Dear reader-friend of Open Company, today we will talk about
the truth behind the phrase typed by many people: how to work on the internet .
I state that I use this expression only for a technical
fact of SEO
I don't like the expression making money, I much prefer to
use " opening a successful online business thanks to one's passions
".
Unfortunately, however, I have to adapt to the Italian
market and write this article using this bad expression.
If you follow the blog, you know that I don't miss an opportunity
to criticize the web gurus who promise everyone to get rich without effort and
competence.
These are scams for the simple fact that there is no easy
money, but business opportunities born thanks to the web.
Everyone is looking for a smart way to make money
online but only a few succeed.
The fact is quite simple to understand: there is no easy way
to make money on the internet. There are opportunities and a spirit of
initiative, not fraudulent shortcuts.
If you've come across this article looking for an easy way
to earn money on the internet, I recommend that you leave this blog forever.
If instead you are a serious person, tired of working for
others, and you want to become a serious entrepreneur
, then you are my friend and blog.
It is possible to make money online only by creating real
value for the customer, and with a pinch of will it is not that difficult to
achieve the goal.

HOW TO WORK ON THE INTERNET: THE GUIDE TO
OPEN COMPANY
After this
brief but necessary premise, let's see together the opportunities offered by
the web to earn on the internet in a serious and honest way.
This article explains how to go from an
idea to its realization.
Are you
ready?
Then let's
go !!!
It Starts From The Business Idea
The world
has gone from the stone age to the industrial revolution thanks to the need to
solve problems.
From the
invention of the wheel to social networks, our society is based entirely on
meeting needs.
With the
advent of the internet, thousands of new opportunities have sprung up and not
seizing them would be a mistake.
I myself,
thanks to the blog, manage to reach an audience once unattainable.
With these
two factors in mind, needs and the public, we can begin a path aimed at
creating a concrete and profitable online business.
Obviously this path is born from an idea.
Take the
example of the great entrepreneurs of the web: thanks to an idea (to connect
the students of Harvard University) and a need (to keep in touch with distant
friends), Zuckerberg managed to change the world.
The driving
force of the world is ideas and if you want to make money on the internet you
must have one.
It doesn't
necessarily have to be innovative, you can also take one already made and improve
it in an extraordinary way.
Or you can
fill the smaller niches left by the big giants.
Take
Amazon's example: selling everything to everyone doesn't necessarily mean
selling better.
Every big
business has its limits and you can fill them.
Maybe you
won't sell everything, but you can become the best at selling children's books
for example. The more specific your idea, the more the opportunities to emerge
increase.
Alternatively,
you can bet on a system already tested in other countries and import it from
country to country.
Very
significant is the case of a boy who
alone founded a giant of online commerce in Cambodia , a country ignored by
major companies.
The truth
is, making money on the internet is not
impossible.
The chance
of success depends only on your determination and perseverance.
There are
thousands of obstacles in front of you, but you can overcome them one after the
other if you love what you do.
This is the
secret of success !!!
During my
travels, I discovered the best way to get business ideas is the trip itself.
Are you
curious to know what is the secret to having always new ideas?
The answer
is easier than you think.
You don't
have to go upside down to increase blood supply to the brain, the one and only
way to have successful business ideas is to travel .
When I speak
of travel I don't speak of the tourism touched and escape.
Traveling is
not synonymous with vacation, traveling means becoming chameleons and turning
into something new, living like a foreigner and immersing yourself in the new
culture.
As you
travel, open your mind and you will find that there is no more powerful tool
than an open mind .
Traveling I
discovered that it is possible to invent a job from one's passions by
exploiting the potential of the internet.
When you
travel to countries where technology is now a reality in everyday life, such as
the United Kingdom, you discover that many ideas can be imported from abroad
here to us in Italy.
Travel with
curiosity and attention to detail, the ideas for making money on the internet
are endless.
WORK ONLINE
THANKS TO YOUR AUDIENCE
The best way to earn money online is to
always create new content.
Becoming an
authoritative blogger in your niche is not difficult if driven by competence
and passion.
Expertise
because your blog must be built on a professional basis, passion because you
must love what you do.
Open Company
is having moderate success with you readers because I love what I do.
I love to
read, write and help when I can.
This means
that I can show my passion to the reader.
You have to
do the same with your audience.
Building an
online audience involves several stages.
The first,
but not least, inevitably passes through the creation of content of value to
others.
Yes, you got
it right, for the others.
I'll be
honest, nobody cares about your holidays or how happy you are with your new
partner.
If you want
to open an online diary, you can do it, but don't think about earning it. A
blog with entrepreneurial intent must have an eye to solving problems.
