Making Money On Line is Hard Work

Making Money Online is Hardwork - Quality backlinks using e-books.

2010-02-11T03:29:00.000-08:00

Good Morning, I hope this finds you all well and looking forward to a bright future.

So were still on the subject of linking just now. All of the information in this and previous blogs will apply equally well to any type of site whatever it is in existence for.

Just out of interest the three biggest search engines, Google, Yahoo and MSN all index web sites differently, their procedures change regularly and certainly move with the times, some rate keywords more highly than another search engine will, but to keep things simple, the basic rule is lots of backlinks of good quality are the best. Also having a million backlinks from one site say for example all linking back to the same forum will not be as productive as many links from a lot of different quality sites.

Check how many backlinks you have on all three main search engines. To do the test, just type in site:yoursite.com. Most of you should notice that Yahoo and MSN have relatively more backlinks compared to Google.

Another way of building up backlinks

A great way of creating backlinks for your site is to create your own E-Books which include your website URL. Obviously thes have to be in keeping with your theme. By giving them away free to your target audience you will be blasting your URL all over the net and producing backlinks. An intersting E-Book is a great enticement for your target audience and will not only be useful to them but if it is well written and informative it will build up trust between yourself and the recipient. There is also a high chance they will recommend it to others. Bloggers may well include your URL on their site as a freebie to their subscribers. So here we have a simple way of gaining lots of exposure and quality backlinks too.

Any questions? Please e-mail me and I will endeavour to answer them as soon as possible.

Making Money Online is Hard Work - Increase Traffic with Quality Links

2010-02-09T07:11:00.000-08:00

Hi, how are you today. Increasing your online knowledge and raring to go I hope.

Right the next step you need to consider is other types of backlinks. Google search engine loves blogs and a quick and easy way to increase your ratings is to create a blog related to your business/website. Or perhaps even several. There are many free blogging services. Blogger.com actually belongs to Google it's easy to use so its a good place to begin. Start posting regular blogs and make sure you have a link to your website included on your blog.

Another quick way to increase your links is by joining one of the many article sites. That may sound daunting but as long as you write in a professional way and check your grammar and spelling, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to do this. Naturally any articles must be related to your business. You can write as many articles as you like as long as they are informative and have good content - it doesn't have to be a masterpiece. However, most article sites will have certain rules and regulations so ensure you are familiar with these before you post anything. As well as increasing your links and hence your search engine ratings, articles will also give you more targetted traffic. How does this work? Well, quite simply someone, somewhere has been searching article sites or has put in a search on the net and your article has come up. Chances are if they like what they read they will click on the link to your website - which can't be a bad thing now can it.

Please email with any questions you may have and we will do our best to answer asap

See you soon but not too soon I hope, you have a lot of work to do so get started. Sandkat

Now gets take a look at External Linking. Now what do I mean by this?

Any website or blog will flourish more easily with good linking. Remember in my last blog I did the illustration about using well known movie stars?* Whatever your site is doing, whether it be information only, selling locally, nationally or internationally, your own products or other peoples, it matters not. What does matter, however, is how many people find your website. In, fact, it doesn't only matter - its VITAL.

So having your own website to sell your own products has only one real pitfall as I see it but it is a very large pitfall .... that is why I cannot emphasise enough that if you cannot afford large scale advertising or are not selling a product locally where you can use directories and have minimum advertising costs. Then your main headache will be getting enough traffic to your site to make decent sales. (please don't assume that because you are not selling locally that free directories are not for you - they certainly are and nationwide ones are very useful indeed).

Search engines work by spidering the contents of web pages. Google, for example, will run across web pages looking for keywords and links. Sites are then indexed - rather like the beginning of a book - according to their content, links, traffic etc. so that popular and more professional or should I say 'search engine friendly' sites will come first in the index. When a search is made via the search engine, the engine sets off to look for related words. If your site has great keywords in the right place and has lots of good quality links as well as excellent content then the search engine will choose your site above others. There are no miracles here, nothing but persistence, good knowledge of what you are doing and hard work will get you what you want. Remember the competition is immense. If you can afford it get some additional tools which have been created by experts you will certainly gain a massive head start which can help you advance quickly and with the greatest success

I have already mentioned the following products which I rate very highly. Follow the links to each product and read for yourself how they can help you.

