There’s a confusion among the masses with this elusive topic, the Process of Making Money Online. “How on earth do you make money online?”.
Well similar to the offline world we live in, there’s SO MANY ways to make money online,
like affiliate marketing websites, selling on eBay or amazon, your own online store, etc. So answering this question is not always easy.
Really, asking that question is equivalent to asking “how do I make money?” because of the multiple avenues to take. So, if you give me a few minutes of your time I will explain to you the process, exactly how it works and what the building blocks of success online starts with. Sound like a deal?
Ok, AWESOME!
Firstly, would you build a house without a foundation? I would certainly hope not. I do not imagine that it would be very stable at all.
First Step – A Website – Your Foundation To Online Success
If you want to be a success and start making money online, you need to have a WEBSITE of your own. Plain and simple, it’s your bread and butter, your FOUNDATION. Search around online and you will see that on average 50% of start-up business’ fail within the first 5 years. There’s a multitude of reasons. Why start an online business with out a website? You would be shooting yourself in the foot. You can not go around spamming all the social media sites. You will sink before you even get a chance to swim. You NEED a WEBSITE.
A website is equivalent to a foundation for building upon. Whether or not you build a mighty house or a gigantic skyscraper; it boils down to your foundation. I do not recall any free standing sky scrappers being built with out a foundation. Its usually rooted several stories beneath the earth. Your online business is by no means any different. A website will be your FOUNDATION.
I have a set of role models in the online world whom I look up to. The guys who started WealthyAffiliate.com believe in “no mud huts”. What they mean essentially is do not build anything of low quality or no foundation (Precisely a “Mud Hut”) because it can easily collapse. You want to have your website as a solid FOUNDATION, thus allowing you to build the ultimate virtual skyscraper.
Like my role models I want to teach people how to build skyscrapers! Yes, that’s plural alright. Start with one and move on to building several. Look at the 3 little pigs! I’m not exactly one for building something that can easily blow away with a stiff wind. A long term business model, will have you building a substantial foundation and you will be VERY SUCCESSFUL online.
Second Step – Content – Your Virtual Structure Built On Your Foundation
OK, so you have your foundation in place, what happens next? When do you start making money online? I thought you’d never ask! Content. Creating content is going to be contingent factor of getting traffic to your site (through SEO), giving you an opportunity to build relationships with your visitors (which leads to making money online aka revenue), and establish your brand (which leads to along term business).
As I’m sure you have done your fair share of surfing on the web. Content is a multitude of things like, text, blogs, dialogues, comments on your content, audio, video and visual representations. Search engines and people have something in common, they like websites that are RICH in CONTENT.
Build a quality virtual house and the buyers will be knocking at your door.
Third Step – Traffic – Putting Your Virtual Skyscraper On A Busy Street
You have your FOUNDATION and you have built your skyscraper for success. What you need now is to have your site seen by the world. This is what we call website traffic. How do we get people to come to our newly developed skyscraper? We want to start making money online, right? There are many ways this can be achieved, with content being first and foremost.
- Writing more content
- Creating Videos/Audio
- Ratings within Google (which derives from content)
- Paid Traffic
- Ad Buys

Again your willingness to learn more and more will only yield more opportunity. Have a big dreams.
