How To Make Online Money

To simplify all the hype about how to make money online, let me spell out the only 3 ways to make money from the internet:

1. Advertising.  Someone pays you to use some screen space at your site.  There are various types, which I’ll cover in another article.  Some pay you for clicks, some for the number of times their ad is seen.
2. Selling someone else’s product/service. This is known as ‘affiliate marketing’.  You become an ‘affiliate’ of some company, and then when you refer a visitor to that site and they take action (like buying something or subscribing to a service), the company pays you.
3. Selling your own product/service. Eventually you will want to develop your own product to sell.  It’s nicer when you get the full cut, not just part, and it gives you focus.  Rather than casting your seed to the wind and hoping something takes root, it gives you a singular purpose.

There are many people making money from each of these three ways, and I will explain how to do each here on this site.
