One, I may be recommending a business or activity that you may not have the expertise, resources, or passion for it. If that happens, it may be difficult or impossible for you to succeed in it, even if other people are making money from it.

The second reason is that, it may limit your creativity, and knowledge of how making money on the Internet works.

Instead of telling you, go do this business or that, and you will be making money, I believe it’s better to lay before you the different ways people are making money on the Internet that I know, and trust, some of which I’m doing presently with result to show.

From there, you will be able to assess yourself and decide which one you could do.

Having a Content Site

You can create a website to provide information to your target audience. The success factors in content sites are:

- Targeting topics with huge monthly search volume. You will need to do keyword research to decide which topic or subject to focus your website on. Keyword research will enable you to have an idea of the number of people that may be interested in your topic. For content sites, you should pick topics that have huge monthly search, preferably in the millions.

- Posting huge volume of articles or contents. It is not enough to set up a content site and post five to ten articles in it, and expect it would start making you money. successful content sites, that bring in hundreds of thousands of traffic monthly usually have thousands of unique articles.

If you cannot write the articles yourself, you can outsource it to freelance writers, but ensure that the articles are unique and are not copies. If you have Private Label Articles, you should rewrite them to make them unique before using on your site.

Another way you can provide articles for your website without you personally writing them or paying for them, is to offer revenue sharing proposition to other people. They will provide the articles, and whatever revenue (usually adsense) their articles can generate, you will share it (may be 50-50).

You don’t have to load your site with hundreds of articles overnight. That will be both demanding on you, and also raise the suspicion of search engines, as they could perceive it as an attempt to manipulate it, and so could avoid indexing the site. You should gradually build the website with articles. If you could post 20 articles in a week in it, that will build up to a sizeable amount in one year.

- Optimizing your articles for search engine traffic. For your content site to be successful, that is, to be making you thousands of dollars or Euros or both, many of its pages need to rank highly on the search engines. This will enable it to pull in huge volume of search engine traffic. And with huge traffic coming in, it becomes easy to make money from it through different monetization methods you may decide to use.

To achieve your pages ranking high on search engines, you will need to optimize your articles, and the pages.

Examples of content websites include xomba.com, about.com, wikipedia.com, allbusiness.com, mahalo.com, and zenhabits.net

Having a Programmed Website

You can set up a website to help people achieve certain goals. For instance, you can have software on your site to enable people search for something, treat and upload files, pictures, or videos, distribute materials over the Internet, do certain calculations and provide useable information for people, watch and follow sports events, etc.

If you are not a programmer, you will need to pay someone to help you design the program you want for your site, therefore, you should be ready to spend some money to have it done.

Programmed websites can be very lucrative, especially if there are lots of people who may need your service.

You can monetize such websites by offering the service for free to draw traffic, while monetizing the traffic with adsense, affiliate product sales, and selling advert space. You could also monetize it by charging for the advanced results the software provides.

Examples of programmed websites are google.com, youtube.com, and simplyhired.com.

Having a Content and Programmed Website Combined

You can actually set up a content website, and also have software to perform specific function in it. With this kind of website, you will be providing your visitors great value. The result of this is that it will be easier for your monetization strategies to convert as your visitors are relaxed and stay long on your site.

Providing a Service

Another way you can make money on the Internet is to provide certain services, like articles writing, blogging, proofreading, web designing, graphics, link building, and programming.

To appear professional, which can increase your marketability, you can set up a website or blog to refer prospective clients to.

You may not need to be the one to do the jobs, you can prospect for, and get clients, and then hire freelancers to do the job.

Blogging

Based on your experience or knowledge of a topic or industry, you can set up a blog to share it with other people who may be interested in it.

You can make lots of money from your blog if it becomes popular, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors and followers monthly. There are blogs making up to $50,000 and above monthly for their owners. And this proves how easy it is to make money with blogs.

However, it takes time to build a successful blog. You need to frequently update your blog with fresh and rich content. At the beginning, it might be tough with little or no money made, but if you continue, you could over time build a massive group of dedicated readers and followers who would easily respond to any product you recommend to them.

These are the ways people are legally making serious money on the Internet. You can see which one you want to do. But know that success doesn’t come overnight. You will have to give yourself a minimum of six months of continual and persistent work on your business, learning and applying what you need to do, without expecting to start making any money. If you persevere, the money will surely come.

Setting Up a Mini-website

You can set up a mini-website containing 5 to 20 pages, and promote it with paid advertising, such as adwords. You will need to have a budget for advertising, and decide the best advertising strategy for you.

You can use such websites to promote affiliate products, or your own products, and strive towards making a profit. You could actually make a good profit if your sales are well up over your expense on advertising.

This method of making money on the Internet can yield result a lot faster than the others because you are paying for immediate traffic. However, you need to learn how to get the best targeted traffic to your site, and how to make the site to convert well, otherwise, you could be losing money.

Example of such mini-websites is Debt Consolidation Help.

Or, you may have actually registered one and made hundreds of dollars in only a few days, but just as you were about to roll out the drums to celebrate your new found “instant money-making machine”, you woke up one morning to find your Google adsense account has been terminated and the money gone.

Now, why would Google suddenly terminate your account without giving any reason?

I will tell you the reason, and I will say quickly that it is not what you may want to hear, but it is the truth. If you know me well, you would know I don’t believe in hype or covering up something to lure people into accepting it.

Google did not terminate your adsense account because you are a Nigerian, no, no, that’s far from it. The simple reason your account was terminated is because you went against their policy regarding their parked domain program.

You may not know since you didn’t read their terms of use, and policy when signing up to display their adsense on your parked domain, but ignorance, as they say in law, is no excuse. One aspect in Google’s adsense parked domain program policy is that you must not promote the parked domain in any way. You must not send traffic to it either through article marketing, link building, PPC, paid to click, social media marketing, or by any other marketing methods.

Once Google discovers that traffic is moving to your parked domain, and they trace the traffic to any marketing effort, they will immediately terminate your adsense account and return whatever you may have made to their advertisers.

Google believes that sending people to a site that has no content whatsoever, but adverts is a fraudulent way to make money from them, because you are indirectly asking those you send there to click on any link since there is nothing else they would do anyway.

Such clicks are not valuable to advertisers who pay for them since they are not made from free will. And as Google will of course act to protect its platform and advertisers from paying for valueless clicks, such publisher’s account will be terminated, and earnings forfeited.

The only traffic Google will allow to a parked domain site containing its adsense is that from organic search. If someone made a search for a domain on a search engine and got your domain, visited, and clicked on a link there, Google will not frown on that.

Another kind of traffic Google will not terminate your account for is traffic from links that were created to the site before it was for any reason turned into a parked domain.

