Have you ever wondered how some of the top internet marketers
make money online? The best way to make money online is to find
an expert and get that expert to write about his area of
interest. But where can I get an expert? To paraphrase a
popular song, “The Guru lies in you”. You are your own expert
in your area of interest be it classical weaving or oil
painting or any hobby or interest you have. This article
examines how you can use your hobby or area of interest and
make money from it online.
What if you just enjoy something but do not have a deep grasp
of your area of interest? Someone once wrote that if you spend
one hour a day reading on just one subject, within a year you
will become an expert on that area. The same can be applied to
any area of interest you may have. The library and the internet
represent a plethora of information and not knowing is not an
excuse today. So therefore your area of interest in your own
mind represents a means by which you can make money online.
Money making becomes fun when you write about your area of
interest and help others learn more about that area of interest
and make yourself some money online at the same time. Below are
some simple ways that people have used to make money online
from their hobbies and areas of interest.
1. Ebooks
The internet has opened up a new arena in the global flow of
information. People go online to find out information and are
willing to pay for information. Electronic books (ebooks)
therefore have arisen to meet the need for knowledge online. An
example of an ebook can range from a simple PDF file to the more
elaborate ebooks generated by ebook generation software. Some
people are making money with cooking recipes and others with
traditional herbal remedies. Do you have an area of interest?
Consider writing a simple ebook and then getting other people
to build your website and sales letter for you. So find an area
which people are interested in and you are knowledgeable about
and sell ebooks on that subject online.
2. Websites
Once you have ascertained your area of interest, you can in
addition to writing your ebook, start building a website around
your area of interest. Making money from websites is easy once
you have enough content and website traffic. Find an affiliate
program that is targeted to your website intended audience and
you receive a commission for each sale you introduce to that
company. Large affiliate networks are usually the best for this
and companies like Commission Junction and Linkshare are good
places to start. For example if your website deals with model
planes, you could have a link to a store that sells model
planes and a link to a shop that sells model plane supplies. So
in other words, the more referral sales you make, the more
commission you will rake in.
3. Newsletters
Starting a newsletter on your favourite topic is also a good
idea. A good newsletter would provide lots of tips and help to
subscribers this creates lots of trust in your recommendations
and would increase your chances of making a sale if you
recommend some product to your list. Always recommend good
products and test them yourself before sending a letter
recommending it to your newsletter readers. But when you
stumble across a good product that is in line with your
newsletter that you like yourself, send out the ad with your
affiliate link and make money from that posting.
4. Signature Lines leading to Affiliate sales
If you have a particular interest, why not add a short ad to a
product related to your interest in your signature line in your
emails to your friends. Something like “This is a good
restaurant I like” with a link would give you some commissions
while allow you to share your love for a particular item with
them.
In conclusion, find out what you love and you can use that love
to make money online. This love for any interest that you may
have would give you the drive to work on it and that will pay
off in the end and allow you to make money online.

Hi, I am preparing a finance dictionary (English-Portuguese) for several years now. I was thinking about selling it online through a small translation company I own. However, as I live in a small country, people buying the e-dictionary (for example in PDF), could easily send it to other people and quickly it would be diffused. Do you have an idea how to prevent this?
