Ways to make money now

The ideas below all work for teens to make money online, most without having your own website. Several companies have set up revenue sharing lately, and you can benefit. Without ever learning Java, HTML, or Flash, you can set up your own little kingdom or queendom of money earning sites.

Take a look at these:

1. Studentoffortune.com

This is a paid research site, where a student can post a question with a bounty, then you can answer and win the bounty. Do you have a cool hobby? Read a bunch of books on one subject? Maybe you work in your parents’ business. You can earn money from this site. Everybody knows about something.

2. Treasuretrooper.com

You fill out surveys that pay or offer free goodies. In case you think this won’t work well, think about this. Companies pay people to try their stuff, to comment on it, and to give the company their opinion. You could be one of those people, getting paid for your opinion. You only have to be a teen, 13 or over, to do it. Pretty sweet, right?

3. Cashcrate.com

Works similar to #2, but some like it better. Either way, you make money for college. Teens are fine here, too, 13 years of age and up. Get your parents’ permission if you are between 13 and 18, and earn money online.

4. Squidoo.com

Lets you build a lens (to focus on a topic) for free, then you can add in affiliate links, adsense and so on to earn some money from it. The key here: think broad, and update often. Hubpages.com has an approach similar to Squidoo, but offers a one-time payment for doing serious work on a page. You have to meet their guidelines, but then you get $25 for building a resource page.

5. Build your own Website

When you do it right, you can build a great website, even if you have no programming or web design skills. Seriously, you can make money in a ton of ways, too. And if you build your own site, you can keep it forever. Be careful what host you pick - find one with a great block builder and the right formula for success.

I’ll throw in an extra: be an affiliate.

This works best if you have a site or on Squidoo - like I said above, but you can also use your Myspace or Facebook page, too. You earn with this by first affiliating with an online seller. They can sell anything, you just need to be their affiliate.

Then, you tell people about it. Careful - you don’t want to spam yourself off of Myspace or Twitter. But you can help people find answers and refer them to the company you represent. Just do a little search for affiliate programs on a search engine, you’ll be swamped with good offers. Many teens have already made money online with this method.

Better yet, pick a product, and then add affiliate program to it, then search.

You can find tons more ways for that teens make money online if you look. It only takes effort. You can do it!

Getting high quality backlinks is not an easy task!  It is long and tedious but it must be done!  A lot of time, I just look like the girl in the picture.  Pascale

Internet marketing depends on you bringing lots and lots of traffic to your websites. If you are to become an internet marketer you need to know how to get that traffic flowing to your sites. You can have the best looking website but not knowing how to promote your website you will not make the amount of money that you could potentially make. I will teach some powerful ways of getting good backlinks to your website and will dramatically increase your traffic to your websites.

One powerful promotion method is something called social networking. You probably have heard of MySpace and Facebook. These websites are what we call social networking sites. Here you can meet people and at the same time promote your websites and products. These websites have very high authority in the search engines and will be able to give your website a huge boost. All you need to do is sign up for a free account and start getting your website some high quality backlinks.

Another way to get some good link power to your website is to submit it to usfreeads.com. Usfreeads is a free advertising website where you can create an advertisement about your product and insert your link to get a quality backlink. Right now the search engines give much respect to links that come from usfreeads so a link here would be a great thing to have. There are other free advertising sites that you could use as well such as Craigslist where you create an advertisement and put your link in it for an instant high quality backlink to your site. These two sites are very powerful and can get you very high into the search engines and increase your traffic tremendously.

Having an affiliate program is an excellent way of creating much more traffic and many more sales for your product. An affiliate program is a way where people can sell your products for free and whenever they make a sale they get a commission for making a sale. You can set a program where people get at least a 50% commission for every sale they make for your product. This way you can get hundreds of people promoting your product and you will be making many sales and getting much more traffic as well. If you are selling a digital product the best thing to do is to sign up with Clickbank. Clickbank is an affiliate network that sells only digital products mostly ebooks and products you can download. Here thousands affiliates are looking for products to sell and would be very willing to sell your product and will bring you many more sales and traffic to your website.

There you have it; these are just some extra ways of promoting your website and getting instant high quality backlinks. Once you get these done they will stay in these websites for a long time and will bring high PR to your website for years to come. So start doing these promotion methods and begin to see more traffic and sales for your product.

Promotion and traffic are the keys of the success of your website! Here are small ways to promote your webiste by Eric Fernandes.  Pascale

An Internet marketer’s main goal is to get their website high enough into the search engines to get more traffic and more sales. They achieve this by getting high quality backlinks to their website which can give their website a good boost. You probably have heard of article marketing, blog commenting, and Squidoo to promote your website. These are good ways to promote your site but they are not the only ways to promote your websites. I will show you five new ways that you probably have never heard of to get your website even higher in the search engines.

