How to Kickstart Monday Morning in Your Internet Business

by Paul Barrs

Remember those days when we used to have to get up to go to work, and ever Monday morning following after a great weekend we'd struggle to pull that tired old body up from under the covers and into the office or the factory or wherever it was that someone else was paying you to be?

Are you still there (maybe)?

I remember those days and if I remember correctly I could accurately say "they sucked"! You know, it's been nearly 15 years since I've had to *do that* for someone else; it's what you would call "living the dream baby."

The thing is, whilst the problem may be different, for many of us Monday Mornings are still the same - we just don't start the week the way we want to.

So here's what I'm doing this Monday morning; from it, I hope that you will glean some ideas of you can connect better with your business (your "people") and build a better income for yourself.

I started the day off with some light exercise. I never get into it too heavy in the mornings simply because this old body ain't what it used to be - but I understand a fit body builds a fit mind. The better shape my body is in day by day the better shape my mind is in and the better decisions I can make, products I can create and so on. It's a great way to start every day.

Next I sit down in my "thinking chair" (my old comfy lounge recliner) and pull out a new copy of my custom weekly "to-do" list.

But now, sitting in my chair I review last weeks' checklist and see if anything needs to be carried over. Then slowly, between measured sips of my morning brew I start to design my action list for the coming 5 days.

At the top of my list is a place for "Consulting / Coaching Clients". I have special place for these people as I am working with them directly; I create action plans for them and they go and do. If I say I'm going to *do* something for them I sure as hell don't want to forget - so at the top of my action plan for consulting / coaching is **check follow up list **.

Here's the thing... I have a great client management program on my computer. It handles details on prospecting, follow ups, action plans record keeping and so on. But truth is, no matter how darn wonderful the program is, it doesn't do squat if I don't "turn it on" and open it up! First thing on my "list" each and every day is to OPEN my follow up action planner...

90% of all potential business that a business could earn is LOST because if you don't FOLLOW-UP!

... which then leads to seeking out new "potential" business prospects, or 'prospecting' as it's called in the sales business. Here's the thing, to be successful in the running of any business, you need to determine where your "bread and butter" comes from. This is the income that you generate that pays your bills, your wages, and your staff. It's the stuff that no matter what happens in the economy, you're still going to have to pay it if you want to "keep your doors open".

This is your bread and butter income.

For me, my bread and butter is local business. It's been that way for 8 years and I'm sure will continue to be that way for 8 or more years to come. Whilst I don't always "actively peruse" local business 'business', I ALWAYS keep my finger in the pot; which for me means each month I make contact with a couple of dozen local business people and offer them free advice on how to improve their websites. Many times, this comes back to me as a job and revenue earned.

Remember; right now I'm just writing my list. It's Monday morning and I'll spend and hour writing my list while planning the week to come in my mind.

Next up I'll look at how I can make new connections in the 'internet world'. This week I'll be looking to communicate with my JV partners. I don't have any particular promotions on, so my goal is to simple "connect" with some of them; nothing more. I'm just looking to build the friendships.

Next on my custom list is Communication. Now whilst it may seem similar to Connections, I see communication more as keeping in touch in a general way with "my people" - you, whoever you are reading this; with my affiliates, with my members. It's vitally important to any business to communicate with your people and hopefully have them communicate back with you. It's always a good idea to ASK.

For me, writing this right now (and posting it to my Website) is one of my communication tasks for the week. I want to publish at least 2 personal posts and share with you what's happening in my business.

The last two areas of my own custom list are Creation and Content.

These two can often go together but usually they will begin with the creation of a some product (be it a full seminar, a special report or brandible eBook), which is then followed by making content which is then published on one or more of my websites.

But all in all, everything works together. This week I will complete the creation of another special report. Once that is done, I will then communicate with my affiliates that a new brandable report is available for them to help them with promotions. If I wanted to (though I won't be this week), I could also create a mini-seminar or video series based on the content of the book and publish it to YouTube, or to my video blog...

... as a matter of fact, there's an idea... I was recently contact by a new JV partner who asked if I could create some content slides for him with which he would then create some custom videos for me in a joint venture share arrangement. I could EASILY create some slides based on the subject matter of the book I was talking about a moment ago -

Better go write that on to my list!

Then of course, once it's done I can then connect with my own JV partners and share the content with them. I could also communicate the message in another post....

Do you see how this works?

