Stay Poor! Why you are not Making Money Online – How To Get Rich 2012!
Stay poor!
Who wants to get rich online anyway? Like you really love your day job, right? Er, wrong! Lead me to the money! Money solves all your problems fast. Well it finances the illusion, anyway, right?
Why you are not making any money online.
You know the answer – either you’re not doing anything or you’re doing the wrong thing. Or you are doing the right thing wrong. Or you are doing too little of too many things. Or you just don’t know how. Or you did before and now you’re not (I know, Ebay banned me, too)! Or perhaps it is all a scam?
So the first reason is because you MUST adjust your Success Mindset!
You are not making any money online either because you are not applying the right system or you are not persisting in developing one money making system. Creating ebooks and selling them is a system. Giving ebooks away for free which contain a link to your membership website is a system. Selling retro goods on auction sites is a system. Selling books on Amazon or Abe-Books or selling your designer items on Etsy is a system.
Promoting casino websites through banner ads on a portal website is a system. Affiliate marketing endorsing internet tools to your email marketing list or recommending web hosting on your blog – these are systems to make you money online.
So what’s YOUR System?
The biggest online earners start out in a small way learning the ropes through auction sales and starting their own blog with social bookmarking and list building, then they develop a network of JV (joint venture) partners and gradually they create their own products to promote online, usually with a built in affiliate opportunity. See how to become a vendor at Clickbank. This website allows you to accept online payment and even handles the payments to your affiliates for you, paying you one lump sum every two weeks. It can’t get much easier! The products are downloadable!
The next step is to provide great incentives to your affiliates to encourage sales, and to build a strong network of your own super affiliates and JV partners to promote for you 24/7. Develop a sales funnel which constantly passes your purchasers along a conveyor belt of further purchasing (such as enticing them into your membership program where they pay a monthly subscription to belong and access your website material – Clickbank can handle this for you as well, but you will also need Amember and software to host materials on your private membersonly password locked site).
You need to create value online – you won’t get rich flogging the same tired products every guy is passing along to his list. Step back and consider what you know which will sell online. Or team up with an expert to develop a membership site. Interview pro golfers on video and make a monthly “Video of the Month” membership site around this. Provide new value. Let other people become YOUR affiliates!
How To Get Rich Online in 2012!
So if you have just read the above you will see that in order to get rich in 2012 you will need to go one step further and DEVELOP YOUR OWN MONEY MAKING SYSTEM online!
Just having a blog and a list no longer cuts edge. No! Because everyone and his dog is doing that – think about it, when did YOU last read a marketing email, never mind actually buy the endorsed product? That sucks!
Who cares!
Get together with some guys online who have access to buyers’ lists in a niche and develop a sales funnel including a monthly paid subscription membership site especially targeted to a niche market of proven buyers.
When YOU create the hot product YOU control the bank balance. Guess you want to control your huge bank balance, right? And by having your own affiliate program to promote your product YOU keep everyone happy from the buyers to the sellers because you are enhancing everyone’s life online and creating new value.
============================
WHEN YOU CREATE NEW VALUE IN A NICHE THE MARKET WILL REWARD YOU!
============================
How to get rich online in 2012? Memorize that statement and make it your business strategy – your own mission statement! Sell the market what the market wants and you will get rich. Period. Easy. Now do it!
Tips: How To Start Making Money Build An Online Internet Marketing Business
So many people confuse Internet Marketing with Making Money. Marketing is the process of promoting a business which has products or services to sell to a buying market. Internet marketing simply means using online promotion to find buyers. However, you have to have a proper business in place to begin marketing! You have to have something to sell which people want and will buy. Do you?
If you can sell the products or services your business offers (if you have a business) without using the internet then you will making money without using internet marketing at all. But you’ll still be marketing those goods. Part of marketing is advertising. It’s really all about telling buyers what you have to offer them. The difficulty always lies in figuring out where the buyers hang out.
In the past newspapers, magazines and directories were the popular choice of many businesses but how can you really pinpoint your target market (the people who will be interested in buying your goods)? How do you know who reads those publications? You don’t. The safest assumption is that special interest magazines will be read by people with that interest.
Gardeners may read gardening magazines. But you don’t really know what they will want to buy, if anything at all.
Now businesses are turning to social networking sites Yahoo, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Ning to promote their goods. But do the people networking on those sites readily part with cash? I doubt it!
To market your business you must promote to the buyers!
Not only must you find them, you must find them in buying mode! That has always been the challenge of marketing any business! And if your marketing is unsuccessful you will make no sales and therefore have no business!
Find people who buy. What do they buy? Sell them more, or an improved version, or the same with a free gift or better customer service.
