Make Money Online

Making money online is a day dream for many bloggers, achieving that goal to be able to work for yourself without the need of waking up in early in the morning and hearing your boss shouting for his own sh**s.

In order to be able to make money online you have to walk through several steps starting from creating a website, being able to write articles, the use of PPC programs or even affiliates, mentioning these grades is worthless if you don’t have your first goal, the visitors which will be clicking on your PPC programs, buying products through your placed affiliate links or even those same people that will be interested advertising in your website.

There are several techniques how to bring visitors to your blog and just to name some

• Organic targeted traffic from search engines
• Targeted PPC Advertising Campaigns
• Advertising on other sites (banner advertising or textual advertising)
• Word of Mouth , etc.

As for every online money making dreamer the investment to achieve your first goal (bringing visitors to your site) needs to be as cost effective as possible. This means to spend as less as possible to bring readers to your site, from which you might be able to make money from your site.

One of the most precious traffic you could get to your site is the organic traffic from search engines. The search engines are a great source to get some targeted since they do present a list of sites for each keyword query people type in in the search bar. This means that the users are looking for that exact same product/keyword, and the more competitive the keyword is the more search queries that keyword receives and in return the more traffic you could get.

One of the competitive keywords of making money online is the phrase make money online, by playing smart and with some hard work you could get in the first page of the SERPs for that keyphrase and receive roughly 200 unique visitors a day. There is a guy that recently obtained the first position in the search engines for that keyword, Carl Ocab. Carl managed to bring his site in as first result for the query make money online, but to my appearance he is not honoring that result.

What makes me think he is not honoring his first position
The reasons are simple, he worked hard and put his effort to rank for that keyword and gain more organic targeted visitors to his blog and make more money online. Thats right, he’s site is a blog, just like this one. But what Carl is failing to is to be a blogger, and this means to feed your readers with fresh content which they would love to read. He’s last post results around 20th of January, thats two weeks without feeding his readers with content, using the content to pre-sell products under affiliate links or even clicks on his PPC ads. Whats worst is that each day he is missing to feed his readers with new content he is losing a reader (would your cat remain at your house if you don’t feed it?).

The Lesson
If you already achieve the first goal in your life or online marketing or simply making money online don’t forget to honor it, keep on going and set yourself a new goal and if you are a blogger, feed the people with what is most precious for them, fresh content, because if new visitors are precious for a site or blog, the returning visitors are twice more precious.
