How a "Newbie" Can Make Money on the Internet
So you hear about all of the people who have become millionaires on the Internet, but you've spent months and hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars without success.
You are about to run out of resources (also known as cash).
But if they have done it, why can't you? Actually you can.
And it doesn't take much cash! Probably the least expensive way to get started is by using affiliate marketing.
With Affiliate programs you promote products or services produced by another company (merchant), generally on the internet using websites provided by that merchant.
The merchant benefits by gaining additional traffic to their product at no cost to them unless they make a sale.
Note - the merchant does the selling.
Then you, their affiliate, earn a commission on the sale, often in the 50 - 75% range.
Just a couple of cautions! Choose a quality merchant with a product you can believe in and won't be embarrassed to promote.
It also helps if you have some knowledge of the product.
And use a merchant that uses a third party to administer their affiliate program.
That means the third party tracks the sales and pays the commissions to the affiliate.
But how do you go about promoting the product - also known as driving traffic to their sales site? There are many ways to create traffic, but most of them cost cash which you have already admitted to being short of.
So what do you do? My suggestion is Article Marketing.
Basically you write articles about the product and submit them to an article directory.
Once you have an article published on a directory it stays there working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all over the world.
You are getting your piece of content in front of millions of visitors each month.
One added benefit - once published, your article stays in the directory for a long time.
The more articles you write, the more likely your to generate significant traffic to your site.
You say you are not a writer? You don't have to be.
There are many websites where you can purchase articles for a surprisingly small fee, or hire someone to write them for you.
But I suggest that you try it yourself first.
It is not that difficult to write a 300 -500 word article.
Just keep the content relevant and to the point.
