As already said by Guru Kenneth, please stay away from Get Rich Quick schemes. Link building (unique valuable content powered by SEO) and/ List building should be our focus. Ofcourse leverage does help always. So having our own affiliate program to sell our own product/service is a sure-fire way to make money online. But Business needs to be treated like business. Many people treat it like a hobby and keep spending for their hobby.

Yes, all programs that need new members to join for old members to get paid are ponzi schemes. I dont want to take their names but you can guess them when I say they advertise “No recruiting” on the lucrative lead capture page with some Bonus pool figure increasing like Taxi meter

I am of the opinion that one of the best ways to really earn substantial money online is to create your own product and create an affiliate program so that your affiliates can earn from your product while also providing you with automatic income.

These MLM programs that pop up everywhere should be avoided at all costs.

You will never see a true online marketer (aka “guru”) promote one of these junk programs to their list(s). They will promote products and membership sites that will help their subscribers become successful online. This builds trust and respect, which in turn rightfully earns the sender commissions.

Great response Kenneth!

Well said, Kenneth!

You are indeed a great guru in this area.

I always agreed with you that Pay-Per-Click is not suitable for newbies. This is what I advised my members too.

As for money-making program, I strongly believed and suggest that newbies should start off with affiliate marketing first.

Affiliate marketing is the most simple and easy way to earn.

Great stuff,helps me to know which affiliate program to pick.
Super comment Ron!

Hi everybody, good morning

To me, the best lesson is our experience in online business and we can make judgement whether a particular strategy works or not work to us. For PPC, I only believe in “Adword” from Google, not from other parties. If you do, you are wasting your money easily.

Hi World Economy Blog,

I agreed with your saying.

As most of us know that Yahoo had launched their own PPC as well. I decided to give it a try and found out the following:

Yahoo’s conversion is higher. Need to pay lesser for the bid. Also more clicks more than google, but cheaper than google.

Mainly I think Yahoo is pretty new, that why not many people is using that. However, few years down the road, Yahoo is going to be same as google.

Have to bid more in order to get in the top page.

Another great post Kenneth,

When I first started out I lost £100’s on ppc marketing and had nothing in return. The competition is fierce and finding a profitable niche is proving increasingly difficult. The key is to research and test multiple niche’s, don’t put all your eggs in one basket! I use ad spying like you mentioned, it’s not cheap, but it does help with finding them golden nuggetts.

With regards to get rich schemes, there isnt any! Before you go into anything make sure you do your research, google it, check out what people are saying about it on the forums etc, but I also agree that there are not many scams. Usually when somebody calls a product or service a scam, its because they fail with the product or service, listen to what others say about it.

To your success,

Thanks Kenneth,
I totally agree with you on the facts about making good money online, and on the use of pay per click,
Pay per click advertising method is not advisable for newbies except it one has fully understood it.

Thanks again Kenneth

Some tips for making money online.

SEO is the most effective and efficient way of getting free traffic, the only drawback is that it takes time. The next option would be traffic exchange; very effective, relatively fast, major drawback is the quality of the traffic.

I’ve been trying all forums of advertising and yes u do get visitors but i haven’t been able to get the high triffic from any of them that you hear of as of yet.

The biggest mistake PPC newbie marketers ( including myself at the beginning ) make is trying to promote saturated products. Newbies often lack necessary information and technical knowledge. They tend to promote products that are old and over-sold. Then they often overlook the necessity to do some calculations about PPC bidding prices, CTR and sales. They just believe what was written ( the testimonials and clickbank commission figures ) on that sales page of the product and end up burning their fingers. So, instead of clickbank products, try to find products at some other places or better still try to get closer to a guru and get some information about his next product or current trends. Normally they tell you all their secrets only after exhausting them. So try to get those secrets beforehand.

If you use the experts to learn then you can progress at you own pace. Some of the experts will teach you for little or no money. On my site I outline how a newbie can learn and refer to many of the experts on how to get to the next level. There are ideas on pay per click, using banner ads, Google placement advertising and more. Take a peek if your interested.

Earn while you learn.

search engine optimisation is the most effective and efficient manner of getting free site visitors, the only disadvantage is that it takes time. The next choice could be site visitors exchange; very efficient, comparatively quick, main downside is the quality of the traffic.

I’ve been attempting all boards of promoting and yes u do get visitors but i haven’t been in a position to get the excessive triffic from any of them that you hear of as of yet.
