I assume that by now you have chosen for option 2, 3 or 4 out of my previous lesson. If you haven’t made a choice yet or just want to try out option 1 first be aware that with options 2 to 4 real money, to replace your current job or just as an extra income, can be made.

I can’t go into details for option 1 because I have insufficient experience in reading emails or taking surveys to teach here how to go about. I just have in depth experience, and I am still learning, in affiliate marketing and running your own sites.

I started out, after trying to do it all by myself, with an online FREE marketing team that taught me the basics of internet marketing. If you want to know about everything on marketing techniques than GRIN marketing team might be the place to go. Remember the information is FREE. Click here for GRIN marketing team.

Let’s continue with the topic of this lesson. When you start online with an online presence you need to think carefully what your site is all about. It can be a topic where you have a large experience in. It can be related to one of your hobbies or it can be that you don’t know anything to write about.

On my other blog, I have a daily top 10 of terms where people are looking for on search engines. You certainly can take a look there to find a topic you are able to write about. If you chose option 3 or 4 out of my previous lesson than it would be wise not to use a Niche on your website that is related to internet marketing. You better can write a website about dogs than how people need to learn how to earn money.
Competition is in a Niche area less than writing some website content for internet marketing issues. Yes you can go into detail about a certain subject of marketing techniques but still competition will be hard.

Another option is to get FREE information delivered in your mailbox from a recent launched service called Daily Niche Idea. These people even provide you with additional information and affiliate and earning potentials right in your mailbox. Click here for Daily Niche Idea.

By now you have chosen what kind of product you are going to use, so it will be time to choose how you want to have your online presence.

There are options:
1. Affiliate websites
Most of the affiliate websites are providing you with your own predefined webpage (sales letter, squeeze page, landing page or whatever they call them)
A predefined webpage can be used for linking to your affiliate program at your own website but mainly such a webpage is used to promote the affiliate program in traffic exchanges etc.
I’ll talk about traffic exchanges when we reach the lessons about traffic .

It is out of experience that you’ll use more than one affiliate program. It is also the best way forward since you create a multiple income stream and don’t rely on just one affiliate program to pay out.
2. Affiliate links
Affiliate links are mainly used in programs as Clickbank. Each digital product in Clickbank is associated with a so called hoplink. If you plan on promoting more than one piece of software, more than one ebook or other digital product, you need to have at least a webpage displaying all these links.
If we go further in my lessons it will become clear that displaying all of your links, at least when you try to sell products, isn’t the way forward.
With having only links, you are faced to have hosting and a domain. In my next lessons you’ll learn how to make use of that domain and hosting to provide an additional income stream. You’ll also be taught how to create a selling website.
3. Your own website
This option is the best according to me. You are always in control of the contents and design of your own website and you aren’t dependent on a website provided by your affiliate programs. You can incorporate multiple programs and have multiple income streams where as you have an affiliate website you are limited to use the predefined template each affiliate is given. Your own ideas aren’t incorporated and mostly affiliate websites are poorly designed (but great for having effect of selling).

As you see for option 2, 3 and in a lesser extend for option 1 you’ll need hosting and your own domain.

Hosting and domain

Before I recommend some hosting providers, please be aware that the domain you choose is reflecting the Niche or service you’ll provide. As you can see my domain is reflecting to my FREE lessons and therefore I chose this domain.

There are two hosting providers I recommend.
IXWeb hosting:
To me this provider is giving me excellent performance and great support. All queries are instantly or within a couple of hours resolved. Click here to get information on IXWeb hosting.
IPower: Also a good hosting provider and at this moment they run a temporary sale on their hosting. Click here to get information on IPower hosting.

Later in these lessons I teach you how to turn your hosting into income and profit.

In the next lessons I will teach you about different types of websites and what you should do in general in regards to content.

