Money online key ingredient
Whats the Major ingredient to making money online?
I make no claims to be an expert blogger as you probably know but if you want to make cash from a website of any kind the very, very most important thing you need is traffic.
You need visitors because with out real people visiting your website no one will sign up to any affiliate programs your promoting or click any links, no one will want to buy any ads because no one will see them.
So how do you get traffic?
As always it starts in the beginning before you even think about domain names or hosting you need to research, you need to find a niche.
Whats a Niche?
Finding an undevelopped niche is like finding a golden fleece, the internet is a massive place and it doesn't matter how weird you are theres bound to be thousands of people just like you all over the world you just need to find them.
If you really are that weird no one else in the world does what you do you should write a blog about yourself you'll probably get thousands of visitors everyday just to laugh at you.
To make sure you really have found an unsaturated niche you should do lots of google searches checking the terms you want to target and seeing what the competitions like, you could also use the web ceo keyword research tool which is great.
Getting traffic
Once you've found your niche which everyones searching but no one catering for you need to get traffic, getting traffic can be done in a number of ways heres some of the ways I get traffic to this site
