answers and a detailed response that is so important. Your email MUST contain your survey questions even if you already have a feedback section on your website.

Next, write down your perfect testimonial that states how great your product or service is, how quickly you received it, how well packaged it was, how it helped you do this or that so much better, how it changed your world! Go on...go crazy like someone would be daft not to buy your product because it's so great. Then take each excerpt and transcribe it into a question, here's an example:

"My XYZ arrived 24 hours earlier than I expected - fantastic!" Changes into:
Q. How quickly did you receive XYZ product and were you pleased?

"I thought your XYZ was tremendous value for money and easily worth the price" Changes into the question:
Q. Was value for money important in your decision and was your XYZ easily worth the price you paid?

You can see that if you word your survey correctly you can obtain absolutely amazing testimonials. A word of CAUTION...Never ever make up your own testimonials as it's lying and you'll only be kidding everyone around. Don't do it, after all with this information you now have it'll be easy to get your own legitimately.

Do yourself a favour and get your email survey put together as quickly as possible and follow up your customers every time. Your home based business will see a rise in profits and you will make money online or offline.

What is Pay Per Click Affiliate Program And How To Make Money with It


There are lots of ways to make money online considering the different types of affiliate programs today. It all depends on which type of affiliate program you are comfortable and are willing to market. Some affiliate programs are very easy to market and make money, while others may need marketing tactics in order to make a profit from them.

One type of an affiliate program that can be easy to make money with is pay per click affiliate programs. Pay per click affiliate programs don't need marketing tactics and strategies. You can join the program and start earning money the same day.

I'm going to give you more information about pay per click affiliate programs and how to go about making with these type of affiliate programs.

What is pay per click?

Pay per click is a form of advertising where by a website owner bids on an amount he is willing to pay per click on that particular search engine or site. The search engine creates listings and the advertisers bid against each other for higher listing ranking for a specific keyword or phase.

The website with the highest bid in that particular keyword will get number one rankings in the pay per click search engine. The second and third highest bidders will then follow below the highest bidder and so on. So your website ads appear prominently on the results based on the amount you have agreed to pay per click.

How to make money from pay per click

Making money with pay per click can be very simply then pay per sale and pay per lead. With pay per sale or pay per lead, you are only get paid when a visitor clicks through and makes the desired action, like buy the product or sign up for maybe a newsletter. While with pay per click you get paid based from the click through your visitors will make on the advertisers sites. The search engine shares a certain percentage of what the advertiser pays them for that click with you.

With pay per click incorporate into your affiliate program, you can earn additional revenue form visitors that will not find what they were looking for. And since pay per click will advertise websites similar and in the same niche as your website, it is good reference to your visitors.

If you specifically want to earn income form pay per click, then you should build websites or blogs with pay per click ads well optimized for your website visitors, so you can get a good click through rate.

Now, make sure to build a website with good content. By good content I mean you should get content with well optimized keywords and lots of it, to give your visitors quality information and search engine spider's good content.

Pay per click affiliate programs need lots of traffic. You will not make that much money with just a few visitors a day. And to even make it worse, what if those visitors don't even click on those ads. The best way to drive traffic to pay per click affiliate programs is through search engines. If you optimized your website for good rankings, then you can make a fortune from pay per click affiliate programs. So there is a lot to consider when using pay per click affiliate programs.

Make sure the pay per click ads are well visible to the website visitors, so they can be driven to click on the ads. But keep in mind that you are not allowed to tell the visitors in any way to click on these ads because your account can get suspended and you can lose all your previous earnings. So try to blend the ads with the rest of your site and put the ads at the very top and bottom of your webpage for maximum click through.

Although it can be easy making money with pay per clicks, you definitely need a lot of traffic. Ten or twenty visitors a day will not make you much. Get your traffic tactics right, drive traffic through those pay per click ads, then you will earn revenue the simple way.

The New Internet Revolution


Agloco is the first Internet based economic network, which enables you as a Member to get your share of the internet. The company was created by the same founders of AllAdvantage, an online company which paid out more then 120 million in online advertising revenue to its members.

