A lot of people ask this question all the time.

“How do I make money online quickly?”

My answer is generally, “You don’t!” You have to work for it to make it happen.

But, the truth is, there are a few ways to make money rather quickly and even as soon as today.

Here are just 10 of ways to make money online in no specific order…

1. Sell something on Ebay. It “almost” doesn’t matter what it is. Maybe it’s something old you have lying around the house. Heck as long as you’re honest and say what it is you’re selling, you can make money on there. There are people on Ebay right now selling, of all things, “Broken Cell Phones!” Yes people even buy broken stuff.

2. Blog for money. Blogging has become so popular and important in the eyes of the search engines that you can now get paid to, blah blah, I mean write about things you like, don’t like or stuff you know about. PayPerPost.com is the place to go.

3. Sell your services. With the sheer number of freelancer websites out there, if you have a skill someone needs, SELL IT!

Here are places you can go to sell your services. Elance: www.Elance.com Rent A Coder: www.RentACoder.com Script Lance: www.Scriptlance.com Guru: www.Guru.com Writer Lance: www.Writerlance.com Workaholics 4Hire: www.Workaholics4Hire.com

4. Sell other peoples products. It’s called affiliate marketing and it’s a term you’ll hear bandied around the internet quite a bit. But… the fact is, affiliate marketing is growing in the billions of dollars of revenue and income made on the internet. Go to any major “affiliate network” or big ecommerce website like Target.com and you can find an affiliate signup link somewhere on the page. There, you sign up to become a reseller of their products and they give you a percentage of the sale. You’ve just become their freelance or remote sales force. All you have to do is use online advertising methods such as Pay Per Click using Google Adwords or something similar and you can use it to sell other peoples’ products through your “affiliate link” by placing small “classified like” ads on their pay per click network. A person sees the ad, they click to the website you’re advertising and if they buy, you get paid! Even if you make as little as $50 a day, that’s a nice start and heck, it can pay your bills. Remember you have to invest money in your advertising but would you spend $200 a month to make $1,500? Of course you would!

5. Start your own website. This is probably the most difficult one of these but it really isn’t difficult once you know the steps you need to take in order to accomplish it. I can’t possibly explain them all in detail here but, I can give you a quick list. * Get a domain name. * Get a website hosting account. * Get an Autoresponder. You will need one to collect the names and email addresses of your customers and/or visitors. * Get an HTML editing software like Microsoft Frontpage or a free one like NVU * Get FTP software. FTP means File Transfer Protocol and it is the best method to transfer files on to your website hosting account. These are files like webpages and such. Filezilla is a great free choice for the beginner. * Get a way to process credit cards. You can start our with Paypal and even expand your business using all of their services. It’s free to join, fast and secure for you and your customers. * Create a digital product, get the resale rights to one or sell a physical product. It really doesn’t matter as long as it’s something there is a need or a want for. * Put up a page selling your product. * Advertise and send traffic to your website. * Collect your Money and follow-up with your customers!

I know that last one was a bit overly simplistic, but like I said, “It’s way too much to get into here.”

Keep in mind that these are just 5 among the dozens of other ways to make money online. Take action and change your life!

An autoresponder gives you the ability to send messages effortlessly for months on end. So if you captured an email address six months ago, your autoresponder can repeatedly contact that person to offer your product or service.

=> WASH-RINSE-REPEAT

Repeat contact is a concept that top marketers first used effectively in the offline world. When you conduct a direct mail campaign, you send out message after message until it`s no longer cost-effective. This strategy yields a much higher response rate than with a one-shot mailing (typically just 1% or less).

-From the Research Labs: Research shows that, on average, A PROSPECT MUST BE CONTACTED SEVEN TIMES before you have any real chance at closing a sale.

=> BE IN THE TOP 10

If you apply this strategy to your Internet marketing campaigns, you`ll have a real edge over the competition. Remember: 90% of businesses do not follow-up with prospects!

=> TECHIQUE #1 - THE “KILL OVERKILL” TECHNIQUE

You don`t want an email-inbox crammed with ads and sales letters, and neither does anyone else. Don`t send out sales letter after sales letter. Your messages will become an annoyance and the recipient will either unsubscribe or just delete the messages whenever they arrive.

By sending a series of sales letters SPACED APART BY 2-4 DAYS, you`ll keep your prospect aware of your business and develop credibility over time without being a pest.

=> TECHNIQUE #2 - THE “MY GIFT TO YOU” TECHNIQUE

Send freebies such as ebooks, info reports, newsletters, software, or even product samples. Many marketers use this approach by offering a newsletter.

