Here are five ways to make money from the internet. 1. Affiliate programs are commissioned based advertising where the advertiser pays you when someone purchases there products from your site. You would simply place a special tracking code and banner of the advertiser on your website. When one of your visitors clicks the link they are directed to the advertiser's site. The advertiser pays you a commission for each sale. There are hundreds of affiliate programs offered with varying commission structures. Choose programs that your site visitors might be interested in. Example: http://www.themarketinglady.com/partners.html Resources: http://www.cj.com/publishers/ , www.clickbank.com , 2. Sell Advertising space If you have a high traffic website advertisers will jump at the chance to purchase a banner ad from you. They'll want your website statistics, demographic make up of your site, and banner ad requirements. A website that cost $1500 to build and $300 to host can easily double the return with the right pricing and real estate available on the site. Research advertising exchange programs that will help you sell the real estate on your website to media buyers. Example: http://www.valderbeebeshow.com/modules/content/index.php?id=7 Resources: www.doubleclick.com , www.premiumnetwork.com 3. Start an eNewsletter or Blog Newsletters can provide information and resources to targeted groups. Advertisers maybe interested in reaching a targeted group of buyers. If your subscriber list is large enough, you can charge advertisers to place banners ads, sponsor an entire newsletter, or include a featured product. A Blog is similar to a newsgroup. You can post messages and visitors may post comments to your blog. Contextual ads and affiliate programs are a great way to generate income for a blog. Example: http://themarketinglady.blogspot.com/ Resources: www.blogger.com (free), www.typepad.com (starts at $5/month) 4. Sign up for Google Ad Sense Google.com is an online search engine that crawls billions of websites looking for relative key works and content to bring back to the web searcher. They created a program called Ad Sense that allows you to put contextual ads of other sites on your site. It's very similar to an affiliate program in the sense that you make money by promoting someone else's site. The difference is you get a commission each time someone clicks the ad from your website. Ad Sense can be added to your blog as well. Resource: www.google.com 5. Sell online Got a lot of junk in the attic? One man's trash is another's treasures. People are selling anything from antiques to electronic in online auction houses. It's easy to start and very cost effective. You upload images of the products you want to sell along with a description, set the bidding price and sit back and watch the bidding wars start. Typically sellers find products from around the house, flea markets, or through drop shippers. Word of caution: There are hundreds of online money making opportunities. Do as much research as you can on the company, call them, and ask if you can contact existing users for feedback. Shy away from those that guarantee a certain amount of money. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Still unsure? Check the Online Better Business Bureau to see if the company is legitimate or if there have been complaints. http://www.bbbonline.org/
