Over the years I’ve been taken in by the Internet gurus who claim they will make you rich in the Internet game. I’ve tried all the tricks to make money on the Internet. Unlike his father, my son actually does make money on the Internet and guess who advised him and helped him get going? I learned during his startup and we are still growing his business. Here is what you can do to be successful:

1. Build a Community. My son came to the house one day and said, "Dad, I want to set up a website." I said okay and in less than two hours we were up and running, shopping cart and all. I checked his site a couple of days later and he had 20,000 hits on his counter. I couldn’t believe it. Many of my sites don’t have that many visitors in a year. He was selling, I was not.

The reason he has been successful is that he is a member of a community. He has been selling to this community for years. When he set up his Internet store, his community friends blogged the Internet saying that he had a new store. He was immediately in business.

What was the important thing that my son had that I did not? It was a long list of email addresses of friends in his community. He mailed a note to them saying that he had a new Internet store. They, in turn, blogged the world.

Define your interest, contact and gain email addresses of friends in your community, join chat rooms and forums of those that have your same interest, and communicate constantly with the friends on your list. Your friends will introduce you to their friends. Expand your community.
2. Start a Newsletter. Everyone has a special interest in life. For the Internet, the more esoteric it is, the better. A newsletter title might be, Coffee Grounds: The Worm Grower’s Journal. You tell your community about your newsletters and help folks to join. More on that later. You accept ads on your newsletter after it grows to a favorable size. This will be a source of extra income. You place your ads in the newsletter. Perhaps it’s an ebook on growing worms called, How I Make Thousands Each Year Growing Earthworms.
3. Build Your Website. To start your website you will need a domain name. I suggest that you use a .com domain or a .org domain. Choose a domain name. Go to Godaddy.com or a similar site and search to see if your domain name is available. For example, earthworm.com is taken but you can patent earthwormstore.com. Godaddy will make other suggestions.

Once you have your domain name, have it hosted. I suggest Godaddy.com because it is an easy site to negotiate and it has many tools. Besides, beginners need customer service and I have found Godaddy very helpful 24/7.

Build your site. I use Coffeecup.com because it is so easy to use. They also have excellent customer service. The software is free if you host with Coffeecup. I have not used Godaddy’s software, but it is available.

Building a website is very easy. You don’t need to know HTML with the above software. There are many other software options too.

If you have a newsletter, put a link at the top of the page allowing others to sign up for your newsletter. You can use Godaddy’s service. I use Aweber.com.
4. Add a Shopping Cart. For beginners, I suggest PayPal.com. Godaddy has a shopping cart too. Bizland.com will host your site and has an excellent shopping cart. There are others.
5. Take Credit Cards. I currently use PayPal for payments. They offer a number of ways for your customer to pay and your customer does not have to be a member of PayPal. I used epay.com for my credit card customers for a number of years. Their customer service was excellent and they do not charge excessive processing fees.
6. Build Your List. Keep building your list. The newsletter is a great way to do this. You will need an autoresponder to process your list. Godaddy provides this service. I use Aweber. My son uses Godaddy. An autoresponder will send an email to your new subscribers. It will send out your newsletter. It will send out a series of emails to your list. Who writes these emails? You do. How often does it send out your emails? You decide but once every two weeks is adequate.
7. Work Your List. When a guru says, "I made $38,833 in 34 hours, he is not giving you the old B.S. He really did. But how? He simply sent an offer to his gigantic mailing list. My son has just expanded his business by simply following my advice to "Expand and Work Your List." He sends out little notes like, "Guess what arrived at my store today?"
8. Build Your Links. Search engines are important. You will get a higher ranking in the search engines if many other sites are linked to your site. That is one of the reasons we writers write for the Internet. I often write as Taylor Jones, the Hack Writer. I just put that into the Google search box and there were over 900,000 entries. I put in John T. Jones, Ph.D. and I got almost 2 million entries but they were not all mine. The reason I have so many links is because I write. You should too. Write about your specialty. Don’t be like me. I write on everything in sight.
9. Sell on Ebay. Take an item from your store and sell it on Ebay. Why? Because you can mention the name of your store in the ad copy as long as you don’t write it as a domain name. For example, I sell flagpoles. I can say, "AAA Flagpoles guarantees all products sold." I can not say, "AAAFlagpoles.com guarantees all products sold." However, I could give my email address as john@aaaflagpoles.com if I were inclined to do so. In other words, Ebay is a profitable way to advertise.
10. Build Your Name. In the past I have used ads in Inc. Magazine and Entrepreneur Magazine to bring buyers to my book sites. After sales, the ads were essentially free. I made a little more than the cost of the ads but new customers came to my sites. I don’t do it now, but it is something to consider.