By the end of my first hour on Monday morning do you think I'm going to be suffering any "Monday Morning Blues"? Hell no! I'm pumped! I'm looking at my list and thinking, "OK, there's too much for me to do here, how much can I outsource?"

And the week begins.

You see, the thing is, the running of a successful business doesn't always involve "selling of product"; yes, you NEED a product to sell to generate income, but once that's up, the most important thing you can do is start communicating with people - talking to them - not trying to "sell" them.

What are you waiting for? Go to it!

Creating Your First Niche Website

Selling anything online starts with an idea.

A website is a way by which you are able to communicate information online. The first question you have to ask yourself is: what information should you share?


Of course, you would want a subject you know. A subject that is closer to home, so to speak. You want a topic that you are perfectly familiar with. You will be able to share more about such a subject because of former experiences, unbridled passion, or overflowing interests. You'll be able to save up on research time that may be required in preparing the conveyance of information about the said topic. Spend a day or two finding an idea. If you still have no clue, here are some questions you can answer that might help:

1. Do you have some hobbies that you are very familiar with?

2. Have you visited a few captivating places that made you experience the territory as well as the culture they possess?

3. Where would you rather be right now? How familiar are you with that place?

4. Have you had any work experience that made you acquire some astonishing skills that not a lot of people know about?

5. Are you a fan of any particular sport? Do you know the rules, the mechanics, and the personalities involved with such a sport by heart?

6. Do you have a especial area of interest being served by a variety of products? Are you familiar and are you passionate about these products? Do you think you could write some comparative reviews about them?

7. Do you enjoy doing a peculiar activity, either alone or with friends?

8. There are times when you just don't want to work, right? During these times, you wish you were doing something else. What are these things you'd rather do whenever work seems so boring?

9. What are you good at? Giving advice to people, perhaps? If so, what kind of advice?

10. Is there something you've always wanted to learn? Though you may not be familiar with this subject right now, your desire to be well acquainted with it can incite you throughout the coming months.

Like I said spend a day or two thinking about this and brainstorming an idea that you would love to pursue. Remember, you must have a certain lovingness for this idea. This will prompt you to come up with updates for your website later on. Don't hesitate to consult with family and friends and look for their help. Two or more heads are still better than one, right? Then, make a list of the ideas that come to mind. The longer the list is, the better your opportunities are of coming up with a very fruitful subject for your moneymaking website.

Now, let's imagine that one of your ideas is about the general subject of computers. You are a computer whiz, for example, and you desire to share a lot of information about how computers work and how to fix some common problems with them. The question you should ask yourself is this: is such an idea profitable?

How exactly do you determine the profitability of an idea? With the example of "computers" at hand, run a Google search and have a look at the amount of available web pages catering to the very same subject. You'd have to compete with each and every web page to get to the first page of the search engine results. So, the trick lies in two approaches:

1. Finding a subject that has little competition; or

2. Pinning down your selected subject into a extremely particular sub-topic that your competition oftentimes disregards.

These two approaches all mean the same thing, however; that is, you have to find your own niche. A niche is a highly segmented portion of a given market that is serviced by few entities. Another example: The general subject of "Golf" may not be profitable fast but the sub-topic of "Golf Clubs" may have a lot of moneymaking potential. And if such a sub-topic is further cropped to, say, "Mizuno Golf Clubs" you would have a fantastic niche that could become a wonderful profit stream for many years.

There are no ifs and buts about it. You have to this to find a niche. Think of ideas, research them and narrow them down to targeted sub-topics. Finally, come up with a niche that people will want to be informed about without that many websites providing such information.

So, do your research, use keyword search engine tools like the free Word Tracker engine. if you do that using the example of "computers" you'll find out that "dell computers" and "laptop computers" are among the top 5 most profitable search phrases. If you want to stick with the topic of computers, these two sub-topics could be your starting point into creating your first Niche website.

These search phrases will also be your keywords. Keywords are very, very, very important for the success of your website. Internet users will use these keywords whenever they search for information on the matter. Once the keywords are used in search engines, the search engines will dispatch their spiders to look for indexed websites that contain the said keywords. If your website has the same exact keywords, then you'll have great chances of appearing prominently in the search engine results pages. So, the trick is in finding a profitable niche idea. It all starts from there then proceed to building your website.