What I mean is this: You have a site up for some time, and have promoted it then by building links to it through article marketing, link exchange, etc. Later on, you decided, for instance, that you want to redo the site and that in the mean time you want to park it and have Google adsense on it. Because those links have been there before the domain was parked with adsense, Google will not terminate such publisher’s account.

However, such publisher must not continue promoting such domain.

So, if you have had your account terminated after joining their parked domain program, which you directed traffic to, that must have been the reason for the termination of your account, although they will never disclose the reason for terminating anyone’s account.

If you are still promoting your parked domain, and it hasn’t been terminated, it’s only because either Google has not found your domain out, or they are still investigating, know that the hammer may drop soon.

Bottom Line:

The bottom line I will like to draw here as I conclude this article is that it is always adviseable to read and understand the terms of use, or company policy, before signing up or registering for any program with any company or website you desire to participate with. If you don’t, you may find yourself going against their rule without knowing it, and in the end your efforts and money can come to not.

Also, it is important to stick by the rule governing the operation of any program you are participating in online, rather than trying to bend or manipulate the rule, you may not get far before you are found out and banned.

If Google says you must not promote a parked domain containing its adsense, that’s their rule, and you shouldn’t do it. If their program doesn’t meet your quest of making money online, you can always find another program or business that you can do instead – there are alternatives.

If your adsense account is terminated for infringing on their policy statement, it could be difficult signing up again for another one.

Therefore, the more articles you have on your website, the more the number of people that will be visiting it to read the information you provide. This is why high content websites, with thousands of unique articles usually receive hundreds of thousands of visitors each month.

With such huge traffic, it becomes almost automatic to be making thousands of dollars every month, and the great thing about this is that the earnings is passive as little or no more work is needed again after having lots of articles on the sites.

For a lot of people, generating articles consistently for their website is a huge problem, it is so difficult that after posting five to ten articles, they get dry on content ideas, and soon their websites become abandoned project. But that shouldn’t be, there are many ways by which you can easily generate articles for your website or blog continually, and this is what I want to share with you today.

Here they are:

1. Visit Websites, Blogs and Forums Related to Your Topic

You can call this nosing around, but it offers you the opportunity to have topic ideas to write about on your website. By doing a search on google for sites related to your topic, you can find related websites with lots of good articles. You can read any of these articles, and from your understanding of the information they pass, you can write another from a different perspective and a different title.

Even if you write it from the same perspective as the original writer, as long as you write it in your own words and understanding, it will still be unique and fresh. Please don’t just copy the original article or some of its paragraphs and paste on your site, that is plagiarism; it is illegal, and it’s a crime.

Visiting blogs and forums related to your website topic is also a great way to get article topic ideas for your website. From what visitors to blog or forum are contributing or have contributed in past posts, you can identify the general interests in the industry, and from there land topics to shed light on for your website’s visitors. The beautiful thing about using this means to generate articles is that you will not only discover topic ideas to write on, the contributions of users of the blog or forum will offer you the content to develop your articles with.

2. Relating Your Personal Experience

From your daily personal experiences, whether good or bad, you can draw out some lessons to write about for your visitors. This is especially effective with blogs. Apart from the fact that visitors to your blog will appreciate reading about your personal life experiences, it will also help in cementing a relationship with them.

Articles for your blog don’t always have to be on the technicalities of your industry, you should sometime share your personal experiences with lessons for your readers to pick. In fact, blogging was initially about relating daily personal experiences before it evolved into what it is today. Therefore, it is perfectly okay to write some personal articles sometimes.

3. Using PLR Articles

Public Label Right, PLR, articles are articles that you can buy and have the right to use whichever way you like, including putting your name on them as the writer. This seem to be the easiest way to get loads of articles as fast as possible, as long as you have the money to buy them, but there are certain things about PLR articles you have to know.

One, since you are certainly not the only one to own such articles, hundreds or even thousands of blogs and websites may already have the articles posted on their pages. It therefore means that if you are just posting them directly on your blog or website, you will not get your blog’s search engine ranking enhanced. Search engines will only acknowledge the first site to post the articles. Your site may even fall under the hammer of Google duplicate content policy, which could make Google not to index your website, and so lose search engine traffic.

Another drawback from using PLR articles directly on your website is that if everybody has them on their sites, your visitors, who may have read them elsewhere, may not perceive your website or blog as an authority in your field.

To get the best from PLR articles for your website, you will need to rewrite the articles before posting them on your website.

4. Product Review

Sometimes, instead of writing and posting articles on your website or blog, you can review products, including for your visitors. A lot of your visitors will appreciate an honest review of products they may be interested in purchasing. Let them know both the advantages and the disadvantages the products might have so that they can make up their minds to whether they should buy or not.

By doing this, visitors to your website or blog will gradually come to trust you, and they may even buy the products through your affiliate link.

5. Using Free Articles

There are lots of free article directories on the Internet where you can get articles to post on your blog for free. These include goarticles, Ezinearticles, ideamarketers, contentdesk, articlehub.com, articlealley, and ezinesearch.

However, be aware that you will be required to post the articles just the way they are written, with backlinks to the writers’ sites. And as with PLR articles, they don’t increase your search engine ranking and they don’t give you an expert status before your visitors. But you can still go ahead to posting them on your website if you are using other traffic strategies than through the search engines.

6. Hiring Freelance Writers

If you can afford it, this is the easiest way, I think, to ensure your website never runs dry of articles. All you do is find good freelance writers and give them the topics you need articles on. You will have the copyright to the articles as the writers would have agreed to this, and so you are sure of having fresh, original articles for your blog.

In addition, no other person can post the articles on their sites without your consent. You will be able to find Nigerians to write for you at popular forums such as sec.com, and nairaland.com

7. Hiring Freelance Bloggers

As is becoming common these days, you can simply hire a freelance blogger to be making post to your blog daily. You will have to be sure the blogger understands your writing style and is able to make their posts as though you were the one doing it yourself. This is to avoid offending your loyal readers who may have gotten used to your writing style only to be thrown off balance by a totally different writing pattern.

8. Using Guest Writers

You can offer opportunity for people to write for your website or blog as guest. With this arrangement you will receive free contents while the contributors will get backlinks to their websites. However, ensure that the articles are fresh, unique, and rich before you publish them.

9. Forming Partnership

Instead of trying to do it alone, you can partner with one or two people to build a website, with each partner contributing articles to the website. This removes pressure from one person providing contents for the site, and also provides the site lots of articles quickly.

10. From Books And Magazines

Reading books and magazines related to your website’s topic can inspire article topic ideas to develop for your website, and also give you the points you need to write the articles.

