28. Creating a conference around the website
If your website takes off and becomes an authority on its niche, you could create a conference around it. Depending on the size of your audience, the event could attract thousands of people, and you could make money directly from conference passes and sponsors.
Search Engine Land, for instance, created a series of conferences that visit several cities on the United States and on other countries as well. The conferences are called Search Marketing Expo, and the tickets and passes cost thousands of dollars

27. Mentoring programs
People are willing to pay for someone or something that will teach them and give them knowledge (as opposed to mere information). Education is one of the biggest industries in the world, and the online landscape behaves in a similar way.
Creating a mentoring program related to the niche of your website could be very profitable if you manage to structure and promote it adequately. There is a wide range of media and tools that you can use to deliver the information, from text articles to audio and video lessons.
Brian Clark leveraged the success of Copyblogger to launch a mentoring program teaching people how to build membership and how to sell content online. The program is titled Teaching Sells, and it costs $97 monthly. Sounds expensive, but they have over 1,000 members.

26. Creating an Email List or Newsletter
Email lists and newsletters represent one of the most powerful marketing and money making tools on the Internet. They offer incredible conversion rates, and the possibility to call people to action in a very efficient way.
Creating a big list is a difficult task though, so if you have a popular website you could leverage it to increase the number of subscribers on your list.
Yaro Starak is a famous Internet marketer, and if you visit his blog you will notice that right on top he has a section encouraging visitors to subscribe to his email newsletter. Yaro generates five figures in revenues each month from his email newsletters, proving that this method works.
List of software to manage email newsletters:
AWeber
SendStudio NX
PHP Autoresponder
Constant Contact

25. Offering Consulting and Related Services
Depending on your niche, you could make money by offering consulting and related services. If you are also the author of your blog, the articles and information that you will share will build your profile and possibly certify your expertise on that niche, making it easier to gain customers.
Chris Garrett used a similar strategy. First he created a highly influential blog on the blogging and new media niche, and afterwards he started offering consulting services to clients with related problems and needs.

24. Selling Templates or WordPress Themes
As more and more people decide to get an online presence, website templates and WordPress themes become hotter and hotter.
On this segment you have mainstream websites like TemplateMonster, as well as individual designers who decide to promote and sell their work independently.
Brian Gardner and Unique Blog Designs are two examples of websites that make money with the sales of premium and custom WordPress themes.

23. Selling a Hardcover Book
Many authors and journalists leverage their blogs or websites to sell copies of hardcover books. Examples include Guy Kawasaki, Seth Godin and Malcolm Gladwell.
While most of these people were already renowned authors before they created their website, one could also follow the other way around. Lorelle VanFossen did exactly that with her Blogging Tips book. First she built her authority on the subject via her blog, and afterwards she published the book.
List of self publishing and publishing services:

22. Selling an Ebook
Perhaps one of the oldest money making strategies on the web, using a website to promote a related ebook is a very efficient way to generate revenue.
You could either structure the website around the book itself, like SEOBook.com, or launch the ebook based on the success of the website, like FreelanceSwitch did we the book How to be a Rockstar Freelancer.

21. Selling the Website
Selling your website could be your last resource, but it has the potential to generate a big sum of money in a short period of time.
Market places on online forums like DigitalPoint and Sitepoint are always active with website buyers and sellers. Keep in mind that they most used parameter to determine the value of a website is the monthly revenue that it generates, multiplied by a certain number (the multiplier can be anything from 5 to 30, depending on the expectations of the seller, on the quality of the site, on the niche and other factors).
Some people also make money trading and flipping websites. They either create them from scratch or buy existing ones, and after some revamping they sell them for a profit.

Indirect Methods

20. Audio Ads
Also called PPP (Pay Per Play), this advertising method was introduce by Net Audio Ads. the concept is pretty simple: play a small audio advertising (usually 5 seconds) every time a visitor enters into your website. The user should not be able to stop it, creating a 100% conversion rate based on unique visitors.
The company is still rolling tests, but some users are reporting to get from a $4 to a $6 CPM. Regardless of the pay rate, though, this is a very intrusive form of advertising, so think twice before using it.

