Your website plays a major role in making a living online but it is a very simple process. All you have to do is build a website that will convert the traffic and then target keywords based on products and services.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t talk to at least one person that wants

• to make money quickly.
• the process to be simple.
• a method that they can use to build a business online.

It’s important to understand that if you are serious about making a living online, then you need to be equally serious about the time that will be needed to do so.

I will take you through the steps needed to make money online, than by repeating these steps over and over again you can make an unbelievable amount of money day by day online.

The recession is over yet 450,000 jobs were lost in the month of June, after the recession had ended.

I’ve seen a lot of my competition begin to struggle and many others go out of business. Yet prices across the board for web design services have remained intact. The recession caused people to tighten their grip on their wallets and useless products are no longer being purchased.

People are now thinking about how they spend their money and many are starting to pay off credit debt. If nothing else we’ve learned that nothing in life is for sure, including your job or the faith of the company you work for.

Companies have now started calling outsourcing, Cloud Commuting and it is being looked on as a good thing. It’s one of the things that have kept many companies in business and allowed them to keep prices low and keep current employees.

Geeks on Steroids has been busy this year helping many companies improve their web presence and turn old websites into money making machines. Source that have not been considered in the past are being considered today.

The difficult times are far from over but the companies that see this as an opportunity to change the way they do business will remain in business and continue to grow.

A lot of businesses don’t understand the reasons behind outsourcing and the fact that they increase American jobs. Yes, I said increase American jobs.
If a company outsources correctly, they will have an edge on the competition and an opportunity to change the game in their industry. Projects that have lacked funding in the past can now be brought back to life putting more Americans to work and causing the competition to step up their game.

By outsourcing work the company is able to save money that it would have otherwise been spent on new machinery, updating factories, buying new computers or trying to find the right employee and spend that money on advertising and sales. By increasing a company’s productivity, we increase the amount of money the company is able to spend on hiring more people.

A company that is able to outsource its web design needs to Colombia is a company that is able to spend more money on permanent jobs in the US. For the price a company could hire one marketer in the US to market their site they could hire 6 in Colombia.

That means the site will rank 6 times faster, get 6 times the traffic, 6 times the sales and best of all the company will have to hire 6 times the people.
Outsourcing allows a company to become more efficient and in turn hire more Americans, not less.

I am one of those that have preached for years that it’s all about the back links. It doesn’t matter how much content you’ve got, when it comes to ranking for competitive keywords, it’s all about back links.

So how do we get them?

Start by creating a blog and submitting a couple articles to article sites as well as submitting your blog to the directories.

Then start posting like a wild man or woman.

The more you post, the more you will appear in blog search engines like Technorati, Google Blog Search, and Blog Search Engine.

However, people aren’t going to link to posts that are garbage so don’t sacrifice quality for quantity.

People will link to post that make them think and creates a desire in them to react.

Yes, back links are king but the best way to get them is with content.

When it comes to marketing a site online, you need to have something that is link worthy. Link worthy is when something is so cool that people will link to it just because, it’s so cool.

A lot of times well written content on an interesting subject is enough to do this. But there are times in life that the product being sold is just not that interesting. It doesn’t matter how many articles you right, people are just not going to link to them.

This calls for a different approach and it is one we are working on now with a silicone wristband site we have. We hired a couple writers however, it didn’t take long for all the articles to start looking the same and it was rare for anyone to link to the articles.

In the past I’ve run across graphic designs that were just so cool that I linked to them. This got me to thinking about the silicone wristbands as well as the fact that none of the competition had tried this approach yet.

I’ve got some graphic designers in-house I am going to use and see how things work how.

Below are the original images we have to work with, these are all silicone wristband images and are very boring however, they are mixed in with images that I found online that are not boring to give you an idea of what I am talking about.
