The other day,a valued subscriber to my newsletter asked me: “Kevin, what is the greatest thing you ever did for your online business.”
That got my head spinning because I have done quite a number of things that made great impact to me and my business.
Before I could hit the reply button and answer her question (by the way, I always answer my subscribers’ questions), I thought, why not share this with all the valued readers of my blog too?
So,here we go…
The best thing I did was to start blogging.
Let me explain why. To start with, my website was a static mini site with only the homepage, privacy policy and support page.
To be frank, I got disappointed every time I headed over to google to search for my domain name only to be asked whether I was looking for another one closely related to mine. Even though my website was still returned as the first result on Google, the impression passed on by google to someone looking for my website was not the best, right?
Kind of like this site is not all that authoritative (at least in Google’s eyes)
Yet I had done most o the things the seo experts advised me to do and continually pumped up my effort but every step i took seemed to yield little results
Then one day, one nice guy on digitalpointforums (forgive my poor memory guys I forgot his name, but I was not so good in school either) advised me to start a blog and keep working for back links. Since I was already generating back links to my websites, I decided to follow through with his other advice in addition and I started a blog several days later.
I am one person who strongly believes in taking action and starting the blog was a great game changer for me. My pagerank automatically shot within a few weeks and my website shot to life. I now get amazed everytime I find new keywords for which I am ranking and it’s not surprising to find me on th first page of google for some of them. It’s as if I became a friend of Google instantly.
All that happened within a span of a few weeks and I thank goodness I started blogging.
So if you have not yet started blogging, consider adding this weapon to your arsenal for website and online business promotion strategies.

Like we said in the last post how to make money online for beginners, a good online business is based on a system and you must have a solid plan of action before you fire up your effort, based on your time availability, budget and competence.
You the execute your tasks systematically to achieve your financial goals and freedom. That’s how you end up in Hawaii to hang and dine with the gurus. Heck that’s Sweet, huh!
The purpose of this post is to show you proven methods to stay motivated as you build your online business empire like the Gurus.
Have a Vision Board: – This is kind of like a practical application of the much acclaimed Law of attraction. What you essentially do is to figure out what success rolls out to in the context of you, you and you alone
-how will your life be like once you are truly successful?
-What dream vacation does your heart cherish?
-What is your dream car like? And house?
- What do you want to accomplish before you die? (Damn, death is certain like taxes)
Then develop a vision board shouting all these to you and keep it where you can see it every day. Let it shower you with all those nice things.
See every task you accomplish as a leap towards pulling all those things in your vision board into reality.The joy of drawing nearer to success that was once only a dream is motivating enough to keep marching on.
The first thing I did in 2010 was to develop my vision board. Heck, it’s out of this world with nice photos, goals and great quotes that sooth my spirit every time I glance at them
Purposive learning: – We’ve talked about this before but I’ll mention it yet again because it is so important.
Don’t force your head to absorb and keep track of everything there is to learn in one go. Don’t spend the next five years trying to learn everything under the sun or else you will never get started or worse still get overwhelmed along the way-you have heard about information overload, right?
You don’t have to get everything perfect right off the bat. Get the initial effort rolling then go back to perfect and add-on to it later.
Break your tasks into small manageable chunks then accomplish them progressively while learning what you have got to learn along the way.
Remember there are thousands of freelancers you can hire at elance.com should you ever get stuck along the way.
So, keep going and have fun while you build your online business empire.
Success is imminent as long as you take action, keep focused, follow directions and, of course, have fun while you are at it.

