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.

This is the wise man’s strategy for raking-in dollars from the Internet without owning a website or product.

If you are looking for the way to legally make money on the Internet without spending any money, you have to pay attention to this guide and implement what you read. And if you are one of those who usually feel frightened by the concept of having a website to be able to join the online money makers because of the technicalities involved in designing and administering a website, you are in luck too because I’m about revealing the paths to take to make money on the Internet without owning a website or creating your own product.

Please know that this is not a get-rich-quick scheme, you can very well get rich with this strategy, but there is work to be done, and it will take some investment of time for the food to be cooked and get done. So, if you are ready, here we go.

The strategy is a simple idea. It involves getting a high-in demand, good percentage commission product to promote, and using free, but effective traffic generating methods that don’t require owning a website, to bring it to the attention of potential customers across the world.

Choosing A Product

You can find a product to promote by going to affiliate market place such as Clickbank, Amazon, and Paydotcom. Clickbank will not send your payments directly to you in Nigeria because they are not doing business with Nigeria presently, however if you know someone in any of the countries they allow, including the UK, you can use the person’s address in signing up with Clickbank. Note that the “Payee Name” section of the form should be your name, in the format that you have it in your bank account opening.

If you are not able to use that means, you can contact virtual office providers – there are many of them across the Internet – to help you with their address, so as to receive the commission checks from Clickbank for you. But you will have to pay for this service.

It is better you use non-US address so as not to be asked to fill a tax form that will require certain information you might not be able to provide. I’m sorry I will not be able to recommend any virtual office provider service to you now, but you can find many of them by making a search on google.com for “virtual office providers” Whichever company you choose; make sure to do your due diligence before signing up with them. And remember, it is only their address you use when filling Clickbank form.

When you make sales, Clickbank will send your commission check to the address in your account with them, then your friend or relation in the UK for example, or the virtual office company you’ve signed up with, will forward the check to you in Nigeria. You will be able to cash the money by logging it into your domiciliary account with any bank in the country. This means you need to open a domiciliary account to cash foreign checks.

That’s generally how to sign up to promote products in Clickbank if Clickbank doesn’t allow your country. Now, let’s talk about what you should be looking out for in the product you want to promote to ensure success.

Before you decide on a product, see that it has appreciable level of demand, that is, a good number of people are interested in buying it. You can determine this by checking certain features provided in the affiliate market place. For instance, Clickbank has what they call “gravity”. It’s the number of people promoting the product. If there are high gravity, it means the product must be of high demand, else people won’t be that eager to promote it. In Amazon, they have ranking system for their products in their categories based on sales recorded.

Another way you can confirm that the product has good demand is to use the google free keyword research tool at: https://adwords.google.co.uk/select/KeywordToolExternal. Type in the keyword of the product into the software, for example, if the product is to help people lose weight, you can type: “weight loss solution” or “lose weight” into the software. It will show you the average number of searches the google.com search engine has received for the keyword and related keyword in the previous month, as well as monthly.

If you set the software to also display the average Cost Per Click (CPC), then you will see how much advertisers are paying for the keyword. This information will tell you if people are buying the product or not. If the CPC is high, from $1 and above, it means the product is in high demand, otherwise advertisers won’t spend so much on one click.

Another thing to check before picking a product to promote is the amount of commission you stand to make from it. The higher the amount of money you can make from a sale, the better. If a product will pay you $50 for selling just one, that means if you are able to sell 10 in a week, that’s $500, and about $$2,000 in a month (that’s not bad, is it?).

Lastly, I look at the sales page. This is very important. Even if the product promised to pay you $100 or $200, if the sales page is not well written it will not convert to sales. People will see it and will not go ahead to order; therefore, you will not make any money for your effort.

If by reading the sales page you are not moved to get the product yourself, the chance that it will compel other people to make purchase is slim. If possible, you can ask someone else to read the sales copy and tell you how they feel.

Having picked a product to promote, the next stage is to drive traffic or potential customers to the sales page through your affiliate link (you will be given a link to track your sales as you promote the product). There are many ways to generate traffic, but we will be looking at the ones that will not cost you anything, but are notwithstanding effective.

