The One Year Millionaire

Hey Everyone.. welcome back to the ‘One Year Millionaire’. I am very sorry for the lack of updates, my schedule has been really busy last month and I’ve not been able to take time to write articles or even network with like-minded business individuals. Today is a very special issue of the ‘One Year Millionaire‘! Being the 100th issue, I thought I would bring something very INTERESTING to the table.

Have you ever had a genius idea that you thought would be extremely profitable but didn’t have the time or money to make it happen? Have you ever came across a website that offers something unique that you enjoyed browsing? Can you offer something to internet users that no one else could?

In this issue I am going to talk about how you can take your own interests and turn them into Online Money Makers!

Right now there is a big trend that is hitting the world by storm. People everywhere want to know how they can Make Money Online and quit their jobs and maybe live the life of their dreams! If you take most of their Online Experience into consideration then you will notice that many people don’t know much about making Money Online and just try to mimic what they have seen elsewhere. It is commonly believed that to start making money online you should create a website that relates to something that you are very interested in and have a passion for. This will make working on it a lot more fun and will motivate you. Finally, if you don’t reach your financial goals with it at least it is something that you are interested in and maybe you’ve learned a thing or two through research.

Using the Internet, money can be made in many ways… let’s look at some interesting ways that are being used all around the world! I won’t be going into tremendous detail with each, but it will give you an idea about what you can do to make money online!

1. Niche Websites
   This is extremely simple and anyone can do it! You are basically creating a simple website about something you are interested in and monetizing it in various ways. You can either place advertising on these sites, promote affiliate products or even sell it for profit!
   If you are a person with many interests then don’t let that stop you from creating multiple websites for multiple streams of income!
2. Online Stores
   Do you have anything to sell? If you are an entrepreneur than even if you don’t you may come up with ideas of how you can take your interests and convert them into dollars! I have personally always wanted to create my own clothing line and have realized that with the internet at your feet it is easier than ever!
   Let your imagination do the work for you. Making Money by selling things online isn’t as easy as Niche Sites, but I am certain that the profits would be much greater if you put a lot of work into it and have a solid product to sell!
3. Online Services
   If you don’t have a product to sell then maybe you might have a great service to offer! People have different interests and they also have different skills. This is a great idea for Freelancers to make a lot of money online by providing their services to others. Whether you write, create art, design, etc. there will always be a high demand for outsourced services in any business environment!
   A friend of mine has made a fortune through his passion of photography! He used to take pictures for fun, but now he takes pictures everywhere and sells his work as stock photography online! You don’t need to stop there, you can always take your ideas a few steps further, be creative!

If you know the story behind websites like Facebook and MySpace then you know that anyone can make it big online! It just shows that you don’t need much knowledge or experience to make tons of money on the internet! Take your interests and if you haven’t started creating your Online Empire, then start building!

Look out for a lot of great new articles in October as well as a new OneYearMillionaire.net Article Series called “Living like a Millionaire“. You don’t want to miss out!

The Title of this Article may be confusing for some, but it may also be funny to others. It is a play off of a popular Hip Hop song and the reason why I decided to write this article is to point out the importance of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) when attempting to Make Money Online!

This is to say that you might have 99 things wrong with your website, but it wouldn’t have as much of a negative impact as bad SEO! If your website is not optimized properly for search engines you could end up missing out on a lot of money!

When it comes to creating a website that you intend to monetize, the most important thing is traffic! If you do not have people visiting  your website then you will not make money. There are numerous ways to make money with a website such as affiliate commissions, ad impressions and clicks, but none of it will matter if you don’t have a single visitor each day!

To take Full Advantage of the Potential of the Internet you really need to optimize your website for Search Engines because in the long run that is where you will expect to bring in the most targeted visitors. One thing that a lot of new Internet Marketers don’t understand is that not all traffic sources will provide the same quality of traffic. You can’t just say that each visitor is worth the same amount. A visitor who was referred by a Search Engine is more likely to click on a Google Adsense ad then a recurring visitor because someone who visits your site often will become blind to the ads that are displayed! It is generally first time visitors that will click on ads and I believe that if they knew someone was making money from the click then they would avoid doing it!

There are a few main things to keep in mind when optimizing your site for Search Engines. These are Keywords, Title/URL, Content/Body. Just by changing these few things you can increase your Search Engine visits dramatically!

Whenever you create a new page on your website just make sure that it is SEO friendly and you are guaranteed to Make More Money with your site!

