How To Earn Extra Money

I've decided to release the entire "How To Earn Extra Money Online" audio course to readers as a free download series. We're going to release one per week for the next 6 months, as it is a 30-CD course all told. This course used to sell on major online retailers such as Amazon and Google Base for $298.

The first CD is an overview of the process for setting up an online business. To download it, just click the link below:

Online Business Setup Step-By-Step Free Download (15.3 megabytes)

You will need some sort of unZIP utility to decompress the archive, as well as a program that can play MP3 files to listen to it.

I hope that you find the information in this CD useful. I welcome your comments, thoughts, and suggestions about the ideas presented in this CD - just leave a comment below.

To your success,

The truth of the matter is that, if all you're looking to do is make an extra couple hundred bucks per month on the Internet, it's NOT hard. On more than one occasion, I have spent about 90 minutes in front of a computer with friends, showing them by having them doing. By the end of that 90 minutes, they can have the basic shell of an online business set up.

So, what is the basic plan? Seriously, here's all you really have to do, and how to do it using nothing but FREE tools:

1). Create a Google account in order to get access to all their tools. If you have Gmail, then you already have a Google account.

2). Use the Google External Keyword Tool to find high average CPC Adwords keywords (do a Google search for the tool to find it - it's self-explanatory to use).

3). Create a Blogger blog (part of Google also), using several of the most commonly searched for, high average CPC (cost per click) keywords discovered in step 2 as your title and in your description and first post.

4). Edit your blog's template layout and ad Adsense blocks to the sidebar, header, footer, or between posts. During this process, you will create an Adsense account, which takes 2-3 business days to have it approved.

5). Also to your blog layout, add a Feedburner signup button. Feedburner is also a Google service, and provides a free way of building an email notification list. You MUST have an email list of some sort if you want long term profitability out of your new web site.

6). Create an account on EzineArticles.com (ok, NOT a Google service, but still free) and write an article about your topic, using some of the keyword phrases from step 2, and providing good info, and then create an author resource box that contains a keyword-specific link back to your new blog.

7). Rule 1: Update your blog daily with relevent, informative, up to date, keyword rich posts. This will help you start showing up in the Google SERPs (Search Engine Result Pages) when people search for your keywords.

8). Rule 2: All blog posts are also articles that you should submit on ezinearticles.com. This will help build traffic.

If you're blogging about something that you really enjoy and that has sufficient search traffic, you will get to the $200/mo level in Google Adsense revenue in just a few months. Is it overnight? NO. That's why you'd better pick something you're passionate about, because you're going to get sick of it pretty quick otherwise.

This is not meant to be a comprehensive guide to making money blogging. It's meant to give you the overview. For a complete guide to doing this, you can snag a copy of my online guide to making money as a blogger by going to:

This is a follow up to my previous post concerning keyword research and niche selection. In that post, I discussed how to do keyword research and find market opportunities on the Internet. It is well known that once you have selected a niche, built a web site, optimized it for the search engines, and added some content, that you cannot just sit back and relax. The importance of keeping live, fresh, and up to date content on your site on an ongoing basis is talked about ad nauseum in various Internet marketing circles. I wanted to provide a real life case study about this situation.
