Pay Your Bills With Your Online Income
Has there come a time in your life where you just wonder how you are ever going to pay the bills? Or perhaps you want to get away for a vacation. Perhaps you have been looking at a new wardrobe or a new vehicle. Have the kids been missing out on their education through higher school fee’s?
What ever your dreams are, have you worked out how you are going to achieve them?
- You can go out and work harder, keep the boss happy and work more overtime.
- Get another JOB, if you have enough hours in the day for another JOB!
- Or you can generate an extra income online.
The answer is to work smarter and not work harder. You have probably heard this before.
So what are the advantages of an online income?
- Generating an online income gives you the opportunity to work from home.
- You dont have to answer to a BOSS.
- You do not have to work specific hours, you can fit it in whenever you have a spare hour or so.
- You build your own business at your pace.
The necessary aim to creating an online income is not to spend huge amounts of you precious or spare income. Unfortunately there are a lot of “Guru’s” out there who are willing to sell you a product and then if you need support, they either want to charge you for their assistance or there simply is no support.
How do I know this?
I had the same challenges when trying to start out. I will admit I spent many dollars on un-necessary products that promised to help me generate an income online. I read all the promises
- “You follow my plan and you will be earning $hundreds/thousands within a couple of months!”
- “You can generate a 6 figure income without a website!”
- “Within months you can be financially free!”
It was all just hype. I was registered with so many different sites and getting so much c**p that my head was spinning. I had to stop and look at where I was going – backwards financially!
There is no such thing as a product that is going to give you financial freedom with a short time. And hey! it is going to take some time and it is going to take some work. And hey! it is going to take a little cash.
Sorry, but you need to know these things now!
If this isn’t what you were looking for, then I suggest that you click onto another site, or go open a beer or what ever!
Okay – so you are still here – great. Now lets talk about how you can go about changing your life.
I can help you in the right direction, I can help you get started, but I cannot make you do the work. That is up to you. Those who know me personally, know that I don’t pull punches and that I lay it straight on the line.
I want you to look at your future. How do you do that?
Look where you are presently. If you don’t do something different – this is where you will be in the future. Same income, same JOB, same future!

It will cost you nothing to see how we can work together.

Online Income
If you’ve tried making money online before, you probably know that it’s often difficult to get started.
Most people think you need a lot of experience in building fancy websites and generating tons of traffic to make any real sales.
The other day I stumbled across a site that actually shows you (step-by-step) how to get a complete money making website up and running in less than 2 hours … guaranteed.
It also shows you the secrets to getting the top spots on Google in as little as 24 hours!
Here’s some of what you’ll discover when you watch these videos:
- The no cost methods to automatically getting 100 or more visitors per day within 24 hours of building your site
- How to find a HOT niche in less than a minute.
- Where to instantly get free content.
- How to constantly have your site updated automatically.
- The fastest methods for making the most money with your site.
Here’s what just some people had to say about the videos after watching them:
“A “must see” for anybody who wants to start making money on the Net fast.”
“Some of the best beginner techniques and tips I’ve ever seen.”
“…it is wonderful to see exactly how to do these things when you are someone like me who does not have a background in building websites.”
Over 4,500 people have already watched these videos and saw a site being built from scratch (it’s surprisingly easy when you watch these) and actually make money in less than 24 hours.
The whole process is covered from start to finish in step-by-step videos that are easy enough for anyone to follow.

Getting Free Website Traffic
In our last blog I showed you how to set up your own web business on just $5 per week. Today I’ll show you how to promote your business on the cheap.
Here I am going to refer you to a great friend, Jim Daniels and a blog that he wrote
The following techniques work great, for business owners who do not have a lot of money to spend on website traffic. All of these strategies require very little, if any money, and they all grow your website traffic.
-
Search Engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN
The search engine Google.com, the web’s top search engine delivers a high quantity of high-quality traffic to my sites. There are no big tricks to top ranking either, at least not any that will work in the long term, and that is what should be most important to you.
That said, you CAN get some great ranking if you follow Google’s recommendations.
Just make sure your site is properly optimized with the right keywords for your niche. The rest happens by getting a high number of quality links to your site from other sites. The more quality links you attain, the better the ranking your site receives. It’s that simple.
Yahoo.com also delivers quite a bit of traffic to my websites. At the very least, use the FREE URL Submission from Yahoo.
MSN.com is also making a dent in the search engine market, and they are making a concerted effort to expand in that area. In fact, I’ve seen traffic to my sites from search.msn.com grow steadily, especially recently. If you have not added your URL to their search engine, take a minute and submit your site for free here.
