I’m always being asked; how do you make real money online? And it frustrates me to think that there are so many people who try to earn money on the internet and just give up. The online business is the easiest business I know of!

There are numerous ways of making real money online, and I’ve researched and dabbled in most of the main ones. What I’ve found is for return vs time and money involved; affiliate marketing is the way to go!

Affiliate marketing means selling a product created by someone else for a commission. This is really handy especially for beginners because it means you don’t have to create a product of your own and you don’t have to handle anyone else’s products! Have a look on ClickBank and paydotcom, you’ll see thousands of products and services in many different categories. You’ll see some with commissions of 75%!

Some people just try to sell products in lots of different niches, this will work to some extent. However to make real money online a much more effective method is by building a following in one certain area and selling products in that area. For example someone in the dog training niche would only sell products related to dog training or at least products some way related to dogs. This type of marketing is the most effective way to earn cash online.

By building a following in a certain niche you can build strong relationships with your followers by means of sending out a newsletter with valuable information. This way if you say a product is worth buying it is more likely your followers will believe you and buy the product. This is how to make real money online. If on the other hand you collect email addresses from lots of different niches and sent out a newsletter selling a product to them, there is likely going to be lots of people who have no interest in the product you are selling and so sales will be low.
