Making Money Online Easy


To summarize an hour of dialogue, you should at some point have a product that your readers will want. You should give a lot of free content away, but even when it comes to content, you can charge for some amount, and if your content is good enough, people will pay for the premium stuff. "You can tell them about ninety percent, and they'll pay money just to get the final ten percent," so they know they have the whole picture, Clark says.



Making money blogging will not happen overnight. Sometimes it may seem like this is possible, but in reality, it takes a lot of work. "Build something that is real and something that matters to people," Rowse advises. He shared a story about how he launched a product one day and literally watched the sales roll in. It was as if he had hit a button, and the cash just started flowing, but then he realized he had been working hard up to that point for over two years, promoting the blog, writing two posts a day, doing SEO, press releases, etc. It wasn't overnight. 



You're not scalable, meaning that as your audience grows and more people want to connect with you, there will be a point where it just becomes too much. You have to set boundaries, otherwise you will have no time for yourself and your family. 



Eventually, you're going to have to "get real" about how many meaningful connections you can make in a day, Simone says, adding, "That's part of growing up in social media.”



When they say "no one actually wants that much authenticity," they mean that nobody cares about what you did last night, who you were with, what you had for breakfast, etc. In other words, don't show everybody everything about yourself, because you're not writing for you. You're writing for them. Be who you want to be for your audience. 



Ultimately, you're blogging and using social media to sell, but you can't just go around selling to people, because they won't have it. It just doesn't work. You have to make them want to buy. "You're selling yourself," says Clark. If you provide enough value to your audience, they will want to buy what you have to offer if it expands upon the value you're already giving them. "The content is the marketing," he says. 



Just having a blog is not a business. If you want it to be a business you have to treat it like one, Rowse says. This is basically an extension of number 2. 



The most important of the seven points is that no one is reading your blog. As Simone says, there are hundreds of millions of blogs, and that includes blogs on your topic. You have to write it in a way that is fresh, and either entertaining or informative. The good news is that you don't need "monster traffic". You just need a good, steady core audience for advertising to do well. 


Starting in January 2011 the IRS is no longer mailing paper filings for taxes, credit card spending has hit a 31 year decline while debit card transactions have  increased nearly 7.9% overall.  It’s estimated that credit card usage will drop below 50%while frauds drops quickly due to new detection systems.  Consumers are using less credit and wanting less credit. In a world where traditional credit has evaporated, consumers have changed not how they spend money but how they perceive and attain credit- this time without banks.



Facebook the New Credit Database?

It used to be that credit scores were good indicators of risk associated with consumers.  Looking at outstanding debt, previous history of payments, previous history of spending transactions you could evaluate the worth of someone’s credit and assign a credit score.  For years banks had massive transactional data and tried to figure out the best way to calculate risk both for major fraud (on a criminal level) and minor fraud (personal, potentially accidental level).  Obviously systems are in place now with algorithms that formulate risk.  This isn’t a secret, it’s the bones behind why your debit or credit card has been declined: your cardholder information is processed against which ever authorization program being used and an answer is sent back to the originating terminal from either ‘approving” or “declining” that particular transaction. You know who is also really good at making algorithms and understanding user behavior? Facebook.


A Transaction is a Transaction


Transaction amounts and types are quickly categorized which is why with online banking many times a larger amount than spent at a gas station will be held against a checking account or why with some business debit cards a small transaction will be declined at one restaurant but not another. Many times transactions limits are set higher than they should be, as it allows banks to rack up fees for overdrawn or accounts improperly used.  Americans poor spending habits have been nurtured by banks, it’s been a way to make money but with recent court cases like this one against Wells Fargo, banks are being forced to tighten the rope on spending and on granting credit.  Tightened financial regulation has been needed for years just as paper checks are being phased out of Europe.  Banks have less incentive to give money and consumers have less reasons to use banks.  The bank and consumer relationship has become a hostile one coming and social media is becoming the catalyst for divorce.


Who Needs Money Anyway?

Already online holiday  spending is up 7-9%.  Credits can be earned taking surveys online, money can be made and spent playing games, loans can be given via websites like ZestCash and Prosper. The joke has always been and will increasingly become true  that one day you can pay rent with Farmville points.  This isn’t far fetched:  earlier this year Zynga partnered up with a Softbank a Japanese venture, while SponsorPay continues to dominate the Europe virtual currency market.  and the U.S banking system quickly falls behind the mark, or even worse can’t keep up.  Mobile payments make taking money on the go easy, Paypal allows prepaid cards for cashing out accounts, and Facebook is partnered with Amazon for social shopping.  Facebook credits the new money?



Klout Score the New Credit Score

Every time you use your credit card transaction information is being stored and used to evaluate risk.  Everytime you like or share something on Facebook its being tracked. Retweets, tracked. Friends, tracked. With Facebook opt-in many other things you do online are tracked and associated with your Facebook user account, we know this thus how Klout is now able to give a “influence” score for Facebook as well as Twitter.  Your Klout score tells the world the power you have online.  It shouldn’t be long before the same principals behind traditional electronic spending can be applied to online influence. Want to get a homeloan?  Did your car insurance rates go up? All of this, could, be measured against your online score.

What will consumers be doing this winter retail season? Besides shopping online, it may just be the beginnings of building online credit, social media style.

There are so many different ways to make money online that many of them have yet to be explored yet. While the majority of ways to make money online are for people who are well educated marketing, advertising and computer languages like HTML, which is used to make things like websites. To many people, the option of making money online doesn't even come up because they think their not smart enough which is simply not true. Anybody can make money online given that what you are selling is a necessity to people, its something people need and or want, for instance a cell phone, or cell phone accessories.

The first thing you need to do if you're going to be successful online is find your niche. A niche is a category or, something you're going to thrive off of. What you need to do from there is decide how you're going to sell your product.

For step two, you will need to figure out is how to get your hands on your product. How will I get my hands on a bunch of cell phones that I can resell? Seeing how making them is not a very good option, how about buying them from a cheap source. Craigslist and Kijiji are great for this exact thing. You simply search "cell phones" in your local area and ads for selling cell phones will appear. The reason Craigslist and Kijiji are great for this is because many of the people selling on the two sites want quick cash now. In other words, the sellers are not willing to wait for an eBay auction because they need the money right then and there. Arrange a meeting spot with the seller and offer to pay cash, sellers usually like that.

Step three is simply go home, take a picture of your newly acquired cell phone and put it up for bid on eBay with a starting bid of more then you paid for it. I recently came across a used Nokia camera phone on Craigslist for $60.00, I searched the exact same used Nokia camera phone on eBay and it sold for $110.00, a profit of $50.00 for just the one phone.

Buying and selling using Kijiji and Craigslist is a great way to start off an online business. Remember you don't necessarily need to use cell phones, any electronics in general work great such as video game systems or IPods. If you can make roughly $50.00 in profit per sale you make, this is definitely one of the best ways to start off a business or to get some extra cash.
