So often I get asked how do I earn money online and what is it that I do that causes me to get so many referrals, earn commissions and grow my sites.  The bottom answer is promote, promote, promote – Does It Pay?

Well I have some examples that I would like to share with you and some of the mistakes that I have made and what I have learned over the years.  First of all I hear so many talk about not having their own program so don’t know what to do and that was my first excuse that I used.  Well the first thing I suggest doing is find a program and become an affiliate for the program.

Now I’m not just saying join a bunch of sites and throw out your referral links – I’m saying find a program and yes it can be a traffic exchange, a product someone has created or a program that is something that will benefit others.  It took me many years to get this thru my head but finally that light bulb went on.

As most of you know that I have been a member of Global NPN for years and I know the first question that I get is what is NPN.  Well NPN is a program that offers tools that you need to grow your business and saves me money each month –   I have everything I needed before I got my own site and this is where I started.  This program offer tracking, rotators, page creator, your own blog, autoresponder, domain hosting all under one roof.

I started this program at the entry level and have worked my way to the director level and receive a nice monthly income each month.

The training videos in the back office has taught me many ways to get traffic but still boils down for promote, promote, promote.  Looking for a program to get started take a look at My NPN Profile Page.

Back in May you will recall that I wrote a blog post Are you drowning? Here is your lifesaver well I am pleased to report that many of you are doing quite well and are very active in this program and I really thank you.  There is nothing like getting up on Monday and starting your week off with Just thought you’d like to know ViralCommandoProfits sent you 146.30 USD.  Now why did I get an email like that well, bottom line again promote, promote, promote and it’s does page.

I know most of you have seen the page that I created and plastered it all over – and this is why I tell you all the time do something that is going to be different, something that will pause the member when they are surfing, and yes I also use mailers but everyone got to see this page http://zaneyclicks.com/t/vcp3 and yes I left the link in here so that I can show you that I set the page up on a tracker so I know where the site was being seen, how many hits it was getting.

Now for all of you that grab a referral link and pop it in here and there and add say 1000 credits to it and then think wow well this site didn’t work – well after watching the hits that this page and anything that I promote gets 1000 is NOT enough these days to get you the results you are looking for.  The problem that I see so many doing is giving up before doing all they can to make it work.

You see when I believe in a program, I keep at it – promote, promote, promote – does it pay?  Yes it does and all I can say is find something that you really believe in, learn that program, and then get out there a do everything you can think to do to tell people about that program.  It can be a splash page, a blog post, a video, sending out solos on the mailers and safelist, etc – try it all – track what you are doing and your will soon find what works for you.

Yes I said YOU, I can sit here all day and tell you what I am doing but what is working for you may not work for you and what you find that will work for you might not work me me or anyone else.  BUT if you don’t do something – take action – you will NOT get results.  So stop making excuses, stop blaming everyone that you are not earning money – get out there and take some action.