Are you aware that there are many many things to consider in running a business? It’s true! Selling items on an auction site is easiest because you have already located the buyers and know what they want to buy. But the site will extract a heavy fee for providing you with this service.
Or you could write a themed blog with a subscribers’ list and endorse products that pay you a sales commission, being a middleman. But who will read your blog? Not many people with credit cards!
Get rich in 2012 by researching niche markets such as weightloss or golf which are popular and already have a number of key sellers. Network with these sellers to develop a new exciting product and enjoy a steady stream of affiliate sales.
Video course training memberships will always be an excellent system to make money online because people always want to learn new things and brush up old skills. You don’t even need to offer a website – you could simply email downloadable materials each week or month to your members. Or you could mail them all the materials.
Start thinking about developing a real training product yourself, a “How To” product, and you are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel! You’ll be in business for yourself! But be sure you have a buyers’ market to target before you go to the time and expense of creating a product!
Link up with sellers who have big lists of buyers, or who get heavy daily traffic to their niche website. Consider selling offline or advertising in magazines with a link to your website.
The people who really make money think outside every box! See the bigger picture – find out what other successful sellers are doing. Network. Go where the money is. Assume nothing. Connect!
Fed up being broke and earning pennies?
Think like an entrepreneur!
Find some buyers. Lots of buyers. Women aged 30-50 who want to lose weight, or men aged 20-30 who want to gain muscle mass, for instance. Find out what they are looking to buy. Develop a great product. Be generous – add lots of value and fantastic customer service. Do a good job and you’ll get rich.
If you don’t get rich, it’s not the system, or the people: it’s you! Approach the business from a new angle: when YOU buy something what do you like to receive? Think about selling as if you were the buyer and you will make money in 2012 and way beyond!
Conclusion!
Some people lose money playing the lottery in a vague wish to get rich; others deny all possibility of getting rich, believing it to be an impossible dream. In fact, with a good idea, a working business system, careful research, patient building of networking JV partners and suppliers, great customer service, attention to detail, good financial sense and the expectation of success, YOU can get started on a business project right now, determine to take the actions necessary to market your product to your target market at a fair price, and enjoy success!
Develop a sales funnel where you sell more to your existing customers and an affiliate program where your customers recommend new buyers for a commission. Be generous at all stages: at least 50% affiliate commission, great customer service and lots of extra value for the price you ask.
You don’t have to be fantastic – average is a good place to begin!
Get stuck in and create a product YOU can market online and feel passionate about – believe in your product and watch it sell! A good product may not sell itself but buyers will recommend it. In time sales will build. Persevere and always be alert to how else you can serve your customers. What “Add On” products could they also buy?
So my challenge to YOU in 2012 is this: don’t be satisfied with pennies – go the extra mileage to research a niche market, make contact with sellers, develop a good product and roll out your marketing. Allow plenty of margins and keep going! Be a product developer, not just a middleman.
Stop expecting something for nothing. You don’t look round the store to see if someone has dropped a dollar bill! Do your research, think what you yourself would buy, and spend some money to develop your first product well. It’s a great learning curve, and a very lucrative pursuit.
Here’s all the best to your business endeavours this year! Expect every success!
First up I’d like to wish all my blog readers a very prosperous 2012 and I’d like to point you to the above link where I have been writing Power Tips for Super Success to get you in the right frame of mind for earning plenty of extra income this year!
So can you make money, affiliate cash, working online from home in 2012?
Is it all a scam or just big business for the big marketers, or is there really opportunity online to make money?
There’s plenty of hype on the internet and many people who would like to earn an honest extra income working from home either get lost in the clutter or buy a “Make Money Fast” system and end up getting badly ripped off which leads them to give up.
I tried many home business opportunities before the internet rolled around, and I don’t recall making any money from any of the bright ideas and business systems I bought into, least of all anything to do with gambling! I lost £1000′s of much needed money over several years but for some weird reason I was hooked! It all started again as I discovered internet marketing and you may well have found out how time consuming and money sapping it can be to learn all you want to know!
And yet I have always been self employed and earned all my money by my own efforts without a boss or a job! Point is, I make real good money offering a service business based along the things I love, offline! I teach and perform and write and even conduct music from classical to jazz and pop, and I have a small business tiling kitchen and bathroom walls and floors. And anyone could learn to teach something as a private tutor, or do repairs for some extra money. Easy.
I make a good living offering these services in the real world. And if you want extra income working from home in 2012 then you will make more offering these sort of services in your locality than buying into the latest internet marketing systems! Fact. You see, we can all make money, and there is plenty of money everywhere for the asking, but we tend to get hooked on the idea of a push button do nothing system that will work like an ATM in our living room.
