As I began getting up to speed on the latest in making money online, I found myself getting deeper and deeper into the research aspect. I’ve learned quite a bit over the past month and have done some tests to see what forms actually work, the process, and the long term value if the efforts are sustained. Here’s a summary of what i’ve done.
Research
Found a handful of solid forums that discuss aspects of making money online from affiliate marketing to search arbitrage and blogging.
Stumbled upon this site while searching for information on search arbitrage, basically its a forum of affiliate marketers who make money online. They discuss areas such as traffic building, affiliate marketing, content development, and more. Their Newbie section allows beginners ask basic questions regarding the what to do. What separates this website from others is the proportion of successful marketers to newbies. With a solid base of active users, it’s a great resources for affiliate marketing and making money online in general.
Digital Point
This forum has been around for a while but it’s good to note some of it’s strong points. The amount of information available is huge and their forum is neatly categorized helping you find the information. They have a voucher section on the forum that allows you to buy promo coupons for the major search engines. I was able to setup my Google, Yahoo, and MSN advertising campaigns receiving bonus money. It’s also a good place find link partners, services providers, and more. It’s definately a place to frequent every so often.
Tests
I had a couple of sites in development that are part of a larger network. The sites were designed and content created, they weren’t launched as yet because the overall network strategy was to get traffic through organic search results. I decided to test the Google Adwords to adsense model to see if it’s viable. Based on my results over a 30 day span, I was able to earn approximately $2 on adsense for every $1 spent on adwords. The sample size is quite small but the ratio is good, i’ve concluded that it can definately word and with the proper time can be built out into a successful money making operation.
In future updates i’ll break down some of the other tests done as well as provide some more resources to help you make money online. For now, know that research and testing is a VERY important aspect to your success. Most want to jump right in and go for it, if you have the money to blow fine but I suggest taking your time.