Traffic, needless to say, is very important, if not the most crucial factor in making money on the Internet. Naturally, the more traffic that comes to your product’s sales page, the better the chance of more people ordering it. If you have 100 potential buyers of your product reading your sales page daily, the chance of having 10 ordering is high. So, the idea is to draw high volume of targeted traffic to your sales page daily. Here are ways to achieve it:

Posting At High Traffic Blogs

Identify blogs in the industry of the product you are promoting, which pull high traffic – these are usually blogs owned by the gurus in the industry. You can find such blogs by doing a search on google for them.

The goal here is to siphon some of their traffic, and the good thing about this traffic is that it consists more of people who have bought products before online, and so are used to making online purchases – they are usually in buying mood.

Make sure to sign up to the owners’ newsletter so as to be alerted when the blogs are updated or visit them daily if possible to check for fresh contents. When a fresh content is posted, try to be among the first to make comment. This is advantageous because the hundreds or even thousands of people that will come later to read the blog will also read your comment and will likely visit your sales page.

This is a very powerful traffic method, which lots of people don’t know or are doing wrongly (I will explain this later). Imaging having hundreds of people reading your comment from one blog everyday, and you have twenty of such blogs that you comment on regularly, that will be giving you the chance to expose your sales page to thousands of potential buyers.

If your comments are attractive, you will definitely have visitors of the blogs clicking on your name to view your sales page. To be attractive, your comments should provide value for the reader. Somebody should gain something from reading your comments.

Even though you are not the original author of the article you are commenting on, however, you can still add value or benefits in your comments for visitors or anyone who reads them. If someone read your comments and got something they can use, they will definitely want to visit your site or to know more about you. I have continued to experience this all the time.

How do you make your comments attractive? You ask. There are ways you can do that, I will tell you.

- Highlighting addition points about the subject that the author didn’t treat, but are valuable. However, this should come after you have commended the author for his/her efforts.

- Highlighting one or two salient points in the original article, and explaining how much they have helped you in any way or how much you believe they will help you.

- If you disagree with the author on some points, say so, and explain why you take such position, giving reasonable points.

- Using your personal experience or the experience of somebody you know to emphasize a point in the discussion.

Generally, here are what I tag the dos (what you should do) in commenting on other people’s blogs to receive maximum clicks on your name.

- Give value in your comments.
- Make comment early
- Reply other people’s comments (if you have something to support their comments with, or have answers to their questions). This increases your activity on the blog, which portrays you as an expert in the field.
- Respect other people’s viewpoint even if you disagree with them.
- When signing up to make comment, you should creatively have the keyword of your product in the “Name” field. You can write something like, “Rose @ Lose Weight”, instead of your name “Rose”. Then of course, you should put your affiliate link’s url in the “Website” field.
- Upload an image on your Avatar, otherwise the default Avatar image will be showing. You don’t have to use your picture; you can use any image that appeals to you. You can find free images to use on the Internet. You can then go to www.gravatar.com to upload the image, and it will begin to show wherever you make comments on blogs or forums, or platforms that use Avatar. This makes you appear professional.

The don’ts:

- If you are selling to the global audience, make your comments global – don’t mention you are commenting from Nigeria.
- Don’t be abusive or cursing in your comments.

Joining Forum Discussions

Like identifying high trafficked blogs, you can also find high trafficked forums to join in their discussions – by doing a search on google.com you will find many of them. Apart from commenting on threads raised by others, you can also start a thread.

As discussed above about commenting on blogs, your comments on forums should also contain benefits that readers can make use of that will make them to be attracted to your signature, and click on your sales page link.

I will explain what signature is. Signature is a short expression that you may want to appear below every comment or post you make at the forum. You can write your signature from your profile area, and you are allowed to hyperlink text on your signature.

You need to make the best of your signature. Write very compelling words and hyperlinks them with the url of your sales page. Still using our lose weight example, you can have a signature that reads, “Loss Weight Fast!” which is hyperlinked to the sales page, so that when anyone clicks on it, they will taken to the sales page.

Using Web 2.0

There are websites that allow you to post articles in them, and some even allow you to earn adsense income on your articles. Example of such websites, which are free to sign up with include, xomba, worldvillage, squidoo, and yousaytoo.

These sites are very attractive to search engines, and many of them already receive millions of traffic monthly. Therefore, you can use them to effectively promote your sales page. To achieve this what you do is to write and post articles relevant to your product in them.

