Everybody wants to make easy money online. Why? More than 50% of the people in the make money online niche don’t even want to aim for making a fortune. While the fact is that more than 90% of the people in this niche will not be able to even make a living making money off the internet.

That’s when the question drops in that do you want to make easy money online? If the answer is yes then there is one warning: By nature all humans are greedy, if you cannot control your greed you will still make money but will never make easy money. This is different than making extra money, as I’ve already talked about how you can earn extra money in my previous articles. However, it’s only different when you look at it from the perspective I want you to, which is the money-maker’s perspective.

I can see the words coming out of your other ear. What I was trying to say was that you can never make money to your maximum capability if you’re resting. When you’re greedy, your greed want let you take work easy and hence you will make more money but it will not be easy.

The only reason why thousands of people are joining us every year is because of marketers telling them that they can make easy money online. Showing pictures of themselves resting at the beaches, their ferraris and the good life which certainly depicts that making money online is easy which is not the case to some extent.

Many internet marketers argue that there is in fact no such thing as ‘make easy money’. I’ll agree with them when you see that at every other website, they don’t even know what they’re talking about. They grab a few of their friends & family members to write testimonials and the newbie falls into the trap.

I agree with that thinking. However, if you learn things yourself and learn from free stuff from experts, that’s how you’ll succeed. This can also help you make easy money. This time I mean, getting more output from less work. For example, you work 1 hour a day and average around $100 per day. So that gives an hourly pay of $100 which I call easy money!

I decided to write down a plan that a person can use to make easy money. It would not involve a lot of efforts and can be easily used to make easy money unless you’re greedy as mentioned above.

Make Easy Money With A Blog

I know it sounds hard when you hear the fact that more than 98% of the blogs out there get less than 50 visitors a day which contributes to somewhere near 1 cent a week. Only 2% of the blogs are generating more traffic than that and even out of those more than 50% cannot make money out of it, forget making easy money.

The problem is: Either they’re doing it all wrong or they don’t want to get traffic and make money. Well whichever the case is, I suppose you do want to make easy money, don’t you? Then please read what is necessary and don’t skip that out.

I will not get into lengthy details, instead I’ll just highlight some points that can help you improve your chances of success or tell you where you’re going wrong. If you don’t have one, just look around the blog and you’ll find a guide on how to start a blog.

Pick a niche that you know something about. Don’t put Adsense yet! Write around 2-3 unique articles a week and put in some effort to write 1 pillar article a month. Be active in social networks and other blogs. Try to link bait.

After 2-3 months, if your blog is pulling in 200-300 unique visitors a day and has a pagerank 3 above then throw in the adsense ads. For the adsense placement, make sure that the ad is above the fold (the user does not have to scroll down to see the ad) and is on a place where the user is likely to look.

That should get you around 15-20 clicks a day (depends on the type of traffic) and if the advertiser pays well you can make $15-$20 a day and could check in a $500 cheque from Google at the end of the month. Now that’s what I call easy money!

Make Easy Money Online By Creating Online Assets

This might be a little linked with the previous ones but this wouldn’t exactly fit the definition of easy money but once you do a little work then I’d consider it the most highest level of easy money.

By online assets I don’t mean flipping website and all or having valuable domains. What I mean is that make a website, work on it to get recurring traffic and then put it on auto-pilot and make money with it.

If you haven’t guessed it by now, I’m talking about niche blogs. Unlike the first ones, these involve less work and are easier to set up. First you need to find a money making niche and get all your keywords. Next, start a blog over the keywords and the whole topic.

Write around 2 articles a week, each article targeting a sub-keyword. Start building backlinks slowly. After a few months, you may reduce your posting frequency to 2 or 3 articles a month. But as before, do not put adsense before 2-3 months. Or before your website/blog starts appearing on the first page for the keywords you’re targeting.

The advantage of this method is that, some niches take a lot of time for people to find them. Hence, if you find them at the right time you can profit off those keywords for almost little or no work. I call this complete automation of making money and totally easy money once you’re done and trust me neither one of the method is as hard as it sounds so have a strong gut to try them out.