I am a
strong supporter of Karma: do good and good will come back to you.
Obviously,
creating an audience doesn't just have romantic aspects. The technical aspect
of blog growth requires a lot of time commitment.
Content
research, creation and dissemination will take you many hours of your life.
This content
does not have to be post-written.
You can use
videos, photos, social networks, infographics.
The second
phase of creating your own online visibility is to retain the reader .
At this
point, a nice + on the button I deserve it is not it? It's free for you, I
understand if I write useful things
You cannot
aspire to the Olympus of web
entrepreneurs without giving your availability.
Reply to
emails, participate in discussions, you just have to be yourself to help
without asking for anything in return.
I do this
and my blog continues to grow.
and it works
for me, I don't see why it shouldn't.
The only
emails I don't reply to are those of arrogant and rude people, I warn you that
they are there, you don't give them weight and continue for those who
appreciate your work.
The blog is
just one of the methods to make money online, but any business you want to
start I recommend you plan one inside.
Working Online: The Business Model
Traveling
and dreaming ideas, maybe we could all live like this.
The reality
of things brings us inexorably to the crude truth: money is needed.
Every work
idea essentially needs two things: a person (you) determined to make it happen
and a functioning business model.
But what is
a business model?
The business
model is nothing more than your strategy in creating value and how to monetize
this value.
Making money
on the internet doesn't mean stealing
someone's credit card credentials or spamming.
Earning
online means building a reputation on the web and selling your quality services
or products. There are no secrets.
The earning
models working on the net are different but you have to be very careful which
one you choose.
As you have
already read on the net, making money with advertising is difficult, almost
impossible for many niche blogs. In fact, to generate noteworthy income you
must have a considerable web traffic.
However, if
your blog is strongly tied to the territory, the discussion changes.
Imagine
having the most popular blog in your city: many merchants will have a strong
interest in your review, such as a local or a small shop.
This speech
brings us back to the importance of the market niche discussed in the previous
article.
On the web,
as in real life, there is a strong interconnection between the various aspects,
links that are sometimes difficult to read and decipher but exist.
With the
characteristics of each business model chosen in mind, these are the main ones
to follow to make money online.
WORKING ON
THE INTERNET: IDEAS
Obviously
one does not exclude the other, indeed making them work together is very
convenient.
1.Advertising
not managed by us;
As mentioned
above, to generate noteworthy income with the advertising circuit par
excellence ( Adsense ) you need to have many visitors.
However Adsense becomes interesting even
for small niche blogs.
To be
successful and increase blog traffic, all you have to do is write long articles
(no less than 1000 words) for a minimum period of 1 year.
In this year
of work in the dark you will not see any results, your blog has no ranking and
backlinks, you are not anyone for Google and he proves it by placing you behind
all the others.
However, if
you continue and don't give up, you will prove to the search engines, and to
yourself, that you are a stubborn type who won't give up.
Then your
efforts will be recognized. If it were easy, we would all be famous bloggers
and would genuinely lose interest.
Don't even
think about signing up for Adsense before reaching the minimum quota of 500-1000
unique visitors per day.
Having 100,
200 visitors doesn't mean you can't make money online , it just means you have
to choose other strategies.
2. Sell advertising banners directly
Without ever
giving up hope, and of course never giving up, if you can write at least 100
really useful posts for your niche, you can aim to achieve results in the short
term.
Selling
advertising directly from your site is possible if your site is heavily
targeted.
The customer
is interested in buying the banner or sponsored item if he can earn from the investment. In USA,
unfortunately, web culture is not as widespread as it should be.
Many People
are losing the Internet train out of mistrust and ignorance (understood in the
good sense of the term).
Indian entrepreneurs are hesitant to
invest on the internet, they cannot understand that the internet is not just
multilevel marketing and credit card cloning.
Any business
can and must benefit from the enormous advantages offered by the web.
I appeal to
entrepreneurs: if a young man knocks on your door offering you a banner on the
site in exchange for a few euros, know that your ROI (return on investment)
will certainly be positive.
How can we
offer our web spaces to an entrepreneur? First of all you must have a website
with a simple and professional graphic layout (you can do it yourself as I
did).
Second,
introduce your site via email by providing traffic and reference niche data.
Highlight the benefits of the investment and offer short-term packages.
3. Indirect affiliations
There are
many indirect affiliate circuits, that is, subscribe to the many programs
present and promote products of companies without having direct contact with
them.
The most
famous circuits to affiliate are Amazon and Zanox .
Affiliate
consists of inserting links to products or companies and obtaining a percentage
for each sale generated through your affiliate link.