Ain’t gonna happen! You must wise up! You can make some extra pennies with a review blog just like this one, suggesting marketing tools that bloggers will want to use: I have added some banners down the sidebar of this blog highlighting the actual tools I use and recommend. I make some affiliate cash when people visit the site and purchase the tools to use on their own blog. Cool! You can do this too!
You can slowly build an autoresponder list of blog readers so you can highlight new offers and supply useful tips and quips for fast autoresponder cash!
You need to view the whole system of blogging and building a list as a business and it helps you to understand that business is about investing constantly to build growth and value for the long term – it certainly isn’t about making money fast. In fact, most businesses only really make money for their developers when the business is sold on, and sadly, few people understand this concept, so most business owners slog away year after year trying to pull pennies from an ailing system!
If you seriously want some fast cash then join Ebay and sell all the stuff you no longer need and sell your friends’ stuff on commission for them. Even this takes about a month to turn around, from listing the items to receiving payment, to paying Ebay’s fees. Not very fast! If I want some fast cash (which I never do because I plan ahead and budget wisely) then I go play the sax in the street and make a swift tenner.
But you’ve got to have a pretty disorganized life to suddenly need a swift tenner! Making money in the long term is more about curtailing the your spending habits than getting fast cash. If we could make fast cash no one would go to work would they?
The best thing of all is to get yourself a couple of interesting hobbies that cost you almost nothing because whilst you are absorbed with these, you won’t be thinking about spending and you won’t need to be making fast cash! Sure, we all want to improve our life and live in a better house, but it’s the long term projects that bring in real wealth. You’d use a lot of dollars and dimes if you thought you could earn $1000′s in fast cash. Actual cash is a nightmare!
What you really want to aim for is to develop a nice income stream from some work you do once and it pays you over and over. Blogging and list building are a real pain! So forget the gimmicks in 2012.
What to do to make money working online from home in 2012 (really works)
If you want a real income stream working online from home and making good consistent money then get George Brown’s Google Sniper 2 program. It is simply the best (I’ve tried everything else) out there and the system contains EVERYTHING, every scrap of information you will need to build a real internet marketing income well into the future, hands off! Heck, it’s almost like having an ATM in your living room!

My point here is really two edged – it’s no good chasing big web visitor volume if you haven’t got a really solid sales funnel in place. That might be simply sending people to your optin squeeze page and then back to your blog if you are an affiliate marketer, or it may be either to your squeeze page or to a sales page if you develop your own products.
The subscribers on your list are your prospects but once a person buys one of your products they go onto your buyers’ list. The folk who belong to your free membership sites are a special in between breed: you can easily build a strong relationship with these people so they recommend you, become your affiliates, and buy from you in the future. Even if they never buy, they may send some good business your way via their contacts.
You must have big picture vision to successfully develop your marketing online. It’s like you encourage a web visitor to click on your links, opt in to your email list and cycle them around your content so they build a more three dimensional picture of who you are, what you do, and what you offer.
Remember, the most valuable information you have is that which you give away for free because that brings readers back to you over time!
So be willing to share some of your most excellent secret tips and tricks for free because this is the bread you cast upon the waters and after many days it returns to you – at a profit.
1. Make sure you have a purpose for your targeted traffic – to read, to opt in, to recommend, to buy. Have a follow up funnel in place too.
2. Now you have a specific purpose for your visitors you can really focus your tunnel vision on what exactly your target is so you maximize your success.
Say you create a blog about good backlinking strategies for SEO rankings and you have a product which is a membership to monthly SEO training videos? You want to target people who have a blog or website which they want to promote and achieve high Google rankings for certain keywords. This enables you to focus in on the exact people you are targeting so your free website traffic becomes absolutely laser focused!
Find a hungry market. Develop a product they will give their back teeth for (or promote someone’s product as an affiliate) – now discover what keywords they are searching, what blogs they are reading, what forums they participate in, what magazines they buy: put together as accurate a picture as you can about your target market.
You want to find people who seriously want to solve a problem or have a deep interest in something. They are proven buyers. Go sell them! The soft sell approach where you offer some great free solutions and invite them into your funnel via your blog or optin page.
You have to offer a lot of great free material first to win credibility. Not many people arrive cold at a sales page and whip out their credit card – like no one! It’s the old advertising mantra – a person must see your message seven times before they enquire.
Pelmanism was a course by mail advertised and sold for over 100 years! A reader would respond to the advert in the national press, writing to ask for more information, and in return they would receive a valuable free booklet and be added to the company’s mailing list. They gave before they sold.
Marketing is so much easier online thanks to email and Aweber!
