Do you want to learn a strategy that can bring you a ton of traffic and income all at once? There is a strategy that is taking over the internet and it will not even cost you one cent. Let me share with you my article internet marketing strategy. Don’t worry if you are not a good writer there is still a way.

So here is how it works. You are going to write articles and submit them to free article sites. Then, at the end of the article you get to write a little bio about yourself or whatever you want. This is where you can include a link to your site, and this is where you will generate traffic.

Now, I know you are wondering how you are going to write these articles that are going to bring you so much traffic. If you are a good writer you will have no problem and you will write with no problem. However, if you are not a good writer you could have some issues here.

That is where ghostwriters come in. You can search the internet and find someone to write your articles for you and allow you to take the credit in the author bio. This is a great way to get all of your articles written for a couple of dollars per article.

The only other thing you need is a way to have these articles optimized to get listed on Google, MSN, and other search engines. Even a great writer may not have any idea how to optimize an article for top rankings and traffic. Once you can find a way to optimize your articles you are all set and you can drive a ton of traffic to your website.

A great deal of money has been made by online entrepreneurs who have implemented these 3 highly successful business models that can help you create income online without having to invest a single a cent in website design, hosting, optimizing or website maintenance.

1. Affiliate Marketing

This is how to set yourself up as an affiliate marketer

1. Becoming an Affiliate

Firstly you need to sign up as an affiliate with individual companies or affiliate networks that represent several companies.

These affiliate networks usually have a wide range of products and services to choose from and offer everything from e-books to networking products to sell.

They also administer your account in such a way as to provide you with up to date earning and traffic statistics.

2. Get Products and Services to Sell

Next you need to identify the products or companies whose products you would like to promote.

You can do this by either choosing the most popular, hottest selling products or the ones that you have an interest in or are knowledgeable about.

3. Selling and Marketing

Once you've got your unique affiliate link, which you'll get from the affiliate network, for each product that you want to sell you need to start getting it all over the internet.

This link can then be promoted by,

1. advertising it

One of the most effective and most popular advertising models involves you setting up a Google Adwords account

You then purchase pay-per-click keywords on which determine when, where and how often your Google Adsense ads appear all over the internet.

Your affiliate tracking code will be embedded in the Adsense link which will send buyers directly to the affiliate merchant.

You will then earn commission on each sale made.

This is the best way of getting massive targetted traffic to the merchant's site where your prospects will hopefully make a purchase.

However, whilst you may be generating traffic don't forget that each click your ad gets costs you money and if you are spending more on Adwords advertising than you are generating in commission you will be out of pocket soon.
2. having it included in someone else’s website

3. using it in an e-mail newsletter - direct marketing

2. Start Selling on eBay
eBay is the hottest e-commerce site on the web today, and for good reason...

* More than 2 million people visit eBay.com every single day, spending an

average of two hours navigating through eBay's pages and listings

* More than $1,000 in sales happen on eBay every single second

* 72% of eBay users have incomes in excess of $50,000 per year--so they come ready to spend!

And while those listings will cost you only pennies to place on eBay's pages, you gain immediate access to millions of buyers who are looking for items just like yours.
3. Start Selling on Purpose Built Websites
One of the easiest ways of setting up an online business is to buy into a ready made store front that will be populated with thousands of digital products and services all embedded with your unique affiliate tracking code

So everytime a purchase is made from your site you are credited with the commission.

You have taken the time to set up a quality site and perform all the details associated with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to maximize your chances for successful selling. Having done all that hard work don’t forget to register your site with either Google or Yahoo! Local listings to help online shoppers in your area to find your business in the local listing directory in time for holiday shopping.

You can signup by visiting Create A Google Account and Create a Yahoo! Account

You want to act on this sooner rather then later because address verification is required to list your business and can take a few weeks for the process to turn around from registering your business online to having it listed in local directories. For example, creating a Google local listing is 100% free but you have to register your business online now so Google can send you the address verification postcard (which you must validate) to complete the registration process. This can take a few weeks and time is getting short for the holiday season.

Acting on this tip can be important to your business especially if you offer products or services with wide consumer appeal. Whether you get listed in time for Christmas or not, being in your local listing directory can pay dividends over time.

Making online sales can be difficult and the more exposure you get for your website the better. It is my personal opinion that registering with Google is more important then Yahoo due to the enormity of Google’s online presence.

