Work At Home Online Instead Of At Work

By Robert Clever on April 18, 2023 in Blog

As information super highways become revenue super highways, so do work-at-home opportunities. Thousands of people are quitting their jobs, working from home, and making money online. You can start your own online work-at-home business if you are motivated and have some free time.

So far this probably sounds like one of those e-mails you always delete advertising one of these so-called online businesses. It’s okay. You aren’t being sold anything here or even suggested an online business that allows you to work from home. The purpose of this article is to inform you of some of the options available. What works for you is up to you.

USE YOUR PRIOR TRAINING OR SKILLS TO FREELANCE

Whatever your expertise may be: writing, coding, painting, or contorting yourself into odd shapes, there are websites that let you find work at home jobs in those fields. Each of these sites operates differently. There are some websites that post job opportunities and allow members to bid on them; there are others that post jobs and have respondents contact the clients directly.

There are some that charge membership fees, and there are some that don’t. Craigslist.com and writerlance.com are excellent websites to find freelance work from home. When looking for a site that fits your skills, search engines are your best friend. You’re sure to find something if you look hard enough.

WRITE ABOUT YOUR FIELD

Blogs are a wonderful way to express yourself. Success and failure have taught you a lot over the course of your life. Maybe you know the best way to filet a salmon or how to count cards so the casino monitors can’t catch you. You’d be surprised how many people want to know this information. Think about starting a blog if you are halfway decent at writing. No matter what you write about, if you can get people to read your blog, you can make money. The writing is only the bait. The food on your plate is what you include with your writing.

Think about your audience when you’re writing. Identify a niche group for your articles, and then target all your money-making plans to that group. A targeted campaign is more likely to be successful than a general campaign. Don’t worry. I’m getting to how to actually make the money.

HERE IT IS, THE MONEY MAKING PART OF YOUR WORK AT HOME BUSINESS!

It is possible to make money online in a number of ways, both using a blog and without. Affiliate marketing is one way to do this. An affiliate marketer puts a link to another website somewhere online, and that site pays you for every click or registration or sale. When you have a blog, affiliate marketing can be a great way to make money, especially if you have a large audience. It is, however, not necessary to be a blogger to take advantage of affiliate marketing.

There are many message boards and forums on the Internet where you can post the links. Affiliate marketing can be a work from home business in and of itself.

Buying and selling items online is another opportunity. Some have written books about making money on eBay and other auction sites, which might be a viable home business for some. There may be others of you who have your own products you would like to sell. Maybe you take nature photography or are in a band or do arts and crafts. Well, you can sell those personalized dream catchers online or those struggling demo CDs.

If you are smart, you will look at a local college and see if there are students looking for experience who will work for a reduced price or as part of a class project. Set up a website using a website design program, learn HTML, or hire someone else to do it for you. When your website is up and running, you can do the rest of the marketing and selling work at home.

Getting your product onto the Internet market can be easy with online communities like TikTok and Facebook. Tapping into Facebook is tapping into millions of people worldwide. So if you’re trying to sell that CD or those photographs, join several of these online communities and market to the other members. Just remember to fo us your profile around your product and business. You’ll be amazed what you can accomplish having a community that size at your fingertips.

HAVE A PLAN

Regardless of what work at home opportunity you choose, make sure you consider it carefully. Make sure you do your homework on the ones you’re using. Learn from other people’s successes and failures. Plan a long-term business strategy with short-term, attainable goals. People who wander haphazardly about the Internet, flitting from online business to another busines don’t make much money. It is possible to work at home and still make money if you plan carefully, have a direction, and make a plan.

Why Free Makes It Easy – You’ve got to give before you get principal.

By Robert Clever on March 15, 2023 in Blog

If you run an online business, you should know about the most popular search term people use on the internet. Knowing what it is and using it to its fullest extent can literally boost your sales.

The all important word is FREE!!!

There’s nothing better than something for free. No one wants to pay if they can get something for free. FREE is the word that shows up in searches more than anything else.

Think about all the times you have searched for something on the internet. No matter if it was information, a service, a product, or anything else. Did you just type in the description, a keyword or a phrase, or did you use the word free? When the search engines generated your results, I’m pretty sure they gave you a list of ‘related searches’ containing the keywords you used with ‘free’ in front of them if you omitted the word free.

