Your niche market will be your "audience" and they will have unique needs. The advantage you'll have starting in a familiar area will be your ability to provide instant value. Plus you get to save time from having to do more research.  

You can start an online business in any niche. A niche is a group of people who are all interested in just that 'one' thing.

And that one thing could be helping with... how to play a musical instrument a certain way... making vegan cupcakes and frosting... crafting holiday decorations year round... speaking another language in a specific dialect.

I think you understand what I mean. 

As you develop your website and add content to it, you'll begin seeing how to make money from it. There are many different ways to make money from a website.

Let's look at a few...

What type of online business are you starting?

The most common (and most popular) method for making money online is through affiliate marketing. It's the foundation of online marketing.

Affiliate marketing is getting paid to promote brands. 

The way it works online is you're assigned a specific piece of "code" from a merchant, like Amazon.com or Walmart. 

You place that code into your website and when someone triggers it, and goes through the merchant's checkout page to make a purchase, you get a piece of the sale. 

Commissions rate anywhere between 4%-75%. And when you get good at affiliate marketing, some merchants will give you 100%.

Affiliate marketing fits into any of these online business models:

Digital Product Sales  

These include eBooks, podcast (mp3) recordings, online instructional courses, paid subscription (drip) content. The advantage is there's no physical inventory to manage. There's low overhead costs. It can be converted into an automated sales process. To scale the business, develop more content, or repurpose what you already have. 

Physical Product Sales  

Run a successful ecommerce business. Oversee physical shipment sales directly from your home or fulfillment center like Amazon.com. Overhead costs depend on your storage needs. Inventory must be managed. Automated sales processes are available here, too. 

Software as a Service  

Games, apps and online services are hot commodities. Here you can monetize users through a paid subscription plan or make advertising revenue. Overhead costs will depend on your needs. Organic search and paid traffic methods are available for scaling the business upward. 

Services  

Freelance your own professional services or broker projects through virtual assistants and colleagues. Relationship building and repeat business is vital to maintaining consistent income from this model. Develop and distribute content in order to advertise your services and scale business upward.

Coaching / Consulting  

This is for anyone who’s articulate and knows a better way of doing things. You can have clients pay you on a paid subscription plan, by retainer, or per session. Relationship building and repeat business is vital for this business model. Develop, repurpose and distribute content to be seen as a leader in your industry and to scale up in the business.

Step 3. Get Visitors (Traffic) To Your Website

Use an online keyword research tool like Jaaxy to find the most relevant, searched for terms in your niche and produce value driven content based from those findings. 

There's no limit as to how many keywords you can use on a web page as long as the content is relevant to your audience, unique to only your website, and adds value to your reader. That being said, the industry standard is one keyword per every 200 words of content.

Choose a main keyword for your posts. Then develop sub-keywords that support your main keyword. 

Place your main keyword into your content Title and URL. Place your sub-keywords, including main keyword everywhere else. Including: paragraph lead sentences, subheads, and internal links to other related content on your website.

Keywords are just as essential for website content as they are for website search engine optimization (SEO). These are the technical aspects of the website page where you include keywords as part of the image names and Alt text, and in the Meta description, as mentioned above in the 12 Point SEO Checklist.

Using this approach to keywords ultimately helps you increase the amount of organic “free” search engine traffic leading back to your site.

Boost Website Traffic with Keywords & PPC

The downside to only using organic traffic is the amount of time it takes for keyword rich content to rank in search engines. The reality is that it can take months. 

Using pay-per-click (PPC) however only takes hours for your content to be seen on the first search engine results page (SERP). 

For instance, say you want to quickly test the responsiveness of a new piece of content you've just created. You can pay a traffic network like Google AdWords or Facebook Advertising to have it immediately be seen by your target audience. 

There are many traffic networks online, you're not just limited to the big companies. 

Since PPC advertising is essentially bidding money for people to visit your content, you're going to need to manage an advertising expense budget. Keep in mind when developing your content, the more relevant your PPC ad is to the content you're developing, the less expensive PPC will be overall.

How much can you earn as an affiliate marketer?  

Seriously speaking... as much as you want.

Here are some example numbers for you to work with below. 

This breakdown demonstrates what the lower end of the earning scale would be for an affiliate marketer starting out, per month, on average, so you can get a good idea of the earning potential. 

Let's say you get 1,000 clicks to your site in a month. 

That's 33 clicks per day, which is more than realistic once your website's established.  

Out of those 1,000 clicks, you get a 20% click-through rate on your affiliate links.  

1,000 x 0.20 = 200 affiliate clicks  

• Scenario 1: 

If 1:50 (or 2%) of these people buy through your affiliate links, you've made 4 sales.  

