What a great question and one that we all have asked ourselves at one time or another. To the inexperienced entrepreneur the answer would probably be obvious. I’ll just set up a website with my products and services and then sit back and I’ll make money online. Unfortunately, as most of us know, it’s just not that easy. No one will show up because no one knows your website exists (except you and maybe some close friends) and when no one shows up that equals no sales…no income.
It’s actually just as simple as that. If you want to make money online then you have to make yourself known to as many online users as you can, you need to give yourself a presence on the web. Remember also that not everyone that visits your website is there to buy, some are comparing prices, some are just curious and some might be your competitors checking you out to see what you have to offer.
That doesn’t mean that no one will buy it is just a fact that only a percentage (not large) of visitors actually buy.
Whether or not a visitor makes a purchase actually depends on several factors which we can’t go into here because there is simply too much to cover in depth enough to be useful in the limited space of an article.
So what makes money online.
First off let me say that making money online can be very hard. It can be very frustrating especially if you are new to this game called internet marketing because, whether you are selling a service or product, you must promote (market) it. This is a time when most people get totally frustrated, discouraged, get lost and finally give up. That would be your first big mistake … quitting. It will take a very long time to develop a steady stream of income if you don’t know what you are doing.
You might set up your site and wait quite some time before you see traffic coming to your site in significant numbers. It could take weeks or months to see results from your efforts. If it was easy everybody would be online making money. Why not .. all I need is a product and a website and “poof” instant bulging bank account … right … wrong.
If you want to know what makes money online you have to do two things (to get started anyway) and they are;
1. Educate yourself to maximize your potential and avoid pitfalls…learn…learn…learn.
2. Make a presence on the web, get your site or product known…promote…promote…promote.
To further your education in money making online there are some good training and resource products available which give fantastic results for a relatively small one time fee, I recommend looking in depth at anything you are considering before laying out the cash though. Just be aware that scams are everywhere, do your homework.
Using the two key factors mentioned above coupled with some relatively simple experimenting, you really can make money online. There is much more to cover on this subject which will have to be left to another article.
With all of the information out there it’s easy to get lost in all the myths and hype. Probably the toughest part of sorting through all of the information on the net is finding the truth, especially when it comes to searching for a “home based” or “Internet” type business. I personally had arrived at a point where I was pretty much ready to give up, but fortunately (I guess) I am stubborn and didn’t quit.