There’s a lot of competition out there online for whatever you are offering – slice through this by being clearly the most knowledgeable and generous!
Be a dude, be a friend, be a trusted advisor. Do what it takes, team up with your best competitors, offer consistent great value, solve genuine problems, see what else you can provide.
Going the extra mile works so well quite a lot of marketers have coined the idea! So go an extra mile or two beyond that! Get in there, stay in there, persist and win!

Do people get what they deserve in Life? Do rewards follow results? What do you think?
What results will your actions bring? Will you get a good reward?
How can we define what a person really deserves? There’s no manual which says if you do a particular thing that you will get a particular result or reward. Nothing seems entirely certain – even if you stand out in the rain for three hours you may or may not get a cold or muscular pain: even a result for an action like this has no certainty.
When I read that a British Prime Minister caught a cold which swiftly led to his death through standing in the rain at a coronation I decided to avoid a similar fate by simply never standing in the rain. Yet some years later I stood outside in a full downpour awaiting entry to the O2 stadium at Greenwich in London. I didn’t suffer any ill effects at all. Admittedly I had the good sense to be carrying an umbrella and wearing a rain jacket!
A slightly different slant is to ask the question “Do people get what they imagine they deserve in Life?” I guess the answer to that is NO, since I hear so many people grumbling about the results they achieve, and also moaning that someone who hurt them wasn’t punished. Why do you imagine this anyway?
Do rewards follow results? Every action has a reaction – every cause has an effect, but do these follow suit? No! Sometimes you will achieve one result and sometimes another. Perhaps that is what makes Life so exciting! It’s hard to be bored when you cannot be quite sure what reward you will receive for a result, nor what result you will get for an action! But how can we get good results more often than bad?
Can we be sure of unpredictability – I think so! So it makes sense to focus our efforts on creating results we can be relatively sure of! If you test an email list by sending out a message endorsing an excellent product and you receive a result of 1% of the people on the list making a purchase then you can either roll out the same message to more people on the same list or you can tweak the message to see if you can achieve a 2% purchase rate. But given this 1% result you can’t be certain of achieving the same result with another list.
Even with your result of 1% purchases you need to monitor the reward of that result – if 100% of the 1% ordering then go onto seek a refund you haven’t achieved a good reward for the good result! Look before you leap – carefully weigh the odds before taking any action in Life! Test things out before rolling out a mass marketing effort.
These days selling by mail order is much cheaper to test than when you had to rent a list of addresses of possible buyers and then mailed out sales letters to these people! Now you can send a quick email to prospects for free!
But the essentials of marketing practice has not changed since it is based on human nature. You are unlikely to get a good result mailing or emailing someone else’s list because it takes time and trust to turn people into prospects, then into buyers, and then into raving fans! You need to invite people to try something for free first.
If you have a great product and you give away free samples people will naturally want to know where they can purchase more – so although you may make an initial loss you will build a good buyer list fast. How to get good results? Give before you sell is a sound marketing maxim.
Associate your business with top quality products that solve problems fast and have a lot of feel good factor built in! This is a sound marketing maxim too!
Although we can never be 100% certain of the results we will attain or the rewards we will secure, we can take time to study likely outcomes and calculate the probability of taking action. Gradually over time we become so familiar with the ebb and flow of results for specific actions that we begin to feel intuitively how something will perform.
But be prepared for change and understand that no result will continue forever – no market will sustain forever. We have to constantly test and tweak and be ready to move on to new market opportunities.
I think it is a good thing that we can never be certain as to do people get what they deserve in Life – how many of us can be sure we have always done the right, the fair, the best thing in every situation? If I can forgive others then perhaps I too can be forgiven!
Do rewards follow results?
Well, yes, every result brings its own reward but whether good or bad depends on circumstances and what we might call chance. Observation of effect patterns over a long time can narrow the probability but we must always account for some random results.
How to get good results:
Choose to work for long term goals that will challenge you to become a greater human being! Become all that you can! Opportunities in your future will arise as a direct result of the actions you take today. If you neglect important daily steps then over time your results will decline.
Have you ever thought “If only I had been prepared for this!”? Well, we cannot always be prepared for the bad things that can happen unexpectedly, but we can minimize bad results by being very careful in our planning and carrying out our plans, and if we work always to produce good results for good reasons then we can be confident that a lot more good will result than bad!
And when good results from our plans and actions then we can be confident the rewards will be great!
How do YOU measure rewards? By the amount of money you make? Or by the way in which you touch people’s lives for the better? That’s how I measure rewards – the great feeling I get inside when my actions have resulted in people getting a whole lot more enjoyment out of Life – it sure is a great feeling! Worth striving for!
