The BEST Book on How to Make Money Online: A step by step guide

The Best Book on How to Make Money Online: A step by step guide

Like many people I was downsized during the financial meltdown of 2008-2009 However, my first novel “Frostie the Deadman was doing well, and the follow up was nearly completed so I wasn’t too concerned

I should have been.

But I had years of experience at my profession and a good rep in the industry so I figured I wouldn’t have too hard a time landing another job.

I assume a lot of people in my position felt the same way. But as the following weeks turned into months it became all too clear that more people were being laid off than were being hired and those being hired were asking for a lot less money in salary than I was.

Then my publisher ran into financial trouble and was unable to publish my follow up. And without a follow up, the royalties on my first book began to dry up.

I was in trouble.

I decided to form my own publishing company and together with a few other authors I created Ari Publishing. I figured that as published authors we wouldn’t have much trouble building readership, but then a writers strike hit and the market was suddenly flooded with books, many being marketed for free on Amazon’s KDP program.

These events did not bode well for our hero.

Ari Publishing’s books http://aripublishing.com did get positive reviews but the competition was simply too high and we began to flounder. However, I was determined to succeed. So I immersed myself into the publishing business and learned everything I could about it. Then wrote a book so other independent writers and publishers wouldn’t have to go through the same hell. Here’s the link: http://amzn.to/1hTVD35

But the economy was still down and the old school book marketing methods wasn’t working so I needed to find a new way to get my books in front of the public.

I discovered affiliate marketing through sheer luck. I read a blog that described the process and it was pretty simple (that’s what I thought at first, I would soon learn that wasn’t the case.) It broke down to this: You went online to a big retail store like Amazon, Wal-Mart or Target, scrolled to the bottom of their home page, clicked on the Affiliate link and joined.

Simple enough.

You chose the products you wanted to promote online, the company gave you an affiliate link and you wrote a review of the product in an article or blog post and include the affiliate link in it. When someone clicked on it and bought the product or ANY product they featured, you would get a commission check.

As a writer, I figured this would be a piece of cake. Easy money AND a great way to market www.aripublishing.com books.

It would be a year before the affiliate route provided any real money. Why? Because affiliate marketing is a business. A business I knew nothing about. I spent months hawking books on a blog that had no readers and I didn’t know how to change that. 

Plus, at the time people were new to internet purchasing and were VERY wary about putting their credit card info online.

I now had a pretty good handle on book publishing but then discovered that writing and publishing a book was a walk in the park when compared to marketing those books!

Here’s the problem. Writer have ENORMOUS egos. We think that once we write a book, the masses will hungrily devour it and beg for more.

Here’s what really happens. You write a book, publish it and wait for Hollywood to call. That doesn’t happen. What DOES happen is Life stops by, says hello then punches you in the face then says. “Listen up. A book is no different than any other product. You’ve seen those guys on street corners relentlessly hawking their wares, hoping to make enough to open a store of their own. Well, you’re one of them now. You want to make an honest buck? Then get out on the internet and learn how to sell it!”   

Word to the wise: Don’t say stuff like, “But I am an Artiste, a Scribe! Not some petty door-to-door salesman!” Because if you do Life will punch you in the face again… and again, just to make sure he got his point across.

So in addition to learning the publishing business I had to learn how to market online. 

Which was another uphill battle because you don’t know what you NEED to know to succeed. So you stagger from one pointless venture to the next, selling little and learning the hard way with each step.

BUT I DID LEARN. And am making good money and more each month. It is a full time job but I love what I do so the hours fly by.

But I didn’t forget how hard and how disappointing those early days were. And how much time I could have saved if I only knew then what I know now.

So take a tip from a guy who’s been there and done that. It doesn’t matter what affiliate product you have or service you provide, you need to learn how to market it over the internet. And my latest book: The BEST Book on How to Make Money Online: A step-by-step guide http://amzn.to/1h8ovoB shows you exactly how to do just that. And you actually can do it with No money, No Experience and No product of your own.

