In order to make money on the web – you must first create the basis. Take all the time you need to create your money-maker. I built some toolbars in 2 days, others in 2 weeks. The time I invested in each depends on the complexity of the toolbar niche. Some toolbars require weekly maintenance, whereas others are updated once a month. And then there are the money-making toolbars which are good to go without any maintenance at all.

It all began last January, when I started to learn about affiliate marketing.
I searched the web to learn about the different affiliate programs out there. At first it wasn’t more than a weekend hobby. I used to set landing-pages with affiliate links and run Google Adwords campaigns to drive targeted traffic to those pages. It worked but didn’t yield as much money as I hoped it would… I kept searching for a way to increase my online income. Then, by complete chance, I came across a toolbar building platform of a company called Conduit and decided to give it a shot. Conduit provides an extraordinary toolbar building platform, free of charge. It enabled me to create radio-toolbars for specific audiences of different nationalities. I found all the radio stations from each country I chose and added useful links.



For Radio Netherlands Toolbar, I added hundreds of Dutch radio stations along with other useful links. To my surprise, I discovered that hundreds of new Dutch speaking users were downloading my toolbar everyday. These soon became thousands of daily downloads and that was just the beginning. And all that on a zero advertisement budget! Two weeks later, as I analyzed my site logs, I had an important insight. I figured out that a vast number of the users were arriving from e-mail referrals. (Although I never used e-mail marketing campaigns, so I was pretty amazed). Then I realized that my radio toolbar become viral, self-marketed - if you will. Users who enjoyed my toolbar started recommending it to their friends… It spread like wild fire.
