Another internet marketing strategy

.

Making money on the internet has become a common trend all over the world and in Nigeria to be precise, whenever we talk about making money on the internet so many people think that the only way you can make money on the internet is by being fraudulent. This is not true as there are numerous opportunities to make money on line genuinely. There are ways one can earn income on line but there are so many people who find it difficult to make money, probably because they don’t have websites, credit cards and access to pay-pal.

I want to encourage all those who are new to online business not to give up but strive to make a living online, if they so desire because most of the business and job opportunities are free and easy to join. You can get a website if you have the means to get it but if you can’t have a website, you can get a free blog to write articles and make weekly income, you can also join paid to click websites, affiliate marketing sites, network marketing etc. Below is step by step guide on how to make money in Nigeria without a website.

ARTICLE MARKETING

For you to making money marketing articles, you should be a good writer; you should be able to write simple and correct English. The internet is a place where people come whenever they need information; people search the web to know things they don’t know about. So, when you write, write things that will be of help to people on the web. You can write about your profession, health and other things you know about. There are times, when students are given assignments in school, they search the web to get the information they need and if you write well, people will always come back to your site for more information. As you write your articles, always update articles by adding new information weekly or monthly. This will bring visitors to your site regularly. There are many ways to write articles and market them free without paying a dime. Some of them are Blogger, word press, Hubpages, Article plot, Best reviewer and review stream. You can also signup with free websites like www.co-cc . For more information on free publishing tools see my article on “How to make money writing articles.”

You can also write e-books and sell them online; this is one way you can continue to make money on the internet. E-books are electronic books which you write and sell online without printing it out. Anyone that needs the book can download after paying. When people want to buy the book they pay electronically through pay-pal, alert-pay or other means of electronic payment. If you are in Nigeria and you are new to online business, you can ask customers in Nigeria to pay into your account or you get an alert-pay account which is available to Nigerians.

Some other ways to make money online

So you want to start making money online, eh? Here’s how you can get started.
Note: most of you won’t get rich from these programs, so please take it as a hobby.
Also I am not responsible for any losses that you incur. I am merely stating these facts to help those that are interested.
The Essentials
There are several tools that are essential in your journey to make money online.
First you need an online payment processor, to actually receive payments. The three most popular ones are Paypal, E-Goldand Stormpay, but there are dozens of different ones out there. With the above there you will be able to participate in most online money making programs. So before you do anything else, you should make an account at atleast one of the above payment processors. Paypal is highly recommended because it’s the easiest, biggest and works with EBay. Transfer is also free with personal accounts. The only thing is some programs might not accept Paypal and that’s where E-Gold comes in, which is a payment processor backed by gold or so they say.
I have my payment processor account, what now?
There are several types of money making programs on the internet and I’ll talk about them one by one.
Paid to Read (PTR)
You make money on Paid to Read sites when they send you emails. In these emails there will often be a link where youclick on to open the advertiser’s website. You often get around $0.0025 to $0.01 for each link that you click. The key to actually make a few hundred dollars is to get lots of referrals. Speak Cash has a very comprehensive list of Paid to Read websites, click here to see them, be sure to get a higher rated PTR website!
Paid to Click (PTR)
Essentially the same idea as PTR sites, you get paid to click links and visit the advertiser\'s website. Click here to get a list of Paid to Click websites!
Paid to Post Forums
Basically the same idea as PTR and PTC websites, except you get paid to post on forums. Click here to for a list of Paid to Post Forums!
HYIP
High Yield Investment Programs are programs where you invest a certain amount of money and get a very high return after a few days. Some programs even offer 200% in one day. Almost all HYIP programs accept only E-Gold so you better have an account. The problem with these programs is that they’re all scams. It’s impossible to give that high rate of return, and one day this kind of ponzi scam will collapse. So the trick to make money here is to go in quick in a new HYIP that’s just started, and then make money and get out quick. Click here for a list of HYIPs.
Paid Auto Surfs
Paid Auto Surfs are very similar to HYIPs except they do not give you such a high return on investment and you must go on their website and surf. These programs typically offer 1%-12% daily. Paid Auto Surfs are not as much of a scam as HYIPs and usually lasts much longer and are more stable. Click here for a list of Paid Auto Surfs.
Paid to Promote (PTP)
You make money on Paid to Promote websites by promoting a particular page on a website. Most PTP websites offer around $0.60/cpm, that means when you drive 1000 hits to a particular webpage that they assign you, they pay you $0.6. Click here for a list of PTP websites. So how do you get all this traffic to PTP websites? Below is your answer.
Traffic Exchanges (Auto Surfs)
Traffic Exchanges or Auto Surfs lets you surf (view) other member’s websites, while they view your website. This way other people get hits and you also get hits, sort of like people helping people. So after you’ve signed up with a PTP website, you can use Auto Surfs or Traffic Exchanges to send hits to your PTP page. A typical Traffic Exchange can get you more than 200 hits an hour. So do the math. The problem is some PTP websites track only Unique hits, which means that every unique computer counts as one hit, and in Traffic Exchanges with little members, that means you get very little unique hits. Click here for a list of Traffic Exchanges.
That’s all I have to tell you for now. You should now go on and look at the programs listed on SpeakCash.com and find the best one for you! Remember to be aware of what programs you participate in and don’t get obsessed or go overboard. It’s best to keep everything in perspective. Remember this is only a hobby. I hope you’ve found my article helpful and I wish you good luck and have fun making money online.

