Demystifying Fears About Earning Opportunities Online

So you want to earn money online, but there are a lot of reservations in your mind.  You’re most probably thinking about a lot of things that the anonymous channels on the internet have left rather unsecured.  After all, how many horror stories have you heard?  How many people have told you that the World Wide Web is a paradise for scam artists and cyber hoodlums wanting to make some quick bucks at your expense?  

These reservations can’t be helped.  I perfectly understand why you’re nurturing them.  The internet is a fairly new venue for people interaction, and as such, acceptance issues are to be expected.  I mean, when the television was first marketed in the 1950’s, some quarters condemned it as the devil’s tool, right?

But I want to assure – nay – guarantee that earning money online is not only a possibility.  By taking the right steps, you’d discover that it can be a reality.  You’d be surprised to know how many people have been earning thousands, if not millions, of dollars each and every month from the World Wide Web.  No, these people do not run companies.  They do not employ hundreds of employees.  Often, they’re a one-man operation.  And sometimes, they work for 4 hours, at the average, every day to earn what they are currently earning.

But that is a story for another day.  Right now, we’re going to address some of the things that may be bothering you about moneymaking opportunities online.

“How Do I Get Paid?”

The answer to this would depend on which online moneymaking opportunity you will decide to pursue.  Seeing as there are so many online opportunities out there, you’d naturally get varied answers.

Basically, however, and I say this to mean around 70% of the time, people will want to pay you via PayPal ( www.paypal.com ).  If your country is serviced by this company, sign up for an account as soon as possible.  Don’t worry.  Basic accounts are free, and for starters, it’s all that you will need.

Some countries will not be able to access PayPal however.  So accepting credit card payments would be another option.  You could create an account with StormPay (www.stormpay.com ), eGold ( www.egold.com ), MoneyBookers ( www.moneybookers.com ), or iKobo ( www.ikobo.com ), all of which are excellent PayPal alternatives.

If you want to sell your own products, but do not have access to PayPal, you might want to consider opening an account with 2checkout.  For a onetime $49 fee, you’d be able to use their services to process payment.

All of these choices will allow you to transfer online payments to your bank account, wherever in the world you may be, and from wherever in the world your payments may come from.

“Will I Really Get Paid?”

Of course, you will.  Especially if you’re dealing with internet marketers.

Internet marketers value their reputation, you see.  Doing business online means that you have to build credibility so that your prospects would get to trust you.  One fraudulent act on their part would ruin their business.  They wouldn’t want this to happen.

So you could rest assured that these days, online transactions are filled with honor.  Deliver what should be delivered, and you will be paid the amount that was agreed on.

“How Do I Start?”

You have to ask yourself this question: what would you rather do?

There are many moneymaking opportunities online.  Success in each of them would depend on what you could bring to the table.

You could sell your own products, of course, either through your own website or through auction sites like eBay.com .

Or you could be an affiliate from merchants who have already established their online presence.  Basically, you’d only have to promote their products and earn some generous commission for every sale you will manage to refer.  A great place to source out affiliate programs would be clickbank, cj or even amazon.

Or you may want to offer some special skills you have to serve other people.  Are you good with programming?  Graphic design?  Or writing, perhaps?  There is always a market for you as a freelancer.  You could promote yourself in websites like rentacoder, elance or guru.com.

There is an endless stream of earning opportunities in the World Wide Web.  You’ll never run out of options, that’s for sure!

So, what are you waiting for?  Hit the search engines today, weigh your choices well, and start earning amazing income in a virtual world that has become as real as our own.

Start Viral Marketing Campaigns Using E-books

Viral Marketing sounds like something bad but it is actually something very good. It is, also, a powerful way to generate traffic to your website. Think about how a virus spreads from on person to another. One person gets sick and just by sneezing they can give the virus to many more people… those people get sick and share their germs with everyone they know and the next thing anybody knows is that there is an epidemic. That is the very concept of viral marketing. The idea is to get everyone to spread your marketing message around because they want to.  Now let’s look at using an E-book to start your viral marketing campaign. First you create an E-book… a really good one that has links to your website, to your sales page and affiliate links to products and services that you recommend… and you give it to three people.

The Irony of Information Overload

When it comes to Internet marketing, there are a number of woeful ironies. None is worse than the irony of informational overload. Whenever someone asks for advice from seasoned Internet marketers, they will almost always get a reply that goes something like this “first, develop an information base through self-education; then, take action and continue to stay abreast with new developments.” Digital Media Marketing This is excellent advice, but unfortunately, many people fail in the self-education phase. They attempt to take in too much too fast – and are unable to analyze any of it well enough to actually put it into practice. This is also apparent in non-IM niches. Many people who simply receive too many information products will often stop reading them altogether. Even though they could benefit greatly from the information, they have developed a negative connotation that prevents them from considering it. This is important to keep in mind when attempting up-sal...
