Lots of people are aspiring to earn money online, but not everyone is prepared to spend

money. In strict sense there no need to spend money online to make money. There are

various tools available one for free whether it is creating the site or marketing.

Ok let look at the free methods first. You can create your own website for free. If you have

content or willing to write content on the subject you like, you can have website for free.

Some of the free sources are blogger.com, wordpress.com, squidoo.com and

hubpages.com.

The above mentioned services are free. Only a valid is email is required to create the site.

The navigation and the process of creating your site is very easy and you have a bunch of

tutorials on this. You need to do google like how to create a blog in blogger, wordpress,

squidoo, hubpages etc.

You should be knowing by now you can have a valid email for free from yahoo, hotmail,

google etc.

So you have a website. Next thing required is the content. You should be prepared to put

content on the subject you know. Post atleast three or four blog post every week is a good

start to keep momentum.

For marketing the website you can use free tools like article submission sites like

ezinearticles, go articles etc. For social bookmarking  digg, redditt, stumbleupon, technorati

etc.You can submit your rss feed using feedburner, pingomatic.

For earning revenue you can join google adsense for free. You need to have a website to

get google adsense account. so create a blog in blogger.com and post few articles and

provide this blog address as your website. You will get the adsense account a day or two.

The only disadvantages in the free methods is you do not own the site. You have created the

site using a free service. Tomorrow if google decides to remove blogger services all your

work is gone for ever.

Paid method of making money in the internet:

The only change to above process is you will own the domain here. More significantly your

web address is the site name you select  (for example yourname.com), you can have a

email like contact @yourname.com. The cost of buying a domain is 8 - 9 dollar per year.

Next thing is you should host your site to be available to everyone to access through internet.

This is where webhosting comes to picture. There are millions of web hosting providers who

offers as cheap as $ 1 per month.

By taking together you will be spend only a minimum of $ 20 per year, the significant

advantage is you own your domain and you will never lose your website.

I think you can choose now which one is best for you depends on your affordability.

Is this your burning question right now? Most people will be having this question since the economy has taken a downturn, spending has taken a hit, yet people are searching for money.

Internet marketing is definitely one of the smartest and most profitable ways to earn an income with less or no investment on your part. It is the most effective cost vs benefit compared to any business venture. Above all the big advantage is you can become successful within a 6 month period. The only things you will really require to guarantee your success are:

1) Knowledge about internet marketing and brain power.
2) Effort and dedication.

This means that you have to commit yourself to learning and then work what you have learned, so all you need is an educational resource (to ensure an efficient and profitable use of your time) and time dedication (at least few hours during the day at the beginning).

The second point above is the most difficult part for most people who lands in internet marketing.  Some how most people think they have to do no work and earn money. But the reality is not so. Your time and effort is most vital aspect in the beginning, once established yourself it will be easy going.

Against everyone’s belief you need to work hard to success in a timeframe. You need a big effort to push the rock from the hill, once done then it will be a free fall.

How much you need to spend is all depends on your budget. You can also do everything for free, or if you have some money in hand you can choose the paid methods also.

I will discuss the free methods and paid methods, its advantage disadvantages in the next post.

Do you hate writing or struggle to write? When you sit for writing , do you struggle to get words. Every one is like that when they start to writing.

Like everything else, writing is a skill which you get by experience.

5 Tips to writing for your audience

1. Write in simple English:

 Remember you are writing for your blog not for a literature work  or writing competition. Keep it simple. The reader are online net browsing

community, not every one is experts in English. By keeping simple english it better for every one who reads the articles. Millions of non English

speaking poeple browse everyday. If your English to complex with difficult words they will be inclined to leave your site and they will not be a

repeat visitors.

2. Keep Paragraphs short with headings :
Do not write a big paragraphs in your articles. The moment people look at the size, they will not read. Online readers will not read each and every

word of your articles. They skim the article for main points to move on. If you have huge paragraphs , even those interested to read will get bored.

Short paragraphs is always sweet for the readers

3. No more than one point in a paragraphs:
One short paragraph should emphasis only one point. If you tents to have too many points, it is better to write with bullet points. Too many points

in one paragraph will lead to big paragraphs results in frustration for readers.
 
4. No spelling mistakes:
What will you think if you find a spelling mistakes. You feel bad. Similarly your visitors also feel bad if they see spelling mistakes and more

frequent will be suicide. If you write an article, always spend two to three minutes to find spelling mistakes for correction.

5. Write a conclusion:
Most of the online readers will look at the paragraph heading and skim the content. They will ultimately come to the end. If you have a conclusion

they will read it. So adding a conclusion will finish your article in a positive manner.
