3 Original Online Ways To Profit

1: Podcasting
This is a way to make money online is by hosting an online podcast.You can host a podcast and have it go along with your blog. You can use that platform to find new sponsors and advertisers all the time.
This simply means you can monetize your podcast also. However, there are tons of people making a lot from their podcasts. 

To the Entrepreneur, the key to getting ahead with podcasting just like blogging is finding your niche, growing an audience, and then finding ways to monetize and connect with sponsors. This may not be or isn’t the easiest way to make money online since there are a lot of logistics that go into writing, recording, and editing a podcast, but it is still worth considering.

2:Affiliate Marketing
One of the secrets to affiliate marketing is to stick at it until you have good results, like my sales page here https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/stayjid2000. Learn from your lack of proper results, but continue learning and never stop. Many strategies are flawed in the first instance, you may be expecting an easy win. I suspect many people come into affiliate marketing expecting the same. 

Over time you will slowly realize the time and effort needed to make affiliate marketing work. I learned that, just because I wrote an article, it wasn't necessarily going to be seen by millions of people! In fact, some articles were never even seen. Many don't know how to promote them and get them seen. 

They just expected everyone to come, because, well, they think it is special and it was just going to work! How naive! One of the 'secrets' of affiliate marketing is building a subscribers or engagement list by subscription mail or even social media  average or large followings. This gives the best results, once there is a list of subscribers and promoted a quality and effective product with paid advertising. This is probably the quickest way to see results in affiliate marketing. 

Content building takes time and there's no guarantee your content will ever get a large enough audience to start selling anything. Building a list is vital for anyone who wants to build a real business from affiliate marketing. Without one, you're relying on your website visitors buying from you after they land on your website. This only gives them a few minutes to make a buying decision. Get them on an email list and you can extend this period of time to months and even years ahead. Plus you can build a relationship with your subscribers by offering them value, insight and information which may be of use to them.

3. Paid advertising is another 'secret' of  bloggers and affiliate marketers. I avoided paid strategies for some time,  and use marketing strategies like article writing, Social media, Forums and Video creation. It takes much longer to get traffic if you focus on ONLY organic strategies. Paid traffic is instant, but again, takes time to learn, know how to do it right without spamming and then master it. The other 'secret' to using paid traffic is in choosing the right products to promote. 

This again is something many do not understand. Having products which continue to pay out, even after your initial sale is a major key to making affiliate marketing work for you. Some products only pay once. Top affiliates choose bigger items to promote for better commissions and they choose memberships to sell so they can earn continuous commissions every month. 

A subscription product which pays you a small amount every month is worth far more than a single product which only pays you once. For each customer, you can earn a residual income, potentially for a lifetime. 100 customers becomes a real income because of the continuous commissions you receive each month of their membership. Up-sells are another affiliate marketing 'secret' too. 

An up-sell, is basically a product which is sold to a customer after they have already bought from you. If you've even been to a fast food franchise you'll know they always offer up an up-sell. "Do you want fries with that?" is an up-sell."Would you like to supersize?" is an up-sell. By offering many products to existing customers you can earn far more than by only selling one product. An existing customer is far more likely to purchase from you because they have already paid for something. 

Top affiliates know the power of the up-sell and benefit from more commissions made from each customer. Repeat custom is a major factor in most businesses so it should also factor in your marketing business too. Here's a final marketing secret. Most affiliates starting out will concentrate on getting someone to their website in order to turn them into a subscriber. They will spend a lot of time working on their website visitors number. But there's two factors in turning a visitor into a subscriber. 

The number of people visiting your website is one factor. The opt-in rate is another. You can get many more visitors converting into subscribers just by altering your opt-in offer. Cross testing various opt-in offers and in particular, making a clear call to action with a benefit driven 'giveaway' offer is the best way to measure this. So don't focus entirely on building traffic, because you can make more progress by creating an enticing giveaway offer to build your email list. Have a wonderful day.

