Making Money- Lesson 1: Internet Marketing

Internet marketing is perhaps one of the most effective and comprehensive ways of generating substantial wealth from home... Or anywhere!


We have all seen those big banners on the highways or city streets, advertisements and commercials on television, and even flyers and ad placements in newspapers. Many big business use these ways of advertising to spread word about their businesses or new products, but they are missing one very genious way of advertising... the internet.

Oh yes, internet marketing account for over $10 billion a year worlwide. Wouldn't you like a share of that? Ofcourse you do. Ill show you how.

Think of is this way, many companies or online business want people to come to their websites to buy products, or simply to increase traffic, and they do this through INTERNET MARKETING. Basically what happens is, a company will place their advertisements on your website using a program called Google Adsense .

Companies place ads with google in an "Ad Bank" where Google distributes these ads to internet publishers (people who have websites). All the publisher has to do is create a website, with very good content, or something that everyone is eager to see or read about, and simply drive traffic to their own website where people click on these advertisement, and you get paid!

Let me give you an example.

Ron, an internet marketer, has a website, say this one. He places content (text or images) that people are interested in. People worlwide visit his website to read. While reading, they see various banners and text ads in blue links around the site. Each of these advertisements has a description that might interest a reader.

So John visits Ron's website to read about making money (like you are now) and notices and advertisement on the left side of this article that interests him. He proceeds to click on it and is directed to another site. Due to this simple principle technique, Ron has now made money from his traffic visitors.

Get it? Let me explain further.

Google is a middle man between Advertisers and publishers (like me). Companies give google their advertisements and pay google 25cents a click. Google then distributes these advertisements and pays YOU 10 cents per click. This way, Google has profited 15 cents and you've profited 10 cents. Now these numbers are only examples. Some websites (highly desirable and famous ones) make over a dollar a click.

So why drive traffic? Why can't I click my own?

Well, firstly, it is against google contracts to click your own ads. Secondly, the more traffic you create, the larger the number of people that will click on your ads.

Say Ron has 1000 unique (new) visitors a day. If only 25% of them click on ad advertisement, Ron can make anywhere between $50 to over $200. That's great, but it's not limited.

If Ron can bring in 10,000 visitors a day and just 20% click on advertisements, thats about $300 to $600 a day!

So as you can see, the income potential is unlimited. However, google advertisements is only one way of making online money, maybe the best.
One key rule is to diversify. The more streams of income you have from one site, the better. This means don't use only Google Ads. Use other affiliate programs.

Affiliate programs are programs that use advertisements on your site, but you only get paid per SALE (not click). This can be especially profitable for large, high traffic websites. There are millions of people sitting at a computer with their credit cards ready to buy something. For starters, i suggest using GOOGLE ADSENSE.

Aside from visual ads, Google offers TEXT LINKS. These are links you can place within your content. These kinds of ads are place as TEXT in your articles and increase the chances that people will click on them (earning you money).
