5 Ways To Make Money Online Today

If you are not sure exactly what you should be doing online, don't worry! In this article I'm going to show you some of the best ways to make money online in the year 2003.

Become an affiliate:

This is probably the easiest and the hardest way to make money online. It's easy as it cost's you nothing to join an affiliate program, but it's hard because so many affiliates fails. The stats are 95% of all affiliates never make a cent, but there is help. With the following resources, you will be a step ahead of the rest.

Allan Gardyne's Free Associateprograms.com is a brilliant site to start with. His newsletter is the best in the business.

Phil Wiley's Free Ozemedia.com and newsletter is great, if you can, I would buy his book straight away.

Rob's Free Profitpuppy.com is a hard hitting guide to affiliate programs, straight from the trenches

Create Your Own Software:

This could probably be a bit over your head if you are just starting, but software is selling like hotcakes online. A few examples of what I mean would be, Headergenerator.com and Ecovergenerator.com. These basically just allow you to create your own graphics for your website with out having to hire it out to others.

You can learn more about software and programming from the following resources.

Ben Praters Softwaresecretsrevealed.com is a great guide from someone who is actually making his fortune with software.

Ryan Deiss's Deadsoftware.com is another great site to learn about using pre existing software for your own profits.

Create Your Own Ebooks:

This is the easiest to get up from the ground as you don't need a lot of expensive resources or knowledge. While it seems every man and his dog are creating ebooks and selling them online, it's still a very viable business, and very profitable if you can come up with a topic for your book that is in great demand.

There are only 2 resources you should be checking out if you are new online, (there's a lot more later on down the track).

One is Terry Deans Netbreakthroughs.com which is the ultimate marketing site online. It doesn't matter what you are creating or selling online, you need this site. He shows you exactly what to do with real life examples. This is the most highly recommended site on the Internet to my liking.

The other is Bill Myers Bmyers.com. This site is great for coming up with product ideas but I'm still a little dubious on his online marketing tactics he suggests. Either way, the cost of his membership site is nothing to the amount of ideas you will get for potential killer products.

Create A Members Site:

This is becoming the most popular method of making money online now. Membersites that pay you monthly is where the money is at. Why work your butt off to write a book that's only going to pay you once, when you can write content that will pay you month after month.

The best place to learn about membersites is Paidmembersites.com run by Terry Dean and a few other marketing experts.

Sell On Ebay:

I can not see selling on Ebay ever fading to the point where it's unprofitable to do so. While it may seem everyman and his dog are selling on Ebay, and it's true, it's still very profitable. All you have to do is find a target niche market and give them everything they need. Don't even think about trying to sell electronic goods on Ebay unless you can get them at super cheap prices and have a large quantity to sell constantly.

The best way to learn about Ebay is to get a few products together and sell them. There are plenty of guides on selling on Ebay, most of them you can get from Ebay itself. I also recommend, if you are going to sell on Ebay, that you have another look at Bmyers.com. He talks quite a lot about Ebay, and it's good information.

Well, there you have. Those are probably the most profitable businesses on the Internet right now.

Good luck!

 The Top Sellers On eBay & We Can Learn From Them
A fascinating eBay case study is the number one seller on eBay, a little outfit called Marie's CDs, but is better known under its old name "1 Cent CD." Jay and Marie, current ID "jayandmarie", are an institution on eBay and are a big part of what makes eBay such an amazingly popular phenomenon.

This little company is literally an eBay dream come true. They started small out of their home in California in 1999 and began growing quickly. To date they have completed over 1 million auctions on eBay and have a feedback rating of 177,018 with 99% satisfaction from their customers!

When I say grow, I mean it in a Jack and the Beanstalk kind of way. Their business started out as a little fly-by-night outfit and has now sold over 1 million dollars (yep, that's $1,000,000) annually fo. . . .

 eBay Motors: eBay's Most Profitable Department
eBay cars and vehiclesare among the top sellers on this enormously popular auction site. In fact, eBay claims that they sell more cars online than anyone - and more than many dealers. To make it easier for eager buyers to purchase cars, eBay offers many services like 'Live Chat' help for listing and buying vehicles between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 PM MST, Monday through Friday.

There are car dealers whose business is primarily on eBay, like the seller of the Lexus below who states, "We are a licensed and bonded auto dealer in Florida, specializing in top quality pre-owned vehicles. We sell 90% of our cars and trucks on eBay, and our low overhead allows us to pass the savings on to you!"

The lure of savings, is of course, what brings buyers in droves to eBay. And it is a. . . .

 Forgive All Ebay Sins!
Over the years, I have been amazed at the “blinding” greed and reckless approach
to commerce that some business owners have employed. Lying to customers, selling inferior merchandise, and not offering refunds, left a firestorm of irate customers in
their wake. Without fail, all of this “ill will” led most businesses to bankruptcy,
and in some cases, Federal Prison.

I realize that not everyone engages in “business criminality” that rises to the level of fraud and incarceration. Most people try to be good stewards and approach their enterprise in an honest and forthright manner. For those of you who own thriving business concerns you already know that in most cases the customer is always right.
You make sure that you communicate effectively, refund monies if the buyer . . . .

 eBay Increases Fees and Sends eBay Sellers and Investors into a Panic
On January 13, eBay sellers received an unwelcome announcement from eBay. Fees were going up.

Partly due to our tendency to "skim" messages and partly due to the way in which the announcement was worded, the result was widespread panic and threats of mutiny.

Many sellers started to "boycott" eBay, and began taking their business to places like Yahoo auctions, and Overstock.com.
After issuing another email "clarifying" the price increases, eBay finally sent everyone a "Message from Bill Cobb" on February 6.

Bill Cobb, who became President of eBay North America in December of 1004, stated that he'd been "taking it all in" and "thinking hard about how we can make sure eBay remains a fun, safe place to trade, and a prosperous home for our many dedicated sellers." Read The Rest Of This Article
