It would depend on what type of online business model you have but one where you make tons of websites and hope to make a little from each one seems to me the type of strategy that would do well in a recession. You see, there is no limit to the amount of sites a person can have and if you have the time, patience, and skill to keep making more, you should be able to make more money even if what you make per site goes down.

If you have a brick and morter store on the corner, you are limited to what you can do to get more customers into your store. You can do all sorts of advertising and if you have the money you can build new stores. But if your sales are going down per store, building more is too risky.

With Internet marketing, each new “store” is really a blog or website which you can buy for under $10.00. All you have to get is the domain name and then it costs that same $10.00 or so per year. You can even build new blogs for free if you want using Blogger, HubPages, Squidoo lenses, or something similar. So, even if your earnings are going down per site, you can build more for little cost.

I’ve read of  some people having over 500 sites and I guess it can be kind of addicting once you get started. If you like making new websites then it is easy to get caught up in the thrill of making new ones all the time. So, if you have 500 sites and your income starts going down because of the economy, just build another 500 sites to boost your earnings back up!

The World Series of Poker is in full swing right now and if you play poker and / or watch it on TV, you know that this time of the year is the most exciting. It should be every poker player’s dream to win a bracelet at the World Series and it becomes even more exciting if you can get on one of the television telecasts. 

If you want to learn how to make money, poker is definitely one of the ways. Many people have gotten rich in the last 5 years and many others make a good living at it. Of course, for every person that becomes successful, there are probably 100 that fail. For those of you that are failing making money playing poker, maybe you should switch to Internet marketing – check out my CashCrate review and learn how to earn money by making referrals.

One of the strategies that can be employed in a no limit poker game is to keep the pots small. This is called “small ball poker” and it is used by many professionals because they don’t want to ever put all their chips at risk unless they have to. By keeping the pots small, they believe they can use their superior skill to grind down the other players over time that have less skill. Poker is a game of skill over the long run but in any tournament or short session (which is really what a tournament is), luck becomes a much bigger factor.

I employ “small ball” in my Internet marketing strategy. Long ago I found out it is easier to get someone to sign up for something that is free or costs little than it is to get someone to sign up for something that costs a lot. The problem is that you will get paid much less for the getting them to sign up to the cheaper things.

ClickBank and the other affiliate networks all have their share of relatively expensive items that cost the user $50 and on up. The affiliates commission for those items is often $30 or more which is a nice chunk of change for one sale. But how many of those sale can you realistically make in a day or a week? For the average  person trying to make money online, the answer it not too many.

I have found I can do as well or better with smaller ticket items where the affiliate gets paid $1 to maybe $3 per signup. Yes, it is not as exciting to make that little per sale and most people never give it a try. But those sales add up and you might find you do better with those smaller offers than you do with the bigger ones. Small ball Internet marketing is a good name for it and you might give it a try sometime.

What is Dropshipping?

Dropshipping is a very simple concept that allows for an average normal person to take control of his or her life. It does not take a genius to accomplish a successful dropship business. All it takes is a little bit of hard work and a push in the right direction.

There are a handful of companies out there that offer dropshipping services. When you sign up for a membership with one of those companies, you would get a bunch of different benefits. The highlight feature you would get would be the dropshipping service. Meaning, you would have full access to millions of wholesale products. You would then be able to sell those products and then the dropship company would take care of the rest. Most importantly, the company packages and ships the product out to your customers. All you have to do is sell, and they will handle the dirty work.

How To Make Money with Dropshipping

It sounds easy and it really can be if you know what you are doing. The problem is that, most people never take the time to figure it out. The most popular ways to sell wholesale products is through eBay and/or Amazon. These are great ways to get started, but in today’s day and age – you will never get rich like this. If you are really going to make any serious money with dropshipping you must have your own website and you must sell the products on your site.

The key is to pick a very specific niche, that you can dominate. Do not try to sell anything and everything under the sun. If you do that, you are going to fail quickly. If you instead, focus on one market then you can definitely achieve success. As you get going and start to make some money then you can scale it out. The idea is to build even more of these websites and then increase your revenue. There is no limit to how much money you can make, because there is an endless amount of niches and markets that you can get into. With some hard work and a bit of studying, you are well on your way to Nuking your Day Job with Dropshipping.