• Scenario 2: 

If 1:20 (or 5%) of these people buy through your affiliate links, you've made 10 sales.  

If the product you're promoting pays $30 per sale (pretty typical), you'll have earned $120 in Scenario 1, and $300 in Scenario 2. 

Are you beginning to see the earning potential?

Let's look at some realistic, but bigger affiliate money now.

In time as your website grows in popularity and authority you'll reach a point where you're getting 100+ unique clicks / visitors per day. 

By then you'll also have a better understanding of who your audience is so you'll know how to speak to them and confidently promote $100+ per sale commission offers, plus many other offers that pay residually each month.  

100 clicks day = 3,000 clicks per month  

Let's keep the same 20% click-through ratio. 

600 people each and every month click through to your affiliate links. 

Let's say you're promoting a $100 per sale offer and converting at 1:20 (that's 30 overall conversions). 

That comes to $3,000 profit in one month! 

That's $36,000 profit a year.  

And this can be scaled to any level you’d like. 

Rankings will only continue to grow cumulatively over time, as you build out your website(s) like compounding interest. Affiliate marketing only brushes the surface of your earning potential, yet.  

You will hear stories about people earning $1,000/day off of a single keyword. 

You will hear stories about people earning residual income year round from home. 

These stories are true and it is possible. And eventually in one form or another, it's all accomplished through affiliate marketing. 

Now that you know the 5 steps to building a digital asset worth real money. Start by building your foundation tonight.

(1) Build a SiteRubix niche website (2) Create relevant content that provides value (3) Get rankings and traffic (4) Make money  

Obviously, this guide has simplified the process. Each of these steps have lessons of their own. 

Plus, what if you're not doing things right? 

Who's going to be there for you, to watch over you? 

Keep you on the right path. 

Let me introduce you to someone. 

That someone is me. 

I thought I was a big shot. 

I used this guide and struggled with things on my own. 

Things got pretty rough. 

I was beaten down.

But first, what if...

...I showed you a fail-proof system for succeeding with your make money online plan.

Transform your ideas into money making websites from niche idea to commission sales and plug yourself into a network of 24 / 7 / 365 days available live support anytime you need it, which is especially helpful after your new online business is up and running. 

Would that save you from struggling?

It’s hard to find reliable training:

• Many programs sell hype rather than help (but which ones?) 
• A lot of "how-to" courses teach “tactics” rather than fundamentals (but how would you know the difference?) 
• Some programs are outrageously overpriced (but how do you determine its value?) 

... well guess what, they will all leave you with frustrating results. 

But there is Good News!

Hey there, my name is Michael Martinez and Yes, I know exactly how you're feeling. 

Through perseverance, I've managed to achieve quite a bit of success. Today I'm able to...

• Pay my bills each month
• Work from home
• Spend my time the way I want 

But I'll be honest... Things definitely didn't start out this way.

When I first started my online journey, I wasn’t afraid of losing all of my money (which is probably why I did). So, I went back to the gut wrenching, undignified j.o.b. again to make up for what I had lost. Then returned back to online marketing to make things work! But they didn't. * AGAIN * Nothing changed. * IT'S NOT WORKING * So, there I am, broke yet again. All that time, effort, things I learned along the way - I thought... what a total waste. It kept me awake at night. It was really messing with my head. It was the fear of uncertainty... not knowing my plan for the future that tortured my thoughts at night. Now I sleep like a baby. But back then, I didn't have anybody I could talk to about what I felt I needed in order to achieve my purpose. There was no one near to me who understood achieving a whole new level, type of success. I even contacted several online “coaches” hoping they would be the "holy-grail" answer to my struggles. Boy, was I wrong. Broke Wrong... * AGAIN! *

Of course, you know exactly what I'm talking about, right? 

Does any of this sound familiar?

• You want to spend more time with family
• You want to supplement your current income
• You want to be in a better financial situation

But you're still at square one. 

I understand just how you feel.  

Ever felt so compelled to do something that even you can’t believe you did it? You can only lie to yourself for so long before you get so frustrated that the only option left is to just f*cking do something about it! So, I worked another soul sucking 9-5 job just long enough to afford me one final 6-month Oohrah at making it work. I turned in my resignation and told myself, I'm never going to trade my time for money doing something I don't believe in, ever again! I got myself back online... I immediately jumped back into affiliate marketing... I directly signed up with a PHENOMENAL all-in-one training program / affiliate marketing community... And, I‘ll tell you what, ever since then...

Everything instantly got easier.

Since then, I've run into countless people who’ve encountered the same, inner battle I went through. 

It pains me knowing they didn't have to struggle like that either. 

And because of that, it seemed pretty unfair of me to keep the source of my affiliate marketing success all to myself... Especially since it's made such a HUGE impact on my life.
