Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

It’s interesting how more and more people have been contacting me about what I do online the more and more success I start having.

I actually just spent a few hours at an old friends house teaching him how to make money online. Or how to take the first few steps at least.

And to be honest, I really have such a deep passion for teaching people how to do this stuff. But not just anyone, I only teach people who can smell the stench of freedom. If I can smell it on you that bad then I will actually teach you everything for free simply because I know exactly how it was when I was first getting started and everyone wanted to charge me like 2K for a coaching session.

I think that paying money for that stuff when you first start is kind of a waste because you don’t even know what you want to do yet or what kind of niches you want to get involved in. (unless you know Scott Hoffman, tell him I sent ya, he’ll hook ya up) What you really need is someone who can guide you and bring out your passions in life and then help bring them out and make money talking about them.

But enough about that, let’s talk about what I did with one of my good childhood friends today that helped him get started online.

This guy actually didn’t have very much knowledge about Internet Marketing but he had more than I expected. He knew about advertising on Google and that people make a lot of money selling adspace on their websites, which is actually a big step ahead of the rest.

What I really wanted to do with him is talk about basic list building strategies and affiliate marketing. Because I think that is the easiest and fastest way to start making money online. So I showed him Clickbank. The best place to find products to promote online.

Then once I explained some basic list building strategies to him and showed him how easy it was to create your affiliate link in Clickbank and promote we talked about some marketing strategies.

And this guy is a broke college kid, like I was, and didn’t really have an advertising budget so we talked about free marketing strategies like Social Media sites like Twitter and Facebook.While great techniques, for complete newbies I think the EASIEST way is to get involved with Forum Marketing.

Forum Marketing is unique because all you have to do is pop your affiliate link in your signature file and then start adding posts. The idea here is to really engage people and lead with great value and great content. Really offer people something and they will be curious enough to click on your link.

Then you simply just link out to an affiliate product via Clickbank or whatever you are trying to offer and people will buy from you. In the end, its really all about traffic. The more traffic you drive the more chances you are going to have for people to buy and the more money you are going to make when more of them do decide to purchase through you link.

Anyways, I think I’ve gone on enough for the day here. I will keep you posted on how things go with my friend and how long it takes for him to make his first sale.

Hope you enjoyed,
