HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT?: MAKE MONEY ONLINE.

Most times we see ads on the internet asking the question "DO YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE? ", whereas the real question shouldn't be "DO YOU?", but should be "HOW BAD DO YOU WANT SUCCESS FROM WORKING ONLINE?".
In truth everyone would love to make a little extra cash from surfing the internet, especially if they spend alot of time browsing the web. Here's one fact about everyone being able to do the same thing, it brings into perspective the darwinism concept of "survival of the fitest", only the strong survive (that is those people who wants success so bad, they can taste it).
The question thus is not "do you want to survive?" Or in this case, do you want to make money online? But how bad do you want it?

Making money online is easy and everyone can do it. Yes, that is true, theoretically that is, practically though, it takes alot of effort on ones part;

1. Carrying out the necessary research.
2. The commitment of investing time and money; you should be prepared to spend some money and a great deal of time on your online business, monitoring, advertising, promoting or investing in it, think of it as capital to your profit. (lets face it, the biggest online earners did not make it big from free work online schemes or businesses and most definitely invested a lot of time plus cash in the building, promoting and development of their online businesses )
N:B it is usually advisable to start off with something cheap or free, to gain experience on the online business workings and also raise capital for more profitable business projects.
3. Willingness to take risks; Before joining any online program, usually we must evalute, different people take in different factors into consideration. That final decision to sign-up or join whichever program summarizes the risk we take, as no matter how rewarding or fulfiling the ads may promise a program to be, there's always the risk of probable loss (lots of people have unpleasant stories to tell about their losses on the internet).

Considering the above factors the question still remains, "how bad do you want to succeed?"
The answer to this question, though relative it might be can be generally summarized as "SO DAMN BAD." as everyone wants to succeed and if asked individually how badly, i could go out on a limb and say everyone would be pretty adamant about the extent they would go to succeed.
"WHY THEN DO PEOPLE FAIL STILL?", I've asked myself this question alot of times and have finally summarized that if asked like i stated earlier, everyone would love to succeed, that would be their overall answer, but not everyone would carry out actions that lead towards succeeding.
That is; researching, committing and taking risks. That's what separates the winners from the losers mostly.
This brings us to another question, "ARE YOU A WINNER OR A LOSER?"
Can you take the steps that lead to success?
This question transcends just working on the internet into real-life situations as the internet is made up of real life individuals surfing through space for data (in this case profitable data), with determination, dedication and risk taking being the primary determinants of success or failure.

WHERE THE HELL IS MY TRAFFIC!

Forgive the title of this post, but considering what it's about and the number of persons (millions of who) i'm quite sure are asking the same question everyday, i figured it's kind of an appropraite one. Its been about three weeks since i started this blog, and its been a great getaway for me, sharing ideas, thoughts and passions. But then again it only makes a difference when you check on your sites statistics to see that you've been getting visitors. Right now i get an average hits of about 20 persons daily which for a pretty young blog isn't all that bad, (my first experience blogging was far worse). But there's always that feeling of better expectations, the want for more, probably a hundred hits daily might be okay, two hundred maybe? The thing is everyone hopes for a great result or turnout for his hardwork, so after writing a great post, taking the time and extra effort just to make it perfect for your audience, you upload it and expect to see a great statistics about your post view, but shockingly it's just a handful of readers. It's just like renting a 2000 sitter conference hall for just an audience of 20. It's a waste and dissapointment *don't you agree?*.

First i identified the problem (which is my lack of traffic) and
naturally, went about trying to  discover a solution.
Here's a tip on how i did that.

Ask questions from more experienced bloggers,* best way to do that is to join a blogging forum or search out articles or blog posts relating to your problem and leave comments.*

After all my research and all the advice i got from different great people, three suggestion always kept coming up, so i want to share that with you guys. Hope it helps.

THINGS YOU SHOULD DO TO GET YOUR TRAFFIC RATINGS UP!

Guest Posting; this suggestion came up at almost all articles and blog posts i read.
Writing a great post for a more popular blog than yours, and of course inserting your own blog link somewhere in the post so readers of the blog you are guest posting on could then check out your own blog.

SEO; of course being able to manipulate the search engines robots to feature your blog post as one it's top search results of searches relevant to your blog topic does alot for your blog stats, as there's no telling the number of people interested in the information you are delivering in your blogpost.

Promoting your blog; paying for listings on popular websites and blog directories, integrating your blog with social media networks such as google+, facebook, twitter, writing good and audience engaging posts.

