Free Money For Life! Okay-no fair, that was the attention grabber but the assumption behind it is valid. The assumption being that you want to make some money on the net and what you have been trying thus far hasn't been working. I can tell you what worked or I should say is starting to work for me. It might work for you, nothing is definite, if you follow the steps outlined in this article. This is not advice that I haven't used myself and you can feel free to enhance this advice in any way you see fit. It is your dream after all. I can tell you how to make money online without a website and a product. This is something you have probably heard about called Affiliate Marketing. With affiliate marketing, you promote the products of others while they pay you and take care of the messy financial matters. All you have to do is promote, promote, promote! I will tell you how I began to see results, how I did it. This is not an "I got rich" story but it is an I'm on my way to being rich story. It just takes a little time and hard work. Don't expect to get rich if you don't work for it and don't expect anything to happen over night that takes planning and foresight. Below is my easy step guide to affiliate marketing. Take your time and modify it to suit your purposes.

Find Your Niche

When I lost my job I decided to be a writer. I am a writer now but that doesn't really pay much at first. I looked to the Internet for a quick business to start after first trying my hand at complicated business strategies that would take years of work and more education than I had or even wanted. All I got for my trouble was a lot of stress and frustration. All the while I had been reading articles affiliate marketing and I believed that it worked, I just didn't want to sell anything. Wake up call. If you want to be in business and make money, YOU HAVE TO SELL SOMETHING! Whether it is your product or not, selling is the only way to make money. Simply going for a job interview is selling, yourself. How else do you think you'll get the job? When things got desperate I decided to get off my high horse and sell. I wanted a website so I looked around for a way that I could Build A Niche Store. That didn't work for me because most of the places I looked had products that didn't really interest me. If you can't interest yourself in a product, you won't be able to interest any one else either.

Find Your Product

I decided that I wanted to be a sort of loner and do my affiliate marketing on the fly. No website, no hassle. I looked around for the one product that would interest my and even tried to promote a few, one at a time. I looked at such businesses as Hot Niche In CB Betsearch and Clickbank and I actually made a few dollars here and there by manually submitting my affiliate links to people I knew but that lasted only a short while. I decided that what I needed was a way to promote more products to a wider audience. I also found my niche, Internet Marketing, amongst a few other small niches. My next step was to use a method to attract potential customers to use my link instead of the trillion other links out there waiting to be clicked on. All the experts said to give away something and make it viral. What they meant was give something free but sell while doing it.

Free Reports

We live in the age of information but everyone wants to have it and not many want to create it. I felt the same way at the time as well as feeling pressed for time to make my mark and a buck. Legally Steal Your Way To Fortunes was a way for me to initially get free reports to use to attract potential customers to use my link or my affiliate email address. I needed one more enticement, so I felt, and I knew from being a Internet surfer and consumer myself that ebooks are a big market.

Free ebooks

During this whole time I was still promoting what products that I wanted to promote and bringing in a few dollars a month but I was gearing up towards something bigger. I was starting to think about a website again because I knew that when my product promotions really took off I would need to start keeping a list of customers emails and such. You will find that if a person is interested enough to look that they may be interested enough to buy with the proper enticement. Everyone and his or her mother and father is trying to make money online. Those with websites know that having an ever expanding opt-in list is vital to growth and success. I read How I Got 1,124 Subscribers In One Week! and it gave me ideas to not only help my self gain customers but to entice other webmasters to use and promote my products for me, For Free! This I did my writing articles such as this. Everyone needs content. The web is all about content, information and information sells. There is an uncountable, for me, amount of venues online that you can post your viral marketing articles or advertisements on and produce interests, traffic and revenue. Your on one right now. They all have similar but different rules and formatting conventions but usually there is a way to submit your content and you links or ad without going against the grain.

Free Software

Another freebie I like to promote since everyone on the net has or uses a computer is free software. There are a million of places if not more where you can get Software Downloads to help you pump up your customer attraction. I started to use variations on how I could attract new prospects and this was one of them

Articles And Forums

I spent 10 to 12 hours a day on my computer writing and submitting articles until I devised a strategy similar to the 30 Minute Article Writing System to help me speed up the process. Trying to produce Free Traffic From Forums, (because by this time I started making enough money to need a stable website) was tedious but eventually worthwhile. If I was going to writing all these articles and visiting all these forums I needed a place to handle all the traffic and I needed something to do all of the work once I set it up. This is still a work in progress but I'm sure It will work. What I'm talking about is autoresponders.

Get A Free Autoresponder

With all of the different tacts I had tried and the free reports software, etc. I had accumulated information about, I figured it was time to set something up to disseminate this information easily and give me a break. Making Money With Autoresponders was the path I chose and I think it will be the best. Autoresponders allow you to automate your sales pitches to potential customers who actually seek you out. This increases your chances to make a sale and If they are satisfied you may have a repeat customer. The great thing is that once they sign up, all you have to do is update your autoresponders messages to make sure that you keep them satisfied and informed about what you are offering.

I am not by any means a really organized person and as I think back on how things have gone so far, I realize that I may have used some good strategies but poor implementation at times. I wouldn't change it for the world. I have learned a lot that will serve me in the bright future I see coming my way. I earned it. I am now busy playing around in a sense with autoresponders, free and paid. This is the way I learn. when I am through I will have my A game going and then I will write an update to this article. Hopefully it will be more informative, definitive and concise.

Promote Your Product

When you start to see the fruits of your labors, don't get complacent and forget to keep promoting. InetGiant is one place that I have found to help with this, check them out. The better you do, the better you will have to do. Find ways to lessen your manual work so that you can work on the creative side of sending what the consumer wants to them. Personally, I think that if you follow this outline that you will be a success. Make sure you plan, something I am not too big on but wish that I was. Planning can make or break you and help you avoid many common pitfalls. You will make mistakes even with planning and advice or research but they should be fewer and less costly.
