"Make money! $10,000 In One Day - No Way!"
Are you spammed by such claims daily? You know they're ridiculous! But then, there ARE many home business entrepreneurs who are making money online.
If you're serious about learning how to make money on the internet, and serious about setting up a REAL online business, you'll soon discover a PROVEN system you can follow to do just that!
Fact is, you CAN make money out of 'thin air' on the internet. But how? Well, you do need to put in some amount of investment, sheer work, persistence and patience to set it up first.
People who are making extra income online made it not by chance, but preparation and effort.
Fortunately, there is a proven FORMULA you can duplicate for your own online success!
To be fair, it is nothing secretive. In fact, it is basic to some extent. But I hope someone had shared it with you before...if not, you're at the right place! If yes, perhaps it can act as a reminder to you on the proper steps to take to make that money?
Most money are made online from selling products directly via your own website, or through eBay.
For the purpose of this article, I'm going to focus on selling info-products from your own website - and it's almost magical the way this can spill cash into your hands.
So let's get started on the basic system you'll need to set up to start your own info-product business from home!
= How Do You Make Money On The Internet? =
1. You need a Domain Name!
Brand yourself on the web! People know you by your name, now people need to know you by your *domain* name online. It's what your website's called. YES, you do need your own website to do basic business here.
For more info on getting a powerful domain name, read my article "5 Super Easy Secrets To A Winning Domain Name" by sending a blank email now to mailto:domainnamearticle@sendfree.com
Two great domain name registrars to snare that dream name at a good price are :
- http://www.stargateinc.com - $7.95/year - http://www.powerpipe.com - $7.95/year
2. Your Domain Needs A Home!
I'm referring of course to web hosting.
Now if you just do a quick search for "web hosting" at http://www.google.com, you'll be lost for choice and definitely confused as to a reliable and economical web hosting provider...there're almost 3.9 MILLION choices out there!
I'm not exactly an expert on web hosting, but what I can do is point you to three providers I've used for my own sites. They provide value-for-money and reliable hosting :
- http://homehost.amazingresult.com - http://mister.amazingresult.com - http://super.amazingresult.com
3. You Need To Collect Your Money!
When you're in control of your own info-product business from YOUR OWN website, you'll need a merchant account or a way to accept payments online. This is different from promoting an affiliate program where the program owners pay you. Here, you're the boss and you make the money : )
I know it sounds threatening, but don't worry, here's a super easy place to get started fast :
- http://www.clickbank.com
ClickBank IS the recognized online digital product payment solution provider. Through them, you can begin accepting payments via credit cards AND online checks without need for a merchant account!
They provide a completely hassle-free and reliable service that has so far seen no worthy competition.
Note that ClickBank has a ONE-TIME $49.95 activation fee, though there are no monthly fees.
4. You Need Products To Make Money From!
The internet sure is one BIG marketplace to make you money...
eMarketer estimates that the number of internet users will reach 565 million people worldwide by the end of 2002. While according to Forrester, total online retail sales in the US alone amounted to USD47.6 billion in 2001, up from USD42.4 billion in 2000!
It's that big a pie, and it's - continued below ...

growing, so grab your fair share!
Selling info-product is one proven way, in fact it's one of the biggest money-spinners there is.
How do you get started? Well, you need fresh, in-demand, profit-driving DIGITAL info-products. These can be in the forms of ebooks, softwares or audios. And now there are audio ebooks known as "Talking ebooks" available too!
To make money, you need NEW products to sell constantly.
But where are you to find brand new products every month? Can you imagine the amount of money you'll need to invest if you have to buy individual info-products with resell rights ALL THE TIME??
I'm not gonna do that definitely, so what I do is the next best thing - find a supplier that'll buy them for me *free* - every month!
I'll let you in on this secret source later, it makes you money without enormous investment.
5. Your Visitors Need To Know You!
Most traffic to your website is wasted traffic IF you do not capitalize on following-up with your visitors!
Very few will purchase from you on the first visit. Why? They don't really know, trust or hear you. In fact, your visitors will not mind hearing from you again and again if you give them quality information.
Meaning - You MUST start an ezine or opt-in mailing list.
Basically, you need to get your visitors' email addresses to build a relationship with them. This is the basis of follow-up marketing AND really, the *Secret* of so many online gurus. They make their money by recommending good, quality products to their HUGE responsive subscribers. Each time they do that, huge chunks of money are made by these gurus - they can literally pull money out of thin air this way!
So start capturing your visitors' emails and follow-up with them regularly. Supply quality and exclusive information to them. Build that trust and credibility. Do what it takes.
I take this so seriously that I built an entire website at http://www.Marketing-Make-Money.com around my marketing ezine. Why? Because the ezine IS my product.
= Where Can You Find Everything You Need At One Place? =
Alright, everything I've talked about so far will mean nothing to you if I don't provide you the tools you need.
