    Weekend Internet Money Project - Internet Vending Machines
    by Iszuddin Ismail

    Do you remember when you were a kid and you have that little
    piggy bank. Every now and then, your mom or dad, or your
    uncles and aunties come by and drop in a few coins for you.

    What if I can show how to have that again - even if you are
    70? That would be great right? No saving effort, yet you
    have a small little saving that you put a way every now and
    then.

    Infact, later I will even show you how to turn this piggy
    bank into a line of vending machines, scattered all over
    the internet. You will have money thrown at your everyday,
    around the clock.

    So here's your weekend internet money project, generating
    that little change for the rainy days.

    I have been on the internet since 1997 and I think that now
    is the easiest time for you to make money from the internet.

    Of course there are many ways for you to make money on the
    internet. But the easiest would in a way which you don't
    have to do a lot of things - no money handling, processing
    orders, no shipping or any of those things.

    And even in times when you have to work, why not be it
    something that you like doing.

    Consider this famous quote -

    "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a
    day in your life." - Confucius

    And I think it is true. Doing something that you love is
    never a work. It is never a job - it's passion.

    Now back to the weekend internet money project.

    Why don't you start considering what is it that you love and
    passionate about. What you should do is share with the world
    about it. How? - Build a website.

    Today, building a website is child's play. A seven-year old
    can show you how to build a website. And even if you are
    totally blur about the internet and computers, there are
    many tools and software that can help you with this.

    Let's not go into detail on this. Let's talk about how to
    make money.

    The big question is - How to generate money from your
    website. Now this is no secret. There are only two ways to
    make money from you website - the easy way.

    1 - Google Adsense (http://www.google.com/adsense)
    2 - Affiliate Programs

    Let's talk about Google Adsense. When you have build your
    website, register for Google Adsense program and start
    earning money for every clicks that you refer to
    advertisers. Just sign-up, get the advertising code and put
    it in your website. And that's it.

    Google Adsense has a technology that will show relevant ads
    on your website. If your website talks about babies, Google
    Adsense will display ads on baby products. This will indeed
    increase clicks on the ads and increase you earning from
    Google Adsense.

    Before you know it, this little website IS your little piggy
    bank. But instead of having you mom or dad fill it in, you
    have somebody that you don't even know, willingly giving you
    their spare change.

    I can't say how much you can really earn. Some clicks give
    you $1.23 and some just gives you $0.06. That all depends on
    the industry and how competitive that industry is
    advertising. But whenever anyone gives me a spare change, I
    take it.

    Now, let's talk about affiliate programs. How does this
    work? This is again about advertising, but instead of
    earning by every click, you earn bigger money, but for every
    sales that occur.

    The miracle of the internet has been able to track visitors
    from your website and being able to tell whether or not they
    purchased anything at the advertisers' website.

    Unlike earning by clicks, a sales doesn't occur as often.
    But with affiliate programs, you earn more. You may be
    earning $0.23 for a click but you can earn $50 for a sale.

    There are numerous affiliat programs on the internet. Some
    of the famous on would be like the one I list below

    1 - Commission Junction - http://www.cj.com
    2 - Linkshare - http://www.linkshare.com
    3 - ShareASale - http://www.shareasale.com
    4 - Dark Blue - http://www.darkblue.com
    5 - ClickBank - http://www.clickbank.com
    ... and there are more ...

    What you should do with affiliate programs is choose the
    most relevant affiliate programs to your website, and then
    start promoting them in your website. If you have a website
    about babies, find an affiliate programs on baby products.
    That is the way to do it.

    Some affiliate programs indeed offer the $80 commission per
    sale but if that product is not related to your website, I
    doubt that any sale is to occur.

    Now, we've talked about the opportunity of the internet and
    building your small piggy bank ... now let's talk about the
    action plan.

    1 - Build Your Website

    This is easy. Here are some tools that you can use that will
    help you make building and maintaining your website almost
    effortless.

    2 - Always Update Your Website With Fresh Content

    In your free time, always write more about the thing that
    you are passionate about. Just let the ideas pour in and
    write whatever it is that you are thinking about.

    Some Other Tips I Can Share

    Now, is there more things that I share? Well, yes! Just
    consider the following.

    Tip #1 - Is There a Market for Your Topic?

    Try considering how many other people have the same interest
    as you. If there are many people that have the same interest
    as you, they are your possible visitors. What you can do the
    check this out is to check how many people are searching for
    the related field.

    Try out Overture Search Term Suggestion Tool where you can
    check out how many times a keyword was searched for the
    previous month. If there aren't many, you may have a website
    with no visitors.

    Run through all the keywords relating to your passion in the
    tool and see. You might even find a topic that you can
    really focus on rather than a very broad topic. If you like
    cats, try cat food, cat care, cat clothing ...

    If there are about 5,000 searches minimum for that keyword,
    you can go with that.

    Tip #2 - Learn a Little Bit of Search Engine Optimization

    This is the skill in which you try to get good listing in
    search engines.

    Now, don't get too hooked up on this. Just do the basics.
    Learn a thing or two and start implementing it in your
    website. You can about this at the following website.

    - http://searchenginewatch.com/
    - http://searchguild.com/
    - http://www.lilengine.com/

    Tip #3 - Get People To Link To You

    Now, on top of writing fresh new content for your website,
    why not every now and then, find another website and ask
    that website to link to you. You can even ask them to link
    to a specific article that you have.

    You benefit in two ways from this. One, the visitors on the
    other website can know about your website and come over.
    Two, search engines like websites with many incoming links.
    So having many incoming links can boost your listing in the
    search engines.

    Tip #4 - Turn Piggy Bank Into Vending Machines

    Now, here's a big tip. Because when everything is up and
    running, you don't really have to do much - you can build
    more website. Each of this websites is like another piggy
    bank. But because you have so many of them, in every corner
    of the internet - it's like having vending machines in every
    corner of the town.

    Now - how great is that?

    In fact this is better than having vending machines. You
    don't have to refill them, you don't have to get out of your
    house - it's great.

    Infact I myself is in the process of building my own small
    vending machines all over the net. I have a site on
    paintball, I have a site on airsoft, I have a site on
    computer cases, and a few more. And I want to add more.

    When ever you feel like it's time for a new website, just
    think about what else you are interested in and start the
    work all over again.

    So I guess that is all. To sum it all up, here is a short
    summary action plan for you.

    1 - Find a field that you are interested in
    2 - Qualify with Overture Search Term Tool
    3 - Build your website
    4 - Build links
    5 - Build more content

    So ... I wish you well. Start building your piggy bank ...
    err ... I mean your vending machines.