One note about search engine traffic… too many people put all their eggs in this basket as far as website traffic goes. Do not make the mistake of thinking that you must have top search engine ranking to succeed online. That is far from the truth.
A top ranking does not mean automatic success. Many businesses are surprised when they get a top ranking and it does not amount to a windfall of traffic and sales.
The most successful businesses on the web reply on a combination of traffic sources, so read on.
- Links/Content/Passive
Getting lots of incoming links to your site is important. Not only will a site with lots of incoming links do better in search engines, lots of direct traffic can arrive via those links.
The best strategy I’ve used to get links, starts with content. You write articles based on your niche, post the content at your site then share the content with other webmasters. You can do this passively, and “on-the-fly” by simply including a short footer after your all content at your site. The footer tells webmasters they have permission to reprint your article at their website or in their newsletter.
Be sure to let them know that they need to include a live link to your site. You may even want to tell them exactly how to link to your site. (Preferably with a short description of your site and a hyper linked keyword or two. This will help search engines determine that the sites are related and give the link more relevance.)
There are lots of websites in need of decent content. Let others sites use yours and you can benefit greatly – your links will grow continually with no effort on your part. And the beauty of this strategy is that only sites in your niche will use your content. This means your links will be high quality links from sites in the right ‘neighborhood.’ This goes a long way with the search engines.
- Links/Content/Active
Next, take your content and actively submit it to article directories. The traffic you get from this strategy is immediate as well as long-term. And it can go a long way in establishing your expertise on your topic of choice.
Every week, visit at least three article directories and submit your best, current articles. Make sure the articles are helpful and include a small footer at the end, about the author.
Here’s a short list of article directories:
http://www.ezinearticles.com
http://www.ideamarketers.com
http://www.goarticles.com
http://www.netterweb.com
http://www.jogena.com
In addition to submitting articles to those websites, you can and should also email your articles directly to ezine editors in your niche. Every web business owner should keep a list of email newsletter editors in their niche. This list should include editors’ first name and email address. Then USE the list every week and get your articles published!
- Repeat Visitors
The importance of getting repeat visitors is often overlooked, yet repeat visitors are usually the people who end up making purchases at your site. There are lots of ways to get these valuable repeat visitors.
Most of my repeat visitors are generated by my follow-up autoresponders and my email newsletter. Whenever someone visits any of my sites they are offered a valuable ebook at no charge. Along with the ebook, they receive a subscription to this newsletter, BizWeb eGazette. I also let them know that I’ll be sharing other niche specific information with them from time to time.
The informative emails that follow are pre-written and scheduled to go out about once or twice a week, for a period of about three months. The email messages themselves are informal offers for more help and guidance, as well as a variety of product and service recommendations and coupons.
This strategy pulls visitors back to the site they first visited as well as bringing them to my other sites. Since they have expressed interest in my information already, they are very receptive to related sites and offers. This repeat visitor strategy is a big key to success online, and one you should be using too.
- Offline Marketing
There are lots of ways to get free website traffic from the real world as well. For instance, you can go to vistaprint.com and get free business cards with your website address on them. You can put your website address on your vehicle and get free promotion while driving around town. You can use newspaper and classified ads.
If you try offline marketing, just be sure you ask every website visitor who joins your opt-in list, how they found you. That way you know which strategies work best.
- Web 2.0 Marketing
Web 2.0 may sound like a confusing or even technical term. All it really means is going “social” with your marketing.
An example of this is to make a video that creates a buzz, then share it across social networking sites such as Myspace.com, YouTube.com, facebook.com, digg.com and more. A quirky video that makes people laugh or opens a discussion can bring thousands of website visitors. Best of all, this strategy is free. All it takes is some originality.
Another example of web 2.0 marketing is to create a blog at blogger.com or wordpress.com and make it a must-see destination for web surfers interested in your niche. Again, this goes back to creating unique content that people want to read over and over. So put on your thinking cap and put together a place you’d want to visit often!
Let’s wrap it up for today…
There are lots of ways to get free website traffic, and I’ll be sharing more with you in upcoming issues. In fact, I’m building a new “set it and forget it traffic solution” that I’ll be offering free to my subscribers next month. So stay tuned…

Creating A Web Business On The Cheap
Here’s a question my great friend Jim Daniels gets all the time…
“Jim, I want to make money online and have a few ideas, but I’m flat broke! I mean, I could probably scrape up, at the most, $15 per week — but that’s about it… should I forget about it?”
Here’s my advice to financially challenged folks who want a web business…
Don’t quit your day job just yet… But DO get to work growing your own business in your spare time. Yes, you can grow your own business online with less than $15 a week, and I will show you how today.
