Making money online can be a very confusing and frustrating thing to do if you don't know where to begin. With so many get rich quick schemes that promise overnight riches the idea of simply buying a product or having a website that will do all the work for you while you sit back and push a button is extremely tempting. I myself have fallen for the "Guru's", you know the guys online who started from nothing yet ended up having millions and knows all the secrets that nobody else does and is willing to share with you his proven method of making millions online, for a small fee of course.
Now don't get me wrong, I know there are a handful of people on the Internet who genuinely believe that they can help you make money and want you to succeed, but there are plenty more who only care about turning a profit for themselves and the information they share is only bits and pieces of the entire puzzle of making money online, or just complete garbage.
When it truly comes down to it, the product or the service being sold isn't nearly as important as the person who knows the marketing skills behind the product. With the right know how you can basically make money from any avenue online, any product, or any service just as long as you have the right knowledge of how to do so. See most of the get rich quick schemes you see online won't go into detail to teach you how to actually learn the set of skills that it takes to achieve any kind of income on the Internet.
They keep you in the dark, they only tell you to follow commands as you go through the steps blindly and not really grasping how and why you are doing what you are doing. As time progresses eventually you'll become confused and frustrated and eventually give up and try to find the next best thing to make money, jumping from one thing to the next. This process can continue on for quite some time as it did for me, yet with every experience I realized that there were certain things that worked and certain things that didn't.
I knew that I had to learn the "skill sets" that the real people online knew that they were using, I slowly put the pieces together and used what worked and discarded everything thing else that didn't.
Instead of worrying about the money I knew I had to learn the skills first and then the money would eventually come. Skills like market research and traffic generation and converting visitors to buyers is more than luck, there's a science behind the entire process. I knew that investing time into learning how to apply these techniques would ultimately bring me the revenue that I was searching for online and help me build my online business one step at a time.
If your trying to make money online and haven't seen any fantastic results I suggest investing some of your time into your own education and possibly taking a crash course on the basics of Internet Marketing, out of the everything I've tried online honestly nothing has been more worth the investment.

Going Viral with the ChatRoom
[ Copy this | Start New | Full Size ]
Visitors will naturally tell others about the chatroom, also they will revisit it daily just to see whats going on with other chat members..
They will also take the HTML code of the Chatroom that is easily available with no knowledge thanks to the simple click and copy link on the Chatbox and place it into there own Blog, Myspace, Wordpress, or Website..etc..
The Space where it says "www.YourSiteGoesHere.com" is where you would put your website, visitors will have no choice but to see your site name regardless of where your chatroom ends up being placed at...naturally people will come to your site.
This Blog was a quick demonstration that took me under 30 minutes to make, the idea is to use the chat on other platforms but the reason for using Blogger was..
1. It is free, and some beginners don't have cash for hosting and domain..etc...
2. HTML Friendly, point click and drag...beginners with no HTML or WebDesign Skills
3. Overall easy way for a Marketer to set up Adsense or Review Pages For Affiliate Products..etc..
Total time to create this was roughly 45minutes. Total Cost ZERO.. Hope this was helpful!
I create chatrooms that attract people in a chosen niche, they come together
and chat and naturally build into a community within the chat.
In a short amount of time the chatroom will grow as more members
know of the chat resulting in more traffic.
The members in the chat are basically like a Opt-in list cause you have access
to them and can send them messages publicly or privately.
All the while the chat members are exposed to Advertisements,
Product recommendations, Links, etc.. and in the same note you build
trust with the people within the chat resulting in easier conversions.
And I know what your thinking..Who would want to be chatting all day right?
Well definitely not me, I have better things to do and the truth is alot of
these "chats" that I have set up run on there own and people chat at all hours
of the day everyday and have no idea who the creator of the room is!
People love chatting online especially with those with the same interest!
Okay now, your probably wondering how do I do this..
Well here you go, here is the basic Blueprint to do achieve this.
(The Resources and Strategy)
First off it is very easy..
What you have to do is create a chatroom for FREE,
Do a google search if you like, but the one I use is Chatango
and NO I am not affiliated or earning any commissions or anything like that
just to clear that up. THIS IS JUST A HUMBLE RETURN FOR ALL THE HELP EVERYONE HERE AT
THE WARRIOR FORUM HAS GIVEN ME!
At Chatango you can create a custom chatroom, with different sizes and fonts and colors.
Being the creator of the room you can moderate chat posts, ban members.
Its a simple process to create a room and in 3 steps you should have a room created.
Now you should create a Profile for yourself, this will be your Screename and Bio and you
can add a picture if you like. It is useful to do this step cause you will find most people
will prefer to message you in private.(Word of Advice, go to settings configure that to your
liking..like being emailed if you recieve an offline message, having others see your idle time, etc.)
Chatango will give you the html code that you can copy and paste and drop into any website,
this will allow you to place your Chatroom anywhere online.
--Where to place your Chatroom?--
You can place your chatroom almost anywhere that displays HTML..heres some examples
Blogger
Wordpress
Your Website
Forums
Myspace Pages
(You can even comment peoples pages and place a small version of your Chatroom in the comment!)
---The Viral Effect of This..--
Your chatroom has a convenient little button on the bottom left hand side when clicked that says
"place this chat onto your website" allowing visitors to easily click and copy and paste the code
onto there own blog, myspace, wordpress, etc.. for easy connection with the chat.
I have found that after a short period of time people were copying and pasting my chatroom
on there websites all over the place and numbers started multiplying FAST!
I had a simple Chat I built that started with maybe 5-10 unique visitors and ended up with 6,000
unique visitors within 30 days and the numbers are growing constantly! These aren't return visitors
either I have a hundred or so "return' visitors that frequent that chat daily..so there is some
retention. (Place a free stat counter on your page, StatCounter is one u can use)
But it would be impossible to calculate the actual numbers of people who see the chatroom, considering
it is being posted all over the place.
--Cool, you get Traffic but how can you turn that into money?---
If you can't already see how you can turn those visitors into money well let me explain a few things..
The Headline on Top of the Chat is my website name.. "www.MyDomain.com" everybody sees this..
Naturally people in the chat see this and are intrigued and WILL end up going to your site..
From there the strategy use us to convert visitors into buyers is no different then any other
method online..Also you can have a site that will monetize the traffic with Adsense, opt-in list,
Affiliate Links. etc..
Heres a example..
Create a chatroom targeted for people who want to talk about "WeightLoss"
Your Headline on the Chatroom would be "www.HowToLoseWeight.com" or something like that..
See how someone in the chat would just naturally end up going to your site.
Its really as simple as that..
