You might think that starting a daily deal website is not a wise idea, especially when you have giants like Groupon.com or Google offers in the market, while another bigwig (i.e. Facebook) has shown some interest by launching Facebook deals in the past (was dropped but you never know when they’ll decide to step in again with an even better program).

It’s true that it will take quite some resources and guts to even think of competing with any of these giants, but there’s one simple strategy that can help you start a daily deal website and still make some money, and that is to start a daily deal website that focuses on the deals offered only by businesses in your city or country. By focusing solely on your local business, you can capture a big share of market, because even though the biggies like groupon.com cater more than 400 regions, they are not equally strong in all of those regions, and there’s no reason why you couldn’t start one that focuses on the local businesses and triumph over these giants.

Following is a simple plan laid out for those who are looking for a nice business idea to make money online.

#1 – Finance:

Starting an online business used to be a low-cost undertaking, but the times have changed, and now you need substantial budget to start with.

• One of the major expenses is going to be the marketing, remember that a daily-deal website should be advertised to businesses and consumers, so you’ll have to spend a sizeable amount on both online and offline marketing.
• Any such website will take quite some time before it gains momentum, which means you need to bear the expenses of website hosting and maintenance, and more importantly the marketing with little or no income coming your way.

So, you’ve got to have the capital in hand.

#2- Plan:

You don’t need to have a very complex plan, but still having some line of action is necessary before starting any business.

• While planning for a discount or daily deal website, you’ll have to decide on both short term and long term goals. You will have to decide if you are looking to cover the entire country or some particular cities, you can also zoom in to some specific type of businesses, for example restaurants.

Answers to all of these questions will depend largely on the size of market and the kind of resources you have. You should also decide if you will be featuring the brick and mortar businesses, or online stores by sharing discounts like diamond.com coupons or autotrader coupons.

#3 – Website:

Once you’ve lined up the funds and resources, the first thing to go for is the website. A daily-deal or coupon website needs to be attractive, colorful, engaging, and at the same time it shouldn’t appear clustered. If you are catering many localities or cities, you have got to lay out good navigation and categories.

• It’ll be good to add some articles or a blog alongside the deals to help both businesses and consumers on how to make the most of discounts and special deals.
• Remember that you’ve got to be equally sincere with both businesses and consumers; inclining towards any of these parties will turn out to be an obstruction.

Learn the steps to build profitable coupon blog.

#4 – Marketing:

Here comes the most important part, as stated earlier, you’ve got to market your service to both businesses and consumers with equal ferocity.

• You can start from targeting the popular restaurants and lure them into offering special discounts. To convince these businesses, you’ll have to prove that your website is not an anonymous entity on the internet.
• In order to do that, you will need to have some sales representative visiting and meeting the owners in person, because the majority of small business owners are not quite familiar with the power of Internet and social media, and you will be getting a cold shoulder more often than not.

It’s better if you can allow the businesses to offer a discount and get promoted on your website for free in the start.

Once you show some results and your website gets established, more and more businesses will be keen to use this platform, and that will be time for you to reap the benefits of all the hard work.

There are lot of opportunities available for a blogger to expand the scope of a blog into a business.

• Even i started smaller and today, i am slowly expanding this blog into a business. At the same time, i never comprise in serving people with good content and to solve their problems everywhere possible.

As a beginner, i am sure that you are currently struggling to drive traffic to your blog. And also, you are expecting to make money from your blog and that is not happening as expected. That’s why you are reading this article today.

I would recommend you to read my another article on how to start money making as blogger ? if you are not fully aware of blogging as a business and the steps.

All you need is traffic, traffic and traffic….

That’s the very basic requirement for a blog to grow and to earn you money. Without traffic, your blog is nothing and its dead. Now coming your question, how much traffic you need ?

This is a vague question that we could not easily find an answer because the amount of traffic varies from blog-to-blog and market-to-market. Even there a blogs which are getting less traffic and making great income or blogs which are getting lot of traffic and no income. There are lot of people facing this problem, have a look on this forum thread – huge traffic but no money.

My answer is: there are “no fixed traffic limit” and quantity doesn’t matters.

In other way, think towards how do your monetize your existing traffic and how to grow the traffic further ?

I hope when we are able to find an answer for these questions – you could become more clear about your “traffic need”.

#1 – Fix Your Traffic Goal.

It is clear that traffic is required for your blog now. Go and find out, how much traffic your blog gets today from your analytic today. As a recommendation, if you are not using Google Analytics integrate it first – GA really helps a lot in analyzing your blogs traffic deeper.

Fix traffic goals. Fix it based on your today’s traffic either to reach 10 times or 20 times more traffic.

• For example, if you are getting 100 visitors per day then fix your goal to reach 1000-2000 visitors per day. Yes, you have to fix a big target then only you could achieve at least 50% of it.

