How to Make Good Money Online Without a Website
By Cindy Garrido
Would you like to learn a system for making money online, even without using a website... or even a single web page?
First off, I'm sick and tired of the gurus claiming you'll make money with "this new system", or "that new e-book." And it's frustrating seeing all those networking companies or pyramid schemes promising you'll make a certain amount of money if you follow their tried and true methods.
Here's what I know. If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. The same rules apply to the internet. If you want to make money online bad enough, and you completely devote yourself to this pursuit, you'll eventually earn the kind of money you desire... even without the help of "gurus" or "pyramid schemes."
So with the myriad of money making programs on the internet (some, of course, immoral... some legitimate... some not so legitimate), I'm going to help you filter through the garbage and show you a method I first used to earn money online before I had a website.
Now, I'm not going to make any guarantees about this system other than to say that it has worked for many others, including myself. My hope is nothing more than pointing out to you the possibilities of what you can accomplish online. There may have been many reasons why you decided not to build a website. Maybe you don't have the knowledge to build a website, or possibly you've been too timid to even try. Or maybe you didn't have the money to build a site. Whatever your reason for not building your website, hopefully this guide will show you just how feasible, and profitable, not having a website can really be!
My goal is to offer a basic start up guide for you to get started. But remember, in the long run, to really make the most amount of profits online, you're going to need a website. A website will provide a professional presence for you online. In fact, the profits you make from the system I'm going to show you in a second can be re-invested into your business so that you can start your own web presence with a website.
Let's jump right into it. Follow these simple steps to making money online without a website:
1) FIND A PRODUCT TO SELL
The very first thing you're going to need is a product to sell. To do this, find someone else's product that offers an affiliate program that you can participate in. I usually go to clickbank.com or paydotcom.com to find product that I feel will do well in the market. Simply sign up for the affiliate program and you'll be ready to roll with a product to market.
2) GET AN AUTORESPONDER ACCOUNT
Next, you'll need a method to follow up on your contacts. So, you'll need to set yourself up with an autoresponder account. Autoresponders work by allowing you to set up a series of follow-up messages that go to your subscriber at pre-determined times. As an example, if a subscriber signs up for your list, the autoresponder will send out an automated, personalized email welcoming them, Then, on pre-determined dates set by you, the autoresponder will send out a series of emails with information you provide.
3) CRAFT YOUR FOLLOW UP MESSAGE
Now, remember, practice makes perfect. And writing up follow up messages is no different. You may be terrible at creating the messages at first. But with practice, you'll find it easier and easier to create follow-ups that really get your subscribers to take the actions you desire. As a general format to follow, however, remember that first email is a welcome email. In the welcome email, you're going to thank your subscriber for joining your list, and provide free tips or an e-book about the information they're looking for. The next few emails should provide the subscriber with solid information, giving the subscriber free tips and tactics about the topic of your product. Remember to include a link to the product near your signature. Look at the end of this article as an example of this.
4) CREATE A WEBFORM
Once the autoresponder is set up with at least a couple messages, you'll need to create a webform or a link to your webform. If you don't have a website, you can easily create a free blog at blogger.com to insert your webform. The webform will allow prospects to subscribe to your "opt-in" webform and subscribe to your list.
5) ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE, ADVERTISE
Next, advertise your blogger blog with your webform to your autoresponder everywhere you can. Here's some ideas: write articles and submit them to article directories, trade links with other blogger blogs, pay per click advertising, write press releases, participate in forums and leave your signature form, or buy ezine ads. Then when prospects see your ad and enter their information on your webform, they'll be subscribed to your list. When they're on your list, you can now promote your affiliate product until your subscriber "dies, buys, or removes him/herself from the list."
6) TEST EVERYTHING
Now remember, it may take some time to really get good at the system I've described above. Setting it up is the easy part. But, ensuring that you create words that motivate and ultimately get people to buy from you, will take some time. It takes practice, and there may be a learning curve before you begin to really generate sales. To hone in on what really works, will require that you test everything. Whatever advertising you decide to do, track and test the ad. This way you'll know exactly which ads produce the best results.
You can make good money online without a website. If you find a good product to sell, have an autoresponder and follow up messages, create your webform, advertise everywhere, and test everything, you'll stand a much better chance at getting subscribers who'll ultimately buy from you. Good Luck.
