If
you’re a blogger or a internet marketer or even a beginner then you
already know that it’s POSSIBLE to make money online. And what’s
interesting about it is that, there are a lot of ways to make money online – from selling ads, e-books, affiliate marketing, freelance writing, podcasting, consulting, designing, coding, etc.
So
I’m going to highlight some of those online income streams but don’t
expect overnight success because creating an income stream requires a
lot of work and patience. But if you are a beginner and clueless about
where to start then this should help you to focus on that. If you have
any trouble with any of these options then leave a comment below or you
can e-mail me and I’ll do my best to find the best resource to help you.
Make Money Online With Your Website
Do
you have a website or a blog? If so, then then selling advertisements
is the easiest way to make money online. Since there are tons of ad
networks on the Internet you have to make sure that you choose the best
ad network to maximize the revenue.
But if you can
create your own products then it’s the best way to make money because
that way you’re actually building a passive income stream online. You
can use your own blog or website to market your products so that people
will buy it when they’re convinced.
Advertising
networks can be Cost Per Click (CPC), Cost Per Mille (CPM), or Cost Per
Action (CPA). A Cost Per Click network pays you each time a user clicks
on your ad and the actual amount that you’ll get is determined by the
advertiser. Now a Cost Per Mille network or simply a Cost Per Impression
network pays for every 1,000 page views that you generate. If they pay
$1 for every 1,000 page views then you’ll get $30 if the number of page
views a month is 30,000.
Now
I’m going to list some of the popular ad networks in each category. If
you’re looking for a comprehensive list then check out 24 Google AdSense Alternatives for more CPC and CPM networks and also check out the Top 10 Affiliate Networks for more CPA networks.

You
can always sell ads directly when someone wants to buy a banner ad, or
text links, or even a sponsored post on your blog. But if you’re not
lucky enough then you have to become a part of a bigger network where
you can showcase your ad inventory.

affiliate marketing networks. It converts all the normal links in your
website to affiliate links and you make money when clicks result in
sales or leads.

you’ll get access to thousands of affiliate programs without applying
individually and you don’t have to manage any affiliate programs or
links or anything as they offer a centralized reporting as well.

In-house Affiliate Programs
If
you like a product then obviously you write about it, tweet about it,
and tell your friends, right? Now how about getting paid for that?
That’s right! If you check the websites of most Internet companies
(others too) then you can find their affiliate program. So you can use
the affiliate links while promoting their products and they’ll pay you
for referring new customers to them. They may have their own in-house
affiliate program, or one that is managed by an affiliate network, or
both.
…and much more.

If
you have a good quality website then advertisers will try their best to
buy a text link or a sponsored post from you. But wait, selling text
links is against Google’s Webmaster Guidelines and they may ban your website from its search results unless the links are rel=”nofollow”.