How To Make Money With Facebook

If you always wanted to earn online income but didn’t know where to start, why not jump on the most popular social network site and take advantage of their ad serving platform?

Featured Story: Click Here to read about 2 College Guys Who Made $119K in One Month Using Facebook!

Believe it or not, tens of thousand of people are using Facebook every day to chat with their friends and have fun… while others are making money at the same time.

Would you like to know how to cash-it on this social phenomenon?

Would $5… $50… or $150 in additional income make you happier? What would you do with the “new found” money?

Let’s make it happen, here are three quick steps:

Step #1

Once you have signed up to Facebook your first step should be to think about how you want to present yourself. You don’t want to fake it, just be yourself and showcase your skill, your hobby or knowledge – that is what makes money from Facebook.

Don’t forget that you want to attract the attention of a specific group of people here, so that you become known as someone who is something of an expert on one particular subject. So choose wisely!

Step #2

Go for a popular niche that you personally like and have an interest in. Develop your persona in that area. If you already have something of a web presence in a particular area then you’ll use that in your advantage because — it will help you as more and more people become aware of who you, your skill/knowledge and how this can help them.

Step #3

Your first port of call, if you have anything second hand to sell which is related to your niche, is the Marketplace. It’s free to place ads in the Marketplace and there is no limit on how many you can place.

EXAMPLE: you come across a bargain lot of books on your subject on eBay or at a yard sale you can list them all individually on Facebook and sell them on for a profit.

If you have a budget to spend on advertising and you have some external websites you want to promote, you can try out the Social Ads to see what benefits you get from them. It is well worth reading through the relevant help section to see what is involved though, as it is quite in depth.

FACEBOOK BEST ADVANTAGE:

The main benefit of becoming a Facebook member is that you can build and use any number of applications to perform certain tasks on your profile page.

The GREAT NEWS is that Facebook doesn’t frown at users making money from their Facebook page, and indeed many people link in to other websites outside of Facebook itself.

People are constantly building new applications and often they are used by many other users to create pages that appeal to their own particular needs.

This is partly why you will succeed in making more money from Facebook if you brand yourself carefully before you get started on the site.

BRANDING YOURSELF?

Figure out what it is you want to do and what you want to achieve. If you already have a website up and running then you will be able to link into that, so keep the look and feel of your Facebook page in the same vein as your site.

But while you can link to other sites outside of Facebook, some people also sprinkle some affiliate links on their actual Facebook page itself. For example, some quick research revealed one person who links into a range of ClickBank products on their page and does well from doing so.

So long as you start from a strong position with a particular focus and brand in mind, you can do well by experimenting with all the benefits that Facebook offers (and they’re growing).

Take time to build up a network of friends and make sure you become known for being an expert in your particular sphere of interest/niche.

Exposure is what you should aim for. The more people you make friends with and add to your network, the more money you should be generating. However, don’t make the mistake to go after “friends” for money.

Put people first, money will follow. It’s like in the real life, just a different medium, the same communication skills and principles apply though.

