How To Make Your First $10 Online In 30 Days or Less…
ByIf you’ve never ever made a single dollar online then pay attention… because in this post I’m going to reveal a proven strategy for making your first 10 bucks online. And it’s a fairly simple process… I’ll tell you exactly what you should do step by step… (so don’t worry)
First things first, your going to need to decide which method will be used to make money from, after all in the Internet Marketing jungle there are more ways than one to make money online… but which one will work for you as a complete and utter newbie?
WELL… I won’t keep you thinking on that one… because it would probably put your mind in information overload and cause a headache or something, after all if your new to Internet Marketing then there’s a good chance your already suffering from some kind of information overload… (it’s not uncommon)
Nope… I’ll save you from all the thinking and tell you which route you should take… after all i promised to show you step by step how to make your 10 bucks… right ?
OK… so probably the best way to get started making money online is by becoming an affiliate marketer, and there are numerous reasons why. The obvious fact is that you do NOT have to sell your own product and deal with all the support that comes with selling your own product or service is probably the obvious benefit because your essentially selling somebody Else’s product and taking a cut letting them do all the support work, product delivery etc. You just send the leads and get paid… it’s as easy as that.
Another good reason Is.. It’s faster to get started and if we want to make our first 10 bucks online in thirty days or less then were going to need speed of implementation.
The first step to do when starting an affiliate marketing campaign is to find a profitable market to attack. So a little bit of market research is in order here… A good thing to remember is some of the biggest markets online especially in the ‘info marketing’ world are health & fitness, dating and relationships & self improvement markets. So always bear that in mind when starting to look for a market.
The thing to really do is find niche markets within niche markets and really nail down that sub niche. For instance, the exercise and fitness market are are wide markets with lots of sub niches in them. Products specifically for building a six pack for and other products for bigger more broader and muscular chests for instance.. and it’s the same for the dating market or any other market, they all have sub niches.
Now one quick and easy way to find a market is to search on clickbank.com in the marketplace. There you will see the top selling products for various categories and markets. If you look closely you’ll also see stats for the product, like the price and how much commission the product vendor is giving per sale. Another thing to note is the Gravity score, which is under a stat called Grav… this will tell you how well it’s converting for affiliates. The higher this number is the better!
Once you’ve found the product you’d like to promote, it’s time for a little keyword research. Head over to Google’s free keyword research tool at https://adwords.google.com. Enter some keywords that may be relevant to the product you’d like to promote. The Google tool will bring up lots of results for the products keywords and give you some idea of how popular the market is, and how much paid competition there is. This means the amount of advertisers paying for Google’s adword’s program, the ad’s you see on the right hand side and above in Google’s search results.
Now make a note of some of the most searched for keyword terms in the search you just made using the Google keywords tool. Copy and paste them into a spreadsheet or a word doc.
Now it’s time to get a tiny bit techy… (but don’t let that scare you) it’s not really that hard!
Now we are going to try and get some free traffic from the search engines…
The way we’ll do that is by using a blog, and that’s because blogs have become very search engine friendly and search engines love the content they provide ranking them higher in search results. Now you don’t have to be an Einstein to do some SEO (search engine optimization) even SEO of the most basic kind can work pretty well… and that’s what we’ll use, just some very basic SEO on our blogs to help it get noticed more by the search engines.
Now to begin with your going to have to get a domain which costs a few bucks… and some hosting which is really inexpensive. The best places i have found for that and what i currently use are www.HostGator.com for hosting and www.namecheap.com for domains. Find a domain that is related to your market and product.
Once you’ve got your domain and hosting, then in your control panel for your hosting account you’ll see an icon near the bottom called fantastico, you can use that to quickly install a free wordpress blog on domain. BTW if you don’t even have a few bucks to spare on a domain name and hosting account you can grab a free hosted blog at www.blogger.com.

Now once you have your blog up and ready it’s time to make a few articles related to the product your going to promote. Now you have a few choices, either do it yourself or get somebody to write them for you… Either way what you must do is write a few short articles that is related to the product… for instance if your selling a weight loss product write about the benefits of a healthier skinner body… or if it’s fitness product write about a specific tactic for building up a certain muscle or something similar…
Now remember the highly searched for keywords in the search we did previously? Well if you were following through you would of copied those keywords into a spreadsheet or document… what you do now is choose a few of those keywords and make sure you add it into the text your writing up for the articles. This will make the search engines pick up the content if somebody searches for those keyword terms and it will be targeted traffic as somebody would be searching for something related to the product your promoting.
Now the trick is to drop in your affiliate link by adding a link anchored to some text, for instance ”For more information about this product click here.. ” and make the click here part a clickable link to the product that passes through your affiliate link.
After you’ve done that your about done! All there is left to do is wait a while for the search engines to pick up the content and with a bit of luck you’ll start seeing a treacle of traffic appear on the site. It’s best you install Google’s free analytic tool which you can get as a plugin for wordpress to keep an eye on traffic. It will tell you how many visits your site is getting which you’ll need to see whats passing through to the site and where from and by which keywords.
Now sit back and relax and keep an eye on your affiliate account and with a bit of luck you’ll start seeing some commissions appear from nowhere!

Hi Dan,
Really good article, I like how you teach people to test and track what they are doing, rather than simply hit and hope.
I love google anayltics, don’t know what I would do without it, it’s amazing to see where your traffic is coming from, and what keywords or search terms are sending that traffic.
I also love the fact you can see how long people stay on your blog for and the estimate of pages they read, the information is invaluable.
Just need to find some more high converting affiliate products and I am sure the commissions will keep rolling in.

Hello Dan!
I enjoyed your article immensely. In all that I have read over the past six months, I haven’t learned even close to the superb information here. It is straightforward and sounds so very simple to implement. I’ll be doing a tad bit more research and start to put a plan into order here shortly. Thanks so much for this great post!
To your success!

As everyone has mentioned, this is a nice post!! I like the basic concept, though I’ve been blogging and doing affiliate stuff since ’08, there are still a few concepts here that I can use; like say the keyword search method! I did that once for my first blog, just never done it again…lol!
But hey, I get pretty good hits on my blog! The problem with keyword posting is that it’s hard to make the writing your own; but if you’re strictly doing it for the purpose of keywording, then by all means!
Thanx for the good post

Well thank you Dan. This is the first time I’ve understood instructions. They were written in a language I understood and there was none of that silly waffling. Brilliant ! I wish I had discovered
you much much sooner. Will be looking out for your emails.
Thank you again,
