Direct Methods
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(WHICH I AM USING)
* Chitika
* Clicksor
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
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.

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
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
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
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
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.
Related links:
* Feedburner
* BidVertiser
* Pheedo
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.

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:
* Lulu
* Self Publishing
* iUniverse
* WordClay
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

This will keep you from making the same mistakes over and over, and you can repeat the steps that have worked in the past. As simple as this step seems... most people do not know the reason(s) to their success or failure.
2) Utilize the latest tools and software available.
The Super AdSense earners are not any smarter than your average person. I know many people think they are... but for the most part, they are regular non techie people.
They are smarter in one respect though... they use the latest tools available to them to automate most of the tasks involved with researching and creating sites. They use the latest keyword, site creation and search engine optimization tools available. The tools they use are their secret weapons.
3) Quit chasing the Mega Dollar keywords.
You cannot compete with the search engine experts who create sites for the $80 payout keywords. You may get lucky every now and then... but in the long run, you are better off building sites for the low to mid range payout keywords. The competition is less, and your chance of success is much higher over the long term.
4) Choose broad niches and break it down.
Choose a broad subject as your main theme (lets use computers for an example). From there... break it down into as many sub niches as possible.
Using Computers as the example... you could build sub niches/sites like laptop computers, computer hard drives, computer keyboards, etc., etc. You could literally build hundreds of sites around one major theme and stay totally focused. Once you have exhausted every possible sub niche of that major theme... choose another main theme and repeat the process.
5) KISS
Keep your sites easy to navigate and forget the fancy graphics that distract your visitors attention. Unless you are just building AdSense sites for the fun of it and to impress your friends... the purpose of having the site is to have people click on one of the ads, right? Then keep the site layout simple... dump the scrolling banners, dancing chickens and colored scroll bars... they are distractions.
6) What is the purpose of your web site?
Your web site cannot be everything to everybody. If you have a full fledged ecommerce site, with products for sale... links to other products, it is not a good site for AdSense. If the primary focus of the site is to sell products... let it do that.
Do not distract or confuse your visitor with to many options or choices. The best AdSense sites are AdSense only content sites that sell nothing. They are sites that "Tell"... not "Sell."
7) Be consistent.
This is not one of those deals where you build one site and you are done. Refer back to Step #4. You must continuously build in order to be successful.
Think of it as planting a crop that you will harvest in a month or two, and the sites you build are seeds. Once the seeds have grown and matured... you will reap the harvest. The more seeds you plant... the larger the harvest.
To sum it up... utilize the tools available to automate as much of the process of building sites - doing research and building keyword lists as you can. This alone will help keep you organized and on track. Be consistent in building... treat it like the business it is and you will reap the rewards of your harvest.
1) Starting today... treat your AdSense business like it is a REAL business and track what you do.
Begin tracking what you are doing that works... as well as what you are doing that does not work. This will keep you from making the same mistakes over and over, and you can repeat the steps that have worked in the past. As simple as this step seems... most people do not know the reason(s) to their success or failure.

5 Easy Steps to Make Money Free Online
I remember being new to internet marketing a few years ago and found myself completely lost and confused about the whole thing. All I wanted was someone to give me a step by step way to make money free online. I eventually found a method that makes money online for me and it costs me absolutely nothing. I am going to run through the bare bones of the system here.
Step 1.
Choose a topic that you know a lot about that is quite focussed on one area. For example do not choose diets as the subject it is too wide. Choosing low carbohydrate diets would be much better.
Step 2.
Using the free version of wordtracker, find some good keywords that relate to your chosen niche. A good keyword will have a good number of people searching for a term and few websites competing for that term.
Step 3.
Go to clickbank and find 3 products that are on the topic that you have chosen. You are going to become an affiliate for these products. Sign up with clickbank and get your hoplinks and resources.
Step 4.
Use blogger to set up a free review site for the three products you have chosen. Give each of the products reviews and score them on a number of things such as value and product quality. Make sure you include product pictures and banners to do a good job of the blogger website.
Step 5.
This is where the hard work comes in. You need to write relevant articles on your topic. These articles will be based on the keywords you found in step 2. Submit these articles to article directories and include backlinks to your website. You need to write 30 articles as starting number. You will know if you have a good niche and set of products then. People click through to your website from your articles and then go to the products page to hopefully make a purchase. Because you are an affiliate you will earn a percentage of the sale value.
What makes this plan work is if you really work on the detail and quality of your articles. The rest of the system will make money free online for you once the articles are published.