New web sites can be live for weeks before Google or other any other search engines to visit. You can improve this by 'Linking to an existing site.' How is this done? One way is to join a forum group related to your website topic or niche market. Participate in their discussions and then before you leave sign the post with a link to your website. Don't spam these forums it will only lead to problems. Also only participate in online discussions if you have something useful to say. The more well known and popular forums will mean Google will quickly pick up the link to your site.    Always remember Google likes quality links.

TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC AND MORE TRAFFIC

Off Page Ranking

So far, we've looked at building your own website, types of internet selling (more to follow on this later) and keywords. We have also touched on the likelihood of getting first page rankings on Google and in this blog I want to cover what are known as backlinks.

The most important part of this process is linking.

To illustrate this - you are a film producer and you have a great story and ask lots of unknown actors to appear in your film once it's finished you find it's only vaguely successful at the box office. Now, you have written another great story and you invite a few very well known actors to star in the film - this time it's a great success - why? Simply because you are inviting celebrities and not unknowns to star in the film. Linking works in much the same way. It's very important to get other web sites to link to you and vice versa but if you can link to well known sites that, for example, Google already likes, sites with high quality content and loads of traffic, then, the search engine will surmise that you are a fairly important website and should be considered for a higher rank.

Also if a lower ranked website is receiving lots of 'click through's and is obviously becoming popular, the search engine may well decide to lower a high ranking website and give more credence to the lower ranking site.

Unfortunately, this is all a bit of a balancing act and the goal posts are constantly changing. But don't despair there is a lot you can do to get your website where it will be noticed.

If you already have a website and it's a business site for which you depend on to provide some, if not all of your income, you will have already realised that you face massive competition. It is extremely difficult to get you website to the top of the search engine rankings, certainly on a permanent basis.

There are other things that can assist you to increase the traffic coming to your website. Most people understand what links are, there are internal and external links. Simply put, external links are a connection with your web page HTML which is from another source. That is, not from another page on your website. Then there are internal links this means linking two or more internal pages of your website together.

There are various types of links, some of these are rated more highly than others by the search engines.

TOTAL WEBSITE MANAGEMENT

1. Affiliate Links

2. External Links

3. Reciprocal Links

4. Internal Links

You can add more pages to your website and if you have already purchased web designing software already, this will be easy to do. However, you must ensure the new pages you are adding, have the appropriate links to other pages on your website so that customers can click through these to find out other information you have to offer.

Start with this simple type of linking and we'll get going on the external linking tomorrow.

Making Money Online is Hard Work - How do I get Traffic?

2010-01-20T03:34:00.000-08:00

Traffic, Traffic, Traffic and more Traffic....

So, where are we now. Ah! Yes. Hopefully you have a beautiful brand new website displaying all your products that you want to sell, sell, sell. Well you can sit there forever and wait and very little will happen.

Now what you might be selling may be a product that can be sold locally, perhaps its a service rather than a product. Now that is a whole lot easier - I'm not going to pretend you are clueless here because I know your not. Any local service needs to be advertised and I'm sure if that's you, by now you will have a vehicle, flyers, etc etc advertising your business and web address, you will also be in the yellow pages (UK) or other telephone directories. I am pretty sure you will have done this too but just in case you haven't. Type in directories into you search bar and you will find a whole list of other places where you can advertise mostly for free. I did a pet sitting service once and I still re-advertise each year. Its not really a business - although at one time I was serious about it - I still do it from time to time because it really is effortless and good fun. It cost me nothing to advertise and I still get phone calls from time to time - that was only from one listing in one directory. These can be powerful ways of advertising your business and getting traffic to your website. Great if your local or can post your products.

If you already have a website and it's a business site for which you depend on to provide some, if not all of your income, you will have already realised that you face massive competition. It is extremely difficult to get you website to the top of the search engine rankings, certainly on a permanent basis. I have already emphasised using keywords to increase search engine rankings on previous posts so I'm not going into that again. In my next update I will be helping you to increase your search engine traffic by another means.

Making Money Online is Hardwork

2010-01-16T14:50:00.000-08:00

OK, so lets get on with the detail of the first of these 3 methods of making money online.

You Have Your Own Products to Sell and Want Your Own Website

You have products to sell and need to increase or even make your first sales by using a website. For a lot of people this is common place stuff and all youngsters are taught a great deal about computers, websites and web building at school. However, not everyone has just left school. The easy way to begin marketing your products on a website is to pay someone to build a website for you. This disposes of a lot of the hard work but it can be costly and you will most likely have to continue to keep paying up if you need to change or update your information - especially if your a novice.

