Being Successful as an Internet marketer, distributor, and supplier is no different than being good at your day job. One needs to be familiar with the customers and products he works with, and be able to implement the relevant skills that he has learned. It is like presenting a dish to people, all you need is the right ingredients and the knowledge of how to make a perfect dish.

With the rising number of lucrative opportunities scattered all over internet, it is no longer a question of how to make money online. The real question now is how to increase profits from various online activities: from buying and selling, affiliate marketing, directory management, advertisement facilitators and of course, article writing.

Using the analogy mentioned above, if you wanted to make a dish that you feel comfortable feeding to your friends, you would want to make sure that your recipe and cooking instructions were correct. Similarly for any project one chooses as his money minting machine in the internet, finding the right Internet program to facilitate and teach him how to make money online is like finding a good cook book.

In addition, the general principles of making money anywhere apply. Firstly, use the law of supply and demand, which most of us are familiar with, to your advantage. The more there is of something, the cheaper it is; conversely, the rarer the product or service, the more expensive it is. This can also apply in ones life and mode of operation. For example, if you are aspiring to do something that many other people want to do then it will be far more challenging for you to make money out of doing it. On the other hand, if you do something that most people do not want to do, and/or if you are very good at doing something most people do not do very well, then you can make a whole lot more money.

It is general knowledge that time is of the essence in almost every aspect of our lives and in this case, time is money. Benjamin Franklin was an accomplished American inventor, journalist, printer, diplomat, and statesman an ultimate multitasker. The ability to manage your time is a critical ingredient in your ability to make money. When you are focusing on high-priority tasks, you must do it very well, and very fast. Thus, by working efficiently, your employer or clients get more time, and they’ll appreciate you for it.

Thirdly, if you’re providing a skill, service or product that is in high demand and low supply, and you’re making the most of your time, you should be making good money. If you are self-employed, the first thing to do is to make sure your customers and clients pay up on time. You must also check your prices and rates against those of your competitors to ensure you optimize in your strengths and their weaknesses.

Finally, whichever opportunity you choose to make money online, you must first take time to learn the basic, how to get started and the methods that you can apply to generate revenue

Moreover, people go after the wrong kind of traffic. People go after diggs, and stumbles, and other social traffic which does not convert into money. Social traffic is great for blogs but you aren’t going back money with social traffic.

So how do you make money online?

You need to make money online by using google. The only traffic worth getting is from search engines. These people will click on the ads. They don’t care if you make money or the advertiser has to pay. They want something. They searched for something and they won’t stop until they find what they are looking for, even if that means clicking on ads.

That is how you make money online.  You can use the free google keyword tracker to find the right keywords. You want to find keywords that have a high adsense CPC (you get 25%) and more than 3,000 searches per month.  The trick is to find keywords that won’ t take long to rank for.  Well, talk more in a future post about finding the right keywords but the short end of it is that if you want to make money online you need to focus on search engine traffic and not social traffic.

You either need to be a blogger or be an internet marketer. which do you want?
