A lot of people are looking for a way to make money online nowadays due to the benefits and the attractive lifestyles that it offers. However if you’re not careful, you might burn a huge hole in your pocket by venturing into the wrong business model or money making opportunities. That’s why I’m going give you 10 ways to make money online that you can start today safely.
#1 Sell Small Reports
Do you know that small reports sell better than lengthy and boring reports? Yes it’s true. Small reports that are less than $10 sell like crazy on the Internet. Small reports usually get straight to the point without any added crap or fluff compared to lengthy reports. The best thing about small reports is that it’s easier to create one.
# 2 Affiliate Marketing
There are hundreds of “gurus” online who want to sell you products for $297, $497, $997 or more that they claim will show you how you can earn a living online.
Don’t buy them. I’m going to show you how to do it all for only $7–and I’m going to give you the scripts that I use to make it happen for free.
Using my new $7 Secrets method, I generated over $3,000 in just 7 days with one thirty page report. Read on to find out how.
You see, the “gurus” of Internet Marketing want you to believe that you have to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in their products in order to have the knowledge you need to earn a great living online. They want you to think that there’s great hidden secrets that only they have, and the only way for you to get a hold of them is to break out your credit card and start spending loads of cash.
I want you to add a new word to your business vocabulary.
The word is “specialization”.
A new age has dawned in information marketing. And it’s the age of “specialization”.
Before I explain how this will help you create information products that sell like crazy, let me give you a very brief history lesson.
(I promise, this won’t hurt a bit. 
Information products online have evolved since I logged onto the Internet back in 1999…
1) THE SIMPLE AGE.
Times were simple back when I first came online. And so were the information products. Way back when, information products weren’t readily available online like they are today. If you could find ANY information on the topic you were interested in, you grabbed it.
2) THE SYSTEMATIC AGE.
As more and more people learned how to create and market information products online, a new era emerged: the “systematic” era. This was a time when huge information products were created with hundreds of pages. The idea was to create comprehensive courses on a particular topic.
3) THE SEPARATION AGE.
As “internet marketing” and other business-related markets became inundated with product offerings, the birth and rapid growth of “niche marketing” occurred. People began separating themselves from the crowd and focused on “tiny niche topics” of interest.
4) THE SPECIALIZATION AGE.
Again competition came – even in these small niches. While there is still money to be made by focusing on these tiny, untapped markets — the well is drying up at a fast rate. Now enters a new age … the “specialization” age of information marketing.
Which brings us to the lesson -
There is a LOT of money to be made by creating small, 7-15
page reports on PRECISE topics.
Most consumers would rather NOT sift through 100 pages of information to find out how to do something they are interested in, nor would they like to pay for 100 pages of information when they only need chapter 3.
With more and more products available on the market, consumers are getting pickier and pickier. They want what they want and only what they want.
Perhaps the biggest untapped information gold mine lies in this concept of creating small reports on precise topics.

Specialized information.
7-15 page reports that sell anywhere from $10-$100, depending upon the information.
And the benefits of writing these small reports are staggering -
1. You can write a small report in just a few hours of one day.
2. The profit per page ratio is astounding – 10 pages for $10 is a dollar per page per customer.
3. Small reports are MUCH easier to write than full-length courses.
4. There is a never-ending supply of topics for small reports.
5. You maximize the lifetime value of your customer. In other words, you can sell report after report to the SAME customer.
6. A series or collection of your small reports can be bundled into premium-priced courses over time.
7. When “hot topics” emerge (almost daily!) you can quickly crank out a small report to strike while the iron is hot.
8. When other marketers are seeing success with their products, you can create a complementary report to offer for sale as a supplement.
9. Many people can’t afford to buy (or refuse to buy) high-priced courses – but virtually anyone can whip out $10-$15.
The list could go on and on.
I’ve been creating small reports for a long time. In fact, I make over $15,000 in PROFIT every month from just ONE of my sites.
I know this works.
And not just for me.
I had a customer recently email me to let me know he sold 420 copies of his VERY FIRST small report, during its first month.
So, what I want to convince you to do is this -
***TRY IT FOR YOURSELF****
Create a small 7-15 page report and begin selling it online and see what kind of results you see.
A new information age has dawned – the age of specialization!
Create your own “special” reports and get your piece of the pie.
When I started getting into Internet Marketing I ran onto a guy who told me that making money online is easy up to 3 or 4 thousand a month. I thought “Great!” It was because I didn’t get it at first. Actually, for being a clever fellow, I didn’t get much of anything at first. What I’m going to show you isn’t perfect, but it’s very good.
You can make a hundred dollars selling a seven dollar report!
This isn’t a trick statement or a “cute” ploy. It’s how you look at it and it’s real, fear not. On top of that it’s drop dead simple!
Thank goodness…I am so sick of complicated ways to make money online that there were a few times that I slammed my laptop shut, kicked my desk, and went to the second fridge for beer. My wife won’t tolerate beer in the first fridge.
