Do you have to write a lot to succeed online?

The answer is yes, you do have to write a lot to succeed online, and I do most of my article writing on a site called Factoidz.

It's one of my top ten best article writing sites, in fact in terms of payment, I would put it at number one. I make about ten to fifteen dollars a day there, but I don't write full time, because I also have a site of my own.

I wrote about it on my site though, in a blog post entitled: Article Writing Jobs. There you will see that you can make more money on this site than on any other article writing site online.

I talked to a fellow writer who works there, and she's getting an activity bonus of ten dollars an article, which means she can outsource articles written by other people for a couple of dollars each, and she makes a huge amount, like fifty dollars a day, and growing fast.

If you manage to keep a high SEO rank, and get good traffic, you can get the same sort of activity bonus, and she also gets five dollars a day in daily views.

I'm trying to work my way up to this sort of income, and at the moment, I'm trying to improve my SEO rank by making back links to some of my articles there like: Article Writing Jobs That Pay Well.

It's only by getting a good SEO rank and lots of traffic that you can earn this large bonus in upfront payments, and that's how you can make an almost unlimited amount of money by outsourcing.

The only thing is, it has to be high quality articles, written in good English, or it won't do very well. Here's another article of mine that explains how you can get paid well by writing articles online.

I don't want to link to my Factoidz articles too much, because that wouldn't be good for SEO, so I will now link out to a couple of other sites that I am trying to increase the ranking for as well.

You Have To Write A Lot To Succeed Online


Here is an article I wrote on HubPages which also links to an article I wrote on Factoidz called Article Writing Sites.

I won't make any more links, because that would reduce the amount of link weight for each of the links I just made, but I will say this.

You do need to write a lot to succeed online, either that, or you need to pay someone to write a lot of original content for you.

Google likes original content, and they like nice photos, and videos, and pretty soon, after I finish this, I'm going to make a You Tube video with my Factoidz referral link, so I can get some extra referrals and make some more money.

Do you have to write a lot to succeed online? You certainly do, and the longer you write, and the more words you put on a page, the better you do in the long run.

What is the Best Way to Sell Affiliate Products Online?






The Best Way to Sell Affiliate Products

I'm just starting out in the world of affiliate marketing, and I have no formal training, and I'm trying to work out the answer to this question myself. 

From what I've seen, there is a lot of competition for every method of selling affiliate products, and every profitable niche seems to have been filled by professionals in the game. That doesn't mean you can't find a way around them.

The most profitable way seems to be building a website with good SEO, in a specific niche which doesn't have as much competition as the more expensive affiliate products. 

Then, you use link building to get it on the first page of a Google search for the title, and in multiple related searches, and you also use pay per click advertising, social promotion, and perhaps email marketing to drive more traffic to the site.  


So What is the Best Method of Affiliate Marketing?

There isn't one specific way to do affiliate marketing, it's more about finding what you can do that makes money, and doing that. 

Personally, I'm mainly selling products through Amazon Associates on my blog because I lost my Google Adsense account. I have sold a few books, but nothing big yet. 

I write titles that are specific, so they get on the first page of that exact Google search and stay there, (hopefully). I get a thousand Twitter followers a day through Twiends, and tweet out links to all my good pages. 

It's slow going, and I'm sure there are faster ways, such as paying for advertising, or having a well-optimized website, but I don't feel like risking money, until I have a better idea of what it is I want to sell.

For SEO, you can do some keyword research by typing in a keyword phrase in the Google Adwords keyword tool, and seeing the search volume globally and locally, then you do a Google search, and check the page rank of the first page results. Type the keyword phrase in quotation marks to see the exact match results. 

Write articles, and use social bookmarking sites to make back links, which improves your Google rating, and make sure you pick a title that hasn't got too much competition. 

As I said, I'm just learning about all this stuff, and there aren't any magic solutions to earning $10,000 a day from an hour's work as some scam sites would claim, cause if they could do that, why would they bother telling you so you could compete with them? 