You should always sound, look and act real, don’t pretend to be someone else. People feel it nowadays more than ever.

Business Plan Mistakes to Avoid

In the more than 30 years I've been involved with business planning, I've seen styles and fashion of plans change a lot, but the fundamentals remain fairly constant. To help you craft a plan that hits all the right notes, here's a list of some of the more common business planning mistakes you should avoid:

1. Don't put off writing a plan. Don't wait until you have enough time, don't wait until you have the right people, and definitely don't wait until there's an urgent reason you suddenly need a plan. Instead, just do it now. Recognize that you need a business plan and that your first step is to prepare your first plan. Get a draft up and running and then continue updating it to keep it current with your business. Of course, you'll soon realize that your plan may never be done, but the important thing is, you're planning. You should always be planning your business.

2. Don't confuse cash with profits. There's a huge difference between the two. Waiting for customers to pay can cripple your financial situation without affecting your profits. Loading your inventory absorbs money without changing profits. Spending most of your money buying inventory doesn't affect profits, but cash flow is much more important than profits because profits are an accounting concept and cash is money in the bank--you don't pay your bills with profits.

3. Don't dilute your priorities. A plan that stresses three or four main priorities is a plan with focus and power. People can understand three or four main points. A plan that lists 20 priorities doesn't really have any.

4. Don't overvalue the business idea. What gives an idea business value is not the idea itself but a business that's already built on top of it. It takes employees having shown up every morning, phone calls being answered, products being built, ordered and shipped, services being rendered, and customers paying their bills to make an idea a business. Either write a business plan that shows you building a business around that great idea, or forget it. An idea alone does not a great business make.

5. Don't confuse a plan with the act of planning. You need both to succeed. And your planning process doesn't end when your plan is done. The value of a plan is in the implementation it causes, and implementation starts the day you settle on the main points of your plan. Understand that your business plan is never really done-you're always revising it, or should be, because reality is always pressing forward. Without a plan setting markers, you'll never know the difference between plan and reality. Work your plan; don't just write it.

6. Don't fudge the details in the first 12 months. By details, I mean your financials, milestones, dates, responsibilities and deadlines. Cash flow is the most important, but you also need lots of details when it comes to assigning tasks to people, setting activity dates and specifying what's supposed to happen and who's supposed to make it happen. These details really matter. A business plan is wasted without it.

7. Don't sweat the details for the later years. This is about planning, not accounting, and you're only guessing the future in a system full of uncertainties. As important as monthly details are in the beginning, they become a waste of time later on. How can you project monthly cash for three years from now, when your sales forecast is so uncertain? Sure, you can plan in five, 10 or even 20-year horizons in the major conceptual text, but you can't plan in monthly detail past the first year. Nobody expects it, and nobody believes it.

8. Don't create absurdly optimistic "hockey stick projections" of sales taking off in the near future. Yes, it happens about once a generation, but nobody believes it in a business plan because they all say that. No investor is going to tell you they believe that even though your sales have been flat up to this point, once you have their money, your sales are going to go through the roof. If you've really created that once-in-a-generation business whose sales will take off, then you'd better build so much bottom-up detail into that forecast that even the most jaded investor will believe it.

9. Don't write too much. Keep your business plan short and focused on your main priorities. It's a business plan, not a doctoral thesis. Stick to the main points, and use bullet points to keep the main points highlighted and simple.

10. Don't sweat the formatting details. No business plan has ever failed because the page headers weren't color-coded. Don't dress up your plan with multiple fonts, too many colors or complex page layouts. Don't hide the important information. Keep it simple, and don't sweat the small stuff.

