About Me
Firstly welcome to my make money online beginners blog, I genuinely hope you can learn something here.
Most of you know me as CrystalQ from sites like Digital Point, The Rich Jerk Forum and the Warrior Forum. I have been marketing online since August of 2006 and I really, really, really enjoy what I do. I started off with Online Surveys, which didn’t go to well because I had to join 1,000 survey companies, I then had to wait for surveys to be sent me which didn’t start coming in until months later, when I got them they where paying like .50c “not enough money” 
So I went searching for something better, I found “Data Entry Bank” this was OK I did lose a lot of money using this product, but if I didn’t try it I wouldn’t be doing what I am today. Data entry taught me about Google Adwords and how to lose money LOL when I brought this program it was around the time of the infamous Google Slap.
After that failed miserably I went out and brought my own hosting and began to build my own website, I figured the money is in websites and I knew I could add affiliate products or Adsense to my page and get paid. I had no clue what I was doing, but I went out and did it. The site looked horrible and I would show my family members and they were like what is it??? I was trying to build a site like yahoo. 
Anyway I continued to build that site but I went looking for more information about making money online and I came across The Rich Jerk, the sales page had a good sales pitch, he had a private jet and it looked like he made a lot of money so I brought it. This was the best purchase I had ever made!!!
The Rich Jerk forum and ebook has taught me a lot of what I know today, although I don’t visit the forum as often as I used to, it has been a major contributor to my online success. I have made many good friends at the RJ forum and I highly recommend it to anyone starting out online!!!
After I got the Rich Jerk ebook I had to teach myself…
Basic Html - (That’s all you need), Marketing, Advertising, How to configure website templates, how to use hosted c-panels (like Hostgator but I started with Startlogic), PHP, FTP and How to use Blogging platforms. I gradually taught myself everything I need to know and everyday I continue to learn new things.
I have brought and sold many products since then and I continue to make money online, this is a real good opportunity to open new doors of income and you should be take full advantage of it! It doesn’t cost much money actually you can get started for free, the most important purchases you should make should be tools.
So, after 2 years this is what I taught myself to do…
SEO: I am not perfect but I am getting it, search engine traffic is the best traffic you can get and is the highest converting. Best of all search engine traffic is free.
Blogging with wordpress: Love it!!! Best way to make websites.
Creating My Own Products: Yep and I have made and sold my own product online, the money is much better because you get 100% of the sales unless you have affiliates.
Online Marketing: I have taught myself many forms of online marketing from Article marketing to PPC.
Keyword Research: Most important part on online Marketing.
And much, much, more.
Anything and everything I know I taught myself! Anyone can do this, you don’t need a degree to make it in online affiliate marketing business. All you need is commitment!
