How we make money online

Today the world is doing a lot of things online. Everybody is doing everything online whether it is work, school or dating. According to New Atlantic based site marketing research, in 2014, people around the world, sent 6 trillion tweets, sent 7 trillion Facebook posts and searched for 7 trillion pages online. In addition, 78% of users accessed the internet daily.

Even, medical students are now taught how to Google, email, chat and use Skype. On the other hand, before computers were introduced to Nigeria in the early 90s, people used to pay for a printout of school assignments. If you have a problem in school, you had to print out the assignment and send it to your lecturer.

So, what this tells us is that if there is no internet available, we will have to pay for things on paper that were previously free. However, not everyone is happy when it comes to the internet. Facebook user and consultant. Sunday Ade, says “I hate the internet, I hate the internet, I hate the internet”. He said that most Nigerians and Africans don’t really understand how the internet works and so because of this most of them run to it and make money and lose it. Ade said “What am I using the internet for?

I am working for a company that does online marketing. And I make money from that and I use this to fund my online business. If there is a problem at home or I am too tired to work I will give my work to my wife. But she doesn’t do any work either, it is always me”.

Also, if you have this kind of attitude, you are not likely to make money online. You must also understand that you can earn millions online without using the internet. How do you do it? Using keywords Keywords make you appear higher on search engine results.

You can’t achieve high rankings if your keyword is not on the list. Many internet users will go to Google to find something, such as travel for instance. They search for hotels, flights, apartments or car rentals etc. But if you are searching for such, your chances of ranking higher are slim. Another way is to pay to be placed higher on search engine results. Many local businesses pay a commission to be listed at the top. It is a pay per click strategy.

Search for keywords that people are searching for. Write and write and write. People search for anything online. This is a fact. Pay attention to the names of websites. If their name doesn’t match your keyword you have problems. Limit the number of keywords you use for a particular search. Writing content that people want to read You can use short and simple sentences. The more you write the less effort your readers have to make. Write your content using emoticons and grammar checking tools.

Avoid spelling and grammatical mistakes Use a strong font size You can spend a fortune paying for keywords. Many companies spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get their SEO strategy right. If your keywords aren’t ranked on the first page of search results, your efforts will have been wasted.

On the other hand, if your keywords are on page one, people visiting the website can’t help but click on the adverts. They will end up buying your products. You can also pay to get more search engine results. You can visit Google AdWords and place an ad for a particular product. Google will then show the ad to the right visitors to the website. The visitors will most likely end up buying your product.