The company has managed to stir up quiet a buzz and is being recognized by a lot of key players, Bill Gates himself has been quoted saying "I like the idea behind Agloco, with there solid background and outstanding performance I believe that they will be the next big thing to hit the internet".

Agloco's goal is to reach 10 million members by July 1st, 2007 and is set to go public on the London stock exchange shortly after. Once the company goes public their members will be able to see how much their shares will be worth, this is very important because the company will be paying their members not only in cash but in company shares as well.

There are several way's in which this company will be making money online and there are several way's in which the member's will be able to take their share of that money, because the company is not going to be paying everyone equally, we as members or future members need to understand how they are going to be making money and how we are each going to be taking our share.

Here are some examples of how to make money online with the help of the members. In the following examples I will be referring to something called a Viewbar, the Viewbar is not yet available for download but is set to be released between January 25th and February 15th and is what you'll need to use in order to make more money.
1) Search - Every time you use the Viewbar to do an Internet search, the company makes money from the search engine providers.

2) Advertising - The Viewbar itself displays ads that are targeted based upon the websites you're visiting. When you click on an ad and make a purchase, the company receives a referral fee, which they then pass on to the members.

3) Transaction commissions - Many retailers are paying commissions when you refer customers who make a purchase. Agloco collects that commission and passes it on to the members.

4) Software distribution - Software companies will pay Agloco to encourage the download of new software releases and trial versions of new programs.

5) Service distribution - Many online service providers will look to Agloco members as a source of new and active users for their services.

6) Product distribution - When members agree to use a product, such as cell phones, high-tech gadgets, office supplies, new credit cards or financial services, Agloco will collect a referral fee.

So now that we know how the company will be making money for their members we next need to understand how we as members can claim our share of that money. Here are some examples of the way's in which you as a member or future member will be able to cash in on more money.

1) You earn a monthly share of the total revenue based on the use of the Viewbar that month. (As of December 22, 2006 Agloco states that for each hour surfed you will gain one share up to a maximum of 5 hours surfed per month).

2) You earn part of the company based use of the Viewbar that month.

3) The members who use the referral system to help build the community will earn more, for example since the max amount you can earn with the Viewbar is five shares per month (equal's 5 hours surfed), each time you refer someone and they use the Viewbar for five hours per month, you will gain one extra share for each hour (To a maximum of 5 hours) that they surfed, additionally this goes one level deeper to sub-referral's.

4) As a member you will also get a share of any commissions the company gets when another member purchases a product or service from a sponsor company.

As you can see from the above examples it is really easy to earn money and having such a strong background in online business there reputation stands higher then any other paid to surf program around.

Some of the key benefit's to becoming a member is that it's 100% free to join, they never require any protective personal information like bank or credit card numbers, they have created an extremely secure system in which the Viewbar is being ranked extremely high, there giving away 90% of their stock's to the members, and you are making money for doing very little work.

With so many large companies becoming involved with Agloco it earns them respect as well as trust from new members, we can all feel very secure knowing that this is not a scam and has the ability to earn us all a decent amount of money for doing the same thing's we've always been doing online.

I hope you liked this introduction and if your interested in finding out more information about them and if you would like to sign up then click on this Agloco or visit Agloco Hype.

10 Easy Tips to Help You Profit From Your Website


10 Easy Tips to Help You Profit From Your Website.

Hundreds of thousands of webmasters across the world make money online with their websites. Why not you? Here are 10 easy tips that you can use on your website to make it profitable. As with any good website however, you first need quality original content!

1. Google AdSense - Make money selling advertising space. While banner ads are not worth your time for the most part, Google AdSense is. Many web site owners make a comfortable living off of AdSense profit alone.

2. Affiliate Marketing - Make money referring your website traffic to other websites. Don't have a product? That is 100% O.K. Just add someone else product to your site by joining an affiliate program and forget about it. If you have related content (free information) you will see a slow trickle of income from your affiliate links.

