Why would you leave home to make money?
We didn’t create the internet so we could keep commuting back and forth to work. So much of our lives is now online, why not make money online too? There are so many ways to make money online now. The most obvious option is to find a job that allows you to work from home, which has suddenly become very common. But what about creating you own online business? Give yourself more control over how you spend your time, what you do for work and be more creative. Is that something that interests you? What if you could get paid to write emails?
The Simplest option to make money from Home
There are so many options when it comes to online business, today I want to focus on just one, the simplest one. Getting paid to write emails. Can you actually get paid to write emails? Do people make any real money doing this? Yes, some people actually do very well at this and you can learn to do it too. This isn’t a job and it’s not a get rich quick scheme. You will have to spend some time learning new skills and building the business, but it can definitely be worthwhile and a lot of fun.
How it works
Your going to need to find some products to promote. Many companies will give you a commission for any sales you help generate. You email people, tell them about a product you like and why they will like it too and voila! You get a piece of the action for every item sold. It is really that simple. Well, if it so simple, why aren’t more people doing it? The truth is more and more people are doing it and while it is simple, not everyone makes money doing it.
What’s not in the brochure?
The problem is that you don’t want to just email people you know. There is no way you know enough people for that to work. You also don’t want to just buy email lists, that’s a good way to get on the naughty list. So what do you do? You have to build an audience, one email address at a time. Don’t worry there is a proven strategy that you can follow, it does take time, but it’s actually pretty fun.
The Strategy
The secret is to target less people. Yes, you want to target a fewer people but with a very specific message. That’s right, don’t try to sell to everybody. You might think, the more people you reach out to the better and that’s partially true. You have to filter the list and not just try to send offers to everybody. You’ve got to filter it down to people who will be more receptive to your product.
How to get Started
The best way to get started is to find a category of products that you want to promote. It could be health, fitness, weight loss, fashion, online business opportunities, etc. Choose an area that is meaningful to you. Choose an audience that you want to help who can benefit from the products you want to promote. Get clear about your message and then start sharing your message, focusing on who you want to help and why.
Spread the word
Share your message far and wide and you will attract and audience. Be sure to collect email addresses as you go and over time, as you build your list, you will be able to send offers to your email list. You will make sales to some percentage of the people on the list. They buy, you get a commission. Once your list is big enough, you will be able to consistently make commissions on your emails. That’s it, you’re getting paid to write emails.
How To Scale
In order to make a million dollars, you just need to figure out how to make $1 and do it a million times. It’s a old cliche, but the truth is that the internet allows you to use automation and leverage to do something similar. There are very powerful tools available online that allow you to reach a lot of people very quickly. You can leverage paid advertising and organic traffic to reach a lot of people very quickly.
Other Resources
This is a proven strategy. The problem is that most people who try it give up before they make any real money. It takes time and consistent effort to get results, it won’t happen overnight. The other problem is that many people don’t bother to learn how to do it properly. There is a lot of training on this online, but if you really want to succeed, you should find a coach. The best introductory training that I have found is the Entre Blueprint by Jeff Lerner. He breaks down all the ways to make money online and which strategies work the best. His training really changed my perspective on online business. You can learn more and get started at the link below.