You should carefully insert links to your sales page in the body of the articles (note that some of these sites don’t allow this, while some do, so check out their article submission policy before posting articles). For those that will not allow you to insert links in the body of the article, you will be able to do that at the author’s resource box at the bottom of the article.

When visitors to these sites read your articles, many of them will click on the link to your sales page and read the sales copy, and make order. With the millions of visitors to these sites every month, imagine the volume of traffic to your sales page if you are using, say twenty of such.

Using Socialbookmarker.com

Socialbookmarker.com is a website that gives you the opportunity to bookmark your article pages in the web 2.0 sites in several bookmarking sites automatically. By bookmarking your article pages, your articles are given the chance to be read by the millions of users of the bookmarking sites where your articles have been bookmarked, and that’s lots of traffic hitting the sales page of your product, increasing your sales.

I have just given you a guide that will enable you to make money on the Internet without spending money or owning a website, however, remember, it will not happen overnight.

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.

What the law is saying is that, to be able to make money, you must choose a subject to set up your blog or website on, which must have appreciable number of people interested in it. They should also have a good record of spending money, and the level of competition in the industry should be low.

It is at this foundational stage that a lot of new comers to the Internet miss it. Perhaps, it is as a result of the misinformation they got from certain sources that they could set up blogs or websites on the area of their passion, and they would be able to make money from it.

This is true, but to an extent. If the subject you are passionate about shows that a large volume of people are interested in it, and these people actually spend money in the industry, then that would be a great subject to set a blog or website on.

But, if the subject does not draw the interest of more than a handful of people, then it would be a waste to invest your time and energy in it because it would never make money. Money is made from people who are interested in your subject, and the larger their number, the more the chance of making money from their patronage.

Therefore, the first thing you should do before starting a website or blog is to do some research to know if your area of passion has good volume of interested people, and if they spend money, as well as if the level of competition in the industry is low.

If your findings are positive, then, you could go ahead and set up your site knowing you could make money from it. but, if they are not, it will be better to either look for a profitable niche in that industry, or find another subject entirely.

I will show you how you can do this research using a free, but powerful software.

The Google keyword research tool, which you can find at https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal, can enable you to know before hand whether the subject you are about going into will be profitable or not.

This is how to do the research.

Log on to https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal, type in the subject you have in mind, for instance, golf training, then click enter.

The software comes out with the result as shown below.

This shows the level of searches made the previous month, and the average global monthly searches made in the last 12 months. You can also see the level of competition in the industry. The result also include related keywords to golf training, e.g., golf training aids, and golf swing training.

To get the above statistical result in terms of numbers, what you should do is to highlight the result page, then copy and paste it in a notepad. The statistical result for golf training is shown in a notepad below.

Now you can see the actual number of searches for golf training last month 201,000, and the average monthly searches in the last 12 months 135,000.

And also, very importantly, you can see how much people are bidding on the keyword golf training $2.03. What that means is that at the time I wrote this article, the average amount of money advertisers are paying per click when anyone clicks on their advert on this keyword is $2.03.

This is big money to spend on one click, so if there were 100 clicks on their adverts in a day, they would be paying $203.

What this implies is that people who are interested in golf training are money spenders. For someone to be paying $2.03 for a click on his or her advert means that that person knows he or she will make back the money together with profit from his or her target market – those looking for golf training.

And that is possible because those looking for golf training are people who are not just looking for free stuff, but are prepared to buy things relating to golf training.

This is how you can find out about the subject you want to get into first before setting out. Generally, keywords with average bidding of $0.50 and above will be profitable subjects to set up blogs or websites on, and of course, the higher the average bidding, the greater the money that can be made from that industry.

And when you combine the average bidding on the keyword with the average monthly search volume in the last 12 months, you will have a clear picture of what the industry looks like in terms of profitability.

Looking at the average monthly search volume for golf training, which is 135,000 and the bidding per click of $2.03, it means that the subject, golf training, is profitable.

But note that if the monthly volume of searches for the keyword is high, as well as the average bid on it, the possibility of stiff competition in that industry will be high too.

Therefore, in choosing a subject for your blog or website, you don’t only consider the search volume and average bid on it, but also the level of competition in the industry.