Another often-overlooked strategy to increase your site sales is local linking with businesses in your town, city, and county. Especially with businesses that have a natural relationship to your business. For example, if you sell deliverable pet food, you want to link with every pet store you can find in your neighborhood and online! The key is strategic link exchange, which not only helps expose your business, it expands your network and establishes B2B relationships and can increase your page rank (especially when you exchange links with high quality sites that have a high Google page rank).

While these linking activities can require a significant investment of your time, they can pay a spectrum of dividends over the long run.

In January of 1996 two Stanford University PH. D students started a research project that would eventually be known to almost everyone in the world as the best way to find information on almost anything. Larry Page and Sergey Brin are now two of the most successful men in the world for obvious reasons.

So how did the ‘Google Empire’ become such a valuable asset to so many people? They started with a simple thought. Create a tool that analyzes the importance of a web page by the number of links pointing to it. This in turn will provide anyone with important pages on whatever subject they are researching. This tool proved to be extremely valuable and grew extraordinarily fast.

Now the search algorithm that Google uses is far more complex than just looking at the number of links pointing to ones site. There are many SEO experts who claim they know Googles secret but if you ask any Internet Marketing expert they will tell you that this is not possible. You may be thinking, how did these guys create the revenue needed to cause this tool to grow so fast?

Google is not only a SE it is an advertising monster. When you do a search for just about any topic you will see ‘sponsored links’ at the top of the results and to the right. Advertisers who pay google for every person that clicks on their ads create these links. These ads are also placed on webmasters pages for their viewers to click on. This advertising system is one of the most popular modern day techniques used by advertisers and is called ‘Adwords’.

You may be wondering why a Webmaster would want another webmasters ads on their site? Someone creates a website with valuable information on it strictly to provide that information to anyone who wants to read it but why not make some money as well. This system is called ‘Adsense’ and it is making webmasters thousands and even millions of dollars. The Webmaster signs up for an ‘Adsense’ account, chooses their ad format and posts a simple code onto their site. This code displays different ads every time the page is refreshed and every time someone clicks on the ‘Adwords’ ads, the Webmaster gets a cut of Googles revenue.

This is a very simple explanation of how the ‘Google Empire’ became so great. I am sure you have used this tool in the past but wondered how exactly they did it. I hope this article cleared up any confusion and helped you appreciate the genius behind this amazing company.

Do you have an incredible website and you want to build your traffic and sales? Are you sick of using all the new methods and not seeing them work for you? There is a new marketing method that has been producing incredible results that last for years and grow over and over.

Have you ever seen the movie “The Butterfly Effect”? This new marketing method is based on the same theory. If you change one little thing or you do one little thing it can cause a stream of things to happen in a way that they would not have happened otherwise.

This theory is based on a butterfly flapping its wings in Japan and causing a hurricane on the other side of the world. This theory has been proven and it is the same with marketing. One little thing today can cause your website to get a huge amount of traffic for the next 5 years.

What are these little things that can cause you to get all this traffic I talk of? They can be as simple as getting a back link on an article site or in an ezine. You could end up with your link on a bigger site that is up for a long time and gives you traffic for years to come.

Believe it or not there are some things that you can do to make sure that you get traffic today and even more traffic for many years to come. There are some secrets that are in the butterfly marketing method that will allow you to drive large amounts of traffic to your website for years to come.

You've probably seen this headline before and wondered if it actually is possible to really make money online without a website.You may be surprised to to know that it really is possible and it is not as difficult as you may think! How does one accomplish this seemingly impossible task? This article will teach you how!

There are always people on the internet searching for products or information. With a little ingenuity you could be reaping the same rewards that other internet entrepreneurs enjoy, even without your own website!

There are several ways to make money online. The obvious way would be to own a website that takes orders for goods that you sell. This is a costly and time consuming method. But you can still make money online even without owning your own website and going to all this trouble.

One method that I have used, with success, to make money without a website is by promoting affiliate products. There are many great affiliate products available to promote. Affiliate products can be either a physical product as well as informational products. The next time you are visiting a website with products that you are interested in, notice if they list an affiliate link at the bottom of the page. If they do, you may want to consider promoting their products.

How can you promote products without a website? It really isn't as difficult as you may think. Once you sign up as an affiliate with a company, they will assign you an affiliate id and link. When someone clicks through your link and/or makes a purchase you will earn a commission.

How do you get people to click your affiliate link without a website? Simple. Join and participate in forums! For instance, if you want to promote a computer product, you could join a forum with a topic related to the computer product that you would like to promote. Be sure that the forum allows you to place a signature link in your posts.

Do not blatantly try to sell the product in the forum. Simply place your affiliate link in your signature. Be sure to contribute interesting posts with good information and rest assured that readers will automatically want to check out your signature link.