19. Pop-ups and Pop-unders
Pop-ups are a common yet annoying form of advertising on the Internet. If you are just trying to make a much money as possible from your website, you could experiment with them.
If you are trying to grow the traffic and generate loyal visitors, however, you probably should stay away from them. Just consider the hundreds of pop-up blockers out there: there is a reason why they are so popular.
Ad networks that use pop-ups:
Tribal Fusion
PayPopup
PopupAd
Adversal

18. In-text Adverting
In-text adverting networks like Kontera and Vibrant Media will place sponsored links inside your text. These links come with a double underline to differentiate them from normal links, and once the user rolls the mouse over the link the advertising will pop. Should the user click on it the site owner will make some money.
Some people make good money with this method, but others refrain from using it due to its intrusiveness. It is also interesting to note that very few mainstream websites have experimented with in-text advertising.

17. Donations
Placing a “Donate” link or button on a website can be an efficient way to earn money, especially if your blog is on a niche where readers learn and gain value from your content.
Personal development and productivity blogs, for instance, tend to perform well with donation based systems (one good example being Steve Pavlina).
A small variation of this method appeared sometime ago with the Buy Me a Beer plugin. This WordPress plugin enables you to insert a customized message at the bottom of each article, asking the readers to chip in for a beer or coffee.

15. Selling or Renting Internal Pages
Million Dollar Wiki made this concept popular, but it was being used on the web for a long time around (check Pagerank10.co.uk for instance).
These websites sell for a single fee or rent for a recurring fee internal pages on their domain. Usually they have either high Pagerak or high traffic, so that people purchasing a page will be able to benefit in some way.
Implementing this method on a small blog would be difficult, but the concept is interesting and could be explored further.
16. Highlighted Posts from Sponsors
Techmeme probably pioneered this idea, but somehow it has not spread to other websites. The tech news aggregator displays editorial posts on the left column, and on the sidebar they have a section titled “Techmeme Sponsor Posts.”
On that section posts from the blog of the advertisers get highlighted, sending qualified traffic their way. Considering that the monthly cost for one spot is $5000 and that they have around 6 sponsors at any given time, it must be working well.

14. Paid Surveys and Polls
There are services that will pay you money to run a small survey or poll on your website. The most popular one is called Vizu Answers.
Basically you need to sign up with them, and select the kind of polls that you want to run your site. Most of these services operate under a CPM model.

13. Marketplaces
Sitepoint is the online marketplace by excellence. Some websites and blogs, however, are trying to replicate that model on a smaller scale.
Depending on your niche, a market place that allows your visitors to buy, sell and trade products could work well. Over the time you could start charging a small fee for new product listings.
The problem with this method is that there are no standard software on the web, so you would need to hire a coder to get a marketplace integrated into your website.
You can see an example of a marketplaces being used on EasyWordpress and on Mashable.

12. Job Boards
All the popular blogs are trying to leverage job boards to make some extra income. Guy Kawasaki, ReadWriteWeb, Problogger… you name it.
Needless to say that in order to create an active and profitable job board you need first to have a blog focused on a specific niche, and a decent amount traffic.
The advantage of this method is that it is passive. Once you have the structure in place, the job listings will come naturally, and you can charge anywhere from $10 up to $100 for each.
List of popular job board software:
JobThread
Web Scribe Job Board
SimplyHired Job-o-matic
Jobbex

11. Private Forums
While the Internet is populated with free forums, there is also the possibility to create a private one where members need to pay a single or recurring fee to join.SEO Blackhat charges $100 monthly from its members, and they have thousands of them. Obviously in order to charge such a price for a forum membership you need to provide real value for the members (e.g., secret techniques, tools, and so on).
Performancing also launched a private forum recently, focused on the networking aspect. It is called The Hive, and the monthly cost is $10.
These are just two examples. There are many possibilities to create a private and profitable forum, you just need to find an appealing angle that will make it worth for the members.
List of popular forum software:
vBulletin
Simple Machines Forum
phpBB
Vanilla

10.Premium Content
Some websites and blogs give away part of their content for free, and charge for access to the premium content and exclusive tools.
SEOMoz is a good example. They have a very popular blog that gives advice and information on wide range of SEO related topics. On top of that visitors can decide to become premium members. It costs $48 monthly and it grants them access to guides, tools and other exclusive material.

