4 Steps To Your First Money Online By Dan Fletcher

Many new internet marketers want to begin making money
online, but have no idea where to start. One of the best
ways for a beginner to start is by using a web script.
Although it sounds complicated, these scripts (usually
written in a programming language called PHP), often aren't
as complicated as would first appear, and they are a great
way to create a large site in a small amount of time.

Step 1: The first step is to decide on a script. There are
all sorts of PHP scripts available, ranging from joke
sites, to ebook stores, to membership sites, and more.
Basically- if you can think of it- there is probably a
script to do it. Research different scripts, and work out
what is right for you. Your decision should be based on
what your hobbies are, what your skill level is, whether
you want to sell something, or make money from advertising,
how much time you can devote, and what your budget is.

Step 2: Now download the script, and read all the support
documentation. Don't just try and install the script
straight away- read the documentation first, as it may
mention something important that you need to know! Some
developers will install the script for you- even if they
do, you should still read about the script, so you know
what it can do.

Step 3: The third step is to change some of the content of
the script. Google has something called a "Duplicate
Content" filter, which it uses to stop identical sites from
dominating the search results. This means if you don't
modify your site, it probably won't get much traffic from
the search engines (Because it will look identical to the
websites of everyone else that has bought the script!)

Try and find the template file for the script, and modify
it in whatever way you want. You should change titles,
headers, keywords, and if your HTML skills are up for it-
even the layout. You should also modify the content
wherever you can (A lot of web scripts have an admin panel
that allow you to do this), and also add your own fresh
content. Change as much as you can- it might take a bit of
time, but you'll be better off in the long run.

Step 4: Now it's time to start getting some traffic to your
site. There are literally thousands of ways to do this. At
the very minimum, submit your website to some search
engines, write some articles and submit them to some
article directories, and submit your site to some web
directories. You should research other ways of getting
traffic- this is the lifeblood of every internet business.
The most important thing is to track what works. Install an
analytics program (I highly recommend google analytics),
and see what works and what doesn't. When you find
something that works- keep doing it.

As long as you stick with it, you should eventually
succeed. And you can't beat the feeling you get the very
first time you make money while your sleeping! Good luck!
