Make The Money Blog

As summer approaches, there are many people, students and adults alike looking to supplement their incomes over the next several months. This annual event of job seeking snares hundreds of thousands of temporary workers into somewhat mundane tasks working for minimum or slightly more than minimum wage.

Although it is a noble effort to seek employment, the truth is many are doing it to occupy their time and have a little extra spending cash. Well, to those that are looking to build a better bankroll, I have a great suggestion!

Take this opportunity to consider building a small business of your own on the Internet. Most people on the internet are already savvy enough to jump right in, and with a little help and direction, it is quite possible to not only make an online business a summer affair, but a long term venture.

If you start a business online, and properly form this business, you will earn cash online throughout the summer and even into Christmas, the next annual event when temporary workers again look for employment to supplement their Holiday buying frenzy.

Starting a business online can be as simple as getting a free blog through wordpress or blogger and putting in adsense, affiliate products or CPA (cost per action) offers to generate an easy few hundred dollars each week. It is not important to understand all the terminology or learn the whole business before you begin. Many people have merely bought one of several dozens of making money information books to learn the ropes.

I strongly recommend looking at some of the top business opportunities offered on the Internet Business Review site and choosing one of these to get you started. All of these programs are user-friendly and well document for quick implementation. It is easily possible that after you begin to build your business, you can have lucrative passive income that you do not have to ‘work’ for or ‘look for a job’ every season.

Good luck and thanks for reading this, if you need any additional info or help in getting started let me know, I am always available to help the ‘new guy’! And remember, bookmark this and tell all your job-seeking friends! (You can even form cool partnerships with them for a powerhouse of a business)

Howard Hughes, the venerable Billionaire once said. “I would rather have 1% of the efforts of 100 men than 100% of the efforts of one man”

Although Howard Hughes would never know such a thing as the Internet would eventually exist, he unwittingly revealed the traffic secrets of getting sales leads to your website. The same prolific business strategy that Hughes used to amass his fortunes could easily be applied in your efforts to generate traffic and sales leads to your online business.

The most powerful traffic secrets for your website are through the efforts of hundreds of other sites. After all, those sites are there for you. For example, if you place a link on twitter and rely only on twitter traffic to bring in your customers, visitors, or sales leads, did you ever consider what you could really be missing? Less than 1% of the total daily Internet users are on Twitter at any one time.

The fact that there are literally hundreds of millions of Internet users, your website is like a tiny pebble that is lost in the midst of the Grand Canyon. In essence, you are merely a grain of sand on the beach of the Internet. So how do you expect that a reasonable amount of people will find you so that you are able to generate sales leads or clicks?

The best traffic secrets method is to follow the advice Howard Hughes gave and start using the efforts of hundreds of sites to bring in your visitors and potential sales leads. Many people make the mistake of concentrating on one source (usually Google) and fail to see the big picture, that literally thousands of sites are available for promoting your products, websites, or information.

Following is a ‘traffic secrets’ plan to get you started, use these techniques to generate traffic from hundreds of other sites. Take an hour each day to sign up to top bookmarking websites, like delicious, technorati, Yahoo buzz (there’s a whole list at the bottom of this post). Then bookmark one of your articles, websites, or blog posts. Commit yourself to bookmarking for one hour each day.

The next step is to write an article related to your product or website and post that into the top article directories. This traffic secrets step may take a little more time, however the rewards from posting to article directories are enormously beneficial, and the traffic is always long term. You should commit to spending two hours a day on this project.

Another hour of your day should be spent on promoting your website through answer websites (my favorite traffic secrets technique). Places like Yahoo Answers, Wikianswers or Mahalo have questions posted by users who need information. Maybe your website or product can offer the solution to their dilemma. Turn your answers into sales leads by looking for related posts to answer the questions, and offer your link where appropriate. (Be careful about trying to Spam, though, these sites do not like it!)

Finally, you should use the services offered by various Pinging websites to alert the Internet world of your latest updates to your blog or website. So take to heart what one of the world’s richest men had to say about business, and use these traffic secrets to force hundreds of sites to help promote your business and give you sales leads.