9. Sponsors for Single Columns or Events
If you website has specific columns or events (e.g., a weekly podcast, an interview series, a monthly survey, a special project) you could find companies to sponsor them individually.
This method increases the monetization options for website owner, while giving advertisers the possibility to target a more specific audience and with a reduced commitment.
Mashable illustrates the case well. They have several advertising options on the site, including the possibility to sponsor specific columns and articles, including the “Daily Poll” and the “Web 2.0 Invites.”
Problogger also runs group writing projects occasionally, and before proceeding he publicly announce the project asking for sponsors.

8. RSS Feed Ads
With the quick adoption of the RSS technology by millions of Internet users, website owners are starting to find ways to monetize this new content distribution channel.
Feedburber already has its own publisher network, and you can sign-up to start displaying CPM based advertising on your feed footer. Bidvertiser recently introduced a RSS feed ad option as well, with a PPC scheme.
Finally, some blogs are also opting to sell banners or sponsored messages on their feed directly. John Chow and Marketing Pilgrim are two examples.

Feedburner

7. Sponsored Reviews
PayPerPost pioneered this model, with much controversy on the beginning (related to the fact that they did not require disclosure on paid posts). Soon other companies followed, most notably Sponsored Reviews and ReviewMe, refining the process and expanding the paid blogging model.
Joining one of these sponsored reviews marketplaces will give you the opportunity to write sponsored posts on a wide range of topics. Not all bloggers are willing to get paid to write about a specific product or website (because it might compromise the editorial credibility), but the ones who do are making good money out of it.
If your blog has a big audience you could also offer sponsored reviews directly, cutting off the commissions of the middleman.
List of sponsored reviews and paid blogging networks:
PayPerPost
Sponsored Reviews
ReviewMe
BlogVertise
Smorty

6. Monetization Widgets
The latest trend on the web are widgets that let you monetize your website. Examples include Widgetbucks and SmartLinks. Some of these services operate under a PPC scheme, others behave like text link ads, others yet leverage affiliate links.
Their main differentiator, however, is the fact that they work as web widgets, making it easier for the user to plug and play the service on its website.
List of companies that provide monetization widgets:
WidgetBucks
ScratchBack
SmartLinks

5. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a very popular practice on the Internet. Under this system you have a merchant that is willing to let other people (the affiliates) sell directly or indirectly its products and services, in exchange for a commission. Sometimes this type of advertising is also called CPA (cost per action) or CPL (cost per lead) based.
Affiliates can send potential customers to the merchant using several tools, from banners to text links and product reviews.
In order to find suitable affiliate programs you can turn to individual companies and publishers like Dreamhost and SEOBook, or join affiliate marketplaces and networks.
List of popular affiliate marketplaces and networks:
Commission Junction
ClickBank
Azoogle Ads
Link Share

4. Text Link Ads
After Google declared that sites selling text links without the nofollow tag would be penalized, this monetization method became less popular.
Many website owners are still using text links to monetize their sites, though, some using the nofollow tag and some not.
The advantage of this method is that it is not intrusive. One can sell text links directly through his website or use specialized networks like Text-Link-Ads and Text-Link-Brokers to automate the process.
Text link marketplaces and networks:
DigitalPoint Link Sales Forum
Text-Link-Ads
Text-Link-Brokers
TNX
LinkWorth

3. Direct Banner Advertising
Selling your own advertising space is one of the most lucrative monetization methods. First and foremost because it enables you to cut out the middleman commissions and to determine your own rates. The most popular banner formats on the web are the 728×90 leaderboard, the 120×600 skyscraper, the 300×250 rectangle and the 125×125 button.
The downside of direct banner advertising is that you need to have a big audience to get qualified advertisers, and you will need to spend time managing the sales process, the banners and the payments.

