When all of us first decided to try to make money online, none of us realised the monumental task we were about to undertake. All those constant emails in our inbox and websites online were all telling us how easy it would be to become very rich but the reality is very different. Internet and affiliate marketing requires learning many new skills.

So far I have learnt the following:

  1. Find a profitable niche.
  2. Find the best keywords, low competion, sufficiant monthly searches.
  3. Buy a domain either incorperating one of those keywords or branding yourself?
  4. Change nameservers to point here to Wealthy Affiliate Premium Web Hosting.
  5. Get an autoresponder, we use Aweber.
  6. Create yourown product, say an ebook to get you started.
  7. Create your website here.
  8. Write attention grabbing headline, sub-headline and a strong call to action?
  9. Write a sales page for your product or add a short sales video?
  10. Write a review page or pages, posts on a related affiliate product you've purchased or researched to verify it is quality?
  11. Add additional pages and posts each optimized with best but different keywords.
  12. Write great follow up emails into your autoresponder that build a relationship before selling to your subscribers.
  13. Keep your content fresh and add more frequently.
  14. Never use spammy sales pitches but instead be helpful and give your subscribers good reasons to remain on your mailing lists.
  15. Drive traffic to your site, the hardest task because it takes weeks and months to bear fruit and only if you use what works, see below. Or get affiliates to do that selling your product and building your mailing list fast?
  16. Repeat with another niche.

Making money online is a marathon not a sprint. It takes hard work, a lot of learning and taking action before even $1 might be earnt. Finally never, never, never buy those click your mouse 6 times scam software because they are all total trash. Also never give up.

For those with big pockets, the fastest way to get very rich is to select a millionaire Guru and pay him or her $thousands to train you 1 to 1, but in the end success will still be down to actions you take.

All the best from Stephen & my dear recently departed from this World Jennifer, who I still love forever and will eventually meet again in Heaven. Doing this online business for our family she made me promise to look after.

So sorry to hear about Jennifer. Hopefully WA will keep you busy so your pain is less intense.

So sorry Stephen to hear about Jennifer. That's always tough losing your other half. Glad you are continuing with your online business as she would want you to. Wishing you the best.

Daunting isn't it !!!!!

Sorry to hear about Jennifer's passing. Great information on getting started, thanks.

Fortunately I knew I would have to work hard to get anywhere in life as there really is no free ride unless you are a good con person. And boy would I hate to be one of them. I hadn't known about Jennifer but not only will you love her forever, she will always be around for you as she is in your mind.

Hi Stephen.
So sorry to hear about Jennifer.
Wish you lots of success at WA.
The best place to be to learn online marketing .

Sorry to hear about Jennifer, Stephen.

Hi Stephen,
So sorry to hear about Jennifer. I can't imagine.
Thanks for the review. You just don't realize how much is involved until you sit down and do a review.....Dick

Many thanks Stephen for the comprehensive analysis.

Hi Stephen! -

Let me start by saying how sorry I am to hear about Jennifer?

It's good to see you here -- I remember you very well from CFM...

Must say - they were very - very enjoyable times!

And I still miss Chris's Great video's!

Is it me - or has the IM world changed so much -- And so quickly?

I have been here for over nine months now - and maybe I shouldn't admit it -- But I still can not find anything truly exciting about SEO!

Maybe that's because Chris didn't teach it!

I still use a few of the methods Chris taught us for driving traffic -- And those still make me money! :)

Even Chris's methods that he taught have now been overtaken as most online marketers are now using upsells and downsells with a funnell system.

Now researching this trend and hope to put one together and test it's effectiveness or not? Report back eventually or post another blog to let everyone here know that it can be done without paying someone else a fortune nor a lot more expense. I suspect Chris Farrell is now also doing this?

Regards to all.

Stephen & Jennifer.
