How to Really Make Money Online in 7 Hot Niches With Hungry Buyers

If you want to learn how to really make money online this article was written for you. There are actually a lot of different ways in which you can begin a home based business, but this article focuses on the seven hottest niches available today. You'll learn which niches are the best to get into and how to make money by selling products to those niches over and over again.

How can I make money? That's a valid question and it's one that's asked by hundreds-of-thousands of people every day, but very few of those people become successful because they don't want to put in the time that's required. There are only a few rules you must follow to create an online income. They're not very hard to follow or execute, but they do require you to 'work'.

The first thing you have to learn is that it takes action to become successful. You have to work hard at acquiring leads then send those leads your offer. Almost every training program that offers a make money online opportunity requires you to install an opt-in email form directly on your website.

The email opt-in form is your ticket to create wealth, or at the very least, a decent income which will allow you to quit your current job and begin working from home full-time. The best niches that have been proven to be the most profitable are the following: Dating, Weight Loss, Self-Improvement, WindowsRegistry Repair, How To Make Money Online, Quit Smoking, Increase Your GasMileage.

To make money online you have to create a website in any of those niches to reach a highly targeted audience. The seven industries that are mentioned above are the highest paying niches available. They each have a group of people that are willing to spend money on products which will help them solve a problem.

For example, the dating niche is extremely profitable simply because it is human nature for people to want to find a partner to share their life with. If you can create a 'how to find a girlfriend' ebook or video, or even a dating website, you will have access to a hungry group of consumers that are ready to buy your products.

The weight loss niche and all the other niches that are mentioned in this article are each money making areas in which you can create a steady stream of income. Each niche has its own challenges, but you can get leads with your email opt-in form. The good news is that it doesn't have to cost you any money to get started.

You can go to Blogger.com to create a free blog and there are several email marketing companies which will allow you to create and install an email opt-in form on your website for free. Wordpress.com also offers free blogs so you have a choice as to which platform you want to use.


What you want to do is give something away for free as an incentive for people to give you their email address. After you've collected a few hundred or a few thousand email addresses, you can then send each person on your list a 'special' offer at least once a week. That's how you really make money online. You provide value via a free product then you send 'special' offers to people on your list.

11 Things You Need to Immediately Stop Doing on Facebook

Are you getting tired of Facebook or some of the behavior of your friends on the site? Facebook is the most popular social network with over 1 billion active users. And with great popularity comes some shameful characters looking to tap into Facebook’s viral market to sell you their crappy products or scheme your money through affiliate links or worse.
So if you happen to find yourself doing any of the 11 following things, you should look to stop doing so immediately before all of your friends look to jump ship!


1. Tagging Random People in Photos
2. Cross-Posting From Twitter
3. Liking Your Own Posts
4. New Page Invites
5. App Requests
6. Suggesting Friends
7. Adding People to Random Groups
8. Off-base and Mass Messages
9. The Ridiculous Event Invite
10. Overdone Like Buttons
11. Poking People

Please stop tagging people you barely know in photos that have nothing to do with them. It’s one thing when your buddy tags you in an unphotogenic pic, then sends it out to friends for some laughs, because, hey, at least it’s you. But the people I’m talking about upload photos and tag as many people as they can to try and gin up as many likes as possible. This is a classic move by spammers so be cautious of anyone who does this. I’ve had to call out several individuals over the years, even friends for their random tagging, and you should do the same in any suspect post. Sending a personal message to them to stop could work, too, but I feel like if some goofball wants to tag me in every one of his posts, he must be looking for my input so I give it to him publicly right then and there. Yes, revenge is a dish best served cold…
Look, I understand you’re a little short on content and things to say. We all basically post the same stuff on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc. but at least have the decency to not automatically send your Twitter tweets to Facebook. For one, you’ll get much less engagement posting to Facebook via any third-party app let alone Twitter which basically disregards Facebook etiquette. If you do this, it’s a clear sign you’re not really engaged on Facebook or maybe just too lazy to post yourself, either way a fail.

