Ideas To Make Money Online

By Dale Nelson


When working from home, you can definitely structure your movements around your business instead of planning your day around your movements. The online business allows you to go the the local coffee shop and return calls , emails and call on anyone you need to simply taking your laptop and a 3G card with you. Having all your files on your computer or online means your work from home business is still very much mobile. You can really work your ideas with ease.

You will now read about the internet marketing tips and tricks used by the top internet marketers in South Africa. What you are going to read here are the simple truths that have made those blogs and websites of the pros climb steadily to page one and to take on the giants in any niche you want to focus on. They are simple yet effective tools that can make or break your efforts online and are recommended to conquer the South African search engines.

Lets have a look at some of these methods that you can try;

Creating an online business can actually be quite simple in your area. The first and best method you should use, once you have learned how to work from home online and tested the proven techniques used, is to build a simple blog with a client's details so that they can easily be found in the market. Many of these companies are clueless as to how the internet works and you can offer a simple one off solution to provide their contact details and use the Google map function to show their address. These two things are usually enough to give the search engines enough to show their business when you search online for them. You can easily charge a thousand rand for this service.

If you write newsletters for a specific market, you are bound to have a list of subscribers and readers.Some people do not have the time to build these lists of potential customers and will gladly buy a service from you for a specific price. Let us say you charge an extra R 300, on top of building their website, to do a monthly newsletter and create a subscriber base for their website. It may be as simple as setting up their email address on the website and an email capture program which is freely available to download on the internet.

Once you have found some good free blog or website templates, it would be wise to read up a little on how cascading style sheet, or CSS as it is known, works with simple changes. Being able to copy and paste templates from visually appealing sites you have come across will teach you how easy it is to create colour changes and heading fonts and uploading of company logos with simple changes to the coding of these pages.

If you can write easily or are used to doing research into a niche market or topic you will easily find work online as a content writer. If you don't like to learn how to use CSS or HTML in making fresh websites or blogs, then you can write for those internet marketers who do, but just don't have the time to make the content for their clients. These articles are usually a minimum of 500 words, but are easy enough to do in order to make a thousand bucks a day. There is just too much out there on the internet needed for the market to have no work. You can choose from a number of markets to write in.

Another outsourced position online is called forum posting. At one time or another, most of us have found a forum on a topic we are researching on the internet. The people in these forums are sometimes paid to sit on these forums all day long or for their shift and send readers to a list of recommended products in that specific market. This is because the person selling the product would rather be working on other avenues of the business and pay someone to do it for them. Forum posting is a good method to add a little extra cash to your bottom line every month

In South Africa, there is a major increase in new internet marketers every year. Once these newbies find their feet in building blogs, articles and websites, they are often not that clued up on how to make a video about their website. This may open a gap for lessons you may be able to provide. This has left a massive gap in the market for someone to offer videos that may need to be scripted or even read for them in increments of only a few minutes. These are then uploaded to content sites like YouTube in the hope of directing traffic to their websites. Noting that Google now owns this website goes a long way to improving credibility with the search engines for your blog or website. So what could you charge? Make some different price points dependent on what is required.

If you are good at working with Photoshop type programs will give you an easy way to work online for other website and blog designers who don't have the expertise or time to make the logos or photo headers for their customers. If you could turn out a few of these a day at say a couple of hundred bucks each, you could turn over quite a healthy income every week. It is very easy to find these jobs and compete against the oversees companies or even local ones who have to employ staff to do this or have office rentals to pay.

A gap has been created to teach people live on Skype via the selling of online courses on any subject from your website.For a small payment each week, day or month you could give a Skype address for the lessons and be able to build your expertise with small niche markets. This is something that I will be looking to do one day whereby I can interview an expert in a specific field for say 30 minutes at a time. It could be video recorded for YouTube or even for future use. The potential to teach subjects in South Africa is endless at the moment as more and more students move to the internet for online learner-ships that are far cheaper than classroom based events that require travel etc.

Blogs are still my biggest earners at the moment and I recommend to all internet marketers who work from home to learn how easy it is to buy a domain name in any market and create and monetize a blog for advertising revenue. You can download free templates in any niche you want and create an online presence in that niche market. Once you learn blogging, any ideas you have will enable you to find a product, get some advertising and start to write some decent content for your readers. By figuring the formula out will enable you to duplicate an easy system for making money online. Everyday you just add some new content and continue to look for your next blog idea.

If you can master the art of building blogs, you will be able to find other internet marketers who share the same philosophy of making money online. You can start to learn different tactics and hints that will help you move forward easily. Every blogger has learned or found something that someone else has not quite grasped yet. Learning from blogging forums is a great way to take your ideas to the next level and create a good reputation to other learning how to make money form blogging in South Africa.

If you upload videos to the internet, you already have the means to take this video and use the audio parts of it to generate additional linking back to your blog or website. If you have already done the work at home to make the video, then why not use it again. These simple secrets are what enables one marketer to place his content ahead of another on the internet search results. Some times these simple yet effective methods enable you to double your income for you blogs and websites.