11. From Local News Media

You can get lots of article topic ideas for your website from the numerous TV and radio programs on diverse topics that come on air daily, in addition to the surplus newspaper articles that are also published every day. Again, the great thing about this means is that from the discussions and analysis in the media, you will be able to generate points to use in developing your articles.

Most people who use the Internet for information seeking don’t usually know before hand the websites from which they could get the information. Hence, they rely on search engines to help them bring out the best websites that contain the information they are looking for.

Therefore, if your website or blog is well optimized to attract search engines, you could be having a sizeable quantity of the traffic that use them monthly. Depending on the niche your website or blog is focusing, you could be having hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people visiting your site every month from the search engines. With such huge traffic, which is free, making big money from the site easily becomes a reality.

Now, the main issue is having your website or blog well positioned to rank high on the search engines, and so be able to get a huge chunk of the traffic from them.

A lot of newbies to the Internet just set up websites or blogs, and leave it, hoping that people who are interested and looking for information in their subjects will find them somehow. No, it doesn’t happen that way. There are certain things you need to do on your new (or old) website or blog to be able to bring in search engine traffic.

Before looking at these things, I will like to say that we will be limiting our optimization only to google search engine. Google is the largest of them all, and if you could optimize your site for google search engine, it will also reflect on the others, such as yahoo and MSN.

Tag Your Site For Search Engines

After your website or blog is designed, you need to tag it so that search engines can easily recognize what it is all about. If you didn’t tag it, it will not be possible for the search engine to index or display it in its search result because the search engine cannot figure out what the site is offering.

There are two important tags you must input on your website or blog after you have designed it, to tell the search engine what it needs to know about the site to enable it to index it when a search for related keyword to its subject is made. These are “meta name description”, and “meta name keyword” tags.

“Meta name description” describes your website or blog to the search engine, telling it what your site is about. This description should have your keyword in it. Below is the meta name description html code you should have on the header portion of your site:

The second tag, “meta name keyword”, shows a list of relevant keywords to your site. It further helps the search engine to know what your site is all about. The html code for the “meta name keyword” tag is

As I mentioned above, both Meta tags should be at the header portion of the website or blog.

Set Your Permalink Structure

If you are using WordPress blog and haven’t set your permalink, if you click on any of your previous posts you will see it reads something like: http://example.com/?p=N , where N is the Post ID number.
This is the default Permalink that WordPress will display for that page. But this does not help you as long as the search engine is concerned. It doesn’t say anything about the kind of information you have on that page, and so the search engine will not index it if someone searches for the kind of information you have there – and there goes your traffic!

If you have set up your Permalink, the URL of that page will describe the page by showing the title of the article on it, which would contain relevant keywords. The URL will look something like this:

http://NAME.com/blog/category/internet-marketing-ideas-tips/page/2, where “internet-marketing-ideas-tips” is the title of the article.
.
If someone was searching for internet marketing ideas, this page would definitely be index by the search engine because its url has internet marketing ideas.

Apart from your posts, if you have your Permalink set up, it will also reflect in all comment and archive pages.

To set up Permalink structure for your blog, you would need to log in to your admin panel of your WordPress Theme, then go to Option (or Settings for recent version of WordPress theme). You will find the Permalinks link there, click on it and you will be taken to the Permalink page where you can set up Permalink structure for your blog.

There are different Permalink formats given that you can choose from, such as the ones that will make your blog pages read like: http://example.com/category/post-name/, http://example.com/year/month/day/post-name, or http://example.com/achive/post_id/

And if you want to customise your Permalink, including making it to end in .htm, there is a box you will type in the format you desire in this manner: /%category%/%postname%/%post_id%.htm

By /%category%/ it means the URL will show the category in which the post is made; %postname% means the URL will show the title of the article on the page; %post_id% means that the URL will show the page ID, which is the page number.

Although the URL of this page http://NAME.com/blog/category/internet-marketing-ideas-tips/page/2 takes the format /%category%/%postname%/%post_id%.htm, you can use any other format, but use the one that has the %postname% tag so that the title of the article on the page, which contains the keyword of the searcher, will be shown.

Get Listed On Search Engines

After your website or blog is launched, the next thing is to get it listed on search engines. You see, without being listed, there is no way the search engines will index and display your site whenever someone makes a search for your subject. It doesn’t matter how long the site has been up, it will never get traffic from search engines.

To confirm if your site is index on the search engines or not, type the url of the site, “http://www.NAME.com” in google search engine. If your site doesn’t come up in the displayed result, it means it hasn’t been index – it is not listed in search engines.

There are different ways you could list your site on search engines. One of them is to use the search engine’s listing tool found on their website. For instance, google has a listing tool at www.google.com/addurl.html that will enable you to submit your site’s url, and get it listed in the search engine. However, I no longer use this method, and I don’t recommend it because it takes too long for websites to be index from their listing tool, it could even take months.

I will therefore discuss the other ways, which are faster.

1. Use Other People’s Blog’s or Forums

You can get your website or blog easily index in google and other search engines by visiting and making comments or other peoples blogs or forum related to the subject of your site. Blogs and forums that have large followership and high google ranking give faster result. However, make sure that the blogs or Forums allow links to be placed on them.

That is, if someone clicks on your name field from a comment you made on a blog, they will be taken to your site. And in the case of forums, the forum should allow you to leave a link to your site in the signature box.

Having a link from blogs or forums to your site enables search engines to index your website or blog in a couple of days. This is possible because, as the search engine spider crawls the blogs or forums where your link is, it finds your link, follows it, and gets to your site, and then crawls it too. It relays the information that it got from your site to the indexing portion of the search engine software, which indexes it in the search engine.

To make it appealing for the search engine spider to follow your link on blogs and forums, you need to put the main keywords of your site in the anchor text. The anchor text is the text that is highlighted, and from which one is taken to your site when clicked.

In the case of blogs, the anchor text is what you type on the name field. Instead of writing John on the name field when leaving a comment, it will be better to type something like “John @ Make Money Online” if your website is about making money online. After you have submitted your comment, and it is approved, “John @ Make Money Online” will appear as your name, and when clicked will lead to your site.

If someone makes a search for how to make money online or related topics, the search engine spider crawls all the websites listed in it for the information that the searcher needs. As it crawls the blogs or forums where your link is, it finds your link, and noticed your anchor text is related to what the searcher is looking for.

This suggests to it that your site might contain the information the searcher needs. So it will follow the link, get to your site, crawl, and index the relevant page(s) to be displayed in the search result for the searcher to check out. Having crawled and indexed a page or two from your site automatically makes your website or blog to be listed in it.

2. Submit Articles to Article Directories

When you submit articles to article directories like ezinearticles.com, buzzle.com, goarticles.com, and articlesfactory.com, there is provision for you to leave your link at the resource box at the bottom of the article. And when people come to these directories and borrow your articles to put on their websites, you will be having links from all the websites that have your articles pointing to your site. Again, when search engine spider crawls the articles on the different websites where they are posted, it will follow the links to your site and list it also.