Now without giving my age away - I first used a computer in 1997. I had never been on a PC before and I learnt at a - dare I say that dirty word - a call centre. I had a need at the time to find full time well paid employment. Call centre work was not in that bracket, so, I was compelled to stay at work in my own time and teach myself about computers, all the various microsoft packages and other bespoke systems in order to become a Manager. It was a daunting task but I loved it. I find it very satisfying to be able to find my way around the net, use many types of software and also now added to the list is building my own websites. One of the first I built is still up and running. You can find it at http://www.sweetdreamanimations.co.uk/

That was a long time ago but now the end result is I will have a go at anything. So, the time came for me to work from home, to start earning real money. I could not stump up enough cash to pay someone to build my websites and as I liked working on computers I decided to learn to build my own website. The only question without an answer was .. How!

Well, I have already promoted the particular product I used in previous blogs but here it is again.
BUILD WEBSITES LIKE THE PROFESSIONALS

I cannot stress enough how versatile and useful this product is. It walks you through every step with screen shots and help files on everything. The system allows you to build as many pages as you like. Easily add autoresponders. Allows you to add links with complete ease. Add pictures and affilitate links to you hearts content. Change your pages whenever you need to. It shows you how to set up sales, information, contact, about us pages etc. etc. You can build hundreds of websites or web pages. It truly is sa imple and incredibly useful tool. Once your site is built it walks you through hosting, pdf clients etc. There are even hlep files comcerning keywords, where to place them and the best way to set up your website for maximum image. It even makes adding google ads the simplest thing ever.

Right so thats enough of the "floggin the product to death bit". My next blog will help you consider - once you have the flashiest website in the world - how on earth you get that vital traffic to you website in order to make the sales.

Making Money Online - How is it Possible

2010-01-14T04:22:00.000-08:00

So, as I have always said, those who make instant money online are few and far between. Yet, it is possible, maybe not quite as instantly as you have been led to believe, but yes, it is absolutely possible.

Now, those who strive to set up an online business do so by different means. First, those who have or are beginning a business and set up a website as a platform for selling. Second, the people who sell things but use someone elses website. Third, affiliates who sell other people's products either from their own website or from other means.

Over the next few days I am going to set out in more detail how these three methods work and the pitfalls of each method.

Next I am going to set out the steps you need to take in order to achieve success for which ever type of selling you choose.

Then I will help you examine your own situation and find the best solution for you to be able to start earning online.

The possibilities are indeed endless, and that indeed is almost the biggest problem, the internet itself is now almost endless so you really need to work hard and with as much imagination and persitance as you can muster to make your dreams come true. And, yes, they can come true.

You Can Get Rich Quick - If You Believe That You'll Believe Anything

2010-01-06T16:40:00.000-08:00

Myth - You can get rich quick online!

Sorry, I don't believe it. If you have achieved this I'd like to shake your hand but I guess you haven't or you wouldn't be reading this article. Success does not come overnight regardless of what you read. All the products that tell you that you can be earning money 20 minutes from now, guess who really will be earning money in the next 20 minutes. That's right the guy who received the money from your credit card or your pay pal account.

The reality is it will take time to grow your online business and a lot of hard work and perseverance. You might get lucky with a best selling e-book on your first attempt but for the rest of us mere mortals that's not going to happen. Ask yourself what you really want from your online business. Do you want to sell and run or do you want repeat business and a decent reputation - well that's going to take time to achieve. Are you prepared to stick with it? Do you have what it takes to succeed?

Everyone has heard of Colonel Sanders and most people love his Kentucky Fried Chicken but do you know how long it took him to find someone who was prepared to give him a chance. For 2 years he lived in his car as he criss-crossed America with his chicken recipe, he was rejected over 1000 times before he finally found someone prepared to give him a chance. Would you have kept on trying that long? It's very easy to feel discouraged when no one is visiting your website and most people give up.

Whatever your goal is on the internet - it will take time to build up your business. If you have lots of money to start you off then Google Adwords will help get yu out there. I will explain how thi works in another blog update but for now..... just remember the following quote.

"The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for."

It's not how you look it's what you are that counts and you are worth more than you think.

