Make Money Online Today?

I'm not sure about you but whenever I see an ad with an outrageous claim to help me "make a million dollars in the next 3 days working from home", I cringe. For 2 good reasons: first it's an obvious load of B.S., and second - I DO make good money online and it IS possible, but claims like these make people tune out and miss really good opportunities.

Are there Legitimate ways to Make Money Online?

There are legitimate programs that allow you to work from home and make money online, but be warned; the basic idea is almost always the same. You promote other peoples' products or services by way of advertising for them on the Internet.

It isn't Rocket Science

Here's how it works. When someone sees your ad and clicks on it, they are directed to the merchant site. If the person likes what they see they'll buy the product or service and you get a commission. If your ad is for a really popular item that loads of people are searching about every day on Google or Yahoo, you will get many clicks over the course of a few weeks or months. Some of these will result in sales and money in your pocket. Every week or two the merchant will deposit your commissions to your PayPal account, or often directly to your bank account. Nice eh?

How Hard is it to Work From Home?

In terms of difficulty, it isn't complicated work. If you can surf the web and place a classified ad on Craigslist you have all the basic skills to work online. But, it does take time and effort to get your business running and making money. You can't sit down at your computer, install a program or post an ad and then immediately have money pouring into your account (if you actually find something like these please phone me immediately!).

Think about it this way. In a traditional job where someone else pays you for your time, you work for 8 hours and get paid. Work another 8 hours and get paid. The cycle is: work, pay, work, pay, work, pay, etc. If you stop working you stop getting paid. However, with an online business this traditional scenario is turned completely upside down. You now get paid for results, not your time. You set up your business over a few days or weeks and start getting traffic to your ads or websites, and then commissions begin coming in. The cycle is: work, pay, pay, pay, pay, work, pay, pay, pay, pay, etc.

The best part of this type of online business is that if you take a few days off or go on a vacation, your business continues running and making you money! How cool is that? This is a very foreign concept to most people, since we are conditioned to believe that the only good job is one where someone who owns a business pays us for our time.

Personally, I would rather own my own business and get paid for my results any day! Similarly, there is a popular saying: "Would you rather benefit from 100% of your own efforts, or 1% of the efforts of 100 other people?".

How Long Before I REALLY Get Paid?

You need people to click on your ads and view your web page to get paid; this is where the rubber meets the road. You can approach your online business 2 basic ways.

First, you can "pay" for people to click on your ads - this is referred to as pay-per-click advertising in the biz, PPC for short. The general idea is that you write ads for your affiliate programs and run them on Google or Yahoo. Many people will click on your ads and go to the web page; some of these will buy. Your commissions minus your ad costs equals your net income. This first method can be done with a small time investment and results can actually begin within a few short hours!

Second, you can grow "organic" traffic to your website, which promotes an affiliate program. You do this by increasing the rank of your website so that it appears in the first or second page of search results on Google. This makes your page more visible and you will get more people visiting (and buying from the merchant). This second method takes much more time and can be done mostly for free. Tangible results won't begin for several weeks or even months with this method.

I strongly suggest a combined approach, using PPC to drive traffic and get sales right away, while you build up your page ranking and get free traffic to your site over time. This is the approach I take with all affiliate programs that I promote.

Summary

Anyone with basic Internet browsing skills can get started making money online, and working from home. It does take time and effort to get things set up properly, but the reward is an online business that makes money around the clock, 24x7 - even when you aren't working.

You can use 2 different methods of generating traffic and getting people to buy the products or services you are promoting. PPC advertising works quickly and costs you some money, but you could make money within several hours. Increasing your page ranking works well over time and will continue to bring visitors to your ads and web pages for free.

So YES, you CAN really make money online today - if you are willing to dedicate some time & a small amount of money, and get started with a program that walks you through the setup phase.

If you are interested in learning how to build your online business and get the best results possible, you will need a mentor. This is the program that I am an active member of, and I am very grateful for what it has done to my lifestyle.

Affiliate Marketing in a Nutshell

What exactly is affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing is the single fastest growth industry on the Internet. It’s also true that affiliate marketing is one of the fastest and most creative ways to make money and have a career on the Internet.

Simply put, affiliate marketing is selling products on a commission basis. You own a business that advertises and sells products for other companies. You may have a product of your own to begin with or not. The things that a successful affiliate marketer must have are:

1. Your website is the jumping off point of all your marketing efforts. So the first step in any successful affiliate marketing business is building a good, credible and professional looking website. You must build a user-friendly website, which will attract your prospects and motivate them to click on the links to the products and services you are promoting and make a purchase. There are companies whose business is building websites that you can hire to build one for you.

