Hi All,this being my first hubbing experience,I decided to post stuff Useful for One and All.Hope you Enjoy Reading it!And do post in your comments,if you like it (or if you dont also)..Happy Reading :)

Making money online used to be one of the most difficult things,perhaps 10 years ago or so...But now,Its Not as tough as you think.I'll put together a 100% Working strategy that I've found and to my knowledge has absolutely NO INVESTMENT AT ALL,THATS COMPLETELY LEGIT AND WILL BE A RESULT OF YOUR OWN IMAGINATION

Throughout this Hub,I'll take you to a whole lot of opportunities that you can exploit for making your Bucks. AT ANY COST,I WILL NOT ASK YOU TO VISIT ANY COMMERCIAL LINK WHICH WILL ASK YOU TO BUY ANY THING FROM ANYWHERE Only links regarding buying,etc will be the ones from those Amazon ads.

The only links you may find in this Hub will be either linked to a Google Search or something Legit like Microsoft or Yahoo!

First here are somethings,that you should Know:

• DONT trust Search Engines !

Googling out for "Making money online" or "Free money making" or "Home based businesses" will not get you anywhere.Read below to understand why..

• DONT get scammed !!

Most of the things you see online are just unfortunately scams,that either lead you to buying something or want your e-mail for just Spamming/Hacking

 I've written more about scams and tips to avoid them,on this hub:

The-dark-side-of-the-internet---Fake-opportunities-scams-and-more---How-to-protect-your-cash-flow

• DONT trust the Affiliate Marketing System <-- X

It was an awesome thing to do a few years back,but now,Its not anymore....Its a lot tougher than you could possibly think...So DONT waste your time and money investing in it.It just wont work for ordinary people like US - Yeah,thats right,I'm referring to YOU and ME.

• DONT depend on your wordpress/Blogspot blog for Quick cash

If you have an active Advertising account Such as Google's Adsense,and if you're waiting for it to make a fortune someday,All you'll have to do is to keep Waiting! - So wake up!!!

First things First

Get Professional.To survive in this narrow minded world,You got to make sure that you have an extra edge that others dont have.So,lets talk about Getting professional.

• Get yourself an innovative Group/Company Name
• Get yourself a professional Homepage and a blog
• Get yourself some Art+Imagination (Everybody has it by default)

Getting your Group/Company Name

Dont ask me why you need to have a brand name now itself,I'll explain it later,for now,here:

First,board a local Bus or take your car,make sure your bus goes through the most Hi-tech/Trendy Streets in your town,if you're boarding one.Take a pocket-sized notebook with you (and ofcourse,a pen too)

As it goes past those Hi-tech streets and showrooms,make sure you notedown all of the Branded Company Names that you come across.Also try to note their designs if possible.The companies or Logos need not be necessarily related to the field you're looking in for.After you notedown 20-30 of such names,get back to your house,go to your terrace and Lie down there for a while.Close your eyes and start thinking - Imagine ,How you want your company to be and start thinking of some good,innovate names,also try to make a cool design by yourself.Try to make out a name that refers to a broad range of things,also,do consider the fact that,if someone has to choose your brand,they need a good reason to do so,and unless its going to be pretty innovative,it will end up getting lost in the millions out there.And also,make sure its your own,DONT try to Copy what's already been taken and also DONT try to hire people for these small things(Coz many people do so).Once you've finalized with the name,Its almost done! (Trust me on this).You should be confident by now,Coz you're doing something that's entirely made by you,you're not going to be questioned by anyone nor are you answerable to any of them.

Getting some personal Space:

Once that you've decided on your brand/Company name and design,its time to set up a professional website.Now,by professional,I mean professional,It should look appealing with crisp navigational facilities.If its going to be one of those old-fashioned ones,It'll only potray a bad image of your brand to your Consumers.Who are your consumers,you ask??Wait,I have'nt come there yet.....

If you have time,you can build a Professional looking site yourself,but incase you know nothing about web design,and you want a ready-made design right away,then,I have an alternative for that one too!

While there are millions of Sites out there promising to give you free webspace with unbeliveable features (like PHP,ASP,Etc) I am not going to refer you to them even though they may seem like the best to you.Why?Simple,they are'nt reliable and they are'nt by Google or Microsoft or Yahoo! and the like...