5 Present And Continuous Online Income Ways

#1: Freelance work and Content creation: If you have writing skills and creative drama talent for write ups or videos, it’s always possible to get paid to create good unique and useful online content. I don’t do this much apart from publishing which is great for income also, but I am very aware of how viable this income stream is especially on Social platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Youtube, by creating content for these websites. 

If you have writing skills and creative talent, it’s also possible to get paid to create online content. You can combine it with a full-time job, but also create content online part-time to supplement or complement your income. 

Over time, you will be able to double and triple your rates until you could quit a low paid and stressful full-time job, maybe. These days, as a freelance worker and teaching others to do the same via online courses can be a key to making good income.  

The first important thing as a freelancer is figuring out a niche, networking with people who might hire you, and delivering high quality content 80 to 100 percent of the time for al the work you do. 

While there are a ton of writing job boards to help get started, it’s fairly easy to find starter jobs on websites like Fiverr and Upwork or content creation on Youtube.

#2: Book Sales Online
While the publishing industry used to be heavy in print, you can complete the entire process of writing, publishing, and marketing a book online these days. 

Websites like Create Space an Amazon company will let you upload and take your book to print without getting a formal publisher involved, and you can even get your book on Amazon so people can buy it there and the build a thriving book publishing business. 

Many have written several books that has been published online to create an ongoing source of passive income. Some average sales are up to about 300 books sold per month to bring in an average revenue amount. 

Not bad, huh? If you think you could write a book people would want to buy, this is a smart strategy to consider since the start-up costs can be minimal and you probably already have a computer and word processing software, All the best.


#3: Webinars
Need more ideas? Another strategy is using webinars to market your product, service, or course. Some do webinars to promote their practices or work and to drum up interest. With a webinar, you’re basically offering a lot of tips and advice for free usually in a live format. 

At the end though, you pitch your paid product or service with the goal of possibly securing a few deals. Professional speakers uses webinars to market his courses on public speaking, including Get Booked and Paid to Speak. 


While you offer plenty of free tips during a webinar, you can simply offer course at the end for people who want to pay to learn more. And, a lot of times, his sales pitch works. No matter what you’re selling, it’s not that hard to set up a webinar and attract people to sign up with a lead magnet or Facebook ads. You can probably find a free webinar on how to create your first webinar if you check online.


#4: Lead Sales
Another way to make money online is by collecting leads. The main steps you need to complete to make lead sales work include setting up a website, getting traffic to that website, and making sure you’re collecting leads that someone will actually pay for. 

Here’s a good example of how lead sales can work in real life: A forum like Apsense or Nairaland website brings in a ton of traffic from people who are searching the web to find answers to various questions.  

The forum website was set up so people could interact, sell items, share knowledge, Advertise and so on, it was a lot of work to process all the different requests and clients. As a result, I started selling the leads I gathered instead. Basically, lead buyers are willing to pay for the personal information I gather from people who visit my website. 

This is a win-win for everyone since I get paid for the leads and my website visitors are connected with someone who can help them. Keep in mind though, you can sell leads in many different industries. Really, you just need to figure out a niche, build a blog or website and great traffic, then see how much you can get for the leads you collect.

#5: Online Courses
If you have any skill you can teach others, it’s also possible to set up an online course you can market online. You can find online courses that teach anything from cooking to marketing or even freelance writing. 

Some offer courses for people who want to take their businesses online. Offers several different courses, including courses on a writing software. 

Over the years, people have earned more annually selling courses that help people achieve the kind of success they also earned. Many people set up their online courses through platforms like Teachable.com and many more. 

With Teachable, you can upload your course materials and use the platform to manage customers and accept payments which is great and way to go. Have a wonderful day.

The Importance Of Using Resource Box In Articles

Don't forget to include a link back to your own site inside the “Resource Box” that is placed directly at the end of the article which I'll be explaining to you in just a few moments. 

You can also include a link from your name in the “written by: Your Name” area that goes right to your web site too. Don't be afraid to use all the available advertising space you can from within your articles. The more you use, the better chance you have of getting that traffic to your web site. 