Post comments, if you've got questions or contributions

Advertising Your Website Link.

Having a Website, blog, splash page, an affiliate link or even a forum post or an article on the internet is almost the same thing as creating a new product or idea in real life.
You want people to see it, patronize it, get it's meaning, it's significance, you want to reach out to a crowd of alike or similar people like yourself, a target audience you want, which are more than likely to understand you and your product and probably patronize your idea or product.
This is a great dream which can only be actualized by you making your idea or product known to the public (advertising). Just hosting a website online or posting a blog post and hoping for people to somehow come across it is not just enough.
It takes alot of hardwork and great advertising strategies to get people interested in you and what you are selling.
In real life, a salesman's appearance and composure is usually what gets him noticed, his pitch and how convincing he sounds is what gets him sales. The same logic applies to websites, but here we are more concerned with getting your site noticed.

The first step in generating people's interest in your site is "advertising" and just like the salesman, the number of interest generated by your site ads starts with its appearance. It's theme, text structure, graphics quality, it's design.
A catchy or trending theme usually piques or attracts curiosity from an audience and curiosity i've heard is one of the hardest feeling to deny.
Now there are numerous means of advertising your website, with some more cheaper than others while some more effective (would get back to this later)

The second step is maintaining your audience's interest long enough for them to get the information you are trying to deliver about your product. A good and well organized interactive website design can help you accomplish this.

Another method of redirecting traffic to your site is via search engines optimization popularly referred to as "SEO". There are lots of searches carried out daily on search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo and a lot more. Having your site listed among the search results of searches related to your area of expertise or services could have your website receiving a buttload of traffic. Manipulating SEO is a field that requires some level of experience on how the internet works, understanding web languages, and a willingness to explore and research keywords relevant to your sites and searches made on search engines and how they could be manipulated to get you listed among the top search results.

Means of advertising includes; banners, text ads,safelists, traffic exchange sites, ptc sites, social media networks, website directories, classified board sites and so on.

A research on advertising mediums should be carried out before engaging one and a budget prepared tailored to suit your advertising needs.

HOW TO EARN AS AN SFI AFFILIATE

   Every affiliate knows that to earn money as an affiliate, you have to promote actively your affiliate program and build a healthy and sizeable downline. SFI is no different from other affiliate programs when it comes to this, but SFI makes it a bit easier to acquire a downline without too much effort on your part.

   The first thing to do after signing up as an SFI affiliate is to take note of your refferal link, which is the link to your personal domain on the SFI website, it is this link that you have to promote, as any sign-up registered from it is credited to you and the new affiliate placed in your downline.
   In order to start building your downline, advertise your link and invite people to sign up for the program through your link. Traffic exchange programs, safelists, ptc sites, forums, social media sites and classified boards sites are free ways of advertising your link. Also blogs and article submission sites are great tools for those who are creative writers, you can insert your link at the end of each article, website owners can also download an SFI banner code with their links written in and add SFI banners to their sites.
   The more active downlines you refer the more the potential for earning big as an SFI affiliate.

EARNING MONEY ON SFI

1. Each time an SFI affiliate that you have personally sponsored–OR a tripleclicks member that you have personally referred–places
an order at TripleClicks.com , you earn 45% of the commission value of that product.
SFI's Direct Commission program is
powerful because once you sign up a member or affiliate, they become your customer for life (for as long as they remain active!) You get paid for every order they make* SFI takes care of all order processing, product shipments, and customer service at no cost to you, and pays you a Direct Commission for every order placed by your downlines!*
Special Note: For purchases by personally referred members, you'll ALSO earn all the VP** on the order–which can earn you additional shares of the TripleClicks
Executive Pool depending on your ranking in the affiliate's hierarchy.

Earnings Example: An order is placed by one of your personally referred TC or SFI members that has $23 CV and 1,725 VP.
You earn a $10.35 Direct Commission (45% of $23) and 1,725 shares in the TripleClicks Executive Pool.

2. SFI Pay-Per-Action (SFIPPA) is an
optional, supplemental income program available to all SFI affiliates that allows you to act as an advertiser for SFI and earn supplemental income by getting
others to take actions such as filling out forms.
Each time you generate a qualified SFIPPA action, you earn a bounty. The amount of the bounty varies depending on the action.
Two SFIPPAs are currently available;
A. SFI AFFILIATE SIGN-UPS
Bounty: Up to $12 for each qualified sign-up
B. TC MEMBER SIGN-UPS
Bounty: Up to $5 for each qualified sign-up.