3. Using Old Sites

Another way you can list your blog or website faster is to place a link to it from an old website or blog, or exchange link with someone else. That is, you ask someone to place the link to the new site on their site, while in return you will place theirs on your old site. Notice that the higher the page ranking of the page where your link is placed, the faster it will be listed in the search engine.

In your quest to make money on the Internet, you need to be careful of scammers. These are people who set up websites or systems on the Internet for the purpose of deceiving unsuspecting people into making payments to them for a service or product they will not deliver.

Having had a first hand experience with these swindlers, I want to share with you some ways by which you can identify them and so avoid falling into their antics and losing your hard earned money.

Pay To Do Jobs Websites

There are some websites out there on the Internet telling you they have jobs you can start doing immediately from home and earning lots of money, but you will have to make some small payments to them first to be able to get these jobs.

Many, if not all of these kind of websites are scam. In particular are the ones that promise data entry jobs. You should run away from data entry jobs offer, they are scammers. This is how they deceive and rip people off their money:

They tell you they have loads of jobs that involve just entering data, which could make you up to $750 each day. To make the offer irresistible, they will say when you register with them after making payment of say $45, you will instantly have $60 in your account, and you will be able to withdraw when your earnings reach a minimum of $100. But they know you will never make up to $100 to withdraw – it’s only a trick.

After you make the payment to register, like I did some time ago, to test such offers, you will be asked to be submitting some text ad in free classified advert sites, and that it is when people click on the advert that you can earn $1 for a click that must be verified by them to be true. This of course wasn’t what they said in their sales copy.

And of course, you will never get clicks even if you spend all day and night, seven days a week, submitting their ads to classified advert sites – I tried for a few weeks with enthusiasm, but got frustrated when I didn’t see any dollar. When I decided to use their money-back guarantee promise, and ask for my money back, I discovered I couldn’t log in to my account anymore, and not long after the website went off the Internet.

So, like I said before, run away from ‘pay to do data entering jobs’, and in general all ‘pay to do jobs’, including online survey – you may see money in your account, but you will never be able to withdraw any. Why would anyone who needs people to work for them ask them to pay before given the job? These scammers will say the reason they are asking you to make payment first is to ensure only serious people who will do the job register. But it’s a lie.

Buying Your Website Or Domain For $50,000

There are scammers who will send you a mail saying they are interested in buying your domain name or website for as much as $50,000. Having gotten your interest, they will now demand that they need to have a trusted company evaluate the domain or website before they will buy it from you.

Then they will skillfully guide you to another of their scam websites that offers domain and website evaluation service to do the evaluation there. They will insist that it is only the evaluation from that website that they will accept. They will even direct you to a blog or forum they have also set up (without you knowing it’s theirs) where the comments there spoke glowingly about using the service of the domain and website evaluation company they want you to patronize.

If you are not careful, you could easily fall for this high level scam. After all, what is paying $65 to evaluate your site to making $50,000 from its sale, you might think. But if you checked them out, you would see they are scammers. How can you check them out?

Using Whois

Go to whois.com, you will be able to discover who owns or registered any website, their address, when the site was registered, etc. Use whois.com to check out the owners of all the websites you have been directed to. You will discover that the scammer owns them all.

whois.com is a wonderful website you must use often if you do not trust a website, the information you get from whois.com can help you avoid falling victim of Internet scam. For instance, if a website is making claims of having been in business for 10 years, but when you checked its whois you saw it was registered just two years ago, that means you cannot trust that website because the owners lied. The wise thing to do is not to do business with it; else it could turn out to be scammers.

Looking Out For Closed Blogs Or Forums

As I mentioned above, in a bid to make you believe them, scammers might direct you to a set up blog post or forum where the comments there approve the company they want you to do business with. Such blogs or forums usually have few comments or posts, and you will not be able to add new ones. The reason they give for this is that they have closed comments on the posts because people have been scamming them. This is simply a lie, such blogs or forums are themselves scammers’ tools.

Exaggerated Earning Potential Or Claims

This is the hallmark of scams on the Internet. Scammers know that by promising you will make $750 or more a few hours a day on your pajamas with their program or system they will get your attention. So when you get such offers don’t rush to make payment for them, but check them out first. Check out their Whois and see if the information you get from it is consistent with what is on their website. Visit popular forums and inquire if anyone knows about them or have used their product or service before.

Brad Gosse has been operating a verified PayPal account for the past nine years, in fact, he was one of the earliest people to sign up with PayPal when they started operation. Over these years his business had been absolutely legal and had obeyed all their rules. He hadn’t had any problem with them whatsoever.

Then, a couple of days ago, he received a mail from PayPal stating his account had been limited, with thousands of dollars trapped in it without any explanation. He was not contacted or questioned before they limited his account.

For your account to be limited means your account must not have more than $500 for a year. So that meant Brad’s money worth thousands of dollars was gone if he couldn’t reinstate it.

Quickly, he called them up and followed it up, and his account was reinstated to verified position again.

In shock as to how close he was to losing his money with PayPal, he thought he should withdraw part of it to his bank account. So he did just that. But a bigger shocker was awaiting him the following day.

PayPal completely suspended his account for 180 days (six months), again without first contacting him or letting him know why they were taking such action. After calling them up again to find out from them what the problem was, he was told there was unusual fund transfer from his account, and the account remained suspended.

Although Brad was lucky to have moved some of his money to his bank account, and also has other accounts that are not PayPal, he is still distraught because as a big time Internet marketer, he still has several thousands of dollars locked away in the PayPal account. You can read up his story from his site, which I have given at the bottom of this post.

But first, here is the bottom line of this story:

Brad is an A Canadian and operates his business from Ontario, yet he could be treated this way by PayPal. He understood their rules and had obeyed them religiously for nine years, yet he woke up one day to find his PayPal account had be limited, and then totally suspended.

This means everyone should be very careful about using PayPal account. In fact, in recent times PayPal has been notoriously reputed to closing people’s accounts at will without any explanation.

Once they notice large movement of funds in or out of your account, or see you accessing your account from different IP addresses, they wouldn’t try to reach you for explanation, the best they would do is to limit your account, suspend it, or completely ban you. If they limit your account and you cannot reach them or satisfactorily show the proof they will ask of you, there goes your hard-earned money!

My Recommendation

Use other alternative payment solutions to PayPal. It is true that PayPal is perhaps the most widely known online payment solution around today, and with Ebay, which they own, they are monopoly, however, there are also other payment solutions, which are coming up strong, and which you should try using.

