I can only think of two easy ways to make money on the Internet. One is building
Adsense sites, and the other one is email marketing. I will be discussing
email marketing today. I guess you could actually use both of these together,
I haven't done that yet, but I think it would work just fine. I think it
would work better than using Adwords and Adsense together. I know there are
some that can do that, but I never made more than a couple of dollars a month
when I tried it.
I think I made a mistake when I proclaimed email marketing was easy,
I should have said it was easier, I haven't found anything on the Internet
easy. The reason email marketing might be easier is because all you need
to purchase is an auto responder and if you want to you can find a free auto
responder. So it's not only easier, it's far less expensive than some ways
of marketing on the Internet. Even though I said you could use a free auto
responder, I don't recommend using one for many reasons, Most free auto
responders come with other advertisements added in with the ads you send
out and that will put a dent in your profits.
If you decide to take the free route, sign up at Click Bank and Commission
Junction both of them are free to join. Look for a few good products to sell,
Click Bank will have digital products and Commission Junction will have tangible
products you can sell. Load your auto responder up with 7 to 10 messages
about why your subscribers need the product you are marketing and add the
address link that will take them to the product. CB and CJ will furnish you
with a product link. The next thing you will want to do is find a good free
ebook you can give away. Now all you need to do is find people that will
be interested in your product.
You can do that by looking for forums that complement your product. If you
are selling golf clubs you would want to find a golf forum, answer a few
question people have posted and then put a small ad giving a way a free ebook,
which should be related to your product, and your email address to your mailing
list in your signature at the bottom of the post. Most forums will not allow
ads in the body of the post, but many do allow an ad in the sig at the bottom.
As soon as your list starts adding subscribers you will start selling products,
the more subscribers the more products you sell.
I just offered you a simple example of how you can start an email marketing
business on the Internet without spending one thin dime. It sounds simple,
and it really does work just like I explained, but you will have a lot of
learning to do, You will need to learn how to write good headlines for your
auto responder messages, you will need to understand how to tweak words to
turn subscribers into buyers. You will need to learn how to choose the top
products to market, and many other tricks, but go ahead get your feet wet,
it won't cost you anything to get started.