2. You must find products to sell, you must be able to determine whether there is a demand for those products and if people will actually buy them. You may either have your own original product or products that are made by others. Which ever way you go, you must believe in the products.

3. It will be necessary for you to become an adept advertiser and be able to tell whether the advertising you are paying for is producing more income for you than the advertising is costing you.

4. It is necessary that you have good mathematical skills. You will need to be able to track your sales and determine profit, as well as, see to it that your suppliers are paid in full and on time.

5. You need the full and unwavering support of your family so that you can devote the time and energy necessary to launch your affiliate marketing business.

Savvy Enterprises Releases The 3 Steps You Can Follow To Reach Financial Freedom

Savvy Enterprises Inc., an Alberta investment company owned by Jason Wingfield, employs a diverse approach to wealth building including real estate, income investing and online marketing. More information on this company can be found at http://www.SavvyEnterprises.ca.

[USPRwire, Mon Mar 02 2009] Savvy Enterprises Releases The 3 Steps You Can Follow To Reach Financial Freedom

“Have you ever noticed that the Rich do not have jobs working for wages? They may have started that way, but that is certainly not how they make their money any longer; they have a better system that allows them to remain financially free.”

Savvy Enterprises Inc., an Alberta investment company owned by Jason Wingfield, employs a diverse approach to wealth building including real estate, income investing and online marketing. More information on this company can be found at http://www.SavvyEnterprises.ca.

With unemployment rates at an all-time high and families across North America feeling the pinch financially, Wingfield feels it is time to begin rethinking the traditional approach to earning a living. By working smarter instead of harder, Wingfield insists you can easily supplement the income from your job with passive income from Internet Marketing and be well on your way to financial freedom.

By definition, financial freedom means that your passive income pays for all your monthly expenses, whether you choose to work or not. Wingfield follows a 3 step approach to reaching this end goal.

Step 1: Earning income from a job. This is the one step that most people are familiar with and stuck at. “To be financially free you need to look at this step as a starting point, and not the end goal.” says Wingfield.

Step 2: Using proper money management to divide your income each month into “buckets”. Everyone needs a bucket for monthly expenses like mortgage, car payment, groceries and utilities. According to Wingfield, it is critical that you first put 10% of your income into a financial freedom account “bucket”. Money from this FFA account will be used to purchase investments that provide passive income each month, without further effort from you.

Step 3: This is the end goal of Wingfield’s system. Money from your passive income investments pays for your expenses. The income from your job has now been substituted for passive income and you are now financially free. “You can choose to work because it is rewarding or a service to society; but you are no longer trapped in the cycle of working just to pay the bills with no hope of early retirement.” says Wingfield.

How To Make Money From Passions

To make money online many people jump right in before they are properly prepared. You know that to be a rocket scientist, a doctor, a brick layer, a construction worker, an office worker, a teacher there are prerequisites, things you must learn, before you can be successful, you don't just jump right in unprepared.

The same applies to the Internet marketing industry even though there are unsavory people out there who'd have you believe it's a "Walk in the Park" and requires no more than the belief that you can just do it.

And I'll have to admit, it is a walk in the park compared to what you have to put up with in the working world punching a clock being a subordinate to someone who does not have your interests in mind, but there are still rules you have to follow and pitfalls you must avoid to actually make Internet marketing work for you.

Most people will not make a dime online and yet there are others who will make more in one month than most people make in a whole year. Why is that?

My answer begins with the age-old chicken or egg question, "what comes first the chicken or the egg"? Personally I vote for, well never mind, each argument you or I make comes back to the same old conclusion - I have no clue and I don't think many of us do either.

But one thing I do have a clue about and know for sure is that to make money online you must first have Passion for the company products and/or service of any Internet business from which you expect to make money.

Passion in this sense simply means that you've researched and like the company and products or services. It is then that you translate that like (or Passion) into the education, excitement and work that usually accompany Passion.

I will have to say that many online entrepreneurs are so good at what they do that they ignore passion because they can sell anything. But I'm concerned about those of you who are not so knowledgeable at working an online business successfully.

Now, I'm not trying to make anyone believe that Passion is the only thing necessary. Because to be successful you must also have a good website, good marketing, widespread advertising, company support, effective keywords, and etc. Those things are often learned from the company you join - but sidestep Passion and you reduce your chances for success dramatically.

It therefore follows that, if you have no Passion for the company and the products and services provided by that company, again, you won't attempt to do the work you are being taught.

Internet marketing work is typically not all that difficult or time consuming but it does take motivation caused by Passion to get you off and running with a sustained effort so that you won't stumble.

You have a great resource in the Internet search engines to search about the Internet Marketing industry for business opportunities, USE IT!