Improve Website Ranking - Handling Too Much Monetization

A core ideal in every entrepreneur's head could very well be: you can never be too rich. This ideal applies to entrepreneurship or business ventures in both the real world and the World Wide Web. So when webmasters aim to make more money from their popular websites, they monetize them even more than they already have. But when do they draw line between what the website offers and what the website gets?


To improve website ranking is one of the continuous goals of webmasters for their websites. Because to improve website ranking is to get more attention, and to get more attention is to get more traffic, and to get more traffic is to get more opportunities to make profit. But in monetizing a website you inevitably sacrifice some quality. Ads take up space, and too many ads or links eventually get negative feedback. Most people aren't in a particular site simply for the ads that occupy half of every webpage they turn to. There's a simple answer to this that doesn't do away with website ranking.

If you notice how Google doesn't really sneak ads into the list of results it displays after every search, then you get a basic idea of how to monetize without sacrificing quality in your website. The main results list is free from ads or anything else that could irk visitors, but other portions of the page are heavily monetized. You're probably already doing that to a lesser degree, but what you can do is stretch the concept out further. Keep quality and improve website ranking to be able to monetize more by separating the ads more or less completely from the main content of your website. You can develop an offers section that can do way better than just flash a few ads from your affiliates. This way, the content of your website that more people pay attention to won't be crowded by ads and links. You can also take advantage of the page layout just as Google does whenever returning search results.

Learn To Earn Money Online Afflliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing is an avenue anyone can use to earn money online, and Internet Marketing is the platform that enables you to launch and implement your affiliate programs through. Everybody knows that no platform or foundation or a poor one of these means very poor or no results. What does this mean? It means that any affiliate program, by itself, will not make money! Knowledge in internet marketing is a must if you are going to be successful in any affiliate marketing endeavor, period.


There are many strategies and techniques that can be used to grow online businesses. The fresher, up-to-date and proven internet marketing methods are the better the results will be. Affiliate marketing is when a person is allowed to sell a vendors /merchants products and when a sale is made there is a commission paid to the person who made the sale for the merchant. Since the beginning of the internet affiliate marketing has become a favorite avenue for earning income at home.

Internet marketing skills are what puts people and products together but learning intricate ways of selling, building relationships, product research, understanding audiences (the various different groups of people searching for products within a niche), understanding niches, understanding relevance, web design, how to set up campaigns and more all comes from internet marketing experience. It's the biggest reason newbies and anybody who thinks that they can just go online and make money just because a work at home program says no experience necessary gets taken so easily and in more ways than one. Clearly it's a sales tactic for many programs. Experience is always a plus.

Actually internet marketing helps to take much of the guess work out of making affiliate sales by giving the marketer knowledge about things as simple as relevance. Staying relevant about a product from the entire web page to the keywords to the ad when promoting to a relevant audience is not a very easy thing to do when you barely understand anything at all about the internet. It's definitely easy to see how internet marketing/affiliate marketing gets such a bad rap about not being what it's all cracked up to be. Truth be known it is exactly what it's cracked up to be.

Sadly most people enter it from the very start with the wrong thinking. Most of us go to school for at least 12 to 13 years learning everything we know yet just because someone puts on their product no experience necessary many think that they can take that program and go out and make a million dollars in record time with no education about the main vehicle that's to fuel the program which is internet marketing.

Remember that without internet marketing skills an affiliate marketing program is basically a big guessing game of hit and miss. Who in their right frame of mind would want to stake their future on that. Only people who are much too desperate to realize that they can't possibly do this type of venture and expect good results. Affiliate marketing is not a game, it's a business and it's very real. It's a great way to make a lot of money but you must learn everything you need to know about the system that is the pinnacle of it's success and that is internet marketing.

Making Money Online With Surveys - The Real Truth

There used to be a time when making money online with surveys was simple, many people used it as a second income, some even as their primary income. Shortly after 2004 the market for online surveys grew and grew until it reached a point of saturation. When this happened online survey sites were no longer what they used to be, many would compete against each other for the surveys that clients were offering to be completed. So what was the result of this? Well the number of online survey sites increased massively, the problem was they were all sub par; the reasons?


1: Many were unable to offer a decent amount of surveys for the end user, because of this the payout was usually too small to bother with.
2: To keep maximum profit many survey sites would never payout to the end user and then shortly disapear.
3: Some even started charging for membership in an attempt to regain some lost profits.