There is 2CO.com, moneybookers.com, and there is Fastecash.com (if you are in Nigeria), to help you receive payments for the sales of your products.

If you like a program you want to sign up with as affiliate and they say on their sites it’s by PayPal they make payments, you can send them an email to ask if they wouldn’t pay by other means, like wire transfer or check that may be convenient to you. This is what I do, and a lot of times I get positive responses and I’m able to sign up.

If they insisted it’s only by PayPal they can pay, then try look for their competitors who are willing to accept your payment terms.

This is very important for Nigerians and people from other countries who are not listed by PayPal to use their system. Don’t try to get into PayPal through the backdoor like I’m aware many people are doing by using Chinese, India, etc, addresses to sign up with PayPal. This is like putting banana in a monkey’s mouth for PayPal, which will be happy closing your account and freezing your money.

There are many business opportunities you can do on the Internet without PayPal, therefore the risk of trying to force yourself to use PayPal when they did not list your country is not worth it at all.

If you must use PayPal, be sure not to allow your money with them to amass. In fact, don’t leave more than $500 at a time in your account even if it is verified.

That’s it! Hope this information comes handing. You can link this page from your site so that your visitors can get this information and be protected too from possibly losing their money in PayPal.

Please leave your comments or questions. And if you’ve any experience with PayPal that may help other people, please leave it in the comment.

If you are in Nigeria, I recommend you sign up with Fastecash for free and be able to take payments on your site. Follow this link to sign up: Fastecash Online Payment Solution.

To be alife means we still have the capacity to achieve whatever goal we have set for ourselves before the year closes.

The month of September is the beginning of the last quarter of the year, and there is no better time than now for us to assess our business seriously and see how well we have gone in achieving our goals for the year.

This is a very important exercise you must do, especially as it relates to increasing your finances online. Don’t be afraid to do this exercise, even if you think you haven’t achieved anything tangible. That may not be true because, if for nothing else, you would have gained certain knowledge that could propel you to eventually achieving the goal.

Here are some questions to ask yourself to help you assess how well you have done or are doing to achieving your goal of making money on the Internet.

- How much money did you set to make in a month?

- What Online business model did you choose to use?

- What new things did you learn about the business model, and did you
apply them?

- How long did you apply them – 3, 6, 9 months?

- What are the biggest challenges to achieving your goal?

- How have you tried solving them, and where you able to surmount them?

- How are you promoting the business?

- How much is your monthly budget for your business?

- How much time do you give your business daily, weekly, and monthly?

- Have you made any money from the business model?

- If no, why do you think you haven’t made any money?

- Do you have any mentor who has accomplished what you want to achieve?

- Have you discovered the strategies he/she is using?

- Have you applied it too to your business?

- If you have made some money, how much?

- How was the money made?

- Are you doing more of what made you money?

These questions will enable you to really assess how you are doing in your online money making venture. It will make clear to you where you have failed, and where to correct. And at the end of it, you will be put back on track, and motivated to achieving your goal.

One thing that will be obvious to lots of people who haven’t made much from the Internet as they go through the questions above is that they have not chosen a business model to follow to achieving the amount of money they want to achieve online. Where they choose one at the beginning of the year, they didn’t stay on it for long.

This is very important, please take note: You cannot achieve anything tangible on the Internet without being focused on a particle model for a minimum of six months. You will have to be consistent at it day-in, day-out, learning and applying new strategies, and tweaking it until result start showing.

You shouldn’t, like most people, abandon your business model each time you run into a sales letter promising you will become instant millionaire if you try their system.

It may be possible their system could enable you to make millions, but certainly not overnight. What they will not likely tell you is that you will need some time to study the terrain, understand the system, and build the capacity to be able to make the millions.

Wherever there is money to be made, know that there must be investment of time – time to learn the ropes and to build the business.

Don’t lose focus on your goal!

Another thing that may be separating you from making money online is that you are not promoting your business enough. In fact, a lot of people are not even aware they should promote their products or websites.

If you want to make money, whether on the Internet or offline, you must expose whatever you want to make money from to target people. The greater the volume of people who may need it, that see it, the greater your chance of making money, and more of it.

Take for instance; your business model is adsense. That’s, your plan is to make $1000 a month from adsense. To achieve this of course, you need people visiting your site. Indeed, you need large volume of people, from 10,000 and above to visit your site each month. To achieve this, you have to promote your website, you cannot leave it to chance.

There are many different ways of getting free traffic to your site. These include article marketing, search engine optimization, and RSS marketing. The area of Internet traffic generation is huge, I have put together the best resources on it at Traffic 007 Stampede. You can take a look at it if you need to know all that is required to generate Massive traffic to your website: Traffic 007 Stampede.

Now, let me talk about something that may sound strange to you. Yes, it is not common to hear that you need to have a monthly budget for your business. But this is the ideal thing to do if you consider what you are doing online as business.

Your monthly budget doesn’t have to be much, depending on the level of your business; it can be from $20 upward. You should have this money set aside to support the growth of your business.

But you have to be disciplined not to spend this money on things that are not relevant to taking your business higher. Don’t use it to buy new money making programs that keep you running in a cycle without achieving anything at the end of the day.

The money should be on things like paying for subscription, buying information or software that could make your progress on your business model easier and faster.

Therefore, before you make that payment for anything, you have to check it against how it possibly helps you in achieving success in your chosen business model. This check will help you control buying things you don’t really need.

The year is running out fast, and soon it will end and you will be faced with paying school fees, house rent, and those kinds of annual payments. I don’t intent scaring you, but you have to put your online business in proper shape to start making good income.

You have to start giving more time to building your online business. We tend to give less time to our online businesses than other activities of the day because we feel we are not accountable to anyone. But that’s a big mistake. If we give less time to it, we will get little or no result at all, but given more time, before long our business will start taking good shape.

Take for example, your business model is to build a high traffic blog and monetize with adverts and adsense. If you make it a duty to post at least one article in a day, in a month you’ll have at least 30 articles, and gradually, before you know it, you are having massive unique articles, which will pull in the traffic, and the desired money.

And then you can resign from your day job, and become a full time blogger.

I hope this exercise will change your perspective and help you to position your online business in the right path to make money for you.

Recommendation

I have a product I feel will greatly help you to meet your goal of making money on the Internet faster and easier.

But first, don’t just rush and order it, you have to know whether you need it or not. So I will explain briefly what it does and who needs it.

The product is a collection of over 90,000 Private Label Rights (PLR) articles in different hotly demanded topics, including Finance, Arts And Entertainment, Business, Fashion, Food And Beverage, Health Fitness, Home And Family, and Internet Business.

Also, the product includes a software which you can use to create hundreds of unique variation of each of the articles, as well as a software that you can use to submit articles to top article directories.

