How To Make Money Online (yes, even if you’re a newbie)

Have you noticed how difficult it is to actually get any REAL information about how to make money online?

It’s a nightmare isn’t it? You start off buying up everything you come across - all promising your overnight riches but only to disappoint you and leave you out of pocket. Well it doesn’t have to be like that as Michael Cheney is about to explain in this interview.

Michael Cheney, one of the most-respected names in Internet marketing, has been online since 1995 and is the man behind the 6-Figure launches of AdSense Videos, 11 Days To List Profits and Michael’s Traffic Videos.

After receiving 1489 responses to a survey he put out to his list one big request came back from almost everyone;

“Give us something easy, step-by-step and proven to make money online that anyone can do!”

So that’s what he’s giving you in the new product Start Your Profits Today.

Q. Michael, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with us today.

A. My pleasure - I know a lot of people out there want to get started making money online so it’s my job to get out and spread the word about how easy it is.

Q. So what do you see as being the main hurdles to newbies being able to make money on the internet? What is it that’s stopping them?

A. To be honest with you I think the main thing is information. There is just so much BAD information out there. Scams. Cons. Just bad information that is leading people astray and wasting their time and money. I mean you get onto the Internet and the first thing you see almost is these get-rich-quick schemes. It’s not your fault for seizing these so-called opportunities as they are presented so well. And believe me - I know there are thousands of you out there who have been taken for a ride by things like this. People on my list have been telling me this.

Q. Yes, you ran survey didn’t you to ask your list what they wanted? What sort of questions did you ask them and what did they say?

A. Well I asked how I could most help them. You know - I’ve been online since 1995 and make a lot of money online but I was keen to tap into their BIGGEST challenges and needs. So I asked them what sort of information they wanted to learn. What style of learning they preferred and how they wanted this information to be delivered. I was totally blown away by the responses - I got 1489 people completing the survey!

Q. So what did they say?

A. There some big common themes that kept coming up as I looked at the responses and all the comments. These were that people want something that is STEP BY STEP, something that is AFFORDABALE and something that takes you right FROM BEGINNING and doesn’t leave anything out. You can get really frustrated when you start investing in products that claim to make you money online only to find that leave out a massive piece of the jigsaw. Or they forget to mention that you need to buy X, Y and Z just to make their system work. And that’s where Start Your Profits Today is different.

Q. How do you mean exactly?

A. Well, for the first time - I take you, as a total newbie beginner, right through the entire process from beginning to end on making money online.

You know - to get your website online, to get your website address and to add words and pictures to your website etc.

Q. So what exactly do you need if you’re a beginner starting out trying to make online? Are there some items you need to buy?

A. Great question - yes you do need to have a few essentials. You just can’t make money online without them. You’ll need your own website address and of course your own website. I show you where to get this and the best, cheapest place to go for this in Start Your Profits Today. Other than that you can do everything else pretty much for free.

Q. So you don’t need to buy lots of different things to get started online?

A. No not all. I’m a big believer in doing things that are free! I started out with nothing, working from my bedroom in a poxy one-bed bachelor apartment. Now I live in $800,000 house in the country. My point? When I started out if there was a free way to do something - I found it! And I’m still that way now so I uncover some of these insider money-saving secrets in the videos as well.

Q. So wrapping up then - who would you say would benefit from these videos? Do you need to have a basic level of knowledge on the internet to get started?

A. If you can turn on your computer you are good to go! Seriously! You’ll see that I take you by the hand and guide you through every step of the way. I hate jargon so you won’t see any of that and it’s all explained in simple English and you can go along and progress through to the money at your own pace.

You could quite easily be bringing in a few hundred to a few thousand extra dollars a week once you are up and running. What you need to remember is that is exactly the same system that I use in my multi-million dollar business. It works for me, it works for thousands of other people and it will work for you too.

Q. That’s great Michael. Thank you again for your time today, I really appreciate you doing this interview for us. Well all that remains now is for anyone listening to this interview to get over to Start Your Profits Today and start your profits today!