May you receive all the best results you work for, and may your rewards be great!

My Top Tips For Selling Successfully On Online Auctions
This article discusses some central issues about selling on online auctions to make a profit, some extra cash, a second income, or even a small business. Learn how to discover what to sell on eBay to make money. Learn tips to draw the most bidders and obtain the highest profits every time. Decide just how much money you want and how much work you are prepared to do. Decide if this is really the best home based business for you.
First I’d like to say you definitely can and will make money selling on online auction websites. It is one of the few guaranteed money making opportunities on the internet and you can choose how much you want to scale the plan up to earn whatever money you wish to.
The key is that in general, the more money you want to make, the more effort and hours you will need to put in, and the more items you will have to mail. It is a physical hands on internet business and it is not the ideal business for everyone who wants to start a home based business, but if you want to feel sure your time and effort are bringing certain rewards then you will like making money with auctions. You can start a home based business selling on online auctions today!
Take any one unwanted item from your home and list it on eBay. Take a good clear photo of the item and describe it accurately, stating why you want to sell it and the exact condition, and make it sound like something exciting to buy! You have 55 letters to find a winning title for your item. The title is your headline, in effect, to draw people in to look at your sales page. Use critical keywords, an excitement word, a call to view! Use the brand name if the item is branded, or a brief description.
Place the item in the most appropriate category and also consider a second contrasting category to capture more viewers: don’t go with the suggestions given, browse through the categories and find one a little different but appealing. Try the home and garden section, or unusual items or collectibles. Avoid the obvious for a second category. Be sure to check how much the listing is costing – do you really need that sub title or the super sized pictures? Keep it basic. One gallery picture is enough for most items. I rarely use more than two.
Carefully consider your auction length and start time. It is most effective to end on a Sunday evening so schedule your start time accordingly. I list nearly everything on a 10 day auction in the UK, but experiment with different auction lengths and see what works best for your niche. I find the longer the item is on display, the more watchers it gathers and the more bidders I am attracting. More bidders bidding against each other raises my price and my profit!
I send an email to buyers who purchased the previous week, asking if they received their item and hoping they are pleased with it, and adding a note that I have other similar items they may be interested in this week also. These are the best bidders you can get, the people who have already purchased from you. They may add you to their favourites list. I have some buyers who visit my listings every week for more than six months. That’s powerful branding.
So now you have succeeded in selling an item from your home and learned the complete listing process. Go back and browse the categories and sub categories, making notes as you go. You really can’t do this too much! Check out the auctions in categories that interest you – get to know all you can about what is selling well online. Have a look at other country sites like Canada and Australia, too. Are the same items selling there? For greater or lower price? Find anything you can import from one country and export to another?
Get into the habit of sending a quick message to sellers asking if they would like to sell more stock and offering to purchase at a wholesale price for sole rights to sell in your country. This will work well with handbags and accessories and health and beauty products. It will work very well for collectibles but remember there is a great difference between sourcing one-of-a-kind items and mass selling new items.
Many sellers are only selling on their country site and will be very happy to deal with you to sell from your country site. Buy 5-10 items at first to test before rolling out the numbers. What sells well in one country may not sell at all in another. Or you may face too much cut price competition. Can you source any hot category items locally and sell them worldwide? Check out pulse.ebay to see what items are hot this week.
Seasonal items and products people prefer to have delivered at home, such as acne lotions, will always be hot items. Do all the research you can. Aim to source at least four contrasting items to sell long term and keep researching. What items are other sellers similar to you selling? Can you source this? Search online for dropshippers who will allow you to list a new item and when it sells they will deliver it to your customer.
Sounds too good? It probably is! But do your research and be prepared to give one idea a go, and be prepared to lose some money! What? Yes, the only way you will build a successful trading business is by losing money now and then discovering what doesn’t work. It will make you more determined to find what does work, and more appreciative of the value of your money, time and effort. That’s business! Trust your gut feelings. Be a little daring. Scale up what is working and be prepared for competition. Resist cutting your prices – instead add extra value, such as a guarantee, or a free ebook report, or multiple purchases at discount. Never be the cheapest, just be the best! This is the key to really make money quick online.
If you are prepared to research, both trawling through to discover what to sell on eBay to make money, and in the search engines to source products and joint venture partners, then you can become very successful with online auctions. Take the rough with the smooth and accept that nothing lasts forever: be ready to roll out your next item immediately!
My main point is that this is a real hands on business. You are going to sweat packing things to a deadline, you are going to face the occasional angry customer, you are going to have to step carefully through the minefield of rules, and you will need to be prepared to occasionally suffer a financial loss yet get back on track and keep selling. You need to see the bigger picture of a real business. If you opened a corner store, not every brand would sell as well as the others: you’re in for the long haul, and it’s there you profit.
