The real joy of making money online is you can do it anywhere in the world that you can get a connection to the internet. There are old people in India making money online right now with nothing more than an old computer and dial up internet.

There are people sitting on their balcony in Hawaii using the internet to make money and live a dream lifestyle. Why not you?

To make money online you need 3 things.

1. A money making website or blog

2. A follow up system including an autoresponder

3. Traffic for both.

Today getting a blog set up with WordPress is a very quick way to get started making money online. Your blog serves as your website and you can add pages to it in a matter of minutes it you can type. The blogging software builds the pages for you.

You need a quality hosting company for your blog, you need a domain name which should include the keywords to describe what you do, and you need to choose a WordPress blog to use. Setting up WordPress from there is very simple if you can read and follow instructions.

An autoresponder is a way to follow up by email automatically. By placing a simple short form you can capture a person's name and email address. To do this you offer something like a free report that relates to the theme of your website.

You give your visitor access to the free report in exchange for them giving you their name and email address. Now you can follow up with them over and over for years to come. This is called building a list and is a very valuable tool to use to make money on the internet.

Getting traffic to your blog is the hardest part and takes an ongoing effort. This is true of any business and it certainly is true here as well. The more free, and nearly free types of traffic you can create the better off you will be in the long run.

Hi,

Another thing that matters the most in business is advertisement. Through advertisements people get to know your product and a good advertisement may lead to a large number of sales.

It is also extremely important to have the right MINDSET when starting your own business. After all you are starting a REAL business and it can be challenging at times. So be sure to find a system that you are comfortable with...

~The man who insists on seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, Never decides." -Henri Frederic Amiel (1821-1881)

and then TRUST that your system that it will lead you to perfect clearness...be persistent and you will succeed.

All I can repeat is start small and keep learning for others successes and failures. If you have a lot of money to risk then it is different. I began with multi level marketing (MLM) in a face to face model even though the web based model was available to me then. I slowly set up a website, now I am going beyond that by promoting the website and thinking of making money by affiliate marketing etc.

Affiliate marketing is a good direction to go in. Selling products in specific niche that you are interested in is a great way to get started.

I agree that affiliate marketing is a great way to get started, but one word of warning.....if you find a good program to lead you through the steps of building your business, stick with it and master it. It will do you no good to jump from one program to another as it will drain your available finances and be your demise. Been there and done that!

Thanks, great advice for new marketers.