Promoting Affiliate Programs – 5 Steps To Getting Started

Obliviously, if you are going to be promoting affiliate programs, then you need an affiliate program to promote. Will you promote your own affiliate program or someone else’s affiliate program?

Step 1. Develop or find an affiliate program to promote.

In today’s Internet marketing people are getting started with an online business by promoting affiliate programs that others have developed. And, they are being quite successful in doing so. There are many affiliate program data banks that you could search. ClickBank is one of the largest and better known.

The ultimate objective is to develop your own affiliate programs to.

Step 2. Obtain you own web site.

In promoting affiliate programs you need your own web hosting account. Most owners of affiliate programs provide a web site that host the sales letter for their program. However, you do not want to use this free web site as your primary promotion site. You want to have control over all of your content and your business. With your own web hosting account you will also be able to examine your web traffic statistics.

Many people want to get started without obtaining a web site and web hosting. And indeed, there are affiliate programs that will allow you to do this. However, you are in an Internet business and the Internet runs on web pages.

Therefore, you really should not expect to run an online business with out obtaining web hosting. A good web hosting company will allow you to host more than one web site when you purchase the appropriate hosting package.

Step 3. Subscribe to a good autoresponder system.

More important than getting traffic to your sales page is getting traffic to a lead generation system. This should be hosted on your own web site. You build what is commonly called a squeeze page on your web site. Your autoresponder company will generate the code that is necessary to put a sign up form on your squeeze page. Your objective is to get traffic to your squeeze page form and get people to fill out the form

When they do your autoresponder will collect their name and email address and build a database of subscribers for you. You are building a list. I’ll bet you’ve heard that the money is in the list.

You now develop a series of messages to send to your new subscribers. This series of messages is also stored in your autoresponder. The first message should be a welcome letter. Using your messages you begin to build a relationship with your subscribers. Give them useful and informative information. Your Subscribers are like gold to your business.

If you teach them what you know about your niche, over time some of them will spend money to buy your affiliate programs. You give and help and when they trust you they will likely order the affiliate program that you are promoting.

Step 4. Get traffic to your site.

You got your lead generation system established. Now you need to get someone to fill out that form so that they can start seeing your messages.

There are many ways to get traffic to your squeeze page. If you offer something free, an informative incentive, some of your traffic will sign up using your opt-in form.

One of the quickest ways to get traffic to your squeeze web page is to use pay per click. Using Google AdWords ads your can quickly get a lot of traffic. This can be expensive if not monitored. Your are bidding on how much you will pay each time someone clicks on your ad.

When someone clicks on your ad you will have to pay, even if they do not fill out and submit your form. In this case, you do not get a subscriber, but you still have to pay. So, you need to monitor your traffic and make sure you are getting a good return for your money.

That being said, you will generally get a lot of subscribers so this is a good and a fast way to build your list. Your results per click may be low but you generally will get a lot of clicks so you will get signups. Just watch your cost.

Another way to get traffic to you site is to submit articles. This is a long-term strategy. This method takes a while to get the traffic to your site. There are many web sites, called article directories, which will publish articles that you write.

If you write unique and quality articles these directories will publish your article. In exchange for the information that they get to publish on their site, they will allow you to place your own ad, called a resource box, at the end of your article. In this resource box you place a link back to your web squeeze page.

The directory promotes your article along with many others and over time some of the reader’s will click through to you web site. These visitors are pre-qualified. They already know a little bit about what you can provide. Having read your article, they decided to take a closer look by clicking on your web site link.

Step 5. Provide useful information to your subscribers.

I discussed this a little bit earlier but it needs to be emphasized in a step of its own. This is important and cannot be overly emphasized. Your subscribers must fell that they are getting quality information from the messages that you place in your autoresponder.

Some will tell you not to send them sales letters. This may be good advice for the first couple of messages. But the whole purpose for building the list is to make money. If you do not sent them sales message, how will they buy from you?

You can always include a link back to your sales site or blog. But in the end you will also need to send them messages that are sales letters.

Every once in a while you will want of promote a new affiliate program or one that you really believe will help them in their efforts.

Generally, in this case you will use the broadcast feature of your autoresponder.

The final step. Get started!