One way to get a high quality backlink is to submit your website to Netscape. Netscape has a pr of 9 which means this site holds a lot of strength in the search engines. Putting your link here will show your website to be very important as well. You will have to write a good article that is relevant to your website and it must be good quality and not spam. If its not good enough they will remove your link or people who visit the website have the power to remove your article as well. So make sure that you write some good material about your website to make sure it sticks.

You can also submit a press release to prweb.com. Prweb is a press release website that you can submit your own press release about your website. It is also a powerful website and is respected by the search engines. Just like Netscape you must submit good quality press releases and meet the requirements of the website. Every time you add something to your website or make alterations to it you could submit a press release and talk about your website. This is a really great way to get a quick high quality backlink to your website. I would suggest to try it and see if helps your website get higher in the search engines.

Submitting your website to directories is also a good way to get some high quality backlinks. This doesn’t work as good as it did in the early days of the internet, but it still is a great way to get some links to your website. There are a couple of things you could do. You can submit to relevant directories or you can submit your site to more powerful directories such as Dmoz or Yahoo etc. Dmoz is a directory site which has hundreds of websites all in different categories which makes it easier for people or search engines to find your website. You could also search in Google for relevant directories. If your website was about finance you could type this into the Google search bar: “finance add URL”. By typing this in you could find some directories where you could submit your website and get a good backlink to your website. You want to avoid directories that make you pay for submitting your website. Whenever you submit to directories there is no guarantee that your website will be added to their directory whether you pay for it or not.

These were just three ways to get some high quality backlinks to your websites. High quality backlinks will last for a long time and your website will remain high in the search engines for a long time. If you do what I recommend and follow my ideas you can begin to see your website get a boost up the search engine ranks.

In the online world of business it can often be difficult to find your way when you are trying to begin making money on the Internet. There’s no shortage of people who offer to share sure fire “best” affiliate marketing secrets with you for a price but the truth is you don’t need to spend a dime to know everything you need to know about affiliate marketing regardless of how new it might be to you.

In short, the only affiliate marketing secret you need to know is that there are no top affiliate marketing secrets. Whether an online marketer has been at it for a week or a year, their success or failure is not based on any secret. All you need to know is that there is no affiliate program that will make you instantly rich; the only way to make money is to put in the time and hard work required.

If your affiliate marketing efforts are focused, clear and direct you have all of the ingredients for a successful marketing venture. No costly ebook or program contains any affiliate marketing secrets that will benefit you more than those key ingredients.

- Focused: In order for your effort to be focused, you need to select a carefully thought out niche market about which you have personal knowledge or extensive experience. This will allow you to speak on the level of someone who is in a similar position and potential customers tend to make purchases from people with whom they identify.

- Clear & Direct: Don’t muddy the waters with a lot of sales talk. Be clear about the focus of your site and talk about issues and news that relates to people who would be interested in that niche. In other words, if you’re selling make up it wouldn’t make much sense to talk about hiring a plumber to fix your kitchen sink.

Don’t spend your time or money on so-called “best” affiliate marketing secrets. Just stay focused, clear and direct and the customers will come to you.

If you are going to make money using the internet, affiliate marketing is the best model for you. This is because in affiliate marketing, you don’t have to deal with customer service and product creation. You can focus in promoting the affiliate product of your choice.

Although that affiliate marketing is a great business model, but there are still many people struggling to make their first sale. One of the reasons is that they do not know how and where to start. Here are some steps how you can build a super affiliate business from scratch…

1. Target a profitable niche market. The market you choose must be a profitable market where people in the market must be willing to spend and buy from you. If you are not choosing a profitable market, it will be hard for you to make sales. Besides that, you have to narrow down your market so that it is a niche market. This will lower the competition and boost your sales conversion.

2. Build a blog or a lead capture page to pre-sell your visitors. The key here is to build a website where you can contact with the people in your market so that you can provide value for them. Content is king in internet marketing. You need content to build trust and relationship with the people in your market. It is always a wise choice to capture leads and in the same time, create value for your market.

3. Drive massive amount of targeted traffic to your website. Traffic generation is not as complicated as you imagine, as long as you are willing to take action, you can have all the traffic you want. For example, write an article, submit it to article directories, contribute a few posts in forum and leave comments in blogs. You have to do this everyday to boost the results.

