Today I want to speak a bit about a little hidden (not so hidden to some) online residual income builder. Well, let me backtrack for a second this method won’t directly build you a passive income online but it definitely can help you get ahead.
As I’ve mentioned before in some of my SEO tips and tricks articles if you want to make money you need targeted web traffic, and in order to get that traffic you’ll need your site ranked high in search engines. If you want to rank high then you need to build up a solid foundation of anchored links. Well, with article marketing you can do just that.
For those of you who don’t know article marketing is I’ll explain it to you a bit now. It’s great for those of you looking to build up links for your passive income websites. What you do is you write an article related to the website you want to promote and then you submit this article to hundreds of free article directories around the Internet.
You see the beauty of this is, at the bottom of your article is what we call a resource box. In this little box you write some information about the website you are promoting and you can also usually put in 1 or 2 anchored links in the description. If you read any of my SEO articles you’ll know exactly why anchored links are important and how to do them. There are also article submission services like ArticleMarketer.com which will submit your articles for you which saves you literally hours and hours of work.
So if you are seriously about setting up a residual income business online then you really need to learn about and get in a good habit of regularly doing article marketing in order to promote you money making websites. You will not see instant results but it will definitely help your SEO efforts and you’ll rank better in the search engines.
Welcome back to another post about making residual income online through having knowledge of SEO techniques. In the first post we spoke about how important traffic is to make a passive income on the Internet. I also spoke to you about some of the basic techniques you can apply to your pages in order to bring in some of this valuable traffic that everyone wants.
The great thing about learning some of the basic SEO optimization techniques is that once you start to master them you’ll be ahead of 99% of the people out there online trying to earn an income each month. Today in part two of this series I wanted to discuss the power of what we call anchored links.
So as we all know in order to actually build a website that gets steady traffic and earns passive income off a variety of sources like affiliate marketing, advertising, and more, we need to rank highly on Google, meaning on the first page if not in the top 3 results. What you’ll need to do is go and get anchored links.
Now anchored links are the words that you see on websites that you can click on and will take you to another website. So what you want to be doing is going out and getting hundreds if not thousands of anchored links on other websites that point towards your income generating website.
So let me give you a little example now. On this site I want to rank for the terms “residual income” and also “passive income” in the major search engines. When I go out and get links on other people’s websites, blogs, and in article marketing, I’m going to try to have those keywords as the anchor text as much as possible.
What will happen is that search engines like Google and Yahoo will see these keywords in the links and place greater importance on your websites search engine results when people search for those terms. I won’t get into detail today on how to go about getting these links but just remember at this point that the more targeted anchor links you have all around the web (especially from famous, respected website) the better you will rank in search engines. What does that mean for you? More residual income coming in online to your business!
When it comes to a residual income source there are so many different kinds that you can go after these days. You can try real estate, running a company on auto pilot, investing in bonds or stocks, and more. These days it seems that more and more people are trying to build passive income online through the use of the internet. Why not, the opportunities are abundant, and the internet is growing more and more on a daily basis.
So the question is if you do decide to go after making income on the Internet where in the world do you start. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed and not know which way you want to go or what you should do to make the residual income that everyone speaks about and tries to make it sound so easy to do. Let me tell you it won’t be easy but it’ll be well worth the effort once you see the monthly income start rolling in.
Well what I want to recommend to you today is to join a forum that will be able to help you learn all about internet marketing and how to make a passive income online. This community or learning center is called “The Affiliate Academy” and it’s one of a kind. I’m a member of it and I must say I’m amazed at what it has taught me. It is run by a man by the name of Vic who tells it to you like it really is and if anyone can teach you how to make income online it is him I must say!
With The Affiliate Academy, Vic doesn’t necessarily speak about one way to set up a your business but he teaches the fundamentals of how to make income online which in my mind is the most important to this game. I have learned so much through the website and continue to use it daily. There are interactive forums where you can ask questions and also heaps of recorded videos and sessions where you can listen to him chat and teach about making online income and more. If you are interested in signing up for this academy you can register here.
I’m not recommending that making residual income online is the only business model that you pursue but I think it’s a good one. I also think that if you do decide to go after making a passive income through the net you need a good website like The Affiliate Academy where you can ask questions and learn from people who make income online each and everyday and it is their main source of money!
If you want to make an online residual income and you want to start off fast without all of the waiting there is a way to get around it. Basically what you can do is buy a website that is already generating an online passive income. Yes that’s true people actually sell websites after they have built them up.
Let’s start off by explaining why buying a website that is already making a residual online income is a good idea. First of all when you start a new website on the internet in order to actually start being found by Google there is a waiting period or what is referred to as the Google “sandbox” in internet marketing circles. This is an unofficial time period of between three months to one year where new websites basically are not really found in search results by Google. It’s to protect people from spam websites that want to generate quick income online and then move on. What this means for you is even if you produce a legit website you’ll be waiting about three months at least until you see any income coming in.
Another good reason to buy a website that is already is making some money is that if you buy a proper site, the person who is running it has already done the keyword research, design, and search engine optimization for you. It couldn’t get easier then that. All you have to do is maintain the website by writing some content and keep updating the SEO of it. If you do that and you have purchased a proper site you will continue to generate passive income for a long time to come.
Now if you do want to buy a website that is already making an income online I would head over to the website sitepoint.com and then go browse around in there marketplace section. There you will be able to look through what people are offering. People usually price a website for 8-12 months of what they make monthly. So if they are earning $100 a month of residual income through Adsense then they will probably sell there site for between $800-1200 and that would be a fair price to ask. Just remember to make sure that you ask to see proof of what kind of income the site you are thinking about is actually making.
So if you really want to make an online income, then buying a website that is already generating money might be a great place to start. The good thing is you’ll already be earning residual income every month and you’ll start to understand how the whole system works and feels. As this purchased website is working away for you then you’ll just keep building your other sites in the background. If you do have a bit of income to put down I would really recommend this method of getting your feet wet in this game!
Many people talk about making residual income online like it’s something that is easy and does not take time. Well to be honest to some extent that is true. Once you learn the fundamentals of online marketing and business and have everything set up and going then making residual income on the internet is not that hard. The question is how you get to that point.