I would recommend reading these cheap books from Amazon though, as I'm sure you would learn something helpful.

I Cant Seem to Make any Money Online


I can't seem to make any money online. How about you?

It's not that I haven't made any money online, and I understand the idea of building a residual income, as opposed to a day's pay for a day's work, but after trying for a year and a half to make some decent money by writing articles and doing odd jobs here and there, I feel that I may be doing something wrong. 

I have made a couple of thousand dollars, and built a residual income of a few dollars a day, which fluctuates as the views on my pages go up and down, and sometimes a site I write on will change it's payment plan, which affects how much I make as well. 

I sometimes fill out surveys, do SEO and social promotion for other people on Fiverr, but so far I haven't quite grasped how to make enough money online to live comfortably for the rest of my life. 

One of the major hurdles that stands in my way is I lost both my Google Adsense and Google Adwords accounts. 

When writing on my own blog here, I have to use Amazon ads, or ad codes from Adzly. My main plan at the moment is to simply build up enough Twitter followers that I can make a decent living by tweeting my articles on Factoidz and Triond, and then maybe I can use the same Twitter followers to get paid for promoting websites for other people.

Still, that's not such a bad plan, because I am getting a thousand Twitter followers a day, and tweeting to 20,000 can produce a dollar just from my article views, so perhaps tweeting to a million will give me an income of fifty dollars a day. 

It's not out of the realms of possibility that I will be on a decent income, if not a multi-millionaire within the next ten years, if I just keep at it, learning and changing. I think a lot of people would identify with the statement of "I can't seem to make any money online", because at least 99% of all people who try to make money online will fail, or rather give up.

How do you Make Money as an Affiliate Marketer Online?






Make Money as an Affiliate Marketer Online

How do you make money as an affiliate marketer online? It's not all that easy to get into the world of affiliate marketing, because there is a lot of competition from people trying to sell products from companies like Amazon and Clickbank, but really, it's the same sort of thing as having Google Adsense on your page, except you only get paid when someone actually buys the product. 

I am no expert in affiliate marketing, and this blog post is more of a question than an answer to how you make money as an online affiliate marketer, but from what I've learned so far, there are basically two or three main methods. 

You can pay for advertising, make pages with good SEO, or use social marketing to try to get a lot of traffic to your affiliate links, and hope that there are enough people that some of them will buy something. Some say that email lists are the way to go. 

Why do Most Affiliate Marketers Fail?

When you compare the amount of people who would actually buy a product to the number of people who would click on a Google ad, you realize that there is a massive difference in the numbers per thousand views. 

To get paid well for affiliate marketing, or better than you would for an ordinary ad, you need extremely targeted traffic to your website, article or blog post, and you need to pick an affiliate product that pays you well enough for it to be worth your while. 

This is why 99% of affiliate marketers fail. The products that pay the most, and can offer ongoing residual payments have so much stiff competition, you would be lucky to ever get an article or even an ad to compete for those keywords. 

Therefore, you can't get extremely targeted traffic to your pages promoting your high competition affiliate links, and probably the best you could hope for is to use social marketing on Twitter, or spam marketing using questionable methods to get less targeted traffic. 

I talked with this guy who spams emails to people whose email address he pulled off the net using illegal software, and he has to spam 500,000 people to get one sale.

Still, the affiliate marketing business is a billion dollar industry, and if I can't teach you how to do it, maybe you can get some tips from these books from Amazon.

Can You Make Good Money Writing Articles Online?

Can You Make Good Money Writing Articles Online? 

The truth about writing articles is it is not easy to make good money, but then compared to all of the other ways to make money online, it is perhaps the best low risk option, and it is a learning experience which can teach you SEO.

Search engine optimization is the only real way to get paid well for your articles, although you can sometimes get paid in up front payments, such as on a site like Factoidz. I did a projection of my earnings based on writing one article a day for ten years, and worked out I make as much per hour as a regular nine to five job.