Don’t neglect the importance of these words, I’m giving valuable information out for free. This might be the very time in your life when you start to make easy money online!

Back in 2007 when I started off as a blogger, I was totally off-track. As you might already know that I started off making money on the internet with paid to click websites. Yes, what a waste of time. But since I was quite enthusiastic about making money back then, I wanted to create a blog to promote my referral links.

In paid to click websites, you look for referrals who can come, click ads and make money for you forever. Since posting a whole bunch of links at places to let people know about it was kind of a tedious job, instead I created a blog, filled it with reviews and my referral links and then promoted the blog instead.

My initial aim was to get visitors to it and then have them to sign up for the paid to click website. It wasn’t long until blogger disabled my account with all of the blogs including the one I was using to promote the referral links. However, I was doing that for a reason, I was actually making money by the efforts that I put into getting visitors to the blog.

These days, I see a bunch of fully seo loaded blogs with no ads. The thing is, there is no point in doing SEO on a blog if you don’t have intentions of making money from it. Straight up. Unless you have other aims for the blog.

This thing gets even more emphasis when your main source of traffic is referral traffic. You can always play around with organic traffic because you know that more will be coming later on and you aren’t really losing a lot of money in the long run.

But usually the referral traffic comes and goes. You don’t have a chance of them returning or more of them coming in to your website after you’ve done the promotion. In that case, it is complete nonsense to have no monetisation on your blog which completely makes it promoting for no reason.

The most widely know fact is: Traffic is money. However, you need to learn how to convert that traffic into money else you’ll end up in the blues with no money and probably a loss in form of hosting fees.

My advice to all new bloggers is that: Monetize your blog from day one! There is no harm, I repeat, no harm whatsoever from monetizing a blog. If you think it will discourage visitors, no it wouldn’t. If that was the case, Google wouldn’t have been the number one search engine. There are thousands of other search engines without advertisements.

It will have no impact on your SEO. Why it will have no effect on your SEO is because Google will always be in benefit if you have adsense on your blog. Since, when Google sends traffic to your website, it clicks the adsense ad. Not only do you get paid but Google gets paid as well. I know this theory sounds totally absurd but it was just to diversify your minds from not monetizing a new website. So yeah, you can laugh!

I usually like doing a little talk on these ranking websites such as Alexa and Compete. I used to think that Alexa ranking was worthless but also agreed that it is the only ranking measure that is accurate to some extent in our set of internet marketing tools.

Around a year ago someone told me about compete and how it was very accurate when it came to ranking as compared to Alexa. I was convinced because it was accurate as of my visitor statistics according to then.

I used to get around 6000 unique visitors back then and it should near 4500 people coming to my website. I lost track of the compete rankings ever since and decided to focus more on getting traffic rather then checking statistics again and again.

Just happened to have a look at it again a few days ago and I was astonished to read the figure. As of now, my website gets 13000 + unique visitors a month and instead of increasing the number of people to my website, Compete decided to reduce it to 1300.

This just proves how inaccurate these ranking websites are. I still doubt Alexa’s accuracy. In fact, it can’t be accurate, it’s common sense. But in the long term it follows my blog’s traffic pattern which shows that it gets a hint of the traffic using whatever way it is.

However, compete doesn’t have a clue about these things. My alexa ranking is in the range of 160,000 and the compete ranking is near 700,000. The difference between the two might be the inaccuracy of the websites or maybe just the noob-ness of Compete (Is there really a word noob-ness? )

Along with my usual rants, just wanted to let other people who have a website or blog that: Compete and Alexa both are inaccurate but out of the two Compete is more inaccurate. I just compared the results of 3arn.Net here but I actually noticed this on several other website of mine as well. Leave you with the golden quote:

Don’t give a tweet about ranking websites. If you’re into making money on the internet, third-party statistics don’t matter a bit.

I always thought that Google hated 3arn.Net (Despite the fact that it sends me a lot of targeted traffic, lol) until yesterday. I can’t be happier than this. What I had been waiting for since I started this blog.

Juicy Sitelinks!

