How To Make Money Online Selling
Nothing!
Do you want to know one of the easiest ways to make
money online?
Sell Nothing! Really.
Tell me:
- How
many people you know want stuff for free?
- How many people you know of
want stuff for free?
- How many of your visitors want stuff for
free?
- How many of your subscribers want stuff for free?
- How many
people surfing the Net want stuff for free?
This last one I can
give you some indication: according to Overture there were over 500,000
searches in January 2004 for "free", and tons more with "free" as a part
of the search term.
So why not give the people want they want? And
make money while doing it.
How do you go about it?
You can
give away an ebook or report and hope to benefit from the viral marketing
effect - someday.
But that's not what I am talking
about.
You can have them sign up for a free report or course
through an autoresponder so that you can get their email address and
market to them I future.
But that's not what I am talking
about.
You can give away a demo or trial version and hope that they
will upgrade later.
But that not what I am talking
about.
No! I am talking about REALLY selling nothing!
All
over the Internet there are businesses looking for leads and who are
prepared to pay for these leads. They will pay you to send them people,
whether these people buy anything or not. And all you need to do is find a
way to send them people
Most of these businesses will pay you
anything from a few cents (forget about them) to a substantial Dollar
amount for these leads and very often the qualification criteria is very
simple. It could be completing a form fora free quote, or subscribing to a
free newsletter.
The products can range from magazines to life
insurance, vitamins to dating services, cash loans to personal injury
claims. All you need to do is send them people.
Do you have a
reasonable traffic to your web site?
Do you have a fair size
mailing list?
The chances are that you can generate a good, regular
income from this by selecting the right program, a program that matches
your target market. Or create a new web site that focuses on a target
market you choose.
How do you go about it?
1. Use affiliate
program managers like Clixgalore or Commission Junction whose system
allows you to search for the programs that pay per lead.
2. Rank
your programs by EPC (Earnings per 100 clicks). High earnings per 100
clicks normally indicate a good conversion rate from visitor to
lead.
3. Look for programs that pay a reasonable amount per ead.
Paying you in cents is not really going to work unless their conversion
rate is very high AND you can send them a lot of traffic.
4. Look
for programs where you believe you can generate a reasonable amount of
traffic. If the program has a good conversion rate the traffic do not have
to be astronomical.
5. Look at their requirements for a lead to
qualify. If they expect the visitor to jump through too many hoops before
you see a cent, forget it. The simpler the better.
6. Then promote
it through your mailing list, on your web site or even set up a new web
site for it.
A quick example:
A program I joined generated
21 leads from 43 click throughs and only 150 page views - a conversion
rate of 13.6% in it's first three days and generating ZAR1050 pure profit,
R650 per 100 impressions or ZAR2431 per 100 clicks..
And this from a
basic one page web site.
This is really money for jam!

Well success and good
luck