This is important if you hope to gain free traffic from search engines such as google and yahoo.

If the competition is very high, it would be extremely difficult for a newbie to compete with the established gurus who may have optimized their sites strongly for the search engines and ranking very highly.

However, you can still go ahead if you wish, to compete with the big guns, but you should be prepared to make serious investment in certain tools and materials, and patiently build your site.

But this is not the best way to go about having a money making site as a beginner, there is an easier way to achieving your goal of making money with blogs or websites even if strong competition exist in your subject area.

The best thing to do is to look within the industry for a niche that is not too competitive, but that has appreciable search volume and bidding level. With such a niche, you could still make money with your site without the danger of been crushed by heavy competition.

In fact, if you could pick a great niche, in terms of low competition, high search volume, and high bid level, and build your blog or website continually over time, you could become the niche leader, taking in much of the organic traffic from search engines to that niche, which could run into hundreds of thousands every month, and making the most money in the industry.

This is how to check the level of competition, to be sure you are not starting a blog or website that will never see the ray of the sun because there are huge trees taking up every available space in the sky.

Go to Google search engine at google.com and type in the keyword or the subject of your propose blog, e.g., golf training.

As you can see below, 68,100,000 web pages are brought out in the result (as at the time of doing this writing).

These are the pages the search engine could find in the entire worldwide web that have the words, “golf training” in them. This number is an indication of competition, but don’t panic, it is not a strong determinant of competition or whether your site can make money or not.

Here is how to know how strong the competition is, and if your website or blog could ever come up in good position on the major search engines, and take in huge traffic, which would therefore enable you to make money.

Individually, take the websites that appear on the first page to http://whois.domaintools.com. Copy and paste their URL in the search box, and click the “Lookup” button.

Some of the information whois.domaintools.com will provide you about the websites are their degree of search engine optimization (SEO), Alexa page rake, and inbounds links. To see their Google page rank, if you don’t have the tool on your browser, you can use the website: www.prchecker.info/check_page_rank.php

If all or most of the first ten web pages from google search result have very high degree of SEO (from 85 upwards), page rank (from 5 upwards), and hundreds of inbound or incoming links, it means the competition is extremely tough and there may not be any chance for a new site to come up on the first page of google when anyone searches for its keyword.

So, if you find your subject in such competition, you shouldn’t go ahead to set up a site on it if you desire traffic from the search engines (even if the subject is highly profitable) because you may never get it.

You will have to look for a less competitive niche, where the first web pages on google search result are page rank 3 or 4 and below, less degree of SEO, and not much incoming links.

However, if you plan to source traffic from other sources and not from the search engines or Pay Per Click, PPC, then you can go ahead to set up your site in a profitable subject, even if competition is strong – you will not be competing with them anymore.

I have just taken you through the basic keyword research process, which you must do to be on the right track to making money with your website or blog.

Researching, and discovering profitable, less competitive niches is the sure way to go if your goal is to make money. That’s where a lot of people miss it from the beginning, but I want to help you achieve that goal without you having to do the research yourself.

I’m providing you the chance to pick one from 182 top profitable niche websites that have been thoroughly researched and proven to be some of the best subjects you can make tons of cash from on the Internet.

If you have been on the Internet for some time, and you haven’t made a dime or made the money you can be proud of from your blog or website, it means you are not operating your blog in the way that it could make you money. You may be going against the laws of making money with blogs or websites and you don’t know it.

There is a way through which you can make money from your blog or website, outside which you will never make money. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve set up the blog, it will just remain there as quite as the graveyard.

In fact, some people have abandoned their blogs after a couple of weeks of setting them up when they didn’t see money in their adsense or affiliate account. They had hoped that people would start rushing to their sites and making order for their affiliate products, or clicking on their adsense, and the money would start rolling in.

But it doesn’t happen that way, there is a way you must follow or laws you must obey to make money on the Internet with your blog or website. And that’s what I want to share with you here.

I have been on the Internet for a couple of years now, and I have gone from trial and error, to buying information, to researching, testing and implementing until I discovered it!

It is the same way that the top money earners on the Internet use in making their millions of dollars every year. I haven’t made a million dollar yet, but finding the laws and obeying them have enabled me to be making money too, and since I’ve found what works, I’m now scaling my process to increasing my earnings.

