Ways on spotting an illegal money making website.

“Thanks for visiting my site, my name is Clifford Smith. On this site, I expose the truth about online money making business; and as you read on, I would be showing you my secrets of how I made $1,000,000 while sleeping just applying the technique you would later discover. After going through my site, if you have been depressed by that situation that seems to have kept you in a low income state, you will be glad you found this site; as I will be exposing my secrets which you can use to start earning a six figure every month.”

Now isn’t that a beautiful piece of information. Imagine making that amount of money in three days while sleeping. That really should be the head line news on New York Times or Insider.
But hey man… wake up! … Because that’s a scam!

Yes first they come up with such mouth watering offers like making a thousand buck every month, or having to invest a dollar or two and making about a million dollar profit.

That seems great really, I actually subscribed to some of these programs in the past and boy… you really would love my story.

Well the truth is, they flood the internet with mass replicable websites, containing attractive offers—call them formats if you like, and the question is, how many people will you be asking the question:
“Would you like to earn some money while you sleep?” and would tell you no? Well the answer should seem obvious now. So putting 1 and 2 together, one would know that for as many who would’ve answered yes to that question, would also be subscribing and hence taking part in the program. This of course means big deals for scams, as they would be the one sleeping while they make the money of you.

Take a look at these few examples of money making phrases:

• “ if you have been looking for a great way to make money online, you’ve taking the right step by coming to my website; as I will show you a concise step by step guide in making $10,000 while you sleep”—SCAM!
  

• “Let me show you how I made $1,000,000 by Google Adsense, just follow these principles and you would be on your way to earning a six figure monthly—SCAM!
  

• “I made $20,000 in one month; you too can, by subscribing and ordering your membership details for $49.99 only—SCAM!
  

Their techniques are many, and they convince you into giving up your quest for finding out how legal the website is until you’ve become a victim of yet another scam.

Now to our topic on how to spot an illegal money making website. What’s the meaning of help in the first place? And why would any one decide to help you make money online and then ask you for a fee in return? Well the actual fact of the matter is, a transaction is in progress, and what seem to be transpiring at such time is obviously no longer help… its business!

In our desperate bid to better our lives; having all those things we’ve always dreamt of, we seem to have been blinded by greed and hurriedly forget our sense of reasoning. We’ve sometimes passed through this mirage at one point or another; and occasionally scammed, especially when we speedily subscribe into programs that we know little or nothing about… simply because of an attractive phrase that says: “make $1,000,000 in one month with these step by step guides”

This is not to rule out completely the concepts that making money online isn’t possible if you give it a try, but to say that one could be ruined off if he or she is not well armed with the right information or tools to get a head start. As you would later discover here in this post, there are lots of underground research and other factors to consider when subscribing to money making program.

Making money online from home, Jupiter or wherever is not as easy as most people will make it seem (so my advise to you is that, don’t go quitting your day job so quickly because of some well organized written testimonies by people who don’t even exist, saying how lucky they are to have found a website that has transformed their lives.) Make sure you’ve gotten a hold of it, as this field takes a lot of dedication, understanding, thorough research, clean information and skepticism… yes skepticism.

To succeed in this area and to have a good start into this field, you need to be skeptical in your approach, that way you make minimal errors, and maximize your profits.

Before parting money with any get rich money making website, you might need to put into practice the following tips, as to help you know if those websites that offer such programs are scams.

• Check to see if the site operates an active forum.
  Site forums are places in websites where members of the site discourse on issues regarding the services provided by the site. Observe the topic discoursed; it is only there you will find real testimonies on the legitimacy and truthfulness of the site.

• Check to see if the site runs an active support system.
  This is one very good way to identify an illegal money making website, as none would ever provide an active support system such as live help, a feedback form. In the situation where they do provide these supports, it is however not a clear guarantee that they are legal. Send them a support ticket on some basic request and see if they respond in say two to three days time. You would come to realize that most of these sites don’t respond to support tickets submitted.
  But beware of auto responders too!

• Look for the Authentic Security Certificate of the site.
  This is usually a golden padlock icon situated below, just immediately above the task bar, by the right hand side of the screen. A wobble over this padlock icon would automatically pop up a mini screen which will show details of the security certificate of the site. If this icon is not there, then beware!
  