I know that may sound absurd, especially when businesses in the real world usually cost anywhere from $10,000 – $200,000 to start. I also realize there are many companies out there selling “turnkey web business opportunities” for anywhere from $1,500 – $5,000 and more.
- So where do I get off telling you that you can do it all on less than $15 a week?
Easy, I’m a real cheapo at heart! I got started with next to nothing, and you can too. And believe me, things were much more expensive online when I started out.
Nowadays you can get a great website design program for $0, an FTP program for $0, web hosting for $3, payment processing for pennies, website promotion for $0, and that’s just about everything you need.
In fact, here are the essentials for any web business, including the web’s 10 best no-cost and low-cost solutions available. You’ve probably never heard of some of these solutions, but they are solid, reliable, and dirt-cheap.
- Essential #1: Your Own Website
The first thing you’ll need when starting a business online is a website or a blog. Whether you plan to make money selling your own products and services or selling as an affiliate, you need a “home base” to direct your prospects to.
Cheapo Resources: Here are the top low-cost and no-cost resources for building your own website…
NVU.com – This is one of the best website design programs on the web. With it you can design your entire website. You can start from scratch or use a pre-designed website template. This program rivals programs costing hundreds of dollars.
Cost: $0
EZMinisites.com – A great source for pre-designed website templates. But not just “pretty” templates — these professional templates contain all the sales components of top selling websites. BizWeb eGazette subscribers get 10 free templates…
Cost: $0
50Webs.com – Once you have a site designed, you need a web host. This host gets great reviews from their customers and businesses get quite a list of features for just $3 a month with their start account. If I were on a very tight budget and just starting out, this is the host I would use. (While you can find free business hosting on the web, most include 3rd party ads on your site – a big no-no.)
Cost: $1 per week including domain name
FTP Commander – If you’re going to build a website you need a way to upload the files to your web host. This tool is easy to use and comes with the perfect price tag…
Cost: $0
WordPress.com – If you like to write then you may prefer to go the blog route instead building a website. Using this web-based blog building platform you can get started in less than an hour.
Cost: $0
Blogger.com – Another top-notch blog builder.
Cost: $0
- Essential #2: Growing Your Email List
At your site or blog, your number one priority should be to give something of value away, such as an ebook, so you can collect opt-in email addresses. This will grow a growing pool of prospects that can be contacted regularly.
In order to get started with this task, you need two things… a giveaway such as an ebook you write yourself, or acquire master rights to. And a service that will help you grow and manage your list.
More Cheapo Resources:
OpenOffice.org – With this tool you can create your ebook. This awesome program rivals Microsoft Office, but without the high price tag. Plus, the word processing program called OpenOffice Writer, (looks like Word) has something really neat built in. I call it an instant ebook creator. In a nutshell, you can write content in the word processor then when you’re done, click File, Save As, then save the file as a PDF document. You have an instant ebook! Now that’s a great feature. Especially considering how much you pay for this entire suite of tools…
Cost: $0
Aweber.com – A web-based autoresponder is one of the essentials when trying to make money online. Aweber is the web’s top (at least in my opinion) autoresponder service. With it you can deliver your free ebooks and grow your opt-in email lists. It will also follow-up with prospects automatically and allow you to broadcast to your lists. There are free versions of autoresponders on the web, but this is something important enough to pay for. Especially when you consider how much Aweber costs…
Cost: Less than $5 per week
- Essential #3: Taking Payments
If you’re selling products and services as an affiliate, you can skip this step, as the merchants will handle all customer payments then pay you a commission. But if you plan to sell products or services of your own, then you’ll need a way to take payments. Years ago I’d tell people to get a merchant account for this. But with an average cost of $500 or so, this is really not the best choice for small and home web businesses, at least during the start-up phase. That’s because other options are now mainstream and far cheaper.
Still More Cheapo Resources:
PayPal – Millions of people use this payment solution online now. It is so universally accepted I increased my sales by 20% overnight, simply by adding paypal as an option for my customers. And there’s nothing wrong with having paypal as your only payment option ether. As far as costs go, unlike standard merchant accounts, you don’t pay unless you make sales — that alone makes it a nice fit for new businesses.
Cost $0 setup and per transaction fees
ClickBank – Similar to paypal, this site lets you accept credit card payments for your goods — as long as they are digital, such as ebooks and other downloadable products. Clickbank has an added advantage though — they have a network of more than 100,000 affiliates you can tap into instantly. They charge more per transaction than paypal, but their vast network of affiliates can more than offset the extra costs.
Cost $0 setup and per transaction fees
Let’s wrap it up for today…
A bit of quick math show us that we’re at about $6 a week. Who says a web business has to be expensive?