So is this the perfect opportunity to make a little extra cash? Yes, you can, but a little research and a touch more effort will launch you a proper trading business: in effect, mail order. So take the time and see what you can accomplish. What exactly to sell? Anything will sell eventually but ideally you want hot selling items that move quickly in multiples.
Check your local papers too: you will often find something under priced where the seller wants quick cash so buy and list! Become an expert on certain items so you always spot a bargain. I am expert on musical instruments, having been a music teacher for years, so as soon as I see something cheap I try it out, scoop and list. You can establish different trading accounts for different niches if you prefer.
The great thing about eBay is that you can get started for no money down! It’s a real business model, handling real products. You can sell unlimited amounts of popular new items or you can opt to source rare items in high demand from specific collectors. You can sell art, clothes, accessories, beauty products, motors, comics, books, music, furniture. Adam Ginsberg became the first online auction millionaire selling pool tables across the US! You can source items in one country and sell them in another. The only limit is your imagination and your initial budget.
Start small and test everything. Be prepared for competitors to under cut your prices. Maintain your edge by offering bonuses and best service. Follow up by asking for feedback and recommend another of your bargains! Treat your sales as a real business and keep careful records of every transaction. Siphon your profits into a business bank account before drawing your salary. Plan big and act big and grow big. Think one step ahead of your competition constantly. You can profit online!

Hope this article has given you some practical tips to start a home based business using online auction sites, and some ideas on how to discover what to sell on eBay to make money.
Do you want to earn extra income from home? Are you seeking home business income? Here are some genuine tried and tested work from home business ideas you can start this week!
You may want a second income or you may be seeking to replace a current income; perhaps you or your partner want to swap your day job for a home business so one or both of you can enjoy more time at home with your young family. Whatever your reason, now is the time to act! You really can earn money at home and here I guide you through the good, the bad, and the ugly home business opportunity ideas.
The first kind of opportunity you may consider is working your office job from home perhaps a few days a week at first. You’d be surprised how receptive your employer will be to this, especially if you have a young family. Next step is to consider an easy home business opportunity such as Kleeneze or Avon which involve you selling to neighbours and friends via a catalogue. You can choose to work your own hours but I have worked this business myself and the four big pitfalls are getting paid by your customers, working throughout the year in a physical activity, successfully networking to build your downline (difficult!), and earning enough income. If you are a dedicated “people” person and have highly developed powers of persuasion and relentless enthusiasm, you might just pull off a reasonable income but personally I just found the whole idea hard work! Not for me.
Next idea is to sell physical goods via internet marketplace sites such as ebay, ebid, etsy, and amazon. You might also consider abe-books. The site acts as your market with plenty of keen buyers 24/7 and they take a commission of your sales. You usually have to pay listing fees too. Beware, because the listing fees can outweigh your profit! What can you sell with a unique twist that hundreds of others aren’t already selling cheaper? Hand made accessories and retro collectors’ items do well, as do out of print books and original art. You might try adding bonuses or offer a free ebook.
Do your research and decide what you want to sell and how popular it is at these sites. You’ll have your work cut out to find a regular supplier unless you are selling hand made items. My best tip with this business idea is to sell your retro collections bit by bit, building up a fan base clientele who will bid against one another. This has two hot points: you can declutter and gain shelf space, and you can have a lot of fun getting your toes wet in your first online biz whilst enjoying the trials of managing good customer service.
A few merchants have become millionaires this route but don’t count on it: you’ll be very lucky to break even, you are at the mercy of the postal services, and it’s a lot of hard work! I doubled my teaching income selling retro toys and comics on ebay for two years but the rules are a minefield now and I wouldn’t want to start again. Trekking to the mail office twice a week was a real pain!
So how about running your own websites and attracting your own hungry buyers to earn 100% profit with low costs? I must admit, this sounds ideal to me! If you want extra income from home this is the best of the list of my home business ideas! Managing your own websites to earn your own home business income is top of my work from home ideas so read on!
Setting up a website for yourself need no longer cost a lot of money, thanks to WordPress blogging. You can set up a blog in minutes, add the plugins you want, and learn to direct the buyers to your site yourself. The set up costs involve buying a domain name (around $10 for a year) and getting your web hosting (usually $5-10 a month). There are thousands of free WP themes to choose from and you won’t even need photoshop skills. You can start today!
Get a web host and select a trendy domain name that reflects your market and then install WordPress in Fantastico inside your hosting cPanel. Choose a theme and install it and you are ready to roll! Learn to direct website visitors for free and with a little patience you will start making money from home!