-Sneaky Salesmanship: Within the newsletter you have an excellent opportunity to plug your product with a few lines of irresistible copy.

With the soft sell approach, you can contact your prospect once or even twice a week with “valuable information” — which coincidentally mentions your product or service — without seeming like you`re over-selling. If you`re a vacuum cleaner distributor, for example, send a newsletter on allergies and dust mites, for example.

=> TECHNIQUE #3 - THEY`LL LEARN/YOU`LL EARN TECHNIQUE

Give away a valuable training course via email that has special appeal to your recipients! You can create a simple 3-day, 5-day, 7 day, or even longer course. And at the end of some of the course lessons you can add a few lines of copy plugging your product or service.

This, too, is a soft sell approach.

=> TECHNIQUE #4 - COMBO PLATTER TECHNIQUE

Use a variation of the hard sell, soft sell approach. Simply alternate your messages. A balance of 40% hard-sell and 60% soft-sell is generally about right.

It would be nice if keyword research was an exact science, but it’s not. Contrary to what marketing firms selling the latest, greatest and most expensive selection tools will tell you, this type of research is more of a form of art.

Despite its real categorization, keyword research can be very important to a site’s overall chances for success. It is very important to select solid, relevant keywords. Unfortunately, many webmasters fall pray to some very common mistakes when selecting their words. Having a handle on what they are can help you avoid them.

The biggest keyword related mistake, hands down, is failing to see how important they are. It’s a simple fact that keywords are very powerful marketing tools. They help sites earn traffic, ranking and even revenue. They can even help focus the entire theme of a site. Although hiring an expensive firm isn’t required to see results, selecting goods keywords is important.

Another stumbling block is the research process itself. The improper use of keyword research tools can lead to poor keyword selection. Keyword counts, for example, are only estimates. Tools that reveal these are useful. Just keep in mind they don’t reflect the total searches from Google, Yahoo and MSN. The numbers they reveal are simply estimates taken from one source. Plus, some tools report different keywords. To compensate, you might consider using multiple tools for keyword selection. Using Wordtracker and Ad Word Analyzer both is a good idea. By doing so, you can discover more keywords.

Another issue that crops up a lot is the use of only a single keyword or phrase on a site or page. The truth is it is simply much smarter to select a theme and then choose multiple words and phrases to support it. This works to boost latent semantic indexing, too. Picking niche phrases can be done with a little help from WordNet and other similar tools.

Another sticking point centers on Keyword Effectiveness Index reliance. KEI is the ratio of the number of times a particular keyword is searched in regard to the number of sites ranked for that word. It is meant to help webmasters figure competition for a term. KEI is useful, but the thing to look for is how SEO strong the top sites on the list happen to be. Tools like SEO for Firefox and SeoQuake can help with competition checks.

Webmasters who really get the power of keywords often box themselves in with too much research. The mistake these folks make is failing to use keyword management tools to direct their efforts. Spreadsheets can help, but tools like Ad Word Analyzer can be much more valuable. They can sort, filter, and even list related keywords you never would have come up with on your own.

Publishers sometimes jump the gun on doing their research. It is important to remember that tools like Wordtracker store data for the past 90 days. This means researching words at off times can result in skewed numbers. Doing a Christmas keyword search in June, for example, will not produce the world’s greatest results. Timing research is important.

The last two things to watch out for are greed and waste. Many publishers go after keywords that pay out well. This can be great, but the truth is lower paying niche keywords can bring in more earnings over the long haul. They tend to have less competition. Waste comes into play when webmasters get over excited about research. Often, they will create list after list of targeted, niche keywords and never put them into action. It’s smart to focus on a single niche, implement the project and then move onto the next.

Keyword selection is an art form that can deliver some major perks to a site. Although finding the right keywords to use can take time and effort, the payoff can be big in terms of visitors and even revenue.

You need to consider your strategy, before you start. Do you want long term traffic and income from the articles you write? If you said yes, then you need to write a completely different way from the way that has been recommended for many years. You will need to write in such a way, that you will have targeted traffic coming to your website.

You might be wondering what that means? It means that the people, who are reading your articles, will click through to your site because they have an interest in your site and product. They are ready to spend their money especially if you are selling a product which will make their lives easier.

If you write an article on acne, and have a relevant website and product, then people who read the article who suffer from acne will want a solution and they will pay for that solution. Yes, someone with a bad back might decide to read your article because it is health related, but they won’t be interested in buying your product unless acne is something they also suffer from.

This is why you need to write a relevant article to your product. Get the person interested in the information you are giving them. Don’t give them every piece of advice; get to a stage where they need to click that link for the rest of the jigsaw. Always get them drawn in without giving them all the information. If all the information is in the article then they have no reason to click for more details. They have no reason to pay for anything when they know they can get it for nothing.

