I get loads of folks asking me “I want to make money but how do I do it?” and my response is always the same - “Do you just ‘think’ you want to make money or do you REALLY want to make money?” …and yes, there is a difference.

You see most people ‘think’ they want to make some money but when it really gets down to actually doing what it is they need to really do to get the financial rewards which they thought they wanted, their ‘want’ for the money isn’t as strong. What people should be saying is - I want to make money and I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to get it!” (of course within legal, moral and ethical grounds). It’s the ‘do whatever takes’ commitment that will define you from the huge masses that just ‘want’ money.

So, assuming you have the ‘whatever it takes’ factor, what can you do to start making some money fast? How do you really get the money coming in quickly?

Let’s address one myth up front right now. There are many people proclaiming the virtues of the internet as a way to make big money quickly “I put a website up with my XYZ wonder product and I was a millionaire by 4pm!”. Well I will tell you that simply does not happen. Even the individuals that claim incredible results in a very short time, and can apparently prove it, are not telling you the whole story - much more likely is they spent months building, developing and testing their product launch; they probably spent months building their contact base to have huge amounts of business partners to help launch the product; they more than likely spent months working on the promotion and PR rollout ready for the big day they launch, and then when it all comes together in one big bang, they have the audacity to say “aren’t we great in what we created in a single day”. Start recognising there is always more to a story than you are often told and in my experience rags-to-riches stories very rarely happens. Our own personal rags-to-riches story took almost 2 years of massive, ongoing, consistent flippin’ hard work.

But, even though the overnight-success-story happens very infrequently, there still IS money to be made with your own internet business, if you know what to look for and what to focus on.

If you want to make money right now, and need to make it fast, it is very possible and you can earn certainly a few hundred dollars a day (refer to our recommendations).

If you are looking to develop a longer-term bigger business, you will need to start developing your own website presence, and in turn start developing your own products to sell. With your own web site, selling your own products, the financial rewards are clearly much bigger than simply selling someone else’s perhaps as an affiliate. It takes more effort, more learning, and more resources but the rewards in the end over the long-term are there.

In conclusion realise there are things you can do to make money quickly using your computer from home, but choose them wisely; don’t believe all they tell you on their colour-filled big headlined websites - take advice on what opportunities work, and which ones are the best. Then, when you pick one, you will know your time, effort and energy is invested wisely.

We’ve been there - when you need to make money fast now, and quickly have it coming in. When the pressure is on and the need to make some money quickly is required, we often don’t make our best decisions. Under pressure; through panic or desperation; through necessity - whatever has brought someone to the point that they need to make money fast, it can often cloud judgement and force us to grab at the first thing that seems to present itself in some way as a possible solution.

We’ve personally been in that position; we’ve been at a place where we needed to make some money fast.

Here’s 3 ways that we discovered that can work for you…

1. Affiliate Marketing - don’t be confused or intimidated by this term; it’s simply the case of identifying a product you think there may be a demand for, ascertaining if they have an affiliate program (a commission payout) for that product, then figuring out how to get people to buy that product through your unique affiliate ID number or code. Then, every time someone does, you earn a commission.

Many large, high profile companies now run affiliate marketing programmes - Ebay, Amazon, etc - and any business you send them through your affiliate ID number will earn you a commission. And yes, to solve your issue now regarding can you make money fast with Affiliate marketing - yes you can. Many affiliate programmes pay out either fortnightly or even weekly, so you could be earning some healthy commissions pretty quickly.

The question that was on our mind when we looked at this, and it’s probably on yours, is how do we get people to buy the products we want to promote through our affiliate ID? The good news is that many companies who run these affiliate programmes also have a whole support system in place to give you great ideas, help, information and support to show you ways to ‘promote’ your Affiliate ID to the world, and in doing so, earn yourself commissions.

2. Taking Surveys - we had heard a lot about ‘taking surveys’ as a way to make money fast now; some of what we had heard was really good, but sadly some not so good. So rather than take other’s opinions we decided to join some of the most popular survey companies and see what they offered, and whether their promises stacked up in their ability to make money fast.

On the whole, ‘taking surveys’ to earn money does actually work, and certainly CAN earn you a reasonable income each day very quickly, though we did discover there is a huge difference between what each of the survey companies offer, and yep there are clearly good and bad ones.

If you are the type of person who enjoys data entry or form filling, then you will love making money from surveys. If you’re not, then we have to warn you that it’s likely you will find it somewhat boring, though taking surveys can clearly get the money coming in quickly, and so if that’s your goal this is clearly a serious option IF you pick the right company.