One crucial element: There is one thing you must include with every article you release, and that is: a byline. Go take a quick peek at any of the articles at ezine articles.com and you'll see each author's byline at the bottom of the page. You'll sometimes hear people refer to the byline as a “resource box”.

They're both the same thing, but I think the phrase “resource box” describes the content with more accuracy. Your resource box contains a very brief summary of your business history and areas of expertise, along with related resources like a link to your site or your autoresponder address. 
 
This resource box is your ace card. You grant other web publishers the right to reprint and distribute your article at will on the condition that your resource box remains intact and unchanged.  So, your link travels with your article everywhere it goes. 
 
Here is a quick example of a good resource box:

Remember, the above is just an example.
You should write your “Resource Box” up as if you were writing it about someone else and not yourself. As in the third person perspective.

One last thing to really be sure your articles get placed inside the directories you submit them to is to write up your own original articles. The only limitation to using articles as promotional tools is how many topics you can dream up.
 
If you're prolific, you can write an article to suit most every need be it pre-selling your product, building your credibility, or even promoting an affiliate product.

10 Steps To Capture An Opportunity, Then Succeed At It (Updated)

 

1. First you need to Study and Learn everything you can. Start by getting good updates or Subscriptions. It’s designed to give an overview of what’s going on on-line. It’s built to draw you a picture of what is possible. It will help lead anyone to their Opportunity. 

The minute someone takes the will to subscribe to good updates will save them hundreds of hours bumping around the internet trying to sift through all the information online. I’ve done alot of it for you here; I’ve spent hours online seeking opportunities and Learning.

2. Invest in good materials related to what you are interested in. I have many good materials that I suggest threaded throughout my updates here and on social media especially twitter. Many of these will refine your skills and build your knowledge beyond what you’ll find out there.

3. Figure out how to find stuff. Search around the internet using the Search Engines. Type in a keyword for anything you want to know about (i.e., Google.com, Bing.com, Duckduckgo, Yahoo.com).

4. There are a lot of good e-Books out there as well. Some you’ll find at my e-Book store. A few are free! Again find some that are related to your goals. But, be careful. Don’t buy into people selling huge packages of e-Books for pennies. Most of these are a waste of your time. They’ll contain old information, broken & corrupt files, and many are just advertisements in disguise.

5. Sign up for some forums related to your business and marketing strategies. Some to consider that I hang around are: https://www.nairaland.com/ayojideonline, https://www.apsense.com/user/ayojideonline 

6. I also suggest creating a business plan. Think everything through.

7. Dive In! Once you’ve weighed your risk, Just Go For It. You need to decide what you can risk to pursue this. It is just like any business you might start. You need to have a contingency plan, an exit strategy, and Money & Time to lose. Nothing is guaranteed online, Life is a risk.

8. Be wary of people trying to sell you an opportunity with a good sales pitch. Watch out for what they’re trying to sell you. You need to understand that not every opportunity is YOUR opportunity. There might be many successful people doing well in something, but it may not be for you. It depends on your talents, education, interest and goals.

9. Dig in! No matter what you read elsewhere, understand that this may not happen overnight for you. The people that are very successful have been doing things for a long time. 

The reason they are successful is because they out lasted their competition. Think of this as a long term business effort. That’s not to say you can’t make money right away, but don’t expect to get rich in the next few months… it can happen! But it’s rare.

10. Have Fun!! You know what? This is true. You need to enjoy what you are doing. Find your passion. Find something you’re interested in. Then specialize in that area. Focus you’re energy. If you love cats. Sell cat stuff. Build a website about cats. Start a cat forum. 

Become an online so called guru in what you do. So the bottom line is, you can find success online. But it will be work. No ones going to deliver you an automatic cash machine to make millions of dollars. Well they might offer you one in online advertisements, but they won’t deliver. 

If you followed these guidelines, you will stand a better chance of succeeding online. Finally in  brief, things to note: Find your Niche. Become an expert. Create a better product or service than your competition. And stick with it. Failure is not an option! All the Very Best.