It's also a good idea to purchase a domain name to use in your forum signature so that your link is not an obvious affiliate link. Choose a domain name that describes the product that you are promoting. After you purchase a domain name simply point that domain to your affiliate link. That way when readers click on your domain name they will be directed to your affiliate through your link.

This is a great way to make money online without a website! If you enjoy chatting in forums or talking about your interests you won't feel like you are working at all. Have fun posting and go make some money!

Do you want to start working from home and making money without the huge out of pocket expense for advertising, inventory, and all the other so called necessities of a business? There is a way to get started working form home and making money for free with absolutely no obligation.

I am here to tell you a little story about a 25 year old man who had to move back in with his parents because this world was a little to hard for him. Yes, I am talking about myself. I moved from my hometown in Indiana to North Carolina thinking I could find a job and get things going for myself without much of an issue. I always wanted to move away and become successful online somehow.

I never realized how much easier it was to know that my parents were only an hour a way though. I only lasted about 3 months before I could no longer support myself. I thought I had it all planned and the job market would be better, but I was wrong. So I moved back in with my parent with hopes to save some money and open an EBay business selling goods I would purchase from auctions, garage sales, and wholesalers.

In the midst of all this moving around and researching my new business venture I happened to discover a way to make some serious money with an affiliate program that I had forgotten I was even a part of. I had joined SFI years ago and tried to promote it, but I had no idea what I was doing and nobody was there to help me. The system is set up so that the team leader can help the new members and advise them the whole way, but id didn’t work that way for me.

This is when I decided to take matters into my own hands and start my own team and learn the strategies that are needed to be successful. I teach my strategies to my team members now and get to share in the joy of knowing that they are becoming successful with my help.

There is never an out of pocket expense for my advice or to learn how I am becoming a quick success online with the SFI affiliate program. I share all my secrets and I am there every step of the way. This is how I have been able to move back out of my parents home into my own house and support myself in ways I never believed could be possible.

Have you always wanted to be known by your friends and the guy or lady that is making extra money at home? Do you want to create a lasting extra income from your home with only part time work? There are many ways that you can be making extra money at home on the internet.

Tip #1 – Pick an affiliate program and follow all their advice

Affiliate programs have been making people money on the internet ever since the internet became available to the public. Affiliate programs are basically referral services. You refer people to a website and when they purchase a product you are paid a commission. There is a lot of money that can be made with affiliate programs.

Tip #2 – Don’t give up and don’t expect to get rich overnight

This is the biggest mistake that most online entrepreneurs make. You can try program after program and marketing method after marketing method, but if you quit too soon or give up on your program too soon you will never make any money online. You have to pick an affiliate program or a few affiliate programs and stick with then. It does you no good to quit and start over.

Tip #3 – Build your affiliate program with free marketing methods

There is no reason to pay for marketing if you are trying to make extra money. Plus why would you want to start your new venture in the hole? Use free marketing methods until you build up a little bit of money. Then, invest that money in some paid marketing methods.

Tip #4 – Pick Affiliate Programs that allow you to either recruit or make residual income

Why would you want to recruit or make residual income? Simple if you can recruit people to sell products for you, then you can create an income that never stops. The same with a residual income it will continue to come in without any extra work. This is how so many affiliate marketers are becoming rich

Tip #5 – Don’t be afraid to work and work hard

I have one simple philosophy about affiliate marketing. Simply this, you must be willing to put in the hours to build your marketing methods or you will fail. Also, if you have a great marketing idea, why wait, start right now.

There you have it folks. Those are my 5 tips to making extra money at home. Sure you could do other things like clean houses or stuff envelopes, but I prefer affiliate marketing. It is much easier and much more rewarding.

Buying an established website can be a great way to jump start your new internet business for three reasons.

It is important to note the difference between an established, developed website and a cookie-cutter site that is simply a copy (in design and content) of the original domain. Established, developed websites that are good to buy will be at least one year old and offer a good selection of content. Cookie-cutters that are not worth your time or money are often very new and their content and design are duplicated all over the web.

One of the top reasons to consider buying an established website is that it already has traffic flowing in from various sources. As an internet entrepreneur you know that traffic is vital to the success of your new business. If you buy an existing site with an existing flow of traffic then you do not have to start from the bottom and build up from there. You can use that existing traffic to grow your fledgling business faster and bigger than you could starting from scratch with a brand new domain name and site.