It costs only $4.99 and will save you months if not years of trying this and that and making no money whatsoever. My methods actually work, (I know because I use them) So download it here http://amzn.to/1h8ovoB and give it a read. It might very well change your life.

Clickhere to read step #1

Clickhere to read step #2

   Welcome back. Yesterday, in step#2  I spoke about how to start an Internet Business with no product, no experience and no money. Today I’m going to show you.

   I know you’re doing this because you want to make money now, but don’t commit to anything yet. Let me show you around first. Remember what I said about paralysis by analysis, you get too excited and move too fast you’re going to waste time and lose money. You’re building a foundation and it’s best to first learn the game before playing

   Remember, selling these products DO NOT require you to call anyone, or try and sell your friends and relatives or generally become a pain-in-the-ass. This is a new way of doing business. Just follow these blogs each day and slowly but surely, you’ll get there.

   There are a number of companies that offer products to sell. First is www.clickbank.com They are the biggest when it comes to products. They have a number of tutorials and signing up is free but you will need that business email we spoke of yesterday so they can verify that you are a person not a spambot. So stop by, join and look around. Once you’re a member, go to the top toolbar and click on marketplace. On the left will be a red column listing of the types of products they sell. Click and look around, have some fun and get your feet wet.

   Down the road I will send you an hour and a half video tutorial on how to maximize Clickbank to make you lots of money. but you’re not ready for that yet. The best way is to start small, learn what works and what doesn’t, and slowly build a steady income. Then once you know what you’re doing, go to town!

   The biggest and most popular affiliate site is the www.warriorforum.com  They used to be free to join but spambots started filling the site with fake ads and products so they presently charge something like 10 bucks for a lifetime membership. Once you sign up, you create a user name and that name gets you into www.warriorplus.com where you can become an affiliate and sell the products they offer.

   The Warrior forum is an on line community, meaning you can watch how those who are more experienced get sales and what type of products are the most successful. Most sell for around $15 dollars and most people are willing to shell out that much for the products and information they want.

   Most of these products have a 50% commission but before you can sell, you must get the owner’s permission first. There is a link at the end of each product to get approval. (Keep in mind these products are their bread and butter and they can’t afford some online spammer giving them a bad reputation.)

   There is a tried and proven method for Warrior plus that can generate between $1500 to $3000 a month but you’ll need to learn a bit more before I pass that tutorial to you. Just follow along for the next few days.

   So, what is the most successful method for selling a product in today’s market?

   It’s not TV, radio or the internet. People fast forward through TV commercials, listen to commercial free radio and I’ve yet to meet anyone who stays on an internet commercial after the first 5 seconds are up. So what is it? It’s emails and blogs.

  Surprised? You shouldn’t be. The first thing most people do in the morning is check their emails then go on facebook. I mention my blog on Facebook everyday (you’re reading it now) I’ve had over 11,300 visitors to date over the last year, many of whom have purchased my novels. (Have a look on the right to see selection.) You’ll likely remember what you read here today, but how many TV, radio or internet commercials do you remember from yesterday? This is why you don’t need to make sales calls or bother relatives. You simply supply access to a product people want.

   Another great way is to write ads and articles linking to a product. Here’s how it works. When most people want something the first thing they do is go to Google.com and type in what it is they’re looking for. I spoke about this yesterday regarding “foreign coin collectables”. You type that in and Google sends you to the pages that best fit. If you have written a small article about foreign coin collectables with a link to foreign coin product and have used the best keywords (more on that as we go along) you’ll like get thousands of clicks and a number of sales.

   There are free ad and article sites that have hundreds of thousands of subscribers and are popular with Google. And you don’t have to be a good ad writer or article writer to make sales. Here is an excerpt from the how to article I’ll be emailing you later today.

Article writing basics

In the intro: Tell them what you are going to tell them in the article.

In the body: Tell them.

In the summary: Tell them what you told them.

   The author goes into greater detail in the article itself but It DOES basically boil down to just that.

