How can you make money online from what you love?

Many of us have probably asked ourselves this exact question.

If you are an active member of Wealthy Affiliate chances are you are already doing just that. Or perhaps you chose a niche that you don't love, but thought would be profitable. The more you love what you are doing, the better you will be at it. You will naturally enjoy talking about it, writing about it and sharing what you know. That will show through in your content, and monetary reward will ultimately be a result of your passion.

It's always better to focus on something you love rather than just merely chasing the dollars (although we all want and need money).

If you want to make money online from what you love, but haven't yet started your online journey towards achieving this dream goal, then this post is for you.

Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to get started, and essentially there are 4 basic elements to making money online this way:

1. Decide on what you love - your niche
2. Build a website
3. Attract relevant visitors
4. Make money

It all sounds very simple when broken down like this. Of course, it will take some work to get things going, but really this business model is very simple. Anyone with a computer and internet connection can do this. You can be 18 or 80 and from any sort of background. You don't need tech skills or to be a copywriter. All you really need is the desire and drive to do it, and to be shown how to do it the right way.

Success will come.

Your Niche

This is the subject you are most passionate about. Really, any niche can make money, and sometimes the subjects that seem less popular can make the most money because there is far less competition in the niche.

So, you already know what you love and you are going to use that for your niche. Now you need a way to tell the world just how much you love this subject and a portal to help others learn what you know.

Build a Website

If you have never built a website before, then this step probably sounds really daunting. Believe me, it's nowhere near as hard as it sounds. With the step-by-step training available here at Wealthy Affiliate, putting together a fantastic website based around your niche - what you love - is all actually quite easy. The other great thing is, if you ever get stuck, just ask the community here for help and someone will quickly have an answer to your problem.

Your website will gradually be filled with content relevant to your niche, and as you do this, more and more visitors will be attracted to your site, read your content and potentially you will make commissions through any affiliate offerings you have within your content.

You don't need to be a great writer. In fact, the more natural and down to earth you sound, the more your readers will relate to you. Of course, write the best that you can and edit your work, as typos and spelling errors can be off-putting when reading, but you don't need to be some sort of literary genius to write effective content. Just be yourself and let your passion for the subject shine through.

Attract Relevant Visitors

The more relevant the visitors to your website are, the far greater chance you have of selling them a product. There's no point hoping someone will buy camping gear if that person detests camping.

In other words, keep all of your content highly relevant to your niche so those that come to read your content have essentially already been vetted.

The training here at Wealthy Affiliate teaches you all of this, so if you decide to join WA - or have joined, but have failed to go much further beyond the welcome screen - then do the training one lesson at a time and apply what you learn. Before you know it you will have a nice website build and filled with quality content that attracts visitors.

Earn Revenue

There are actually quite a few ways you can earn revenue through your website, but the most obvious way with affiliate marketing is through earning commissions when someone buys a products from the manufacturer based on your recommendation.

Wealthy Affiliate even has their own affiliate program. Even if you don't want to promote WA specifically, or promote the "make money online" niche, you can still recommend Wealthy Affiliate to friends, family and on your social media channels.

Making Money Online Isn't a Fantasy

I've been making money online in one form or another since 2004. Anyone who tells you it's not possible must live in a cave in the wilderness somewhere. The internet is the single biggest money making machine on the planet! Never before have we had access to a global marketplace like we do today.

Making money online is one of the best courses of action in the modern world. It's far from being a fantasy and anyone is capable of doing it. You just have to believe you can.

Wealthy Affiliate and the fantastic community of members here will show you how it's done.

All you have to do is make the decision to get started.
