Making Money on the Web Does not Have to Be Difficult

If you've been searching for ways of making money on the web, you're likely to find it after you've claimed it's super easy and you just have to buy their expensive $ 97 eBook they'll let you in on their exclusive secrets.

The truth is that while it's not that difficult to make money online, you really need to make some first steps to make your first dollar.

And sadly even most $ 97 eBooks are not going to help you unless you know a little about internet marketing and how to get traffic first. (That's not to say that every eBook out there is worthless, just that you'll need to experience and get your hands on any of their 'secrets'.

So let's get back to basics and find out how to make some money online.

First of all you need something to sell. That might be your own product, or it could be someone else's that you would like to pay and earn a commission. Let's pretend for the rest of this article that you have decided to be an affiliate marketer and promote other people's products.

Whether you choose to promote physical products from Amazon or eBay or information products from ClickBank or PayDotCom, the main principles apply. You need to get in the head of a potential customer and find out how to solve their problems.

It's a lot easier if you find a problem first and then solve it with a product rather than the other way around. Most new affiliate marketers choose the product first and then try to convince a customer to buy, but unless you are experienced at marketing this can often fail. So problem first, and then product.

Next you need to find out more about the problem and how the product you've chosen solves that. You could even give the customer a choice where you earn a commission no matter what product they choose. That website could be your own, or a blog or webpage online. It does not really matter.

Finally, you need to get to that page. The more traffic that you can get to your page, the more likely you will be able to make a sale and earn yourself some cash. There are many ways to get paid for it (by clicking on it) or using free methods such as writing articles (yes, this article is going to send me traffic to the links that I include at the bottom of this page).

If you want to know the most important factor in making money on the web then it would be getting to your page. If you do nothing else, try and spend the majority of your time online.