   As mentioned yesterday I have an article written by one of the most successful internet marketers in history. It is considered the ‘Big Bang’ when it comes to selling online with no product, no experience and no money. It’s been around for years yet it continues to make a lot of money for people because it’s so simple and its only about 10 double spaced pages long! I'll be discussing this tomorrow at length and answering any questions you may have in the comment section.

Step #1 How to Start an Internet Business with No Product, No experience and No Money

   A friend of mine was laid off last Friday from a job he held for 11 years. He seems upbeat and confident that he’ll get another one in no time.

   He is 52 years old.

   And that is NOT good. He doesn’t participate in social media so he won’t see this but I read recently that the odds of securing a similar position with the same pay scale decreases by 10% for every year you’re over that half-century mark. Which means that my friend at age 52 is 20% less likely to be hired than a person under 50.

   He’ll be 53 in July. Then he will be 30% less likely. By age sixty he’ll be virtually unemployable.

   And there are A LOT of people under 50 looking for jobs.

   There are always exceptions to this rule. Specialists in various disciplines come to mind. Those in the corporate hierarchy probably need not be concerned, but the majority of us don’t fall into those categories. Most of us are simply people who work white or blue collar jobs that make a product or provide a service.

   So ask yourself. If your only source of income is from your present job, what will you do if, like my friend, you get laid off and are unable to get another full time job with a decent salary? I ask because your competition is rapidly approaching. Many of my adult children’s friends, just out of college with bachelor and Master degrees are seriously underemployed, underpaid and carrying substantial student loans.

   And they’re desperate for a real job, possess the latest technical skills, are physically able to put in long hours, nights and weekends and…

   YOU’RE IN THEIR WAY!

   I’m not saying this to depress or worry you but this is a reality that needs to be addressed and dealt with.

   The working world has changed. Age and experience, once valued, are now a hindrance. It views the experienced worker this way. They will soon have health issues, they aren’t as sharp, they resist change and have difficulty learning new complex business procedures. PLUS, they expect to be treated like a human being when in fact, they are NOTHING MORE THAN MEAT MACHINES, TO BE WORKED FOR AS HARD AND AS LONG AS NECESSARY AND WHEN THEY FALTER, BE DISCARDED AS QUICKLY AS ONE WOULD REPLACE A SLOW AND OBSOLETE COMPUTER.

   Listen, can you hear it?

   TICK… TICK…TICK…

   There’s room at the top they are telling you still, sings John Lennon on the song Working Class Hero. But first you must learn how to smile as you kill, if you want to be like the folks on the hill.

   During the last election the folks on the hill showed their true colors. They’re using their vast resources to get our elected officials to put an end to unions, pensions, businesses providing healthcare, Social Security and Medicare.

   But what if we turned the tables?

   What if these massive companies that are buying all this influence suddenly had millions of small business competitors? Small businesses that, unlike the ones these massive companies undercut and ran out of business, could compete by selling the same products at the same low price?  

   Well, that would change things, wouldn’t it?

   How would you like to have several sources of income streams that require your attention for only few hours a day?

   This is no get rich quick scheme. There are no phone calls involved, no sales pitch, no mailing things or contacting friends or relatives. However it IS an actual way to make an honest living which isn’t at all hard if you’re willing to listen, learn and do what is necessary to succeed. To do this, all you need is a computer and internet access.

   So this is what I’m going to do. Over the next few days on my DAILY BLOG (Click on the green box on the top right column for access) I am going to show you exactly how to create these sources of income and I will present several different methods because what one person wants may not work for everybody.

   Some of the better money makers may require you purchase certain software to run the program (don’t worry, none of it is over $29.95, some are between $2.99 and 10 bucks and many are completely free.

   Why I am doing this? It's because I’m starting to make some money doing exactly what I’ll be teaching you (not much so far but it's steadily increasing and it takes a while to grow a business) and since I was taught for free by several people whose only request was that I have a look at their product, it seems only fair to pass on this knowledge.

     So make a note to stop by tomorrow. Click on the green DAILY BLOG box after work (I’m usually ready by 5:00 pm EST.) and we’ll get started. Tell your friends and leave your credit card in your wallet or purse. I won’t be selling anything, just showing you what’s possible.
