TechnoLite Ezine, Issue #006

Hi

Welcome to another Technolite

It has been quite an easy going month, with the main update being the make some money with music part. The whole lot has been updated.

As you can see, most things are covered, and thus start you on the way to make some cash.

Why have I done this? In alot of the cases, the info provided is usually sold to people in ebooks, and I want to stop this trend- everyone can benefit. A few years ago I wanted to know how to make money online. I bought ebooks, read so many articles and downloaded every marketing program that was available. Do you know what I found? The information that was given was exactly the same. Sure some has slightly changed and developed, but the basics are still there. Why is that? Well:

1) the main reason is that it can be quite costly to do something new...if it fails you can say that it failed but nothing else, you haven't got anything to show for your hard work.

2) if it isn't broke don't fix it. That is the main statement and secret that all successful online retailers go by, bar non.

Unfortunately people don't seem to trust something that is free, but if you charge for the same information it is more received, and that is ashame.

So my friends, if you want to make money online, especially with your music business/ hobby then the best ways are:

1) use affiliate programs. These should be placed within your text. You should have used the program- tested it out and found the positives and negatives of the product. Remember your reputation is on the line.

2) use Google adsence. Genius to the max. Works well with sites over 50 visitors per day (the more the better) and with content driven sites.

3) Use SiteSells 5 Pillar. Now I haven't gone into too much detail about this great affiliate program. So I will now :) The 5 pillar program is part of Sitesell. They offer free and to-buy ebooks, website building and all the trimmings (to which this site is a part of). The 5 pillar system gives you promotional statements, links, management programs and more. They offer to a site is the capacity to use the affiliate on or offline- giving you the promotional tools to sell offline if you want. They have a lifetime commission policy- anyone who buys the product in 4 or 10 years time- you get the credit. The cool thing is, to sign up is free, with or without website and you don't have to buy their programs/ info products at all- just promote it. SiteSells 5 Pillar site is an open secret, it really is.

So as you can see, these are the main selling points, and as you have probably noted you are not selling any of your own goods. So you don't have to worry about making tunes at the mo, just make some good content that keeps your visitors coming back for more and content that hooks the search engines.

Oh by the way, There are some articles that can be found here, created by myself on another site. This is mainly because Google and some of the other engines will penalise you for duplicate content, i.e. if my articles were placed on the main site, that page would be taken off their radars...not a good thing :) If you want to use the articles on your own website, thats no problem, just keep the info box at the bottom of the article thats all :)

All the best, and happy music making.
