How do people make money on the internet? This is a question that was
resident in my mind for a long, long time. But i later came to find out that just like cooking rice; it is
so easy once you learn the basics. I know some people would dispute that
cooking rice can be difficult, well I have on several occasions missed the rice
to water ratio, and ended up with “white sand” literally speaking. But so is
how some will dispute that making money on internet is a mystery.
Making money over the internet follows the same
principles that you would follow when setting up a traditional brick and mortar
business. The only difference is that on the internet, you have the potential of a very big, big
audience.
The internet has been likened to a broad super highway
cutting across the globe, with shops on the side. The shops are your websites or blog. Vehicles cruising on
the superhighway could be attracted(read pulled) to your shop depending on what you have in the shop and what
they want. If you have many visitors
stopping by your shop, then some people will pay you to put advertisements on
your shop front.
In other words,making money on the internet could be a three step process:
- Create a blog and put interesting content in it,
- Monetize your blog: that is put advertisements on it, or place a product that visitors to your website could download for a fee. You could obtain a link from Google-Ad Sense that if put on your blog, will have Google place advertisements on it, and pay you per every click on the advertisements.
- The third step would be for you to drive traffic to your site. There are many ways to do this, sign up for updates from me on this site for a step by step guide.
Content is the information on your website that will attract
people to this site. Content could be articles or videos or photos, a mixture
of all of this is most preferred.
This content must be something that you are good at or something
that you have a passion for.
I have a friend who has a passion for tomato farming; she
could easily create a blog with informative articles on the best seedling
types, with photos of big succulent tomatoes in the field. Thousands and
thousands of newbie farmers, seeking information on tomato farming would end up
on his site to gulp this information.
I also have an “enemy”, a diehard fanatic of Manchester united,
he could easily make money on the internet by blogging about the premier league
fixtures, the players the scores all such boring things.
Am certain that thousands of fanatics who Google this stuff
out would end up to his site, and he would rake in millions in advertisements. But he could also design inspiring screen savers with English premier league themes,
and have visitors to his blog download them at a fee. All this can be set up
for him at a small fee by freelancers at or by an IT guy. But if he were
anything like me, he would teach himself this just by googling.
My hope is that you now understand how people make money on the internet. Well, go a head and give it a try.
