The Benefits of Setting up Passive Salary Sources On the Web
I don’t know about you, but I like to make money online. I like to work from home, I like the freedom of it, and I like to stretch my creativity in exciting new ways. The pay’s not bad, either.
Setting up an online income is the best thing you can do for yourself, because it will make all these things a reality for you too. I’m not talking about six, or even five figures a month, although with enough hard work these are not unrealistic. But imagine for a moment, if you will, having a handful of websites that bring in anywhere from $10 to $50 a day, on autopilot, with very little additional maintenance after you initially set them up. Can you imagine the freedom of it?
It Can Be Done, Because I’ve Done It
What you just imagined is kind of what it’s like to be me, although interestingly enough I used to be just as skeptical as you are now. I’ve only been in the field of Internet Marketing for a short while, yet I guarantee I could easily walk you through the process of setting up such a website, from start to finish, with the same or better results. I know, because I’ve done it, and I continue to do it.
It continuously amazes me how down right easy it is to make your full time living on the Internet — not by doing bogus things like “posting links on Google” or filling out surveys, but by doing what everyone else does to make money: selling products to consumers. I’m not saying you have to become a salesperson, because the fact is that people are going to buy products anyways — they have to — and many of them will buy them online.
How to Approach online income
The real power of the Internet (in terms of making money) is in the ability to determine what people are searching for with the intention of buying, and to easily set yourself up as liaison between them and potential sellers to earn a commission.
For example, if someone wants to buy a laptop or maybe a digital camera, they might go look on eBay or Amazon. However, most consumers will look for background information before they commit to buy a product, and especially for reviews to see if other people have had good experiences with it.
So after visiting eBay, a potential buyer might return to Google and type in a specific laptop or camera model plus the word “info” or ‘review,” something like “dell pavilion dv6000 review.” If you optimize your website so it only appears in the search results when people search for this phrase, you will be guaranteed a continuous stream of targeted traffic that has a high probability of making a purchase.
To complete the deal in this situation, you would fill your website with relevant information, reviews, and other media, and add a highly visible eBay widget that displays titles and images from ongoing related auctions. If a visitor clicks on the widget and goes on to buy anything from eBay, you will receive a commission!
How’s That For Easy Money?
This is only one very basic example of how to set up an online income, and there are actually much more profitable ways to make use of eBay as an income source. The purpose of this article is not to get into that, but rather to show you that:
– You can make money online.
– It’s not rocket science.
– The sooner you get started, the sooner you’ll be making a full-time income.
The beauty of online income is its simplicity, compared to traditional business, and also in its duplicability. If you have a profitable idea, you can simply duplicate it in another market! Add on to that the potential for passive, residual income and there is simply no excuse for anyone not to pursue this.
I understand not everyone is ready to make the change at this point. I only ask that you keep what you’ve read here in mind, and if you don’t choose to act on it right now… remember it later, when you say to yourself, “There’s got to be a better way.”
