How to Make Extra Money Online in 2018
Hey guys, today I'm going to share my personal experience in making extra money online since years ago and still works until now.
In the past few years, I founded several blogs/websites and sold some of them with handsome of profits using the exact same technique.
I’m not going to preach you on how to get rich but just sharing to you exactly what I did.
Here’s what I did:
1. I sit down on my desk and start brainstorming niche keywords that are less competitive and with good monthly searches. I used tools like Google Keyword Planner and SEMrush in the process.
2. I picked one main keyword that fulfilled my criteria to proceed. Just for the sake of giving you an example, let’s say my main keyword is “how to make fertilizer at home”.
3. I went to domain registrar Namecheap and registered a domain name related to my niche, let’s say the domain name is “diymyfertilizer.com”. Use domain name that is easy to remember, spell, and less wording.
4. I linked the domain to my hosting provider (you can get one with less than $10 a month) and built a blog website that talked about paper shredding (You don’t need to be tech savvy to build a website nowadays, there are free website builder that come together with the hosting company, you just need to do some edit and design to make your website look nice).
5. I published 1-2 original articles per day to the site (make sure your articles is not copied from elsewhere and high-quality) and optimized them for my main keyword (and some related keywords) using proper SEO techniques.
6. I went to affiliate networks like Shareasale, CJ Affiliate, Linkshare, and Clickbank to sources for affiliate products. I grabbed those affiliate links and embedded in my articles as a recommendation. I posted articles like product review, how-to, step-by-step tutorial, tips, and guide about fertilizer.
7. 1-3 months later, traffic started coming to my site and I start getting sales.
8. As more of my articles ranked higher on Google, the site’s traffic also increasing and same for my affiliate revenue.
9. After 7 months, that small niche site was making me about $100++ per day, or $3k to $5k per month. The income is great considering I only spent 2-3 hours per week to publish new articles, do some SEO and maintain the site.
10. I then let it run on autopilot and moved on to my next project. You can also sell it if you want some quick money.
If you don’t want to sell affiliate products, you can monetize with Google AdSense instead.
You can also collect leads and sell them to local companies at a good rate.
It’s not hard to make money online, but you have to invest time, a little bit of money, and efforts to learn, test, and do it!
This is not a get-rich-quick method, but a real business that can make you great money to live life on your term.
