Make money online with no selling or affiliate marketing

Making money online is not as difficult as you may think. There are plenty of ways of making money online without investing much time or money. Selling products is a great way of making money, but it has never worked for me. I rely on another method to make money online.

I have tried just about everything to make money online including ebay, craigslist, affiliate marketing, making a website, clickbank, and selling ebooks. None of those things really worked for me. I made a few dollars here and there but that is about it. I needed a mroe serious, long term way of making some decent money online. That is when I found out about IFW's.

IFW stands for incentivized freebie website. Basically, it is a site that will give you money or an item for free in exchange for filling out free offers and trials. It does take a while to get used to doing and I would greatly recommend using a guide to get started because there are a lot of ways to mess up even if you think you are doing everything right.

I have had great success with IFW's, so far I have made around $1,000 per month and that number is increasing every month too. The reason that I am sharing this information with you is: the more money that I make, the more money that you make...and vise versa.

If you would like started, I would recommend reading a guide or instructions so that you will have a running start.

The basics of making money with Forex

Forex stands for foreign exchange and is usually associated with trading currencies. It is the biggest international trading market. Trading in the forex market has the same basic principles as trading a stock market. In order to succeed, you must buy low and sell high. With this basic concept, every day, millions of people make and lose money. Banks, commercial companies and individuals can all buy and sell in the forex market

It has become an increasingly popular market due to the ease of getting started and the potiential for overnight wealth. Many websites exist that sell you information on how to buy and sell properly in the forex market, but I do not recommend paying for what you can get for free.

Forex uses three letter codes to identify each currency. For example, US currency is USD. The Japanese currency is JPY. To better understand the relationship between the two currencies, I will use another example. If the USD to the JPY rate was 1:100 then that means that 1 USD will get you 100 JPY. This means that if the JPY goes up to 101, then you earn a 1% increase.

The great thing about forex is that the market is always open during the work week. It is running from 7am (New Zealand time) on Monday until 5pm on Friday(NY time).

Currencies tend to follow predictable trends. These trends are usually repeated, allowing you to make money by making the same investments daily. Many brokers also do not charge you commission to trade or open up a mini account. (account trading small amounts, usually around $100 to $500)

This article was created to provide a basic intro to forex. I would recommend opening up a free practice forex account to get used to trading before you invest any real money.

Pay per click vs article marketing

PPC advertising is a very effective way of driving targeted traffic to your affiliate marketing website, but it is not the only way. Article marketing, sometimes referred to as bum marketing, is a completely free way of driving targeted traffic to your website.

Pay Per Click advertising is a very good way to get a lot of targeted traffic, but does cost quite a bit of money. You can expect to pay around $0.20 to $2.00 per click. Sadly enough, only 1 out of every 20 to 50 people who visit the site through those clicks will buy a product. However nearly all of them will sign up for more information if you are getting paid on a pay per lead basis.

Article marketing involves writing an ensemble of relevant articles that will push people to visit your site and view the products that you are promoting, whether it be pay per sale or pay per lead. The types of articles that you want to write will be SEO friendly and will be on very precise subjects rather than general ones. I still get traffic to a few of my sites via articles that I wrote a few months ago. That is the wonderful thing about article marketing...when you write an article and publish it on ezine articles or a similar service, your article will remain active for months or years to come, meaning that you will continue to get traffic from these sources. It is more of a time investment than anything else. In order to keep getting a good bit of traffic from these articles, you should shoot for writing 3 to 4 articles each day for at least a month. If you run out of things to write about, then do more research on the topic and relay that research in a way that the general population will easily understand.

If you follow these guidelines and write content rich, meaningful articles that have a link to your site at the bottom, then you should see an increase in traffic to your site. Pay Per Click is better for the short term while article marketing is better for the long term. If you want a short burst of sales, then PPC may be for you, but if you want to do the work once and get results for a long time, then article marketing may be right for you. I would suggest that you use Google Analytics to track how many people are coming to your site from the articles.

Different types of affiliate marketing

There are three main types of affiliate marketing. These three types are Pay Per Click (PPC), Pay Per Sale, and Pay Per Lead.

1. Pay per click affiliate marketing is perhaps the easiest type of affiliate marketing to get started in. Google Adsense is a prime example of affiliate marketing and is a very good way to make money online. Basically, you get paid every time someone clicks on an advertisement on your website. The earning potential is limitless, but depends on how much web traffic that you receive. A site with more traffic and well placed ads can make hundreds or thousands of dollars everyday. In order to make that kind of money, you would need to have a very large and popular website.

2. Pay Per Sale affiliate marketing is usually structured on a commission style pay. You earn a percentage of each sale that you generate for a company. The easiest programs to utilize this type of affiliate marketing with are Amazon Affiliates and Clickbank. You can review or recommend products from these sites and then post your affiliate link. If someone clicks the link and buys the product, then you are paid a percentage of that sale. You may decide to pay for advertising if you want to focus solely on this type of affiliate marketing. You can utilize Google Adwords to attract targeted traffic to these reviews or recommendations to get some sales. I have successfully started a number of websites that have just affiliate links with reviews of the products and have made money from it too. Adwords will be discussed in more detail in another article.

3. Pay Per Lead affiliate marketing involves getting people to sign up for a free trial of a service or just simply signing up on a website. You may get $0.01 to $10 or more for each lead that you may generate for a company. These types of programs are more on a company by company basis rather than having a program like clickbank. However, there is one program that comes to mind that covers both Pay Per Sale and Pay Per Lead. This program is Commission Junction. Commission Junction or CJ is a great resource for website owners and bloggers who want to promote real, tangible items rather than the informational and digital items on clickbank. CJ allows you to get paid a percentage of each sale that you generate for a company and for generating leads for different companies or services. CJ is definitely something to look into.

This should provide you with a brief but informative idea of what Affiliate Marketing is all about. There is A LOT of money to be made in affiliate marketing. If you haven't done so already, make your own free blogger blog or Google pages site and get started making money.

The basics of Affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the biggest earners for site owners and bloggers. You are an affiliate if you promote a product, link to a program/item or even have Google adsense ads on your site.

There are a few main affiliate marketing programs that you can join to make money through your website or blog.

1. Clickbank. Clickbank is a very easy way to make a commission on referred products. Clickbank focuses solely on informational items and digital items such as software. If you have an established site or blog, you could simply put in an affiliate link at the end of a relevant post and get a few sales from doing just that. You can create individual links for every item. The earning potential is endless.

2. Google adsense. Adsense is probably the easiest affiliate marketing program to become a part of. Whenever someone clicks on an Adsense ad on your website, you get paid. If you have 500 unique visitors every day and get 25 people to click on the ads, you could get anywhere between 25 cents and $50, depending on your subjet area and content.

3. Amazon Affiliates. You can earn money by referring people to amazon.com to buy certain products. Most people will trust amazon.com and are more likely to buy from them than anywhere else. You earn a commission on each item that is sold through your links, much like clickbank.