Think yourself that, with today’s traffic you could not do anything and now you are becoming more serious with your blog as a Real business. This way, you will become more productive and work hard to reach your traffic goal.

I have a goal to reach 100K page views !

#2 – Learn To Write a Lot.

Content is still King.

Great contents are recognized by people and search engines. Content is the major source of traffic for any web site especially from search engines. Search engines users are the real people who are looking for information. When you are able to serve those information, you could bring in lot of real people to your blog.

Schedule your blog post and write regularly to your blog. The more useful content you add, more people will come to read naturally.

#3 – Solve Real Problems.

Most of the Internet users are information seekers and they are looking to solve their problems or to clear their doubts. Every market or every topic has problems every day and people do search from Google or Bing.

The day you started solving problems, your blog is becoming a resource center.

Once you satisfied a reader with your solution, they will come back to your blog again and again. Your blog will get recognized in the world and people will appreciate it.

List down all the problems and write articles on those problems – your traffic automatically grows.

#3 – Market Effectively.

Content brings in traffic however, without marketing your content becomes useless. When you are ready to take your blog to next level, you have to make a detailed plan first. Yes, how you are going to bring in traffic and what are the sources.

The best approach: spread your blog link through out Internet naturally. You could get networked with fellow bloggers and ask them to link your blog or write guest post in a similar blog to attract more readers.

Marketing has to continue through out the life cycle of your blog.

• Learn to market your blog from scratch and also, learn the steps to brand your blog which helps to prove that you are a professional blogger.

#4 – Monetize Effectively.

As i mentioned earlier, you could easily monetize your existing traffic.

See through Google Analytics and find, what are the pages which gets more traffic. Monetize it.

You could link an affiliate product from these pages from the end of your blog post – this quickly drives targeted visitors to the sales page and you will start making money sooner.

Monetize at least the top 5 to 10 pages first and see the results.

• As recommendation, when you have less traffic say less than 200 visitors per day – don’t go for PPC based ads like Google Adsense. Instead, sell affiliate products where you could easily make big money than running PPC ads.
• Go through my another articles on when to monetize a new blog ? and how to monetize a new blog ?

To conclude, fix your traffic goals, write lot of articles solving real problems in your topic, market and monetize your blog effectively.

For now, forget your today’s traffic and start your work to reach your new traffic goal……..your blog automatically makes money.

Good Luck !

• how much traffic you need to make money

You are a 20 year old person that has no job and lives with his parents. You waste all of your time sitting in front of the computer doing nothing. You don’t have a girl friends or boy friends, because lets face it who would want to be with a person that is to lazy to get their but of the chair. There is only way to change your life, and if you were thinking about creating a blog or website and making money from it, then you are right. So what do you have to do ? I will explain.

1. Create a Blog or Website

Since you are wasting so much time in front of the computer, you can go to Google and search for some information on how to create a website or a blog that will help you with your earnings. It’s not hard, because you have ready blogs like Blogger.com and WordPress.com. If you want to create a website by using HTML or PHP you can always go and download DreamWeaver. This program helps you create a website without wanting you to understand anything from HTML. Take your time with your creation, this way you will be sure that your website’s design is going to look good for the eye of the readers.

• Before actually starting with the creation of the website or blog you can pick the topic of them. What do you want them to be about.

2. Apply For Google Adsense

When you create your amazing blog or website, that has original content (remember this) you can apply for Google Adsense. Google Adsense will put advertisements on your website or blog and will give you money for every click you are getting on the ad and for all of the page views you get. Applying for Google Adsense can be really hard for some poeple, when it’s actually really simple.

You have to remember only two things:

• You have to write only original content (write everything on your own).
• The navigation of your site must not be hard, don’t use pop-ups or stuff like that, a sitemap will help for Google’s bot to search your whole website.

3. Apply For Amazon associates

Here it’s way more simple. You only apply, that’s all and you get accepted. Amazon associates works the same way as Google Adsense, putting advertisements on your blog or website about their products. When somebody buys those products that you are advertising, you receive up to 15% of the money from that exact product.

Time vs Money !

4. Wait For It

When your done with everything it’s time for the hardest part. Waiting for your blog to grow. By that I don’t mean to sit back and wait something magical to happen. By that i mean to be patient.

• You will have to help your self with increasing your traffic, so you get more money. Advertise your self. Guest blog, anything do something to increase you blog\website traffic.

Thank you for reading this post. I hope this has helped you. Leave a comment, if you have any other ideas that will help out the bloggers that want to win money online.

When there are opportunities available in this world, why don’t you try something new ?