3. Write an eBook - Sell your own idea or product. I know it sounds like a day dream, but people do this all the time. In fact, it is the most common method that people use to make money. Write an eBook, offer consultations, or make something people will use. In this category, you are only limited by your imagination.

4. Create an online directory - Sell text links. Add a directory area to your site and offer to place links to other web sites for a small fee.

5. Become a Paid Blogger. Offer to blog for companies. Blogging is fast becoming an important link building strategy for online companies. There are hundreds of small businesses that could benefit from a professional blog but, do not have the resources to hire a full time employee. You have a website, put it to use!

6. Open your own eBay store. Buy low, sell high. There is no easier place to sell than online with your own eBay store. You can concentrate on a particular type of product like coins and antiques or you can sell a wide variety.

7. Host an online competition. Offer prizes for the first, second and third place winners. Your competition can be on almost anything. Think of a way to offer a competition, create a small entry fee and you are set!

8. Create a member only area. You can create a members only site about anything from Fan Clubs, Online Newsletters, Courses and Training, Stock Trading Tips, Dating Sites, Personal Advice, Horoscopes, Family Trees, and so on. Again, your only limitation is your imagination. If you have a site already up and running, offer something in your paid member's area that they cannot easily get for free.

9. Begin a paid advice service. Free information is great and will draw readers to your site. Once there, help the reader out with some basic information. Save the real "meat" for those that are willing to pay a small fee.

10. Sell your site. Why drag on a project for years when you can get in, get out and turn a quick (albeit smaller) profit? Create your site, get it listed in the search engines, make sure you get a few dollars a week in online advertising and sell your site for a few thousand dollars.

Safepay grants VERIFIED status to poundpyramid.


Being verified by some merchant account providers is simply a case of submitting bank details and verifying 2 small payment amounts. It really says nothing to the consumer about the site an account is registered to, nor the site owner. All it really confirms is that someone opened an account with them and has a bank account.

Using Guest Bloggers


Owners of a successful blog that has a large following may sometimes have the need to use guest bloggers. An example of when this practice may be a good idea is when the owner of a popular blog will be unavailable to post new blog entries for an extended period of time. In this case the lack of blog updates may cause the blog to lose traffic so it would be prudent for the blog owner to make arrangements for a guest blogger or a series of guest bloggers to post new items during his absence. The blogger may also wish to announce the intention to use guest bloggers during this period of time to ensure loyal blog visitors are aware of the situation and that it is only temporary. This article will discuss aspects of using guest bloggers such as advertising for guest bloggers, selecting guest bloggers and compensating guest bloggers.

Advertising for Guest Bloggers

There are a number of locations where a blog owner can advertise for guest bloggers. Job boards specifically for bloggers or freelance writers are an excellent option for finding guest bloggers. Job boards for bloggers are frequently visited by experienced bloggers who are looking for new opportunities to blog for compensation. These bloggers may have specific experience with the subject matter of the blog or may simply be adept at creating interesting blogs on a variety of subjects. Job boards for freelance writers are another great option. These writers may not necessarily have experience blogging but they may have other writing experience that is useful. Blog owners should consider posting a detailed messaged specifying the type of work required and duration of the project and asking for clips from the writers which can be used to verify the writer's skill level.

Blog owners may also wish to advertise for guest bloggers on message boards related to the subject of the blog. Visitors of this blog may not necessarily have writing experience but will likely be quite knowledgeable about the subject of the blog and therefore be capable of producing interesting and insightful blogs.

Selecting Guest Bloggers

Selecting a guest blogger should be done carefully to ensure the guest blogger is reliable and capable of producing articulate, informative and interesting blog posts. Blog owners who advertise for a guest blogger on job boards for bloggers and freelance writers should ask for clips demonstrating the writer's ability to write blogs which are interesting and informative. When advertising on a message board for a guest blogger, the blog owner might want to consider using the applicant's previous posts to evaluate his writing ability and knowledge of the subject matter. He should also consider the type of response the applicant's message board postings typically elicit. This is important because it is a good indication of the type of response the blogs will elicit. Blog owners should also ask the applicants for references and should contact these references to obtain information about the bloggers work ethic and ability to complete projects.

