Sell Products or Services Online

You can set up an online store to sell a wide variety of products. However, it will cost you few thousands dollars to start an e-store. One way to start an online business with minimum capital is deal with drop ship wholesalers. So how drop shipping works?

- A drop ship distributor is a wholesale company that will ship one product directly to your customer.

- You don't need to pay for an item unless it is sold.

- You don't store any inventory.

- You don't package and ship merchandise.

- Your customer pays the retail price for the product to you and you pay the cost of the product to the drop ship distributor. The difference is your profit.

Drop shipping system makes it affordable for anyone to start an online business due to the benefits it offers. EBay is the best place for you to start selling your products with drop shipping system. One strategy you can try is sell the similar items to the one that have attracted several bids in eBay. For instance, say you have opened an account with a cell phone drop ship dealer and ready to sell cell phone on eBay. You found that a Nokia 8810 cell phone have attracted 7 bids, so what you can try to do is list the similar item immediately with lowest price possible. Of course, there is no guarantee that you will make any money with this strategy. There are many more auction selling ideas you can find from the Internet which can help you make a steady income on eBay.

Be a Freelancer

There are many freelance job sites consist of a long list of freelance job contracts. These freelance sites usually offer the following jobs:

1) IT jobs (web-design, Jawa, PHP, script-installation, programming, graphic design and so on)
2) Writing & Editing Jobs
3) Administrative support (Data entry) & accounting services.

You may join several freelance sites for free and start bidding for the projects and contracts that are right for you. You can also make extra money writing articles and essays. There are places and websites where you can sell your articles and essays for a price anywhere between $5 to 25 per article. Furthermore, there are forums and blogs offer to pay anyone who post message and article to their websites.

Be an Affiliate

Affiliate makes money online by selling other people's stuff. An affiliate earns commission whenever someone sent by him/her to his/her merchant's website makes a purchase. Clickbank is one of the best places you can find an affiliate program to join because it is the largest e-book store and contains a ton of merchants looking for people to sell their e-books. The main task of affiliates is promote and advertise their merchants' websites (affiliate links). One method to promote affiliate program is advertise on Google. To advertise on Google you'll first need to open a Google AdWords account. You can start advertise on Google immediately after paying $5 account activation fee. Your cost of advertising is calculated in pay-per-click (PPC) basis. This means that Google will only charge you whenever someone clicks your text ad.

Paid Survey

Taking online paid survey at home is an easy way to make money online as you don't need any special skills and knowledge to complete paid survey job. In order to increase the money you can earn, you need to join as many market research and survey companies as possible. However you can't expect how much money you will make monthly because you have no idea when a paid survey invitation will send to your mail box. Thus it is not an ideal way to make a wage but a great way to make some extra income for paying your monthly bills.


So, you first have to decide who you are targeting and how they will find you.

You need to do some keyword research and find out what people are looking for. Search Google for 'free keyword research tool' and take your pick of the results to help you with your keyword list. The more specific the keywords, the better e.g.mail order silk parachute' rather than just parachutes'

Once you have some keywords you should Google' them and check out the number of search results that appear. Be sure to search the keywords in inverted commas e.g. "keywords"

These results are your competition. You should really select keywords with a high volume of searches but fewer results on Google. Up to 2000 results would be a very good keyword to target but you can have more results and still get in the top 10 - it depends on the quality of the results. If the top 10 is full of BBC or similar sites then its unlikely you'll be able to break into it.

Now you have your target keywords you have to add them to your site. This is quite a simple process if you know what you're doing, otherwise you can ask your web designer to do it for you.

Lets assume your target keyword is "how to build a shed" .

You need to add this keyword in the page title tag first of all. Make it something like "how to build a shed in 5 easy steps" or "how to build a shed without breaking sweat"

Next is the headline tag or H1 as it appears in the code. Try to make the phrase start the headline, with a similar line to the title possibly. You can also use other H tags like H2, H3 further down the page.

Next, you should ensure you use your keyword throughout the copy on your site - but don't overuse it. An ideal page would be 400+ words long with your keyword at 2-3% density i.e. used 8 - 12 times on the page. Try to start the first paragraph with the keyword and use it evenly over the page thereafter.

Another tag that search engines look at is the image tag. Check your images (banners, photos etc.) on your site and add a keyword tag to them.

This will mean people will find your site when searching by Google or yahoo images too. The meta tags (keywords & descriptions) should include your keywords but these tags are not so effective any more, at least as far as Google is concerned.

This is about as much as you can do to the html code to optimize it and is only a rough guide. Keyword research is vital to the success of any website and there are more techniques than just those described here.

Next we'll look at the off-page strategies to increase your search engine traffic (and they are much more powerful!)
