You can have your own affordable online success

Many online business ideas require some level of financial investment to get them started. When you are short on cash you must do the legwork and the promotion for yourself – in the beginning anyway! At least you know it will be done right.

There are however several affordable online success methods and techniques that can be started on a shoe string budget. Imagine that you have a budget of $100 (Â£50) to start your first online business. How would you use your grand budget of $100?

I’ve been running my own websites since 1995 and blogs since 2006 and I’ve barely put any money into them other than the cost of domains and hosting.Â You really don’t have to spend much money to have online success if you are willing to work hard at promoting your sites and networking with other bloggers/ site owners.

So how can you have online affordable success?

You first need to research a theme or niche that your website will focus on. You can use a number of tools online and many of them have free versions. Wordtracker is the best trial software to use to complete your keyword research. So do your research to find a niche that has people looking for answers. Try to find keywords for your niche (usually three word (long tail keywords) are best) that have less than 50,000 competing pages. You will have more success if there’s less competition out there on your chosen keywords.

You’ll also need to find a good and relevant item to sell from your webpage, whether it’s an affiliate product that complements your site or a product that you’ve created on your own. Actually, the cheapest thing to do is make up your own product and the easiest product to create is an e-book. If you do create an e-book with information about your chosen niche, you should convert it to PDF.Â You can convert a word document to a pdf using one of the many free PDF converters available.

Having written or sourced your product, you now need to work on a sales page that will convert website visitors into customers. The hosting and website can easily be taken care of in the beginning by creating a blog on blogger.com.Â The sites are easy to manage and you can set it up in minutes, plus it’s free so you can spend your funds elsewhere or save your money for future projects.

To take payments you can use a Buy Now button from Paypal. The Buy Now buttons are quite simple to set up on your page. IF and when you begin to make sales of your product, Paypal will charge a small processing fee on a business account.Â You now have your own internet business. It’s not that hard, really.

So, just to recap, in order to have affordable online success you can use free keyword tools to help you discover a niche that you will be successful in, you can set up a blog on blogger thus eliminating hosting and domain costs in the beginning and you can create or find a product to sell. The only problem is that you still havenâ€™t spent your budget of $100. What to do eh? that’s what I call affordable online success.

You could of course spend some of your budget on low cost advertising to help get visitors to your site, but there are many ways to do that for free as well. I’ll discuss how to get free traffic to your site in a future post. Watch for it!

Want to learn how to Make money in 15 minutes?!

by Tricia

Never has there been a time when someone sits down and shows you step by step blueprints to make real money on the internet. Furthermore, no one in the right frame of mind will show you a way to do it WITHOUT spending a single penny on advertising.

You see, the Internet is huge and millions come online to have a crack at it. Majority (99.9%) just donâ€™t have a clue where to start. They attempt some techniques exposed by well known internet marketing gurus, but never really make some serious money.

Well the thing is, the owner of Google Snatch is NOT a guru. Simple down to earth guy who just knows what to do to make money online! Best of all are the techniques he uses to dominate not only a niche market but also markets that have thousands of competitors owned and run by large corporations.

He implements his own techniques and actually, in one word, hammers his competition. No Google Adwords to cheat, as each click costs an expensive $100. As at the end of the day, the bigger the market, the bigger the competition, so more spending power!

Now millions are afraid to compete in big markets because the people (companies) who have the money CAN demolish their competitors. But what he tells you is, BIG companies have more money than sense. There is no need to spend thousands of dollars to make money online. If you have the right formula, (The FREE Click Formula) then why waste money on paid clicks.

The problem with paid advertising, whether its Google, Yahoo or MSN, you can get high placements almost instantly, but whose clicking on your ads? I mean whose accumulating a large bill at the end of the month for you? Your competitors? Happy clickers? Or actual â€˜realâ€™ customers?

The work involved is just as much as setting up a Google Adwords campaign. Since the Google Slap came to the scene, it was made clear that for each keyword you bid on it requires a unique page, as a must, to achieve good popularity ranking.