Whilst all this was happening there was still one survey company who were never affected by the turn in the market and even to this day continue to dominate the online survey domain, and they were; Survey Adventure. So why are they any different to the others?

1: They remain the biggest online survey site around and are provided with surveys from very big corporate research companies.
2: They offer large paying surveys, some are worth upwards of $8 just for 1 survey!
3: Their survey list is enormous and ever growing, because of this you will rarely ever run out of surveys to do, and so the earning potential is almost unlimited!

So if your thinking about making money online with surveys then use Survey Adventure, they are the most popular and reliable in the industry and most people could earn a nice second income with them in the comfort of their own home!

Survey adventure are completely free to join and after becoming a member you could be earning money within minutes!

How to Use Keywords to Position Your Articles

The greater the number of articles in circulation, the more exposure you will receive, however you always want to focus on producing high quality content, rather than just on the quantity that is being distributed between these networks.

Submitting an article to an article directory would get it on the internet. That part is what's correct. But, it won't mean that the article will actually get viewed, and it also won't mean that people will click the backlink.

Thus, when talking about positioning your articles, it essentially means positioning them in the relevant searches, so that they're more likely to be found by the right people.

You can include your keyword in your title. Article directories will often use your title text in their HTML tag for the page...which will help you rank better on Google for that keyword

Keywords are important - that can't be stressed enough. Considering that search engines are still the primary way in which people look for anything on the internet, it means that people who are looking for things in whatever niche you're in, are going to be doing so on search engines.

Basic keyword research is really pretty easy, and there isn't too much about it that even a beginner can't come to grips with. Seeing as Google is the most popular search engine around, getting data from it seems to be a logical place to begin.

When conducting keyword research, there are three considerations in particular that play an important role:

1. Number of Searches

Quite literally, this is just the number of searches per month. If a term has a high number of searches, it means lots of people are looking for it, which definitely makes it a better choice.

2. Competition

Once you have a keyword that has a decent amount of searches, plug it into Google and search for it. When you get the results, take note of how many there are. For instance, if there are 11,800,000 results, then that means a lot of people are competing for that keyword.

On the other hand, if you end up with something like 1,800 results, then there are very few competing websites.

3. Profitability

Not all traffic is as profitable, and sometimes, for certain keywords, the traffic that is obtained just refuses to be converted. While there are a lot of factors that can affect this, it isn't too relevant as far as keyword research is concerned.

Instead, it is better to know just one simple test of the 'profitability' of a keyword.

Insert keywords in such a way that they flow smoothly through the article, and follow the 1% to 3% keyword density rule closely. For each article, it is generally advisable to have one 'short' keyword of about 2 to 3 words, and two 'long' keywords of 4 or more words.

Online Marketing Ebook - Why Write One Today

Many people are looking for ways to make money online. They do so, since it's a lot easier when compared to an 8 hour job where you have to deal with a boss who keeps watching you. One of the ways that people can make money online is through writing an online marketing ebook.


Writing and selling your own online marketing ebook is a good source of income since it makes you an authority in this field and gets more potential customers to buy your other products which then converts to income for you. If you're having second thoughts about writing your own online marketing ebook, try to read some of the reasons that is listed below and then try to decide if you should pursue it or not.

Writing an Online Marketing Ebook is a Breeze!

First, it's really easy! People easily give up the thought of writing an ebook mainly because they have no skill in writing. However, before you even start getting discouraged, try to look back and you will be amazed that you can actually write a mini book! Whether it's a speech you created, an article you wrote, or a seminar you gave, it's already material for your writing career. Anyway, ebooks are just short, ranging from 20 to 40 pages only.

That online marketing ebook will not only make you credible, give you a good reputation online and who knows something more. It may even lead you to become popular! Writing a book on any subject will let you gain the respect from people who will look upon you as someone who has authority or an expert on the field. People will also want to know more about the author, making you a pseudo celebrity.

It is easier to come up with an ebook in comparison to a traditional book. You can start with a small booklet, audio cassette or a special report on anything. In time, as you begin to get used to it, you may turn into an online marketing ebook production. Furthermore, writing ebooks is inexpensive. There are no fees to pay for printing, publishing and binding. What you basically need is just a computer to write your ebook and people just download it thru the internet if they purchase it, thus eliminating the costs for purchasing paper to be used. The money you save for those things may be used in marketing your ebook.