Compensating Guest Bloggers

Blog owners should also carefully consider how they intend to compensate guest bloggers. This can be done in the form of financial compensation or through allowing the guest blogger to post a brief biography with a link to his personal website or blog at the conclusion of the blog post. The latter form of compensation is essentially free advertisement space for the guest blogger. The blog owner may also wish to compensate the guest blogger with a combination of money and free advertising space. Regardless of the method of compensation chosen the blog owner should discuss this with the guest blogger before work commences and should enter a written contract with the guest blogger which explicitly states the terms of the compensation to avoid disputes.

Products to Make Blogging Easier


There are an assortment of products which can simplify the process of blogging. Although blogging is not a difficult process there can be some aspects of blogging which are overwhelming to new bloggers or bloggers who do not have a great deal of Internet experience. These products can be very beneficial to the blogger by simplifying the design process or helping to make the blog more appealing to blog readers. This article will discuss some of the products currently available to make blogging easier including blogging software programs, website design software and keyword generators.

Blogging Software Programs

Blogging software programs are some of the most obvious programs which make blogging easier. These programs are readily available and many of them are free to use. Blogging software programs can greatly simplify the process of publishing a blog especially if the blogger employs the templates included in these programs. In some cases the act of publishing a blog once the blog has been set up may be as simple as typing the text of the blog into a text editor and pressing a button to publish the blog. However, there will be some work required of the blogger upfront to set up the layout of the blog.

Even the design process is greatly simplified by these programs especially if the blogger opts to use the templates in the program. The blogger may only have to scroll through a list of options and select those which he finds most appealing. Based on these selections the software will generate the blog with the appropriate layout, colors, fonts and even advertising options. More ambitious bloggers may opt to utilize their programming skills to customize these templates but this is not necessary and the blog will function sufficiently without any additional customization.

Website Design Software

Website design software can also be a useful tool for new bloggers who want to create a blog which is aesthetically appealing and also functional. These software programs make it possible for bloggers who do not have any design experience to create a blog with a unique appearance. When using this type of software the blogger can scroll through options, make changes on the fly, preview changes and even upload photos for use in the blog. As these changes are made in the software design program the code for these design options is automatically generated, updated and stored as necessary.

Keyword Generators

Bloggers who are trying to attract a great deal of web traffic to a website should also consider the use of keyword generator to assist them in determining which keywords they should be using in their blog. The blogger may want to make the blog interesting and informative as a priority but the judicious use of keywords throughout the blog and in the code of the blog can contribute to higher search engine rankings for the blog. This is important because high search engine rankings often translate to high blog traffic. This is because Internet users heavily rely on search engines to assist them in finding the best websites which pertain to certain keywords which are used during searches. These high search engine rankings essentially act as free advertising for the blog owner because Internet users expect the highest ranking websites to be the most informative websites so they are likely to visit blogs which rank well with search engines as opposed to blogs which are buried on later pages of search results.

Managing Multiple Blogs


While some bloggers may focus exclusively on only one blog at a time, there are many bloggers who manage to maintain several different blogs concurrently. However, not all bloggers do this successfully. Some bloggers compromise quality of content as well as quantity of content by trying to maintain too many blogs while other bloggers have the ability to keep several blogs up to date and interesting to visitors. There are a few key elements to maintaining multiple successful blogs. This article will discuss some of these elements including keeping content original, keeping blogs up to date and budgeting time to work on each blog.

Keeping Content Original

Bloggers who maintain multiple blogs must be careful to keep the content of each blog original. Even if the blogger maintains several related blogs it is important to ensure each of these blogs has original blog postings. This will help to prevent blog visitors from feeling as though the information they are receiving is not original. It will also help to prevent readers who frequently visit one or more of the bloggers blogs from deciding to start only visiting one of the blogs because they feel the postings are redundant.