There are many how to make money online for beginners guides on the web today.
After wondering for long how to make money online for beginners and seriously searching online when I was starting out, I noted that most of these how to make money online guides for beginners only list an extensive list of ways to make money online or are simply a mini-copy pitching some turnkey cash kits or something like that.
While I’ve no problem with this approach, it inevitably comes with the risk of information overload and confusion to the beginners. Both of these can deter or delay your success online.
My idea of how to make money online for beginners is a bit different. I am not going to go so much into the details of ways to make money online because I’ve already done that in The Insider Secrets of Internet Wealth. Instead, my approach to how to make money online for beginners will focus on several secrets that will help you leverage on your efforts to get rich online quickly.
My first advice to make money online for beginners is to take massive action. The reason why most people don’t get their online business off the ground is not because they lack the technical know-how but because they are simply too lazy to get anything done or lack the motivation to take action.
There are many how to make money online for beginners guides that promise overnight wealth but none of them will ever work for you if you can’t take action. Period.
Of course there is a learning curve involved but you don’t have to get it right off the bat. Get things rolling then go back to perfect later. Don’t spend the next five years trying to master everything.
My next how to make money online for beginners advice is to have a plan. Have a plan of action before you fire your efforts to build an online business. This will of course depend on your budget and time. Decide on what to sell, traffic generation strategies to use, how to monetize your traffic, how much to spend on paid advertising e.t.c.
However you must be flexible enough to adapt to arising needs and new circumstances. Again, don’t start a day without a plan of action and do something everyday to help you build your online business.
The other how to make money online for beginners advice is to practice continuous education and learning. The web is dynamic and things change pretty fast on the internet. What worked yesterday might not work today. You must therefore keep up with the current trends to remain competitive in your niche.
My next how to make money online for beginners advice is to focus on one project to completion. The problem with most of us is that we are too easilyt distracted online. Don’t scatter your efforts trying to do all sort of projects at the same time.
The next how to make money online for beginners advice is to provide real value to your customers and subscribers. Recommend a product only if you strongly feel and believe it’s going to add value to the lives of your subscribers by helping them achieve their objectives. Don’t recommend that killer product that everyone and their dogs are talking about if it doesn’t add value to your subscribers’ lives.
I hope my version of how to make money online for beginners has helped you in your quest for internet riches. I now challenge you to take massive action and sytematically build an online business. And then of course make lots of money online.

We’ve already covered the first pre-requisite to make money online for beginners.
Now, we’re going to look at the second pre-requisite to make money online for beginners which is to create an offer for your target market identified in the previous step.
Your offer is going to be a product or service that meets the needs of your target market, solves a problem being experienced by your target market or improves the lifestyle of your target audience in one way or the other.
The principles of business whether online or offline are very much the same. Any business thrives on its ability to provide value to its customers. This value should be etched in products or services that are worth your customers’ every last cent. Otherwise they wouldn’t part with their hard-earned dollars and you’ll be faced with dozens upon dozens of refunds and that’s no fun, right?
Your offer is everything and should be something that really adds value to your customers’ lives. So, if in “the first pre-requisite to make money online for beginners” which we have already covered you identified a gap you might fill, go ahead and do it.
Basically there are two possible ways for you to create an offer for your online market.
1. You can sell products to your target market as an affiliate.
2. You can create and sell your own products and sell to that market.
Both methods work and are proven ways to make money online. But whichever way you choose, your offer should address your prospects’ biggest question: “What’s in it for me?”
Show your potential customers how they stand to benefit from your offer. If you found that your target want to lose weight, for example, your offer should show them how to do it. Your offer should show them how you can give a boost to their lifestyle or the kind of lifestyle your product can afford them.Your offer is as god as it solves the needs of your target audience.
One more important thing before moving on to the next step, you also need to have a way to build an email list of present and potential customers. This is especially important for several reasons:
First, most people will not make a purchasing decision until they are exposed to an offer multiple times.
Secondly, your present customers will most likely be your return customers and you can make repeat profits in the future from them by making new offers and recommendations over time. Your list can even help you with surveys when you want to create an information product in the future
Thirdly, building a list enables you to build a relationship with your potential and present customers. If you prove useful to your subscribers’ objectives, you’ll build credibility, trust and respect from your target audience and profit big time in the long run.
To build a list of subscribers, you’ll need an autoresponder. This is basically a piece of software that makes email communication and promotion a breeze.
Basically, an autoresponder sends a pre-loaded sequence of email messages automatically when a prospect fills an opt-in form or sends an email to the autoresponder address.
There are many autoresponder services on the web today, but with unmatched reliability and deliverability, Aweber is hands down the best and the #1 choice for most marketers.
In conclusion, the second pre-requisite to make money online for beginners is simply to create an offer for your target market. That’s simply put, filling a need for your target audience you’ve already identified
