A Simple Way To Make Money Online
By Search EzineArticles.com
Most people believe that making money online only involves putting up a website selling a product or service, and then promoting it.
Wrong answer! On many counts, but we'll concentrate on two of them which are closely related:
1) People don't buy products, they buy solutions to their problems...
As a general rule, people don't like the thought that their hard earned money is ending up in somebody else’s pocket. They will figure out if you're only in business to make money out of them and they will NOT buy your products.
But...
If you're genuinely trying to HELP people and happen to make money while you're doing it, they won't mind and will buy from you (and remain lifelong customers).
In order to do that you must have 'empathy' with others. You must understand them, what they fear, what they like and what they dislike.
You MUST make the effort to understand them and when you do you'll find a lot of ways you can help them and make money too.
You might not be interested in developing your own products and services. In that case you will want to align yourself with a company, as an affiliate, that shares this mindset, the attitude of 'helping people' and 'making money'.
2) Promoting a product or website is not easy, but it can be simple...
If it was easy everybody would be making a fortune. The truth is most of the people you put your website or affiliate link in front of will not be interested.
In fact they'll ignore it, some people will go out of their way to ignore it.
Poof! That's you promotion efforts gone up in smoke.