2. CPM Advertising Networks
CPM advertising networks behave pretty much as PPC networks, except that you get paid according to the number of impressions (i.e., page views) that the ads displayed on your site will generate. CPM stands for Cost per Mille, and it refers to the cost for 1,000 impressions.
A blog that generates 100,000 page views monthly displaying an advertising banner with a $1 CPM, therefore, will earn $100 monthly.
CPM rates vary with the network, the position of the ad and the format. The better the network, the higher the CPM rate (because they have access to more advertisers). The closer you put the ad to the top of the page, the higher the CPM. The bigger the format (in terms of pixels), the higher the CPM.
You can get as low as $0,10 and as high as $10 per 1,000 impressions (more in some special cases). CPM advertising tends to work well on websites with a high page views per visitor ratio (e.g., online forums, magazines and so on).
List of popular CPM advertising networks:
Casale Media
Burst Media
Value Click
Advertising.com
Tribal Fusion
Right Media

1. PPC Advertising Networks
Google AdSense is the most popular option under this category, but there are also others. Basically you need to sign up with the network and paste some code snippets on your website. The network will then serve contextual ads (either text or images) relevant to your website, and you will earn a certain amount of money for every click.
The profitability of PPC advertising depends on the general traffic levels of the website and, most importantly, on the click-through rate (CTR) and cost per click (CPC). The CTR depends on the design of the website. Ads placed abode the fold or blended with content, for instance, tend to get higher CTRs. The CPC, on the other hand, depends on the nice of the website. Mortgages, financial products and college education are examples of profitable niches (clicks worth a couple of dollars are not rare), while tech-related topics tend to receive a smaller CPC (sometimes as low as a couple of cents per click).
The source of the traffic can also affect the overall CTR rate. Organic traffic (the one that comes from search engines) tends to perform well because these visitors were already looking for something, and they tend to click on ads more often. Social media traffic, on the other hand, presents terribly low CTRs because these visitors are tech-savvy and they just ignore ads.
List of popular CPC advertising networks:
Google Adsense
Yahoo! Publisher Network (YPN)
BidVertiser
Chitika
Clicksor

Make Money Online Fast

In a minute I will give you three excellent quick ways to make money online, but first, here's what you need to know to earn an online income -- at "warp speed"! (Well, at least a LOT faster ;-)
Find a tight group of people who share a common problem. People usually come online searching for a solution to a problem. So your job is to find a group related to your area of interest, and figure out what you can offer them that will solve their problems!
Check out the competition to see if a solution is already available. Once you know what you'll offer them, make sure that it's NOT already being supplied by the competition -- or worse, being provided for free!
Make sure you can sell the product easily over the Internet. If you can't reach your market online, you won't be able to deliver them your solution -- no matter how good it is!
Once you've found your niche market and decided on the types of products that will deliver your market exactly what they're looking for, prepare to start padding your wallet.
As promised, here are 3 excellent ways to make money online -- fast!
Join an affiliate program. Promoting another company's product or service is hands-down one of the best free ways to make money online, fast. Read more about making money with affiliate programs.

Make Money Online with eBay
Want to make money online with eBay? Know your profit margins!
If you want to make money online with eBay, understanding your profit margins is crucial.
It's important to know roughly how much your items will sell for so you can work out how much you can afford to spend on buying stock and listing items -- and still make a profit!
Luckily, figuring this out boils down to a simple formula:
(Item Final Selling Price + Shipping and Handling Fee) - (Item Purchase Cost + eBay Listing Fees + eBay Final Value Fees + PayPal or Credit Card Fees + Shipping Costs) = Profit
Let's say you list a picture frame you bought for $2 at a garage sale with a starting price of $0.99 and a gallery picture (listing fees: $0.65). You then sell it for $10 plus $5 for shipping, incurring an eBay final value fee of $0.53 and PayPal Premier Account fees of $0.75. Let’s say it cost $3.80 to actually mail it in a bubble wrap envelope that cost you $0.20.
So your profit margin is: ($10 + $5) - ($2 + $0.65 + $0.53 + $0.75 + $4) = $7.07.
As you can see, there are a lot of factors involved in working out your final profit on a sale.
Now that you know how to figure out the profit margins of a particular item, it's time to decide on a pricing strategy. Will you sell high volumes of items with slim profit margins or fewer high-profit items?
Here are some tips on how to make money online with eBay using both pricing strategies:
Sell high volumes of items with a low profit margin. It is possible to make money online with eBay using this strategy -- provided you sell enough items! The key to your success will be having good, reliable suppliers and a method for staying on top of all the extra work involved in listing lots of auctions and shipping lots of items.
Sell fewer items with a high profit margin. Selling high-priced items generally means you need to sell fewer of them to make money.
But selling high-priced items on eBay can be more difficult than selling items of lower value. For one thing, there's often a smaller market for high-priced items. And, you need to work harder to establish your credibility as a seller since very few people will pay a high price for an item from an untrustworthy source.
Once you figure out your profit margins and pricing strategies, you'll be able to source products with confidence and enjoy fatter profit margins as you make money online with eBay!

