Have you made your first dollar online? If not, why? Are you making efforts and not getting any result? If you are working hard, then it is obvious that you should have earned something by now. You must be perturbed in such a situation. Of course, there are many reasons for your failure.
Please don’t get me wrong, I am neither a big earner not a very successful man. I am not a perfect man and still have to go far. Yet, I am earning a modest income. I am happy till now with whatever I have achieved. I am writing this post just to help you. I will tell you the real facts behind earning money online. Initially, I committed many mistakes and I am sure you are also doing the same. I will show you how to overcome this problem and make your first dollar online.
Top 5 Reasons of Your Failure:
#1. You are Too Lazy: You won’t be able to earn a single dollar if you are too lazy. Tell me one thing- have you got your degree without studying day/night? Have you achieved anything without working for it? Many people who start their online journey think that it is very easy to make money online and it will automatically flow in, doing nothing. If you one of those who think like that, then please leave the online world, now.
#2. You Want Results Very Fast: This is another problem with every newbie. They want quick results. They think if they invest $100 today, tomorrow they will receive $1000. Think practically! If anybody could earn so fast then everybody would have quite their jobs and work only online. Do you think I will do my 9-5 day job if I can make $100 to $1000 overnight?
#3. You Are Not Ready To Learn: Sometimes, people ask me to explain ways to earn money online. I am ready to help anybody with all my knowledge. But the problem is that people only want to know the process of fast money making but not an online career. They have disbelief that there is not much to learn in this field. Mind that online business is same as offline business. ‘There is no shortcut to success’. So, try to learn the basics first.
#4. You Don’t Respect Others: Yes, many people think all internet marketers are cheaters. They sell scrap products. I agree that this can be attributed to internet scams. But, there are reliable marketers too. You should learn to have faith on others. To convince yourself, you can verify the marketer’s details by personally contacting them. Please note that these marketers are very successful people in their life. They work hard to promote their brands across the globe. Respect them and try to learn from them. I know many marketers who are really very helpful.
#5. You Are Not Ready To Invest: Every newbie thinks- why should I spend to earn money? Tell me– Did you complete your studies without spending any dime? Did you not buy any books? Internet Marketing is also same. You will have to invest to learn the basics and tricks of online earning. If you think you already know everything and are not ready to invest small amount for your success then, dear friend, you are not at the right place. My advice is better don’t waste your time anymore. I would like to ask you to quit, but I know you surely don’t want to give up so easily.
There are some excellent online programs. Go for them. It is a warning that there are a lot of scams. Hence, you should be very careful before buying any product.
Please don’t think I am going to sell you something. No not at all! I just want to help you. You will get lots of free tutorials and resources on my blog. Have a look on my blog topics and you will find it.You can also request any tutorials and I will try my best to help you.

Getting Backlinks to Increase Search Engine Ranking is not an easy task. It involves lots of efforts. In this post you will learn all about how to get backlinks for Offpage Search Engine Optimization. To rank well in search engine we should have enough backlinks pointing to our site. For beginners it may be little bit difficult to understand what I am saying. So, I am explaining here about baklinks.
Whenever you type any word in Google, Google check two main thing. First it find out all the pages that matches with your search term. Secondly it see which page is referred more by other site. The page which is referred more, wins in search result. Referring means which other websites are linking to that page or website.
In order to get good search engine rank you have to create links pointing back to your site. This links are called backlinks. Backlinks are also know as inbound links or incoming links and they are the core of Offpage Search Engine Optimization. I have already included all factors about Offpage search engine optimization in my one post Search Engine Optimization For Dummies
There are so many ways to create backlinks. It’s a never ending process. If you want to defeat your competitor you have to keep building backlinks.
There are many backlink checker tools available. For Example you can try Backlink Watch. Yahoo Explorer is also a great way to check backlinks. To check backlinks in yahoo do as: link:http://www.WebsiteName.com
It will show a list of all sites that points back to http://www.websitename.com. See the image below:

However you can find all backlinks using Google Webmaster. Using yahoo explorer you will be able to find out few of actual backlinks.
How To Get Backlinks?
Below I am explaining few steps to get backlinks. Mind that backlinks and reprocial links are not same. Backlinks are one way incoming links to your site. You don’t have to link back those backlink sources from your website or blog. You should also focus on creating quality backlinks, not quantity. Means one backlink from a PR8 website is far better than 10 backlinks from a PR0 website.
Article Submission: I feel this is powerful step of creating one way incoming links to your site. Always use good Anchor text while creating link and use your keyword. For example my blog main keyword is earn money online. So I will use earn money online to link to my blog instead of Click Here. Click the below link to get top list of articles directories
Directory Submission: It is a time consuming process but try to submit as much as you can. You will find a good list of directory here ==> Robin Good’s list of RSS directories
Blog Commenting: Find out some dofollow blog with CommentLuv plugin installed and post comments. After publishing a post in your blog make at least 10 comments. It will create 20 backlinks to your blog. Use http://blogsearch.google.com/ to find out blog on your niche.
Forum Post: Join some forums in your niche and contribute to forums. Put your url in signature. Click below to get a list of dofollow forums:
Social Networking and Bookmarking: Using these site you not only get traffic but also you will get one way backlinks to your site. So, use it very wisely. You can see my previous post to Increase Traffic To Blog for more details.
Creating WEB2.0 Properties: Create different WEB2.0 properties such as Squidoo lens, Hubpage, Blogger blogs etc to support your main blog. Use keyword in anchor link to point back to your blog. It is better if you can create all WEB2.0 properties on your sub keyword, not main keyword. once you done that you can bookmark all those WEB2.0 properties.
You can create more WEB2.0 properties such as:
- Wordpress.com
- Weebly.com
- Xanga.com (Nofollow Now)
- Zimbio.com
- Wikispaces.com
- Wetpaint.com
- Quizilla.com
- Webs.com
- Vox.com
Now grab RSS URL of each WEB2.0 properties and go to http://pingomatic.com or http://pingler.com to ping it.
Shareware/Freeware Distribution: If you can create any Shareware/Freeware program for your niche then you can use this as a nice link building strategy. use PromoSoft to submit it to over 700 shareware directories. You will get strong backlinks from all those high page rank websites. One example of Freeware is toolbar. Create one toolbar and submit to software directory. I did not created any still, but I have seen people getting results out of it.
Photo Submission: If you have any photo to upload you can upload to all these websites:
Ebook Submission: Write one small ebook on your niche or if you have any then upload to various ebook uploading sites. You can use these below sites:
