Getting Started Making Money Online
Step By Step Guide
You are advertising for someone else you get a percentage of the
sale the problems are you have no control over the sale process,
the support, or even if they change the link on you, If done your
wasting money on traffic and your valuable time without even know
it.

Next problem is you are not creating an opt-in list you can contact
about other products or services that they may be very interested
in. More about this later.

The worst problem is most affiliate sites will basically steal your
sale by offering your traffic a better deal in a pop-up window.
Example: 10% off.
End result you lost the sale the owner keeps 100% of the sale. Not
all Publishers do this but a very good percentage do.
Another trick is they have a super sale that simply kills your sales
and you just have wasted your time and money on traffic with
nothing to show.
This is why a good 95% of entering marketers fail in trying to make
Money Online.
So we have cleared that up I am sure you realize why you need your
own website if even only to redirect your traffic to multiple
publishers sites as an affiliate.

Time to come up with a                          for your website (Personal
name if you like), as you see mine is mansalife.com
Some website owners like to use their name.com which can be an
excellent idea as well as it gives a personal touch as well as
Branding yourself.
Most marketers like to have a catchy name and you will be able to
see if it is available when searching or registering your                      
 
Two excellent web hosting sites that get you rolling for next to
nothing  both I highly recommend are similar in what they offer, one
may suit you better then the other, the first is  here
web-hosting 1  
the second is here Web-Hosting 2
Feel free to use another hosting site as there are many out there
just be careful and do some research.

Building the site.

Your hosting site most likely provides a web building tool
such as Site builder.
There are many programs out there to help you build your
web pages as there are site builders who use them, each
person has their own preference so really not fair for me to
suggest one.
Your best bet here is to do a search and find one that suits
your needs and your experience level.

Page Design.

This is entirely up to you but a few tips are:
1) Try to make it stand out from every day pages.
2) Give it some character to call your own.
3) Experiment with the layout back-round and text colors
until you find something you like.
4) Keep in mind is it easy to read?
5) Does it look cluttered?
6) Is it overall appealing?
A site of just banner links is something to shy away from as
you should have real content to your pages. Links might work
for a short while but it will kill Your Ranking in Search
Engines.
Having visitors come back for the information you provide
such as lets say "dog grooming" is priceless.

Keywords & Meta Tags

1)  Title your pages.  This is what will be the heading in
search engines results, displayed on the top of your page,
Also it will appear on the tab in the task bar "Dog Grooming
101" for example.

2) Describe your sites content with the
Description. This is
pretty basic as you type in what your site is about and limit
to 256 characters including spaces. For example:
Dog grooming Tips, Tricks and Advice on how to care for
Mans best Friend. How to keep your Pet looking and smelling
like they just walked out of the Salon.
Which is 159 characters.
You have more room to expand on it. Try to keep it simple
and straight to the point.

Keywords will give the search engines the information
needed to supply search queries with answers and in the end
hopefully to your page in search results This doesn't happen
over night but with some research and toying with your
keywords you can work your way up the rankings of course
Backlinks are need as well to get high rankings.
Really it is all about what you think Internet users will type
into a search to find information you are supplying.
Example keywords you could use are:
safe way to bath a dog, best way to bath a dog, tips to
bathing a dog, bathing large dogs, sprayed by a skunk,
removing burdocks, brushing, nail clipping, when to use a
muzzle etc. (175 characters)
Keep in mind that you should limit this to 256 characters that
includes spaces and commas and should be done in the
format above a comma and a space between each keyword or
set of keywords.

You will hear over and over again the money is in the "LIST"
and actually this is true. Not all of it but yes a list of
contacts who visited your page is very important.
There are several ways to accomplish this such as having a
newsletter, Giving away e-books or software that relates to
your site. Which can be accessed by signing up to your site
for free.
For example on my main page you will notice the sign-up form
and yes I do have a very nice E-book as well as bonuses I
send to visitors when they sign-up to my newsletter.
When I come across a great opportunity or have a special
newsletter only promotion going on I will email the lucky
subscribers on "my" list.

(Remember about not having your own site? )
This is where you make the next decision.
Auto responders or manually email.
Personally I am testing the manual email but I am soon about
to switch to auto responder. Why? Simply for the instant reply
and availability to my gifts and bonuses rather then
subscribers having to wait for me to respond.
I have done a lot of investigation on auto responders two
definitely stand out from the crowd and to no surprise they
are the most widely used of any.
After testing the others I know why they simply are the best
there is a slight difference in setup and price but both
virtually the same the first one is obviously my first choice
but only due to overall feel and support. You may like the 2nd
better this is why I have added them both.
Auto Responder 1    Auto Responder 2
Discover the information you need to get started right from
scratch or improving your existing business online.
First a few words on this guide, Yes it is long so grab a Coffee
or Tea or beverage of your choice.
I suggest you Bookmark this page and add to your favorites so
you can refer back to it as you need to.
I am inserting links for everything you need to get started
they will be in
Red.
All links open in a new window for your convenience.
OK lets Get you started on Making Money Online.
Reason #2 for having an Auto Responder is that you can set up
campaigns that automatically email your contacts with your
promotions, updates, sales etc. On a scheduled basis determined
by you.
This alone makes it a very powerful tool for your success.

Traffic
This is extremely important for many reasons I will try to keep as
brief as possible even though it does require a huge amount of
attention.
They certainly help in getting your site seen which is of great help.
If you can't be found on search engines yet then very few know
about Your Site, Your Products or the Publishers you are
advertising for.
Search engines are the first thing to set up as getting your website
indexed will take time.
There are many sites that offer to submit your site but the very
best policy is to manually do it yourself and use them as a back up.
Even though the backup they provide is priceless most will do for
free and it is all about getting noticed.
First and most importantly submit your site to
Google, Yahoo and Msn Live Search.
Next step is to get the services of these sites to submit your site to
search engines some have a free service with the option to
upgrade. Depending on your budget I would suggest upgrading for
maximum effect but only if you feel comfortable with the site and
the offer.

I am a tad bit skeptical when it comes to website submission as
when you get enough traffic and are noticed the engines will pick
you up automatically.  
It comes down to time and lets be honest if you are from Canada
and never heard of xxxxx.com search engine Located in Germany.
Do you really see the need to get your site indexed there? Is your
site translatable to German?
How much traffic would you expect from any given country based
on your content?
These are all things to consider before purchasing a huge submittal
to many unknown search engines, You might very well tap into a
market that others are not as well so a personal choice based on
budget and relevance of your site and content. One Site I Love is:
My Cool Submitter
I highly recommend buying targeted or untargeted traffic only due
to at first traffic will be an issue for you and for your site. Having
decent traffic will help get you noticed by search engines as well
you might also grab some sales as a bonus.
A great site for purchased Traffic is:
Traffic

you can sell for up a 75% commission on each sale. You can also
purchase the 2 products I have for sale

Believe it or not. The very first thing you need to really
succeed is your own
Website.