• Do a thorough search.
  Having the website address handy, do a good search, using any of the search engines like Google. With a word like scam or fraud in front of your search topic, you will get relevant information from users of the site, which will be putting you in a safer side.
  

Bear in mind, if it sounds too attractive to you, hold on to your money first, because it might just be yet another scam, be reluctant and have a good sense of judgment. Having performed the tips above, you would already be on the journey to the safer side in the industry of scams… beware!

How About Investing in Gold Coins, an Excellent Replacement to Stocks and Shares.
Ok first of all it is a coin, not the one the referee officials use in a football match, and of course certainly not the one Peter Parker of Spiderman tips into the phone boothe to call his girlfriend Maryjane. It is a coin, and the best part of it is that, it is gold-a gold coin.

Now how is this piece of metal valuable and yet an enormous investment commodity?
The truth is, for thousands of years, gold has been valued as a global currency, a commodity, an investment and simply an object of beauty. Since its recession into the background in the 80s and 90s due to the rapid development of the financial market, many investors lost interest with this wonderful piece of asset.

But how suprising it has been in recent times, to see a stricking increase in investors interest in gold. Thinking of how this asset within a short period of time, gained a marmoth increase in demand, is clearly a positive factor in this resurgence, and as so the reasons why people and financial institutions arround the world are once again investing in gold.

As defined by experts in the industry, gold is said to be the world's most liquid investment. It is traded throughout the world everyday and infact its market never closes.

A Gold Coin
A gold coin is made mostly or entirely of gold. It is used for coins practically since the invention of coinage, as a result of its gold value. As the world becomes globalised, most gold coins are intended either to be sold to collectors or to be used as bullion coins.

Why Gold?
Gold attracts investors throughout the centuries, protecting their wealth and providing a safe haven in troubled or uncertain times. As the global economy becomes volatile and uncertain, there is typically a quality flight as investors seek to protect their capitals by moving it into assets considered to be safer stores of value. Gold is among a handful of these financial assets and it provides insurance against extreme movements that often occur in the value of traditional assets in unsettled times.

How to invest in gold
Here i would say that investing in gold would solely depend on the requirements and outlook of you the individual investor.
With an increasingly wide range of methods available to investors wanting to buy gold or gain exposure to gold price movement.

If you are thinking about investing in gold coins, it is worth giving the same considerations to your purchase as you would to any other investment.

Considering the following questions will provide a guide to help you decide on the channel that would be most appropriate for you.

. what kind of gold should i buy?
. when should i buy? and most importantly
. where should i buy? This here is simply the most important, since there are lots of gold coins markets on the internet, it gets a bit difficult choosing one internet market that will really suite your needs and give you the best valuable asset your money can buy.

One website i have follwed and indeed recommend for most interested investors is Goldcoinsgain.com

For readers interested in investing in gold, we encourage them to follow the links on this page for specific information about the various gold coins available as gold investment.

Perils of affiliate marketing
While there is serious money to be made in the world of affiliate marketing, it should not be entered into willy-nilly. Just like any other business venture, the proper research should be done so that you know ahead of time how much money, time and effort you can expect to spend before you see a profit. Here is a short list of expectations that people sometimes have wrong about affiliate marketing.

• Just like a good highway, you have got to have traffic. You can be selling the best product in the world, have an attractive website design and have the best content on the Internet and if no one can find your site, you aren’t going to make any money. What to do? You can buy advertising to drive traffic to your site, but that costs money, usually more money then you are taking in. It’s a very fine line to walk; a tightrope that most people fall off of into debt. It is going to take time and experience to learn the proper formula, and you should expect some debt until you figure out the right combination.

• Remember, if you follow the same tips as everyone else, chances are the market is already saturated with sites using the same techniques. This may be the toughest part of affiliate marketing. Trying to figure out exactly the right technique to attract customers to your site and away from 100 other affiliate marketing sites that are selling essentially the same thing. The only real way to handle this is to stick to the basics. Believe in the product you sell, design an attractive site to sell it and write good content to keep people on your site and clicking on the links on your site. If you are patient, this formula, more often then not, will work, but it will take some time.