How does this help your business to make money?

I will explain quickly.

= If you have PLR articles that you didn’t rewrite before posting on your site, you have to get this software and rewrite the articles in a few minutes. You need to rewrite the articles because as PLR articles, other people may already own them and may have posted them on their sites as they bought them too.

And that means the one on your site are duplicate copies, which puts your site at the danger of been banned by Google, because Google hates duplicate content.

But if you rewrite them using this software, they’ll become unique and fresh to the search engines, including Google, then you can enjoy the value for which you bought the articles – that’s more traffic.

= If you are facing the challenge of creating content for your site, you can use any of the over 90,000 PLR articles relevant to your site’s subject, use the article creator software to create unique variations, which you then post on your site.

There are thousands of professionally written articles in the collection that you can use on your website. With this massive article collection, you no longer have problem of generating articles for your blog or website – but take caution, don’t post too many of the articles on your blog in a day, this may offend search engines.

If your business model is particularly to monetizing your site with adsense, you’ll need to have heavily loaded site with articles to make heavy money. The greater the mass of articles you have, the greater the traffic, and then the greater the adsense income will be.

= If you desire to promote your website or affiliate site by article marketing strategy, then this product will be of great help to you. With the article creator and submitter software you can create unique variations of your articles and submit them to top article directories automatically, where they can be picked up by hundreds or even thousands of other sites, thereby pulling traffic to your site.

= If your business model has to do with ebook marketing, this product package is for you, because with the more than 90,000 PLR articles, you can actually create thousands of ebooks and sell.

= If you haven’t decided on a business model to use in making money online, then you can think about this model I’m about explaining now that you can use this product package to accomplish.

Partnering with 100 websites for free and making at least $100 a day by sharing their adsense revenue with them. I have a page where I explained this model fully. Click here to read it: $100 A Day From Articles You Wrote Or Didn’t Write Without A Website.

Also, if you already have a business model, which is to make money with adsense, you can add the above system of partnering with other websites and making $100 a day from them to it.

These are ways you can use the product package, however, you may be able to find other uses for it.

To get details about this product package, please go to this page: $100 A Day From Articles You Wrote Or Didn’t Write Without A Website.

Although the message there is primary about how you can make $100 every day from other websites by submitting articles in them, it explains what the product is.

But again, let me remind you that before you place your order for it, make sure it supports your current business model, and can make it easier and faster for you to achieve your goal of making money from your online business.

Information is power, and that is why people are more than ever before in the history of man looking for information in different areas of life to improve themselves, and better their lives.

And the beautiful thing is that, using the power of the computer and the Internet, you can create ebooks from the information, knowledge, or experience that you possess and sell them for life.

Depending on your target market, you can sell your ebook to the local market or the whole world right from your home. Considering the huge market you immediately have access to, thanks to information technology, it is no wonder that a lot of people make hundreds and even millions of dollars monthly selling information in the form of ebook.

They are able to achieve this because ebooks can easily and quickly be made. Sometimes, all they do is to put together a number of their Private Label Right products into an ebook, and immediately start selling.

There is no looking for money to pay the printer to print the book, and there is no need for an office space or storage facility to safeguard the book, neither do you have to worry about how to transport the books from one point to another to sell them.

Ebook creation and marketing is certainly the number one business in this age, and you will be as good as living in the stone age if you are not part of it. You certainly can generate marketable information products that you can sell as ebook. All you need to do is look deep into your experience, abilities, knowledge, and think of other people across the country, and over the world that might be in need of it.

If you already have a book written and are waiting for funds to be able to print it as hard book, or you have a printed book, but have not sold much, I tell you, it is time you make an ebook version of it and sell to a wider market. You will be amazed as to how much cash you have been leaving on the table all this time.

I will not be able to treat ebook creation exhaustively here – actually I’m working on a report on how you can create highly demanded ebooks and sell them like hot cake on the Internet. As my loyal readers you will get it absolutely for free when it is finished, just watch out for it soon.

How To Create Or Make EBooks

Before I go into how to create ebooks, I think I should explain what ebooks are because I understand that a lot of my readers are new to the Internet, and may not know what ebooks are. For my other readers who are experienced Internet users, I apologize for taking you a bit backward.

Ebook stands for electronic book. When we say ebooks, we mean you have written the book in MS Word, Core Draw or any other software, just as you would normally do to get a book published. Then you convert it to PDF format. It is the conversion to PDF that makes it an ebook.

It is necessary for the book to be in PDF format so that its formatting and layout stay intact when the book is transferred from one computer to another, unlike if the book was in MS Word, where its fonts could change or become unreadable in another computer. As a PDF ebook, it can be read anywhere in the world just as it was written, formatted, and laid-out in PDF.

Now back to how can we convert a book to PDF.

There are two possible ways by which you can convert the book to pdf: using free means or using paid-for software.

Using free means:

You can convert your book to an ebook for free by planning the book on Core Drawl or other publishing software that allow you to use “save as” command to save the book as an a PDF document.

Another way you can convert your book to ebook is by using the free service of an online company, http://www.freepdfconvert.com. You will be able to upload your book onto their server, and after some minutes, your book would have been converted to a PDF, which you can download.

Those are ways to convert your book to ebook for free, however, there are some shortcomings in taking those routes. I will explain.

Apart from the fact that the above free methods do not give you a high quality ebook, in terms of the sharpness and formatting of the book, its weakest defect is that you cannot secure the book.

You will not be able to password it so that unauthorized people cannot open it, copy it or print it out.

I think it doesn’t really make sense for anyone to work so hard creating a book only to leave it unprotected by using free ebook converters. If you must write or create an ebook, you must protect it from information thieves prowling around the Internet.

Studies have shown that a lot of ebook publishers lose more than 78% of their income to these thieves annually. These are ebook creators who are ignorant about the possibility of someone stealing their content, and so did not secure their books.

This brings me to the second method of creating ebooks.

Using Paid Means:

This is by using paid-for software to make or create professionally looking ebooks, with crisp, cleaner, and clearer pages, and with the opportunity to secure them by pass wording them so that people don’t read, copy or print them out without your consent.

It is true that many of these kind of software are on the high side in price, which could be why many new comers to ebook publishing usually take the risk of going ahead to use the free method. With their prices reaching $97, it is no surprise that not a few fresh ebook creators will be compelled to go the dangerous route of making their ebooks.

But you don’t have to worry; I have found a highly and effective ebook creator software that is simple and easy to use, and that helps you to produce professionally designed ebook with few clicks of your mouse.

You will be able to add security features to your ebook, and prevent thieves from cutting through your income, as they are unable to read, copy, or print it out.

When you get the package, you will be able to even design attractive ecovers for your ebook to aid its marketability online, using the free service of an online ecover design company to do that.