3. The affiliate status of executive affiliate (EA), assigns two co-sponsored affiliates to a valid EA SFI member monthly, and for every order a co-sponsored affiliates makes, you get15% of the commission value.

Earnings Example: An order is placed by one of your co-sponsored SFI affiliates
that has $28 CV. You earn a $4.20 Co-Sponsor Commission (15% of $28).

4.  SFI's TripleClicks Executive Pool provides a simple, easy, and lucrative income stream that all SFI affiliates can tap into every month with just a minimum qualification of executive affiliate (EA).

TripleClicks Executive Pool for our
affiliates to share in!

How to share in the pool:
For each VersaPoint (VP) you accumulate during the month as an EA, you will receive one share of the month's pool. The more VP
you score, the more you will earn from the TripleClicks Executive Pool! It's that simple.

BECOMING AN EXECUTIVE AFFILIATE:
In order to earn more as an SFI affiliate, it is advisable that you attain the status of executive affiliate because of all the extra perks that comes with it.
You could accumulate versa points by completing daily, weekly and monthly affiliate tasks assigned to you by the program, but the easiest means reccommended is to purchase a product with a minimum of 1500 versa points assigned to it, or you can purchase a product with lesser vp and accumulate your task vp to make up the required amount.

SFI AFFILIATE PROGRAM- THE REVIEW.

One of the most popular and prominent affiliate program on the internet is the SFI AFFILIATE PROGRAM. With more than 20 years of online activities and on time commission payments, SFI can be said to be one of the oldest and most consistent affiliate program, with a data base of more than 600,000 affiliates worldwide.
   For the benefit of those who might be interested in becoming an SFI affiliate and also those who recently joined the program and haven't heard from their sponsors, i would try my best to be very elaborate and communicate an understanding of why SFI is such a great program.

  It is common knowledge that "for someone to successfully promote a program or service, a basic understanding of the program and what it entails is required, without which all promotional efforts might yield a less than satisfactory result or even failure."
  
  The Strong Future International popularly referred to as SFI, is a division of Carson Services Inc., which has its headquarters in Lincoln , Nebraska in the United States . The organization was founded in 1985 by popular marketing guru Gery Carson; famous for his business ingenuity and outstanding marketing performances.
   The strong future international is a global affiliate program with over 200 countries accepted worldwide and with a variety of payment options particularly structured to the different global region of all accepted affiliate states.
   Signing up as an SFI affiliate is free and easy, and also comes with a one month free training series once you've been registered and confirmed your account. But becoming a successful SFI affiliate depends solely on you and how determined you're to succeeding.
   SFI is not a get rich quick program or scam, but a brilliantly structured and well calculated program which provides individuals a means of earning a steady reoccurring monthly alternate salary on the internet, with  the amount varying according to the input and hardwork of each individual.

    SFI incoporates two programs to makeup its affiliate program (namely Tripleclicks and Pricebenders auctions).

Tripleclicks is a conglomerate of stores, an internet mega shopping mall containing over 6000 products of a variety of categories ranging from electronics to magazines, games, jewelries and lots more plus SFI's own services and products.
  Triple Clicks also allows a Private Seller Program for SFI members, which allows members to sell their own products (be it ebooks, old furnitures, crafts and art works, whatever) on the tripleclicks shopping site alongside other tripleclicks products for free. This is very similar to the popular EBay listing and it has contributed to the rapid growth of the SFI program .
   Pricebenders, is an auction site where SFI members can bid and win a variety of products at more than 50% less than the retail price.
Though bidding credits (called tcredits) has to be purchased first, reccommended credit pack cost at $29 for 100 tcredits, with bids charged at 1 tcredit per bid.

   SFI takes affiliate marketing to new and interesting level by ranking affiliates due to accomplishments as an SFI affiliate,points called VERSA POINTS (vp) are assigned to every successful product sale and affiliate actions and rankings are made in a hierarchical order based on the monthly accumulation of these points up until a specified mark, starting with the lowest at Affiliate (0-1499 vp) and the highest at Platinum team leader(6000vp or above).
Each rank comes with an added compensation than  just the normal comissions, but the most popular rank is the executive affiliate (EA) which is just a rank above the normal affiliate attained by monthly accumulation of 1500vp, as it is the easiest rank to acheive and maintain without much stress, and has the compensation benefits of
1. 10 tcredits monthly for pricebenders bids or shopping at tripleclicks.
2. Two co-sponsored refferrals monthly.(you earn up to 25% comissions on sales made by your co-sponsored downlines).
3. Monthly shares in the total profits from both pricebenders and tripleclicks.
The catch to these extra compensations is that you have to maintain your EA status monthly to qualify, failure to make EA status would revert you to your default normal affiliate status and you would lose all previously accumulated co-sponsored downlines and eligibility to share in the pricebenders and tripleclicks monthly executive profits pool, tcredits won't be affected.