INCREASE TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE WITH KEYWORD ELITE

Keywords! Where to place them for the best Search Engine Optimisation

The criteria for keywords involves both location and frequency on a web page. The search engine will look at the title of the site and if the relevant search term appears there the site will get a little star. The metatag (description) will be checked for the relevant term - if it's there another little star is awarded. Within the body of the page if the word appears near the top and throughout also near the bottom another little star is awarded. All very simple really, except that there are millions of websites all competing for little stars. Nevertheless, this is still important stuff.

There really is no difference between a human and a search engine trying to find a topic, both are looking for clarity, it's just that the search engine can't use emotions and judgment it can only rely on what the words say.

Once upon a time when the internet was younger, just by repeating the term lots and lots of times on a page was enough to send sites up the ranks. That is not so now. More and more search engines have the ability to check that the content is of good quality and by just repeating a word in a random manner will do no good whatsoever.

Making Money Online is Hard Work - Take a Look at What you Should Know

2009-12-10T07:48:00.000-08:00

Here are some of the main reasons why you should optimize your website for long tail keywords:

• Long tail keywords lead to higher conversions. Visitors arriving via multi-phrase searches are much likely to make a purchase or convert on affiliate programs By targeting these longtail phrases, you are effectively targeting a market of potential buyers.

• Long tail Keywords are much easier to rank. It is much easier to make your website rank well on search engines for longtail keywords because of the generally weaker competition. (Unless you have something very specific like a name - e.g. Robert Robertson you are unlikely to get first place rankings due to the immense numbers of website now on the internet)

• More Visitors to your website. Targeting long tail keywords will gradually lead to more search engine traffic because you’ll have a lot of pages indexed and ranking for specific phrases related to your website/business. This means increased visibility and therefore a much larger amount of search engine traffic.

• Higher monetization potential. Search engine visitors are very valuable because they are targeted individuals who are looking for vcery specific information and, therefore, are much more likely to click on contextual ads or subscribe to your site newsletter or blog feed. This grows the audience allowing you greater potential for making money in the long run through product sales or the use of third-party advertisements.

Long Tailed Keywords are, of course, just one weapon in the armoury for increasing traffic to your website/blog. Look out for more information soon. xx Sandkat

Making Money Online is Hard Work - Here's How to do it.

2009-12-09T06:14:00.000-08:00

First Step - Keywords
So as I mentioned yesterday, great if you have a website. Problem is you can sit for the rest of forever and not get a single visitor to your site. So! What can you do?

Most people have heard of keywords. A keyword is something, someone searching on the internet might enter into a search engine. For e.g. "car parts". Try this yourself and there will be millions of sites that appear on your list to choose from. You could go through several and spend considerable time before you found what you were looking for.

In order to be more specific you could try : Car parts for a BMW Z3, that would narrow things down considerably but you would still have millions of sites to choose from and you still haven't been specific enough.
Now, what your looking for is a company who can supply you with a part for your BMW Z3 within you local area. The next search on the list would be e.g. "body parts for BMW Z3 in Bristol" Now your'e getting somewhere. Not only have you found local retailers but you have changed the wording to body parts as you are looking for a bumper and not a radiator.
This is what is termed an "Organic Search"using a "Long Tailed Keyword".
Applying this theory to your particular website you
will have customers viewing your website who are

very specific in what they're are looking for, thereby, streamlining customers who are there because they actually need to buy your product rather than just looking around.
What are Long Tail keywords?

Long tail keywords are simply multi-phrase search queries which visitors use on search engines to arrive at your website. These longtail keywords are much more targeted than the general keywords and will bring the customer to the specific area they nare looking for.
Here is an example. ‘Credit Cards‘ is the general keyword and long tail keywords within this niche includes terms such as the following:

• credit cards for people with bad credit
• low interest credit cards
• benefits of small business credit cards
• good credit cards for students

These long tail keywords are actual search queries, therefore optimizing your site and creating content to match these search queries will allow you to attract visitors who search for information via these and similar search terms.
Tomorrow we will look at the reasons why you should optimise your site for long tailed keywords and how to do so.

Making Money Online is Hard Work - Inform Yourself

2009-12-07T09:33:00.000-08:00

As you start your home business in your chosen niche. You will no doubt want to have your own Website. You can pay someone to construct a website for you but it can be costly and you will not be in full control. When I did my first web site, I used a fabulous software package called . It wasn't rocket science at all - I'm no computer boffin. But it was extremely easy to use and, in fact, it did a lot of the difficult stuff automatically, like adding links, HTML etc. I would totally recommend it. They have helplines and e-mail contact is always answered promptly and professionally.

