Make Money Onine Savvy

Are you a person considered a Make Money Online Savvy? If not, then you are in the right place, because in this blog I will help you become a savvy internet marketer. I wish I had been savvy in this area a long time ago, way before I got started if it could have been possible, maybe I would have saved thousands of dollars I spent at the beginning of my online business ventures.

Unfortunately I was not Savvy enough, in fact I had no idea how making money online actually worked, I was always looking for some get rich quick scheme that would actually work, that mindset helped me blow most of my monthly pay check on products and services that promised things like getting rich quick or making at least a few extra hundred dollars a month. Most of them did not work, some did help me analyze how successful online businesses actually worked.

But lets make a quick recap of what I tried. As almost anyone that gets started trying to make money online I initially got involved with Online Paid Surveys, I don't know for some people but for me it did not work, since I was such a beginner I was smart enough to try to make money without spending a dime so I did not get involved in opportunities to get money that came from IFW's (Incentive Freebie Websites), managed by companies like projectpayday.com or cashcrate.com. Although it would have been a better idea because both of these websites really work.I actually paid to get involved with some paid survey programs, at the time I did not know that you don't have to pay a dime to make money from taking surveys online, so I ended up with a list of survey managers that was not worth anything, I lost almost $100 dollars that day!

When I heard about blogging and how I could make money writing about the stuff I loved, I thought that it was something that I could actually do. When I started making my first blog here at blogger.com, a free blog, I was very excited, I thought I could make a blog on anything, write a few crappy posts, place some adsense ads, some affiliate links, and then I would become rich. Obviously it did not work like that, blogging takes a lot of hard work and a lot of knowledge, and I did not want to work hard and I did not want to study. Of course I did some research to see how I could improve my first blog and I stumbled with subjects like SEO (search engine optimization), Backlinks, Keywords(strategy, marketing, density), Internet Marketing, Page Rank, Content, etc.

That was not what I was looking for, unfortunately that was the necessary arsenal for the online battle in the blogging or internet marketing wars. So I gave blogging my middle finger and quit. In my research I had learned abouth Adwords, so I decided that I would buy a lot of traffic to get adsense clicks (adsense arbitrage), HUGE MISTAKE! I got smart priced and my adsense clicks only paid a few cents a click, the clicks ranged from $0.01 to $0.03, so I would pay $2000 dollars on adwords a month and I would make $500 U.S by the end of the month, leaving me with -$1500.

I only spent that amount for one month, that was the first and last time that I would experiment with adwords as a beginner. Adwords helps people make money, but people that actually have high quality products or services, or people that actually master the subject and really know how to set up successful campaigns, not people trying to make money from adsense, that is why the adsense arbitrage failed for everyone trying it.

Since my goal was to make easy money online I kept trying new things and I kept spending more money without having success, I tried to learn how to make a website, paid some money, learned some html, but still that was not good enough to make a website that could actually help me make money online. Since this did not work I moved on to a new opportunity to make an extra income, selling Ebooks online, since I was looking for easy ways to make money without any effort, I was not planning to write my own Ebooks, in fact at the time I had nothing to write about, so I joined one of those programs provided by one of the many guru's that promise you to get rich with their unique money making method, I could install a bunch of templates provided by him, and I could sell his own Ebooks as an affiliate marketer. I was getting involved for the first time with affiliate marketing, now I thought that I was going to make money, but as usual I was wrong. No Ebooks were sold, no clicks were made on adsense ads, nothing happened, I just lost more money.

Most people would have quit a long time before spending all the money I spent on many scams created by many different guru's, these so called guru's earned the feelings I have for them nowadays, so now what i'm planning to do is team up with the rest of bloggers and website owners that actually help other people make money on the internet, to help beginners and confused people from falling for their evil scams. If I can make money from my visitors I will, but when I try to make money from my visitors at least it will be from products that actually work or at least have something good to offer. I did not quit because I love a good challenge and dominating the world of internet marketing became my obsession, so I had to go back to the things that truly work and started all over again.

So, what really works is traffic, if you really want to make money online you must have a blog or website and your site must have a lot of traffic, it is the most effective way to go about it, there are other ways to do so but not quite as effective and they need traffic as well, because if you do not have traffic you will not make sales, you will not have CPA offers completed at your sites or you won't receive any clicks on you adsense ads, or clicks in your in text ads from companies such as kontera or infolinks, and you won't even make a cent from programs that have a paid per impression basis.

How do you get traffic? there are many ways to get traffic, some are through traffic exchange services like trafficswarm and other related companies, this type of traffic does not work because everyone veiwing your site is in the system, and everyone in their system has the same intentions that you have, so traffic coming from that source will never convert into clicks, completed offers or sales. The best way to get traffic that pays is through the search engines (organic traffic)and the way to get this traffic is through SEO, another way to get a lot of traffic is through placing your own written articles on article publication sites like goarticles.com or ezinarticles.com which are the most effective article directories in terms of traffic and search engine positioning, meaning that these articles that you stick to these sites will get indexed highly in the search results for the keywords that you choose, because of the high PR that these article directories have. This articles will contain a link back to your site so you will get a backlink, and people coming to your article will probably follow the link to your main site, another cool thing is that the links provided by these sites are dofollow links, so every article will increase the chance of your site getting a higher PR, a high PR (page rank) will dramatically improve your SEO, once you have a high PR site everything starts to get easier and you will be able to really start making money on the internet.

I know this seems complicated, but this is just an overall view to what it takes to make money online, i'll see you on the next lesson where I will start to teach you about SEO.
