Today, I want to show you how to find out everything you need to know about how making money online in 2011. You can use some of these techniques to make a bit of extra cash… or even try setting up a home business if you’re ambitious!
And in the spirit of a modern minimum wage millionaire, I’ll show you how to get hold of the information you need without paying for it.
Introducing two guys who know how to make money online
As you may have discovered, there are a lot of’gurus’ out there offering you the secret of making money from emails, websites, videos, Twitter, Facebook and other newfangled marketing strategies.
Some of them are not to be trusted….
“Look at me, I’m in the Bahamas making a million pounds a minute simply by STARING at my laptop. Come join me, this gigantic cocktail is excellent!”
Dodgy, dodgy, dodgy. Even the cocktail looks fake.
And for the privilege of finding out how they make money, you have to pay upfront – anything from £30-£1,000.
You risk all that dosh, even though you don’t really know if the person is for real… if what they’re offering you actually works… if you’ll ever get the information you’re promised… or if you’ll ever see them or your money again!
Usually you have to take a leap of blind faith…and quite often the result is that you land in a pile of dung.
So let me solve all these problems in one fell swoop…
My publisher, Gareth Rees, and his business partner Nick Laight are two guys who’ve been marketing online for ten years.
As I’ve worked with Gareth, I can vouch personally for his expertise. Meanwhile Nick Laight is the founder and director of Canonbury Publishing, who have been producing email newsletters, trading and home business products since 2004.
Together they’ve just launched an exciting project in which they’re offering their expertise for nothing.
If you join their Free Radical service you’ll get tips and advice on using emails, websites and social media to make money.
You could be someone who’s looking for an online business. You could already have some kind of product or service and are looking for ways to get customers. Or you could just be interested in finding out how to get your ideas and thoughts out there in cyberspace – and, of course make a bit of extra cash from it.
Whatever you’re looking to achieve, this will be a great resource for you.
In the next 6 months you’ll also get to see them writing a book ‘live’ online, which you can read as it progresses. You’ll also get videos, book reviews, tips and access to their email addresses.
Not bad… and all that’s for the price of ZERO.

8 ideas that could help you make money online
** Start an email newsletter: Whatever you’re into: gardening, knitting, dogs, fitness, dancing, health and wellbeing – whatever – you can start your own email service to share your tips and ideas with other interested people. You can sell products – your own and other people’s – through your email.
Of course, you need people to email your ideas to. There are four quick ways to attract them:
** 1) Through your website. This means you have to have one, obviously. But you can use http://www.wordpress.com to build one for nothing! Put mini articles or blogs on there every day you’ll soon find yourself attracting thousands of visitors, who you can tempt to sign up for your email newsletter service
** 2) Through Google AdWords. This costs money – it’s sometimes called “Pay per Click” advertising – so do your research first. Essentially, you place a small text ad on the search results pages of Google – again, using the right ‘keywords’ is important.
** 3) Through recommendations – Once you’ve built your email list up to a substantial number of recipients, you can approach other newsletter providers and see if they’ll recommend you to their readers.
***4) By setting up on social media sites like forums, Twitter, Facebook and Myspace. (Nick and Gareth will be able to tell you more about that!)
** Sell your own products! It could be eBooks… fitness equipment… vitamin supplements… investment guides… property courses… pet health information… knitting patterns… when you sell your own products to people on your email newsletter list, all the profits are yours. Or…
** Sell other people’s products through Clickbank. You can find thousands of related products on http://www.clickbank.com that you can promote in your email newsletter immediately. You don’t have to write any sales copy, nor do you have to take any payments.
** ‘Steal’ other people’s work through the public domain: Plundering the public domain allows you to seize control of someone else’s creative work, repackage it and market it as your own. You don’t have to put a penny of your own money at risk, nor do you need any previous experience in creating and marketing online products: the works have ALREADY been created for you!
These should give you some tasty food for thought.
