How To Earn

I want to share with you what I believe is the easiest way that anyone can earn a full time, 6 figure income online WITHOUT gurus, gadgets, gimmicks or any real “goofiness” at all.

But before I do, I want to share a few thoughts with you that I hope you’ll find valuable as well.

You don’t need to buy any expensive products or programs to succeed online.

You don’t need a big budget for pay per click ads.
You don’t need to find “fake friends” on the social networks, or pretend to be someone you’re not to have tremendous online success

In some sense, like one of my favorite “far East” philosophers used to say:

“You are perfect right now, exactly how you are”

Because when it comes to earning a 6 figure income online, the only REAL thing I truly believe you need is PASSION.

(and a plan of course, to parlay that passion into profit!)

The plan is actually quite simple. And while there are some technical considerations, and a little bit more to it than what I can reasonably cover in this small space, the underlying elements are EXACTLY as I lay out immediately below, and anyone who truly wants to test this can do so TODAY with no experience, no budget and nothing other than a willingness to work.

I call it the Content Community Continuum, and it works like this:

Step 1: Pick your PASSION. (what is it that makes YOU come alive?) Identify this, discard the distractions, and make what you love your primary focus.

Step 2: Create COPIOUS amounts of killer content around what it is that you LOVE! (This is unfortunately the step that most folks find most challenging, but it’s very easy, and this article is actually an example of this idea in action)

Step 3: Use your content (as above) to build a community. You do this by turning your readers into subscribers. (and ultimately, by turning your subscribers into fans, friends, followers and EVANGELISTS for your blog, your business, your brand….and ultimately, your bank account to boot!)

Step #4: Create a blog that has a community theme or vibe, and that allows your readers to create content FOR you. I like Q and A style blogs that can easily be created using WordPress, simply because they are very inexpensive to launch (under $40) and provide a place for other people who have PASSION about your niche to engage and interact with you, your authority and expertise.

Step 5: Create a CURRICULUM around what your community wants! How? Ask them what they want, or simply watch the questions they create on your blog above, and create training materials that address their needs, and allow you to PROFIT from your passion!

It really is that easy, and while there are a few little things you’ve got to implement and understand to really make this work well, the simple steps above will get you 90% of the way to where you want to be….and the small details you’ll get figured out along the way.

Turning all of this into a $100,000 income stream is actually very simple. You just need to price your products, your services and your offers in such a way as they allow you achieve your income objectives.

If you do the 5 steps well, finding 100 people over the course of a year who will pay you $1000 for your gifts, your PASSION, your enthusiasm and your natural gifts is very easy in most markets, niches and industries…and I have yet to find one that this approach didn’t work as well!

I truly believe that this is the easiest, most elegant and natural way for ordinary people like you and I to achieve extraordinary things. To be able to contribute, to give back….and to prosper and profit while making a HUGE difference to an engaged audience is a gift that keeps on giving, and I wish for you the very same success every step of the way.

Blogging is an activity that promotes sharing of knowledge and ideas on the Internet for the purpose of attracting the attention of the viewing public. There are two major reasons that move individuals to put up blogs on their own. These may either be due to personal reasons or business-related motives.

Blogging opens up a lot of opportunities to those who know how to seek it. If you are planning on starting a full time or part time career on this field, you need to keep track of the following tips:

1. Know how the SEO works. SEO or Search Engine Optimization is a tool on the Internet that specifically takes charge on how search engines work the moment viewers type a certain query on the search button. Along with SEO, knowing what keywords to use in your articles can help your topics become “searchable” and visible on search engine results. One way to ensure this happens is by utilizing different programs (a common example is Google Adwords) that provide a list of common words that are highly searched on the Internet.

2. Create an ideal affiliate program.There are different affiliate programs to choose from especially if you want to link other sites, advertisements and products on your topics. Common ones include pay-per-click, pay-per-sale and pay-per-lead programs. A link found in your articles gives viewers a chance to click on them and be directed to another site where they can sign up, purchase items or just merely check out what these sites have to offer.

