Online Streams of Income

Oh my God... there are just so many ways to make money online. It turns out that Adsense is just a small part of supplement income although some people are doing very well with just Adsense. During my studies thus far, I have found few streams of income online and here they are.

  1. Google Adsense
  2. ClickBank
  3. Commission Junction
  4. Amazon
In my own journey to online business, I will focus on these four streams of income. As you can see, I already have Google Adsense and Commission Junctions affiliate program which is 1&1 Domain and Hosting company that I'm promoting.

You can sign-up with all four companies above by going to their website and creating an account. Next, I will explore how I'm going to drive traffic to those sites.

If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call or shoot me an email.

The name of the game is... TRAFFIC?

After much research to get a handle on this thing, I am slowly realizing that it's not the product or how well your website looks, but it all boils down to how many people you can get to your website. The name of the game is....TRAFFIC or better yet, "TARGETED TRAFFIC".

Products are there and customers are there, you just got to find a way for those customers to get to the products. I guess there are many way to drive that traffic through SEO, Blog or Google Adword (PPC), however I'm not very familiar with those tools yet. I feel like I still have long-learning curve to go. I saw few SEO tutorial available online, but they all seem to touch up on the surface and you end-up with sales pitch asking for subscription fee for real info.

I also read from someone that, its either you taking the time or money to learn it or you hiring someone to do it for you. Looking at these two options, I think it's better for me to learn the damn thing instead of paying someone to do it. I'd rather learn how to make $1000 instead of paying somebody to make that $1000 for me. I don't know about you, but for me, second option makes much more sense. It's either I learn this, or else my success will be dependent on how well someone does my work for me. Does that make sense?

Besides, I heard many SEO companies make big promises without delivering any result and the thing with SEO, you don't see the result right away and SEO companies will start their work after you have paid half or whatever the bill is and I heard they are not cheap.

So, with that said, I poked around to learn about SEO and I learned that to drive that "targeted traffic", you have to use the right KEYWORD. Now that's a loaded word. People arrive at your website because they typed in a keyword or a phrase that is relevant to your website, and because your site had proper optimization, your site shows up in the first few positions of the search results and gets the click-thru from the searcher, which means more targeted TRAFFIC.

I ran into few software that does this analysis for me and I'm going to write a review about them in the next post. Stay tooned...
