“Making money online quick and easy” seems to be the buzz
word today in the home business and money making arena
online these days. It would seem at first glance that
making money online seems to be a very simple thing.
However, as most internet marketers would tell you, this is
not true as making money online is a serious business and
hard work has to go into it.

This article aims to help anyone trying to make money online
with a website
by suggesting ways to increase your online money making
profits today.

1. Increase your website traffic

Increasing your website traffic today can and will increase
your online profits because the more people that you get to
visit your website, the more chances of a sale being made.
The more qualified the website traffic the better meaning
that it would be best for someone to get “Biscuits” if they
were searching for it online. Some ways to increase your
website traffic are found below.

Firstly, traffic exchanges today are used by many people to
increase website traffic to their websites. While this is
not wrong, you must know the type of website traffic you are
getting and how to use it. The website traffic that you are
getting from such programs are website owners and if you
promote a tool that they can use to increase their own
website traffic or promote a website traffic generation
newsletter to them, you can increase your own website
traffic substantially when you send a newsletter telling
them about the latest traffic generation tool you got.
Therefore to make money from traffic exchanges you need to
use it with a landing page leading to a newsletter signup
otherwise you are wasting your surfing time.

On the other hand, most people who use such exchanges remark
that a plain signup page for a business opportunity does not
really work. A better idea some have argued is to promote a
newsletter signup page which will then send automated emails
to the signup via an autorespondor. Internet marketing
studies have shown that it takes 7 views of an offer online
before anyone would consider making a purchase thus
validating this strategy.

Secondly, search engine optimisation (SEO) is the key term
that most people online seem to be fascinated about when
trying to make money online. The reason for this is simple.
Most people today go to search engines to find out about
anything online. If you can get more high search rankings
for your own website, this can translate into more qualified
visitors to your website from the search engines and greater
sales and you can then make more money with anything that
you are promoting. Casting aside the more technical
programming jargon, the twin most important things to making
money online in terms of SEO is inbound links and good
content on your website. There are several ways to get good
inbound links. You can buy them online, or you can do
reciprocal linking or you can write articles and publish
them. In all these ways, you can increase the number of
inbound links to your website and increase its website
traffic as well both from the website that you link is on
but from the search engines eventually.

2. Start a Newsletter

This is a quick tip that even the smallest website owner can
adopt. If you are new to starting a newsletter, why not
just go to Yahoogroups.com and create a Yahoogroup for your
newsletter and post the code onto your website so that
people can subscribe for your Newsletter. Most people with
websites selling things have discounts from time to time or
have new products. You can make more money from your
existing customers that like your products by telling them
about your latest promotion or latest new food item. Signup

3. Make money from your website using Google Adsense

Once you gain website traffic to your website, you could
always signup as a publisher with Google and make money from
people that land at your website. Even if the person does
not want to purchase anything from your website, they might
click on the Ad by Google and you make money from that
visitor. A quick tip that has proven very useful is that
you should always match your Google Adsense settings to the
colour of your website page as far as possible so that the
visitor to your website thinks its part of the website.
This would result in higher clickthrough ratios and allow
you to make more money from Adsense.

Finally, one would have to spend time writing out a plan of
action before any of the ideas mentioned above can help you
make more money with your website. The golfing adage
paralysis by analysis still rings through in this situation.
Many people get so fascinated with the various internet
marketing strategies available online that they forget to
actually sit down and carry it out. Write a plan of action,
including timelines and amount of money and time you are
willing to spend and show it to your friends and then get
down to doing it. Making money online, coupled with great
determination can yield you massive profits. Here’s wishing
you all the best in your quest for online profits.