• Updates, updates updates. Many new affiliate marketers think that all you need is that first shiny, new webpage with original content and then you just leave the page be for the next six months and watch the money roll in. It just doesn’t work that way. You have to be ready to add new content to your page every two weeks at the most. Change the theme on your page to show visitors that you’re updating constantly. If you are coming up on Easter or Thanksgiving, change your site to show this. It’s reassuring to web surfers that they are visiting a page run by someone who is paying attention.

The road towards affiliate marketing success is full of potholes. But it can be navigated with patience and hard work. You may not strike gold right away, but keep digging, the shiny nugget is right around the corner.

Creating multiple streams of income
One of the great things about affiliate marketing is the idea that you can subscribe to as many different affiliate programs as you can manage, all at the same time. We’ve talked in depth in previous articles about how important it is to have some focus on your website so that you can appeal to customers instead of appearing like a hodgepodge of links. It’s a fine line to walk between having multiple streams of income and having too many programs. Let’s take a look at the right way to handle this problem.

• Make sure your streams relate to each other. This is a tip worth a thousand bucks, alone. Think about it for a moment. Yes, you want to have more than one program on your website at once, but you don’t want 10 or 15 because it’s too much to manage. So, what’s the best way to go? Have 4-5 and make them all related to each other! Say your first program is through a company that sells pet supplies. You’ve written some stellar content on pets sine it’s a passion of yours, but you want more than one stream of income. How about a program through a gourmet pet food distributor? You can SHARE CONTENT then, since you already have great content written about pets to begin with. Want more? Find a company that sells pet treats from around the world. Or maybe one that specializes in pet medications through the mail. The choices are endless and by relating all of your companies, you won’t have to write separate content for each program. You’ll save time and make money!

• Have fun with your content. Let’s say you find an affiliate marketing program that you just have to add to your site, but it’s about a topic you don’t know much about. Don’t worry! You can still write interesting and informative content, even if it’s about a product you’re not an expert on. Try a list. Just flip through the TV listings this week and take a look at all the list shows on right now. People love lists. You can make a quickie top-10 list style article and relate it to your new affiliate program. This will allow you to diversify your business and add extra streams of income at the same time. You don’t want your site to be entirely lists, but one out of three or four is fine and it makes your site appear more fun!

Creating multiple steams of income is pretty easy when you look at it. Group your products under the same umbrella to save time or add a program that you can make funny and informative lists on. Your site will benefit and you’ll have happy customers to boot!

The biggest mistakes affiliates make
For those that are new to affiliate marketing, the whole thing can seem too good to be true. A real business from home that make you more then enough money to live on and you don’t even have to bother with products or shipping. Many new affiliate marketers simply jump into the business without properly researching it first and end up frustrated and angry that they aren’t making big time money within the first few days. Here is a quickie guide to common mistakes that affiliate marketers make and how you can avoid them.

• Patience is the key. For even the best affiliate marketers, it takes time to build a customer base. The people that are legitimately making $10,000 a month in affiliate marketing spent years getting to that level, not days or even months. For some that are new to the trade, it seems like that level of success is an overnight thing, but it isn’t. Once you pick an affiliate program, after researching it ahead of time, of course, you need to stick with it. You should change your content on a regular basis, update your site weekly, add in some holiday-themed pages and make sure you stay up to date on product information from your parent company, but the most important thing to do is to simply stay the course. If you jump ship after a month, the chances of your affiliate marketing site taking off are slim to none.

• The second big problem that many affiliate marketers fall prey to is subscribing to too many programs at once. By doing this, it makes it very hard to provide top-level page design and content relating to all of these programs at once. You should only subscribe to two or three programs at once. This will allow you to give these programs your laser-like focus so you can turn them into money makers sooner rather than later. Patience is, again, very important. It may seem like the best way to go is to load up your site with two dozen affiliate marketing sites but there is little chance that will make you any money. If your site is focused, you’ll be in much better shape.

The vast majority of mistakes that new affiliate marketers make are ones out of inexperience. They want to make as much money as possible as quickly as possible. What they don’t realize is slow and steady wins the race. Dedication, hard work and focus are the best friends of affiliate marketers.

