Top Tips

1) Focus on the Three Most Profitable Internet Revenue Streams

There are three main internet revenue streams if you don't want to pay for advertising. They are free search engine listings, permission email and affiliate programs.

Motivated prospects will come to your site from your search engine positioning. Once they arrive on your site, rely on your sales message to convert the prospect into a customer. Test different sales messages and track the results. Your best message - the one with the highest conversion ratio - becomes your control piece, that you can use as a benchmark for all future tests.

Direct email to your permission list is one of the best ways to make money. It can be in the form of product announcements, a newsletter, or advertising affiliate programs that you belong to. The best way to get visitors to sign up, is by offering a newsletter, special report, or something of perceived value in exchange. The less personal info you ask for, the more likely they are to sign up.

Affiliate programs can make money in two ways. People make a commission by selling your products. Or you can join other peoples affiliate programs and recommend their products.

If you run an affiliate program and people sign up to become resellers of your product, your affiliates get customers the same way you do. They too need to acquire customers through their search engine positioning, direct email to their opt-in lists, and from sub affiliates they sign up. Your role then, becomes one of coach and mentor to your affiliates, training them to become better affiliates, and more effective sales people.

How far you go on the internet, and a large portion of the revenue you'll generate, depends on how well you and your affiliates do, in all three internet revenue streams.

2) Learn All You Can

Educate yourself about basic html so you can edit and create web pages. Learn how to master - or at least become competent in - search engine optimization. Learn how to write effective sales letters and persuasive email offers. Learn what affiliate programs are, how to apply them, and start profiting from them right away.

Please invest in yourself. Dedicate yourself to constant and never ending self improvement. Personally, professionally and spiritually. Take positive steps towards your goals each day. And don't forget to reward yourself for each little success or victory.
