I’ll get to the steps quickly, but I first want to share a short story with you.
I got an email earlier today from my younger brother basically venting about how frustrated he was with himself that things weren’t going the way that he wanted them to. He’s not been able to find a job, so he has no money. We’ve talked about getting him into making money online, but he just hasn’t jumped into it yet.
Everything he said got me really fired up and motivated to help him, so I fired off a quick response with step by step instructions on what he needed to do RIGHT NOW to get started making money online. After I wrote it all out and sent it off I thought, you know what, this would be great for others to hear too. So, here’s a word for word copy of what I sent to him (personal fluff edited out to spare you the boredom) (edit: specific niche removed, but this works for any niche).
******************
You’ve got what it takes to succeed in life. You just have to apply
the right things at the right time. You’re a smart guy with a lot of
knowledge. Just apply what you know. You know that you can make
money on the internet. Now just figure out the best way for you, and
apply it. I honestly believe the best way for you to make money on
the internet is using Adsense and content sites. You can do this for
FREE. It just takes effort.
Here’s how.
- Pick a niche that you’re interested in that you can make money at:
hint: [INSERT YOUR NICHE HERE] is a huge niche and makes tons of money - Go create a blogger blog at blogger.com: use something that
includes your niche keyword like: YOURNICHE.blogspot.com. - Start writing short posts with info about your niche: for example,
- How I learned [interesting topic from your niche]
- 3 Simple Steps to [important topic from your niche] - Add Adsense ads to your blogger blog
- Go to clickbank.com and sign up for an account
- Search the clickbank marketplace for products in your market that
you can promote on your blog - Create a “hoplink” for that product from within clickbank.
- Go back and add your hoplink to your posts on your blogger blog.
- Use all the techniques you know to generate traffic to your blog: for example
- Make a Squidoo lens that points to your blog
- Create bookmarks to your blog posts on all the popular bookmarking
sites like Digg.com and del.icio.us
- Stumble your posts using StumbleUpon
- Post intelligent comments on other blogs in your niche and use
your blog URL as the URL when you post the comment
- Post intelligent responses in forums in your niche and include a
link to your blog in your signature.
This is not rocket science stuff and it’s all FREE. Just do it! It
takes work, but you CAN make money at it.
******************
I hope that I motivated my brother enough to get off his duff and get started, and I hope this motivates you too!
It’s not hard to make money on the internet, but it does take work. So, get to work putting the steps above into actions and start making some money online.
Here’s to your success online.
If you like (or don’t like) what I had to say, leave me a comment. I’d love to hear what you think.

I’ll give it a go…I’ve been looking at a way to generate traffic to my site http://WWW.HELPBUTTON.CA

I hope some of the traffic tips can help you Robin. Traffic is always one of the biggest stumbling blocks for getting started online. The tips above are a good start.
Forums are a great way to get links coming back to your site, but you need to be sure to post intelligent helpful responses or you’ll get flamed pretty bad.
Another good idea for forum traffic is to try to get a post that gets stickied, that can really add the traffic because that post will show on a lot more pages, and get a lot more views.
Good luck, and let me know if there is anything more I can do to help.

I give away a pharmacy discount card on my website that can be very valuable to many people, but, because it is 100 % free I believe it is being disregarded as a gimmick or a scam. How can I overcome this problem? Charging a fee for the product will not work.