Does it say, "EarthwormStore.com" on your bumper?

Don’t hide your light under a rock.

Do you want to make money blogging? If you do - you’re not alone. More and more bloggers are finding that blogging is a profitable medium. Whether it be to earn a few extra dollars a week to feed their coffee habit, or making enough money to stop them having to get a part time job to get through college, or whether they’ve got it to a point where they are able to make a full time living from their blogging - there are tens of thousands of bloggers making money from blogging.

In this page I want to share some information for beginners on making money from their blogs.I will start by sharing my own top Money Making Methods (updated regularly) but below that point you to some great resources and teaching on how to increase your income from blogging .What follows is a quick summary of my main income streams from blogging. Before you read it though - keep in mind that every blog is unique in how it can make money. Some of the following income streams will work on some blogs a lot better than others - the key is to experiment with as many as possible and see what works best for you.The following income streams (from a number of blogs) have helped most people to earn a six figure income each year for the last three years from blogging. I’ve ranked them from highest to lowest.

1. AdSense

I continue to use adsense with amazing effect on my other blogs. I have them all set to show image and text based ads and find that 250 X 300 pixel ads work best (usually with a blended design). I don't have much luck with their "referrals" program but their normal ads work a treat and continue to be the biggest earner for me.

2. Chitika

Chitika continues to be a great performer. They work best on product related blogs although their recent announcement of their Premium ad unit is exciting as they now offer ads with non product focus that I'm hearing great conversion on ( $28 CPM on this ad unit ). Chitika offers a range of ad units. I find their MiniMalls work best and that Related Product Units are also good. I can't recommend them enough!

3. Private Ad Sales / SponsorShips

Private ad sales directly to advertisers have continued to grow over the last few months and as a result they're now become third highest income stream. I expect them to overtake both Chitika and AdSense in the coming months. This includes a campaign or two at Digital Photography School.

4. Amazon Associates

Amazon's affiliate program has been one of big movers. People used to make a few odd dollars from it - however in recent times it has become a significant earner. This quarter it grew even more then previously as a result of continued growth of DPS where people recommend latest books , softwares and technologies (cameras).

5. Miscellaneous Affiliate Programs

You can run variety of affiliate programs in your blogs-most of which bring in smaller amounts of money that don't really justify a category of their own. These include Digital Photography Secret (a camera technique series) , Pro Photo Secrets ( a great photoshop product) , Yaro's Blog Mastermind Mentoring Program , SEO Book ( Aaron's legendary Resource ) and the excellent Teaching Sells course ( which just continues to grow in what it offers to it's members in terms of content ). The great thing about many of these programs is that they are of such high quality that sells themselves and I am being emailed from readers who sign up to them thanking me for the recommendations !
10 Tips for Using Affiliate Programs on your Blog

1. Consider your Audience

It almost goes without saying - but it’s worth putting yourself in your readers shoes and consider what they might be looking for as they surf by your blog. Are they shopping for specific products? Might they be looking for related products or accessories? What would trigger them to purchase? Start with your reader in mind rather than the product. If you take this approach you could end up doing your reader a favor as well as making a few dollars on the side.

