- Once you find a profitable niche that you have interest in. I would start a blog, or a website based around your interest. I myself would rather be a blogger, because blogs rank better in the search engines, as long as you update them often.
- But first things first you are going to need a domain name for your new online business. A domain name is your internet real estate. Your domain name is going to be something that is easy to remember and keyword rich. What I mean by keyword rich is you are going to want to target keywords that your potential customers will be Googling that are highly searched, with low competition. I recommend Godaddy . They are the cheapest domain registrar around. There is a link below that you can use to buy a domain name for your new online business.
World’s Largest Registrar – GoDaddy.com
- Go after buying keywords if possible! If your niche is how to earn money online? I am using my niche for an example. You may want to target keywords to use for your domain name related to earning money online. Use the free Google adwords keyword research tool to get an idea of some keywords to target that are highly searched with low competition.

- Amazon.com – Need I say more? This company is a household name, and a lot of products sell easier just because it is a very well respected company. Affiliate commissions are lower for the most part so you will have to sell more to make up the difference from the others I mentioned above. Tip: Make sure Amazon allows affiliates from your state. A few states have been banned due to new laws. Illinois, and California, are two I know off the top of my head. So just do your research first before signing up.
- Your next step would be to make a few blog posts and make sure they are 100% unique content blog posts. Google will penalize the hell out of your blog if you are stealing other peoples content and posting it online as your own.

Repeat after me: Traffic = money Traffic = money. But how do you drive traffic to your blog to actually earn money online? Here are a few ways to drive traffic to your blog, and affiliate offers.

- Your most important internet marketing step by far is to start, and build a profitable email list. I recommend Aweber they are only a $1.00 to get started for your first month, and they are my chosen autoresponder.
Why Build An Email List? The Money Is In The List That Is Why?
- I have over 4,000 double opt-in aweber subscribers to date and growing. I recently sent a broadcast out to my list promoting a well known Clickbank product that took me ten minutes to write. I knew this was a good product to promote because I bought the product, and reviewed it. Plus this particular Clickbank product had a ton of great reviews on the major internet marketing forums like the Warriorforum to back up my claims. If you want to check out the product I sent to my email list here is a link.
- My point of why you need to start an email list is just by referring this product to my relatively small email list I made $400 dollars for ten minutes of work. Not to shabby huh? Are you starting to see where the really big money is made online? If you answered in building, and growing an email list from your blogs traffic, then I think we have a winner lol!