In life, when you are taking new things, you feel happy, you feel secured and it gives satisfaction too. Setting up an extra money system is not so hard in this world. You already have a computer and an Internet connection, that’s a great capital. Yes, with your computer you could do many things to earn extra sitting from home.

I am not explaining a “get rich” kind of stuff, keep in mind: when you need income, you have to work.

Some times, you have to work hard too. From my past experience, i would say when you have Time and basic Knowledge about online business, you could definitely earn. Dedicating time with the right knowledge is required here.

This article helps you people to understand the various opportunities to make extra money from your home and definitely, don’t expect to become rich sooner.

First, Do You Have Extra Time ?

The very first question to you: Do you have enough time to work ?

Will you be able to sit in front of your computer for at least 1-2 hours per day ?

If yes, you are qualified.

Because time is more important than anything else in the world. People do start their work and they could not continue it due to lack of time. When you are already working in a day job, you have to prepare yourself to find extra time. Plan your day. Allocate time for online works. Don’t just take it lighter, think your online business jobs are same like the real day job then only you could dedicate time. At the same time, when you are full time in home, prepare yourself to sit in front of the computer, that’s it.

Opportunities To Make Extra Money.

The are many opportunities for an individual to make extra money by working from home. Online works are highly comfortable to you and your lifestyle because you could work anytime as well as you could work from anywhere (even from outside your home). That’s great right ?

The opportunities that i am going to explain in this article are “nothing new” and “non-get rich” kind of opportunity. So don’t expect to make too much of money.

As we are speaking about online business for beginners, you must understand about the investments too. Every business definitely needs an investment in terms of money and hard work. Here you don’t need larger investment, even with less than $100 you could setup your online business.

It is also possible to start with $0 investment however, you have to sit and work hard.

Sell Your Knowledge – Online Jobs.

The very first method is freelancing. Its about working with “virtual Internet office” similar to real world office. Basically, you have to get hired by virtual employers and get paid for the work done. All you need to sell your skill set.

• For example, if you already know graphics design then you could advertise yourself as a graphics designer in a freelance web site. Employers, when they see your profile matching their requirements, you may get hired. And you will be assigned with graphic designing works. You have to complete the work on-time with quality output as expected. Finally, you will be paid. You will be paid per hour basis or some times based on the completion of assigned tasks too. Understand more about freelancing….

If you are thinking this as large scale business, you could open your own service business over Internet. Setup a web site, tell about your skills and experience. Tell people that you are available as paid server for them.

Start Developing Smart Phone Apps.

Its smart phone era and people are going crazy behind handheld applications. iPhone and Ardroid phones are already popular in the market. People are ready to spend money to download their favorite apps.

• You work here is: to develop creative apps. A simple app which solves any user problem would be great. If you charge $1 per download and if your app gets 1K download, you make will $1K !

The steps are damn simple:

• Have a creative app idea which solves a problem (say, a money planner app).
• Develop the app (design, coding, testing). You could hire a developer from freelancing web sites or develop yourself (if you do programming).
• Upload to app store (Apple store or Android store) and get approved.
• Find app related web stores on Internet, contact them and promote your app for more downloads.
• Done.

Start Your Own Blog/Web Site.

Sounds like a wired job ? Its easy to own a web site. All you have to buy a domain name (web site name) and the space to store the content (web hosting). It costs less than $100. Other option, you could start a free blog from blogger.com.

• Select a topic where you have in-depth knowledge or you love to write more.
• Setup your own blog from blogger.com.
• Write useful articles on the topic.
• Continue to write for few months.
• Your blog attracts visitors.
• Run advertisements, sell downloadable products on your blog.
• Continue this process…. Sounds simple ?

However, it is not so simple and building a successful blog requires lot of dedication.

I have written more than 400 articles in this blog (as of today), still i am growing & helping people.

Sell Digital Products (for Commission).

The year old method of making extra money…that’s selling digital products on Internet. Generally, people call it as affiliate marketing. Its a simple strategy.

• Join an affiliate network like Clickbank, Amazon, CJ etc.
• Pick a digital product (get your own referral link for that product).
• Make people to click on your link and buy that product.
• Earn commissions for each sale you drive.

For example, at the rate of 25% commission, if you sell 100 products you will make 25 x 100 = $2500.

The toughest part is making people to buy from your link. It requires lot of wise marketing effort.

Why People Fail To Make Extra Income ?

Make it yours...

When heard about online business opportunities, every one will get dreams in their mind. People do think about becoming rich and making money at short time.

In general, their Expectations are more. In practical, that’s not the truth and you could not make money without doing any work, it takes little time. Same like the real world scenario, when you do work then only you could earn. Don;t have that mind set, put your mind in learning mode.

Explore the real steps involved in it and trust yourself. Spend quality time, do it with confidence, for sure you could setup a system yourself which makes you extra money every month.