10 Secrets of Successful Entrepreneurs

Running a one-person business is a creative, flexible and challenging way to become your own boss and chart your own future. It is about creating a life, as it is about making a living. It takes courage, determination and foresight to decide to become an entrepreneur. From the relatively safe cocoon of the corporate world, where paychecks arrive regularly, you will be venturing into the unchartered territories of business. Is there a way to determine whether you can be a successful entrepreneur, or you are better off to work for somebody else? Alas, there is no formula for success. However, most successful entrepreneurs share these ten characteristics. Check if you possess any one of them: 1. Think success. To attain the kind of success that you want, you need to dream big. Every success story starts with big dreams. You need to have big dreams for yourself - which you want to be somebody rich, famous or fulfilled. You need to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve. But it doesn't stop in dreaming alone. You should actively visualize success in your mind that you can almost feel it, touch it or it is within your reach. Play this image back at every opportunity. What does it feel to triple your current income? How will your life change? What will your business look like if you achieved the million-dollar mark? Successful entrepreneurs possess an attitude of openness and faith that you can have what you want if you can simply envision it as the first step on the path of action to acquiring it. Management gurus have taught us the power of visualization - seeing yourself in your mind as having accomplished your dreams. If you want to be a successful writer, envision yourself signing books for a throng of people who have lined up to have your autograph. If you want to be rich, picture yourself in luxurious surroundings holding a fat bank account. And the process of envisioning success for you should be a constant activity! You need to think that you are successful (or will be one) every single waking hour. A personal development coach shared me her secret to help her continuously visualize her goals for the moment: when climbing stairs, recite your goal with every step you take. So if you want more money, say "I will have money" in every step of the stairs. This technique will reinforce your goal and keep it fresh in your consciousness.2. Be passionate with what you do. You start a business to change any or all part of your life. To attain this change, you need to develop or uncover an intense, personal passion to change the way things are and to live life to the fullest. Success comes easily if you love what you do. Why? Because we are more relentless in our pursuit of goals about things that we love. If you hate your job right now, do you think you will ever be successful at it? Not in a million years! You may plod along, even become competent at the tasks, but you will never be a great success at it. You will achieve peak performance and do what you have to do to succeed only if you are doing something that interests you or something that you care about. Entrepreneurs who succeed do not mind the fact that they are putting in 15 or 18 hours a day to their business because they absolutely love what they do. Success in business is all about patience and hard work, which can only be attained if you are passionate and crazy with your tasks and activities. 3. Focus on your strengths. Let's face it; you cannot be everything to everybody. Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses. To be effective, you need to identify your strengths and concentrate on it. You will become more successful if you are able to channel your efforts to areas that you do best. In business, for example, if you know you have good marketing instincts, then harness this strength and make full use of it. Seek help or assistance in areas that you may be poor at, such as accounting or bookkeeping. To transform your weakness to strength, consider taking hands-on learning or formal training. 4. Never consider the possibility of failure. Ayn Rand, in her novel The Fountainhead, wrote, "It is not in the nature of man - nor of any living entity, to start out by giving up." As an entrepreneur, you need to fully believe in your goals, and that you can do it. Think that what you are doing will contribute to the betterment of your environment and your personal self. You should have a strong faith in your idea, your capabilities and yourself. You must believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have the ability to recognize and fulfill them. The more you can develop faith in your ability to achieve your goals, the more rapidly you can attain it. However, your confidence should be balanced with calculated risks that you need to take to achieve greater rewards. Successful entrepreneurs are those who analyze and minimize risk in the pursuit of profit. As they always say, "no guts, no glory." 5. Plan accordingly. You have a vision, and you have enough faith in yourself to believe that you can achieve your vision. But do you know how to get to your vision? To achieve your vision, you need to have concrete goals that will provide the stepping-stone towards your ultimate vision. Put your goals in writing; not doing so just makes them as intangible fantasies. You need to plan each day in such a way that your every action contributes to the attainment of your vision. Do you foresee yourself as the next Martha Stewart of hand-made home furnishings? Perhaps today, you need to see an artist to help you conceptualize the new line of hand-made linens that you hope to launch. Intense goal orientation is the characteristic of every successful entrepreneur. They have a vision, and they know how to get there. Your ability to set goals and make plans for your accomplishment is the skill required to succeed. Plan, plan and plan - because without which failure is guaranteed. 6. Work hard! Every successful entrepreneur works hard, hard and hard. No one achieves success just by sitting and staring at the wall every single day. Brian Tracy puts it out this way, "You work eight hours per day for survival; everything over eight hours per day is for success." Ask any successful businessperson and they will tell you immediately that they had to work more than 60 hours per week at the start of their businesses. Be prepared to say goodbye to after-office drinks every day, or a regular weekend get-away trip. If you are in a start-up phase, you will have to breathe, eat and drink your business until it can stand on its own. Working hard will be easy if you have a vision, clear goals, and are passionate with what you do. 7. Constantly Look for Ways to Network. In business, you are judged by the company you keep - from your management team, board of directors, and strategic partners. Businesses always need assistance, more so small businesses. Maybe the lady you met in a trade association meeting can help you secure funding, or the gentleman at a conference can provide you with management advise. It is important to form alliances with people who can help you, and whom you can help in return. To succeed in business, you need to possess good networking skills and always be alert to opportunities to expand your contacts. 8. Willingness to Learn. You do not need to be a MBA degree holder or PhD graduate to succeed in your own business. In fact, there are a lot of entrepreneurs who did not even finishsecondary education. Studies show that most self-made millionaires have average intelligence. Nonetheless, these people reached their full potentials achieved their financial and personal goals in business because they are willing to learn. To succeed, you must be willing to ask questions, remain curious, interested and open to new knowledge. This willingness to learn becomes more crucial given the rapid changes in technologies and ways of doing business. 9. Persevere and have faith. No one said that the road to success is easy. Despite your good intentions and hard work, sometimes you will fail. Some successful entrepreneurs suffered setbacks and resounding defeats, even bankruptcy, yet managed to quickly stand up to make it big in their fields. Your courage to persist in the face of adversity and ability to bounce back after a temporary disappointment will assure your success. You must learn to pick yourself up and start all over again. Your persistence is the measure of the belief in yourself. Remember, if you persevere, nothing can stop you. 10. Discipline yourself. Thomas Huxley once said, "Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you like it or not." Self-discipline is the key to success. The strength of will to force yourself to pay the price of success - doing what others don't like to do, going the extra mile, fighting and winning the lonely battle with yourself.