Free Tips On Making Money Online
Can you make money online with affiliate programs? You bet!
Read on to get some free tips to making money online with affiliate programs...
First off, there are basically two ways you can make money online with affiliate programs:
Join another company's affiliate program. When you sign up for another company's affiliate program, you promote their products or services on your website. Whenever someone clicks through from your website to theirs and buys something, you earn a referral fee.
Start your own affiliate program. If you already sell a product or service on your website, you can start your own affiliate program. You get other people to promote YOUR products. Whenever someone they've referred makes a sale, YOU pay them a commission.
Here are some online affiliate program money-making tips for joining another company's program:
Promote only quality products or services. Ask yourself if you would personally use the products you're recommending. You'll be able to sell more convincingly AND your customers will come to trust you.
Fill your site with keyword-rich content. If you want to make money online with affiliate programs -- and lots of it -- you need to attract lots of targeted traffic. The more people you can refer, the more sales will be generated, and the more money you'll earn. You'll also give your customers a compelling reason to return to your site.
Now, let's look at some free tips to making money online with affiliate programs promoting your own products:
Offer a generous commission. You'll attract more affiliates and motivate them to work harder for you if you pay out a decent commission. Don't be afraid to give out up to 50% of your product price. You'll benefit from increased traffic and sales from sources you don't have access to. PLUS, you get to keep 100% of the profits from any subsequent purchases those customers make from you.
Use tracking software. Invest in affiliate tracking software like AssocTrac that will manage all your affiliate chores -- automatically. As your affiliate program grows, you can end up spending all your time keeping track of affiliate sales, commissions, and payouts!
Offer your affiliates free resources. Help your affiliates help you by giving them banners, text ads, or informative articles about your products and services. Your affiliates will be more effective, and both you and your affiliates will benefit from it.
It is definitely possible to make money online with affiliate programs -- whether you join someone else's program or start your own.

Free Tips On Making Money Online
The critical first step to making money with an online business
There are many reliable ways to make money online.
You can earn money by displaying ads on your website. You can earn affiliate commissions by promoting other people's products. You can use drop-shippers to sell name-brand products on your website. Or you can develop and sell a product of your own.
Making money with an online business is possible using any of these methods. But for any of them to be lucrative, there's something you NEED to do first: find a viable niche market -- BEFORE you invest time and money promoting a product nobody wants!
To make sure you're on the right track, here are some general guidelines that are absolutely crucial to making money with an online business:
Make sure you're targeting a well-defined, narrow niche. The most accessible markets on the Web are highly focused. Let's say, for example, you want to sell all-natural vitamins online. If you try to target "everyone who takes vitamins," you'll have to compete with giant vitamin companies. But if you establish your niche market as "people who are allergic to artificial colors and flavors in vitamins," you won't have to!
Make sure your market has a problem and is seeking a solution for it. Don't try to give your market something YOU think they need; give them something THEY think they need -- a solution to a problem they're actively searching for. (You can use keyword research to help you discover those problems.)
Make sure your market is willing to pay for a solution to their problem. If your market won't pay money for a product or service that solves their problem, your business isn't going to generate much of a profit! Find out how much they're willing to spend for a solution, and make sure that you can sell your product or service at that price and still generate a profit.
Make sure there aren't a number of products that already offer a solution to their problem. If your market already has a variety of products or services to pick and choose from, what makes you think they'll want to buy yours? You have to be able to offer your market something they can't get anywhere else.
Make sure your product DOES offer a viable solution to their problem. Try giving a small number of new products away -- for free -- to a small group of people and ask them for feedback to make sure they like your product, and feel it does a good job of solving their problem.
Once you've found a viable market, you'll be better able to come up with a product or service that will satisfy their needs. You'll also be able to hit the ground running using any of the reliable ways to make money online -- and guarantee your success from the start!

