I've got a great money maker for beginners. Wanna know what it is? Of course you do. I know that I can go on and on about how to make money with adsense, and I do. But for today, I will hush about that and we'll talk about alternate ways to make money online that don't have anything to do with adsense and are as easy to make money with as adsense.
Does that sound fair?
Ok.
Easiest way to make money for beginners that I can think of besides using adsense is to do what I'm about to outline for you. To succeed in making money online you've always gotta be on guard for a new concept of making money online. If you're lucky you'll find the newest money maker and be the first to advance like Grizz did when he started targeting "Payday Loans" as an additional keyword. Targeting a keyword like that is serious business because it is considered a Red Flag keyword by Google since it pays out upwards of nine dollars per click. It's too difficult to target something like that with only beginners basic SEO. Getting off topic now we'll save that one for later.
Ok here's what I want you to do:
First a little brainstorming.
Think of some niches that always have customers. One of the first niches that pop into my head is fitness, weight loss, etc. This one applies to the most common concept of MMO which is the law of supply and demand. Being fit and attractive is high in demand thanks to our society today where everyone has to be attractive to "advance" in the world. You better believe it makes a difference when promotion time comes around at work. Being fit and attractive are proven assets for making more money and getting better jobs according to recent psychological studies. People who are attractive and not overweight are more likely to be viewed as trustworthy and competent at their job than employees who are unattractive and overweight. So there is a great market for anything related to looking good.
The method of making money that you're going to use is called offline promotion. For MMO beginners, this one is especially easy because you don't have to rely on getting search traffic through your under developed SEO skills (don't worry we all start out that way especially yours truly). Good news is that you can make money without SEO for now, and the better news is that you can learn SEO and make money with both offline and online tactics later on. However, once you find a balance between the two you can make double the money from search traffic.
For now....
Choose your niche. I'm gonna use weight loss fitness for example. You don'teven have to have a website to make money with this method!
The first thing you do after picking a niche is keyword research. As you are doing this you're looking for phrases that contain your keyword with in the phrase and don't have much competition. Some competition is good, because you can compete with them and those key phrases are getting searched in Google. By doing this you guys are doing basic SEO that will advance your rankings in the SERPs. All SEO isn't as complicated as the experts would have you think. You can do this!
So after you've done that you wanna choose a URL with your main keyword in it if at all possible. Once again this is a very powerful and easy SEO technique for beginners. Continuing with the example let's say I chose weightloss.com and it was taken so then I chose weight-loss.com and got it. Great.
The next thing you can do is to join an affiliate program specifically for losing weight that converts well and pays you a decent commission of 25 to 50 bucks per sale. The way that you make money without a website or blog is that you redirect your URL to your affiliate link so that, in English, when a person types in your URL they are automatically sent to the site you're an affiliate of where they land on the sale page. Now this technique is considered "cloaking" and some people debate whether or not is ethical, but that's for you to decide for yourself. It's a lot easier than starting a blog and putting an affiliate link in a post and hoping that you get at least 15% of your traffic to click it.
This way you get 100% of your traffic to go through your affiliate link. That an 85% increase in possible sales conversion - which is a damn good argument in favour of this MMO tactic. Easily the best money maker for beginners aside from adsense.
Alright all that sounds pretty good and the numbers are in your favor to make killer commissions but how do you get people to find your site?
This is where "offline promotion" will make you the big money. You do it the old fashion way with leg work. Go to all your local gyms and put up flyers with you URL and a description of the product and post them on bulletin boards or put flyers on cars at the gym too. Do anything to get noticed. Consider any concept of making money online available to you. Examine all avenues that could get the word out for your affiliate site.
Next put ads in newspapers with a few words and most importantly your URL. There are lots of little papers that allow ads for free, take advantage of them. Most you gotta pay for but shouldn't cost much. You make one sale that way and you'll make a profit as cheap as some ads are. The more creative you get offline the more money you will make online. You can make money like this the free way as well, just be creative with it. I guess you can see why this is such a money maker for beginners as there is hardly any expense to you at all besides the cost of a domain name which you can get anywhere from 5 to 8 bucks. After you've done your offline promotion you don't have to work for money any more. No posts to write or website to maintain, just ocassional offline promotion.
