The 3 Vital Steps To Achieving Financial Freedom Online

By: Darren Siebrits

Everyone dreams of becoming financially free. With the technology of the internet more and more people are living that dream. There are lots of ways to make money on the web and in this article I will tell you about one off them. This method is most probably the easiest and cheapest way to put you on the road to financial freedom. It has worked for me and I can almost guarantee you that it will work for you. 1. Create a Website If you don't have a website then I strongly recommend that you get one. There are lots of companies on the web offering free web hosting but you will only end up with a website that will be cluttered with the company's banners and ads. That is why they are hosting your site for free because they earn revenue from the ads they put on your site. Too many banners and ads on a site will distract visitors in such a way that it will be quite difficult for them to focus on what you have to offer. Having a free site will also leave you with a sub domain name. Sub domain names usually don't rank well on the major search engines and believe me that if you want to make money on the internet you will need your site to rank well on the major search engines like Google and Yahoo because that is where all the people are. It is well worth it rather paying for your own website that has got no bannners and ads from the hosting company. Don't fret about spending some penny's because by following these 3 steps outlined here your income will by far exceed your expenditure. I personally recommend you get your website hosted by Lunar Pages. Their prices are very affordable and they are rated number 1 in the industry. Next you should decide on a topic for your site. It should be something that most people are usually interested in for example employment, work from home etc. Whatever topic it may be, just make sure you add lots of original quality content. The more the better. 2. Join an Affiliate Program There are literally hundreds of affiliate programs on the internet. All you need to do is go to sites like AffiliateGuide.com or Commission Junction and sign up for a program that suites the topic of your site. By far the most popular of these is Google Adsense. When you join the Adsense program you will be able to display Google ads on your site and get paid for it every time a visitor clicks on it. The reason for this is that advertisers pay Google every time someone clicks on the ads and then you, the publisher gets paid a percentage of that fee. The amount you get paid depends on how much the advertisers are willing to pay Google per click. The ads will be related to whatever your site topic may be so it will only increase the chances of someone clicking on the ads.

3. Increase Your Website Traffic In order for your site to become successful in generating a healthy income you will need lots of traffic. There are lots of ways to do this. One is to submit your site to as many search engines as possible. SubmitExpress lets you submit your site to 40 search engines for free. Another effective method is to write an article and briefly mention your site. Submit your article to as many e-zines and article directories as possible. Check which sites similar to yours ranks high in the major search engines and try to contact the webmasters and ask for a link exchange. You can also go to FreeViral or TrafficSwarm and sign up for a free account. Both systems let you generate targeted traffic to your website through the use of viral marketing. Getting lots of traffic to your site is not an easy task. It will take some time and effort before your site will lift off. Perseverance is the key word. If you can master that quality, then you are well on your way to financial freedom