That’s the beauty of it. If you did something on your blog, and you made money, which you can trace to that thing that you did, it means that if you do more of that thing, you would make more money – this is what is called scaling. And that is why the crucial point of success in online business is to discover what works.

Like I said before, I want to share with you exactly what works on the Internet based on my personal experience so that you don’t continue to grope in the dark trying to figure out how to make money from your blog by trial and error.

I can tell you, trying to figure out how money is made on the Internet by trial and error is extremely difficult, energy sapping, and time consuming, yet you may still not discover it.

The best way is always to learn from someone who has done it before.

I’m not going to charge you anything for the information I’m about to give you, although it’s what some people sell for $47 and above. The only thing I ask of you is to take this teaches (it’s actually going to be a 4 to 5 part lessons to enable me treat the subject deeply) seriously.

What I mean is that you should read the lessons thoroughly to digest the information well. If you like, you can print them out to read at your convenient time.

You need to do this if you really want to make money on the Internet, because there is no other way to achieving it, and I don’t see why you shouldn’t because the Internet is the biggest opportunity for anyone in any part of the world to make big money from home – you shouldn’t be left out of it.

However, please do not copy my lessons and paste on your blog or website. This is not allowed, and therefore it is illegal for anyone to do so. If you want to give your readers the opportunity to read the lessons, simply put my link on your site, so that your visitors can click on it to read the lessons – I’m sure they will be grateful to you for giving them the opportunity to read the lessons.

Before I dive into the lessons proper, I will like to clear a possible misconception that may come up.

My intention for writing these lessons is not in anyway to make you buy anything. It is purely borne out of my sincere desire to help position a lot of people who are striving to make money on the Internet, but are going about it the wrong way – going against the laws of making money from blogs or websites.

I needed to make that clarification because as I go along these lessons, it may be necessary I recommend some tools or resources that can help you achieve your goal of making money with your blog, these are the same resources that I use with proven result.

Where I get them free, I will let you know, but where they are not free, I will recommend only those that combine effectiveness and efficiency with affordable price, so that, like me, you get much value for your money without tearing your pocket.

But of course, you don’t have to buy what I recommend, you can look for alternative, like doing it manually, it wouldn’t in any way affect the quality of these lessons or prevent it from reaching the end when you would have fully known the laws that guide how people make money on the Internet from their blogs or websites, so that you can start making your money too.

However, the truth is that you need to use certain tools and resources to be able to get things done much faster and professionally. For instance, someone who uses article distribution software can have his or her articles distributed to thousands of directories in a few minutes, while it will take hours for another person sending the same articles to a few directories manually.

And of course, the person using the software will achieve his or her goal of getting traffic to his or her website easily and faster than the other fellow, who may get frustrated with the hard process he or she is using, and may eventually give up before ever making money from his or her blog or website.

This just shows the importance of investing in some resources and tools that can put your Internet marketing business in the path of making good money, without sapping all your energy and time.

The five laws you must obey to have your blog or website make money, that I’m going to reveal to you now must be obeyed in the order that I will be presenting them. The first one must be implemented before the next, which must be applied before the third, then the fourth, and then the fifth.

You must not jump the order, but concentrate your effort in implementing the requirements of the laws one at a time in their order of presentation.

Now, let’s start off … Click here for the first law: The First Law Of Making Money With Your Blog Or Website.

Firstly, since ClickBank is not the only Affiliate center where you can find products to promote and make money, I will give an expanded answer to “how you can pick a good affiliate product to market”.

I understand the huge interest people have about promoting ClickBank’s products. Many of the products on ClickBank give great percentage commission as high as 70%. But if you are in a country that is not listed in ClickBank to be able to participate in their program, you can do the following:

Get resale rights

If the product you wish to promote has a resale right, you can purchase it and sell it. The good thing about this is that you can use the product, sell it, and keep all the profit.

Go to other affiliate centers

You can look for the same or similar products to the one you desire to promote at other affiliate centers that allow your country. Commission junction, Amazon, Paydotcom, max bounty, and linkshare are other alternatives that accept participants from almost all countries, including Nigeria.

Now to the above question: How Can One Pick A Good Product To Market From Affiliate Centers?