Ways on How to Maximise Your Profits

There are lots of ways to market any product and any marketer knows it well. Getting the attention of a potential buyer is not a big deal at all. However, the real problem is to come up with something that makes surfers click through and actually buy something, because this is what puts money in your pocket. In case with affiliates, the only thing you should focus on is to find the top selling products and the best places to advertise them.

So how are you going to do it? Here's how:

1. Check the live stats on the testimonial page. It will help you make your mind about what you want to promote and where.

2. Find ways of putting links in the path of surfers. There are lots of places to promote MoreNiche™ products.

3. Go on the popular chat programs and join the conversation if the topic borders on the things you are trying to sell or start a conversation yourself.

4. Feel free to adapt existing ads or write new ones from scratch if you think the company ads aren’t creative enough, or if you have specific information about your target customers.

5. Put an e-book on your website and invite everybody to download it free of charge since people like freebies and will certainly welcome the chance to become informed without paying anything.

6. Write about your experience and a personal endorsement especially if you’d tried the program itself. People need to know that a product is actually working before they decide to buy it and what kind of benefits they can expect from using it.

7. Maximize your chances by subscribing to more than one affiliate program and list all the links on your website on a directory page.

8. Create your own signature file. Use a spiffy headline that’s bound to grab attention, talk about the product you’re promoting and keep everything simple and to the point.

There are just some of the many ways to advertise your product to reach wider audience on the Internet. All that you need is to feel free to mix and combine promotion techniques to suit your product and your view of how marketing should be done.

If you are looking for more than just another affiliate program, and want to spread your wings further, visit MoreNiche™ and contact their specialists. MoreNiche™ offers wealth creation and resources to get you started.

The Basics of Online Marketing
As an online marketer, you must know the two important things you need to know about affiliate marketing. I assume that you are one of those people who want to make a lot of money without ever having to put on a suit and tie and going to the office. And let’s not deny that we all dreaming of financial independence and be a successful online marketer.

The first thing you need to keep in mind at all times about affiliate marketing is: content rules. You must know how to make your own content and how to come up with quality stuff. Getting surfers to look at your website is not that hard.

Making them read more than a couple of lines is a bit harder. The second most important thing is to gain links that point to your site, which will bounce you up in search engine ratings. Make sure the links are always from web pages that focus on the same topic as the articles they point to, otherwise you are going to lose points with the search engines and that should be avoided at all costs.

Getting It Started:

Pick a niche market, identify some topics and start writing. Get about 10 articles up on your website, get links for every one of them and then keep an eye out and see if people like them or not. Every morning re-read one of the articles and see if your writing style is really crystal clear and if the ideas stand out from the text and are easy to grasp by anyone.

After weeks of doing this re-read your first articles once more. I am perfectly sure that you will be surprised of how poorly written they seem. Feel free to re-write them, or to write new ones that focus on the same topics and solutions, but with a different approach and wording. Don’t strive to be 100% original every time because this is impossible.

In a short while you will notice that your site is getting a lot of attention because of the friendly content. Keep everything simple and make sure your pages can be accessed easily by surfers who don’t land on your main page. Having a website that doesn’t look slick, but has loads of good content tells people that you are a real person and that you aren’t trying to pull anything.

Marketing campaigns, flashing banners and slick ads are nice, but you don’t need them. Just write articles and get links. Then write more articles and get more links. Repeat this until your website becomes a mandatory stop for people who want to be well-informed on the topic you’ve chosen. The links and surfer clicks will give you good ratings and the original content will make you unique.

Write good articles, put in plenty of keywords (don’t use them blatantly), make sure the links to the merchant website stand out and get other websites to link to you. That’s all you need to know to make a lot of money on the internet.

Add value to your site with affiliate programs
Affiliate programs are a great way to enhance your website income. You can have a resource website, attracting visitors with interesting informative content and not even sell anything. In order to make money, you can join some affiliate programs that target your market.

Here is how it works: You already have visitors coming to your website for your content. You can join affiliate programs with products that you know your visitors will be interested in. Your visitors will click on your affiliate links and go through to your sponsor’s website and buy the product.

You get your commission with no extra effort on your part.Not only will you make money, affiliate programs will add extra value to your site. Good programs will provide useful tools and services for your visitors.