OMG! I'M JUST TOO FAT !!!

  The thought that usually accompanies the thinking of being  fat, is the planning of strategies for lossing some weight.
   Weight loss can be defined as a reduction of total body mass and can be either intentionally induced or can occur unintentionally due to an underlying disease or illness.
   Although the weight loss we are concerned about here is that which is induced consciously by individuals in an effort to improve on an actual or perceived overweight problem or obese state in an effort to improve fitness and health or to change one's physical appearance.
  Intentionally induced weight loss attempts can be sometimes linked to some psychological implications, as some people who attempt to consciously lose weight only perceive themselves as being fat whereas they are not (anorexia). While some people who actually are fat and attempt to lose weight might get obssessed with their looks and goal of acheiving that perfect shape, that even when they become slim enough they can't shake off the feeling of being fat (bulimia).
   The first step to successfully losing excess weight and maintaining a trim, average or desired figure is to first of all admit to yourself that you have a weight problem, most people even when they are aware of their overweight situation tend to make excuses for being fat.

What most people tend to forget is that being fat isn't originally a problem, it only becomes one when you become uncomfortable with your looks or size or when it starts posing health or other unacceptable risks.

   Thus, if you feel comfortable being fat, my advice to you is to "rock that look" but also keep it moderate and healthy. But if it's becoming a problem the first step is to admit it.

   The next step is to confront the problem and seek healthy options on how to overcome it without overdoing it. It didn't take 6weeks to acquire your weight, so don't be in such a rush to lose it.
   Altough drug supplements and weight loss surgeries aid and catalyse weight loss, why take a shortcut when you can take the scenic route and discover new and interesting things about yourself.
   Losing weight is not just about losing excess fat, it's about developing a set of new and healthy habits which not only help you trim down but also ensures that you maintain a trim figure (these habits can also  be supplemented with drugs but not just relying on drugs as primary options), and could also lead you to a path of discovery about yourself.
You might find out you love aerobics and exercising or the cool morning breeze while jogging in the park, you might find out you enjoy salads and veggies, and there is always the extra joy when on special occasions you decide to treat yourself to something special.
Lastly, be dedicated to seeing it through and consistent after the goal has been accomplished.

Maintain a steady habit and periodically check on your weight reccommended interval of 6months. And if you notice an unacceptable increase in weight don't make a common mistake by saying "i did it before so i can do it again", act on it before it oncemore become a problem.

BECOMING AN AFFILIATE

Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular internet jobs and an affiliate, is a third-party mediator between internet programs and internet surfers. An affiliate can be better described as an internet sales person, as commissions are paid to affiliates when they manage to refer paying customers to the affiliate program which they represent or are promoting. Affiliate programs sometimes also pay their affiliates commissions when they refer other persons to register as affiliates themselves. These commissions are paid either in single tier payments (i.e a certain amount paid only once), or in multi-tier payments (i.e a certain amount for the affiliate's direct refferrals which makes up the 1st tier, and a lesser amount for direct refferrals of the affiliate's 1st tier, which thus makes up the 2nd tier, and so on depending on the refferral tier limit being operated by the affiliate program. Multi-tiered affiliate programs are also called multi level marketing programs popularly referred to as MLM programs. While the the referred persons are called downline.

It's an affiliate's job to promote or advertise the program he's a member of, creating public awareness about the program, goods or services which he's selling amongst his family, friends, neighbourhood, community, state, country, continent, worldwide!, depending on how global the program is. This could be done by word of mouth, posters in public places, handbills, social networks, blogs or webpages, internet ads networks and so on. Before registering for any affiliate program, it is advisable to carry out your own personal researches as to whether or not the program suits your needs in terms of payments (both mode of payment and percentage commissions), your personal skill and capacity, the market demand of the product and mediums available with which to promote it. There are numerous affiliate programs on the internet with various commission rates and benefits. Registering with affiliate networks such as Linkshare, Comissions junction, Shareasale and Clickbank amongst numerous others is a way of sourcing legitimate and paying affiliate programs, or carrying out a personal research via search engines and forum or ranking sites to validate programs which might be of some interest to you.