Here is a link to the product if you want to check it out.

MAKING MONEY ONLINE

So, by now you may have decided that you want to begin some type of employment from home. There are lots of opportunities - anything from Automobile Association call out operator to surveys or data in-put. But! before you decide follow the advice which I have previously given and check it out before you do anything else.
In an ideal world it would be great to have the freedom of deciding the hours you work, seeing more of your family and spending less time commuting from home to work, as well as gaining as good an income as you would at an ordinary job of employment. Unfortunately, the opposite can also be true. The point is it's up to you to decide on the direction you wish to go in and then investigate all the possiblilities and be ruthless in your search to find home working opportunities that won't lead to you spending long, long hours at the PC with very little to show for it.
Next, for those of you who have decided to be completely self-employed whilst working from home, again, there are allsorts of opportunities, you just need to go into it with an open mind, faultless enthusiasm, plenty of organisational skills, the ability to prioritise and a keen desire to make a lot of money.

So I hope this helps and I look forward to getting into the meat of the subject in my next blog where I will discuss: How to get started?
See you soon - Sandkat xx

Making Money Online is Hard Work but Not Impossible

2009-12-03T15:51:00.000-08:00

So why is making money from home on the internet so difficult?

Well there are hundreds of sites which will say you can be a millionaire in a matter of months and that they have the secret of Internet Marketing!
Unfortunately we (my business partner and myself) were daft enough to try some of these. They can and do work for these internet gurus but they have endless supplies of subscribers to sell to. All they do is create a new product and off they go at the press of a button, an e-mail is sent out to hundreds of money hungry people. So, great if you have the lists of people who you can advertise your wares to in the first place.
Things had to change so we researched Review Sites. After a good deal of searching we found one that gave us proven facts as to why the sites they had researched were the best to earn money from home. This is definately what is needed some kind of third party assessment of which "work from home schemes" actually work. Success can be achieved by following the points outlined here.
Don't swallow the hype:
We all want to become rich and there are hundreds of sites telling you that they will make you rich. Don't be taken in. Find a review site that has actually joined these online businesses and fully tested them out so you have access to quality facts as to why you should consider joining them.
You should never pay for a Review Site:
The information they provide should be free and if it isn't you will only be parting with money for a view which is biased. Also many just want your subscription fee before they let you in on what they know, once you have parted with your cash, chances are they won't tell you much.
Check the facts:
The best review sites will present you with a detailed list of findings on the sites they have recommended and how they actually live up to their reputation and ability to deliver the opportunity to make money.
Money Back Guarantees:
The most credible reviews will have included this option as matter of course. Quite simply sites that actually want you to succeed will put their money where their mouth is. It is in their best interests to do so.
No one off wonders:
Look for reviews on money making sites that have a real backend to them and have been in business many years.

Learn How to Make Money Online

Want Advice about Making Money Online? It's Going to be Hard Work to Begin with but Never Give up

If you have finally decided that now is the time in your life that you want to make a change for the better, you might want to look further into work at home positions. There is a lot of money to be made out there in the work at home field and the best thing about it, not everyone knows about it which means it is not an over saturated market. Starting your home based business means that you can finally get out of the standard work place environment. You will be able to make decisions for yourself and be in total control of your financial future.
When you work for someone else, you will never be rich, because the whole point of you working for them is to make them rich. If you were to have your own home based business then you would be able to control your wealth and finally put yourself in a position financially that will ensure that you have a more secure and happy future.
The key though is to make sure that you are entering into a home based business that is right for you. There are many different online businesses out there that you could get into but that does not mean that all of them will be suitable for you. You will want to think about the skills that you have and the things that interest you. It is important to make sure that your work interests you, otherwise you might find yourself bored and frustrated later down line.
Also, when you are beginning your home based business, it will be very important to make sure that you are putting aside enough time to actually work on your business. There are many people that get so excited by their new found freedom that they spend more time catching up on things around the house than working on their business. This is not a good thing. In the beginning, when you first start your business, there is going to be a lot of work involved. The work will be well worth it though when you see how much easier and more secure your life will become.
You will want to make sure that you are reaching out and taking all of the help that you can possibly get. Online companies that have a goal of helping other people succeed is where you will want to turn.
You will find yourself with a lot of helpful information and the motivation to keep you going. The sooner you start your research for your business, the better. Just make sure that you never give up and that you are always pushing forward and you will be greatly rewarded for your efforts.