Even for
this business model, however, it needs a lot of visitors. The average Italian
customer does not show much gratitude and prefers to buy directly from the
site.
This culture
derives mainly from not wanting to trust, from thinking that they are always
fooling us when in truth there are many better people around than we think.
This fear of
the other is fueled every day by mass media terrorism. If you focus on the evil
of the world, you will start thinking bad about everyone.
The truth
is, good people are everywhere.
4. Direct affiliation
Do you know
a blogger who has written a guide or who offers an interesting service? Well,
ask him if he is willing to collaborate with you by offering you a% in exchange
for the promotion of his product by you. Obviously the product will have to be
of interest to your niche.
5. Selling an ebook or guide
This is the
method I prefer because you sell your product.
Writing your
own ebook helps you grow as a professional and become an expert. Writing a book
is challenging but rewarding. The creation of your guide, in addition to
generating an income, will help you build a brand around your person.
6.Consulenza;
Through a
website you can sell your knowledge to others. You can sell your time by the
hour, don't be greedy, ask for a reasonable price and don't be too
time-consuming.
When I do my
consultations I don't think about money but I think about how to be as useful
as possible. When I start a speech I finish it even if the hour has passed. It
doesn't matter, you can't leave troubleshooting halfway, if you start a job,
get it done.
7.E-commerce;
Does your
business include an e-commerce?
Well, with
WordPress you can open your successful online store at practically zero costs.
Of course, if you want an attractive look you will need a web designer and a
professional graphic designer, but first I recommend you start from a blog.
A good
e-commerce must be intuitive, clear, fast and above all accompanied by long and
detailed product descriptions. This text, in addition to the explanation to the
customer, you need to position
yourself on search engines.
8. Freelance services
What can you
offer companies on the web? Are you a writer, a photographer, a videomaker?
Whatever your skills are, offer them on the web on platforms such as Elance or
Freelancer .
9.Start up
The start-up
phenomenon, sometimes inflated, hides an immense possibility of gain. To found
an innovative company and be successful, you have to intercept a real
unexpressed need.
Do not be
demoralized if your idea is already present in other markets, focused on
becoming the best in your area.
To start a
start up you must be a good team player and organize a close-knit team around
the project. At least a start up must have a leader, a good seller and a
programmer.
10. Premium content
Provide a
part of your site accessible only to subscribers. Offer this service only after
creating a complete and truly useful blog otherwise no one will pay for premium
content.
THE SECRETS TO WORKING ON THE INTERNET
All of us
are able to start a blog and write articles.
Instead,
only a few manage to create real value for the reader. I don't know what
category I belong to, you have to tell me, however I am sure that my work has
been liked by about 1000 people.
I say this
because I received thanks and compliments. Receiving nice words is always nice
and when I started the blog I didn't expect them.
If you want
to make money on the internet (how I hate this expression but the search
engines want it) you must become a friend and a companion before an
entrepreneur.
It is true,
many make money online with innovative ideas and miraculous companies, but we
cannot all aspire to such results. Instead I speak for 100% of the people who
read.
We can all
become useful to others, just wanting to and never giving up.
Another
secret to being followed online, and therefore making money, is being
extraordinary. Extraordinary in the literal sense of the word
"non-ordinary".
If you limit
your actions to things already seen, you will be one of many. You have to find
the way to uniqueness, associate your name with a particular niche inexorably.
Except for
the Seo niche, practically all topics are free. Sport, fashion, clothing,
travel, work, personal growth, reading, business services.
Some niches
already have their leaders, this does not exclude that you can carve out your
small circle of loyal readers-friends.
Because for
me, before a reader you are also a friend (obviously not everyone, I hate those
who pretend but fortunately they are very few).
Over the
years of Open Company, I have tested different strategies for making money
online, among the various paths taken, I understood that mine was based on the
creation of free content taking constant consideration of web-marketing strategies.
If you are
curious, I have described all the way in my ITS guide, Idea Traffic Sold i, if
you want to create a business on the web, reading is HIGHLY recommended.
To download
it, go to the presentation page by clicking the link below.
ITS MONEY
TRAFFIC IDEA
HOW TO WORK ON THE INTERNET: CONCLUSION
So, at this
point, do you want to make money with the internet or not?
Are you
ready to sacrifice evening outings and entertainment to throw yourself into the
world of online business?
Every day
e-commerce grows, what are you doing watching others pass you by?
This is not
the motto of the Open Company blog.
Here we are
a tenacious group that does not give up in front of anything. Our happiness has
a price, I decided to pay and you?
