- First things first: Get yourself a half decent website. This is key, become a publisher of content. This is going to be your home, your starting point, the game will be to drive tons of traffic here eventually.
- Use Social Media: There was a time when discovery of content was difficult, but Facebook, Twitter and gang have changed that. Be sure to share your story via these channels. Build a base and serve them with valuable content regularly
- Monetize traffic: Once you’ve started driving traffic to your site, the fun part begins. You can start monetizing it with Google Adsense. All you have to do is place a small little code snippet on your site and almighty Google will start placing ads relevant to your content. You will earn money whenever someone clicks on these ads
- Become An Affiliate: Once you’re fairly confident about your traffic and understand its behavior, you can start placing affiliate ads. These are, in most case, Pay per Sale which means you make money only when a visitor clicks on the banner and makes a purchase on the merchants website. While this isn’t as simple as the Adsense, there is a significantly higher amount of money to be made.
- Curate Content: Once you start playing this game, you develop the most valuable asset; Insight. You understand customer behavior, you become a name, a credible source. At this point, your visitors buy in to what you suggest/recommend. Advertisers love curators. They pay a pretty penny to credible taste-makers to recommend their products or to just review it. You know you’ve made it big when this happens.
This my friends, is how you make money on the internet. Sure it sounds easy but remember, there are atleast a million players in whichever field you choose. So remember these golden words “Add value to your visitor’s lives”, people will give you their most precious commodity, TIME.
