3 Things To Remember Before Making Money Online



Now that you have established your site theme or blog concept, here are the things that you have to remember:


1. Invest Money, Time and Energy


There is no such thing as free money. To make money, you have to spend money or you have to work for it. You have to invest time and energy.


You will spend money for getting online. You need computer set and internet connection at minimum. You need time and energy to think and to write your ideas. You also need time to research online and offline to challenge and to expand your ideas.


2. Learn Keyword Optimization


Keyword optimization of your blog articles is highly essential to make it easy for the search engines to include your blog in their listings. Keyword optimization means that you have to use the keyword phrases use by the search engine users in searching for products, information or ideas. These search engine users will be your prospective visitors or readers.


For example, the search engine user is looking for “easy money making ideas”, he/she will type that keyword phrase in Google, Yahoo or Microsoft Live Search Box and click Search. Then, Google, Yahoo or Live will display the pages that list web sites and blogs prominently discussing the keyword phrase “easy money making ideas”. If your blog or web site is optimized for that keyword phrase, then it will be included in the list. So, the search engine users will browse that page and click to the sites or blogs that will attract him/her.


See this example:


Google search engine listing for easy money making ideas


In that Google search engine listing, there are more than 21 million pages containing the keyword phrase “easy money making ideas”. The top 10 web sites or blogs are displayed in the first page. Most of the search engine users will click those on the first page. That's how important keyword optimization is. Learn more on keyword optimization here.