The benefit of giving something away for free.

If you offer something for free as an online business, it can really pay off.

Having your website optimized for the word has amazing benefits. It’s typed in more than any other word, so it will boost your search engine rankings.

When a customer finds you in their search results, trying to give them something free will draw them in even more. In fact, giving them something for free is such a huge attraction that I can’t emphasize how important it is.

How giving something for free can make you money.

When someone visits your site to claim their freebie, several things can happen.

To get their free product, they have to give you their name and email address. This is the #1 reason why we’re offering it.

First time visitors are unlikely to buy anything, so unless they have a really good reason to come back, they’re unlikely to return.

Having their email address lets you send them emails to remind them about your site. You can send them ‘special offers and affiliate sales too.

We all know that it takes 7 contacts with a customer to get them to buy anything (sales pitches, reminders, offers, etc…). So let’s stick with the topic at hand. There are tons of reasons for this, but I’ll put them in another article.

When you keep in touch with your customers, you’re more likely to get them to buy from you.

The customer learns to trust you, he or she becomes familiar with you, and that’s what usually makes the sale.

So, that’s how you make money by giving away something for free.

The quality of free.

There has to be quality in the item that you’re selling, whether it’s an ezine subscription, an ebook, a report, or software.

When your customers get their freebie, and it’s bad quality, they won’t come back.

It doesn’t matter if you’re the best website in your niche, offer the best deals because they won’t come back.

If they’re impressed by their free gift, they’ll visit your website again and again. Offering high-quality, useful products is key to making a freebie offer work.

How you can drive traffic to your website using ‘free’.

You can drive traffic to your website with classified ads. Make sure the headline and description are about “what’s in it for me”. That means giving them a freebie.

Post classifieds for free. Just type ‘free classifieds’ into the search box and pick from the thousands of results that the search engines generate. Submit your ads often and traffic will keep coming.

Other ways to drive traffic using ‘free’.

You can use it anywhere your ads appear. If you write articles, reports, or ebooks, put the offer in the resource box. If you pay per click, use the offer in your ad copy. If you’re advertising in ezines, you can use your free offer as a resource box, whether it’s your own, an affiliate or bought.

Choose carefully.

The most important thing to remember when deciding what to give way is this.

Your free item should be appropriate for the audience you are targeting. Stick to the theme no matter what niche you operate in.

If you offer an ebook on ‘how to make money online’ and your business sells woodworking course, you will be heading for a problem.

The customer will visit your website to get their ebook. They will download it and probably be very pleased if it contained high quality information on ‘Making money online’. When you contact them via email with for example a ‘special offer on wood tools’, unless by some highly unlikely, random chance that they are building a shed. In that case, they will not visit your website again.

No matter how many emails you send them, their interest was Make money online, not woodworking. Why should they visit your site again? The fact is they won’t.

So be mindful of what the niche you are targeting wants and give it to them.

In conclusion, the more freebies you offer, the more money you will make.

It is one of the most effective traffic drivers and is a straightforward concept.

Now that you have this gem of information, get to work. Plan what you could offer to whom, when, and where.

Decide on something you can legally give away. Make it something your niche market will use. Advertise it everywhere you can and your opt-in list will grow fast. After all, it’s the list that drives business.

Below is a perfect example of the ‘free’ offer. I didn’t make it up, it’s for real and it works.

Ask Yourself One Question! Can I Make Money With Affiliate Marketing?

By Robert Clever on February 21, 2023 in Blog

It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in Affiliate Marketing or you’re looking for other ways to make money online, I know you’ve been exploring the internet for businesses. You can only find this series there. I imagine you have found a few that appeal to you now that we agree you have been looking for an opportunity.

When you look around for more than a few hours, you realize some tall promises about making huge money by clicking a few buttons and turning your computer into a cash-generating machine. Well, if it was that easy everyone would be doing it and nobody would be telling you how you could do it; they would keep the secret to themselves. If that were the case, then why are so many people making claims, selling them, or otherwise getting those ideas to you?

I want to let you know that, you, my fine Affiliate Marketing friend, are the reason those ads are out there. You, as the customer, must buy into those various different ideas and then pay for them. As we go through this series, we will look at the various different opportunities that exist on the internet and see what you think you can do to make some money doing what the seller is selling.