4 secrets every online writer should know

1. Writing for free makes you look unprofessional. 2. You can create your own writing samples. 3. If you’re going to write for the web, learn about SEO. 4. Freelance jobs that offer to pay you in ad revenue will earn you little to nothing.

Competition for online freelance writing, for beginners as well as for experienced writers, is fierce. If you’re a new writer just starting a freelance career, you’re probably feeling a little bit frustrated.   How’s a new writer to get a break? Here are some essential tips for successful online freelance writing for beginners.

1. Writing for free makes you look unprofessional. When visiting job boards, you’ll find hundreds of non-paying gigs. These are ads targeted to new freelance writers, and they all say something like, “Although this is a non-paying gig, you’ll get plenty of experience and exposure.” Really, they’re just looking for a hand-out. Any professional editor or potential client who sees these types of clips listed on your resume will not be impressed, since most publications looking for writers to work for free aren’t professional publications. They will publish practically anything, because no professional quality writer would think of giving their work away to them without payment. If you want to volunteer your time and skills, then write for a respected charity in exchange for a published clip which really will look good on your resume.

2. You can create your own writing samples. Most online writing job ads state that they want to see clips or writing samples. One of the easiest ways to create your own writing samples is to start your own website or blog and use it to write about topics you’re interested in getting paid to write about. Then, when you apply for freelance writing jobs, you can include a link to a relevant article on your site or blog. You’ll find that many potential employers are more interested in seeing your writing style and ability to cover a topic than they are in whether you’ve written for big name publications.

3. If you’re going to write for the web, learn about SEO. These days, most people who want to hire a freelance writer to write for their websites are looking for writers who understand search engine optimization. Website owners want people using search engines to find their sites. To do this, the website content must include the keywords people are searching for. For freelance writers, this means learning to incorporate keywords into their writing. Writing a keyword-optimized article is much more difficult than just writing a straight article, because you’ll have to incorporate some tricky phrases into the text in a way that makes sense. Before you start applying for web writing jobs, you’ll probably want to familiarize yourself with SEO and practice writing a few keyword articles for your own website.

 A new trend for website and blog owners is to hire writers and offer to pay them a percentage of advertising revenue.   Trouble is, anyone who doesn’t have enough money to pay a writer is probably running a very new site or blog, and they don’t have money to pay for advertising either.Usually, the reason they offer ad revenue as payment is because they don’t have the money to pay a writer. This means that there will be very few visitors coming to this website, and little to no traffic means no one will be there to click on the ads. Thus, there will be little to no ad revenue to be earned. A website needs to have hundreds of thousands of visitors per day to bring in even a few hundred dollars per month in ad revenue.