Hey Everyone… time is flying and I can’t believe it has already been 6 months since I started the website! In such a short period of time I would like to note that the website’s growth was great considering I spent a lot less time working on it than in previous months. Here are the stats as they stand now:

	June 2008	September 2008
Alexa Rank:	282,626	194,886
Technorati Rank:	91,705	41,803
Google Page Rank:	n/a	PR3
45n5 Top Rank:	265	96
These are my ranking positions as of June 28th 2008 compared to September 28th. Everything seemed to go up considerably despite the lack of updates. Within the last few months I am surprised that I finally received a PR3 and had it taken away! I would like to note that I got my PR3 back after emailing Google about it! As for my 45n5 ranking, I am now within the top 100 Online Marketing websites which is another good thing.
RSS Subscribers:	78	139
RSS Subscribers have almost doubled in the past 3 months. I have seen a lot of websites that get hundreds of new subscribers each month but it is still a difficult task. I haven’t put much work into increasing my subscriber count but it still seems to go up naturally! To subscribe to my RSS Feed by Email click here. It is 100% free and Subscribers will be sent special bonus articles/ebooks, etc. every so often from OneYearMillionaire.net
Traffic Totals:
Daily Visitors (on that day):	460	480
Total Visitors (up to that day):	31,052	79,204
Total Unique Visitors (up to that day):	26,120	70,455
There hasn’t been much of a gain in traffic which I can only assume has to do with the lack of updates and the amount of time I have spent on SEO and Link Building. The numbers jumped near the end of July peaking at almost 1000 visitors and came back down by September. I think that the traffic will increase once I get the ball rolling again.

It has been a great couple of months for the site ( I admit it could have been better); however, there was still only positive changes… Feel free to check out the ONEYEARMILLIONAIRE’s top 3 most popular articles:

Every once in a while you may stop and look at your Financial Situation. Some of us may take that moment to appreciate their good standing while others may become overtaken with the stress of Unpaid Debts! I realized that I haven’t really talked about this on the ‘One Year Millionaire‘ yet and I really wondered why, because overcoming Debt is one of the biggest obstacles when it comes to making money in any business or career!

The worst part is that with the economy going down and inflation, today’s common man or woman will always be left on the bad end of the scale. While the price of living goes up all the time, the salary rates ,etc. don’t seem to budge. I know that personally when I was doing Online Marketing, my first big goal that I wanted to reach was to get out of debt! I had a $25,000 student loan that I had to pay back on top of money that I had borrowed from friends and family. Once I had accomplished that task I was ready to really make some money!

I initially wanted to write this issue just to motivate you to do something about any Debts you may have. Taking a step and taking action is already doing a lot more than most people. I wanted to tell everyone that they shouldn’t let Debts stand in their way in any scenario, but my argument had one fatal flaw. How could I tell people not to let Debts take over their lives and then, not provide anything to help them accomplish it?

So rather than just telling people what to do I scoured the internet for answers and I found a few different solutions. The solutions range from information coming from my own Financial Knowledge, programs to help you get out of Debt and a combination of Instant Credit and a plan.

1. From all my past experiences and stories I’ve been told there are really only two solid options to take initiative and reduce any Unwavering Debts. They are Debt Consolidation and Filing Bankruptcy.
   • Debt Consolidation : This is what I would personally do in any Debt situation if I feel like it may be getting out of hand. This is the idea of taking all your current multiple Debt Sources and combining them into one single Debt. For example: you are late on all your bill payments (electricity bill, internet/phone bill, etc.) and what you would do is go over to the bank and have them consolidate your debts. This means that they will pay all your bills for you and then; instead of owing several different companies/people, you will only have to repay the bank. This is great in many ways because the bank usually has a low interest rate and also it becomes much easier to make payments to one place making it a lot less confusing and much more organized!
   • Filing Bankruptcy : This is only something that you should do when there are no alternatives. Filing Bankruptcy will put a stain on your credit records and you should only do it as a last resort to escape the most Complex Debts. This is to officially declare the inability to pay your Debts. The laws of certain countries may treat it differently, but this is a very serious matter and should be taken care of professionally. Before making this kind of decision you should see a Financial Adviser. Check out Bankruptcy Rights to get a Free Evaluation with an attorney in your area.
2. These are some good programs that I found that can help you with Debt related issues… check them out:
   • Debt Match
   • Debt Clear
   • Smart Way Credit
3. If you just need to get some quick cash and your Credit Rating isn’t the best, then here are some good options (most of these are only good for United States):
   • BadCredit (Credit Approvals with Bad Credit)
   • Credit Card Instantly (US)
   • Credit Card Instantly (UK)
   • Credit Card Lab
   • Emergency Credit Line
   • Free Credit Report

I know that I’ve given you all some valuable information and the opportunity to fix any Debt Problems and I hope that those who need the help will do something and not just sit there while Debts Accumulate. I know that when I had Big Debts that I wish I could have had someone come to me and help me out.

When you look at all the people who are making money online, there is a big percentage who are making close to nothing because of Debts or Bad Spending Habits; but then again, there are some who give us Internet Marketers a good image with $100,000 Google Checks. Keep working hard!