Bloggers are also advised against stealing posts from other similar blogs. This is not only illegal but is also not likely to help the blogger much because dedicated readers of the original blog are likely to realize the new blog is simply stealing content from a more successful blog.

Keeping Each Blog Up to Date

Bloggers who maintain multiple blogs are also advised to ensure each blog is kept up to date. This means they should take care to post on each blog regularly. Doing this will help to avoid problems which stem from blog visitors feeling as though the blogs are stagnant. Even the most interesting and informative blogs can lose traffic quickly if the blog visitors do not see new content on a regular basis. The Internet is continually evolving and updating. As a result Internet users can afford to be finicky and are not likely to remain dedicated to a blog which does not post new information regularly because they can likely find other blogs available which do provide updates on a more frequent basis.

Finding Time to Work on Each Blog

Bloggers who maintain several blogs are also tasked with the dilemma of finding time to work on each blog. However, this is very important because bloggers cannot afford to neglect one or more of their blogs. Doing this can result in a marked decline in blog traffic. Therefore bloggers who wish to maintain multiple blogs must budget their time carefully to ensure they are dedicating sufficient time to each blog. This time management exercise may start out by assessing the needs of each blog. Some blogs may require a great deal of time and effort each week to keep the blog functioning properly while other blogs may require only a small amount of time for the same purpose. In general blogs which require a great deal of research will require more time and energy of the blogger than blogs which are based on the bloggers opinions and feelings and are therefore not as research intensive. Once the blogger has determined how much time it will be required to maintain each blog, he can schedule his time accordingly. However, he should plan to evaluate how well each blog is operating and may have to make adjustments to the schedule as needed. Additionally, he may also need to make a decision to eliminate a blog or enlist assistance in keeping the blogs updated if necessary.

Is Blogging For Everyone?


Blogging is a relatively new phenomenon. It basically involves the creation of an online journal which is displayed in reverse chronological order. The blogger who is maintaining the blog may opt to post new blog entries as often as he desires. This may involve posting new entries more than once per day, daily, weekly, monthly or even at a less frequent interval. The postings in a blog are typically related in some way but they can be about any subject the blogger desires. Bloggers may maintain a blog for a number of different reasons and these blogs may be private or public in nature. This article will describe the difference between a private and public blog and will also explain blogging professionally as well as blogging for personal reasons.

Private vs. Public Blogs

Blogs can also be private or public. Private blogs are ones in which only the blogger and others who have been approved by the blogger can view the blog postings. Public blogs are available to any users of the Internet. A blogger may opt to make a blog private or public depending on whether or not he is comfortable with others reading the blog. For example a blogger who creates a blog for the purpose of venting about frustrations in life may opt to keep a blog private so friends or family members are not able to read these vents. Conversely a blogger who is blogging for a purpose such as to promote a cause will likely opt to make the blog public so his message can reach as many Internet users as possible. However, bloggers who create a blog to express themselves through their writing, poetry or other form of expression may opt to make the blog private or public depending on whether or not they want to make these personal feelings available to others. Some bloggers in this situation will make the blog public because they want to reach others who may either share their feelings or may benefit from reading their blogs. There may be other bloggers in this situation who will make the blog private because they do not want others to see these personal forms of expression.

Blogging Professionally

Blogging can actually be done as a source of income for some bloggers. There are a number of companies who maintain a network of bloggers and pay bloggers to maintain a blog in the network. These bloggers may be compensated per post, according to the number of page views the blog receives or through a combination of the number of posts and the number of page views. A career as a blogger requires a great deal of dedication. The blogger must be willing and able to update the blog regularly and to keep the blog interesting to readers.

Blogging for Personal Reasons

Blogging can also be done for personal reasons. Some bloggers use their blog to stay in touch with family and friends while others use it to express themselves or to share information with others. Blogs created for personal reasons can be a great deal of fun but the blogger must be sure to avoid allowing the process of maintaining the blog to become a stressful situation. A blog which is maintained for personal reasons should be an enjoyable experience for the blogger.

