Below are some of the facts about earning in the Online world.
1.
Affiliate Marketing- Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a company pays its affiliate for each customer brought by the affiliate's marketing efforts.
In this type of marketing, the claim is that "You'll be working with many companies you choose, and earn a commission when a sale occurs via your special link called Affiliate link or Pay code link or Hoplink".
2.
Data Entry- Anything you enter online is termed as Data entry.
Data entry work opportunities vary from simple data entry process such as forms filling, surveys, advertising, maintaining databases on corrections, correction and editing, transcription, secretarial work, and so on to the more challenging transcription work.
Although data entry work is a simple concept, it still requires hard work and commitment, just like any other work at home job or web business.
In fact, Affiliate marketing is a type of data entry job, as you'll be typing/ placing ads about the company that you wish to promote.
There are a good number of online companies who want data entry operators to work for them, but the hardest part is to find a legitimate company who would pay for your services.
To find the data entry opportunities, it's better to advertise yourself on the internet about your data entry services and if any company/ individual contacts you requesting your service and you provide your service to the company/ individual, then you make money.
The fact is that, you'll be placing/ typing ads in the name of promoting company.
If any person clicks on the ads and purchases some product, then you get paid with the predefined amount or commission for the purchased product.
The ratio of people visiting the company with your affiliate link is negligible.
I cite this for the reason, like you there are lots of affiliates who are promoting.
So, now you can imagine how often any individual would find your ad, click on it and then go ahead to purchase it.
I hope you got a fair picture of "how difficult it is to get even a single sale".
There are certain online companies, where they pay you, if someone just clicks your link, but the most challenging part is to get someone to click on your link.
3.
Article Marketing- Article marketing is a type of advertising in which companies/ affiliates write articles related to their respective industry.
These articles are made available for distribution and publication in the marketplace.
Each article has a resource box that includes references and contact information for the author's business/ affiliate's promoted company/ product.
Articles can be about anything, and something that may not seem interesting to you might be interesting to others.
There are Websites on the Internet about almost every subject matter you can think of, and these Websites are always eager for newer subject articles for their Websites.
This creates content that search engines want to see.
This is why many companies are willing to pay top dollar amount for original content articles.
Good quality content articles (Good quality includes your hold on the language, vocabulary, grammar, content to the point etc.
), are the ones that get all the commendation and will be ranked high in the search engines.
No wonder, internet is flooded with all different kinds of software for article writing.
You can make use of them to write an article (create an Article) and you become an Article writer.
To succeed, I mean to make some money in this type of marketing; you need to produce good quality articles.
4.
Email Marketing- Email marketing is a type of marketing which uses electronic mail as a means of communicating sale messages to an audience.
This deals with sending email messages with the idea of gaining new customers or convincing current customers to buy something immediately.
In this type, you'll be involved in sending simple text emails to a set of email recipients.
The email would consist of few lines about the company/ product that you are promoting.
There is a good amount of commission/ pay to each of the email processed successfully.
Processed successfully in turn means, the email should generate a sale and you will be paid only after that.
Most of the times in the email marketing, it might so happen that you are promoting the company you joined and majority of the times, these become a SPAM emails.
So, in order to make some money through this type of marketing,you need two things: --1.
Find a legitimate company that pays you for your efforts.
(Hardest part of this program) --2.
Put your best efforts and be committed, so that you make money.
5.
Paid Surveys- "This is one of the easiest ways to earn money" assert most of the online paid surveys websites, as this does not require any special knowledge or skills.
All you need to do is join few legitimate paid survey companies and you'll be sent the survey invitation.
Fill out the survey questionnaire with your opinions and you get paid for survey.
This is how online Paid surveys work.
However, the catch is that, most or majority of the survey companies concentrate only on the US market and you can join to the companies only if you are a resident of US.
So, not many online paid survey companies are available to the rest of the world.
Luckily, if you found a paid survey company that accepts participants from all over the world or at least from your residential country, then after joining, you'll be sent the survey questionnaires to know your opinions.
Many a times, it may so happen that, by the time you open the survey to fill out, you might be thrown out of the survey saying "The survey is full" or "you don't qualify to take the survey" where in you'll never know the qualifying criteria.
In that case, you don't make any money and you will wait for a new survey in your inbox.
Also, each company specifies certain dollar limit and you will not be able to Request Payout unless you reach or cross the specified limit.
Another factor is that you might not get any survey for quite a long time.
However, this might not be true if you are a US resident.
In short, the conclusion is that, All the programs, websites etc.
that states "you can earn money online by working from home for just few minutes" are just false claims at least in the very beginning.
May be once you have set up your business, it might be a work of few minutes.
I'm yet to reach that milestone.