So,coming back to professional,here's an unbelievable web-host whom you can depend on - Microsoft !.Yes,you heard it right,Its microsoft!!.Microsoft is providing its users with a professional webbhosting solution to host all of your stuff and I think they are pretty reliable unlike others.

To get started right away,Visit Microsoft's officelive here--> www.officelive.com

It requires a free Microsoft officelive account,so sign-up for one while its free

Things to do at your Site:

• First,upload your brand or Company's Logo in the right place

• Get your company a professional Profile...You may visit the homepages of huge Corporations like Sony,Pioneer,Panasonic...etc to get an idea of how to get it done.Whatever you do,Please DONT copy anything from ANYWHERE !
  

• Create a blog (You may use whatever you like - Wordpress,Blogger or Microsoft's very own blogging services (Recommended) )
• Integrate your Blog with your site,with some help,here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA101726561033.aspx#2

Getting Some Art and Imagination

Here's the important part.Sit down and think for a while - find out what you're good at - be it painting,Drawing,sketching or Designing stuff...find it out yourself and make sure if it will be accepted as a suitable product for your Company - keep the designs with you,we'll use it soon...

It can be a Painting or It can be an amplifier or Some Portable Audio Equipment..or something..But whatever you do,make sure its unique..and its yours..Remember,Articles copied from elsewhere will have a negative impact on you and your reputation.

If you still have'nt got a clue,here are Some Useful resources:

For Electronics related Stuff:

• http://electronics-diy.com/
• http://www.discovercircuits.com/

There are many Circuits provided in these sites,and the Hi-Fi FM transmiters look like good projects to start with.

For Art-related stuff:

• http://deviantart.com/

This place is good to start if you believe that you have'nt got enough artistic skills to start with or if you don't want to waste time making your own art.

However do note that not all the authors of deviant art will allow you to use their work commercially, a few won't like their work to be used for commercial and a few will want you to intimate them before you use their art,and most of them won't mind, you using their work for commercial purposes.You must always choose artwork that has no strings attached to it.

Now we go Straight into business !!

Google out for "Free export Business Directories" or...if you feel quite lazy to type it out,you may click this link.

Once you get a list of sites,go to each business Directory listing and Register there,and in the website column,fill it in with your Website's address.This is important.

In the product Section,or when you're asked what you want to Export,Provide a brief yet professional description of your article/artwork/fancy stuff.But remember,it must be PROFESSIONAL.Try to provide some fancy images of your finished artwork,DONT use the flash light on your Camera to snap your shots,they'll look a little absurd.

Your description of your product should include as to why people(the consumers) will want to select your article instead of others of the same category in their markets

Make sure you fill in your e-mail id in the contact column of each Business directory listing.This is also important as it will be the only mode of communication between you and the Importer (Remember,you're the Exporter here)

Once you've done this,just sit back and wait for a few days and watch the amount of Queries flowing into your inbox !!

IMPORTANT, IMPORTANT ,IMPORTANT !!!:

• Always Choose importers from Niche Regions or Regions where there is Respect and Demand for your product - Like Hongkong,Malaysia,Americas,Australia,United Kingdom....etc
• Once you've started communicating with the Importer,make sure you quote a reasonable yet profitable Price.Pricing your article too high or pricing it too low can affect YOUR/YOUR BRAND's reputation.

• Never Accept import Requests that want YOU to send the articles first.Instead,Choose importers who agree to Pay you atleast 75% of the Quoted price before you send your stuff.There are also importers who pay you 100% of the Quoted Price also (usually the quote is for 100 Articles)
• Once your Deal is done,Start working on your articles,usually the importers provide you with a fixed Deadline.Make sure you finish it before that and always think twice on your deadlines,since they can have a negative impact on your reputation if you don't or can't complete it before the Deadline
  

Note:There are many ways of exporting your stuff-You could get yourself an Export license (which costs a bit (no,I don't sell them) or you could Send it through Some courier or parcel Service.I suggest you try out the parcel Service,If you're just starting out.

ALL THE BEST AND I HOPE TO RECIEVE POSITIVE COMMENTS FROM ALL OF YOU WHO ARE READING THIS :)