How To Make Money Online And Work From Home - Easy Steps For Anyone
Anyone can make money online and work from home if they learn how. You do not need any startup cash, advanced writing skills or "expert" knowledge. Find out how in this article.
Start A Blog
The easiest way is to start a blog. Pick something in your life that you are passionate about (e.g. golf, scrapbooking) and go to Blogger.com and create a free blog.
Blogger is owned by Google so you can guarantee that you will get a lot of visitors.
Within Blogger, you can then add your own advertisements (called "Adsense") and everytime someone clicks on your ads you get cash!
Be Informative And Useful
You don't need to be a celebrated expert to make money online. If you pick a subject that you are passionate about and write meaningful and useful content then you will get a lot of visitors and a lot of cash.
A great way to look at your blog is to try and solve people's problems. For example, you might give golf tips or talk about how to strike a perfect swing. Alternatively, you could discuss "how to find cheap scrapbooking materials".
So long as you help people out and keep them interested then the word will spread about your blog and you will get more traffic. More traffic means more cash!
Affiliate Programs
Adding automatic Adsense ads is a great way to get started. You get paid a few cents per click.
But eventually you will want to refer your visitors to other websites where they can buy products. For instance, you could recommend a book on Amazon that will help your visitors to solve their problems.
If someone buys a book as a result of your referral then you can get commissions. With some affiliate programs, you can get paid as much as $1000 per sale!
More Ways To Make Money Online
There are so many more ways to make cash on the internet and I've barely touched the surface. For instance, you could make your own products or offer some kind of service. There are also many people who work as freelancers and do work for people on the other side of the globe!

STEPS TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE
There is the blog, waiting for you to make the right choice, to make money online. It can be a ride, putting together a profitable blog by writing every day. You need to write fast if you truly want to make money in the very beginning. Use that speed on your blog. This guide is more than a look at ways to make money online. You can earn a blogging income. You can make money online by writing. It's that simple. Let me tell you a story, of a blogging world where speed is crucial, where you can build an online career. Here are the steps.
Building Blogging Cash:
Smile at the blogging cash. It means you're a success. Speed blogging is its own definition of the way to build something. On the internet, speed wins over quality. Don't rush through everything, but you should consider speed building in the beginning. These steps can be looked at in various ways. It's more than just steps to make money online, because as we go forward, you will notice your own ideas being put together faster.
Speed Wins, Speed Earns:
You can learn this the easy way. Do that. Speed will win you over readers, because you will reach a larger audience. Speed wins because you will see more readers coming to read more posts on your blog. Speed means earning faster. Sound easy? It isn't. Consider it like a novel in the beginning: novels, in the first draft, are often races to the finish. The more you write, the more you uncover. Thoughts come fast. And keywords, which will be discussed later, come out of your typing naturally. You can edit forever, but the first draft is where the voice comes out.
Speed Means Writing:
Writing speed helps. There will be other assets to your speed blogging, but that is crucial to gaining a steady online income. Writing usually means a hidden structure. Structure helps you create more. Many books focus on structure as a means to writing more, and do so because speed is something all writers want. How do you get there? You get there by writing every day. The blog you started a month ago, maybe the one you forgot about, can help you make money online. Online income is big. But, I hear you saying, you have no time!
Earning Time, Earning Online Income:
Making money online is an odd way to say online income, but it seems to define the basics. Earning time is simple: you earn it by rewarding yourself, by making the right blogging choices. Sign up for a track counter on your blog, which allows you to see your visitor count. A good one to use is StatsCounter. This will show you what's popular on your blog, providing a page by page breakdown, and show you where to spend the majority of what time you have. Maybe now you will have a more focused goal for earning online income with a blog. Do you want it to be steady? Let's talk about structure.
Structure Works:
There is a hidden structure to every piece of good writing. A creative writer can put one and two together, forming a story (and they're all stories in some sense) to reach a reader. To make money online you will need to understand the speed of blog writing, true, but you will also want to learn this hidden structure. It's fairly complicated to say, but simple in practice. One crucial point of the hidden structure to speed blogging for online income is the "You-Factor". Sure, you lead an interesting life, and write about it on your blog. How does it apply to me? Even in paid posts, especially in paid posts, you will want to relate to your reader. Many think using "you" is wrong. That's a big mistake. Using "you" engages the reader. It helps them find a reason to keep reading, and maybe return to your blog. That's a huge victory.
Earning Blogging Income:
There are hundreds of topics on this subject. Speed, in no place more pronounced, works especially well when you are using paid post sites like Pay Per Post or Smorty to make money online. This means a blogging career, earning blogging cash. Those are big things. Here is an example: you use Smorty.com for paid blogging, typing up short posts for high pay. However, the opportunities on Smorty are available to everyone. You pick one, you have to write on it. Speed comes in: the faster you can write, the faster you will get to the next paid post. One post at a time, that's the way it goes. Not all sites are like that, but you will learn a good lesson in paid blogging if you understand it. There it is, the reason to speed up your blogging career.
Days of the Keyword:
Fast writing, in another sense, is full of keywords. Keywords are your path to build an online career, gaining online income on a daily basis. You can use all the keywords you want on a blog, on any given post. This applies to the structure of your speed blogging. For one, if you can outline a piece choosing 2-4 strong keywords, and use them, you will find success. If you write fast on important topics, with these keywords and a structure, I guarantee you'll have more than just a good time, as you will be earning blogging cash.
