How I earned my initial dollars on the Internet
I had followed her instructions and also signed up for several free programs to know more about the various programs and training methods available for free. There are several video and audio training and several ebooks and reports in PDF. I found that there is a wealth of information we can get from the internet. But there are also plenty of scams, hype and blatant lies.
1. I also subscribed to a few newsletters and make notes.
2. Follow Internet Marketing News for updating my knowledge.
3. Joining and participating in forum discussions gave me the feeling that I can also try to earn my share of the Internet millions.
4. Download and study free videos, audio lessons and training material available at ‘Make Money Today’ membership site.
The above exercises helped me to get rid of the skepticism making money online is a big lie and we can only loose money on the net. I got a good understanding of how the system works. I tried to read and understand the meaning of often used words in the internet marketing jargon like Search Engines, Page Ranks, Blogging, Affiliates, and so on.
We only have to observe, ask questions and make use of good advice to dispel our doubts and disbeliefs. It is also very very important to put the knowledge to use. That means taking action. Taking action alone is not enough; you must stay focused and also persist. Internet marketing involves work that is simple.
Once I gained confidence, I joined some free affiliate programs and tried to promote them. I have to admit that I was not serious enough and did not know that we have to do certain things on a daily basis though it takes only an hour or so. So there I was, making no progress.
It just occurred to me one day that I must try one of the cheapest products so that I will be more serious and regular as I have made some investment of real money. I came across an info product called Instant Cash Secrets in IMNewswatch.com. I felt this was a good product for beginners and also because of its low price which is only $7 and I can earn 100% commission by selling it. I immediately bought it on 15th February 2008. . (By now I have gained some knowledge of how to identify a good program). http://tinyurl.com/2qfqbb I could download the PDF eBook immediately.
The contents of the eBook threw open new doors for me. It has clear instructions of 4 different ways to make money online. I was interested in affiliate marketing and got down to promoting it immediately.
How did I promote it?
1. I signed with different internet marketing forums and started making posts. There are two kinds of posts. 1) You ask questions by creating a new thread to learn on specific topics and get answers from other forum members. 2) You can post a reply to the existing post if you have something useful to offer. The advantage is that you can promote your product with your forum signature which contains the URL of your affiliate website. These forums also allow you to place ads for your products.
2. I made a post in my blog.
3. I posted some ads wherever it is allowed free.
I was surprised on 1st March to find a mail announcing the receipt of my first internet income of $7! From then on, I got a sale for the next 5 days. Now till I write this I had made 8 sales in less than 2 months. This is what I have achieved with my limited knowledge of affiliate marketing.
I started my WordPress blog http://holidayresortsblog.com on 2nd March 2008 under the able guidance of Ms. Rangoo. On the 8th of April 18, 2008, I have made $10 so far in Google AdSense through this blog.
It is difficult to explain my feelings here as I am making some progress in my efforts to earn online, even though I have been earning through my freelance article writing for the internet over a year.
It is my fervent hope that readers of this who are new to Internet marketing will find it useful and put it to action and benefit.

'AdSense Secrets' at $9.95 – Joel Comm's Irresistible Offer
Why is AdSense Secrets available at $9.95?
I know part of the answer but you need to think a lot more to understand it completely.
Before you get into all that it is better you benefit from the offer while it is available.
Many of you know that I advice you to start your online earning through Google AdSense.
The main reason is that you do not need any sales skills, you need not find affiliate programs to promote, Google selects and places the ads on your site. Your visitors need not buy anything. If they show interest in the ad, they click on it and read what the advertiser has to offer you get paid.
The earning may not be great but the easy way in which you make those pennies beats all other programs.
Now you can earn more from Google AdSense by learning some important tips from an AdSense expert.
Joel Comm has released the fourth edition of his book AdSense Secrets in ebook format. The price is: $9.95
Joel was the first person from whom I learned about Google AdSense when I started online. The latest book takes into account all the latest changes.

Web2.0 Optimized WordPress Blog and Unique Content
Many of the people who contact me are overwhelmed by the idea of writing unique content on their niche topic day after day.
The second most disturbing factor is the amount of time they need to spend in promoting their blog.
A number of them are already doing a full time job. They cannot leave their job and spend time on this unless they know they will be able to earn a consistent income month after month through their online venture.
The only solution seems to be automating whatever can be automated and saving human energy for the best of the best activities.
Jonathan Leger has a unique solution for unique content.
Watch a video on ‘Instant Article Wizard’.
You have to watch the video to believe the quality of the content created with so much research. it is supreme artificial intelligence at work. And the articles read better than what I can write after hours of tweaking.
Alvin Phang has a solution for blog promotion. His Automatic Blogging comes with a detailed guide and ‘Atomic Blogging Social Bookmarking Plugin Version 2.0′.
I think these two products together solve the most time consuming aspects of creating and maintaining a blog.