SEO may sound tricky but after you learn some of the basics it’s not actually that hard. To do it properly it will take time and patience just like it will for you to set up your residual income business.
First off just to make things clear as to why SEO is key, you need to understand it because in order to draw traffic to your website to actually make an income you need to have visitors coming to your website.

So enough chatting let’s get into a few simple SEO techniques.

A few key places that you are going to want to use your keywords are in the title tag, in the H1 (header) tags, and also if you can in your links. There are tons of tutorials on the internet that will teach you all about HTML but that is a bit beyond the scope of this article.
Another SEO technique that not many people talk about but it really helps out a lot is if you have your keywords in your domain name or URL. So for example my website is all about how to build residual income into your lifestyle. Did you notice something about my domain name? Bingo take a close look and if you have been reading this article carefully you will know what I’m referring to. I can tell you that if you want to rank well in search engines then try and get domain names with your keyword in the name – it will help you a lot!
So there you have it, just a few tips to get you going on your path toward making a stream of residual income through SEO tricks and the Internet. I will be writing many other articles on this subject to get you more and more advanced but just remember to make income online you need to rank high in search engines or end up spending a lot on paid ad’s. Either way understanding basic and even advanced optimization trick will help you a lot build up your online business website.
Well today I want to speak to you about the way many people are able to develop their first stream of residual income online. This method is by signing up and using Google’s amazing contextual advertising program called Adsense. If you are interested in the internet and understand a bit about how to develop websites or write good content then this might be just the residual income business opportunity that you’re looking for.
Today I just want to explain to you some of the basics of this lovely passive money generator and then in subsequent articles we will get into more and more details on how to succeed with it. First of all you will want to have yourself one or several good websites that have useful information and well written articles in order to use Adsense effectively. Some popular topics for websites that seem to work pretty well for many people and pay well when using Adsense are subjects like finance, investing, medicine, business, marketing, culture, beauty, and many more.
The next thing you will need is lots of targeted web traffic. Now I’m not going to get into how to get web traffic today but I will say that in order to actually make Adsense a viable business opportunity that you are actually making an income from you will need lots of visitors coming to interact with your website.
If you have a good website that does have solid traffic then you are probably ready to sign up and use Google Adsense to start earning a decent online passive income. Signing up for an account is not too hard, It is a bit of a tedious process but once it’s all done and set you’re good to go forever as long as you stick to the rules and don’t abuse the program.
What will happen once you insert the Adsense code within the webpages of your existing site is Adsense will read the content and display Ads that are relevant to your content therefore increasing the chances that your users will end up clicking on them. Every time a user clicks you get paid. It’s a great online residual income model for you to try out. Like I said as long as you are interested in the Internet, building up and writing content for websites then this might be just the perfect match for you!