The Cost of Writing an Online Marketing Ebook

And the most convincing reason why you should make an online marketing ebook - well, it literally pays. Imagine gaining big profit for a lesser cost! The very moment you make a sale for your first ebook, you become reputable and this gives you the authority to charge a larger fee for the next ebook that you will produce. You can even get some opportunities offline like speaking engagements in colleges or seminars or somebody may hire your services for consultation purposes. It's just like a stepping stone for other ventures that will ultimately pay off big time in the long run.

I hope by now you are already convinced to write your own ebook. Move forward to the next step and decide what topic you wish to discuss for your ebook, promote it and be ready to obtain the benefits of your online marketing ebook.

How to Generate Cash Online - With Little Or No Investment

Everywhere you go nowadays on the Internet there's someone trying to entice you, someone trying to persuade you into believing that what they have is what you want. That it is necessary for you to pay $29.99 or $49.99 for their product or service in order to be successful online.

This is just not the truth, while there are many opportunities one can invest in, their are other opportunities that also require little or no investment at all. If you're new to the Internet and have not been surfing for a decent amount of time you have a huge learning curve to get past, there is a revelation that you need to receive which provides the understanding that 90 to 95% of all the income opportunities presented before you on the Internet arena or nothing but hyped up scams that promise success by only leaves sadness in the hearts of those that are seeking success like you and I online.

After you get past that you have to reprogram you're thinking because you understand that it's not about reinventing the wheel but it's about following step-by-step systems, and modeling yourself after successful people. I say all this because if you don't get this understanding years of your time money and efforts on the Internet will be wasted on scams and half truths that will not get you anywhere.

Finding real opportunities

Like I said before the way you find real programs and discover real opportunities is to model yourself after successful people or model yourself after successful systems. There is what the Internet calls affiliate programs that provide a proven track record to deliver real opportunities for people that have little or no income to invest. With

affiliate programs there is no website that is required there is no product that you need and there's no merchant account that you have to possess, all you need is the ability and the perseverance to advertise and promote a vendor's product. In exchange you will receive a portion or percentage of the transaction into your account.

The truth about making real income online, income that you can really be proud of is not seeking to advertise someone else's product but rather developing your own. Where you have your own website product or service, where you can receive credit card transactions and other merchant benefits, having your own advertising in place and branding yourself in your own specific niche.

Making money with AdSense

When you've arrived in this position you can now start making money by having ads placed on your own website, google will literally pay you to stick other people's advertising on your promoted website, this does not cost you any money and is 100% profit, there are other unique ways to make money when you have established yourself as a seasoned Internet marketer.

Until then focus on what works, focus on a proven method and strategies that you can duplicate while getting past the Internet learning curve and building your empire online.

Run Your Home-Based-Business Or Online-Business Using Viral Marketing

This article is dedicated to exploring the concept of "Internet Marketing", and how "Viral Marketing" can explode your home based business. The question of how this type of marketing can help you get more customers to your site can be explained in pretty simple terms.

Anybody Ever Had The Flu?

Think of "Viral Marketing" as if it was a flu bug, or flu virus. With the flu virus, one person will get the virus and transfer the flu to a second person. Then the second person will do the same and transfer it to another person and so on, until perhaps hundreds of people will have the flu. But it all started with the first person. Marketing using a viral approach is the same way.

Viral Marketing Can Cause Your Visitor Count To Sky-Rocket!

When you use viral marketing as a way to advertise your products or home-based business, it all starts with one person. Then that person will tell someone else about your product and that person will tell someone else and on and on. When the viral effect catches on, it can cause your visitor count to sky-rocket almost overnight!

Have You Ever Doubled a Penny Each Day for 30 Days?

Have you ever heard the old saying about the "doubling penny? If you take one penny and double it each day for thirty days, you wouldn't believe the total amount of money you would have after thirty days. It's in the millions of dollars! Go ahead and try it on paper. This is how "Viral Marketing" works.

What I'm trying to get across to you is "Viral Marketing" works, and that's the bottom line. Where else can you set up any kind of a home based business on a shoestring budget, and have a good chance to have your ad or message spread like wildfire across the internet. That's what all online business operators pray for. That's what it's all about. Letting as many people as possible know about your site or your product. That's when the money will start rolling into your bank account.

Everything You Need to Spread Your Advertisement!

The best and the easiest "Viral Marketing" site that I know about can be found at the site listed below. This site has everything you need to spread your advertisement all over the web with very little work on your part. This way of marketing can build a mailing list quicker than anything you've ever seen and can make you a ton of easy money.

