Make Money Online - The CaymanHost

03/12: Making Money Online Part2 - The Basics

Welcome back. I hope that after reading part 1 of this series you weren't too depressed! Having spoken about how not to go about it, let's start looking at some of the options available for those who are serious about trying to generate some form of online income.

Today we are going to introduce the concept of "nothing is really free".  That's right - if you are serious about making money online, you are going to have to seriously consider how much of an investment you are willing to make to succeed.

People are very reluctant to accept this fact, and although we would all like to make piles of money without spending a cent, it is going to restrict your chances severely. People are making money online without any investment it's true, but it is without doubt a  huge handicap for most. This is not to say that you need to spend a lot of money  - the beauty of the internet is the fact that you can start with very little outlay in comparison with starting a business offline.

So, where is your money going to be best spent? Well, there is no shortage of people trying to sell you all kinds of information and ideas. that's for sure.

Let's start with the basics. I realize that this is preaching to the converted for many readers, but one of the first serious considerations is to set up your own domain and hosting arrangements. This is important for a number of reasons. You probably want to establish a brand and to have an easily remembered address or addresses on the web. You want full control of your sites and to own your own data. Until you have experienced your own hosted domains, it's hard to appreciate just how much you are missing out on. 

The fear for many people is that they just don't have the technical knowledge to cope with web hosting, but the fact is, if you can use a free blogging platform or word processing software for example, you will be able to manage your own websites, blogs and hosting control panel. The user friendliness of modern web hosting is what makes it so attrative to ever increasing numbers of users.

Regular readers will know that one of my own top businesses is connected with my hosting arrangements. The reason for this is that not only do the company provide first class service and support, they also offer a great suite of marketing add-ons and tools - AND an excellent opportunity to add a monthly recurring income stream for their customers. There isn't another hosting company that offer an affiliate program of this nature, that pays back 85% of its revenue to customers.

If you don't yet have a clear idea of the kind of sites you want to build in connection with a business, the program offers everyone the tools to start promoting the affiliate program immediately on joining. This means that while you start to develop your own sites, you have the chance to begin earning money immediately - of course, you need never even use the hosting services if you really don't want to (although that would seem rather wasteful) but the fact is, generating a residual income becomes a real possibility as soon as you sign up. You won't get rich overnight - this is a genuine program however, and you can soon begin to see results and another nice boost to your Paypal account every month.

The company will provide you with a variety of Lead Capture Templates  for example, which you can use in conjuntion with their unlimited professional autoresponders allowing you to send any messages you wish, promoting anything you want. Mesages can be sent in HTML and plain text and spread over absolutely any period of time.

Several Kiosk customers designed various ingenious ways to promote Kiosk's business and potential income generation with things like the Masterprofit System, which even negate the need for you to write your own autoresponder messages. 

The company provide things like unlimited URL rotators (great for traffic exchanges and the like) and live VOIP conferencing plus a whole host of other marketing tools, all of which can be seen and experienced at the Kiosk.ws Hosting Website 

For me, promoting things that work and seeing other people experiencing success online for the first time is a great lift, and with so many dubious "opportunities" online, it's a pleasure to promote something that not only gives a great service to webmasters new and old, but also an additional, genuine business model for developing residual income. Kiosk is one business service that I am 100% confident in promoting to others.

I wrote a comprehensive article about the Kiosk.ws Hosting and Business Plan here and regularly provide updates on the reliability of Kiosk.ws here for all to see.

So, once you have made a small investment in hosting, the doors open up to a huge range of possibilities, more of which I will discuss as this series progresses, so, if you're not subscribed already, please add me to your feed reader or sign up for regular email updates.
