Ways to Make Money Online

Ways to Make Money Online - its the traffic stupid

Money picture of moneyI've had limited success with making money online blogging. Made about $170 so far - a real pittance. Time is the problem - making money online is not quick and certainly isn't easy, but I'm convinced with time and effort it's possible. Of the ways to make money online, blogging is simple but can be time consuming.

Seems to me the thing to solely concentrate on above all else is traffic. This means two main things:

1) Choosing a topic that people want to read about and are searching for. I can't believe I chose football but didn't think about what people where searching for

2) Use keywords. You can actually get your site indexed and attract traffic from Google within a week, but you must, must use keywords and do keyword research. Also don't even think of using a popular keyword, you've got no chance! Look for longer groups of keywords on your topic eg latest football transfers and rumours as opposed to football news. I've consistently got google top 10 by using longer groups of kew words eg Google 'EPL Transfer' & my site is at 4th position.

My problem is I wrote a load of posts and didnt SEO any of them!! Doh!!! Now I SEO all my posts and was getting on average 300-400 hits a day without even posting! (Its dropped off a bit lately as I changed templates and stuffed something up!

Of all the ways to make money online I think blogging, or running a website is the easiest and cheapest way. However it's all about the traffic and it takes time and effort. Personally I would ignore most of the crap you see on the internet about ways to make money online. I've not yet found anything which ultimately isn't bull. Good luck!!
