Alright, let’s start. On the internet you can find a lot of ways and or how some people call them “methods” to make money. To make it easier for beginners I set a side few of them that work. Of course to earn money you have to provide value to others – simple as that. That is even what you usually see within salesman's and marketers – they want to present to you the need for their product/service which leads to them giving value to you with their product for another value, value in money.
Starting with no money means more time is needed to make money
You should make this clear in your mind : The less money you have the more time is needed to get to the destination that you feel is right. Which translates to if you have money you can go and for instance market your product/service via paid ads etc. which has the possibility to convert and get in-front of more people that might need you product or service. But when you are starting fresh you have to do few things manually and maybe do the “boring stuff” that take TIME that some people don’t want to do but know are necessary to go to the next step.
As TIME is the most valuable thing that we have in this world, use it wisely. Spend it the right way because you can’t make more of it. Be willing to try few things and most important part is to STICK with what you chose to do for at least 6 months – 1 year, not just to stick with it but to educate yourself everyday about that what you want to be able to change your approach and plans to get you to your destination of your choice.
You will notice that the tittle is not something like earn XXX amount of money in a day for beginners and put my affiliate links somewhere to get money out of you. Why is that? Because this what I am talking about is far from EASY it MIGHT be SIMPLE at least the concept of it but it requires a lot of effort from your side. Most people don’t go far because of the fact that they are trying to get rich quick , they don’t understand that it takes time – specially with very low budget or no budget at all, they have wrong perception of how the world works and it is wrong and they are telling themselves “One day I will do it” with that they never coming – they are simply procrastinators and do not understand how to control it or are not willing to.
Okay enough of introduction, let’s start with the key parts – ways to earn money
Affiliate Marketing [AM] & Cost Per Action [CPA]
I am sure that you have encountered Affiliate Marketing or maybe you had took part in it at some point in your life. For those of you who don’t know what it is let me explain… Basically companies that want to market their products and services often times will pay you if you can bring them more customers. What they can pay you really depends as it can be in the type of money, percentage of the price that people bought via your link or any other way such as giving you for free their products/services if you get enough people to spend money with them via your link etc.
One of the best examples of this is if you go and search for instance “Best VPN 2019” you are going to find a lot of websites that share affiliate links with a lot of providers so that they earn by selling you to sign up with a VPN provider.
CPA : Are catchy thing a side from doing affiliate marketing. Although CPA networks are usually more strict with their rules than an ordinary affiliates, this means that it could not be an easy thing to join them. Mostly if you are looking to spam and scam people it will be hard to get into CPA as many main CPA networks would not allow such activity. Basically with CPA will pay you for the action taken as direct result of your marketing. Sometimes you don’t need to even get a sale to get started. Usually you will generate leads for other people such as getting customer information in form of phone/email etc.
Few websites : MaxBounty, Peerfl, Crakrevenue, CPAgrip, adworkmedia, CPAbuild, OGads.
Free ways where you can promote AF and CPA:
Remember always try to provide the value to the reader, the last thing you want is that other people feel like they are getting spammed by you or even worse that you want to scam them and only want their money out of their pockets etc.
Having you own unique blog!
- There are websites such as Wix, Weebly, wordpress.com... that will enable you to start a blog although you will need to have the website under their subdomain. Or yet you can post these on steem!
- If you have a bit of money to invest here getting the domain name or yet even hosting is not so bad idea at all. Free hosting can be done via amazon free trial for 1year – you can create wordpress website with few tutorials found on youtube, no need to code it from ground up. Other alternative if you understand a bit of coding and want to host your website for free via github, gitlab or other providers you could check static website generators such as jekyll and Hugo to name a few. And of course you have some companies that will opt to host you website for free or as a trial period.
- There are ways to even get free domain names from freenom for instance but I wouldn’t advise you to go for free option specially in the long run as you can find domains under the 10$, can even search for coupons to get discounts...
Having your website will make you think how to drive traffic to my website? Then slowly you will want to learn about SEO – Search Engine Optimization, basically what you have to do in order to show as a #1 suggestion from google, and maybe yet even making the social profiles slowly where you want to reach to your audience, people etc. Which will overall make you to learn new things and understand how internet marketing works.
What is popular over the years for instance is to create specialized websites to advertise products from Amazon store as they offer affiliate program. So if anybody buys from your link you earn some small commission. Which means you could start to review items there and maybe even make a lists such as “Top Best Phones To Buy In 2019”.
Basically you can chose a niche for instance writing everything about computers – online world, writing about android, iPhone, gadgets, mobile phones, woman & man beauty products etc. and find relevant companies that offer affiliate programs. Then try to write articles about them and include your links.
