In a previous blog post I discussed the four main strategies you could use to make money online. In this post I will discuss the ten key elements you need to successfully make money Online. The ten key elements to successfully make money online are:

1. Demand

2. Target Market

3. Personal Branding

4.Generating Traffic

5. List Building

6. Conversions

7. Affiliates

8. Recurring Revenue Stream

9. Multiple Streams of Income

10. Joint Ventures

In order for you to make money online, you need to be marketing something that is in demand. If you try to sell something that is not in demand, then you will end up making little to no money.

You need to have a target market as well. Your target market could be broad or narrow. A broad target market could include people looking to start a home based business or making extra money from home. A smaller nich could include stay at home moms, professionals and network marketers.

Personal branding is also important because people are not just buying the product. They are actually buying you. You want to present yourself and your website in a way so that people will want to do business with you as opposed to someone else. Of course you can market a company replicated website, but you will not stand out from the crowd if you do it that way. You want to also include a selling proposition.

Generating traffic is very critical and one of your biggest obstacles as an online marketer. There are many ways that you can generate traffic, but you can get overwhelmed with all the methods that you could use to generate it. You need to start out with a couple of methods until you have mastered them.

Once you have been able to generate traffic to your website, you will need a way to capture your visitor’s information including name, email address and phone #. You should offer a free gift such as training. You will want to do that with an autoresponder like AWeber so that you can automatically follow up with them promoting multiple educational low-cost products.

You will also need to work on improving your conversion rate. You will convert a certain percentage of Traffic to Leads and then a certain percentage of Leads to paying customers. At first you might convert at a 10% rate. So you would convert 10 out of every 100 visitors. As you get better, you could increase your conversion rate to 20% meaning you will double your conversion to 20 out of 100 visitors. With a higher conversion, you will make more money putting in the same amount of effort.

You might decide to create a new product that you can sell to people and make money. You can recruit affiliates to market and sell your product if you end up creating your own product.

You will want to have products with a recurring revenue stream so you will not have to keep working as hard to recruit new people. In addition you will also want to have multiple streams of income. you can promote multiple streams of income by promoting products through an auto responder and marketing system.

Furthermore, joint ventures can be created so that you can market and sell each other’s products and share each others databases.

By following these 10 steps, you will have success with making money online from home.

I recently watched Conquer the Internet DVD and would like to write a review about it. Conquer the internet is about people like you and I who are making a full-time income from home using the power of the internet. All of those people come from all walks of life including college drop outs, MBAs, business and real estate professionals, etc. All of those people have the determination to make a difference in their financial situation and have taken the steps to make the changes necessary to have success making money on the internet from the comfort of their own home.

Financial reasons are not the only reasons why people decide to work online from home. Some of the other reasons why people from home include time freedom. Working from home gives you the freedom to spend more time with your family, go on vacation when you want to and work when you want to. You might think that working from home on the internet will give you those freedoms immediately. However, most people never make enough money to walk away from their day job. This is because they do not have the skills they need to conquer the internet and make money online.

Conquer the Internet DVD goes over some of the main strategies you can use to make money on the internet. The first strategy is to create your own product and sell it. This strategy is not the best strategy for someone who is new to making money online. This strategy usually requires a lot of up front capital and months of research and development.

The second strategy is to sell products on sites such as Ebay. Not many people make money with this strategy since it requires you to buy a product and then try to make money selling it. Most of those sites like Ebay charge money to sell your products and end up eating away your income. There are very few people who make a full-time income on Ebay.

The third strategy is Affiliate Marketing which is a great way to make money online if you don’t have a lot of money to spend. Most of the affiliate programs such as Aweber and Host Gator are free to join. You get paid when someone clicks on your affiliate link and then buys the product. The best way for you to have success with affiliate marketing is to set up your own website, generate traffic and build a list of visitors that visit your website.

The final online strategy is Network Marketing. Network marketing is not about chasing friends and family and having hotel meetings. It is about building an organization and making a monthly residual income from the people you recruit. You also make an income from the efforts of the people you recruit as well. You can have an organization of 1000+ distributors and you can make money even if you don’t put time into it. But getting to that point can take months work. It requires time and personal effort.

