The easiest way to earn money online

80

By kev8

There are many ways to make money online. Every day I discover new and interesting ways to earn using the web. Just the other day I stumbled upon a way to make money online that I hadn’t heard of and is so simple I am a little embarrassed I didn’t think of it before. This doesn’t require a website or any significant amount of work. However, it does require you to know a little about keyword research and the use of online advertising. If you have been hanging around hubpages for awhile I am sure you will know quite a bit about keyword research, the online advertising part you will pick up fairly fast. If you are not a member of hubpages you can learn a lot of those skills here by reading other peoples hubs, while also making money writing articles, so I suggest you sign up here.

The method

There are millions of products online and e commerce is on the increase big time. Many people search for the same product in many different ways. This presents an opportunity for entrepreneurs. Rather than writing an article and submitting to hubpages in the hope that it gets ranked high and that someone will click through your amazon or ebay link and eventually buy your product why not increase your chances by simply buying advertising on MSN adcenter or Yahoo search marketing and then link directly to the product page with your affiliate link. If you are familiar with doing business online you are probably either overwhelmed with excitement right now or annoyed because you have used this method a million times before, if it’s the latter please comment below and let us know how it went.

A simple step by step by step guide

  1. Find a product that you think will have a high margin and a vendor that pays out a large affiliate percentage. A good way to do this is through plenty of searching online through pages like trendhunter and ebay pulse. Also google trends might help.
  2. Once you have chosen your product sign up to the MSN search marketing programme or the Yahoo adcenter programme.
  3. Find keywords related to the product that are searched quite often but that have a low priced cost per click.
  4. Then let these keywords be your advert title and put the affiliate link in your link box.
  5. Set your advert and wait for the dollars to start rolling in.Well, maybe there will be some fine tuning first.

The drawbacks

Unfortunately there is no perfect way to earn money online and this one like the rest has its drawbacks.

The first major drawback is that it requires money upfront. For many people this is where they will opt out. No one wants to gamble money on something they don’t understand. Secondly Google adwords the most popular advertiser on the internet dosent allow this. Finally, the money earned is probably going to be minimal enough. Very few companies pay out large amounts in affiliate revenue, probably the highest paying is clickbank. They sell ebooks many of which are low quality and full of bad information.

A word of warning for newbies

A little word of warning, if you’re new to the earning money online scene I suggest you read around about keyword research and make sure you know what you are doing before you start investing money. Also know that this stuff takes a lot of experimentation and work but it will come right with some effort. Best of luck!!

Hi Fgual, thanks very much for your comment. Yes it is one of the many ways to make money online.

Luckily some of them are interlinked and a skill you pick up from one can be used in another. I think this method may appeal to hubbers as they will be familiar with keyword research.

Wouldn't this be against the rules and regulations of most any affiliate program?

Essentially you are saying that you will find an affiliate program, then pay for pay per click advertisement using your affiliate link directly?

Not that I know of. I think most companies would be delighted to have you promote their products using PPC advertising. It drives sales for them. I cant see why they would have a problem with that.