Well, one way to make money from your web site is to allow other businesses to advertise on it. And the easiest way to do that is with Google AdSense.
Google's AdSense program is a business service that allows you to make money by displaying targeted text ads on your website. The ads are paid for by Google AdWords advertisers who want to attract new customers with pay-per-click advertising.
Here's how the Google AdSense program works:
You become an AdSense "publisher" when you sign up for an AdSense account with Google. Every time one of your visitors clicks on one of the text ads displayed on your site, you earn money.
The text ads are small and unobtrusive. And because the ads are "contextual" (or related in some way to your site content), they can actually add value to your customers. Google also allows you to block certain ads or content that might compete with your own.
One warning, however. As easy as it is to make money with Google AdSense, there are potential drawbacks. If you sell products and services on your website, for example, you can end up hurting your own sales by diverting traffic AWAY from your website!
That said, there ARE ways to maximize your revenue with AdSense. Here are five proven tips on making money online with Google AdSense:
Attract lots of targeted traffic to your site: The more people who see your ads, the more ad clicks you are likely to get. And the more your site content relates to this traffic, the more likely your visitors are to be interested in related ads.
Target high-paying ads: Ads that promote desirable, big-ticket items (like electronics or holidays) will most likely pay more because they have higher bid prices on keywords.
Maintain good, keyword-rich content: If you have keyword-rich content, the ads that show up will also be highly targeted, and therefore more likely to be relevant to your visitors.
Format and position your ads for profit: Putting the ads in the correct place on your web site, and in a format that will draw the eyes of visitors will contribute to better click-through rates.
Constantly track and test: Tracking and testing your ads allows you to find out which format and placement of ads have the highest click-through rates. This is also critical to making sure that AdSense is NOT negatively affecting your sales.
By following the above tips on making money online with Google AdSense, you can easily add another stream of revenue to your business. You can also get additional free tips on making money online from Google.

Free ways to make money online
Free information on how to make money online from home
Maybe you even found this article by searching online for one of these very phrases!
So what are all these free ways to make money online?
One way is through a blog -- a frequently updated website containing news, links, and the thoughts of the authors. Blogs are massively popular. At the last count, blog directory Technorati.com was tracking more than 50 million of them!

Sign up (for free of course!) to be a Google AdSense publisher: Google AdSense allows you to display text ads on blogs. The ads are related to the blog content. So, if you write an article about dogs, you might see ads for companies selling dog toys, books about dogs, and so on.You make money every time someone clicks on an ad on your blog. It's not a lot -- only a few cents per click -- but it can mount up if you target your content to attract higher-value ads. For example, you could write about hot products like home electronics.
Join affiliate programs: You can also promote another company's products on your blog by joining their affiliate program. This time, instead of being paid for every click on an ad, you get paid when someone who clicks through from your site actually makes a purchase. When that happens, you earn a sales commission.And the returns can be far higher than AdSense -- even as much as 100% commission!
Ask for donations: If you're an especially good writer, and your blog builds up a loyal readership, you can ask your readers for donations to help keep the blog going. Paypal allows you to accept donations through a "Donate" button on your blog.