Hand-in-hand with the existing traffic flow, you will benefit from the previous owners search engine marketing efforts. An established website will possess back links and listings in various search engines and directories. These will not only add to your traffic but will also make it easier for your improvements and marketing efforts to reap greater rewards. A new site can take weeks or months to get listed in many directories and search engines. It can take months before a new site is given any type of recognition or ranking. However an established website has already paid its dues (so to speak) and so you will not have to wait. Not only is the domain name itself listed, but usually a good many subpages have also been indexed by various search engines.

Finally, an important and often overlooked benefit of buying an existing domain is that many of the good website names have long been taken. However, once you start searching the marketplace you can often find not only a domain name that reflects your target audience and keywords but also an established website that has been search engine optimized for those keywords as well.

If you are just starting out and looking to establish your own internet presence then you should look into buying an established website to give your new web business a jump start in terms of traffic and search engine marketing.

Buying an established website can be a great way to get a head start for your new internet business and save you a lot of time and effort. While buying an established website is not cheap, it does not have to be expensive either, and if you do your homework you can quickly earn back your money. While buying established websites has always been a good idea, now more than ever it is a great time to buy an established website.

The domain market is a buyer's market in that there is a wide selection of domains available. You can find very specific domains targeted toward a niche and funky, original names you can use for almost anything. The internet is no longer like the Wild West and a good many internet entrepreneurs have developed and then abandoned sites for a variety of reasons.

The domain market (or rather the domain aftermarket) is a buyer's market in that due to that great selection and availability prices are down. You can easily acquire an established domain for a few hundred dollars and if you pay a higher price you can feel confident that benefits will increase accordingly.

Finally, now is a great time to buy an established website because there are so many forums, services, and tools available to help you not only refine your search so you know what you are looking for but also help you gauge the right price range you should expect to pay. In addition, there are services and tools to help you find the right establishes websites for you to buy, determine the fair market value for the property, and then help you negotiate the best price.

If you want to start your new internet enterprise at the head of its class then you should consider buying an established website rather than developing a new site from scratch. Now, more than ever, is a great time to buy established websites for sale.

People are taking more and more to the internet marketing these days. After all, who would not be enticed at the opportunity of earning 5 to 6-digit income every month aside from your day job’s salary? Other than the fact that internet marketing is a very lucrative business, internet marketers can work with their online internet marketing business anytime: before their day job or after their day job; and anywhere: subway trains, on planes or at home.

Most people who have had backgrounds on online business, affiliate and internet marketing and article or content copywriting may find their new internet career easy. However, to those whom the opportunity of earning income online matters most – like non-revenue earning housewives, single parents who need the extra income – internet marketing need to be explained from the bottom to the top, from the basic to the most complicated to avoid the pitfalls of the trade, if there are such.

To begin with, internet marketing require basic skills.

1. Website Designing

Basic and primary skills on web designing are needed to make your own website. Of course, there are many generic websites for sale or for free but duplicated websites and contents don’t give much to the market who is constantly seeking for new information. Furthermore, duplicate content decreases the probability of your site being indexed by Google and other search engines and thus, minimizes the chances for great traffic. Web designing skills are important for original websites or niche sites.

2. Copywriting Skills

Internet marketers need to know how to write contents for their niche sites or website. But these articles should not just be any article. They must be rich with unique and relevant information, have adequate keywords for the particular niche you are writing it for, and it must address a specific or particular group of readers. Copywriting skills are also important to write articles for article directory submissions which will eventually lead traffic back to your niche sites.

3. Keen eye for business opportunity

An internet marketer must have a good, keen eye for possible new online business ventures. He needs to have a good head between his shoulders to know where to put his money on whether it be investments in online foreign exchange trading, in e-book courses on internet marketing, or in new tools and software for copywriting, and such. He needs to know which investment will yield more returns and which investments on trade tools he can simply do without.

There are numerous simple and easy ways to make some extra cash online. This article will give you some ideas.

Surveys

One of the best ways to earn some extra cash online is by taking surveys. There are many companies that need consumer opinions on a wide range of topics, and many of them will pay you money or with points you can redeem for cash or prizes. It's easy and free to signup and the more surveys you take, the more money and prizes you will get. It just takes a small investment of your time.

Writing

If you have decent writing skills, there are many publishers and content distributors who need content for their websites. Two such sites are AssociatedContent.com and Helium.com, they will pay you for each article you write. You don't have to be a fantastic writer either, just have a good grasp of English and be able to write something of interest on a given topic.

