7 Things You Can Do to Make Money

Our Sunday tele-rally was a blast! On the call we defined the journey, told you how you could join as a participant or fan, and revealed seven ways that you can make money now.

Yesterday, I told you how to sign up for a Clickbank account. Well, today I reactivated my eHow, Ezine and Associated Content accounts to start earning more passive income. (Kim also has an Associated Content account with some great articles.) I know it may look like things are going really slow right now (and, frankly, it feels that way too), but I'm positioning myself. I currently have a blog, Single Mom and More, and I'm hardly making any money on that site. But, I learned through a teleseminar yesterday that I can take the content from my blog and post them to all three of those sites and get paid. I was trying to get paid on my site, and then my plan was to cross-post. Man, was I doing things backwards.

Once I get my blog posts migrated to those sites and others, I don't have to do anything else to them. People will find them through search engines and my newsletters. And I'll make money. It won't be much at first, but I'm creating e-products, cross-promoting, creating links, and much more. And over time, all of these little things will add up, and become something much bigger. I'll make it so that they all work together.

In the meantime, I want to recap the seven things we identified on Sunday's call that you can do to make money:

1. Capitalize on social media (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn)
2. Create a blog and monetize it
3. MLMs
4. Use your job as a multiple income stream
5. Take surveys
6. Identify your strengths
7. Finish what you started

Tina, Kim and I are going to blog about these things in great detail, so make sure you're subscribed to this blog. Also, invite friends to join the Millionaire Journey fan page on Facebook. We want to encourage you as you encourage us.

Until next time, see you on the journey.

How to Make Money with Clickbank

One of the ways that we identified to make money online is through Clickbank. Clickbank is a marketplace where people can either sell their e-goods or sign up to sell other people's e-goods. Most people have at least one product of their own to sell that can be downloaded without needing any part of it to be physically shipped. But even if you don't, you can still be an affiliate.

As part of my effort to identify--and take advantage of--all possible revenue streams, I reactivated my Clickbank account. I signed up for it over a year ago, but never used it. In other words, that's a year's worth of passive income that I could have been generating. But, no sense in crying over spilled milk.

So, looking ahead, here's how you can also start making money through Clickbank:

1. Visit: http://www.clickbank.com/, and decide if you want to be an affiliate (promote products), or a vendor (sell products). Clickbank will then send all of your sign-up information via email.
2. Identify a niche. Search the Clickbank marketplace to see what categories are available. Tailor your e-goods (ebooks, software) to fit categories that are not already filled with similar items. Also, give your products a fresh angle that will make it different from any similar products.
3. As a vendor, you will need to register for a seller's account. Pay the startup fee and have your account confirmed.
4. Create a website, landing page or newsletter to advertise your product. Write a sales letter or page that accurately describes the product and what it can do for the buyer. Use highly-searched keywords in order to get search engine traffic to your page.
5. Submit your page and your product to Clickbank for approval. Take the Clickbank payment links provided to you from the site and put them onto the sales letter or website.
6. Choose a price for your item. When doing so, take into consideration the percentage of each sale that will go to anyone who sells the item on your behalf. You'll set that amount as well.
7. Market your item in forums, blogs, websites, and newsletters.

Let's make some money on this millionaire journey.