Make Money Online
Before you start an online business: Five ways to make money online
BEFORE you start an online business, take some time to look at the following tips to making money online and decide which business model is right for you.
After talking with hundreds of website owners and analyzing thousands of websites, we've discovered that there are five basic ways to make money online.
How To Make Money Online
Sell productsThis option gives you total control over your business. You make products or buy them wholesale, set the price, make the sale, rake in the money — all with no one telling you what to do. Things to consider: Find out if there's a demand for the product. Plan how you'll make the product or stock your inventory. Consider shipping costs — will they add too much to the cost of your product?Good market research at the beginning reaps big rewards later.
Sell a serviceWhen you sell a service over the Internet, you're in control, you can specify the terms of any sale, and you're offering something that no one else can: namely, YOU.Things to consider: You only have so many hours to spend. That limits how much money you can make. Try to develop some related products that will "sell while you sleep."If your service is restricted to a local market, get your site included in all your area's online business directories, and exchange links with related local businesses.
Sell an information productFor pure profitability, NOTHING beats an info product! Because you deliver them in digital formats via email, shipping is instantaneous and free. And there's no limit to how much you can sell!Things to consider: You have to create the content first, and it has to be quality stuff. But YOU don't necessarily have to create it. There are thousands of freelancers out there who can do your writing, research, or layout. Pay them a one-off fee, then you can sell your product as many times as you like!You could also buy ready-to-sell info products — reprint rights to proven sellers are occasionally available to buy, and often come with a well-known name attached to make your selling job easier.
Become an affiliateAs an affiliate you promote other people's products and services on your website, and send potential customers their way. Whenever that lead makes a purchase, you get paid.This business model is easy to set up right out of the gate. You have no cost outlay and good profit potential. And businesses with successful affiliate programs even supply their affiliates with images, salescopy, and everything they need to generate sales.Things to consider: Margins can be slim and there's also a lot of competition. Do your research and find affiliate programs for products that offer a good commission and have good conversion rates without oversaturating the market.
Drop ship"Drop shipping" is collecting orders and payments for products, then passing those orders on to the supplier to send out to the customer.The customer pays you, you pay the supplier, and you pocket the difference. In this business model, you can make decent profits, you don't have to deal with inventory and shipping yourself, and you can use your customer contact information for email marketing.Things to consider: You have less control over the price, and NO control over product delivery or customer service. As with affiliates, choose your business partners with care!
Oh, and if you thought multi-level marketing would be on this list... sorry!To be blunt, we don't recommend this option. In our experience, very few people actually make money online this way, and most end up losing money (and annoying their friends and family) despite their best intentions.

Ways to Make Money Online Selling Information
Discover ways to make money online selling information -- even if you don't have your own product!
If you're looking for ways to make money online selling information -- but don't have the time or money to develop your own product -- consider buying the reprint or resale rights to someone else's.
Basically, you purchase the right to sell an already established product. And depending on the type of rights you purchase, you keep either a percentage of the sales or all of the proceeds.
In the best-case scenario, you can even purchase a master license -- which gives you the right to sell the purchasing rights to other people!
Selling information to make money online is extremely easy when you buy the rights for an already established product. Not only do you capitalize on the good name of the author, but you don't have to spend any time developing your own product!
Let's take a look at the three types of rights you can buy to make money online with information:
Resell rights. When you purchase resell rights, what you're actually purchasing is the right to sell a product for someone else -- a product that they continue to own. Because you don't actually have control over the product, you keep only a percentage of each sale as your commission.
Reprint rights. Reprint rights cost more than resell rights, because you keep 100% of the proceeds from any sales! You can also make as many copies of the product as you wish, and sell as many as you can.
Master rights. Master rights are the most valuable of the three, and therefore are the most expensive. As with reprint rights, you have permission to reproduce and sell the product for 100% of the profit. But you're ALSO allowed to sell the actual reprint rights to the product to other people! So even though they cost more, you automatically start out with two separate streams of income — sales of the product and sales of the rights.
The majority of products that carry rights on the Internet right now are information-based products. So it's the perfect time to make money online with information by buying reprint rights.
Here are just some of the ways to make money online selling information products:
eBooks. eBooks are the most popular, so you can usually find eBooks that are suitable to resell to your market -- no matter who your audience is.
Email courses. An email course is often delivered in smaller pieces over a course of days or weeks -- and as the name suggests, you email it to the customer, rather than sending them to a website where they download it.
E-zine articles. You can frequently buy individual articles to use as content for your own e-zine. This is a good choice if you want to deliver an e-zine to your audience, but don't have the time (or desire) to write it yourself.
As you can see, selling information to make money online is quick and easy when you purchase the rights to sell an established product.