And you are given the license to resell the software and keep all the profits. With the Master Right that comes with the software, it means you can make back the money you used in buying the product, and then go ahead to make more money as you can possibly make by selling the product.

This is mind blowing if you ask me. I haven’t seen a software as valuable as this is, the same thing other people are selling for $97 is offered at an incredibly cheap price, and onto that the buyer is allowed to sell it at whatever price they can and as much as they can too! Amazing!

All I can say now is that you should go straight and get your copy fast before it is gone. Click here: Amazing Professional Ebook Creator Software.

In their sales letters they make very big claims and quote mouth-watering sums of money, in dollar for that matter that anyone who subscribes to their products would make. They pack their sales letters full with hype to ensure that no one could resist it.

Of course not many people can resist an offer like been able to immediately start making $1000 a week on adsense with a blog or website.

By the time you do the simple multiplication, that comes up to nothing less than $4,000. And when you go further to convert it to Naira, at the present exchange rate of about N170 to a dollar, that would mean about N680, 000 would be piling up in your account every month.

That’s not all, the offer is further spiced by telling you that you will not spend any money aside from what you will buy the product with, that you can use a free blog and free contents to be making the money.

I see a lot of this kind of sales letters and my heart cringes with pity for the unsuspecting target. It is unfortunate that so many Internet marketers think if they didn’t entice their target with over exaggerated picture of what is possible, they will not release money to buy their product, which they need so desperately.

They know lots of people are in difficult financial state, and so will immediately buy anything that they think could get them out of it NOW – they cannot wait till tomorrow; they need the money to start pouring in immediately.

They also know that a lot of people don’t like the idea of working. So they tell them not to worry, that working is not part of the process of making the money they are promising them, that all they need is their product.

But this is terrible! I consider it a scam, and have vowed never to use such tactics to sell my products. I believe people should be given the real picture so that they would know exactly what they are going into and make their decision. I don’t think I have to arm twist anyone to buy my products. I’ll tell you exactly what you should expect, if you like it fine, if you don’t so be it.

Now this is what will happen to an average person who is new to the Internet, and wants to make money really fast, and who reads the sales letter that tells him he would start making $1000 in a week immediately he gets the product.

He will quickly purchase it, and set up a free blog. He will find a free article from a free article directory site and post it on the blog, rush to Google for its adsense code, and paste it on his blog.

He will then start waiting for the money to start showing up in hundreds of dollars as the day goes by. But as weeks turn into months, he sees nothing in his Adsense account. Then he becomes frustrated and starts clicking the Adsense himself, only to fall under the hammer of Google and get banned.

Before that experience dies down, he reads another sales letter from another person he thinks is a guru, promising that if he gets his material he would be able to make $10, 000 in a month in PPC affiliate marketing. He wouldn’t need a website to achieve this, neither would he need any experience. Again, all he needs is the marketer’s product.

Quickly, he gets the product, hoping that by the time he makes the first $10,000 everything will fall in place in his life. But after going through the scanty guide, and implementing it, instead of making money, he is actually losing it.

He packed it up, and goes for one or two more quick-money-making schemes online that flashed across his eyes. Again, there was no success. Now he is certain, it is not possible to make money online, that all the talk about making money on the Internet are lies. So he has decided to stay away from the Internet and find something else in the physical world to do.

Has this ever happened to you? Can you relate with the experience of the man above? Have you bought a number of information products promising their system will be making money for you like a damaged ATM machine, while at the end of the day it is your pocket that got damaged?

If you are, I can sense you asking me now, “Is it really possible to make money online?”

My answer is YES! It is possible to make $1000 and even more than that weekly from adsense, and it is possible to make $10,000 and more monthly from PPC affiliate marketing, but it doesn’t happen overnight.

For new comers to the Internet, it is not possible for them to be able to make such money. Like in any business, whether online or offline, you need to build it up to a level that its income will soar.

If you build your blog or website to a level that it start getting hundreds of thousands, or even millions of visitors monthly, you would be literary swimming in money, then you would definitely make more than $1000 in revenue weekly from that blog or website.

The same goes for PPC Affiliate marketing, and other genuine money making opportunities online. If you can take the time to learn how they work and gradually build the business up, you would surely start making huge profits.

My advise to you my dear reader is, don’t give up on your dream of making money online. The Internet remains the best place today for anyone to have a business with the greatest profit potential worldwide.

Think about it, with a blog or website for instance, you are already in business. Yes, you heard me right. If you set up a blog today it means you have started a business – your blogging activities are your business.

When you consider the capital you would need to set up and run a physical business compared to what it cost to set up a blog or website, you will agree with me that the Internet is a blessing to our generation, not to mention the global market place that it gives you access to.

You shouldn’t allow the negative experience you got in the hands of some marketers to cause you to throw away the baby with the bathwater. There is great money to be made on the Internet, and you can find your financial freedom from it!

Dust yourself up; consider what you have spent without result as a learning experience, which most newbies to the Internet go through. I have lost money too to scam artists hen I was starting out, so you are not alone in this experience. Don’t allow it to cause you to give up, rather it should motivate you to wanting to learn all there is to making money from the online business of your choice.

If you desire to be part of those making money online, take these two steps:

One, be focused. You may have heard this before and didn’t quite take it serious, but now you really have to. There will always be loads of different money making opportunities marketers will be presenting to you from time to time. They will be so tempting that if you don’t hold yourself, you will find yourself moving from one online business to another.

And at the end of the day, you will have dissipated your energy, time and money without anything to show for it. To achieve success in making money online, you have to decide on a business opportunity you want to do, and then focus your time, energy, and money in building it. Concentrate on it squarely for at least six months, learning and implementing success strategies on it, before adding another business opportunity to it.

Two, get a coach. It’s way better to get somebody who is experienced, with proven knowledge of the business to coach you, than to buy an e-book, which you may not be able to implement. Beside, the e-book might even be a free introductory copy of the course, which the seller got.

Instead of groping in the dark, trying to decipher how the business works, a coach will put you right on track for success.

In my Blogging For Millions Classroom, where I give one-on-one training online on making money with blogs, almost all my students would have chosen the wrong subject for their blogs if they were to do it themselves.

This is the foundation of success in blogging. What so many would-be bloggers don’t know is that they have to first of all research keywords to be sure there are enough people who are interested in the subject they have in mind before starting their blogs. From there they will use the keywords in the name of their blogs in such a way that it would be attractive to the search engines.

If you miss this basic foundational step, you may never be able to make money from blogging.

Again, I must emphasize the importance of been under the guidance of a knowledgeable and experienced coach who is accessible and passionate about helping others achieve success.

