How to Make Money Online: A Simple Tutorial for New Internet Marketers

WHO THIS EBOOK IS FOR

This ebook is for new internet marketers, eg:

Newbies trying to make money blogging;

Or trying their hand at affiliate marketing;

Or website owners who want more traffic;

Or in short, anyone who wants to make money online – but are utterly and completely lost as to where to start and how to go about it.

If this sounds like you, then the information here can help. Why/how? Because it covers the foundational elements you need to know to start making money online. Many newbies flounder for years – and give up on ever making money online – because they never take the time to learn the foundation of how to make money on the web.

HOW LEARNING THE BASICS OF SEO / INTERNET MARKETING HAS HELPED ME TO MAKE MY LIVING COMPLETELY ONLINE SINCE 2007

I’ve been a freelance writer since 1993. In 2007, my internet marketing career took off when I learned about SEO (search engine optimization) writing. Why? Because it taught me the intricacies of how the web works.

Once I realized that my writing was helping clients to push their sites to the top of search engines, I thought, “I can use this knowledge to do the same for my sites!” And I did -- creating three primary income streams, ie:

(i) Writing and self-publishing ebooks;

(ii) Affiliate marketing; and

(iii) Niche website publishing, ie, minisite income from Google AdSense.

All of this started with learning the basics of SEO; the same info discussed here. Once I had this foundational knowledge under my belt, it opened up a whole new world of possibilities. I branched out from writing for clients to building my own virtual business.

BE FREE TO LIVE THE LIFE YOU WANT TO LIVE

I can make a living on the web from anywhere I please (as long as there’s an internet connection). This is liberating in more ways than one because so many barriers are removed, ie:

My race (racism) doesn’t matter;

My age (ageism) doesn’t matter;

My education (elitism) level doesn’t matter; and

My gender (sexism) doesn’t matter.

The only thing that matters is that I know how to market online. You can learn how to do the same.