When you add resources to your site Google will look at your website in a favorable way and increase your Page Rank. Increased Page Rank means better positioning in Google. Better positioning means more visitors to your site, with more potential click through and sales.

You get more commission and your visitors get more resources and value, everyone is happy.

Resources for finding programs include; clickbank, commission junction, and of course looking up affiliate programs on Google.
There is also a website full of resources, help and good programs, http://www.makingyouricher.com.
It will give you many good tutorials and resources on how to get the most from your affiliate programs.You can also use the easiest affiliate program of all, Google Adsense. Visitors click on interesting links from Google on your site and Google will pay you a commission per click.

It is easy to set up and Google keeps track of everything. So if you would like to make some easy money from your site, plus add value to your visitors’ experience, then join some affiliate programs and see your profits soar.

Why people fail in affiliate marketing
Affiliate marketing looks easy to do, but in reality it is a little trickier than people realize. One of the main reasons for failure to make profits in Affiliate marketing is lack of dedication and work. Affiliate marketing is like any other business. It takes hard work and dedication to make a successful business.

One of the most common reasons for failure is lack of knowledge about promoting. Affiliate marketing depends on getting a lot of targeted traffic to your website. Only then can you hope to achieve a substantial click through and sales conversion. Many new affiliates are not aware of the amount of work they will have to put in to drive this traffic to their websites.

The other mistake is not to have your own website. This prevents you from doing your own website promotions and does not allow you to capture the email addresses of your visitors. When you do this you will only be building your sponsor’s business and not your own. You will also be decreasing your sales conversions.

Not knowing how to advertise and where you should be doing your direct marketing is also another mistake. Advertising must be towards your targeted market and not in unrelated publications and websites.

Selling, not pre selling: Too many affiliates try to sell their sponsor’s products instead of getting the click through. If you try to sell to your visitors and then send them through to your sponsor’s sales page they are in effect being double sold and will not be very inclined to buy.

If you pre sell to your visitors and warm them for the sale they will be ready for your sponsor’s sales page and be inclined to buy. This will increase sales conversions and your commission.

What You Need To Know Abut Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest business models and this is why many new entrepreneurs begin with these programs. Theoretically all you need to do is send warm ready to buy visitors to your sponsor’s site and his compelling sales page will close the sale. You are just a salesman for other people’s products.

This all sounds deceivingly simple but there are a few things you should know to make an affiliate business work:

Choose the right programs: Choose the right programs: Be very careful of the programs you join. Check them carefully. They should have good support, and real time reliable tracking. A good commission should be paid monthly with no more than $20 limit for payout. Above all the products should be good and targeted to your particular market.

Pre sell, do not sell: One of the big mistakes affiliates do is try to sell their Sponsor’s product. They send the visitor to their sponsor’s page where they will be confronted by a second sales page. Double selling will deter people from buying. Warm your visitor to the sale by pre selling and let your sponsor’s sales page do the selling

Build your business as well as your sponsor’s: You are sending all these potential customers to your sponsor and building his customer list. In order to build your businesses have a way to capture these potential customers yourself. Offer a free newsletter on your site and build your own subscriber list.

Have your own website and drive targeted traffic to it: Do not rely on your Sponsor’s mirror site. Have a theme website of your own. You will be able to set up your own newsletter there and have multiple related affiliate products. The trick is to drive large amounts of traffic to your website and pre sell them to get the click through to your sponsor’s site.

Use these points to build your affiliate marketing enterprise. You will gradually increase your business until you become a “super affiliate.”

How to Find a Top Rated Affiliate Program?
If you're reading this, then it's pretty safe to assume that you are interested in marketing and very interested in making as much money as possible without working too hard. Well, that's what top rated affiliate programs are for because the only way a program can get to the top of the affiliate world is to provide the affiliates with everything they want and then some. Being proactive in meeting the needs of affiliates pay handsomely, which is why top rated affiliate programs can be counted on to offer the terms that make a marketer's heart race with excitement.

What are the features of a top rated affiliate program? For starters, such a program offers high commissions. The people behind it know that their products will sell very well and don't mind giving up a bigger share of the money in order to motivate affiliates and reward their efforts. If you're spending a couple of hours everyday pondering traffic statistics, thinking up ways to improve your website to get top search engine placement and generating a lot of sales then you deserve those high commissions. And if your conversion rate is high enough, you will be making a lot of money in a short time.