3. Improve the quality of your work.This is of course an imperative especially if you want to attract more viewers. The public can specifically identify if a topic is lame or interesting, biased or neutral, poorly written or of good quality. The moment they are impressed, there are better chances for them to check your site out more often. This gives your site more traffic and hits to make it to the top of search engines. This will give you more opportunities when it comes to income generation.

4. Donations, anyone? Yes, it is possible to collect donations from your blogs. As queer as it sounds, there are still loyal subscribers who have enough money to spare for some donations. These are your viewers who are highly impressed with how you write and share your information. Although they may donate a small amount of money, when compounded with the others, you will find that the amount is a good one to humbly start a blogging career.

The main reason why people start blogs and/or websites is to make some money. Most of us are realistic enough to know that we won’t make thousands of dollars in our first week, or indeed in a year, we are happy making a few extra bucks a month for our time telling the world about our particular areas of expertise, hobbies or whatever.

When blogging first came on the internet scene, the sites were more like collections of emails in real time; you could talk to people with the same interests, without the inconvenience of going back and forth to your email program. They were very rudimentary but I guess they were the birth of what we know as social media sites today, and of course they have become far more sophisticated.

WordPress changed everything in the world of blogging, now you can do anything on a blog you could only do before on a very expensively made website, and of course there is always the opportunity to make a few dollars as well. Indeed, some people who have been blogging for years have grown wealthy. WordPress offers free layouts for everyone, including blogs specifically designed for photographers, online store layouts and designs and layouts to suit any business imaginable. With the myriad of plugins that you can get, most of which are free to use, you can also ad widgets specifically designed for whatever kind of advertising you want.

The main ways to make advertising commission is to try:

Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is simple. If your blog is about growing vegetables, you could become an Amazon affiliate and promote anything from a packet of seeds to a tractor, including books on the subject of growing vegetables. You could join many of the other thousands of companies that offer affiliate commissions; you may find a company that will give you a commission for offering their plants for sale on your blog. It’s so easy it’s crazy. You don’t do a thing, except put the ad on your site, and you get a commission from every sale. To make a substantial income from affiliate – or any other kind of internet marketing for that matter, is to work on getting more targeted traffic to your site, because traffic = money.

Sell Your Own Stuff

Whether you make bird houses or write eBooks, a blog is the perfect place to talk about it and sell it. You do all the work, but you also get all the money, unlike affiliate marketing where you only get a percentage of the sale. Still, many folks make excellent incomes from selling eBooks and digitally delivered products which only involves creating the product. The great thing about selling your own products is you can still include affiliate marketing on your site and AdSense ads too. You can’t lose, unless you don’t have any traffic! Again, traffic is the lifeblood of any site, so that’s where the work comes in.

Contextual Advertising

This is another way to get a little commission on any site, although some advertisers have in their rules that you should not have any of XYZ’s ads on your site, check their rules before you sign up. If you have been on a website where odd words in articles are underlined in blue, and a little advertising box pops up, that’s contextual advertising.

Banner Ads

There are places you can find banners and ads for other companies, some are banner exchange sites where you give them your advertising banner to place on their sites, and they reciprocate. You can also rent space on your site and offer to host other people’s banners and ads for a monthly fee, but they won’t look at you twice until you have a high PR ranking and your blog has a lot of daily traffic.

As you can see, the main thread to making money with a blog is traffic, without it your blog is DOA and won’t make a bean. There are dozens of ways of getting traffic and backlinks and if you are not sure what they are take some time to do some research online – there really is no need to buy guru courses that give you the “secrets” of getting traffic. There are no secrets online!

As a word of caution whatever kind of advertising you do choose, make sure it is relevant to your particular niche. If you see ads from direct competitors appearing on your blog there are ways to stop that, find out immediately and fix the problem, as you could be losing business. With Adsense ads it’s easy to go in and block ads from certain companies if they are in direct competition, or if those ads are irrelevant to your niche.
