Make Money Online: Some Preliminary Steps

It's approximately a year and a half after I started my blogging activities, and I've become too familiar with the term "make money online". If there's anything I've learned in the past year, it is definitely about online moneymaking. And here's the compilation of things you will need to make money online, based on my experience (and strategies of the well-known names in this department that I've managed to steal :) and incorporate in my own) :

First Step, register a Paypal account. Visit this link to arrive at the Paypal registration form. It's free and only takes a couple minutes. All you need to have is a valid email account (Yahoo Mail or Gmail will do). This is necessary so that you can receive payments or pay instantly.

Second Step. You should have at least two PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertisement publisher accounts. Globally, Google Adsense is still the leading party. However there are other PPC ad services like

Adbrite or BidVertiser that's worth trying, as well as those local ad services that available for your country. Visit the links to register.

Mind you, using a different email address for each service might be helpful. And DON'T EVER put all those ads in the SAME blog/website for number of reasons: first, your blog won't look so good with that many ads around, Second, you won't get the maximum numbers of potential clicks for each ad from the unique visitors, especially because they are theoretically only have 50% chance to give ONE click on your ad. Don't make that number any less by adding unnecessary ad unit. Always remember to learn about their Terms of Service (TOS) to avoid violating any rules.

Third Step

Create a ClickBank account.

Fourth Step

Join one or more paid for reviews program like Sponsored Reviews, or ReviewMe.

Fifth Step

Create an Amazon or e-bay account.

Sixth Step

Learn about domaining. Invest to buy domain names. You can use it for your own blog/website, or as commodities to sell later, on a right price. Search for available domain here. Registration fee is only $9.99 at the most and that is for one year. If you do things right, that $9.99 can leads to $100/$1000/$10,000 profits when you sell it to interesting party. You can also park it for a residual income through PPC. Even if a domain name you own only sold for $50, you already created app. $40 of profit. Not bad.

Seventh Step
Join several referral programs at once (website which pay you when you refer someone else to join them). Join Hostgator, HD Publishing, 000Webhost or People Search if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Eighth Step

You have to subscribe this blog by email to receive this step.

Finally, after applying all of those steps you will arrive at what I called The Potentials. A preliminary steps that required to make money online in decent quantities. This is where you start. And I would remind you that it's all hardwork from here. At least for the first three months-1st year.

To sums things up, consider that you've completed all the steps above, now you have up to 15 potential income streams (minimal) ready to be incorporated into one or more of of your blogs.

Having more than one blog will speed things up, but that' s not a wise choice if you don't really have a time to maintain them properly.

Finally, good luck. And let me know what you think.
