Earning Money Online Fast: Sometimes You Just Have To Go Out and Get It!

One of the major difficulties that people have in their quest to earn money online is that they lack real motivation to succeed. So many just want to throw up a website and wait for the money to roll in. Well, life is not like that- and neither is business.

Most of the time the only real way to make money for yourself is to get out and hustle!

Don't be afraid of the hustle- it can yield truly impressive results.

See what I mean in this awesome vlog post from Gary Vaynerchuk.

How To Make Money Online- Quickly!

Think it can't be done? Well, think again.

There are a number of ways a person with no experience, and no (or very little) money can use to earn cash at home quickly. Today I'm going to share two that I use in my own business.

No, I'm not talking about doing paid surveys or anything like that.

I mean, paid surveys definitely work if you do enough of them, but getting signed up and getting enough offers to make real money takes a bit of time.

What I want to tell you about are 2 popular affiliate marketing techniques that can potentially put money in your PayPal account much faster than completing a survey. Maybe even today.

Cool, no?

So, without further interruption, here are 2 of my favorite fast cash facilitators.


1. Affiliate Marketing with CPA Networks

There seems to be a renewed interest in CPA Networks for people looking to earn extra cash online, and it's no wonder. CPA (or Cost Per Action) Networks bring merchants and affiliates together and can be a great way to make some easy money online if you have more friends (or contacts) than money or time.

When you sign up with a CPA network like Commission Junction, Max Bounty or Linkshare, you'll find companies that will pay you to refer people to their site. Many of the paid survey sites use these networks to find new members for their survey panels, but you can also find some of the major players in both online and offline sales on these sites as well. Wal-mart, Best Buy, Amazon, eBay, Netflix and many others are (or were) all represented by CPA's.


Some companies will pay you as soon as your referrals sign up. Other programs will require that they make a purchase, start a free trial, etc. Each company and offer is different, so make sure you know what you're signing up for.

The amount you'll make per referral varies for each program, but the lowest payout I've seen is $1 per qualified lead. The highest was around $175 per qualified lead.

This method is easiest if you have a blog/website and at least a small list, but i
f you don't have either, you can refer your friends, family or other contacts through email, letters, etc.

You can also use your referrer or affiliate id in your forum signatures and online profiles, giving you an even larger base of potential sign ups!

This is truly a viable way to get started easily and for free. I just love it.


2. Affiliate Marketing with Google Hot Trends

If you're willing to spend a few bucks to get the most out of it, this one is kind of fun.

First the basics. Every hour Google updates it's list of most searched for topics, known as Hot Trends. This list not only shows you what people are searching for, but it gives you an indication of how popular the topic is based on how many sites are discussing it, how many advertisers are buying ads for that keyword and other data that you can use to market affiliate products... almost without trying.

So, how does it all work?

Well, as they say, the devil's in the details. I've already given you the basics you'd need to get started, but how you apply this method is the key to making it truly successful.

I could try to explain that part to you and make a mess of it, but I'd rather just recommend you purchase the program that I used to learn this technique, an incredible program created by Steven Wagenheim that will not only explain it, but literally show you how to do it step-by-step.

There aren't too many programs like this that I would feel good about recommending to you, but I know this system works. I use it myself, everyday.

Steven Wagenheim's Hot Trends Daily
is simply a must have if you're looking to make some quick cash using this method. I know it seems counter-productive to spend money to make money, but just trust me on this one. This program delivers the goods.

And there you have it: Two methods you can use to make money online that don't require experience of any kind. Pick the one that most appeals to you or try them both.

Just get out there and make some money!

Safe Harbor For The Hunted: The 5 Sites Every IM Newbie Should Visit First

If you understand nothing else about earning money online, understand this:

If you're just getting started...you are PREY.

The awful truth is... there are many people for whom the "newbie" marketer is a sweet treat, to be gobbled up and swallowed whole as quickly as possible. They have created an entire market of products designed to fool, mislead or even outright lie to you.

They'll dazzle you with techniques that you can't really use yet, or only give you small pieces of the puzzle, leaving you to wonder why after purchasing several products and trying everything they've suggested, you still aren't successful.

These people will sell you absolutely anything to make a profit. They DO NOT CARE if you succeed.

It's almost enough to make you throw in the towel, isn't it?

Well, the really excellent news is that there actually are quite a few genuine sites that will help you make real money online.

The owners and contributors of these sites, forums and blogs are committed to honesty and integrity in their marketing, and their advice will help you to create the online income stream you are looking for- without ripping you off in the process.

The way it should be.


Here are 5 sites I think offer incredible information and tips to the new Internet Marketer. You should check each one out if you truly want to learn the ins and outs of making money online from people who are doing it everyday.


1. The Warrior Forum

This is the premier internet marketing forum on the net. You will find the biggest and the best in the community post here, offering their insights and sometimes incredible business techniques for free. Definitely deserving of the number one spot.


2. WAHM

This forum, though targeted to WAHMs (Work At Home Moms), is a fantastic place to find information. The women (and men) who post here are an amazing resource for anyone who is still getting their 'internet legs'.


3. Affiliate God

On this site Ryan Moran, the 21 year old superstar who created this program, has detailed the path he used to create an $100 per day income for himself, and graciously shares these methods for free.


4. Squidoo

Created by marketing master Seth Godin, Squidoo is a site that you can use not only to learn, but to make some cash as well. Each page, or lens, is a mini-site of sorts, which can be used to learn (or teach) about absolutely anything. All sorts of priceless information can be found here.


5. Seth's Blog

This is Seth Godin's blog home. It really doesn't offer a lot of direct, step by step advice on how to make money, online or off. What it does provide, is some of the most thought provoking business and marketing material available on the web. If you're serious about making money, you need to check out Seth's Blog.