Now there are 3 top reasons why I think this home business idea’s the best for everyone:
#1 Buyers will visit your site 24/7 eager to purchase what you are selling – get the offer and price right and make it one click easy to purchase!
#2 You can sell downloadable items such as video training courses or How-To ebooks, software, or audio mp3 programs: these all have high perceived value especially since the buyer can access the information instantly upon payment. You don’t have to ship the goods since the buyer receives a link automatically upon payment. You can provide easy safe instant payment via Paypal, Clickbank, or the numerous shopping cart facilities available now. You might even choose Worldpay which links to your business bank account if you so choose.
#3 Your costs are kept to a minimum, there’s no limit to how many items you can sell, and since it is your website, you retain full control over everything from day one. This is a no brainer to me!
You may want to dip into this by offering items as an affiliate where you secure a commission for each sale. The pros of this are that you incur no product creation costs and you can test the market with different but similar products: you are leveraging the research and development of the product owner. The cons are that there will be a lot of other affiliates offering the same product and so your website lacks the kudos of the product owner. You have to charge what the product costs and you can’t bundle items together.
Upgrade by investing a little time, research, and development costs into producing your own downloadable product range, and network successfully with like minded marketers, and you have reached the top of the trees as a home business owner. You not only retain full control but you can also enjoy the leverage of having your own army of affiliates working for you and you only need pay a commission when they sell the product. A company like Clickbank can handle all of this for you making this the ultimate in work from home ideas.
Having your own downloadable products which you sell from your own website will bring you the biggest home business income. So you really want to aspire to this as soon as you can, even if you earn extra income from home with other start home business ideas first. Read all you can, research all you can, and ask all you can. Online forums are a great place to start, and I aim to give you as many resources, tips, and training videos as possible on this website: Niche Affiliate Cash blog. So make a start today, and here’s to your success!

You can be making money quick online in any niche making money with blogs if you adhere to one simple rule: focus on your expertise and the money will follow. Build value for the future by developing your own niche blog community – start today!
When you want to buy an item you probably have an interest in reading at least two contrasting reviews first: it’s human nature to want to know what other buyers say before you purchase. Is there a possibility you would purchase through a link at the end of one of these reviews? I think so, especially if the writer draws you in, holds your interest, shares a few tips or a secret or two, and reads as knowledgeable.
So where would you seek these reviews out? How about on a respected niche blog? Or a cheap and cheerful looking spammy website with more colourful flashing ads than a city mall at night? I suspect you’d take the respected niche blog more seriously!
So the point I am making here is – build your platform of presenting concise expertise in an informative but also entertaining manner, build a community of niche topic information seekers, and encourage experts in your chosen niche to guest post for you, or do Skype interviews and include these as blog posts. You can quickly become expert by association.
Experts and info seekers alike are always pleased to contribute to a quality niche blog community because the exchange is win-win for all. And in this sense, you, as blog owner, are the middle man between interested parties: both buyers and sellers. Your blog community becomes a respected marketplace, with care.
Keep your advertisements to a minimum, resist flash, and ensure everything on your blog is closely related to the precise niche topic you are targeting. Develop neat clean cut graphics for your blog interface: it needs to appear up to date and very modern, yet not flashy at all. Simple and strightforward is the path to niche riches.
The best way to achieve this is to check out other blogs, both in and out of your topic: what graphics appeal to you? What seems to create the best kind of effect and draw the reader’s eye, rather than distracting it? There are many smart WordPress templates to choose from, both free and paid, and you can have your own designed inexpensively: you could then resell the design under licence to bring an income stream making money with blogs and added kudos. Being a graphic designer is funky!
So now you have your blog ready with a great design template, an optin box to enable you to develop your subscriber list for added traffic on demand and profits, and you have created some candid and controversial posts to get the conversation flowing (this brings return visitors like wildfire), and you have enlisted the help of a well known expert or two – what now?
You need to build value for the future. A blog takes time to mature. It needs targeted posts, relevant information, a reader community, expert writers, keyword domination, and a great welcoming atmosphere. No one stays drinking in a cold empty club: blogging is a social game. Get people on board. Encourage comments. Be patient.
In a few months you will have developed quite a mature platform so now you should start to see some return. You can definitely make money with ads: AdSense to begin and then targeted sellers and even banner ads to affiliate products you make a commission from. Commission Junction is a superb affiliate network to consider for very professional design advertising banners.
If you have placed an email optin box in the top right hand corner as soon as you began the blog you should soon start to build a good targeted subscriber list. I would mainly email tips and link to new blog posts. You don’t need to try to sell direct from your emails: you want people to return to the blog and comment and read. Simply not selling in your emails will bring you more respect than you can imagine right now!