16 Ways to Drive Traffic to Your Blog

You've got your blog set up and you've started posting pithy, useful information that your niche market would benefit from and enjoy. Days go by, you keep publishing, but no one comments and your traffic stats are barely registering. What do you do?

Like any website you own, you must do some blog promotion to start driving traffic to your site. Here are 16 steps, in no particular order of importance, that you can start doing now to get traffic moving to your blog.

1.
Set up a Bloglet subscription form on your blog and invite everyone in your network to subscribe: family, friends, colleagues, clients, associates.
http://www.bloglet.com

2.
Set up a feed on My Yahoo.com so your site gets regularly spidered by the Yahoo search engine (see tutorial on http://www.biztipsblog.com)
http://www.my.yahoo.com

3.
Read and comment on other blogs that are in your target niche. Don't write things like "nice blog" or "great post." Write intelligent, useful comments with a link to your blog.

4.
Use Ping-0-matic to ping blog directories. Do this every time you publish.
http://www.pingomatic.com

5.
Submit your blog to traditional search engines:
http://www.submitfire.com

6.
Submit your blog to blog directories. The most comprehensive list of directories is on this site:
http://www.masternewmedia.org/rss/top55/

Tip: Create a form to track your submissions; this can take several hours when you first start so schedule an hour a day for submitting or hire a VA to do it for you.

7.
Add a link to your blog in your email signature file.

8.
Put a link to your blog on every page of your website.

9.
If you publish a newsletter, make sure you have a link to your blog in every issue.

10.
Include a link to your blog as a standard part of all outgoing correspondence such as autoresponder sequences, sales letters, reports, white papers, etc.

11.
Print your blog URL on your business cards, brochures and flyers.

12.
Make sure you have an RSS feed URL that people can subscribe to.
The acronym RSS means Rich Site Summary, or some may consider its meaning as Really Simple Syndication. It is a document type that lists updates of websites or blogs available for syndication. These RSS documents (also known as 'feeds') may be read using aggregators (news readers). RSS feeds may show headlines only or both headlines and summaries.

To learn how news aggregators/RSS readers work, see this site: http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-readers.htm

13.
Post often to keep attracting your subscribers to come back and refer you to others in their networks; include links to other blogs, articles and websites in your posts

14.
Use Trackback links when you quote or refer to other blog posts. What is TrackBack? Essentially what this does is send a message from one server to another server letting it know you have posted a reference to their post. The beauty is that a link to your blog is now included on their site.

15.
Write articles to post around the web in article directories. Include a link to your blog in the author info box (See example in our signature below).

16.
Make a commitment to blog everyday. 10 minutes a day can help increase your traffic as new content attracts search engine spiders. Put it on your calendar as a task every day at the same time.

How to Make Quick Money On the Internet by Sonni Carr

We all want to know how to make quick money. There are many reasons why you may need to make money fast. It could be due to a vehicle breakdown or some other emergency. No matter why you need money fast it's a good thing to know how to get it.

The internet provides many opportunities to make money. What's amazing is that so few people know how to do it! Choosing your method is the first step to making money online.

Just to let you know some of the methods available they are:

(1)
The first method is to offer a service to a business. There are many out there that want someone to drive traffic to their sites or write articles for them. This is a good option if you know something about internet marketing. They will pay you per job or by the hour.

(2)
The second method is affiliate marketing. Most companies spend plenty of money on advertising and use part of their budget to pay affiliates. They give you an affiliate ID to put in a link then you link to a product and when it sells you get paid a commission. There are some affiliate programs that pay right away through PayPal.

(3)
The third method is by selling your own information product. If you are capable of creating an e-book or some other type of product you can make quick money. All you need to do is drive traffic to your site with pay per click and begin to make money right away.
There are more options than these, but this will get you started. The one thing all these methods have in common is that you do them all just by blogging!

You can add articles to your blog with affiliate links to promote products along with selling your own product if you have one. Blogging doesn't have to be an issue because there are blogging mentors online that will guide you.

I recommend Amy Bass, the owner of the Niche Blogger. She has the best blogging mentor program online, hands down. This way you avoid trial and error and focus on how to make quick money.

Why fool around trying to figure it out on your own? You will make money faster and easier with a step by step method like Amy's. There's a 3 day trial offer so you can start free and experience for yourself how to make money quick.