Many people have no idea how to search online, and these are the ones who will always pay for the information because they don’t know how to do it for free. They will be reading your articles and in turn you will get traffic to your site which will convert into instant money into your account.

Making a great living as an affiliate marketer is becoming more and more possible for the average person - regardless of expertise or education.

What’s more it is possible to entirely automate the process of selling online from following up with your prospects through to product sale, delivery and beyond.

Remember, the affiliate sale and after sales process, including support and product delivery are covered by the merchant or product owner. So, if you are an affiliate marketer you can forget about that aspect of your business. This part is already automated as far as you are concerned.

What’s left then? Well, skipping over how you will get visitors to visit your website, there is the small task of following up with leads and prospects.

It would be virtually impossible to do this manually once your web business starts to grow. It may be doable if you are getting 1 to 2 leads per day BUT what happens when this number grows to 10, 20, 50 or maybe even 100 leads per day?

The reason I setup my online business was because I wanted more freedom in my life. If I’m following up with leads all day long then any freedom I have has disappeared.

This is why it is important to me and I’m sure to you to put as much of our business on auto-pilot as possible.

If you setup an email capture form and followup autoresponder to automate the sales process then you can concentrate all your efforts on marketing your website.

Your only job then would be to send visitors to your website with your lead capture form. Once they enter your autoresponder the rest is on automatic pilot - from followup through to sale. The end result of which will be affiliate commission checks in your mailbox or bank account.

Using autoresponders to sell your affiliate products is an absolute must as far as I am concerned if you are serious about building a successful affiliate business.

Using such services frees up a lot of your time to get on with marketing and developing your business to new and greater heights.

At no other time in history has there been an easier way to create automatic income streams than the opportunities being presented to online entrepreneurs. It is up to you to take advantage of the technology available and apply it to your business.

The costs involved are so low that it would be downright idiotic not to get your own affiliate followup system.

Government control is becoming more and more a concern for the average citizen around the world. This is not a political statement but only an observation of reality. Not only is government control an issue but also the concerns of working very hard all your life and then to wake up one day and have an individual, corporation, or even a spouse trying to take some or all of your assets.

There are ways to protect you. And once again network marketing has come to the rescue to make this process available and affordable. Global Wealth Builders Offshore Privacy Club should be of interest to anyone looking for a ground floor opportunity and a way to protect one’s assets from governments and others who may try to control them.

Global WealthBuilders Offshore Privacy Club is headquartered in the country of Panama, ALL income earned by its members (except Panamanian members) is totally tax free under Panamanian law. As Panama has NO tax treaties with ANY other country, that income is also NOT disclosed, or available to ANY other government.

The concept is unique and provocative. The owners of Global WealthBuilders Offshore Privacy Club have gone out of their way to protect the privacy of their members and to afford the company secrets only to paying members. As a home based business venture this program gives member money streams of income.

The program started in early March of 2007 and launched on the 1st of June in the same year. Over a hundred thousand internet marketers joined the pre-registration process and 2,500+ became paying members and are well on there way to earning a $95,000.00 — tax free - monthly income. Unlike multilevel marketing (MLM) companies, members keep all the cash they earn and are not required to sponsor new members in order to move up.

Global WealthBuilders Offshore Privacy Club is an internet marketing club that allows members to earn the money they desire to live - and maintain - an upscale lifestyle. With an income upwards of $95,000 members will now have the option to work while lounging at the beach or in any location of their choice. The Global WealthBuilders Offshore Privacy Club gives its members a new set of assets in the form of cash. As their name suggests, they are a global club, welcoming members from all over the world.

One of the best ways to describe the Global WealthBuilders Offshore Privacy Club is to think of it as four separate clubs joined together.

The first club is a “Products Discount” club, similar to Sams Club, Costco or one of the many online product discount clubs available. How does it work? The Club provides members with fully personalized, replicated websites they promote. They make a profit from the items sold on their websites. The profit is the difference between the retail price of an item and the member’s price. If a product has a member’s price of $15.00 and retails for $45.00, then the member making the sale earns the $30.00 difference. There is also nothing for the member to buy unless they choose, or ship. The Club handles those details and the members get to keep the profit.

The second club is a “Digital Products” membership club. There are literally hundreds of these types of online clubs available that charge monthly membership fees of between $25.00-$49.00 for access to the products they offer.

The third club is a “Financial Protection” club. Our members are provided with the very latest information on how and where to structure their financial assets to best protect them and provide the privacy that so many people around the world now desire.