Learn to avoid beginner mistakes which helps you to avoid them yourself in this earlier stage.

In general, when you want to setup a successful online business, definitely you have to spend Quality time. Similar to that of a real world business, you have to work hard to make everything success. But there are certain advantages of online business when compared to real world business.

• Out of those advantages, “work at anytime” and “work from anywhere” are the two golden terms of online business.

Yes, its greatly flexible that you could work at your own convenient time as well as you could operate your online business sitting from anywhere in this world. In fact, there are no boundaries for your online business. Its a business to the world instead of geographical region (at many cases).

For those who are reading my blog from past well know that, Time & Knowledge are the two critical parameters or requirements for an beginner to operate/start an online business. This article is to discuss or to understand how much time you really have to spend for an online business ?

As a beginner, i want to you understand how far online business is simpler ? in terms of investing your precious Time.

I Don’t Have Time.

Find Your Time...

As an individual, you may be working on a day job already. And you need an extra income to survey financially in this world. If you are such a person then almost 90% of you guys will tell: “i don’t have time”. I would say, they are lazy people.

Effective time management helps you to break out that barrier and helps in finding time for an online business. Working with an online business, for example: if you want to run your own website business it hardly requires 1-2 hours of work per day.

You could not find 1-2 hours per day ? Think….

Check this article: Lazy Money For Lazy Peoples Without Any Work Making Money From Internet Is Possible ?

Finding Availability of Time.

I am not an expert in Time management but business guru’s knows well to “find time”. Finding time is all about “planning the day”. When you plan, you will clearly understand what you are doing every day. And it helps you to find the gaps.

Again this depends on the individual’s lifestyle. You may be working 8 hours in an office and spending 4-6 hours with your family. Or even you may spend 12 hours in your office. Or even already doing a full time business.

When you started planning and “giving priorities to your work”, you could find spare time.

So find time….

It Depends on Online Business Type.

Internet has wide opportunities for making money. As a beginner, don’t just get into one. Instead, find out what are all the options ? and see, what really works for you ?

I would always suggest blogging, affiliate marketing, freelancing as the major online works through my blog. An article which compares these 3 methods may help you to quickly take a decision. Don’t miss it !

Do you have any courses to gain online business knowledge ?

• Yes, of course you could take a copy of MMM Affiliate Course, Blogging Blue Print as a first step in gaining expert knowledge.

Scheduling To Spend Quality/Serious Time.

As mentioned earlier, online business involves considerably equal investment of hard work like real world business. So don’t take it simple. Just be serious on what you are doing and try to spend quality time for an online business. You could not become rich in a day or two, it definitely requires you to sit and work. You have to explore, learn new stuffs and apply it every day in order to start making money.

At least, if you are able to spend only 5-10 hours per week, don’t worry about less time but spend it worthy. Time is precious and as an individual definitely you need to spend quality Time to build a successful online business yourself.

Extra Monthly Income.

Maximize Like This...

Keep Revenue Aside.

When it comes to beginners, the most common mistake, they want to earn quickly. Do that possible with blogging ? The answer is NO. As i mentioned earlier, blogging needs more dedication and hard work. You have to be focused towards the blog growth. Keep money aside and work only towards the blog growth. Many people monetize their blog from the day one. I am against that strategy, i believe growth first and money second.

Even after 1.5 years, i have not fully monetized this blog. Because i am working slowly for the growth, moreover i work on my spare time only (part-time entrepreneur). What i am saying is concentrate on the blog growth interms of producing useful content, driving more traffic and finally, money rolls in automatically.

Diversifying Blog Revenue.

In general, beginners start with Google Adsense and they struggle to make money. It takes month-over-month to get your first cheque. Adsense doesn’t works well in the earlier stage of your blog. It needs more traffic so that many people has to click on the Ads. Even I don’t run Adsense in this blog. You should always diversify your revenue from various sources. Don’t stick to Adsense. Similar, don’t stick to clickbank or CJ.

• There are variety of Ad/Affiliate networks make a different try. Its highly dependent on the niche where you are blogging, one program may work and the other may not work. I have a great list of Money making programs here, have a look to diversify.
• Also, learn to Setup your blog into money making system (it suggests you various ideas too).

Experimentation.

Experiments are part of every business. If you don’t want to experiment, it means you are not ready to grow. Because when you do experiments, you will get more ideas and insights. It actually improves your blog.

For example, take 2 affiliate products and promote on your blog. See which product performs good, keep it and drop the poor performing product. Now select another product and continue the experiment. Over a period of time, you will be having the best selling products only. Thats the effect of experimentation.

It actually takes time but the results are huge for the long term. If you are specifically looking for affiliate sales, learn how to experiment affiliate product sales ?