So you’ve just posted the cutest cat or baby picture ever. That’s cool, I guess. But then you go ahead and like your photo too. Well, I know you already like the post, aren’t you the one who just shared the damn thing? Besides being annoyingly repetitive, the real reason people feel the need to do this is that the action of liking the post will again show up in the streaming news ticker, giving the post even more exposure (it’s potentially seen twice). These are typically the moves of self-proclaimed “social media gurus” or people who just feel insecure about their status posts.
Look, I understand you need to create a page for your business, but please stop inviting me to your half-ass Facebook pages. Instead post interesting content to your own page, share it on your profile as well (so your friends see it), and if people find it interesting they will follow. It’s almost not your fault, as creating a page and inviting all your friends can be tempting, but most of your friends won’t like your page and maybe they won’t like you anymore either. And the ones who do like it would’ve probably found it anyways without your begging them to do so. So don’t do this…

If you’re on Facebook all day playing Farmville, that should be embarrassing enough, and the last thing you should ever want to do is invite your friends and alert them to your nerdiness. And I can’t even explain to you the ill feeling I get when I receive a request to join Klout, for example, even though I’ve already registered, from one of my less intelligent friends.
Please stop suggesting I friend somebody else. You playing match-maker is a little creepy and I might start to question why you and I are friends instead. And it’s actually worse than creepy because, you see, on Facebook expert spammers pair up and start suggesting up to 50 random friends for each other. By doing this, the people they suggest will get the notification (in their friend requests) and may mistakenly think the spammers requested the friendship. In reality, the spammers want you to commit the first step by adding them as friends (essentially tricking you to friend request them). Facebook penalizes people for requesting too many friends, but spammers who pair up and suggest friends for each other escape notice since they are not actually doing the requesting.
This one’s a big pet peeve of mine. A classic text-book spam artist move, people will add you to random groups without your knowledge and all of a sudden you’re signed up for every single notification for each posts to the group. If this happens to you, make sure to leave the group or at least turn off the notifications within the group settings, as well as question the friendship with the culprit who added you. You don’t want to be the person known for doing this on Facebook, it’s a huge red flag.
Stop sending mass messages with dozens of people attached. You’ve seen these before, like “please like my page” or “vote for me in this ridiculous award I can’t win,” etc. People loathe being addressed in this style, and if you really have something to say at the very least personalize your message to each individual or, better yet, refrain altogether from sending out mass messages. After all, it’s straight out of the guide to spamming.

I’m honored you want me to come to your poetry reading in Siberia, but I’m not quite sure I’ll be able to make it. When you send mass requests to a bunch of people you don’t really know, it makes you seem inconsiderate and pretty much paints you as a spammer.
Somehow I’ve ventured over to your blog only to be greeted by an alarming pop-up Facebook “like” box baiting me to like your page. And then, when that goes away, I can barely even see your blog post because of the 100 “like” buttons strategically placed throughout your site.

Always sort of a joke, it might be time to finally retire this Facebook feature. Something just feels off every time you poke me. No matter how you cut it, there isn’t a single situation in which poking someone is acceptable.

If you are one of the millions of people committing these crimes on a daily basis, please refrain from doing so at once! You know who you are. I promise you whatever you’re trying to sell or market will have a much better chance if you come up with some honest hard-working tactics like creating or curating interesting and relevant content as opposed to relative social media douchebaggery.

5 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Marketing Niche Ebooks and How to Avoid It

Marketing your niche e-book isn't difficult when you know the pitfalls and how to avoid them.
5 of the biggest mistakes people make are:

a) trying to do everything at once,
b) designing a pretty website
c) focusing too much on selling products instead of growing their list,
d) not having a marketing plan, and
e) failing to create innovative products that sell themselves.

The biggest problem I see is people trying to do everything at once; they get confused and overwhelmed and nothing gets done. They don't know how to create an Internet business step-by-step that takes people through a funnel; they just start creating pieces that don't work because they don't understand the
function of each piece or why they are creating them. When I work with people, I get them to look at what they are trying to accomplish in a systematic way.
I then help them create the pieces that will move their customers through their funnel and get them to buy.

The second mistake people make is designing a website for looks, not sales.
One of the problems is that people are ignorant; they rely on a web designer and many of them unfortunately don't understand Internet marketing. I've seen people spend $10,000 on website design and still not have a website that works! It's
important to educate yourself so you know what you're getting in a web designer.
In any niche ebook on internet marketing you'll learn what you need to know to create an effective web site whether you work with a web designer or do it yourself! And, I promise it will save you a lot of time, money and aggravation.

The 3rd problem people make is creating too much product when they have no buyers! It's better to approach it in layers and create the products you need to get started and then create more as you go. In the meantime, you want to work on
building your list using one or two tactics at a time-not all at once. I'll help you build a successful business that works!

Another problem is people focusing on selling their e-book to the exclusion of everything else. They fail to see other opportunities and streams of income- they leave a lot of cash on the table because they don't understand how to capitalize
on it all. You will learn all the different ways you can maximize the profits.!
And finally, there are two ways to make money on the Internet, by marketing and by innovating. I think you need to do both and I can show you how so that you are considered the ONLY choice in your field. With my creative background and innovative programs, I've proved that I know how to do this and I can help you
achieve the same kind of success in your business.
