The Process of Earning Money Online
The Online Money Making Process can be a confusing one because just like the offline world, there are many ways of making money in the online world. I will be sharing with you the four step process to get you started.
The First Step – A Website
The one factor that is in common with all of the honest online ways to make real money, is a Website! To start a website, you need to choose a niche, a domain name, and a web host.
Niche
Choosing a niche or focus area can be difficult. Your niche could be something you are interested in, something you have knowledge of, or even something that you want to know how to do. Just make sure it is one that you will want to write content about. If you would like more ideas on choosing a niche, my post List Niche Ideas may help.
Domain Name
There are many domain registrars and domain reseller affiliates available to purchase a domain name from. You will need to pay an annual price that covers the annual fee and the administration fee to ICANN. The annual price ranges anywhere between $5 and $35. Some domain name providers may even offer the domain name for free if you use their web hosting services.
Web hosting
Web hosting on the other hand can have a lot of variance with options and price. Make sure you choose the web host that will fit your needs the most so ask a lot of questions. Here are a few suggested questions.
- Does it include unlimited sites?
- What is the length of the contract?
- Does it include unlimited email addresses?
- How does the price compare to other web hosting companies?
- Does it include unlimited messages?
- Is it up 24/7 with minimal down times?
Build a great foundation
A website is the foundation of your business. Therefore you want to
build this foundation to last over time. To do this you should use a well known Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress. You can download WordPress yourself or you can use it through another platform. You will find on the web many users that have had issues with the download process, so I would suggest using WordPress through a solid platform like Wealthy Affiliate.
Second Step – Content
Content is everything to your online business. Content leads to your
niche brand for a long term site, to your SEO rankings which leads to your traffic, to your user experience and relationships and to your revenue the reason you have an online business. That is a lot of reasons why Content is King! Users and Search Engines love “rich” content meaning unique, well written posts with lots of images and videos.
Third Step – Traffic
Without traffic, you are writing for yourself. That is why the second
step – content is so so important. There are several ways to increase traffic and great content is first on the list. Here are some other ways.
- SEO Rankings which come from traffic
- Buy an Ad (Google Adwords)
- Buy a number of visitors for a set price
- Social Media Promotions
- Use a Keyword Tool like Jaaxy to improve rankings
- Post in target market forums
- Comment on other blogger’s sites in your niche and include a link to your site.
Fourth Step – Income
Now is the fun creative part! There are many ways to earn income once you have your website and open up your online business.
- Affiliate Links
- Ads
- Products (Amazon)
- Your own Products

Unquestionably I will consider that which you have said. Your favorite reason seemed to be
the easiest thing to take into account. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed whilst other people think
about concerns that they plainly don’t know anything about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the head and also outlined
the whole thing without having side-effects, other folks can take notice.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
Jessika…
Appreciate your feedback!

I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a
bit, but other than that, this is magnificent blog.
An excellent read. I will definitely be back.

Howdy, I read your blog occasionally and I own a similar
one. I was just wondering if you get a lot of spam
responses? If so how do you prevent it, any
plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately
it’s driving me crazy so any assistance is very much appreciated.
Brayden…
I get some spam. But since I use WordPress through Wealthy Affiliate, it takes care of everything for me.

Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog stand out.
