Here I am going to show three steps you need to follow to win money online.
First Step - The Research
Working online is just like starting any other business and you have to know if their is demand for your product or service. In simple terms you must know if people want what you have to offer.
Luckily for you, there are tools available that helps you doing the research for your market in 10 minutes or less!
Go to the Google Keyword Tool
Type in the keywords you think your target market will search for and take a look at the results. The higher the figures, the better.
Second Step - The Research Products
There are a few options at this stage. You can choose to sell your own product if you have one, or sell somebody elses.
The way this works varies depending on whether the product chosen is "physical" or "digital".
If you go the physical way, you will need to make sure you work out how much postage and packing is going to add to the cost of your product. If you don't have a product, you could try dropshipping. There are plenty of companies that will happily post out orders on your behalf, which means you can make money without stocking or even seeing the product!
I would personally recommend the digital route as it is far less hassle, and conventional items such as Books, DVDs etc are increasingly delivered online, rather than by post. If you have an eBook, Music, Video or any other digital product to sell then you're all set.
If you're just starting out you probably won't have your own product. But hey, that doesn't mean you can't make money online! There are many companies online that will provide you with an entire database of products you can instantly start selling online, and earn commission on (affilliate programs).
With the internet being the way it is, everything is tracked, so you get paid for every person you send through who buys. All this without any high overheads or startup costs!
So, you've got your market and you've found a product, what next?
Third Step - Getting Traffic
The key here is to get as many people as possible who are interested in your market to see your product and be given a chance to buy it.
This is where many people starting out tend to fail and give up on the internet as a valid source of income.
Okay, so how do you get traffic?
Start a blog
PPC - Pay per click
Write an article
Write a review
Make a video
Use social media e.g. facebook, twitter, etc
Some of these options will cost you nothing but a few minutes of your time, whilst others will cost you money. If you're starting out I'd recommend sticking to the free options. They will make you money if you use them properly!
Writing an article or a review of the product you intend to send and posting it on your blog and getting other bloggers to share it on their blogs/facebook/twitter you're likely to drive a lot of traffic to your page and hopefully make some sales!