Another good benefit of having your own blog/website is that you could even add google ads for instance and put them across your website and earn more income by this way.
Going Big On Social Media - Use It To Market AF/CPA
1. Facebook
What can you do on FB you may ask? You can start a fan page related to some niche or yet create your own group and join other groups. But please don’t go there with the aim to spam it till death with your links until your account gets banned from other groups or until nobody wants to join your own group and follow your fan page. You should note that FB does not allow URL shortens such as adfly because you can take a profit from them and many people find it annoying to need to watch the add in order to simply go to the desired website that you linked out there. What you can do here is to have some sort of a landing page, landing page is your lets say sales page – google it; or put a links to your blog post when somebody asks something relevant that you have explained on your blog already or when you write something that can provide huge value to readers in a group, followers of your fan page you can link them that.
Again please don’t go around and spam with your links as such actions will definitely result in yourself getting banned from groups. Act like an adult and see how to provide value to them, not how to spam people.
If you want to go with the route of creating your own fan page on FB then make sure to have nice looking logo + banner and to provide VALUE to people. Even by linking things straight from the internet or by simply giving them links to your blog post if you have some.
Do casual replies to people as you don’t want them to see that you are there for money and to spam them till death.
2. Instagram
Well IG speaks for itself as it is one of the most successful platforms due date, because it was made for mobile and many people are using phones. They don’t say for no reason image speaks a million words... With pictures and videos being really easy content to consume by people and hey it is for mobile from the start! You don’t want to start to sell right away on IG, you can create a fan account – like a fan page on FB for certain topic. Simply start to provide high quality photos or even better if you can produce content for IGTV etc. At first you want to see to build trust from people, you do this by increasing your follower count. Try to post regularly, few times per day and to be active to like and comment on other posts… Simply lookup famous accounts and see what they are doing and try to replicate that. Remember it takes time to grow on IG. When you are ready to advertise again don’t post direct AF/CPA links in your bio, but create a landing page/website/blog and link them that, then from these you can give them offers – try to get them to do something so that you earn money.
3. Youtube
This might be a bit harder for some people but it is well worth it – takes time again. You can for instance start a channel to do reviews of the products that you are interested in and provide amazon AF links etc. Or try to build yourself as an influencer and if done right you could end up in a really nice place over the course of years. Remember you are not alone as there are a lot of people trying this out, try to stand out from the crowd by having something unique, that is unique to you. If you need an inspiration you can lookup famous youtube channels and see what they do, how do they do it etc. You can for instance create educational videos with whiteboard drawing etc. see what best suits for you.
4. Quora
You’ve already probably noticed by now that when you search for certain answers on Quora there are a lot of people that simply write long posts trying their best to explain everything they can and then include AF/CPA link at the end. Why is that? Simply they are trying to make you spend money on the thing you are looking for. If you are on Quora it means you have some problem to solve which makes it great for advertising as their public is huge. While doing internet marketing you need to try to be as professional as you can because people need to see you as a legit person. On Quora it is of real importance to have high quality photo and well written bio along side decent conditionals.
What you want to do here is to go and reply to as many questions where you can fit your website/blog/landing page or yet even offers. Try to give really clear answer and if possible to be in depth but that people can understand it and provide the link somewhere in the reply. Don’t try to copy and paste your answer all the time but rather go and rewrite it few times if you find similar questions.
5. Blog replies – forum replies
On some forums it is available for you to put an signature that will be visible on every post that you post. Use this to put your landing page – website – blog link. Try to provide well written and constructive replies and follow the conversation happening and if you see the opportunity to post the link without the need to spam it, feel free to do so. For starting on niche related forums you don’t want to put signature and to share links right away, but rather first try to build up your profile slowly. Same applies to Blog replies try to provide again VALUE in your replies.
You Surely Can Do Things That Others Need
If you want to offer yourself as a service try these: reddit.com/r/slavelabor, fiverr and upwork – these can get you started try to find what is unique about all of them. Everything applies like for Quora high quality profile pic with good bio etc. you want to look professionally.
You could create courses on Udemy or create physical items and sell them on Etsy.
Wrapping Up This Long Post
This post might be a bit longer for some people and yet it is not enough to explain everything about each of social media platforms nor for every way that you can utilize to start producing your income online. If I were to write everything it will probably be needed from my side to write a book and not to mention it might take a lot of time to finish. I just hope that you’ve got some general ideas of that you can use TODAY to start to experiment and to search about these and educate yourself more.
Remember when starting out you will need to invest A LOT OF TIME and you have to be willing to build the things up before you see some real money. Don’t give up, because many people try but at the end they don’t want to finish what they’ve started and they move to another thing and then their life passes because they were unable to stick to the one thing and do that thing right. Do this right, do this professionally.
