There is a huge potential for making money online selling information products. The nice thing about selling information products is that you’re helping to solve a problem. Everyday millions use Google to solve some sort of problem. Now wouldn’t you like to get some of these searches to your web site? If you can track down some information products or create your own then it’s time to cash in. There are many digital download products that sell very well. People will pay for information that solves their problems. This is why you want to find a niche that you have a chance to dominate. It’s not hard to look around and get an idea of what people are looking solve. One method I like to use is listening to call in radio shows. If you listen you will find people asking for specific information. With a little research you can be the only one who has a detailed site selling the solution. If you can find a problem with a large enough audience then you can turn visitors into paying customers.
The site you create will have to provide information on the topic you are marketing. You should have enough information to make your site seem like an authority. Once your visitor realizes that you seem to know what you are talking about then it’s time to pitch a sale. You want the visitor to be asking all sorts of questions down your sales funnel. As they seem to be getting closer to their answer the pitch comes in. If you have done your job properly the user will convert to a sale. They want this information and will pay for it. With information products I like to build sites that get organic traffic. It’s better to create a site that is getting search engine traffic and brining in highly targeted users. If you set up a quality site Google and other search engines will reward your hard work.
In the past I found that creating a PPC campaign for information product sites brought in to many tire kickers. These were people that wanted the answer and did not want to pay for the solution. In my information product marketing test I had much better results with just natural traffic and very small amount of PPC adverting. You can try a PPC campaign at the launch of your site. This will help you make sure that users are reading and clicking thorough to the sales pages. Once you have a site that can convert just leave it to natural traffic unless you have discovered that your PPC campaign is providing a good rate of return. As long as your campaign is profitable keep PPC traffic on and monitor the traffic, but at some point you want to be getting traffic from as much natural searches as possible.
There is a great amount of money to be made from selling information products. In my tests my results have been mixed, but I am sure if I worked at building the best quality site my income would go up.
You can find many products to sell by doing a search for digital products and then joining the affiliate programs.

If you sell online then you know that using Paypal can be expensive. The fee’s you pay to Paypal can cut into your profit margin. The other negative thing about Paypal is getting your account frozen. If you sell a lot online then you need a back up payment system. The alternative that I am using on one of my sites is called Alert Pay. This company is located in Canada and getting an account set up is quick and easy. If you want to accept credit cards on your site then you are going to need to get manually approved by Alert Pay. Other then the credit card set up time for the site everything else works like Paypal. Your customers can use the buy now button to make payment or you can request money by email.

The challenge is to get customers to trust this payment method. Many people have not heard of Alert Pay and might not bother to create and account when they check out of your store. You need to clearly mention on your site that you use Alert Pay and that they are 100% secure method of payment. Once the customer pays for the item the money shows up in your account. If you have a new account there might be a hold for about 10 businesses days. As I write this I have just completed the first part of the verification process and should have full control of the account in the next week. With so many shady things happening online Alert Pay wants to make sure that they know whom they are dealing with. As I change all my payment links on my site to Alert Pay I will have to send some traffic over to my site.

Once I have enough traffic I can compare the conversion against Paypal. It might take a few changes to the page to get back the normal level of conversion, but that is part of making money online. If I have to rate Alert Pay in this review I would give them an A+ for effort. The Alert Pay site is a gem to work with and getting the buttons on my site was not more effort then with Paypal. Overall I am very happy with this alternative to Paypal and hope to use them for more online payment processing on new sites I am working on. If you want to try Alert Pay it’s free to create an account and you can fund your account as easily as with Paypal.

Not  a lot about me has been shared through my blog. As a make money online blog, I try to stick to the topic at hand.  The reason most visitors come to my site is to learn how to make money through the Internet. The Internet has been an amazing way for me to make money and I love sharing new ideas with the readers. If you read my posts I can not promise I will make you a millionaire heck I am still working on that myself.

What I can do is teach people how to make enough money to cover bills and maybe even replace their income. The great thing about the Internet is that there is so much opportunity. Every so often I look at starting an offline business maybe a franchise.

Then I see the start up cost and it just makes me love the Internet even more. With very little money anyone can set up a small business online. You can reach so many people and spend very little to do so. My blog Vendingmatic is about my journey to make money online and my growth as an Internet Marketer.

If I can do this I believe anyone can do it or at least give it a try. If you go through the archive you will find many ideas that you can use to start making money. You just need to take action. As I work on the next chapter of Vendingmatic.info I plan on sharing more detail on how I got started and where I want to go next.

The best part is having loyal readers that will follow me on Twitter or through the blog and I can be part of the learning process. What I learned from others I like to share and give back. It really is about karma and what you put out. Let’s make 2010 a great year for all of us who believe in making money online and hope you will gain knowledge and be motivated to take action.

