The Secret to Making Money Online

Is there a secret to making money online? How do you make money online? Are you happy with the income you make from the internet?

Me personally I do not think there is a secret to making money online, its really about have a business plan and a plan of action then taking action.

Do you have a business plan? Do you have a plan of action? or Do you even take action?

These are questions you must think about before jumping into a online business, why? because if you don't have a plan you are planning to fail. Making money online isn't about fast sales its about strategic planning. Sure some people hit the jackpot and make thousands of dollars online but majority of us online marketers are struggling.

That is why i love hub pages, i know this is only my second hub page but i have been creating websites, blogs, free web pages and squidoo lenses for over a year now and by far I think that hubbing is the best free way to make money online. You don't really need to have a plan all you need to do is write and write about topics you love and know all about.

Creating hub pages gives everybody in the world that has internet connection the opportunity to generate a online income without any cost to us. I myself have invested over $2000 in my online business and i have almost made it all back - I do not regret spending any of that money it has been a great learning curve.

So right now I am going to write a few tips on how to create a online marketing plan and show you a few ways on how you can create a few extra dollars.

Reseach & Niche Creation...

1. What is my marketing asking people to do "First"?

2. Which benefits will get people to do that "First" thing?

3. Who is in your target market?

4. What marketing strategies/marketing tools can you use to get people to do that "first" thing?

5. What is my niche?

6. What is my marketing identity?

7. What is my marketing budget?

These are questions you need to answer every time you begin a new project, maybe not for hubbers but if your an affiliate marketer or creating your own websites to sell your own products this is what you must do.

Now i will give a few quick tips on how to make extra cash.

1. Create a ebook and sell it on ebay, 2. Create a googlepage and make a review on your ebook, 3. Create Blogs and review your ebook on that too, 4. Create a squidoo lens and make a review on that as well.

5. Monetize your lens - blog - hub or website with CPA offers, you own ebook, adsense, or a affiliate products.

6. Capture email addresses using a online capture form personally i use Awebber but any autoresponder will do. Why do you do this?

So you can sell products on the back end, heres 1 example: You give away a product say a ebook which you have written or you have rights to give away someone elses and they send you there Name & Email after they have clicked submit they will then be transfered to another page in which you have a paid offer for them say 5 ebooks and 5 pieces of software for $67.

So if they buy from you, you know that they are definate buyers and if what you sold them was of high quality they will buy again, But if they don't buy you can send them free ebooks that embed your affiliate links or send CPA offers to.

But remember this, the number 1# most important thing that is the reason we make money is TRAFFIC and always use this rule 20% geek work and 80% On the traffic.

My next hub will be on traffic so stay tuned...ICANDY :)
