6 Simple Steps for Making a Living Online - Michael Smith (most read book in the world txt) 📗

Introduction

If you want to make some money, and I mean some serious money  (50$ to 500$ / day) by sitting at your computer, you've come to the right place. With this method, you can start earning money at day 1.

The amount of bucks you're going to earn depends completely on your dedication. This method does not require any special skills, but it helps if you're a skilled writer. Programming skills are a plus, but you can pull this off with zero experience. You can get this thing rolling next to free - your only expense is probably going to be a hosting plan in order to get a website online. Okay, ready to make some money? Let's go.

Step 1: CPAGrip

CPAGrip is an affiliate network for CPA (Cost-Per-Action) -surveys. Basically CPAGrip give you referral links for third party surveys (Enter your phone number and win a free Iphone! Get your free App! etc). When someone clicks on the link CPAGrip gave you and completes the survey, you'll get commissions.

Click here to register an account at CPAGrip. Make sure to enter correct information! Once you've registered, from the left-side panel go to offer-tools -> My offersFrom there you can browse surveys for different countries. Your goal is to get as much people as possible to complete the surveys given to you by CPAGrip. The naive way would be to spam the links around the internet and hope someone falls for it, but you can do better.

Step 2: Choose your niche

This is a simple but a very important step. You need to choose a niche. This can be anything from technology to beauty to fitness. Choose something that you're interested in! If you just cant think of anything, click here for a list of niches. Note that each CPAGrip survey allows traffic only from a specific country, so building your niche/website around a specific language is a wise choice. I'll use two niches as example scenarios throughout this text: 1. Mobile phones and 2. Electronic music production

Step 3: Create a landing page

The next step is to create a website. If you don't have a clue about programming or web development, don't worry. You can create a fully functional website with zero programming knowledge by using Wordpress. I'm not going into detail about how to build a website with Wordpress, there's plenty of tutorials out there like this article or this video. If you're a newbie, I recommend finding a hosting provider that gives you a domain, so you dont have to tinker with DNS zone -files. I highly recommend to get a .com -domain for credibility. Once you have your website, hosting and domain set up (in other words, you can view your website at www.mydomain.com) you need to create some content.

Create a few articles about your niche. Anything goes, the point is to make the website look credible. You want your visitors to believe that you have authority over your niche. You can copy articles, but adjust them enough that you wont get caught copying.
Scenario 1 (mobile phones): Reviews of new products, comparison of apps, etc.
Scenario 2 (electronic music production): Reviews of software synths, production tricks, new genres, etc.

Step 4: Gain followers in the social media

Social media is going to be your main source of traffic. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are all good choices. Here's a list of popular social medias. Don't try to use all of them at once, it's better to stick with a few than try to dominate them all. In your first week, try to gain as much as followers as you can. Go talk in groups related to your niche. Be friendly and genuine.

Step 5: Go for the kill

Once you have a good amount of followers (+100), start posting "special" offers in your social media feed. This can be anything that attracts the interest of your followers in the related niche.
Scenario 1 (mobile phones): A contest with a chance to win a brand new Iphone. (The winner can be faked)
Scenario 2 (electronic music production): A free pack of high quality audio-effects. (The files can be pirated)

Create a page on your website to receive the content (opt-in to the contest / download the files / whatever). Here comes the trick. From the CPAGrip dashboard, go toMonetization tools -> Content lockers to create a content locker. Once it's done, click "Get Code" from the content locker manager and follow the instructions to add it in your webpage. Now the visitor must complete a CPAGrip survey before he get's his content (opt-in to the contest / download the files / whatever). You should write something along the line of "Complete this survey to prove that you're human".

Step 6: Rinse and repeat

Continue gaining followers and post a disguised CPAGrip offer each week. Remember to regularly add new content to your webpage! Good luck.