4. Leverage on your success. Keep on tracking the performance of your affiliate business and improve the conversion. Track the stats of your website and drive more quality traffic. There are only 2 factors that determine your affiliate income, your conversion rate and the traffic you drive to your website. Therefore, focus in these 2 and improve them.

These are the basic steps how you can build a super affiliate business from scratch. Remember, success is about getting things done. So take the first step to build your online business now.

Of all the things that people want to attract with the law of attraction, money is certainly one of the top Big 3 - being, of course, health, wealth and happiness, (which is usually “love”).

Having studied Abraham Hicks and “The Secret” for the last couple of years, and ancient Eastern mysticism and metaphysics for decades before that, I feel somewhat qualified to give you my top tips for doing this.

I’m not a millionaire but I do spend most of my life doing what I love - a large part of which is writing and teaching people how to live their dreams. For most dreams, this requires attracting money. Otherwise the “need” to earn it on the traditional treadmill of selling your life by the hour, (otherwise known as a “job”), becomes a necessity that can keep you and your dreams apart.

Let’s start with a “don’t”. I avoid these in my teaching as a rule because I believe it makes you do it more - as for example, if I tell you not to think of elephants right now, your head will inevitably fill with thoughts of elephants! However, where the law of attraction is concerned, and especially when it comes to attracting money, this one is paramount and I can’t think of a better way to phrase.

Don’t expect money.

It’s that simple. That doesn’t mean money isn’t coming, but you’re not attracting money by expecting money. You’re keeping you and money apart. Why? Because you’re still focussed on not having money!

There’s an aging adage that goes, “Do what you love and the money will follow.” Well, it might, but not if you’re doing what you love for the money!

That leads me to top attracting money tip #1:

Attracting Money Tip 1: Love what you do.

That, you will notice, is the other way around from “do what you love.” This doesn’t mean that if you hate cleaning out the closets you’ve got to start loving it. It means loving yourself first. Come from a happy, joyful energy and you will find time flying by and that you are enjoying yourself no matter what you are doing!

This is relatively easy to achieve. If you hate cleaning closets and it’s a chore you have to do, you will make pictures in your mind of all that you loathe about it, and you will resist with all your might.

Instead, listen to comedy or sing at the top of your voice to your favourite artistes - do whatever it takes to feel good as you do the task. These days, with Bluetooth and hands-free phones, you could possibly even talk to your best friend while you do the task!

Okay, next.

Attracting Money Tip #2. Find an alternative to worry!

I’ve written a whole book about this, but here’s the principle in a nutshell. Worry, (about anything), is the most useless problem solving strategy anyone ever came up with. If you have a worrying thought, (that is to say an uncomfortable prickling in your brain about something), that’s fine as long as you take it as a nudge to turn things around!

It is not a signal that you should dwell on the issue for ever more! Doing so is certain to make the law of attraction work exactly to bring you precisely what you are focussing on: not enough money!

Instead, treat it as a sign that you are about to get resourceful and find a way to attract money.

Which brings me to top tip number 3.

Attracting Money Tip #3: Remember you are your greatest resource!

Money is not your resource - you are! Money comes to you because you do something that other people value. Attracting money happens because other people value you. They value your skills, your reliability, your talent, your personality and your uniqueness. That is you!

Frankly, you can always find a way to render yourself of value - and the more you love whatever it is, the more valuable you will be, because you will make other people feel good. Did you know there are people who get paid handsomely to clean out other people’s closets because they do it with style and with good humour and they make it fun?

If you think money isn’t coming because your job just made you redundant, you are in the wrong place, my friend. Your job has nothing to do with your ability to attract money! It just happened to be the vehicle you’d been using for a while as your way of attracting money!

Here’s a few virtually anyone can do to attract money, food, shelter and friendship. None of these require training or qualifications of any kind:

Shop for elderly or disabled neighbours.

Wash people’s cars.

Dig people’s gardens.

Wash their windows.

Walk their dog.

Give their children a ride to school. (Okay, you need a drivers’ licence for this).

With a little more expertise, you could:

Put attic “junk” on ebay for people and split the proceeds. (You need a computer and a digital camera!)

Cook for children’s parties.

Sing at functions.

Give after dinner speeches.

Are you getting the idea? You have endless resources!

Which brings us full circle! You will be doing something you love.

In closing, I’d like to point out something so obvious that no one I’ve ever said this to has thought of it. Are you ready?

You are the only one of you there’s ever been! No one in the past, present or future has ever thought your thoughts, created your ideas or had your unique experiences or personality. Even if you are an identical twin, you still have unique looks!

This makes you the most precious gem on planet Earth!

And if that doesn’t make you worthy of attracting money in massive abundance, then nothing does!