Anyway, I started setting up some virtual real estate of my own. Since then I have come to realize that Internet Marketing (selling products by means of the Internet) can be done in simple ways and in vastly overcomplicated ways.
Lately, I ended up with a blog that actually has traffic, now, and it’s increasing. I feel vindicated because I didn’t receive my first Google customer until I had been posting for two months. Now Google comes and takes a look every day.
If traffic is finally coming to a site you have, you have a good opportunity to help them. In these cases I present offers that can be used by low level internet marketers to just get in the game and start seeing deposits in their paypal accounts.
Just one of the products I show are reports like “How To Make Money Giving Away Free Reports”. You can buy these reports with full PLR rights and rewrite them to suit yourself. Or, you can write one . I’m about 50/50 on this. I’m writing this one.
The most exciting things to put into reports are your affiliate links to products that are relevant to the report. It’s so simple, yet it’s ingenious and easy to do.
You see, the idea is that the person who takes your free traffic report ($7 with rights) might be interested in another product you have that’s like “Article Marketing for Targeted Traffic Report”.
You might even make more money GIVING the reports away in PDF form that they can’t change by making it clear to those who are picking it up that they have the right to pass it on as bonuses, etc. Either way is OK.
If your visitor takes the free one they can pass it on but it has YOUR money making links in it. Or, they pay for the rights (PLR) and they get to make money by putting THEIR links into it.
Of the people who pay for PLR rights, only a few will go on with it and the rest of them will pass them on with your links still there.
I could write an entire book on the psychology of people who buy How To Reports with PLR rights and then just let them linger on their hard drives. But, it happens and it happens a lot.
So, if it goes out free, you earn money. If it goes out paid for, you make money.
You gotta like this, don’t you?
Now, get one of those reports, and put it where traffic that might be interested in the content of that report are showing up.
And check your paypal account.
Your ebook is not going to make money unless it contains the type of information that is eagerly sought after by the buyers. You have to first research the problems that are driving people crazy for solutions and then write information reports on them. Let us first understand the nature of such problems.
Have you ever suffered from a toothache that was about to explode your mouth?
Didn’t you wish you could ride a flying carpet and go straight to a dentist who specialized in emergency cases in your area so you could get an instant relief?
Would you start thumbing through the yellow pages to do a comparison-shopping for dentists for their charges and qualifications because there are scores of them in your big city?
Perhaps not.
Affiliate marketing is a fast paced business. You can set it up in minimal time and be up and running. Additionally, the activity occurs at very fast pace. You have about five seconds to grasp the attention of the visitor and get them involved in the sales process. There is no time to wait, rest, or kick back because this is a business that happens twenty four hours a day, 7 days a week.The end goal of affiliate marketing is to help people do what they want to do while you make serious profits. In our written training article, we are going to discuss how to boost conversion ratios and make more money.1. The affiliate programs that you choose to promote must be relevant to the niche you are selling in. You can’t have a site, or a blog about credit reports, then redirect your traffic to diet sites. That would do nothing but frustrate the surfer, and kill your chances of making a sale. It is important just to stay on topic here.2. Consider using text links as opposed to images in your marketing materials. People are becoming more and more immune to banner ads and such. They are easily able to mentally ignore them. With a text link, you save somebody some bandwidth, have more of an opportunity to tell more about how this product will benefit your potential customer, and increase sales as a result.3. Avoid hard sales pitches. People have been tired of that for a long time. It’s better to educate yourself about the product by researching forums, communities and such. You could even buy the product yourself to try it. If you give a end-user prospective about a product, you are more likely to get the person to buy from you.4. Write your affiliate text links and call to action clearly. It is imperative that the potential customer knows exactly what to do next. It’s not always what you say, its how you say it that makes the difference. In essence you have to give them a clear picture of what is happening, or the next step they should take. Consider using phrases like, “Download your copy here” or “Order this now for $19.99″.5. Don’t confuse people. The last thing you want to do is have people all confused because there is too much stuff on your page. You don’t want to let them think, “What should I do? There is so much stuff on this page.” If you keep the outbound links to a minimum, and leave maybe a little more than a link to the merchant website, it simplifies the process of making the sell.Training yourself to be successful in affiliate marketing takes time and quite a bit of reading. You can boost your conversion ratios if you implement the previously mentioned suggestions. At the end of the day, you want to keep your sales process simple, help people do what they want to do while you make insane profits.
There are many ways to start a web site and the first thing you need to do is find a niche market. The market needs to be vibrant, have a decent amount of avid and eager prospects and are willing to spend money.
Where can you find a niche? I use the Clickbank marketplace and look in the various categories and at the top products listed. This way you not only find a niche market but an affiliate product.
The other way is to go to Amazon and look through the book listings. Look for what people are searching for. Then go to either Clickbank, Linkshare or Commission Junction for affiliate products to sell.
After you have found a niche market you should create a ‘landing page’. This is a short letter with 2-3 paragraphs and a possibly an opt in form to a free report, newsletter, course or product.