The fourth club is a “Business Opportunity” club. In this club members can offer their products to other members inside the Global WealthBuilders Opportunity Club.

And here is another unique aspect of the Club. When you join as a paying member you are paid up through one full year. Those who join after you do the same thing so you can enjoy monthly profit for the next twelve months without worrying if those you sponsored will quit in one or two months. They can’t. They are also paid up for one full year. And your next yearly payment will be handled by conveniently by having them deducted from your current commissions in years to come.

To be able to find a niche market for information products can be quite a daunting prospect if you don’t know where to look. Publishing niche e-books is a proven business model that can make you a lot of money, but finding niches to exploit can be both time consuming and disconcerting if you struggle to find the right market.

Thankfully there is hope. In this article I’m going to show you a simple plan you can use for finding as many niche markets to sell e-books to as you could want.

The first item you can use is the service of http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/

This is an astounding resource that won’t cost you a penny to sign up to.
Go to the above site and start inputting niche markets that interest you. If you had an interest in fitness you’d type in “fitness”. Then all you need to do is make a list of all of the sub niches within the general niche market of fitness. These are all potential niches for you to make use of.

Then there is the excellent site of amazon.com

The bookselling giant’s amazon.com is an astounding resource for finding niche markets you’d never have thought about entering. Go to the web site and search for “books”. Then type in a niche you’d like to create a product around. For example type in “pets”. Go through the results and start jotting down all of the niche markets that jump out at you.

You may think that this idea is a bit strange and you may ask yourself how can I compete with Amazon, but the truth is you are not. When people buy from Amazon they have to wait days for a book to arrive. As e-book publishers we can present instant pleasure as our customers get our info products straight away as a download.

Another great thing about downloadable info products is inexplicably they are seen to have a higher apparent value. You might be able to charge twenty dollars for a book selling it via Amazon. However if you sell a downloadable info product you can charge up to sixty dollars. Mad but accurate.

Another tool to use is dummies.com

This is another incredible utensil for the niche e-book publisher. You can find a load of niche topics across all of the “…For Dummies” books. The Dummies Company has made creating niche products an art form in its own right. Search through their titles in general niches that interest you and jot down potential e-book topics.

Article directories are another way to find subjects to create e-books around. The directory Go Articles is just one of many in which you can go to the site, type in a niche subject in the search bar and get literally thousands and thousands of e-book ideas.

The key here when visiting these sites is to just make a huge list of possible topics, and then when you’re done go to http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/ and type in your topics. If there are people searching for information on the subject (at least five thousand a month) you’ve just found an e-book topic that could turn into a very lucrative home based business.

Don’t for one second think you can just throw up a site, sit back and become rich. Many would have you believe the internet is just one huge get rich quick scheme. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Done properly e-book publishing can change your financial situation dramatically.

We’re not aiming to become a millionaire here. We want to build a network of mini sites that each makes about 1K a month. Being able to come up with an endless amount of niche product ideas is the key here, and then all you need to do is create the product.

I know what you’re thinking. “All you need to do” is create a product. They’re hard to create right? Well no actually you don’t need to write a single sentence of your e-book. You can hire people to do so at elance.com or guru.com. For around five hundred to seven hundred bucks freelance writers will create the entire book for you.

You are an internet marketer, not a writer. Have one product created, set up pay per click campaigns, write a press release and flash a few articles over the net on the topic of your e-book. Then have another one created, do the same, and so on and so forth.

Numerous streams of autopilot income are the secret of well-off entrepreneurs from around the globe. Now thanks to e-books and the internet, anyone can set up streams of income that sends money into their bank account even whilst they sleep.

Graham Wardle is an information publisher specialising in helping people start their own home based business. You can read up on how to create your own info products in one day without writing a single word by going to www.wealthywish.com

And even if you’re experienced making money online with paid surveys you may learn some new things that will help you in the future. Ready? Let’s get started.

The first and most important thing I am going to tell you in this article is to never pay anyone for a list of paid survey sites. There are a lot of sites out there that want you to pay a membership fee or give them your email address to access their list of paying survey sites, but it is simply not necessary. I can’t tell you this enough. You should never have to pay money to make money when it comes to paid surveys. There are many sites out there that want you to pay for access to a list of paid survey sites, but the information they are selling you is freely available on the internet. Don’t ever pay for this information “” you can get it for free.

Next make sure that you sign up for more than just one paid survey site. One site will not be able to send you enough surveys to make a meaningful difference. You need to sign up for as many paid survey sites as possible so that you can pick and choose the very best paying opportunities.