Your research should uncover a company that you like and have confidence in. It should be solid, founded on great principles, and easy to understand with great products and services that are sell-able for which you can have Passion. If you don't find it move on,
You can find the right opportunity containing the attributes identified above.

Comments like, well, that one sounds good and the compensation plan is excellent so I guess I'll start that business - does not sound like a decision based on anything near Passion. And remember when you hear that an Internet "guru" does that, don't be tempted, because as I said earlier they are experienced and can sell just about anything, without being Passionate about the company products and services.

Note: By the way it's your goal to get to the point where you can sell about anything online. That end skill and goal is a worthy one indeed.

Remember, there are other steps you must make before you step into Internet Marketing but if you don't first find the right company products and services to be passionate about, all of those other steps may just cause you a lot of frustration instead of bringing you great success.

Not being Passionate about a company and products and services that has market proof that it will sell is a pitfall you simply must avoid.

Thursday, Feb 19th Day Trading: T-Bonds, Euro FX

ZB-067 (30 Yr. T-Bonds)

G6E-067 (Euro FX)

There were two nice trades today in the 30 Year T-Bonds (Long Bonds) and the Euro FX.

The Euro trade moved nicely and I was able to quickly move my stop to break even, plus 2 ticks.  Price movement continued for a nice full-profit trade.  The bonds trade was a nice short entry with the e-minis moving in the opposite direction; this trade was quick and I aggressively locked in profits to preserve the gains from the earlier Euro trade.  

These were the last 2 trades of the week for me since Friday is options expiration day and price action is too unpredictable for my short-term trading systems.

Wednesday, Feb 18th Day Trading: G6E

G6E (Euro FX)

This G6E trade was entered using a tick chart with 300 trades per bar, according to the Rockwell Aggressive Tick settings.  I used 10% of the Average Daily Range for my stop, and 15% of the ADR as my profit target.  The Euro followed through on this downward move and I was able to reach my daily goal on the first trade of the day.  I'm working on being more disciplined with my money management, and rather than continue to trade and rack up broker commissions and fees - I stopped trading for the day and closed Trade Navigator.  This has been difficult for me to do in the past; however, keeping a calendar nearby and recording whether or not I reached my daily target is very helpful.

Using fixed-ratio money management and a delta of $2400, if I have about 8 days like this I am able to increase the number of contracts to the next level, thereby increasing my income.  That is serious incentive to stop trading for the day and continue tomorrow with the same strategy.  Do the math -  if you trade conservatively in this way, and work up to level 3 or 4 in a few months a trade like this could really make your week!  Just think about what this trade would look like 6 months from now trading 10 contracts or more...

By the way, if you're interested in learning more about how to trade this strategy check out the Rockwell Trading Rooms.

Thursday, Feb 5th Day Trading: ZB, G6E

ES (E-mini S&P 500)

ZB (30 Yr T-Bonds)

G6E (Euro FX)

I finally had a bonds trade work according to my plan: I entered long at 8:35am EST at the market when the first bar of the day closed with above average volume.  My volatility stop was 30 ticks and my initial profit target 60 ticks.  I am still in recovery mode with my account, so I aggressively moved to break even, then locked in profits while staying back 10-15 ticks from the price action.  Once I'm back in the positive for the month I'll follow the rules and stick to the green line with my stop until I get stopped out.  For now I'm very happy to take another $500+ from the market - "thank you Market!".

In the Euro FX I took 2 trades today; the first trade at 8:45am EST I entered at the market on a nice thrust bar with strong volume using a volatility stop of 39 points and an initial profit target of 78 points.  As the trade progressed I moved my stop following the green line before getting stopped out for less than maximum loss.  Too bad, but it was a well-managed trade.

The second Euro trade at 11:15am EST was a nail biter - again I entered on strong close above the trend on volume, using a volatility stop of 44 points and initial target of 88 points.  The price actually came all the way down to within 2 ticks of stopping me out before continuing in a nice upward push.  When the push came I aggressively locked in profits when the price very quickly moved up to 1.2860.  My goal here was to take some money off the table and protect my earlier gains in the bonds.

I watched the markets in the afternoon but didn't take any more trades; however, I did paper trade the S&P E-mini using a Fibonacci Support/Resistance indicator.  On this trade the price action was contained between the 0% and 38% Fibonacci levels, so when the price bounced off the 38% I went long at 841.50, and aggressively locked in profits before getting stopped out with 3 points and $150 at 844.50.  My stop was just below the 38% level at 836.25 but was never tested.  I'm not sure I'd be confident enough to place this trade live but I will continue to use the Fibonnaci levels as an indicator for possible trend entry/re-entry values.