The landing page needs to review the affiliate product and catch their attention with a hard hitting headline…”Don’t buy XYZ product until you read this…!” or “What I learned after reading or using XYZ product”. Something that grabs their attention. Offer a related bonus so you stand out from the other affiliates. Make sure it’s of quality and related to the affiliate program.
After creating your landing page, you will upload it to your web host or server.
This is a task that stumps many newbie’s but it isn’t anything to fear. You can get fr*ee ftp software like Cuteftp.com or other’s at download.com Just follow the directions and you will be on the web in seconds!
Who should you choose for a web host? I use a few that are either very inexpensive or expensive. From $4.95/mo. for unlimited domains to $80/mo for 10. The reason for the different hosts or servers is what I plan on doing with my web sites. If it’s an affiliate web site or my own product I use the cheaper. If you want to really make money online you must automate.
You will find yourself spending more and more or your valuable time doing the same tedious chores over and over.

There are so many hyped sites and ‘guru’s’ telling you to do this and not that to make a full time living online that your head starts to spin off in space

Before you can make money online you have to find a profitable niche.
Be open for ideas. Have a notebook or little digital recorder with you at all times. You never know when an idea will pop into your mind. Make a note of every single idea that might come your way. It could be your million dollar niche!
Let’s start identifying the 7 ways to find your million dollar niche:
1) ezinearticles.com and other article directories: This is one of the best ideas to find potential niches. Browse through the categories on the home page of EzineArticles. If you click on one of the categories that strike your fancy, it will give you a whole list of sub-categories or sub-niches. Write down the sub-categories you like and that you believe could be a potential profit maker.
There is nothing that has motivated me more lately than selling some hot internet products directly from my website. Ever since adding Clickbank products to my site related to my internet marketing business, I have seen a fairly regular stream of sales coming in. The beautiful thing about it is that these products have not been over-priced courses or e-books, but are lower-ticket items in the $5-$25 price range!
You may be wondering how you can make good money online by selling such cheap products. The key is that they are not “cheap” in the sense that they have no value. In fact, they are products in high demand because they do provide exceptional value at a lower cost than other internet marketers may charge. This is why writing short, content-rich reports becomes an important and easy way to generate cash flow for your online business.
I have been considering putting an e-book together of my own since I have written many articles for my business. It wouldn’t be that difficult really since all I would have to do is compile the articles I’ve written into a book with chapters on different topics. I could then offer the e-book for free on my site and to my subscribers, or I could sell it. This is a good idea to boost your business, but what if you haven’t written many articles, hate writing, and the thought of creating your own e-book seems like an overwhelming task?
I have just the answer for you! Write a short, content-rich report on some hot topic being talked about all over the web or in your niche-specific forums, and sell it for a small price. Why would people buy your report rather than some guru’s over-priced masterpiece you ask? Well think about your own internet surfing habits. When you first hear about a hot item, chances are you won’t jump on it and purchase the item right away. No matter how good it looks, you may need some time to think about it, you may need to see the offer more than once, or twice, or three times. You may want to read reviews and testimonials from other people who have bought the item first.
In the time it takes you to think about a new, hot product, you will have started to see many other people talking about making money online with it. At this point, it now becomes a hot opportunity for you. This is when you should start writing a short, content-rich report on the topic – a report that you can promote and sell for half the price or even less than half the price, that offers a brief glimpse of the same information that is in demand by others looking for this product and wanting a better deal.
You can see that it’s important to keep up with what’s current online. So if you’re in need of a hot topic to write a short report about, then there are a few places you can go to find information in demand. My personal recommendation if you’re an internet marketer like me would be to head over to the Warrior Forum and read up on what new products are being discussed there, or what type of information people are asking about and looking for on a regular basis. There are thousands of discussions taking place on the internet on any topic that interests you. Join some discussion groups and get involved in the action!
If you don’t want to visit a forum, then visit article directory sites and find out what people are writing articles about these days. You can easily get ideas for your own articles and short reports just from reading one or two articles on the topic that interests you and that you want to make money online from. In fact, you don’t even have to read the article, just scan the titles of newly posted articles!
As you can see, it’s easy to find hot topics to write short, content-rich reports on that you can turn around and offer for sale at a low price that people will jump for. Even just one, or a few sales will keep you motivated to sell more and more and make money online with short reports. Good luck!
Selling your own information products online is an excellent way to make money. But the thought of writing, packaging and selling an ebook has many people running scared. Frankly, the whole process seems overwhelming. But that’s OK, because there is a much simpler (and often times more profitable) way to sell information than writing a 100-200 page ebook. It’s called small reports!
Imagine writing small reports on very specific topics. Can you get your point across in 7-15 pages? Yes. All of a sudden the project doesn’t seem so daunting after all.
OK, confession time…
When I first wanted to build an online business I decided to write and sell an ebook in the fitness niche. I spent 3 months writing a 285 page ebook. Then I spent a lot longer figuring out how to package and set up a website to sell the ebook. And all this before I saw my first penny!
