The absolute secret to making money online is this…………There is NO secret!

Let me explain……..I was one of the ones searching for “the missing piece” or “the secret code” or whatever other type of B____T! that they try to sell you on.
Not to burst anyone’s bubble, but there is no “magic” button to push, or program that you can “plug into” and start making massive money……sorry……The reality side…..yes you can make money online…….No, it is not difficult………Yes, it Does require work………And Yes, if your serious about this and not just screwing around, you need a domain name…a Hosting account….and an Auto responder.

For some reason, the last sentence turns many people away for whatever reason, and they continue to throw money away on this program or that program, that promises the sky, and of course, fails on delivery. If the reason that people get turned away is because of not wanting to spend money, lets break it down………Your domain name is about $8 to $10 a year……yes, a YEAR……Web hosting, is anywhere from $5 to $12 a month…….An auto responder costs roughly the same as web hosting……..How many $47 or maybe $67 e-products have you bought?……….And how much money have they made you?

Think about this….You have a domain name, a hosting account and auto responder set up, online and getting traffic. You then come across an incredible niche that you are really excited about…..what would be the cost of a second domain with hosting and a new series of messages for a new mailing list? answer: the cost of your second domain name, or about $12 a year! My Hosting account lets me host nearly unlimited domains, and my Auto responder allows me to run multiple e-mail lists. What other type of business is there that you can get into with such a minimal expense, and then expand at will for $12 a year?

This is THE secret that all of the big guns of internet marketing use.

Create (a product) …Promote (to their list and the lists of their guru friends)
Then Repeat Repeat Repeat…

So the cost is really irrelevant …what about the techno stuff, like a website…..simple, and very effective,your Hosting account lets you install a WordPress blog with one click of the mouse. Then you download and install a FREE traffic getting plugin and you now have a website that only needs some content.

The short and sweet run down on how this all fits together is as follows……You find a niche that you want to market….you don’t even need to have a product of your own, you can market someone else’s from sites such as Clickbank…..You purchase a domain name related to your niche……set up your Wp blog on your hosting site, offer something for free to your visitors, such as a free e-book,and capture their name and e-mail in exchange for the free download, which goes to your auto responder that starts sending a series of follow-up e-mails delivering good free content to them with an occasional mention of a product that you are selling…..Thats the short version of the big secret to making money online…….a little work, (I will explain in detail…easy)…..yet once set up, requires only updating.

Once you have an established niche site up and functional, it’s time to start another one.

This has been a very general post, but will be followed up by a series of future posts expanding on niche research,how to find one…….picking a domain name…..Setting up your website…….writing follow-up e-mails for your auto responder, and putting up a lead capture page.
