Without even mentioning it, my website is obviously based in Africa (Swaziland) as suggested by the URL and ever since I got participating online, I grow to realise the riches found online. I have noticed with interest how easy it is to make money online, only when you have reached a certain stage in your marketing efforts.

I want to put it clear to anyone that read this article as to what puts you in the line of cash online:

  1. A website – You need a website to refer whoever is interested to know more about you and the products or services you offer. I have written an article dedicated to justifying the need for African (like any other person) to have their own websites. It’s available for download at the link ’10 Reasons why an African needs a website’.
  2. Traffic – Traffic building is a lesson on its own. This is the centre of internet success and without it; your website is as good as the biggest billboard at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, seen by no person but birds. I have adopted several method that work for my websites and they cost nothing except for time and effort. These are; tirelessly create tasty content to visitors and search engines, work at creating links with related websites and post free articles to article directories.

 

  1. Affiliate companies in place – Traffic is of no use if you cannot turn into profits or cash. You just have to put the goodies in your high traffic pages and earn by visitor actions. I monetize or make goodies from the following companies:
    1. Offerforge.com
    2. PayPal
    3. TrafficSynergy.com
    4. Hostnine.com
    5. The Ads All over this website (from Google Adsense)

 

I know it sounds too simple and you may wonder why everybody is not doing it. Yes, its no boys play because you must dedicate a lot of your resources to overcome the competition that exists online. There are more than 5 million websites online that are competing for visitors and you must work hard to convince each visitor why they have to come back to your website. The only method for success is working hard enough. Do just that and the internet with work for you.