2. Genuine Recommendations and personal endorsements always work best

There are literally hundreds of thousands of products and services for you to choose from to recommend to your blog’s readers but making money from them is not as simple as randomly adding links to them from your blog. Your blog’s readers come back to your blog day after day because something about you resonates with them - they have at least some level of trust and respect for you and perhaps the quickest way to destroy this is to recommend that they buy something that you don’t fully believe will benefit them.

The best results I’ve had from affiliate programs are where I give an open and honest appraisal of the product - including both it’s strengths and weaknesses. In a sense I critique it. On a surface level one might think that this wasn’t a wise move and that I should have given a glowing review - however the sales that I’ve had through the program have proven otherwise. People want to know what they are buying first and even if they know a product has limitations they will buy it if it meets their particular need.

3. Link to Quality Products

We all like to make sure we’re buying the best products money can buy - your readers are no different to this and are more likely to make a purchase if you’ve found them the best product for them. Choose products and companies with good reputations and quality sales pages. There is nothing worse than giving a glowing review of a product only to send your reader to a page that looks cheap and nasty.

4. Contextual Deep Links work Best

When I started using the Amazon Associate Program I naively thought that all I had to do was put an Amazon banner ad (that linked to Amazon’s front page) at the top of my blog. I thought that my readers would see it and surf over to Amazon and buy up big - thereby making me a rich man. Nothing could have been further from reality - I was deluding myself.

I always says to bloggers that I’m consulting with that they should learn something from contextual advertising when it comes to affiliate programs. The secret of contextual ads like Adsense is that a reader is reading a post on a particular topic on your blog and when they see an advertisement for that same product they are more likely to click it than if they saw an ad for something else. The same is true for affiliate programs. A banner to a general page on every page on your site won’t be anywhere near as effective as multiple links throughout your blog that advertiser products that are relevant for readers reading particular parts of your blog.

So if you’re writing a blog about MP3 players and have a review for a particular product - the most effectively affiliate program that you could link to from within the content of that page would be one that links directly to a page selling that specific model of MP3 player. This is how I use the Amazon program today. It is more work than contextual advertising because you’re not just putting one piece of code into a template but rather need to place individual links on many pages - but I find that it’s been worth the effort.

5. Consider positioning of links

One of the things I go on and on about with Adsense optimization is the positioning of ads. I tell bloggers to position their ads in the hotspots on pages (like the top of a left hand side bar - or inside content - or at the end of posts above comments etc). The same principles are true for affiliate advertising.

6. Traffic levels are Important

While it’s not the only factor - traffic levels are obviously key when it comes to making money from almost any online activity. The more people that see your well placed, relevant and well designed affiliate links the more likely it is that one of them will make a purchase. So don’t just work on your links - work on building a readership. Not only this, consider how you might direct traffic on your blog toward pages where they are more likely to see your affiliate links.

7. Diversify without Clutter

Don’t put all your affiliate efforts into one basket. There are plenty of products out there to link to so there is no need to just work on one. At the same time you shouldn’t clutter your blog up with too many affiliate program links. If you do so you run the risk of diluting the effectiveness of your links and could disillusion your readership.

8. Be Transparent

Don’t try to fool your readers into clicking links that could make you money. While it may not always feasible to label all affiliate links I think some attempt should be made to let people know what type of link they are clicking on. I also think consistency is important with this so readers of your blog know what to expect.

9. Combine with other Revenue Streams

Affiliate programs and advertising programs are not mutually exclusive things. I’ve come across a few people recently who have said they don’t want to do affiliate linking because it will take the focus off their Adsense ads. While there is potential for one to take the focus off the other - there is also real potential for both to work hand in hand as different readers will respond to different approaches. You should consider the impact that your affiliate links have on other revenue streams - but don’t let one stop the other.

10. Track results

Most affiliate programs have at least some type of tracking or statistics package which will allow you to watch which links are effective. Some of these packages are better than others but most will at least allow you to see what is selling and what isn’t. Watching your results can help you plan future affiliate efforts. Keep track of what positions for links work well, which products sell, what wording around links works well etc and use the information that you collect as you work plan future affiliate strategies.