Aside from the high commissions you will need quality affiliate support from the associate program in the shape of free website templates to choose from, free content for your website (or websites) written by professional copywriters, tutorials and guides if you're only just beginning and lots of information and advice on the niche market you are going to be operating in. Plus, you get access to advanced affiliate tools for keyword research and traffic tracking. Another very important thing to look out for is the way products are sold. If the managers ask you to buy the products and resell it to customers, then you're walking into a scam.

But you probably know by now that there are no magic buttons to push that can make you a super affiliate in a couple of days. You'll have to work your way to a position of financial security and you have a lot to learn about how to be a good marketer. But joining a top rated affiliate program goes a long way to making your dreams come true as fast as humanly possible because the sad alternative is to do the same amount of work for less money. And that runs contrary to the fact that you deserve to get as much as possible for your efforts.

Low commissions and small percentages of low prices are highly NOT recommended and working for a greedy bunch of managers is an experience that should be avoided. Why waste time and effort when you can start on the right foot by joining a top rated affiliate program? If some people out there are willing to work for low commissions and others can't find anything wrong with investing their own money in a business that doesn't ever pay off, then let them do it. You have other priorities.

Affiliate Marketing Ideas

Making money with affiliate programs is almost a must for any webmaster that been around for some time or at least adding a few Google or Yahoo text links advertisements to your web site. And many have thought about opening a blog in addition to their old web sites. Opportunities are all around you! All you have to do is to go out and grab them as fast as you can!

Most of the people who want to earn money this way end up making some cash, probably enough to cover their web site's expenses. If they have designed the web site themselves, that is. Make no mistake here – you can make money online with web sites, even with very personal blogs, but it's going to take a lot of working and tweaking to get to the point where you attract a highly targeted audience to your web site.

So how do you find a good affiliate program? How do you know if it's going to earn you money or if it's going to be a total waste of money and time? Is it better to opt for a PPC program or settle for sales commissions?

Today it's a little bit different. A lot of people join affiliate programs because they've bought a product and they like it so much that they believe that product has the potential to be a worldwide success story. So why not join the business? Finding a high quality product that you genuinely like to use and are eager to promote is the best way to make money online - that's for sure.

But how does this relate to your personal web site? Would you be able to make money online adding affiliate ads to your existing web site? Would your visitors be interested in clicking the "Order Now" button? For the large majority of web sites, the answer is "No". People have come to believe that text link ads are normal on a web site, and so much so that they simply ignore them.

What you need are affiliate marketing ideas proven to work! Like, for example, you can try to build a second web site. A second web site entirely dedicated to the affiliate program you've joined and try to redirect as much targeted traffic as you can from your main web site to the commercial web site.

Building mailing lists and sending tons of sales copies and newsletters used to work at some point. Now they don't or at least they don't work as well as they used to. Don't get me wrong, I still build mailing lists because I would never give up any source of income, but I know they alone won't guarantee me any money.

A good marketing move is to make the most of the seasonal promotions and advertise your business to as many people as possible. Offline advertising is a very powerful tool if you use it right. Let's say you have a Xmas promotion. You can send with every package a few printed Xmas cards with a nice picture on one side and the address of your web site and a few words about your business on the back of the card. Let your customers send your holiday cards around and promote your business!

The online industry is extremely fast moving. Successful affiliate marketing means constantly coming up with new ideas and testing them.

1. Does the company have good support? Do they answer emails and have valid contact information?

2. Do they have a valid offline address?

3. What % of commission do they pay; 30%-50% is the best.

4. Tracking system - this should be in real time and accurate.

5. Products should be well targeted for your market and of good quality.


Where to research:

1. Forums related to your industry. There are many savvy people who use the forums for reference. You can ask advice from others base on the programs they use.

2. Discussion lists.

3. Look into the program carefully.

4. Put the company name, plus the word scam, into the search engines and see what comes up. Use your own judgment, as sometimes these reviews may not be 100% true.

GOLDEN RULE: Look before you join to prevent being victimized with these scams. It is advisable if you ask other people's opinions. Do not rush, choose good reliable programs wisely that will give you the profits you want for many years to come.
