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:

Before I get into today’s issue of the ‘One Year Millionaire’ I would like to apologize to my loyal readers for the lack of updates in the past couple of weeks. I’ve been really busy with a multitude of other projects and to make up for it I am going to write a few articles this week and also find some valuable offers for my lucky readers!

In this issue I am going to talk about why it is very important for you to become an Online Authority on the subject of your website. The main critical reason to you will want to try your hardest to become an authority is to build your company’s credibility and to acquire the trust of your readers.

Having a solid reader base is one of the most important steps to maintaining a successful website. If you want to do well with Internet Marketing or establishing any other Online Business then you will want to reach as many people as possible. You will want to attract new readers and keep them. For example, if I am currently an authority on health and exercise and I start to promote Diet products on my website I will probably do quite well. If I am not an authority then I will probably have to work a lot harder to get these products to sell!

Your Online Reputation can do a lot for you once you’ve earned it. Since I’ve been doing Online Marketing I’ve connected with quite a few other webmasters and we generally do what we can to help eachother out and keep our network growing strong. Becoming an Authority on a certain subject will help you target and also broaden your audience. If you have a Website that sells the latest shoes and everyone knows that it is the #1 source to buy shoes online then you are bound to make a killing! If you just read that sentence and thought to yourself “What can I do to be known as the #1 Source?” then you are already on your way to become a great Internet Marketer!

Now that you know the advantages of Becoming an Authority here are a few ways you can become an Online Authority and Make Some Money!:

1. Get The First Scoop. You always want to try your best to bring the ground-breaking news to your readers before it has been published everywhere else! One of the greatest things about Marketing and the internet is that today’s news is actually today’s news! If you read a newspaper you are reading about what happened yesterday, but Online you can find out what is going on right now! Give your audience the first scoop when you have it and you will have readers coming back for more!
2. Introduce New Ideas. If you are in an innovative field and there is always topics of debate and opinion then you always have the option of bringing your own unique ideas to the table. If you want to spark discussion on your Website it is always encouraged be active with your readers and offer your own ideas.
3. Provide Detailed and Accurate Information. Having a Website with information that is not necessarily correct can sometimes hurt your Online Image. It is not always the best idea to make up things or to lie about something on your website because the last thing you want is to lose your loyal readership! Always try to the best of your knowledge to provide accurate information and you will be surprised how many people will listen to your words.
4. Build Your Link Popularity. A great way to build your Online Reputation is to have links from a lot of other Websites. This is not only beneficial for your Online Authority, but it is also great for Search Engine Optimization!
5. Connect With Other Websites In Your Industry. Networking is probably one of the most important tools that every single Marketer has available to them. The funny thing is that a lot of Marketers don’t take advantage of Networking in their field or even at all; therefore, cannot benefit from all the rewards! Knowing other people is one of your greatest weapons and that is why you always hear about lucky people who become successful because of friends in high places.

Start building your Online Reputation and try to work your way to the top. There are certain niches that are virtually untouched online and it is only a matter of time before they become swamped! Your best bet is to try and be the first to launch a Website in a specific niche and you are bound to become the Online Authority!
