 <\/p>\n

It’s exciting to think about how much money you can make online.<\/p>\n

But if you’re new to online marketing, it can also be overwhelming
\nto try to figure out which business model is right for you.<\/p>\n

The solution? Keep it simple.<\/p>\n

Just follow these seven surefire steps to online profits…<\/p>\n

Step 1: Choose a Market<\/p>\n

But don’t just choose any market – instead, choose a HUNGRY market.
\nThat means you’re looking for a market that is actively seeking
\npaid solutions to their problems.<\/p>\n

Here’s how:<\/p>\n

o Search marketplaces like Amazon.com and Clickbank.com to see what
\ntypes of niches attract eager, proven buyers.<\/p>\n

o Use a keyword tool like WordTracker.com or the free Google
\nKeyword Tool to find out what people are searching for. You can
\nenter your proposed niche keywords (like “dog training”) to see if
\nthere is a demand, or enter a broad keyword (like “secrets” or “how
\nto”) to uncover new niches.<\/p>\n

o Go to EzineArticles.com and browse the top articles to see which
\nniches are popular.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Get Your Tools In Place<\/p>\n

Once you find a niche that spends money, your next step is to
\ngather your tools. These include:<\/p>\n

o A domain name, which you can get at NameCheap.com.
\no Hosting, which you can secure at HostGator.com.
\no An autoresponder, which you can purchase through Aweber.com.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Select an Offer to Promote<\/p>\n

Next, you need to find an affiliate offer that you can promote to
\nyour hungry niche. The best way to do that is to find out what
\nthey’re already buying… and choose a similar offer.<\/p>\n

Simply go to Clickbank.com and browse the relevant niche category.
\nThose products appearing at the top of the catalog are your best
\nsellers – you should choose a product near the top of the list.<\/p>\n

Just be sure to buy, read and use the product to ensure that it is,
\nindeed, a good product.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Write and Upload a Mini eCourse<\/p>\n

Your next step is to create an autoresponder series around the
\ntopic of your product so that you can promote your offer. Your
\nautoresponder series should be at least 7-12 messages long.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n

You’re selling a copywriting product. You can create a seven-part
\necourse on how to write a sales letter. Then promote the
\ncopywriting product in every message.<\/p>\n

You’re selling a diet recipe book. You can create a 10-part weight
\nloss course that pitches the recipe book in every message.<\/p>\n

You’re selling a dog training video. You can create a seven part
\ncourse that teaches the basic obedience lessons such as sit, down
\nand stay. In every message you refer your prospects to the paid
\nvideo for more information.<\/p>\n

Here’s the key: Do NOT solve your prospect’s problems 100%. You
\nwant to provide useful but incomplete information, so that your
\nprospects need to purchase your affiliate offer in order to fully
\nsolve their problems.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Create a Squeeze page<\/p>\n

Next, you need to persuade your prospects to subscribe to your
\necourse. You do this by creating a mini sales page (AKA squeeze
\npage). This page should include:<\/p>\n

o A headline that touts your course’s major benefit (e.g., “FREE:
\nHow to housetrain your puppy in just three easy steps!”).<\/p>\n

o A list of the other benefits of your course (e.g., “You’ll
\ndiscover the secrets of turning an unruly, rambunctious puppy into
\na perfect houseguest!”).<\/p>\n

o And a call to action (e.g., “Just enter your name and email
\naddress in the form below now, click join and you’ll get instant
\naccess to this eye-opening report!”).<\/p>\n

You may also provide proof of your claims, such as testimonials,
\nvideos, screenshots, pictures and similar evidence.<\/p>\n

Step 6: Drive Traffic to the Squeeze Page<\/p>\n

Next, you need to drive targeted traffic to your squeeze page so
\nthat you can quickly build your list. You can do this by:<\/p>\n

o Starting a blog and posting articles that are optimized for the
\nsearch engines.<\/p>\n

o Trading links with other high traffic sites in your niche.<\/p>\n

o Being a guest blogger on other peoples’ blogs.<\/p>\n

o Co-promoting with other marketers in your niche (e.g., endorsing
\neach other in your newsletters).<\/p>\n

o Submitting articles to EzineArticles.com and other article
\ndirectories.<\/p>\n

o Using social media sites like Squidoo.com, Yahoo! Answers, and
\nFacebook.com.<\/p>\n

o Participating on niche forums on in niche blog discussions.<\/p>\n

Step 7: Add Messages to Your Autoresponder Series<\/p>\n

Once you’re getting traffic, building your list and making a
\nprofit, you can start adding even more messages to your
\nautoresponder – anywhere from a couple month’s worth of messages to
\na year or more.<\/p>\n

That way you’ll make money virtually on autopilot – all you have to
\ndo is build your list and let your autoresponder do all the work!<\/p>\n

Summary<\/p>\n

Making money online doesn’t have to be complicated, not when you
\nfollow these seven easy steps!<\/p>\n