Affiliate centers have statistics that tag the products on their sites according to their sales record.

At ClickBank (that’s if you can use ClickBank), they have what is called “Gravity”.

The amount of Gravity of a product, which is a number assigned to it represents the number of people promoting it that have sold at least one copy. With this number, you will have an idea of how popular the product is.

A product with high gravity suggests it is a good selling product.

At Commission Junction, we have statistics like Earning Per Click (EPC), and Network Earnings to give you an idea of how much the product is selling. A product with high EPC and Network Earnings also suggest it is a good sellable products – if people are already selling it, you too!

At Amazon, you could actually search for top selling products in any product category and get a list of the top selling products in order of their sales.

Generally, you have statistics about the performance of products, such as the ones above, including their Conversion Rate, to gauge the selling potential of any product.

But, I must be quick to say that you shouldn’t base your choice of product to promote solely on its high sellable statistics that you got from the affiliate centers.

The reason is that if the product is top selling, the chance that competition would have built up so strong is there. For instance, if a lot of people are promoting it using PPC, the level of bidding for its keywords would have gone up, beyond what you can afford to compete favorable.

Those that started promoting it newly and have made lots of money from it can afford to bid very highly for its keyword, and therefore get more traffic to their sites, and of course make more sales and more money. If you are just coming in you may find yourself caught in a fierce competition, and you may not have the money to face them eyeball-to-eyeball, shoulder-to-shoulder.

This is how many new comers to the PPC game lose money. They find a top-selling product at an affiliate center, and off they go to set up PPC campaign, without much understanding of how PPC works.

Before long they would discover they are either not having clicks or there are clicks on their adwords, but the clicks are not converting, that is, people who are clicking on the adverts are not going ahead to make order for the product. Therefore, while they are paying Google (if they are using Google Adword), they are not making any commission because they are not selling. That, of course, is a loss.

The simple reason for getting into this position is that the amount of money the marketer is biding on the high converting keywords (these are keywords that people that are more likely to make purchase use) is not enough to get his or her adwords exposed to people who may likely buy.

In a nutshell, the marketer’s adwords are only seen by people who are either looking for information or just “window-shopping”. They will click on the adverts without any intention to buy.

It is therefore not a good strategy to pick a product to promote just because it is a top selling product on ClickBank, CJ, or other centers. Most of the time, if not in all cases, products that have been identified as top selling at the affiliate centers are usually very competitive to sell.

Even if you decide to use search engine traffic to sell it, you may discover a tough competition there too, so much that unless you know search engine optimization and are able to optimize your site strongly, your site may never come near the first page on the search engines.

Experienced marketers, who have money to spend, would have secured the services of search engine optimization experts to strongly optimize their sites to a high page rank, so that whenever anyone makes a search for their keywords, their sites would be on the first page. They would have also made their sites highly professional with the ability to convert strongly.

The consequence of this is that it will be extremely difficult for you to displace these sites from their top positions on the search engines. If you want to try, you should be prepared to know deep search engine optimization strategies to apply on your site, and you should be willing to put in some months of work to build it to the level it could compete favorably with the old sites.

The better way to choose a profitable product to sell is to research an industry and find a niche that has good search volume as well as high potential to make purchase. You should also check the level of competition in the niche, and if it’s not high, you could be sure of making money in it. You could then go to any of the affiliate centers to find a product that solves an identifiable problem in that niche to promote.

And the good thing is that there are lots of profitable niches that have not been exploited yet. All you have to do is to find them.

I have heard some men expressing how they felt having their first child, but I never knew it could be so indescribable. True, I just can’t express how I feel right now as I realize that by the power of God, I was part of the creation of another life.

I pray that everyone should experience this feeling, and if you are waiting on the Lord for a child, I pray that He will do it for you, and it will come soon.

By the way, I call her Eunice, my wife calls her “Oluwatobiloba” (meaning in yoruba (her tribe): God is almighty – please correct me if I didn’t get it right, my Yoruba is still shaking), my Aunty inlaw calls her “Toluwalashe” (meaning: God is supreme), my father calls her “Osemegbe” (meaning in Ishan (my tribe): God is too good), my mother calls her “Oseiwe (meaning: God never sleeps). More names are still coming.

Thanks and have a great weekend!
