See The Best Way To Make Money OnIine In 2023

Hey guys,

I know what you see in the title above is a bold statement but trust me when I tell you it is the exact program that allowed me to build two websites that make me money every day!

I want to encourage you to read this until the end as this is what can change the way you live your life and make that sea change you are looking for.

You see, I spent years in an office cubicle working 9 to 5 (or longer) and hated it.  I was sick of working for someone else and I had worked my career to the point that I had painted myself into a corner – both in terms of skill set and earning capacity. I just couldn’t see a way to change my situation.

Paul Nic MTS

I was always jealous when I heard people say that they made a living doing what they love and whilst I knew I wanted to do my own thing, the trouble was that I just didn’t know where to even start.

It got to the point (with some ‘productive' words from my amazing wife) where I had two choices:

  1. Just keep doing what I was doing and be happy with my current life…   or….
  2. Take the opportunity (chance) to change things and live a life that I want to

During this time, I had got interested in online marketing and decided to take the opportunity to make a change – i.e. option 2.

I then tried various “done for you programs”, make-money-online products and even Multi Level Marketing.   After being scammed and with several failures under my belt and I was frustrated.

But I wanted to change things so I decided to try something new.  It was with that one last try that I found Wealthy Affiliate that ended up being my saviour and taught me  – and a few others as you can see below –  a 4 step process to sell products online.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

I want to explain to you the basis for it all, which is affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is the process in which you, as a marketer, refer customers to websites where they can purchase products based on your recommendations. The website that takes the sale then pays you a commission for the referral sale.

It sounds simple, and in general, it is – as I will outline with my 4 steps below – however, let me just take you on a little reality check – one that I had to realise myself…  This is no get rich quick process.

Becoming successful as an affiliate marketer takes time, patience and a lot of hard work.  I mean I was used to terms such as ‘return on investment' and ‘time is money' so I wanted to be on the fast train to riches.  And in time, if you stick at it, your ROI will be right where it should be – but in the short term it would be remiss of me not to be clear here that most affiliate marketers take at least 12 months to start making anywhere near a decent enough income to survive on.

I don’t tell you this to scare you, rather to make sure you understand what it is you are up for from the beginning. It is a lot easier to ‘maintain the rage’ so to speak if your expectations are where they need to be from the start. So, in keeping with the simplistic view of it all we will run through it from the four step process below.

What are the Four Steps?

Here it is – the four step process I have been talking about:

In short, this means that with Wealthy Affiliate, you will:

  1. Learn how to find profitable niches
  2. Learn how to build a website (within their inbuilt WordPress editor)
  3. Learn how to attract free traffic
  4. Learn how to earn passive income from your site

Let's elaborate on this…

Step 1 – Choose an interest

In short, step one is all about deciding what it is that you are going to build your online business around.  They beauty here is that it can be about anything! Don't believe me? Do a search online for a subject, any subject – there is information everywhere.

This means that you can choose what makes you happy – your passion.  Is it dogs, camping, scrapbooking, CBD oil, Beer brewing, golfing, yoga, the stock market, politics or making money online?  All you need to consider is if it is something that you you are an expert in, know about or, as we have said, have a passion for.

Whatever it is that you choose, keep in mind that you will be working with this for a few months before you start to see even a little cash.  So if it is something that you aren't really interested in, then this will become a chore (and might make you wonder why you didn't just stay at your desk).

Step 2 – Build a Website

We are using the term ‘build a website' here as it is the most common means of affiliate marketing, but you could chose to create a YouTube Channel, Social Media account, Podcast list or all four.

Why, simply because this is your vehicle to convincing a person to purchase via your website.  Take a step back and have a think about what makes you search for things online?

  • Is it to see what product can do what you need done?
  • Is it to compare a number of products and see which is best?
  • Is it to see how to do something?
  • Is it to find out why things work the  way that they do?

Can you see a pattern?  These are all problems that need to be solved.  These are what you need a website for. Let's use an example to pull steps one and two together:

Say your passion is coffee and you wanted to assist people in opening a cafe.  As an example you would use your website to write a post about which coffee machine is best for professional use.  You would review three or four machines within your post and then make a recommendation with a link on your page.   Readers can then purchase their own coffee makers directly from the vendors based on your recommendations.

Potential or new cafe owners with the problem of not knowing which machine is going to work best for them, will do a search online, find your website and make the purchase based on your recommendation.  You then get paid in the form of a commission (which is actually Step 4 below).

Step 3 – Attract Visitors

So why does the above take time? Because sadly, new websites just don't show up on search engines overnight.  It is probably an obvious statement but attracting visitors to your website is the most important aspect of it all. After all, if they cannot find your website, or do not know it exists, then how can they click on a link and find you.

Have another  think about how you behave you want to buy something online. What do you search for? Where do you look? If you are like most people, you will do a search in Google or Bing or another search engine. Then ask yourself how many pages deep you go when you look at your search results – 1 page, maybe 2? And there it is, that is what we mean by being able to attract visitors – ranking.  The higher you rank, the higher the chance that someone will find your site online.

You will need to rank your site by:

  • Writing quality content
  • SEO
  • Promotion

These are not difficult tasks on their own, but again, they take consistent work and time…

Step 4 – Earn Revenue

We have pretty much covered this to here but the point remains the same.  Once you have chosen your subject, built your website and attracted traffic, then the last thing to do is monetise it.  There are over 50 ways that this can be done, mainly via affiliate marketing as we have discussed, but there are certainly others as well.  With a good solid website, this is all possible.
