Do
you wish there was an easier way
to make money online? Of course we all do. But
while there
are dozens
of ways to make money
online, still 95%
of those starting up internet businesses fail.
One
of the easiest
ways to make money online
is selling digital products. Digital products could be an ebook, an MP3, video or software. Selling these products is fast, easy and commands
big profit margins. No inventories
to watch, delivery trucks are non-existent and most
of all
it works 24 hrs
a day 7 days
a week. Really an entrepreneurs
dream come true.
What are
the exact steps involved
to make money online with selling digital products? The following steps have been proven
to be effective:
1. Choose the
right product.
The first thing
that you need to do is
get a
product that you can sell. Be
certain that you choose the right
product to sell. In choosing a product, you can either create
your own or sell other peoples product. However, you must ensure that the product you
will sell is
in demand and that it is something that
many people want or need.
You may check clickbank.com to see and get a feel
of what products are in high demand. If youve been in the internet
for three to four months and have been subscribing for those newsletters from
sites you visited, then you may now have an idea
of what topics attract large crowds. Subjects on golf,
search engine traffic, weight loss, marketing, adsense, dog training, personal
improvement and make money online have proven well overtime. There are some niche subjects which also have been
drawing huge following.
Remember, the number of people looking for that particular topic, product or subject is extremely important.
You cant make money online if only a handful is interested with that product you are trying to sell. The number of competitors also plays an important role. As much
as possible, choose an area with
lesser competition. If youre just starting
out, it is hard to compete with guys
who are the McDonalds of the industry. If youre a bit sophisticated, there are
tools available to figure this out.
You can try the keyword tools and look for topics that have been searched by volumes and volumes.
These tools also
provide you with the number of competing websites. There is wordtracker.com, inventory.overture.com that you can start with.
If you dont want to create
your own product, you can
easily find hundreds of products with master resale rights. What are master resale rights (MRR)? If you own a product with MRR, you have the right to sell it to others and keep all the profit for yourself! With master resale rights, the person who buys from you can also get the resale rights to the product.
There are also products with private label rights. Private label rights give you freedom to alter the product or change the content and put your name on it as the author or originator. You may try warriorforum.com and look
at the
warriors special offer (WSO) for
great deals on resale rights.
2. Build your website.
Now dont scratch you head yet. You
will not be
building a full blown website but a very
simple three page site. The
pages are: Sales letter Page, Thank You Page and the Download Page. Trial and completely free web building softwares are available for
download. Theres the 123WYSIWYG and NVU which are both easy to use. If youre not that tech driven then you can hire some college kids in your neighborhood who might be
good at building websites. Or you can try elance.com and rentacoder.com to find somebody to do this. Just focus on your goal to make money online.
To accept payment, just use Paypal. Its easy to get. Using the standard Paypal button is
okay. Paypal will ask you for the redirect page, in this
case, use your Thank You Page. Don't put the
download link there. Put an opt-in in box instead. Say that you will send the download link in the
email. The opt-in box is extremely important if you want to build a
business. You will have the
chance to capture customer information here. You can make money online over and over again once you have a large list of customers.
In the
email that goes out after a person subscribes to your opt-in, you will tell them where to download the product. Your download page should contain a link to your product with a few directions on how to download and how to use it. If you are selling an ebook in PDF format, tell them that Adobe Reader is required and point them where they can download it.
3. Generate traffic.
Once you have chosen your product and created your website, you must attract
visitors. You cannot make money online if your
site doesnt have visitors. You can get
traffic to your website in many different ways. However, you want to be certain that you bring in the right kind of traffic. What is the right kind of traffic? Targeted! You want
visitors to come to your site because they want to, not because they are forced to. You want visitors that are interested in your product.
One of the ways to attract traffic is
search engine marketing (SEM). SEM is a set of marketing methods to increase the visibility of a website in search engine results pages. Yahoo and Google are the
top two
sites where most of the web searches come from. Experts estimate that Google account for 45% of the searches while Yahoo gets 30%. In order to make money online, your website must be listed in the top 30 results of the search engines. Do you think anyone would bother to look on page 97 of the results? or page 110?
Your sites ranking on the search engines will depend on how
optimized it is with the keywords you choose and the number of
competition it has. The lesser the competition for the
specific keyword, the
higher the chance of your site to get to the top of the search engines and the chance to make money online is significantly increased.
Another way to get visitors to your site, and this is the quickest one, is by pay per click advertising (PPC). You can try the Google adwords program, Miva and
Goclick. Be very careful, however, as PPC advertising may burn your pockets and your plan to make money online would be affected. Make
sure to set your
daily budget when doing PPC.
These three simple steps to make money online when followed would get you the results you want. There are dozens of ways to make money online. What separates the successful online entrepreneur from a failure is focus and consistency of efforts. Most of the people starting to make money online get sidetracked with every new program that comes to them. If you want to make money online, choose
one specific way, and then follow that way until you succeed. Dont jump from program to program. Author is giving ebooks at

Good Times To Be Had In Charlotte
Charlotte,
North Carolina boasts some very significant
statistics. It is
the largest city in the entire state
of North Carolina and also the 20th largest city in the entire United States. Charlotte's name is steeped in history due
to the fact that it got its namesake from Queen Charlotte,
who was
a wife of King
George the third in England. The name "Charlotte Hornets" was given to the NBA team that resided in Charlotte,
which also has
a historical significance.
During the Revolutionary War, British invaders of Charlotte were
driven out by the fierceness of the city's residents. General Cornwallis, a prominent revolutionary figure, called the city "a hornet's nest of rebellion",
which resulted in the
moniker of the popular basketball team. In 2002, the Hornets were moved to New Orleans, and a new team was forged for Charlotte.
Dubbed the Charlotte Bobcats, tourists can catch them playing a game
at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena,
built in fall of 2005. Charlotte is also a football fan's delight. The Carolina Panthers are based in Charlotte, and games can
be attended at the city's Bank of
America stadium.
Charlotte offers extensive accommodations for those who would vacation there. Quaint bed & breakfasts can be found throughout the city, as well as world-class hotels for those who wish to have an elegant experience in the city. One unique thing to do on a trip to Charlotte would be to visit the
Mint Museums.
There are two: the Mint Museum of Art and the Mint Museum of Craft & Design.
These two attractions feature a range of fine art, giving visitors a unique chance to view some truly classic works. Visitors also often delight
over simply walking around Charlotte's historic Fourth Ward district, which features unique architectural works such as "Grand
Old Ladies", a type of home that was predominantly built in the 1800s. Downtown Charlotte has everything a bustling city needs: by simply walking the streets,
you can see how wonderfully Charlotte is managed.
It is a very clean city
with beautiful, towering buildings and numerous outdoor cafes due to the great weather that Charlotte features. The financial district is also of note to those who would like to explore the city; Charlotte's history is steeped in finance, and to this day its influences can be seen. Southern hospitality is definitely in full swing in this city, and there are plenty of
things to keep you busy. I highly recommend that everyone should visit Charlotte at least once in their lives.