Finding Blogs to Read


There is a wide variety of blogs currently available. Internet users are fortunate to have a large number of blogs to choose from when seeking a blog to read regularly. There are also often many blogs available which cover a particular subject. Blogs can be about any subject imaginable. Some blogs are created to entertain while others are created to inform. Some blogs are created to generate a profit while other blogs are created to help others. With so many blogs currently available online it can be difficult to determine which blogs are worth reading and which are not. It can also make it difficult to limit the number of blogs the Internet user reads. This article will provide information on finding and selecting blogs to read including using search engines to find blogs, finding blogs through participation in message boards and seeking recommendations for blogs from friends or family members.

Using Search Engines to Find Blogs


Search engines are one of the most reliable resources Internet users often rely on to find useful websites. However, it is important to note search engines can also be extremely helpful for Internet users who are interested in finding blogs to read. An Internet user who is looking for a blog on a particular subject can start the process of finding these blogs by entering relevant keywords or phrases into a popular search engine and carefully reviewing the results provided for this search. However, this type of search will not necessarily provide the Internet users with blogs. In fact the search results may not include a blog on any of the first few pages in the search results despite returning pages upon pages of links to useful websites.

One simple way the Internet user can use search engines to find blogs relating to a particular subject is to include the word blog with the keywords or phrases entered into the search engine. This will help to filter the search results and may push blogs towards the front of search results. However, Internet users are better off searching for collections of blogs and then searching within these collections for ones of interest.

Finding Blogs on Message Boards

Many Internet users rely on message boards to find interesting and informative blogs. This is because many message board participants who have a blog often find ways to make others aware of this blog. This may either be through the process of incorporating a link to the blog in the message board user's signature or, when appropriate, supplying the link to the blog directly in the message body of a post on the message board. Although many bloggers may take advantage of the opportunity to promote their own blog through message boards, those who are interested in finding new blogs will likely not have time to review all of these blogs. Therefore, it is wise for these Internet users to be somewhat discriminating about the blogs they choose to visit. One way to do this is to only visit blogs of regular forum posters who offer valuable information to the conversations on the message board. The Internet user may also wish to avoid blogs which appear to be posted as spam. This is important because these blogs are not only likely poor quality but also visiting these blogs only encourages the blog owner to continue to spam message boards with his link.

Seeking Recommendations for Blogs

Finally, Internet users who are seeking blogs to read on a regular basis can consider seeking recommendations from friends or family members who share a particular interest. Friends or family members who are interested in the same subject as you may already regularly read blogs relevant to this interest. Asking them for recommendations is worthwhile because they have no reason to do anything but recommend blogs they really enjoy and assume you will be interested in as well. Also, this method of finding blogs is ideal because your friends and family members likely know your tastes and expectations well and will likely steer you in the right direction.

Blogging with Wordpress


Wordpress is one of the many options available to bloggers who are looking for free software online which makes it incredibly easy to publish their own blog. This software is easy to use, provides a variety of templates and offer excellent support to bloggers. There are many options available to bloggers and other blogging programs may be better known and offer slightly different features but many bloggers are quite pleased with Wordpress. This article will offer some useful information for bloggers who are considering starting a blog with Wordpress such as reasons to choose Wordpress, tips on starting a blog and information about the support offered by Wordpress. Based on this information as well as their own research bloggers can decide whether Wordpress is right for them or whether they should seek out a different blog network.

Reasons to Choose Wordpress

There are many great reasons to choose Wordpress to start a blog. Some of these reasons include a great variety of templates, the ability to categorize and tag posts easily, features such as spell check, previews and autosave, the ability to post text, audio files and video files, a variety of privacy options and the ability to track statistical data related to the blog in addition to other great features. Some of these features may be more important to some bloggers than others so deciding whether or not Wordpress is right for you will largely be a matter of personal preference. For example bloggers with little or no programming experience may enjoy the myriad of templates available on Wordpress while bloggers who are concerned about privacy issues may be more interested in the privacy options available through Wordpress. Carefully investigating these features will help bloggers determine if they should start a blog with Wordpress.

