If you are a complete newbie to online marketing and what you really need is a quick beginners guide to making money online, then you've reached the right place. In one article, I'll tell you how you can start making money today.
Create A Blog
You can have your own blog and for free. I recommend to write a blog about a hobby eg golf, or a health problem that you may have suffered from eg acne.
Go to Blogger.com and you can easily create a blog, it takes only 5 minutes for even a complete beginner.
Affiliate Programs
You're going to make money by referring people to product websites eg "how to improve your golf swing". You can find the best and most popular ones that are proven to make you money if you refer people, at Clickbank.com.
Just visit them and sign up. You'll learn how to create your own unique referral link for the thousands of products that they have.
Content Is King
Now you need to write content on your blog. Write at least one page of fresh content every week. That may sound hard to you if you've never written a book or since high school.
Do not worry about that! It will become second nature very quickly! Like this article I'm writing right now, it actually comes easily to me and yet I scored an "F" for English at school!
Link To Your Referral Program
Within your content, recommend the reader to check out your product site eg "To find out more about curing your acne, click here" and then insert your own referral link. You'll find that you'll make, on average, about a dollar per click.
Get Traffic To Your Site
So you've got content and you've got your referral links just ready for people to click on. Now you just need visitors to your site.
The best way to get quality and converting traffic is to write an article just like this one. Write an article about your subject that is useful and interesting and at the end of it, ask people to check out your site. Then Submit your article to article directories, just like this site (EzineArticles is the best!).
