The most effective method of how to make money online, and offline, is by doing what you enjoy. And there’s always a way to make money doing something you love, sometimes it just takes a little thinking outside the box.

Here is a step by step guide on how to make money online while having fun!

1. Make a list of things you enjoy, you are passionate or interested in knowing more. Don’t worry about how you could make money from them, or if it would be possible, just write them down on the list.

For example:

* Dolphins

*Chocolate

* Shoes

* Street dance

* Vacations in exotic countries

As you can see in the list of examples, it can be as diverse as you like.

2. Choose from the list, a topic to start. Don’t pick the one you think is most likely to make money online, pick the one you’re most excited about.

3. Spend some time on keyword research, and niche research to find out what people are searching for and what are the common issues and post requests regarding that topic. I’ll share it with you below where you can find out how to carry out this investigation. Of course, this research should be an enjoyable process because it is a subject that you love or are passionate about.

4. Find an affiliate product.

Once you have a list of keywords and a note of what people are searching for, find an affiliate product by doing a Google search for your “topic + affiliate.” Be sure to research the product well to verify that it has good customer feedback. You can become an Amazon Affiliate for many products (if, say, your passion is gadgets, shoes, or barbecues… you get the idea), or ClickBank for information products on your topic.

5. Create a landing page – There are many free ways to do this. Be sure to put your main keyword in the title. You will of course have links to your affiliate products on this page with photos.

6. Research your topic and write content for your website. Once again, this should be a pleasant task since you have chosen a topic that you are passionate about.

You now have a product and a website on a topic you love. The next step is to let the world know and get traffic to your site using free methods like article marketing and social media marketing.