For me, this is the distinction between an average and an above the average website. Although the notice on google’s webmaster tools about sitelinks says:

Sitelinks are links to a site’s interior pages. Not all sites have sitelinks. Google generates these links automatically, but you can remove sitelinks you don’t want.

Though the only bad thing about Google’s sitelinks is that Google selects them by itself and you basically get no choice to select which ones you want. However, in my case, I have got the best pages on my website on sitelinks.

They only give you the choice of blocking a sitelink that you do not want to show on the google search engine result page, which I would definitely not want or maybe in the future.  Below is a screen shot from this page:

Well one thing that I’ve noticed is that sitelinks change quite often. When my website first started showing sitelinks, it was showing 6 of them. I decided not to block even one of the them because they certainly gave my website clear dominance on the search engine results page.

However, here I am checking after almost a week and now it has left my website with only 3 sitelinks. This is also a very common thing that I’ve seen in websites. In fact, it is very smart to have found two of my best articles on the website. Although I’m not so pleased with the Advertise page on there but I guess it is going to work out just fine.

Here is a screen shot of this page showing this blog with the sitelinks:

It might as well be that by the time that you check this link, the sitelinks of my website would have already changed because I saw a change in them after four days and since it was last updated on 8th November, it might be updated next on 12th November.

How To Get Sitelinks?

I know you might be thinking this for a while and while I’m not an expert on this topic and neither do I know that my advice will work for you or not. To me, the sitelinks have proven to be the links that:

• Are given the most importance throughout the site
• Have the most internal links
• Have the most links to them

These might be the measures that Google’s “Automatic” bot assigns sitelinks to a website for. While this is still a guess, I’m pretty sure that one of those three factors has do play a crucial role for the assignment of sitelinks to a website. In fact, if you know of any other thing that matters or have something to say about sitelinks in general then please do so in the comments below.

Have you ever wanted to have a semi-automated way of making money with adsense? Well, now you’ve got it. Today I’ll be talking about a website called AdsenseFree.Com and it is the website which will help you setup a huge network of websites with adsense.

That’s right, I’m talking about dozens of adsense ready templates ready to make money for you. That is, if you know how to make money with adsense. So basically adsense free gives you a whole bunch of adsense templates that already have adsense on them, they also have a theme and some content on each page.

This is perfect for adsense newbies, people who want to make money with adsense but don’t know how to create a website or simply for those who don’t have time in setting up adsense on hundreds of pages and then finding content for each page. So  by now I know what’s going on in your mind

What’s the Catch?

You must be thinking: Why is this website giving away free adsense templates, there must be some catch. They must be charging some money for the templates in one way or the other.

The fact is, you will not be charged a single penny for the templates and all 155 adsense templates are going to be gifted for you for free. All you have to do is sign up for a normal hosting package which you would have done so if you ever wanted to start up a website. That’s it!

Just for signing up for a nominal hosting package (which you will be needing anyways), you will be given 155 adsense templates ready to do the work for you. Plus, you get many other free gifts from them. Once you sign-up through their recommended host, just send them an email and you will get the reply very soon with the file attached containing  155 adsense templates and other important information.

Now those are not just 155 pages with content on them. I’m talking about 155 templates/categories each of which has their own sub-pages as content fillers. So, each category has around 70 - 150 pages filled with content regarding that category. So if you do the math, that is around 0.15 million pages ready with content and adsense on them for you to make money.

It doesn’t end there. Think how tedious it would’ve been if you had to insert your adsense publisher id into each one of them pages manually. It could easily take you a few days if you are a newbie.

But this sweet package includes a little program which will ask you for your adsense publisher id and then edit each and every page with your adsense publisher id to make sure that those pages make you money once they get traffic.

If you were to put the 0.15 million pages on a brand new website, it would take you a maximum of ten minutes to have thousands of content rich, adsense-ready pages floating around your website like they’ve been lying there for ages. That is the best part of it. However, now comes the real review of this thing which shall tell us whether this thing is good for making money or not.

Can This Thing Really Make Me Money?

