Pre-sidebar to this hub---FYI, before you continue reading

this Hub, I want you to know I am NOT selling anything here,

I am not gaining anything by trying to help the *newbie*to

making $$ online - I am just *doing* it because I want to -

I want people to see in an easy to follow step-by-step method

EXACTLY how to do it; and that it CAN be done and it isn't

even hard.

 

When many people think about making money on the internet, most make the wrong assumption that "oh, it's just too much work; too much to learn; I don't know how to make a website; I don't know anything about marketing, I don't know html, etc....on and on.

You have defeated yourself before you probably even entered the room the computer is in or lay a pinky to the keyboard!

Stop that! Stop with the "I DON'T"and get busy with the "I CAN" (the little train that could was right you know) and " I Know about such and such". And even if you don't know about anything (which is HIGHLY unlikely) - I'll give you that too.

I am going to tell you how very easyit is to make an income on the internet without having to know ANY html, without knowing anything about java (and I don't mean coffee), without learning how to get high search engine rankings, without PAYING for traffic and WITHOUT ever having a website (if you don't want one). And, NO, this is NOT AN AD!!!

Do you even have to lift a finger?

YES ;} But it isn't hard and if you are hubbing; you already know how to do one very valuable thing toward your goal and don't even know it. Can you write a half decent hub? Then you can make money online.

There are many formulas; I am going to give you one. One for the ease of hub-flow. lol. If you just follow through with these simple instructions; you will be on your way to not only earning extra income but having FUN doing it; making friends doing it; learning fun stuff doing it.

The only hard part of this is for me is trying to decide which formula to tell you about -- I've given this a lot of thought; after all I've been in business online for over a decade and it is my SOLE income (which has nothing to DO with writing as in Selling what I write) but I have to Know how to write to make a sales page in my business.

I don't HAVE another job I have to go to everyday - I just have to get out of bed, take 2 left turns and I'm at the office!

So I said to myself - Melanie, if your best friend came to you and said she lost her job; had no rent money and was nearing being evicted - what would I tell her? Well, since she doesn't HAVE a computer (but does know how to use one) - the first thing I'd do would be give/lend her one of my laptops and say "LISTEN UP!" Get a pen and paper, write this all down and you'll be fine!

#1 - Make this list and then go to each of these websites and sign up for every one of them and do it in this basic order as well. Notice they are ALL social-networking site.

Join:

Hubpages.com

Facebook.com

Linkedin.com

Care2.com

blogspot.com

Squidoo.com

Digg.com

(Later on, look for others, there are over 100)

#2 - Once you are all signed up decide what you want your page(s) to look like, most place give you that option with the exception of Hubpages. A "look" gives a feel and do not discount the importance of that. Keeping the look the same or similar will help with several things; one of them being branding. People remember how a site they like *looks*.

#3 - Know what you want to write about and know your topic well. Once you have decided what that is, scoot on over to Clickbank.com and begin to research (find) products or services that are in the arena you like to write about. You WILL find some, every type of something is sold there.

#4 - Set up an account with clickbank (free) to be an affiliate - which is what you are when you sell other peopls products, an affiliate. Then make your *hoplink* - this is a thoroughly explained in their FAQ's. Chose a good hoplink name as you are rather stuck with it once you have it.

#5 - I would NOT recommend writing a great article and then sending people over to buy *junk*; it is up to you -- but for me, if I decide to promote aka: affiliate, with a product, I buy it and read it or use it, see how it is, fluff or more; junky and useless or a good "gizmo".

If I Don't like it at all or find it utterly useless I won't sell it! But that's just me, there is plenty of junky stuff that sell by the caseload - so if your conscience doesn't bother you - then you have the *world as your oyster* so to say.

#6 - Install a statcounter so you can see where your traffic is coming from, use the invisible one at statcounter.com - it is by far the Very Best one I have ever found, it's free which amazes me and the information it gives you is worth a LOT. My Only reason for having a sta counter is to see Where my traffic comes from (yes, it give you the exact url) and also with a new site, to see if I've been indexed yet by certain SE. You will have fun with it too. I believe it is the 4 or 5th link to the left once you are inside your site that brings you to *where visitors came from*.

In a nutshell - Write about something Interesting that is also interesting to ALOT OF PEOPLE. Use your articles to sell your affiliate *stuff* and you get paid every two weeks like clockwork by Clickbank.

I suppose I may have simplified this maybe a tad too much but I really don't think so and I do Not wish to overwhelm someone New to this.

-- if you do the above *right* - be fair and write well; I don't see how you can lose. Especially right now with Hubpages getting such high rankings with google! It's terrific!

Please give it a try and let me know how it goes for you!!

Best of luck (no luck involved) - Melanie

Here's to earning extra income !!!!

 

One + One Equals = Money!

Well Melanie you have certainly did your job very well here. I will be printing out your hub to read, and refer to often. Thank you, you have no idea how big of a help you have been with writing just this one hub. People tell you all the time about making money, but you have spelled it out like 1-2-3.

Thanks so much!

Melanie,

I appreciate someone that cares enough to give directions that are very clear, concise and above all honest business advice. I have had a clickbank nickname for almost 2 years, and haven't did a thing with it. Your hub is very encouraging to keep trying.

I did want to ask what is care2.com?