So the idea is simple, yet thousands think, actually MILLIONS think, Adwords is quicker? It takes 15 minutes for the world to see your listing! But in order to get to those 15 minutes, it takes the same time to find the keywords, create the landing page and to get the campaign on its feet. Overall you could say it takes maybe 60 â€“ 90 minutes, maybe more.

Once this is setup, people will actually start seeing your ads AFTER 90 minutes as the work needs to be done beforehand.

Now for the alternative, inside Google Snatch! It takes 60 minutes for the world to see your ad, PLUS you donâ€™t pay a single cent on a click. Yet to that matter never will you ever again pay for a click once you discovered these techniques. So this you could say is the REAL get your Google ads for free!

It was suppose to be priced at $997, but at present itâ€™s next to NOTHING! So go over to the website now before your competitors use this method on you.

It’s on SALE! Until Sunday August 17th the price is only $77. It’s well worth the investment at that price!

I’ve just started looking at the first Google Snatch, but this is a brand new Formula that was just released to the public a few days ago.

Check it out and never pay for Google ads ever again and let the world see your site within 60 minutes!

To your success!

Make money using Text Link Ads

by Tricia

Every once in a while I plan to talk about services or affiliate related companies that I use to monetize this site or my other websites and blogs. One of the companies that I’ve been working with for at least the last 8 months is Text Link Ads.

Text Link Ads is a service that helps you monetize your site by helping you get advertisers to purchase link space – usually in your sites sidebar – for a week or a month at a time.

I know they base which sites are accepted by a mix of stats which include page rank, Alexa rank and I believe how many RSS subscribers the site has at the time of submission.

I went to test my theory. I’ve got two sites that haven’t been accepted yet so I resubmitted them and got the same results – well let you know when your site is accepted. Then I decided to try adding my husbands site Guitar Licks and it was accepted right away.

The only major difference between my husbands site that was accepted and the two of mine that are still waiting is that his has 8 more RSS subscribers … yet it’s a PR 3 and the site of mine that’s been waiting the longest (6 months) is a PR 4. I wrote to them to ask them to re-evaluate the two sites that I’ve had waiting for months manual. Hopefully they will do that for me because frankly I don’t see much difference in the stats of the site that was just accepted and the two that are waiting.

My advice is to not try to add a site until it’s at least a PR3, had a decent ALexa rank and hopefully at least 40 to 50 RSS subscribers.

BTW if anyone wants to subscribe to this sites RSS feed I’ll be happy to take a look at your site and return the favor.

Once you’ve added your site and it’s been accepted you must add a blank xml file to the root of that site. This is where any text ad info will be placed when Text Link Ads sells some links for your site.

Then you’ll be asked to set up how you’d like the links to appear once you have some. You can decide how many link spaces to sell. I think generally starting at 6 or 8 is good. You can also decide if you’d like the text links to be outlined in a box, if there should be a background color behind the text links and what the link color should be. I generally only use the text link color.

Oh there is a wordpress plugin that you can download and use on your site if you have a wordpress blog. I have a few blogs on the same domain. The plugin can only be activated for one site per domain.

Once you’ve set everything up properly and added the code that’s been created for your site to your sidebar you’ll see the words “Text Link Ad” in that space for approximately 6 hours. This will tell you that you did everything correctly.

After that there’s nothing else to do but sit back and wait for an advertiser to purchase a link on your site.

Some people have success almost right away, while others wait months before getting their first text link ad. Just keep working on your site, maintaining it’s current quality or improving it and I’m sure you’ll eventually get some links.

Advertisers might also be interested in purchasing Post links. These links are placed underneath a post. You can only use this feature with the wordpress plugin. I use the plugin on my main blog Tricia’s Musings and I’ve sold a number of post links.

You can approve or deny any text link or post link offers that are made. I believe you have three days to accept. If you don’t come to the TLA site and mark the offers as approved or denied I believe the links are automatically added.

I’ve never had a link offer that I’ve denied. They’ve all fit with the sites that they have been requested on.

I’ve done well with Text Link Ads. I make several hundred dollars each month with them and as I said I’ve still got sites to add (this is one of the sites waiting to be accepted) and empty link spaces to fill.

There’s certainly nothing to lose in trying the program.
