Make money online: The best approach.

Need to make money online ?

If you are anything like me, you have spent a considerable amount of time looking for a way to make money online.
Perhaps you have checked out online paid surveys or data entry jobs, but the question always remains:

Which is the best approach to make money online which is more profitable than getting paid for the amount of hours you spend in front of the computer ?

Well, I am about to reveal the best approach to make money online which creates a form of income that will continue to pay you even when you are away from your computer.

It's called passive income and you do it buy building a website which sells other people's products and supplies you with affiliate commissions.

We'll discuss how in 4 steps : research a topic, create a website which advertises products in your chosen niche, attract targeted buying visitors to your website, supply those visitors with affiliate links so they can click, buy and generate passive income for you.

Steps

1. Research a profitable topic
   Research a topic which interests you as you will spend some time writing about it.
   Find keywords in this 'niche' which have high demand.
   Not just any demand, the demand must be related to 'buying' searchers.


2. Build a website
   Build a website based on your researched niche and profitable keywords.
   Make sure the website is Search Engine friendly by optimizing the onpage criteria.
   If you think that building a website is above your technical skills, think again.
   With the availability of content management software such as Wordpress, even an 11-year old can do it.
   (Rosalind Gardner's Super Affiliate Handbook goes into great detail about this)


3. Marketing
   Market your site to the search engines so that you can be listed high up in the search engine results pages (SERPS) and attract those buying searchers.
   This involves building links to your site, using Web 2.0 marketing methods, making sure the search engines can find and list your site and building a trust relationship with your visitors so they come back to buy more of your endorsed products.


4. Earn money
   Cash your affiliate checks !
   Whether you monetized your website by advertising affiliate links or Google Ads, once you start getting traffic to your site, the money will start rolling in.
   No, it will not be instantaneous: the search engines need to index your site and this takes time, but if you did a good job of marketing your site by building links in the right places, it will be sooner than you think.
   As your traffic grows, so will your paycheck.

Where to from here ?

Finding the best way to make money online should involve a method which does not pay you directly for the amount of time you spend in front of the computer.

The best guide I have read in a long while about creating an affiliate marketing business is Rosalind Gardner's Super Affiliate Handbook
