Make money online with Will
Learn the tips and tricks required to make money online!

Today we will talk about a way to market your blog, website, ebay page and more! This method I like to call the set and forget youtube strategy, It’s a very basic idea that many people use to market with, The idea goes like this, Find or make a video that you think will be popular. Post this video on youtube and have a few friends give it a 5 star rating and comment, try and spread the word. Now the part that get’s your site some exposure is, You edit a scene or two with a link to your blog as a watermark on the bottom and or add it in the description, when people like the video they might be interested in what else you have on your site, usually they follow the link which leads to extra traffic. This isn’t the best marketing strategy out but it doesn’t cost and it’s pretty effective.
Give it a go you might be surprised on how effective it is.

Many people instantly think that if there is a way to make money online that it is right for them,Wrong! You have to know if you can handle what is required to make money online. Today I will be telling you the requirements that must be put into place to be successful online and if they are right for you!
First off you must ask yourself, How much time can I put weekly towards my online endeavor, If you answered under 7 hours then it’s not right for you. Making money online is like caring for a child, You must give to get something out, you must do things correctly or you will get nowhere.
Another thing I tell people to ask themselves is, Am I enjoying what I am trying to do or is it like a requirement. You really will do much better if you try to think of it as a hobby rather than a chore. I just wanted to write this up for all of you just so you don’t jump right into my strategies to only fall flat on your face and fail. Just think about if your willing to put in the time and effort required.

Many people wonder how to start opening the door to an online cash flow, Today I will share with you another method that you can use with an initial investment of about $20 or so. The first thing your going to want to do is figure out something to make a website around, think of something that will draw people in. Some ideas include, movie reviews, game reviews, sports chat. Whatever you think might work, Now the next step would be to open a website around this idea, I use www.godaddy.com for my web hosting and domain names whenever I make a website. If your not sure on how to start creating a layout visit a site like this, http://www.freewebsitetemplates.com/, You can find a layout that suits your needs and go from there. Once you get a solid layout work on making good information for your website, if it’s about reviews make solid reviews about current hot films or the new hot games, This part should be self-explanatory, just make something to capture an audience to want to visit your site. Once you have everything sorted out with your website start to market, optimize your web page with keywords so search engines will pick it up more easily. Once your site is optimized the traffic should come to your site if the content is good. And last but not least sign up for a service like google adsense, You host ad’s on your website and receive a check monthly, How much you make will depend on how much time you put in, Just keep at it and don’t give up.

Today we will talk about goals for you as an online entrepreneur, We tend to expect too much from ourselves in such a short time. A problem is making realistic goals, we figure if we don’t make that first sale or don’t get the amount of traffic we hoped and expected for we tend to think that our idea is a failure, This is where most people end up just giving up and continue to see others make money online while they cannot. But a solution to this problem is learn from the mistakes we have made, Did you not sell your product?, Think of ways to optimize your presentation, be creative, show how your item or your information can benefit others or make their lives easier or more fun. If you keep our goals at an attainable level you can make the sale, you can get the amount of traffic you need.
After you create a goal for yourself think about what people want to buy or what people need to know, For instance if you open a website in hopes of selling a product or procuring lots of traffic work on a color scheme that it pleasing to the eyes, Something that will make the visitor take time while looking at your product or web page.
Another big thing if you own a website or try to sell products on ebay is marketing! Find your optimal audience, who would be intrested in what you have to offer, once you come up with an answer think of ways to make it happen, Post on websites where your audience would visit. A golden rule is DON’T SPAM! Spam is a good way to make a negative image of what you have to offer. Overall just don’t get discouraged by a failure or two, Many of the greatest men and women who ever lived have failed many times.

After moving on from the world of surveys I decided to try out a venture called Drop Shipping. Drop shipping is another appealing strategy, Basically the whole idea of drop shipping is to find an item from a wholesaler that you think will sell , list the item on a popular auction site like Ebay for a higher price to make a decent profit, Wait till someone purchases the item you listed and then buy the product from your supplier , in turn the supplier ships the item to the customer and the deal is complete.
I know it sounds like a large chain of events to sell one item but it is actually very efficient. The reason this is a good way to sell products is because, You have no inventory to keep, you don’t end up with unsold items in stock and you don’t have to personally ship the item to the customer. The bad aspects of this can be, The product not working for the customer. I have encountered this problem, The customer will contact you back expecting a refund but the problem is, You no longer have the full amount except for the profit, This can pose a scary problem, You must pay the customer back the full amount of the purchase which means it will be out of your pocket.
Aside from the bad aspect one of the problems presented is, finding a trustworthy wholesaler who sells at a decent price. Many wholesalers are located in Asia so this provides for a cheaper price to you so that means more profit! Some wholesalers I have run across are Chinavasion.com, I have worked with them and had a satisfactory outcome so far aside from the problem mentioned earlier. Some other wholesalers you might want google are, DHgate and directwholesaleproducts.com. I have not personally used them but they are located in north america which is a major plus.
Wholesale might not be your thing but that’s fine. I will continue to update with different way to make money while minimizing your investment and even having no starting investment at all.

Have you ever heard of those survey websites that tell you that you can make money online by filing out quick surveys and in turn you will get a large payment for your time? Sounds appealing right? Little work and big rewards.
Well, When I first began my pursuit of online success I decided to try them out, They all looked so appealing I could not pass them up! My first trial was with a survey site called “Treasure Trooper”.
On Treasure Trooper I did many surveys and completed many offers. I figured it might be my ticket to making some good money. I tirelessly did surveys to try to make money but the payout was so little, only about 50 cents to 1.00, I was satisfied with the site overall but it just wasn’t what I was looking for.
The problem with a lot of the survey sites, not singling out Treasure Trooper in particular, but most of what they do is Collect your email address and personal information and sell that information to marketing firms.
Overall this leads to a lot of junk mail and telemarketing calls. The $20 dollar’s or so is not worth all the hassle and work that is required to fill them out.
After dealing with all of this, I wanted to find a new way to make money, a way to make money online but not have to put such a huge amount of work in for such a little payout, So my search continued.