This is by far the most important point of this post. You would only want to check this out if you were assured that it would make you money or not and if so then how would it make you money. The only drawback that this thing has is: That the content is not unique.

The content that is put on individual pages under each template or category is taken from article directories. This kind of ruins your plans of getting traffic from search engines to it unless you are really a professional.

If you are a complete newbie, first you should know how to make money with adsense because just putting up a website with 0.15 million pages and not getting even one visitor to it will not make you even a cent for decades.

So, I wouldn’t really recommend this to you if you are a first time adsense user. However, if you already have some experience with adsense prior to this then you might know how to make money with adsense without involving SEO or organic traffic.

For the PPC lovers

This might be the perfect thing if you are a PPC junkie. That is because you have 0.1 million pages and each and every one of them is targeted to a specific thing. So after this if you ever want to get any niche, you might check this website because your little niche might already be a part of this monster empire. You can pin point traffic from adwords, etc. to individual pages and make money off it.

This is called PPC/Adsense arbitrage. This is kind of tough to get a hang of but many people have made several hundreds and thousands of dollars with this (not me) and it gets cumulative with time. Just to let you know if you want to try it out and take the risk, it involves buying cheap traffic through adwords on low-bid keywords and then targeting high-bid keywords on your page and getting clicks on those ads. When your adsense earnings surpass your adwords expenditure, congratulations, you’re making profits!

But what about SEO?!

I know it is sad but SEO might be a no-no situation for this monster empire of yours unless you’re a SEO professional. I already said this before, but what would that SEO professional do here that could get your content indexed and probably get a little share of the organic search traffic is one thing: Domain trust.

By building domain trust you let Google know that you’re not one of those pesky spammers that have thousands of pages with the same content and want each and every one of them to rank in the top.

Simply because, a person whose domain has some authority would never really do such a thing and this differentiates you from the spammers. So my advise would be to try to get links from high page rank websites.

Usually, high authority websites do not link to spam websites. So, you’re standing out of the crowd right there. This can really help your website get indexed and then given traffic eventually. But I must warn you, relying on this can take a lot of time and patience is required.

There you are. I’ve given you the good sides and the bad sides of this program. I’ve told for whom this might not work and also mentioned whom this would work for and how it can be used by them to make money. Whether you go for it or not, the decision is up to you. If you have any experiences with this program, I encourage you to share with others through the comments below.

Ever since I started making money online, I only looked into ways that could actually promise me a good amount of money on a consistent basis. This excluded all ways that could not make money for me on a consistent basis. For example, many times I have refused web deisnging projects just because I think this is a work that would not promise me a consistent income.

The fact is, there is hardly a chance that you actually build a consistent income. The way I built consistent income was by creating a team of website including this one. There is an average amount of money that I make from these websites every month which is quite consistent. It involves a lot less risk.

However, what I learned from a few famous money makers on the internet was that you don’t have to look for a ’set-it-and-forget-it’ kind of system if you want to hit big. In fact, you can hit big cash lots of time and actually make those ‘big hits’ consistent.

One thing that has been bothering my mind for a while is PPC. Most of the internet marketers I know of are making deadly profits using this little advertising tool with Google, Facebook and other social networks as well. The biggest thing this involves is: Risk.

Risk is not something that I’d be willing to undertake at this level. Moreover, PPC involves a lot of money. For example, there is a guy Jon who recently made a net profit of $1.6 million in 30 days. This was his come back after a long time.

However, he had totally grossed $2.2 million and the rest $0.6 million was the expenses of PPC or other advertising that he used for making that money. Usually people use offers from CPA networks to publicize on these and then make affiliate commisions per offer completed or per lead generated.

I started with CPA networks a while ago but so far haven’t really gotten the gist of it. I have set up campaigns (not PPC) and tried getting them some traffic but so far have had no luck. This just made this whole PPC craze look a little unachievable for me. However, I intend to learn more about how CPA offers work.

I’m doing a little reading around other blogs and I will also be sharing some good reads that I find on this topic. Meanwhile, if you have any good articles or blogs to share, please let me know about them in the comments. Thanks in advance.