To Your Success,

To start earning online is in a way very easy and on the other hand very difficult.
It is difficult when you have suddenly decided “to go into business”. You don’t have a plan and you certainly don’t know where to get started.
It is easy if you have made already a plan and want to know what you’ll do

An online business is most of the time associated with a website. I can’t imagine myself doing business online without a website. We come to this a bit later.

Let me tell you that when I started I started in the wrong way. I didn’t had a clue what I was doing and how I should do it. Although I am pretty familiar with computers and software, I still was an IT guy and at that moment far from being an Internet marketer. This industry is going so fast and are using so many technologies where even I am not familiar with so the best thing to do is plan to earn money .

you have several options:

Option 1: Earn a decent yearly extra income by
• Reading paid emails
Recommended site: Hits4pay
• Data entry jobs
• Games and trivia
• Paid surveys
I use to start with surveys but stopped with it because at that time I was trying to make a full time online income (and yes I do but with something else).
I need to say when you are not located in the US or Canada the reward you get for taking surveys is a lot higher than here in the UK. Companies in the US and Canada are paying you about $ 10 to $ 100.00 per survey and there are even consumer groups where rewards are higher than those figures.
Check out this site, I think it is the best, if you want to earn with taking surveys.

Remember that you don’t need to have your own website. It only takes an Internet connection and a computer.

Option2: Earn a decent yearly extra or full time income by using affiliate programs.
• Dependent on what kind of program you join you get an affiliate link or an affiliate website to promote.
In case of an affiliate link it is recommended to have your own online presence. If you have more then one affiliate program you joined than it is necessary to have your own website.
I can already see without your online presence where promoting your multiple affiliate businesses will lead to. If you have less than 5 than it will be OK but presumably you’ll have plenty more. If you are promoting these businesses I can’t see you being able to advertise for these multiple sites by using their promotion adverts or online sales letters

Option3: Run your own site and own product.
• This is the most lucrative way to earn an income online. You advertise your own product you promote yourself and you can set your own price.
Be aware that having your own product is hard and tough and you need to have an unique product.
Many marketers start off with option 2 and learn along the way to create a product of their own.
How to create your own product will be taught later on in the lessons.

Option 4: Is having a product of your own and incorporate associated affiliate products.
• The best example is having your own site and get commission from a software product like an HTML editor or so that is dependent on your product.

As we have seen there are several ways to earn online and I even didn’t go into detail for option 2, 3 and 4 . I will do so when the lessons progress. You also notice that going for option 2, 3 or 4 a website is required.

Lesson 2 will handle hosting and finding a Niche for your site.

To Your Success,

Can you imagine, just for a minute… that you are walking down the street and a complete stranger approaches you and holds out a gift for you… the keys to their brand spanking new BMW!

While you are standing there stammering out a surprised ‘thank you’, he stops you and says, “Just a sec, see on that key chain?  It’s got your new house keys.  Oh, and the keys to your new speed boat….”

===============================
Never going to happen… right?
===============================

Why?  Is it a rare thing to find someone giving away something of great value? You bet it is!

Are you ready for it? Get ready… because I am going to hand it to you!

Not just yet though.  I want to to spend a second just thinking over your last few internet purchases.  Does this sound scarily familiar?

  # You spend heaps of money on the latest ‘guru’ offering.

  #  Give it a go for a bit, maybe make a couple of dollars back… but get bored.
 
  #  Feel like a bit of a failure because you were told all of these other ‘noobies’ were doing it much better than you….

So you drop it and move on to the next thing…

Believe me when I say that you are not alone in this frustrating cycle!  Day after day people just like you are losing hope, lacking inspiration and getting ready to throw the towel in.

Maybe this might even sound more familiar:

    # You start a project
   
    #  You work hard to build it, make it look great and then….
   
    #  For some reason, nobody is visiting it…

It turns out that your website has an enormous amount of competition, against people who have multi-million dollar budgets - lets face it, not many of us can compete with that!  What you need is a niche.
