The question I am asked the most is, "How can I create additional income streams if I don't have any money to get started?" This article is going to teach you exactly that - how to create additional income streams using the Internet - without requiring any money to get started...
If you search for
Work-at-Home or Make Money Online, you will have literally millions of websites
to visit that promise you the next best way to get rich... for a fee...
You can spend hundreds
of dollars researching all of the business opportunities on the Internet. But
more times than not, the money you spend only supplies information on
everything else you need to buy to get started.
Well have no fear! I am
going to show you some of the secrets I use to creating income streams with no
money down!
I realize that a lot of
you are living paycheck to paycheck. Everything coming in, quickly goes right
back out. My intention of writing this article is to help you break out of this
cycle with Affiliate Programs.
What are Affiliate Programs?
Affiliate Programs are used to
promote a product or service through a cost-per-action advertising model.
Simply put, website owners will pay you a commission for every person you send
to their website that either buys their product or service, or perform some
other type of action such as filling out a survey...
Amazon.com built a huge
following by utilizing Affiliate Programs. A website owner simply put a unique
link on their website that Amazon.com provided them. Every time someone clicked
on their unique link and ordered a book, the website owner would be paid a
commission - usually a percentage of sales.
Banner ads or text ads
are used to drive the traffic to the affiliate website. For example, one
website might say "Click here to order Sean's Latest Book." When
someone clicks on the link, it will go to exactly where they can order the book
at Amazon.com.
High traffic websites
benefit greatly by this business model since they can drive a lot of people to
the affiliate websites which results in a lot of commissions being earned.
But what if I don't have
a website?!
I know, you don't have a
website, right? Or maybe you do, but you don't get a lot of traffic? I have
good news...
BLOGS = FREE TRAFFIC
Over the last couple
years, a new type of website has come onto the scene. They are called BLOGS. A
blog is like a personal diary of articles that you post that people can read
and comment on.
A couple examples:
http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com
http://ulosefast.blogspot.com
You can use a BLOG to
drive visitors to affiliate links without having to have a website. If you look
at the fortunedreams blog above, you will notice that at the end of every
article is a link that says "Click here for FREE Information on Working at
Home-FortuneDreams.com"
If you click on that
link, it will go to an affiliate link which redirects you to a free survey to
fill out.
For every person that
completes that free survey, I get paid $2.25. Not too bad, eh?
So How Do I Do It?
Step 1: Open a free
affiliate account. Go to www.magmoney.com and join the affiliate program there.
This affiliate program will allow you to earn $2.25 for every free survey
completed.
Step 2: Login to your
affiliate account. At the top of the screen, you will see some TABS. Click on
the tab that says "CREATE YOUR LINKS." Then click on the link that
says "CLICK HERE To get banner and text link code to advertise our three
different websites."
The first website listed
will allow you to refer other people to join the MagMoney Affiliate Program.
For every person that signs up through your link, you will get paid 75 cents
for every person THEY get to complete a free survey. (You might not want to
promote this one until later - when you have a friend that wants to do what you
are doing... You can then get paid on their efforts!)
The second website listed
will allow you to send traffic to a weight loss website. If you want to create
a blog about weight loss, then you will want to use this for your affiliate
link.
The third website listed
will allow you to send traffic to a Work at Home website. If you want to create
a blog about Working at Home, then you will want to use this for your affiliate
link.
Step 3: Decide which
website you want to promote from Step #2, and click on the CLICK HERE that is
next to it to create your unique affiliate link.
Once you do that, you
will get a list with your unique affiliate link along with about 10 banner ads.
Disregard the banner ads since we will not be using them on the Blog.
Step 4: Write down the
affiliate link that is listed under the heading "Basic Affiliate Url:".
If you are doing a
weight loss blog, your link would look something like this:
www.mailorderwork.com/gl/g.o/USERNAME/http://www.ulosefast.com
(Except all on one
line.)
Step 5: Go to
Blogger.com and create a free Blog account.
Step 6: Go ahead and
create your first blog, whether it is for Work at Home or Weight Loss.
Step 7: Post articles to
your Blog with your affiliate link posted at the end of every article you post.
(Refer back to http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com to get an idea of what to
post.)
Do the same thing I did
with the "Click here for FREE Information on Working at
Home-FortuneDreams.com" But make sure you link it back to YOUR unique
affiliate link that you wrote down from Step #4.
Where Do I Find
Articles?
The easiest way would be
to simply copy them from one of my blogs listed in the examples above. Or visit
one of the free article websites such as www.SubmitYourArticle.com . There are
literally thousands of articles for the taking. You will want to search for
articles that fit the topic of the link you are promoting.
For example, if you are
promoting the Work at Home link, you would want articles pertaining to Work at
Home.
Step 8: Promote your
Blog! There are hundreds of Blog Directories and RSS Directories that you can
submit to that are free of charge. When you create a blog at www.Blogger.com,
you also get a free RSS feed of your Blog. You simply add /atom.xml to the end
of your Blog.
For example:
The blog
http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com/ would be http://fortunedreams.blogspot.com/atom.xml
as an RSS feed.
This allows you to
submit it to all the RSS and Blog Directories that you can find...
Step 9: VERY IMPORTANT:
After EVERY article that you post to your blog, go to www.pingomatic.com and
submit your blog. Click on ALL the Services to Ping and then submit pings.
This tells many of the
popular Blog directories that you have a new article posted. The more articles
you post, the higher your ranking (and the more traffic they will send you!)
So be sure to do this
after every article you post.
Step 10: Post new
articles on your Blog several times a day. Try to post at least a dozen or more
new articles on a daily basis to achieve the best results.
So there you have it! A
completely, absolutely free way to start generating income with the Internet
from the comfort of your own home...
Of course you can repeat
the process over and over again creating as many blogs as you want. You can
also use this method with any of the hundreds of other affiliate programs on
the Internet.
Utilizing this method,
you should be able to build up an extra income from several hundred dollars a
month to several thousand - depending on how hard you work at it.
Now that you are earning
a little bit of pocket money, put $250 aside for a special opportunity to turn
it into hundreds of thousands of dollars with the ultimate leverage!
I'll tell you all about
it in my next article about my favorite Business Model - Network Marketing...
