Before i start off by explaining a few ways to make money online, i need to make it clear that you dont need any experience of online business to make it work. All you need is a computer with an internet connection, the determination to learn, and the ability to remain consistent in every thing you do to better your online business.
Here are a few methods i use to make money online:
Blogging, CPA marketing(cost per action), affiliate marketing, product creation, search engine optimisation, website design, article creation, pay per click management, google adsense and website hosting.
A select few of the above would suit you well, and the others may be out of your reach at this moment, but what you must remember is that you should follow what you know, not follow what you dont, this brings me on to the next part.
Its going to take some time for you to learn how to make money online and if you are not interested enough in the subject you are targeting then you will get bored, very quickly. You must be passionate about a certain subject to make it work, thats why you must start your first online business that is connected to your current hobby. You will find that you will enjoy learning how to build a profitable business if its related to your passion, this is key.
I started off my online business as a blogger and i think you should do the same. You can either start a free blog using a free blog hosting service or register a domain name and install a blog on your own domain, its entirely up to you. Its much easier and cheaper to use a free blog, but having your own domain allows you to build a brand, an online presence that people will recognise within your target market.
The purpose of your blog will be to provide people with information, tips and resources that are related to your subject. People will search the internet for free information about your subject and you want to be the one to give it to them. The secret to this would be to target certain keywords that you know are popular.
To learn how to make money online with a blog, you need to understand search engine optimisation, as this is where around 80% of your traffic will be coming from. Before you make a post on your blog, you would use a keyword tool, such as that provided by google, to research what are the most popular keywords within your subject and then write a post about it.
Once your blog is live and has a few posts on it, you can start to add affiliate banners or google adsense within the sidebar of your blog. This is how you will make money online as your visitors are interested in this topic and your adverts will be relevant to your visitors needs.
The more posts you make, the more presence you will have within the search engines. To increase your rankings for the keywords you choose for each post, you must build backlinks to each post from article directories using the keywords as anchor text within your backlink. You can use the resource box on all article directories to link back to each post.