One thing I learned very early on with doing business online is to diversify. What I mean by diversify is to have more then one source of income online. If you do any affiliate marketing, then make sure the offers you run are available on more then one network. If for some reason an offer is pulled on one network then you have it on another network and do not lose your source of income. When I first started selling online I had a CD shop. All I sold was CD’s and this was fine for awhile, then Napster happened. You know what that did to my CD shop it almost put me out of business. Luckily this happened at the same time the DVD’s were taking of and I was able to move my business in that direction. As the trend for DVD’s died out I got into other items to sell online and realized that if you do not have more sources you can be out of business very quickly. Now when I set up a business I know the risk and I try to have more then one source of income. If something happens to one source I have a few more to make money online. If you follow the old saying don’t keep all your eggs in one basket you should do well online. Try to reach out to new sources of income, study trends and be ready to move when opportunity comes along. You do not want to miss new sources of income keep you a journal write down any ideas that come to mind. You want to get more back up plans ready to go as some of your businesses experience decline. If you follow this and make it a habit to have back up sources of income will not be without income when one of your business slows down or dies out.

It is not that hard to make money at blogging. If you have a passion about a certain topic then you can make money by blogging about it. Time and time again we find people online making money with the stuff they enjoy talking about. If you have built up any knowledge on certain topic others are looking for your reviews and advice. If you become a trusted source for the topic people will return to your site and you will soon start to have a following. It takes a little time to get to a profitable level, but it can be done. If you look at the blog of the more successful bloggers it did not start over night. The first post were not that great and it took time for their writing to develop.


Once a blogger found his or her voice people referred the site and return often to catch up on any new posts. You have to think of your blog as a business and also a community. Without the community you have no business. You want to build trust that what your are saying is truthful and that you want to share the best information with your audience. If you achieve this then when you do mention something that can be monetized on your site your readers will have more trust. If you are recommending then write a fair post that covers the good and the bad on the topic and your true opinion if this is worth your readers time and money. These are just a few steps that you can take to make your blog not only a true community online, but also a profitable business for the blogger.

With the amount of time I spend online to make money I risk not having a meaningful life. On average to make money online I need to spend about 15 hours a day in front of my computer. There are days that I spend less time on the computer and I go on to do other things. With so much time spent trying to make money there is less time to spend with the family and to enjoy other activities. Don’t get me wrong I love working from home and on the computer. The computer has been part of my life since I was 6 years old and I could not live without some sort of interaction with the computer. What I need to do is take a few hours away from the computer and have some sort of balance. In order to have a meaningful life it is not all about money or work. We need to spend time with our families and enjoy the simple things in life. If you can do both make money and spend time with those you love you are working towards a better more meaningful life.

Those of you who sell on eBay know the difficulty of getting new stuff to sell. If you deal in garage sale finds and other nick nacks then Doba might be a better source. Last year when I was doing eBay full time I used Doba to find new products to sell. There is a fee to be a member of Doba it cost about $50 a month. You might think that this is a lot of money, but in the year that I was a Doba member I made $6,900 in profits. This is a legitimate eBay partner and an amazing source for all types of products. You get wholesale prices and then just mark it up to sell on eBay. You can also use Doba to supply your own online store. Once you sign up for Doba you get full access to the thousands of items for sale from clothing to home decor, to electronics and books. The Doba site has everything you might want to sell online. Once you find the products to list on eBay you wait for the order and then input your customers mailing information into Doba and they ship the item out for you. You just want to make sure you deal with items with a large supply, you do not want to get stuck without a product to ship if the supply is low. Once you get the sale you keep the profit and you can pay Doba through Paypal or credit card for the goods shipped. If you want to try Doba for a 14 days then take this free trial it give you an idea of how the service works. You will get full access to the site. The Doba service can only ship goods to a US address. If you sell on eBay you need to make sure you mention US shipping only.

The question I always get from would be online entrepreneurs, is how I start without any money. It is true that it take a bit of money to start pulling in more traffic to your site, but you can start for no cost and scale up as you go. There are many free resources online that can help you get started. If you need web space you can find plenty of services for free. Once you have a web site you need to find ways to monetize the site. You can get a free affiliate marketing account with a company like Market Leverage. This account will allow you to place banners and links on your site that can earn you lot’s of money. Once you figure out what your site is going to be about you add the links that best match your content. When I started selling online I used eBay to sell my own products and just stuff I had around the house, but then I soon ran out of stuff to sell. This is why I like affiliate marketing so much. You do not need to carry any inventory, you just need a web site to promote other companies products or services. The only challenge you will have when you fist get started is the lack of traffic to your site. As a new site added to Google or Bing you might not get the volume of traffic that you need to convert to sales. This is why most pro affiliate marketers use paid advertising like Google Adwords to drive traffic to their affiliate offers. You might want to have at least $100 to start playing with Google Adwords. Once you build your site you will then set up a campaign in Google Adwords, and pick keywords that people searching on Google will find your site with. Once you have a trial of Google Adwords you can figure out what work and what does not. Making money online is tough and you need to keep learning as you go along. The nice thing is that you can start for very little cost and get results very quickly. If you can spend a little more get web site hosting and build your own site with your own domain name. It cost money, but you will be building a brand.