Though you may not start making the money immediately, however, with a coach leading you, you are sure your business will be positioned aright and you will be able to learn a great deal about the business than you may never have been able to learn in 10 e-books. And in addition, your coach will be there to attend to you when you have challenges, and will help in straightening things out for you.

As you get back on track to exploiting the money making opportunities online, I’m sure you will hit success soon!

One of the most lucrative means of making money online is the creation and selling of e-books. An e-book, or electronic book is a book just like the physical books you know, written to treat a particular subject, divided into chapters. But unlike physical books, e-books are not printed. You can only read them with a computer, except the buyer decides to print them out at their own cost (that’s if the seller allowed it to be printed out).

There are several ways that e-books are preferable to physical books:

One, e-books take far lesser time to create than physical books. You only need to write the book and it’s ready for sale.      

Two, you are spared of the huge cost of printing to make physical books. A lot of writers have not been able to produce their books because they cannot raise the enormous amount of money their printers are asking from them.

Three, you do not need storage facility to keep your book. Once you are through writing the book, you can either upload it to your hosting server and allow any one who pays for it to be able to download it immediately; or you send it to your buyers by email as attachment.

Four, due to the fact that e-books can be downloaded immediately from any part of the world where there is Internet connection, e-books therefore have a far wider market than physical books, which will require shipment to get to the buyer several days after purchase. It is not surprising to have e-books selling hundreds of thousands of copies in a couple of days after lunch.

Those are some of the advantages e-book creation has over physical book making. Now let’s go to the different ways by which you can make money with your e-book.

Getting Affiliates To Promote It

This is the best way to make tons of money with your e-book. There are several affiliate centres where you can place your e-book and get marketers to promote it.

Some marketers already have huge and responsive email lists they can market the book to, and you can have thousands of sales from just one marketer. If you therefore have several marketers promoting the book and selling thousands of copies monthly, you can be sure of selling thousands of copies of your book monthly. It is not uncommon to have people selling hundreds of thousands of their e-books, which may just be a 45 page report, in a few days after launch.

Click Bank is the world’s biggest affiliate centre where you have thousands of affiliates coming everyday for products they can promote. It is therefore the best place for e-book publishers to place their products for people to promote.

Once you sign up with Click Bank. find out how to sign up as a Nigerian by reading How To Sign Up With Click Bank Where Click Bank Doesn’t Reach and you will be able to offer your e-book to the thousands of Click Bank marketers to promote for you.

Apart from Click Bank, other affiliate centres where you can find people to help you market your e-book are PayDotCom and Affiliatejuncture

Using Your Blog Or Website

Another way by which you can make money with your e-book is by having a blog or website and pasting the book’s banner or ecover at strategic location on it.

As people visit your site everyday, they are exposed to your product. Consequently, they may get attracted to it and decide to purchase it. There are certain factors which will decide the success of this method. These are:

The amount of traffic to your blog or website. The more traffic you have to your blog or website, the greater will be your chance of making huge sales. For instance, if your traffic is 100, 000 monthly, there is the possibility that up to 10% of them will buy the product, and that’s about 10, 000 sales.

The quality of your blog or website. The more professional your blog or website is, including it’s content, the more likely your visitors will perceive you as an expert in your field and of cause that affects their perception of the quality or richness of your e-book.

Your ability to develop relationship with your visitors. You will be able to sell more of your e-book consistently if you are able to capture the emails of visitors to your site, and keep building a relationship with them by way of sending them newsletters, helpful tips, etc.

It is a fact that people generally buy things only after they have seen it for at least five times. Been able to capture their emails therefore enables you to expose them to your e-book several times. Here is the email capturing and management system that I use, you can sign up a free account and start using their facility, go to Email Capturing System.

Using Adwords

Adwords are paid advertisement platforms you can also use to sell your e-book. When you sign up an Adword account with Google or Yahoo, which are the most popular providers of Adword programmes, and fund your account with as low as $20, you will be able to create text adverts for your e-book.

The ads will start running immediately and will be displayed either on the right of a search engine result relevant to the keywords you are bidding on, or on other people’s blogs or websites whose contents are relevant to your keywords, or both, depending on your choice. You can also choose which regions or countries of the world you want your ads to show.

When people see your ads and are interested in you e-book, they will click on it. As they do this, they will be taken to your sales page where they will get full details of the book, including how they can order it, and you will be able to make sales.

On the other hand, your account will be charged a couple of cents each time someone clicks on your ad, depending on the maximum bid that you have set for the campaign. If well done, you can make big profit from your Adword campaign.

For instance, if Google charges you 20 cents for a click, and you have 100 clicks in a day, your expense is $20. If from the 100 clicks you sold one copy of your book for $27, you would have made $7 profit on that day.

But of course you can sell more than one copy per 100 clicks, you can reduce your bidding if you think your current bidding is not profitable, and you can have much more than 100 clicks in a day. You will be able to make adjustments to your campaigns and track their performance from time to time to ensure you are making profits.    

Using It As A Bonus

You can use your e-book to entice prospects to buy another product you are promoting. I will explain. Let say you find a hot selling product, which people will be highly interested in, and you stand to make $30 as commission for a copy you can sell, if your e-book is related or relevant to the use of the product, you can offer it to prospective buyers as bonus if they order it. That way, you will be making extra income using your e-book as an enticer.

Selling Resale Right To Your E-book

Many people may not like this method of making money with their e-books because they can’t stand the thought of other people competing with them. However, on the business side of view, it can be more profitable.

Allowing prospective buyers to have the right to also resell the book can greatly reduce their resistance to buying the book. The feeling that they can make back the money they bought the book with as well as making profit can cause your sales to swell more than it would have been.

You don’t have to use this strategy on all products, but it can allow you to sell a huge number of your e-book and also makes your name to spread widely as other people market your product, establishing you as an expert, and you can equally make money from back end products.

Giving Your E-book Away For Free

You may be wondering what I’m talking about here – “giving your e-book away for nothing?”

Relax, it may look like that, but on the long run you can make even more money than trying to sell the book alone. This is how you can monetize such strategy. Set up an email capturing system (the one I discussed above) and allow anyone who signed up to download it. Because it is free, you will have lots of people opting into your list.

With your huge list, you can continue to develop relationship with them and market other products like training, membership program, supplementary or complementary products to the one you gave out, etc. Whenever you find a product that you think members of your list will like, you can promote it to them and make commission or charge a fee.

Those are the six ways you can make a great deal of money with your e-book. You can combine two or more of the strategies at a time, or you simply settle for the one that gives you the best result, it all depends on how you want it.

Lastly, your fear about creating e-book may be that people will illegally copy or print it out without you making anything significant from your sweat, don’t worry, there is a cool tool you can use to fix that and other security concerns about your e-book. Check it out Ebook Gold