The DVD goes over 10 elements that you need to have success making money online from home. I will talk about those elements in a later blog post. In the mean time, you can learn how to Conquer the Internet by visiting Conquer the Internet today.

Online Affiliate Marketing is a great way to fund your primary business and pay for your monthly autoship costs. Most people, when they join a network marketing company, don’t take advantage of online affiliate marketing and end up leaving money on the table every month. Instead, they are told by their upline to make a list of their warm market, which includes friends and family members and convince them to join the business opportunity.

This takes a lot of time and and is not very effective since only a small percentage of those people join their opportunity. Of that small percentage that join, most of them usually quit within 90 days. People will eventually run out of friends and family members to talk to. They are then told to buy and cold call leads which are very expensive and take up a lot of time to call. Most of those leads are not interested in starting a home business and are therefore a waste of money and time.

With online affiliate marketing you are able to fund the cost of your network marketing business, including your auto ship and advertising, by marketing low-cost affiliate marketing tools and products. These products usually are $50 or less and provide value to people. This can be done by driving traffic to a website and providing an offer for people to opt in to an auto responder for more information.

When visitors opt in, their information is captured and they receive follow up emails with valuable free to low cost information, training and products. You can set up the follow up emails in a way that you will build relationships with those prospects so that they will want to buy from you. People will buy those products since they provide a lot of information and value. This will provide income for you which will cover your auto ship and other network marketing business expenses.

Over time, people will start to see you as a leader and will be more likely to buy from you since they want to do business with leaders. Once people start to see you as a leader, they will want to join your network marketing opportunity, which is your back-end product.

Online affiliate marketing is a great way to fund your primary business, build relationships and position you as a leader. By doing this, you will set yourself up for success in your network marketing business since you will only have people who are serious join your primary business opportunity.

In network marketing, building trust with your prospects is very critical for your success in the industry. As a network marketer, you are in the business of making sales. If your prospects don’t have trust in you, you will not make any sales. You are probably wondering what steps you need to take in order to build trust with your prospects so that they will want to buy from you.

Since you are in the network marketing industry, you need to talk to people to build relationships of trust with them. The conversations that you initiate with someone eventually turns into relationships of trust which then leads to making a sale.

Of course you will need a way to turn complete strangers into friends and friends into customers or distributors. This is called your sales cycle. In your sales cycle, there are 6 components that you should follow.

1. Create Product or Service Awareness

You can create product or service awareness in many ways. You could blog or write an article about it. You can also do a Youtube video if you are comfortable getting in front of a camera. You will want to talk about your experiences and frustrations and how you found a solution to solve those issues.

2. Provide value and solutions by showcasing you knowledge for free.

To provide value, you can make a video or write an article that will send people to your website or blog. On your blog, people could sign up for a free five-day training course for example.

3. Continue to give value but offer something to your prospect that costs money.

Although it is nice to offer information for free, you should offer your prospects a low cost item for them to buy. This should be something that costs $50 or less and that is worth 10 times the value.

4. Over deliver on the low cost purchase by inviting them to something special

One way to over deliver is to provide private team training which you could do through live video or skype. This should be done on a weekly basis. If you are new and your sponsor already has something like that, then you should mention that in your ads and invite your downline to the meetings.

5. Offer your customer a higher priced Item.

This is where you introduce your customer to your primary business. This item requires more time commitment and dedication. Remember that you should only invite those who are serious about growing the business.

6. Rinse and Repeat Daily

You need to evaluate where your network marketing business is heading and make adjustments as necessary. Find out what is working and what is not working. Continue to do the things that are working for you and discontinue doing things that are not working for you.  Find out what areas in your business need improvement and take steps to improve in those areas.

As a network marketer, you will need to constantly be doing this. You need to be prospecting and meeting new people on a daily basis. Remember that most of your prospects will not buy from you or join your primary business right away since they are not ready to buy or just don’t trust you YET. But when they are ready to buy and they do trust you, you will start making sales.
