The Best Proven Way to Make Money on the Web Fast

By John G. Kelly

Do you really want to know the best way to make money on the web fast? It may look to you like a gigantic puzzle. I know it did to me not so long ago. Well this may be too simple but the answer is...follow a model...you don't have to reinvent the wheel!

Ok that may sound like homespun wisdom but doesn't it make sense? Let me tell you a bit about my "journey". I am relatively new to internet marketing as I have only been at it for a year and am learning stuff ALL the time. At the beginning I struggled a lot as I had to figure out lots of really annoying but critical questions which often stopped me.

I faced all sorts of hurdles: what market do I go after? How did I sort out what market is the best bet? How do I put a website up? Domain registration, hosting? What about ...making a site... then uploading the site, How do I set up payments on my site? How did I corrected tech glitches e.g. my text was covered by a picture. How did I start to build a list. How do I generate traffic. It went on and on. I tried lots of things for instance I spend a LOT of money on pay per click before I got OK (and only OK) at it.

What I did was to work through all the steps myself...boy I could have used a structured outline, but I muddled through. So let me give you some pointers.

The key first step is to look for niche that you can exploit. One place that has invaluable information is "Google Trends" as they will happily give you data on searches so you can find out what searches are consistently strong and what is really hot. You then research a product, its easier in the beginning to use affiliate products but more profitable to sell your own but that will come later.

After you identify the niche you develop long tail keywords eg not "digital camera" but "Sony MXC 450" as they will pull in motivated traffic (not browsers).

You will need to host and put up a website but you can easily be solved either with ready made store software eg Yahoo stores or hire a coder to do it guru, elance and rentacoder are all good sources. You will want them to train you a little so build that into the job. With that in place you can start to generate a list ... my recommendation...go to aweber to start generating autoresponders and lists!

Reality check---this will take work. And some of the work will "fail", some will be spectacular and others will be "so-so" but even poor performers will bring in some money. Let's say everything misses and your site only brings in $10 a day...that's a few mortgage payments right there. And if you can do it once you can do it again.

I hope you can see the potential. The only thing that can stop you is your imagination and willingness to put in some effort. Internet marketing when you follow a plan is not a get rich quick "scheme", it's a way to build wealth.