It takes some time to get used to taking the surveys and after a bit of practice you’ll find that you can do them with your eyes closed. This is when you can really start making money online. In addition, some of the survey sites will not pay you or post the earnings to your account until AFTER their study has closed. This can take up to a month and in the meantime it looks like you’re not making any money. At this point some people begin to think this is a scam, which is not true, and they give up. Don’t give up! Keep at it for 3 months and you will start to see some real money coming in.

It doesn’t matter what kind of paid survey site it is these tips will help you make the most money possible with paid surveys. If you follow these suggestions you’ll have more offers than you’re able to complete and best of all you’ll be creating a steady flow of income that can help pay the bills, pay for a vacation or anything else you need some extra cash for.

One tool that is an absolute necessity in generating income from articles is a good autoresponder. The reason is simple. Very few people will make a purchase on their initial viewing of your article. Most people will not buy until the fifth, sixth, or seventh contact. For that reason, you need a tool to stay in touch with them on a regular basis. That tool is the autoresponder. You can set it up to contact the people on your list as often as you like. I find it kind of annoying if I’m contacted every day, but every two or three days is fine.

The initial goal of the autoresponder is to make your prospects comfortable with you. In the beginning, send them plenty of FREE REPORTS and free gifts that are related to the products you offer. Of course, you can add a short blurb at the end suggesting that they go to yoursite dot com for additional information, but as rule, don’t over-sell in the beginning. In your first six emails, you should make heavy pitches no more than twice.

I like to send out a few three or four page MINI REPORTS. I make sure I send them out one at a time. They are designed to be viral sales pieces. I let prospects know that two or three of these reports make great incentives to get people to opt into their list. I let them know that they have resell and reprint rights for each item. Each mini report contains some good information along with two or three ads for items that I’m currently promoting. They work pretty well because I’m still selling product from Mini Reports that I stopped sending out six months ago.

There are many options available in selecting an autoresponder. Some are free, some can be hosted and operated from your own computer, and some are hosted by companies that charge a monthly fee. The fee based autoresponders range in price from a few dollars per month to over a hundred dollars each month.

Determine how you intend to use your autoresponder before beginning your research. If you will be using it to send out a newsletter to 8000 people monthly, make sure they can handle that many (at no additional charge). If you intend to send out pdf files, make sure your autoresponder can do this and also investigate the maximum download sizes permitted.

After determining how you are going to use it, you are ready to perform a search. By doing a search, you will find a wide variety of autoresponders available. Before making a decision, test them out. Many will allow you to send out test emails to your own email account. Make sure that the test emails do not all wind up in your bulk, or junk email box. If they do, you would be wise to continue looking.

The best thing about your autoresponder is that it will never come into your office and ask you for a raise.

FREE AUTORESPONDER! If you are not already building a list, but would like to start, go to: http://www.milliondollararticle.com/cash9.html for free information on autoresponders.

Web 2.0 offers us blogs, social bookmarking, wikis and feeds. But how to turn all these tools to your website’s favor, and increase your traffic?

Blog and Ping

Whenever you add a feature to your website, or update the content, post about it in a blog, and remember to include a link to the relevant page. You could have a blog on your site for that purpose, or you can register for a free blog in the service of your choice.

Follow each blog post with a ping to search engines and blog catalogs. Many blogs can do this automatically, but you can do it manually, too. Search engines will then find you new post, and follow the links to your new or updated page. When launching a new site, you could post once a day for the first week to make sure your site gets noticed. Link to different pages to ensure search engines don’t stop at your front page.

Socialize It!

Social bookmarking sites like Stumble Upon, Digg and del.icio.us give you many tools to promote your website. The most obvious is posting a blurb about new features and content, and linking to your site. This can be made more effective, if you post about something interesting, like a competition you launch on your site, and then get some friends to vote for your post. Getting your post on the front page may mean hundreds of visitors in just minutes.

Another way to benefit is to add ‘Favorite this website’ and ‘Stumble upon’ links to your website. Then happy visitors can refer you more targeted traffic. Avoid cluttering your site with many links to different bookmarking services, though. Choose those that fit your site image best: a software site should link to Technorati and Slashdot, while a current news site should use Newswine.

Tagging

The idea of tags is categorization of information. They are very much like keywords, and that’s how you should see them. In fact, tag lists are the new ‘keywords’ meta-tag. When tagging your blog posts, keep in mind the keywords you are targeting with search engines.

Tagging draws together both of the earlier topics. They are widely used on social bookmarking sites, but are also indexed by search engines as your page content. If you can incorporate tags well into your website, you can help both you visibility on bookmarking sites, and your search engine rankings.
