2Best Ways to Make Money on the InternetThere are about a million ways to make money online. Selling t-shirts,dropshipping, Youtube, online courses, etc.Of course I can’t show you ALL the ways of making money on the internet, buthere’s what’s been making ME the most money over the years:1. Freelancing2. Affiliate Marketing3. Selling/ResellingLet me break it down a bit and show you how, where and why.1. FreelancingI’m going to start with freelancing, since it requires no investment and is a fastway of making money online. The money you make from freelancing can be usedto invest in other online money making opportunities we’ll discuss later.Freelancing is by far the fastest way to make your first few dollars online. Itrequires no money to get started and no special skills. Jobs ranging from dataentry to article writing to web design, almost anything you can think of is therefor the taking.I can’t tell you how much money I’ve made when I just started out writing articlesand ebooks for people, but it’s a lot (roughly 600 per ebook of 5k words whichtakes a day or two). Not the most fun job, but if you need money fast, freelancingis the way to go.Once I landed an editing job on a well-known article directory back when articledirectories were still going strong, doing something that took me 4 hours and gotpaid 900. That one job turned out to last almost 5 months.The only reason I’m sharing this is to show you that you CAN make moneyfreelancing even if you don’t have any special skills.

3I was no editor, I also wasn’t much of a writer back then, but as my ratings wentup I started landing more and more clients. Many of which kept paying me formore and more work.The only hard part about freelancing is getting that first job, that first good rating.Once you’ve completed your first job and got a good rating from the client, morepeople will start hiring you.It snowballs, BIG TIME.Here are the best freelancing sites you can join free of charge:1. https://guru.com2. https://upwork.com3. https://freelancer.comSimply sign up, fill out your profile with a nice picture and list your skills, whateverthey might be. Then all that’s left is to start bidding on jobs. It’s that simple.Employers will list their requirements for a particular job, if it’s something you cando you can bid on it and write your proposal (and how much you will charge).If the employer is happy with your bid, he/she will accept your proposal contactyou to start work. Once done and the client is happy, you get paid and you canask them to rate you (if they don’t do it themselves). Boom, done. Copyright 2016 - 2020 Rugoshath.com - All Rights Reserved.

42. Affiliate MarketingAffiliate marketing has been around forever, even before the internet existed.What it is, is simply referring customers to someone else’s products/services andget paid a commission should they take action.This action could be either buying something, signing up for a newsletter ordownloading something. It’s by far the best and easiest way to make money whileyou sleep.The best part about affiliate marketing is that you don’t have to worry aboutcustomer care, you’ve done your job. No complaints, no customers to keephappy, just profits.Now, in order to make affiliate marketing work, you’re going to need a few things:1.2.3.4.5.Website or blogSocial network accountsAffiliate NetworksAutoresponderTrafficNow of course you don’t have to have a website or blog to make it work, a simpleFacebook, Twitter or LinkedIn account by itself could work.However, if you want to maximize your earning potential you’re definitely goingto want a blog or website of your own.It doesn’t need to cost you anything, as there are free options out there forcreating a free blog. The 2 main free ones that are easy to set up are:1. Google Sites (here’s a great step-by-step guide on creating your first site)2. WordpressWordpress is what I’ve been using for all these years, as it gives you moreflexibility to scale your business. It takes a bit longer to get used to as there aremore advanced features as opposed to Google Sites, but either of these 2 optionsare a great starting point to get you up and running.Both Wordpress and Google Sites are 100% free to use, however, the downside tothe free options are that you don’t get to choose your own domain name.

5Instead, you’ll have a “yoursite.wordpress.com” website, instead of a“yoursite.com” or whichever extension you’d prefer to use like .org, .net, .us,.co.uk, etc.If you want your own domain name, I suggest Hostgator, which is the web hostingcompany I’ve used for all these years. Their cloud packages start at roughly 13per month which is very affordable and worth every penny.Having your very own domain name definitely helps with credibility, and in turn,you’ll make more affiliate sales with a custom domain as opposed to ayoursite.wordpress.com or Google sites extension.If you’re looking for a great Wordpress drag n’ drop site builder, check outThriveThemes’ Thrive Architect. I personally use and absolutely love ThriveArchitect for building great pages, and Thrive Leads for generating leads. Worthevery penny if you have a few dollars to invest.Once you have a website, together with your social media accounts like Twitter,Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn and Instagram, all that’s left to do is to startpromoting affiliate products and services and get paid.Affiliate NetworksAn affiliate network is where you’ll get products and services to promote througha unique tracking link. When someone clicks on your unique link, a tracking‘cookie’ is placed on their system, so should they make a purchase or take aspecific action, you’ll get paid.We also have an affiliate program where we currently pay anything up to 591per sale. We also pay recurring commissions on all our monthly services, soshould you refer 1 client through your unique tracking link, you’ll get paid acommission each and every month as long as that person remains a client.Recurring commissions is the way to go when it comes to affiliate marketing, thatis true “making money while you sleep” at its best.

6Here are some other affiliate programs you can join free of ://cj.comAmazon is another popular affiliate platform, but know that they pay pennies, sonot worth your time in my opinion.Once you’ve found an affiliate offer you’d like to promote, all that’s left to do is towrite a short article about it. Reviews work great, as well as lists comparing similarproducts with one another.Think about reviews you’ve read online recently. What do they say, what do theylook like? Simply tell a reader what they’re getting, most of the time everythingyou need for your article is on that product/service’s sales page, so it’s just amatter of re-writing and adding a few words. It doesn’t need to be complicated.Get your unique tracking link and add it to your article. This could be either abanner, or a simple text link, like the ones in this guide.When a user reads your article, clicks on that link and buys something, you profit.Simple.You can also use your tracking links to refer friends via email or on your socialnetwork accounts like Facebook. The internet is yours for the taking as long asyou don’t spam anyone.AutorespondersAn autoresponder is something that will make you more money over the yearsthan you could possibly imagine. It’s where someone who visits your website cansubscribe to your newsletter by submitting their name and email address.This allows you to market to them over and over again. You see it all over theinternet, those popups offering free ebooks, courses or helpful newsletters in Copyright 2016 - 2020 Rugoshath.com - All Rights Reserved.

7exchange for your email address. That’s an autoresponder, a very profitable wayof making money online.The one I use and recommend is GetResponse, coupled with Thrive Leads you’llbuild a list of hungry buyers that will buy from you over and over again.GetResponse also have a great free 90-day list building course you’ll get instantaccess to, showing you the ins-and-outs of how autoresponders work and how itcan help build a profitable email list of your own.All you need to make it work, is to give away something for free your readerscan’t say no to in exchange for an email address. It can be a short 2-page ebook, achecklist, recipes, patterns, how-to, demo, trial, etc.You can even give away THIS GUIDE to build your list, as long as you don’t editanything and keep the name and format as is.Simple as that. Use GetResponse or Thrive Leads to build an appealing form to fillout, and BAM, your leads will start flowing in. With Thrive Leads you can also splittest different designs or copy for best results. I split test everything, so should youif you want to maximize your profits.TrafficOnce you have your affiliate offer and your lead magnet (autoresponder) ready,the only thing that’s left to do is to get as many eyes on it as possible.You need traffic. Good, targeted traffic. Without traffic there will be no sales.There are many ways of generating traffic for free, one of them is via socialnetworks like Facebook and Twitter. Join groups, take part in discussions, andrecommend your affiliate article when you see an opportunity.Other great ways of generating traffic are: Forums YouTube Google Copyright 2016 - 2020 Rugoshath.com - All Rights Reserved.
