Many people are skeptical when it comes to make money online. They think that there should a huge investment to make money. But in case of online money making that’s not true. You can make a lot of money without spending a dime and I will give you the step by step instruction on how to do that.
Step 1
Picking Up The Product
Join an affiliate program. If you are a beginner clickbank will be a good option. Pick a product to promote that gives you more than $20 per sale with a gravity 30-150. Go to google keyword tool and search the product name. It must have some search volume or if the products are new the niche should have a good search volume.
Step 2
Keyword Research
Keyword research is the most important step here. If you fail here, your entire strategy will fail. Don’t panic, I will show you exactly how to pick winning keywords every time. Here’s what all you should look for a keyword
1. The keyword should have more than 1000 searches on exact match types in
2. The competing pages for the keyword should be below 30,000. To find the competition go to google and type your keyword in quotes. For example if your keyword is strength training system, search it with quotes, “strength training system” and if the result google gives is less than 30,000 it is not much competitive.
3. Next we have to look at the strength of the top 10 pages on google for the keyword without quotes. This is a crucial step that most newbie internet marketers ignore. If the top ten pages are with authority sites and wikipedia or about.com and if they have optimized for the keyword, ignore it and search for another keyword. If the top ten pages contain ezine articles, web 2.0’s like hubpages and squidoo, then go on to the next step.
4. The final step is to analyze the baclinks of the top ten pages. For that go to and enter the url of the top pages. As a general guide line average backlinks should be about 100 and there should be pages ranking in top ten with less than 50 backlinks.
If your keywords meet all these four requirements, then you have picked up a winning keyword that can be ranked in the first page of google without much difficulty.
Step 3
Creating The Content
1. Next you have to write a 300-500 words article with the keyword in the title. Also include the keyword in the first sentence, middle and towards the end of the article. Also do not forget to include the url to the products you are promoting in the article!
2. Three places I highly recommend to submit the articles are hubpages, squidoo and articlebase. Google loves these sites and they have a great authority in the eyes of google. So it is very easy to achieve rankings fast. And most importantly for a beginner, these are absolutely free! So submit the article to any one of these sites linking back to your product.
Step 4
Building Backlinks
Building backlinks are the key to top rankings and also the most difficult task. Even some of the articles you created using the above methods can rank highly without any backlinks but some needs quality backlinks to boost the rankings. So here are the methods that I used to build backlinks without much difficulty.
1. Forum Posts – Finding a forum with high pagerank in your niche will be a difficult task at first, but after finding things become easy. All you need is to put the article url in the forum signature with anchor text as your keyword. After that participate in the forum giving relevant posts. Also read the forum rules. Some forums need you to make 10 or 15 posts before including links.
2. Blog Commenting – Search google for “do follow blogs” or “do follow blog directories” and you will end up with a lot of blogs which allows do follow comments, which means that you will get the link juice. Post comment on these blogs with the keyword in the place of name and the article url in the place of website. After the comment approval you will get a valuable backlink
3. Answers – Post relevant answers to the below sites with a link back to your article. Some of my favorites are -
* Yahoo Answers (no follow, but high authority in the eyes of google)
* Yedda.com
* Blurtit.com
* Unasked.com
* Answerbag.com
Do not spam these sites. Contribute to the community or else they will make the links do follow and you will lose your valuable backlinks.
4. Articles Submission – These are my least favourite (I’m lazy to write 400 word articles for backlinks) and I will only use them if the sites are not getting top rankings. Some sites I submit the articles are -
* Ezine Articles (You can also use this for your main article, but the disadvantage is that it tooks a long time to approve the articles, about 5-7 days and ezines will only allows one link in the article body, but articlebase allows 3 links in article body and approves within 48 hours)
* Buzzle
* Go Articles
If you complete all these steps, you can achieve a top google ranking and will get lots of traffic and sales without spending a dime on advertising.

The internet is big! There’s no debating that! It started out as the information superhighway. Now it is becoming the place to go to check to for deals. It is also the place to go when you are trying to save money.
So, how can you take advantage of all this business that is conducted on the world wide web? If you set things up properly, you will be rewarded with a passive online income stream for years to come. This is the ideal form of income. Who doesn’t dream of getting paid for sleeping? Or getting paid while you’re on your vacation and you’ve been gone for 3 months? That is the life! Well, for me. I don’t know if you feel the same way. Some people are workaholics and cannot be away from their work. But, to each their own.
Companies are reporting that with each year, their online revenues are increasing. They love it. Online marketplaces cut down on overhead tremendously. There is no need for a big office building with fancy lights and such. All that’s needed for them is a big warehouse, an internet site, and someone to handle the orders as they come in.
Settings Things Up
This is the hardest part. You will need to set time aside to learn how the internet works and you will need to know a little about marketing as well as what people are searching for. This is key for this will determine what will be successful for you.
Once you have the basic information, you can either use free sites or set up your own. Then you build it so that it is attractive and so it offers useful information, the info that the searcher is looking for. Then you add in offers that will suit your audience, offers for which you are an affiliate. Then you work on sending traffic to your site. And that is it!
This is exactly how some people have broken out of the rat race and gained their financial freedom through the world wide web.
Selling Online
They have created their own little storefront and are selling products that other people need at lower prices than the local physical stores. Some people harness the power of eBay to build their online store.
Affiliate
Others don’t want to have to worry about shipping or dealing with customers, so they sign up as affiliates to eBay and other businesses. For these people, every time they send an interested party to eBay or whatever, they get credited the sale and make a commission.
Freelance
Yet others will offer their services through the internet community through sites like Guru.com and Elance.com.