3. Doing Freelance Work - If you can write, design, programme, are artistic, creative, can motivate or inspire, then there are loads of opportunities for you out there right now. One of the fastest growing sectors is the freelance market.

Simply put; more and more companies, small businesses and individuals are finding they need someone who they can employ on a freelance basis (so not formally employed) to do some work for them. So a whole industry has emerged of primarily home-based freelance workers who offer their services to freelance agencies who have a database of clients with work projects that they need someone to help them with.

And you will be amazed at how many people will want your services. If the idea of working from the comfort of your own home, working the hours that suits you, and yet still having the ability to earn good money quickly, then you need to consider becoming a freelance worker. Again, rather like survey work, there are good and bad companies out there acting as freelance agencies, sadly of which many don’t deliver what they say. But if you find the right company to work with, you certainly can earn a very healthy income as a freelancer.

A lot of people have found personal satisfaction by taking back control of their lives and going into business for themselves; many also find that with a little work, they are also bringing in a bigger income than they did from their day job! The question you have to ask yourself is whether you are ready to take the plunge yourself and do it too.

If you are considering a home based business, you will find that you will want to make sure that you are looking online. When you go online, you will find that there are plenty of different options and that you will be able to very quickly and very easily locate the top 10 home businesses out there.

Take some time to think about the best home based business. In all reality, you’ll find that there are no such things as the best home based businesses out there, only the best home business for you. When you are looking to make some cash in this fashion, think about your strengths.

Are you someone who loves talking to people? Could you talk on the phone or in person for hours? Maybe you are someone who excels when it comes to encounters online instead; maybe you have a real knack for communicating through a video or a website.

In any case, you’ll find that if you want to find the best home based businesses that you need to think about making sure that you are playing to your strengths. The better you are something naturally, the easier it will be.

You’ll also want to check out reviews of any opportunity you are considering. Have a look at all of the opportunities which appeal to you and find out what other people are saying about them - these reviews area great resource, so be sure to take advantage of them. If you are unsure you are making the right choice, decide how much time you will give this opportunity and how much work you are willing to put into it. This way, you can try out an opportunity and decide if it will really be right for you.

When you want to make sure that you are making the right choice, tell yourself how long you plan to give yourself and how much work you are going to put in. This will elt you give an opportunity a try before you drop it.

All for now.  Kind regards,

Improving your copywriting is a key factor in increasing your websites sales conversions. Ideally you want to use proven techniques that will grab the readers attention and persuade them to buy your product.

The good news is there’s a “super” easy and extremely simple way of doing this… add testimonials to your website.

People respond well to what other people say about a product.

This kind of credibility is essential because the person giving the testimonial purchased the product and obviously got a benefit from it. Plus that person is not being paid to say they liked the product or to talk the product up.

Testimonials add validity to your offer and in turn increase sales conversions…

They give your offer that “personal touch” that you simply could not do by yourself.

People will rarely say they like something if they don’t, so this makes testimonials extremely believable.

When you use testimonials on your website be sure to include a name, location and possibly their website address because this helps to make your testimonials more believable.

Getting testimonials is easy when you know how.

Here are 2 quick ways you can begin collecting testimonials right away…

1. Send an email to your customers and ask them for a testimonial.

2. Set up an autoresponder your customers are automatically subscribed to where you ask for a testimonial.

Here’s how you can put testimonial requests on autopilot…

Add messages to your customer autoresponder that help them consume your product, then after a few weeks ask them for a testimonial.

If you’re just starting out you may not have any testimonials just yet. Whatever you do do not make them up! Falsifying testimonials is a bad idea. What you should do instead is to wait until you get feedback and then add it to your copy as soon as you can. The sooner you can increase your website sales conversions through the use of testimonials the better.

Ideally your testimonials need to say one (or all) of these 3 things:

1. Highlight specific benefits gained from using your product
2. Specific results gained from using your product
3. The experience gained from doing business with you

Testimonials can be highly effective if you choose the right ones. Don’t just settle for anything, just to get testimonials on your copy.

It’s far better to wait for the ones that will be effective and help with your website sales conversions instead of just using whatever you can find.

The best places to add your testimonials are at the top of your website near your headline, in the middle of your page, at the bottom of the page and on your order page.

Testimonials work on the same basis as word of mouth advertising. Word of mouth advertising works well because of that trust factor.

All the experts agree that people are more likely to listen and respond to what a typical customer has to say about your product then anything you have to say.

Here’s how to “turbo-charge” the power of your testimonials (and your sales conversions)…

simply include a picture of the person who wrote it. This works extremely well because it adds to the believability of the testimonial.

The bottom line is this… testimonials can and do “significantly” boost your website sales conversions.
