How to Make Money Online for Beginners

I like to send traffic elsewhere. Love it in fact. I have no idea how many requests for link exchanges I get every week - more than I can keep track of. The thing is link exchanges are crap - or should I say the sites asking for a link are mostly crap. Too bad. If you want a link then write something worthy of getting noticed.

A few examples;

Carla wrote a hub a little while back that I have meant to acknowledge but haven't got around too until now. (Sorry Carla - please forgive) Aside from showcasing Carla's extreme talent as a writer this post is the B all and End all for anyone wanting to know how to use hubpages to its full advantage. Beginners - that means you! It's called How to Make Money Writing on Hubpages Everyone trying to make a living online should read this - downright excellent.

In the same vein, if you are going to target a niche (meaning keywords) then learn the art of writing long posts full of great content (for the readers) while laser targeting your keywords (for the search engines). The following post by Dave aka Mr. Dirty Boots is as good as I have seen anyone pull it off. Take a full pot of coffee with you - Dave's fingers were on fire for this Make Money Online post. Read it - he pretty much sums up 3 years of my posts in a single article - brilliant.

If you are a beginner just starting out online those two posts should be required reading - take my advice and study what they say. Btw - they didn't ask for links but they deserve them.

On a lighter note Terry wrote a post mocking the make money online niche which just happens to show you folks how to get yourself a number 1 ranking keyword in short order. Now his keyword may not get much traffic from the MMO crowd but it might lead to some decent traffic from the Spanish food connoisseurs. Lol Make Paella Online

And finally Lissie is on another mission to save beginners from wasting money on yet another A-List "noobs can be sold anything" program. This time she has set her sights on CopyBlogger's regurgitated Teaching Sells membership program. I could tell you why Brian Clark is just as much a waste of time as his buddy Yaro Starak but Lissie really enjoys putting the boots to the A-List so I'll let her have her fun. (Check out the comments - Clark shows up but doesn't have the class Darren Rowse showed on Al's Interview with Darren Rowse.)

Btw - I have been spying on the forum over at the Keyword Academy. For the handful of you that haven't joined yet I suggest you make your way over there. The forum is a busy place and no - no one is selling anything. Just a bunch of people helping each other out and making good progress as budding Internet Marketers. Spend a buck and find out yourself - it's the best place a beginner could start online.

And yes I have a tee off shortly...

Cheers