And your subscribers will avidly visit your blog because they will be intrigued! And they will feel good about the fact you are building value on your blog: as soon as you mail offer after offer your subscribers feel hemmed in and will unsubscribe. But everyone loves a “Tips ‘n’ Tricks” newsletter.
I am on quite a few bloggers’ email lists and whenever they send an email, I almost always visit the blog post they link to in their email because they write very interesting stuff, and almost never try to sell me, so I actually end up looking on them as a trusted friend. And when they occasionally say “Look at this product, I tried this and it works for me” then I will check it out, and will buy through their affiliate link as appreciation for their recommendation!
You see, the soft sell approach is a slow old game! So slow it’s powerful because so few marketers play this slow game that the few who do get personal recommendations like crazy. You are building value in the belief that people will reciprocate, and your readers will respect you for this, and love you and your blog, and eventually, just about anything you throw their way! It’s slow but it’s powerful.
So slowly and carefully go about building a respected niche blog community and you’ll soon be making money quick online: what have you got to lose? After all, go about marketing your blog in any other way and you will be left readerless with no subscribers! So I encourage you to build value for the future – who knows, you yourself may become a celebrity blogger making money with blogs and you may decide to sell to the highest bidder a couple of years from now. Believe and achieve!

Here is a blogging book review by famous celebrity blogger Darren Rowse and here is what I find so inspiring about this title and why you may enjoy reading this too
I am always excited to read the next hot internet marketing book because I read so many ebooks and pdf files online that my eyes appreciate a rest! I love paperback books anyway – don’t the titles look good on your bookshelf? So I couldn’t wait to start reading Problogger, the how to blog book, by Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett, who have both excelled at developing six figure incomes from blogs and blogging. Now it is your turn: discover the fun of making money from blogs!
What exactly is a blog and how do you make money with one?
A blog, short for web log, is an interactive website with as many pages as you wish, all centred around one main theme, usually a niche market interest, where you, the author, can post as often as you want, and your readers can interact by leaving comments after each post. It’s the most personalised form of web 2.0 marketing and it can do wonders for your career opportunities: company head hunters will be keen to hire someone who has ideas, can express these ideas online and interact with targeted followers, and knows how to influence people online. These skills will be well placed in any company, so start your blog today, even if it is simply insights into your industry, or centred on a hobby you enjoy.
Whatever you have some knowledge and opinions about will be a fine topic for a blog because if you have a topic of interest then you will soon attract others who are interested in your topic and want to read more and perhaps debate certain points from your blog posts. Some topics lend themselves naturally to a variety of monetization opportunities, but most topics will provide you some advertising revenue and in a few weeks from start up you can be making money from blogs.
You can also trade your skills and consultancy from your blog platform, and you can create or team up with experts and develop information products to sell, such as ebooks and downloadable audio and video training programs. You can charge a monthly fee to your subscribers and earn a good income from sharing your expertise. Problogger how to blog book will enthuse you and show you in depth how to make money online.
The articles you place on your blog are called posts. You can decide whether to allow comments or not, and if you decide to, you can find plugins to your wordpress blog which display the comment leaver’s last blog post so that adds a benefit for your readers. You can plugin to allow readers to share your content on their favourite social network and bookmark sites which gives you more visitors for free and some extra backlinks which help boost your ranking in the search engines.
Two other really useful plugins are the all in one search engine optimization and the XML sitemap. It is best not to have too many plugins because this can slow down how long your blog takes to load in your reader’s browser, and nobody likes to wait for a slow loading website. You are free to write whatever you want, so your blog becomes a media platform for you to share your opinions with the world and develop your own voice, style and approach. Keep posting quality information and you will soon enjoy a following of loyal and interested readers.
This is the right time to add an email opt in box to your homepage in order to send out reminders and free information to your readers. Most will appreciate this extra rapport. The one key thing is not to bombard your subscribers with sales offers because they will leave your list and stop reading your blog if you make it look as if you only want to make money. However, if you recommend a product from time to time that you use and find invaluable, then that is a service to your readers, especially if you can negotiate a discount for them, and many will consider purchasing your endorsed product.
After a few months your most loyal readers will also be keen to purchase a book written by you, so start to consider how you might go about producing this, how you will price it, and what information it will give, or what problems it will solve. Your expert status will immediately rise when you can feature your own book on your homepage, and again, this will attract more readers.
The only way you can fail at your blog project is to give up before your project really takes off. So keep on posting daily and respond to your readers. Always ask yourself what value you can add for your visitors and subscribers. Soon yours will be the foremost authority blog in your niche.
