We have discussed in articles 1 and 2 subjects regarding how to make money with your computer. I am focusing on Affiliate Marketing because I know most about it, though there are other ways to make money online.

Make Money from Home, Make Each Click Count

Article marketing is my primary focus, but I want to make you aware of a different way of affiliate marketing – Pay Per Click or PPC. This method is quick and easy and can make you a ton of money quickly and can just as easily run through all the money you have available to invest in your own business.

When you start a PPC campaign, you pick a keyword like you do for Article Marketing, but this time you make up a short ad using the keyword and send someone who clicks your ad to another page, either a “landing page” where they will get some more information about what you are selling and a link to get it or an affiliate link where the clicker will be sent to the merchant for his sales copy to work.

The difference between a PPC campaign that makes money and one that loses money is whether the people who click through are curious or ready to buy. This is true for Article Marketing as well, but it doesn’t cost you each time they click through. BTW, it is called PPC because each time someone clicks through, you get charged for it. It works when each person clicks through and you get charged a dime and commission is $20 and more than one in 200 actually buy. If your keyword attracts the curious instead of the buyers, you might make the mistake of paying up to 50 cents or more per click and having no one buy. I lost over $400 in a couple of days that way. It was just because I didn’t use “hungry” keywords and didn’t have the training.

Make Money from Home, Make Money Online with Your Own Website

When you write articles, more and more, sites where you can submit articles for free and good page rank on Google are not allowing affiliate links. When affiliate links are disallowed, your links have to send someone to a website that is not the merchant. That would be YOUR website.

You can get a free website at Weebly. You can start a free blog at Wordpress or Squidoo. There are other sites that do not charge for a website, but since you don’t own your own domain, you are subject to their rules for your content. For instance, you can make articles on Squidoo but these cannot include articles about how to make money online, how to find a date, how to get TV on your PC, porn or one of several other types of content. There are plenty of subjects that do not include those, but that may be a concern. To make money from home, make your article relevant to your target audience.

Make Money from Home, Make Your Website Attractive

Website design is not real difficult these days. You can get many templates for different places. Wordpress provides website templates and many other sites provide custom Wordpress templates for a fee. These are blog type templates, but it is relatively easy to make money off a blog. It is a good system.

To Really Make Money from Home, Make Sure You Have a Support Team

At this point I have to really come out and tell you that for some outstanding web site templates as well as training that takes you from “this is a computer” to “how did you make all that money,” you need to check out Wealthy Affiliate University. It’s not free and I tried winging it on my own after having been a member a couple of years ago, but I came back because it is without a doubt the best place to get training, support, and the structure that will enable you to make money from home, make your name known on the Internet, and get folding money coming in hot and fast.
