Money Money Money – Is it growing on the net

Coming from my last article, which talked about making money online, some friends said, “LOL, what is this new business idea of yours”, now if you start feeling shy about this whole idea and start having second thoughts, then you are digging your own grave.

For any thought to fructify it takes it's own time and any amount of criticism that it can attract. If all the scientists were shy of their failures or inventions, we would not have reached this stage of reading this article on the world wide web probably on your smart phone. So keep your head high and pursue what you set out to do.

We talked about few successful people who have been making good income writing on the internet in my last article, What makes them successful is the fact they write consistently on the subjects in which people are interested in or want to know about. Now how do we get to know who wants to know what. Very simple, this is something we need to ask the 'Know all' of the world Google.

Google has many tools in the internet, through which we can get to know who is interested in what or what is happening around us Google Trends is one and another is Google keyword planner. Both the sites require you to sign in to deliver the best results. While Google Trends gives you a wider perspective of how each key word is performing over a period of time in the regions selected by you, Google keyword will help you understand how each keyword is in demand and how they are priced, indicating the popularity. This would help you to understand the perspective of the browsers in the internet in terms of what they are searching and how you can help yourselves in providing the same.

When you try to select your key word it is important that you select in such a way it helps in understanding the seriousness with which people are searching for it. Google defines High, Medium & Low, which primarily tells us, how people who search goes for action. If it is a blog, reading the same, e-commerce buying the researched goods etc. Based on search n action the keywords get ranked and their Adwords price bids are fixed accordingly.

I am talking about all these, because unless you know where to start and what to write, you will never be able to make an appeal to the reader of your blog. Let's look at some keywords 'Making money online' Adwords for this keyword is quite high. There are regular n frequent searches regarding this, which goes to show the interest of the browsers across the world in this mode. Even the cost of promoting in the

People tend to follow-up with action hence it gets 'High' rating for action, which means people read the articles written about ways n means of making money. Imagine a situation where all of us start writing about 'Making money online' then naturally reader will be following someone who is more successful among us and will tend to follow their writing.

It does not mean we cant write on other subjects, there is so much information on the net and people tend to get confused with 'the information overdose. If we can analyse and make it easy for people to comprehend the information they seek, then we have got for ourselves a good follow-up. Lets deal with this in my next blog.

Making money online – A Myth or for Real

When a friend told me you can make money online, I took at as a joke and tried to brush him off. While I have not made any money so far, thought I can tell you what others are doing to make money.

It is not all hunky dory when it comes to making money online, it is indeed a persisting task which can help you make money online. Each one of us has been endowed with a skill and it is up to us to put it to good use to earn some money online.

What could I do, probably writing, if writing, on what? It is very important that we write about things which people want to know or seeking info. Let's say i am taking the first step in that direction.

Most important principle in trying to make money online, there is no need to feel shy about it. Yes I have set out to make some money by writing about things which people want to know/hear about. If we set out with this approach we are likely to be more successful rather than trying to beat around the bush and hide behind niceties.

Similarly if someone wants to develop apps or websites, they have to be clear about their approach and make their terms clear. In the online business we cannot afford to have bad mouthing by our clients/readers.

Having decided to make money online, it is very much important we establish our credible presence online. That could mean we telling the world that we exist. For a writer like me it could be a blog, for a tech person he needs to announce his presence in a site like Fiverr. But just being present does not ensure we re noticed, we have to start making our presence felt. Let's say a writer like me has to keep writing on subjects of peoples interest and for a tech person, they need to ensure their presence is noticed by those who visit the site like Fiverr.

Some people have really made their presence felt and are reportedly making lot's of money. Among Indians Amit Agarwal ranks on the top with reported earnings of USD 50000 with his website labnol, Ms Shradha Sharma USD 15000/Month with her website Your story and this list goes on. When you look at these sites, it might sound too easy to earn the money, but it has been years of hard work, through which they have reached this level.

I have been a regular patron of Your story and have read many an article from that site. The interesting way they are presented and the success stories they pick up and share with us, is really an appreciable effort. Amit Agarwal of labnol who is a IIT n IIM alumni writes a blog on tech issues in limited words and useful manner. Let's realize both of them deal with info, for which people are looking for. Only when we satisfy the person seeking the info, can we expect him to be visiting us once again.

While the reality is there is scope to make money on the net, it is not a bed of Jasmine and with that realization we have to move forward.
