If you are anything like me, when you first started trying to make money online you had absolutely no extra money to spare. You couldn't afford to buy a ton of books or attend seminars that would teach you the ropes. Instead, you have to go at it basically on your own. You have to teach yourself everything. My goal with this article is to give you a simple step by step blueprint that will help you get started online without having to spend any money. So here go.
Step 1 - The first and most important thing is to find a huge crowd that you can sell to. A lot of so called gurus teach that you should try to find a non competitive niche to get into. Well, I totally disagree with that for no other reason than that the most competitive niches are the most profitable. So if you truly want to make a lot of money online, you can't be afraid to dive into the super competitive niches such as weight loss.
Step 2 - After you find the crowd you want to sell to, its time to find a product that you can actually sell to them. If you are a newbie the quickest thing you can do is go to ClickBank and find a product you want to promote. As I said in step 1, focus on products that are in competitive niches. For example, weight loss products and make money products.
Step 3 - Now since you don't have a dime to spare, you will need to go over to squidoo or weebly and set up a simple page where you can send you visitors to. Both services are free. All you need to do is put some content on the site and start sending traffic to it. Step 4 is where you will get the content you need to place on your site.
Step 4 - The last thing you need to do is start driving traffic so you can make some sales. My preferred method of driving traffic is via article marketing. Write as many articles as you possibly can. Make sure they provide some sort of value to the reader. If you write a bunch of junk articles, they will not be accepted in most article directories which means you won't be getting very much traffic. Make sure you place the first 5 articles you write on your weebly or squidoo page. This way you have content on your page that will presell your visitors. Also make sure you put your affiliate link to the ClickBank product you are promoting at the end of each article. That's how your sales are tracked so you can get paid.