Starting a Blog with Wordpress

Bloggers who opt to start a blog with Wordpress will certainly not be disappointed by the amount of time it takes to start a blog. A blogger can literally start a blog with Wordpress within minutes. This is tremendously important to bloggers who are eager to get started and do not want to deal with a long process to start a blog. The only requirements for starting a blog are a valid email address and a username. The blogger enters this information into the signup page and receives a password almost instantly. Next the blogger simply has to check his email, follow the activation link provided and use the password provided and the process is complete. The blogger can start blogging immediately.

Support Offered by Wordpress

For many first time bloggers the type of support offered is very important. This is because first time bloggers may have quite a few questions about the process of starting a basic blog and once they establish a basic blog they may have additional questions about using advanced features and customizing the blog. Wordpress offers a great deal of support for bloggers of all skill levels. The support offered by Wordpress includes the ability to contact the support staff as well as the ability to receive support from other members through online forums. Although the support staff is incredibly responsive some bloggers enjoy the ability to communicate with other bloggers in forums.

Blogging to Promote a Cause


While many bloggers maintain a blog for personal or social reasons or to generate an income, there are other bloggers who utilize their blogs to promote a cause. These blogs may be aimed at targeting a specific political or social cause depending on the interests of the blogger as well as blogger's opinion that the blog can produce the political or social changes they are seeking. Blogs which are committed to promoting a particular cause may face more adversity than blogs with a lighter theme but they can also be very effective. However, blog owners who opt to maintain this type of blog should be aware of the ramifications of this type of blog. For example blog owners may receive negative comments from readers of the blog who disagree with the cause. This article will offer a few tips for choosing a cause for a blog and for promoting the blog to interested visitors.

Choosing a Cause for a Blog

Choosing a cause for a blog can vary in difficulty from extremely easy to incredibly difficult. The difficulty in making this decision will depend largely on the personal beliefs of the blog owner. A blog owner who is already committed to a particular cause will likely find this decision to be rather simple while blog owners who either have no strong social or political convictions or who have a wide variety of causes they wish to promote can find making this decision to be rather difficult. There are, however, a few factors the blog owner should carefully consider before selecting a cause to promote in a blog.

First and foremost a blog owner should select an issue for which they are either already quite knowledgeable or for which they are willing to do a great deal of research. This is important because the blog owner should post blog entries on a regular basis. These blog entries should be accurate and informative to the reader. Therefore, the blog owner should be well versed in the subject matter or at least interested in learning more about the subject matter.

Blog owners should also carefully consider the potential for influencing blog visitors regarding the topic of the blog. Although it will not be possible to convince all visitors to the blog to believe in the cause promoted by the blog, the blog owner should select a subject with which he is confident visitors to the blog will be influenced to agree with the viewpoints he presents in the blog.

Promoting the Blog to Interested Visitors

Once a blog owner decides on a subject for the blog, it is time to figure out how to promote the blog to the target audience. This can be accomplished in a number of different ways. For the sake of brevity, this article will discuss promoting a blog through search engine optimization and promoting a blog through participation in relevant forums.

Search engine optimization is a very effective way for promoting a blog. This practice involves making efforts to increase the search engine rankings to ensure interested Internet users are directed to the blog. This can be done in a number of different ways including careful use of appropriate keywords, appropriate use of tags such as title tags and image tags and generating back links to the blog. All of these efforts can help to improve search engine rankings which should also improve blog traffic.

Blog owners can also promote their blog by participating in relevant forums and message boards. The blog owner may simply participate in these forums and offer relevant input while including a link to the blog in his signature. Other forum users are likely to click on the link if the blog owner is well respected within the forum. The blog owner may even be able to incorporate a link to his blog in the message body of forum posts if it appropriate and acceptable according toe the message board guidelines.