Blogging

Blogging is fun and easy and, again, you don't need great writing skills. You just need to be able to communicate your thoughts and ideas well. You can get your own customizable blog by getting a domain and hosting package that includes the Fantastico module. This module allows you to install the blogging software, WordPress, with 1 simple click. It's super fast and easy and you'll be blogging in no time. Once you have some visitors, you can add Adsense ads or affiliate ads to leverage your visitors and make money from them. Remember, the more interesting your topic, the more people will be interested, and the more readers you get, the more money you will make from your advertising. Blogs can be about anything, what do you have a passion for? What is your interest? Blog about it!

Affiliate Marketing

Many online companies have affiliate programs. Amazon.com, for instance, has a great affiliate program that allows you to sign up and get a customized URL to any page or area of their site. Then you can send this URL to your friends and family and encourage them to buy gifts from Amazon.com. With every purchase from your affiliate link, you get a commission! There are thousands of other affiliate programs out there, in addition to Amazon's program.

Sell Your Extra Stuff

We all have extra stuff laying around our houses or garages. Why not get rid of it and make some money too? Get your stuff and take a picture, write a description and put it up on eBay. You may find that something you thought that wasn't worth anything, is actually worth something!

People all over the world from all walks of life have their own particular reasons why they want to focus on starting a home-based online business. Be it internet marketing, paid surveys, affiliate marketing or anything that will involve opportunities of working from the comfort of your home, people will look for information on how to get started. And for reasons of being their own boss, to have more quality time with family, and more importantly, for the reason of having financial freedom...people tend to fall into different type of membership programs just to get started.

For someone whose reason is for financial freedom, all they want is something that will help them to start earning money a.s.a.p from the time and effort that they spend on starting the business. But the question starts from there? Is there really a genuine online business that exists? Once you start looking for that opportunity that will help you achieve the financial freedom that you want, you will be overwhelmed with the types of opportunities available. But they all have one thing in common - asking for money to register so they can reveal all the information.

For a small amount is fine, but when you start being a part of it, they will continue to offer more for a lot of money. As they say, you should be ready to invest on internet business opportunities that's why some people say they already spent a fortune before achieving success. Good for them because they have a fortune to spend to get started and it has all paid off after a while's wait that's worth it. But for people who doesn't have enough money to spend, they tend to hesitate on which program to join.

Starting an online business can be very difficult to some people that's why a mentor is needed. One reason to find out if the business is genuine if the contact person is readily available to answer all your questions and who's willing to spend some time teaching you...not just spoon-feed you with all the information on paper. It needs genuine contact from the mentor.

Anyone who knows anything about business knows that organization means efficiency and efficiency means more money. If your online home business includes the management and promotion of websites this is something you should read in order to get organized and make more money. If you are just starting you can use this as a plan that will prove to grow your business very fast. If you are an experienced Internet Marketer you can use some of these tips to help increase your online income. Now I will tell you exactly how I organize my home business to create success.

The first thing that you need to do is to figure out exactly what your goal is. Most likely your goal is to obtain top SE rankings so that you can maximize the possible customers for your online home business.

The next thing you need to do is figure out what you need to do in order to meet your main objective. This should be gaining a lot of quality links pointing to your site, and creating as much unique content as possible.

Now you need to come up with the structure in which you will create and promote your online home business. You now have a main objective and you have broken down, in a very basic way, how you will meet this objective. This is exactly how I organize my business in order to obtain top SE rankings:

Monday – Write one article and submit it to the top two article directories and mass submit it to a distribution service. After the article marketing is complete find as many quality link partners as possible including directories. The length of time you take on this will be determined by how much time you have in the day and the need for links coming into your online home business. If you can get just one or two quality links today then you have met your goal.

Tuesday – Do exactly the same thing with a brand new article as you did on Monday. Create as much quality, keyword optimized content for your site as possible.

Wednesday – Once again, write an article and submit to the same places. Use the rest of the day for SEO. Double check Meta tags, titles etcetera. Do some research with the search engines to see how you are ranking and possible more importantly to see how your competitors are ranking.

Thursday – Today is strictly replying to e-mails and picking up any loose ends that you may not have finished. Use Thursday as a day to reflect on your online home business progress.

Friday – Write your fourth and last article of the week and use the same submission technique. Try to do a little bit of everything on Friday if possible. Add on to some of the quality pages that you created this week. Seek a few quality link partners.

This is the schedule I go by on a weekly basis and my online home business continues to grow on a monthly basis. Of course there will be times that you cannot follow this perfectly but do your best. If you were to follow this procedure exactly on a weekly basis you will definitely without a doubt have loads of targeted traffic coming in every day.