Hi Melanie,

Great information about How to makey money online WITHOUT ever having a website! Definitely worth a BIG thumbs up. Always nice to read this kind of quality information without the BS and hype. Keep it up ;-)

I've been involved with affiliate marketing for a little while now and I absolutely love it. Best part is I've already made some Clickbank sales, so now I'm 100% addicted :-)

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great and concise info. I have been at this a few months and looking for all of the help I can get. I work at Affiliate Marketing in my spare time. But with 3 boys and a full time job I am a little limited for time. There are a few helpful things in here I haven't tried yet but will soon.

Janneke profile image

Janneke  says:

Hey Melanie,

You're right, so here goes...

Here's what you said to Hal: "I am giving you a standing ovation right now!

Best thing with the most truth to it I have read probably in a couple months.

GREAT JOB!!!!!!

Melanie"

So I said: "you seem to agree with Hal, but you have a hub or two where you mention making money with Adsense and affiliate marketing which I do not understand completely...

Or am I missing something here?

Just curious."

So I was actualy referring to what you said to Hal about his hub ;-)

Now, about my hub...

(A part of what) You said: "It's all about YOU and YOUR affiliate statis and what THEY tell you to say to people."

Well, that's not true...

I actually purchased the system first to check it out and then I did what Matt teaches in his video tutorials. Then I uploaded my first (one of the three) affiliate review site, changed a few things here and there and started promoting it, using the resources provided inside the program.

So after seeing what's inside the program and actually putting it to use, I then used some of the background information on Matt and started writing my own review.

But since I'm not a professional writer or writer by nature I did use some more info from the sales page (you got me there) and added my own experience in my own words, and not what they tell me to say :-)

Then I made a few sales using Matt's system (I actually jumped into the air from joy and shouted to my boyfriend: "Honey! ...I've made a few sales! Wheee!!!") and updated my hub with the proof.

Now, I think that should cover it all... I certainly hope it does because this takes much more time than I thought it would ;-)

Best regards, Janneke.

Janneke - I am not going to argue with you - whatever works.....

But if your hubs are getting flagged = stands to reason something - even just ONE thing isn't working.

Best regards, Melanie

Janneke ---

Let me ask you a question webby101 - Do you see ANY difference between that hub you have that is flagged and this one?

BTW - HOW MANY links do you see on this hub??

Is THIS HUB flagged? no

Have I ever HAD a hub flagged and taken down? no

How many Hubs have you written (I didn't look)? And if it is over 10, HOW many have been flagged?

Does the information contained IN this Hub COST anything to ANYONE? no - so what kind of a question is that to ask me??

You are SELLING. I am NOT SELLING on this particular page - you are taking symantics to an entire new level of picky!

When I wrote to you initially, I was TRYING to be polite and teach/show/explain something for you/to you. This has become ridiculous.

Dear Jim10 - Just take it easy - don't fall for any MLM scams or those phoney "make millions in your underware!" things...

Remember - if it looks to good to be true - IT IS. Click the other way and FAST! Not probably is, but IS.

Best of luck to you; with honesty, integrity, learning and some hard work you can do just fine.

Hi, I'm glad I found you randomly here. I've enjoyed your poison coke vs water hub lol. Thank you for your internet tips. I joined about 3 months ago and my earnings are still 0.00, but I will put your tips to good use :D

adrienne2  says:

Melanie, Just to follow up I have the first base covered pretty easy due to I already belong to differerent social networks. But my problem is trying to pick a product I can't afford to just buy to test it out some folks go with the low gravity numbers. I certainly don't want to write about a product that sucks. I love this one product the TV on your computer which allows you to do all kinds of cool things. Would I be shooting a dart in the dark to pick this one without really trying it first?

One other quick question why do you need to clock your hoplink if you're putting them on your own blog or website?

Dear Queensday - always glad to amuse!  :}

Also happy to ever be of any help!

 

Melanie

privateye2500  says:

Dear adrienne2 , no, I don't think you would be shooting in the dark really.

Certainly, it is *nice* to know the product first hand, but if there are a lot of chargebacks - you will know that the advertising is good - the product isn't. If you can't afford it right now - don't feel *bad* that you want to promote something you havn't tried; people do it everyday and there is nothing wrong with it. IMO!

Sorry, your other Q, it is important if you are worried about your link getting *highjacked* - also, many marketers just don't like the way they *look*.

Personally, I think if you have chosen a GOOD CB name, it isn't a problem.

Melanie - Best regards to everyone!

adrienne2 profile image

adrienne2  says:

Thanks Melanie, yes I was worried about the highjacking my CB is unquie so I should be good. By the way that statcounter is AWESOME I can't believe its free it actually gives you the location (city) of the computer the person is from. I am sure good fortunate will come your way for just taking the time to help us green folks.

Melanie,

I am writing just to say thank you for your hubs, I actually did it. I got a sale. If it wasn't for you and your hubs I would have given up, and I was at the point of throwing in the towel. I followed what you said in this hub and it WORKS, ir really happened. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this information, and actually show us what to do, and how to get the sales. The statcounter just like you said is an invaulable tool, I used it just like you said folks, you can do it. I didn't think I could really do it. But this information on this hub made a believer out of me!

Asked: "One other quick question why do you need to clock your hoplink if you're putting them on your own blog or website?"

You don't - there is no real need to cloak them any more - at one time there was a real need to do this but CB has changed their methods so it is not Mandatory any longer for you to get your 30 day link credit or payment.