It is your belief that you too could make some money doing whatever it is the seller is selling. As a beginner in internet marketing, I don’t claim to be an expert on everything; however, I will share with you some of the things that have guided me on my journey.

However, before we can do anything, I need you to ask yourself one very important question. The answer to this question will determine everything you do online. It comes before you determine what type of business you might be looking for, before you make a business plan, before you get money for your business before you get a website before you pick a business name; even before breakfast!

The question is:

Do you want to make money on the Internet because you want or need money? But that’s not enough! Why do you need money? Buying something? Getting out of debt? Getting a house, a car, a trip? Do you just want to be stinkin’ rich? If you don’t have a “why”, you might as well just give up right now, send me $20, and move on. The internet isn’t the place for you.

I know, that sounds pretty crass! Well, it is; but, it’s the truth. If you have been at this for more than an hour, you know by now, you won’t make money quickly! It’s sales hype. If you don’t have a “why” etched in stone and tattooed on your forehead or painted on the wall in front of you, you WILL fail! That I can guarantee you.

If you want a business to work, you have to be determined, whether you’re in the real world or online. On the internet, it’s easy to get distracted, discouraged, derailed, etc. There must be a “why” that is unique to you and your situation and that drives you.

If you get a good enough “why” you can succeed online or anywhere for that matter. I will show you the ropes in future installments. During this time, I want you to take out a piece of paper and a writing tool and write down all the reasons “why” you want to make money online. Be specific! Next time, we’ll have a quiz! It’s a really personal experience for you. Get some real reasons down on paper and be completely honest with yourself.

For me, I was tired of asking to go o vacation. Or not having enough money to go on vacation, I need to be my own boss and wake up when I wanted to not when I had to. That is my “Why”

I found my why. You MUST find yours.

Stone Evans; known as The Home-Biz Guy around the internet, says you must have three intangibles if you are to be successful. The first is “why”, which we covered above, next is:

“You must BELIEVE that it is possible.”

“If you don’t believe that it’s POSSIBLE for you to make money with affiliate programs or make your living on the Internet, you won’t. It’s that simple.”

“Realizing it was possible was just a matter of realizing that people were ALREADY making great money online. If they were doing it, so could I. It was just a matter of adapting what they were doing to my situation.”

People (millions of them) are making money online with affiliate programs without a doubt. Just do some research online and you’ll find countless testimonials and stories of REAL PEOPLE making real money on the Internet. You will also find the same documented evidence in your local bookstore. You can make money online with affiliate programs becoming easier and easier.

“Affiliate marketing” is the job of the future, I’ve always said. In the “old” days, you had to go to a potential employer, apply for the position, and hope for the best. Now you can just apply for an affiliate program with any company, and you’re off and running. Affiliate programs are the new working class. You can make a lot of money online or earn a living with affiliate programs.

Affiliate marketing is the “job” of the future that’s already here TODAY.

The last intangible you MUST have is:

You must be willing to MAKE THE LEAP.

Ready, FIRE, then aim… In order to succeed with affiliate marketing, you MUST adopt this operating philosophy.

In most cases, people prefer to aim before firing. The Internet is a moving target… It is only change that is constant. You need to stop analyzing the game and just jump into it. It is impossible to learn from the outside… You must be IN THE RING to truly understand it.

I call this “Making the Leap.” This is what I mean when I say you can never really be ready to start an affiliate marketing business. You simply have to do it.

The good news is that the cost of failure on the Internet is very small. In the “brick and mortar” world, you need to evaluate things very carefully before you decide to open up a business. In order to start a successful offline business, you usually have to invest thousands of dollars. However, you can usually get started on the Internet for less than $100.

Get IN THE GAME… Each moment you stay “out there,” you’re wasting valuable time you could be learning the skills necessary to become an affiliate marketer. Make the leap to becoming an affiliate marketer today! If you’re not in the game yet, you’re already behind the times.

Let me help you get started if you have little funds to invest, how about a free website with built in affiliate programs, you can start for as little as 10 bucks the cost of a domain name. It’s all set up for you to profit out of the gate. Perfect for beginners. Take that leap…
