The idea of working from home, being your own boss, spending only a few hours and earning a decent income is something that appeals to most people. It's understandable due the huge amounts of money that can be made online and the fact that you get to work for yourself while doing it.
There are many ways to make money online, that's the beauty of the internet. Below is a list of six different but popular methods of making money online.
1. Set up a Blog or Website for profit
One of the best ways to earn money online is to create a blog or website and have (google adsense) advertisements on the blog or website which earns you money every time someone clicks on the google adds.
There are lots of different types of money making blogs and websites but you will need to direct traffic to your blogs/websites because without traffic you won't make any money.
2. Affiliate Marketing
As an affiliate marketer, you are a bit like a sales person for the site(s) you are directing traffic to. But because the selling is done pretty much by the merchant you don't need to do much selling. See the merchant has invested lots of money on their product and service, and on their marketing too. What you have to do is, deliver traffic to the merchants website who then takes care of everything from that point on.
3.Creating your own information production and selling it.
Creating your own information product(s) can be one of the easiest ways to make money online and earn a decent profit in short period of time. Information products come in many forms from short reports, e-books, video content etc. Information products can be sold by itself or in a series bundled together in a physical product or digital to be downloaded online.
4. Domaining
Although buying and selling domains is not a get-rich-quick enterprise, domains can be a good investment. As the need for a Web presence continues to grow, domain names should go up in value.
Buying domains to sell is a great investment: it has little risk and can have high profits, and its open to anyone with a bank/credit card to buy the domains and a bank account to deposit what profits you make from selling the domains.
5. Participate in Get Paid to Websites

These types of websites are in business by receiving money from their advertisers, they then share a percentage of their earnings with their members who helped them generate more money into their networks. To participate with these get paid to websites you will have to sign up with them first.

The Real Way to Make Money Online
Earning a passive online income is certainly a possibility. It will require a lot of hard work and effort to succeed. If you are only searching for ways on how to make fast money then you will probably fail to make any kind of online income. Stay away from anything that offers you "Overnight" success, or "Get Rich Quick" programs.
The smartest thing you can do is to thoroughly research how to make money online from reliable sources. Then inspect your findings by testing what works and what doesn't. You can gain the right knowledge to be successful without paying anything. There are plenty of websites and bloggers willing to offer free advice. Their reward is the search traffic you bring and in return this means added revenue for them.
Also there are numerous Internet marketing guides and sites that offer simple ways on how to make money online. Don't be like most people who give up just because they don't have the patience or the time to spend learning the right skills. You have to keep learning as this is a market place where learning never stops.
Stop looking for the 'best ways to earn money immediately', and start looking for the 'best ways to learn the real skills' that you need, then you'll actually be quite surprised by just how much money you can earn using those valuable skills.
Put the effort in and it won't take long to learn the skills. And because so few people give up at this stage, you're already ahead of 99% of the people trying to make money online.
You can become who you want to be if you have enough passion to succeed with your chosen goal.
See that's the real secret formula used by the money making gurus past and present and that's to achieve what they set out to do with passion and desire to succeed. That's all the motivation you need. When they set out to do something they will succeed no matter how much effort and time it takes.
Maintain your desire and remember that your desire will be like coals on the fire to keep you going towards the success of making money online.
Remember millions of people are making money online today, while millions upon millions more believe it can't be done. The online entrepreneurs who make money online are more than happy with those who believe it can't be done...after all that's less competition for them.

The Truth About Online Marketing, May Not Be What You Want To Hear
Maybe you are a stay home mom, supplementing household income. Perhaps you are a college student or starving artist, with a need to create income.
Many are victims of the economy. What we used to call corporate downsizing has reached a whole new level.. creating huge numbers of skilled, educated and out of work baby boomers.
If you are over 50.. you know first hand how hard it can be to find work in your field that pays for your experience. Few are finding greener pastures.
Thus... Swarms of folks are seeking those greener pastures online.
YES, there are many people who are making tremendous amounts of money online. But the promises of overnight riches, "slap up a website today and rake in the cash tomorrow"... are empty promises at best.
Online marketing is like anything else. Most of the work is done by 10% of the group. (Consider your PTA, church, networking groups). Online marketing is no different.
Out of 100 newbies who turn to the internet, maybe 10 will make the effort and have the where with all to learn the ropes, do what it takes and stay the course, long enough to make any real money.
The other 90 will dabble, putter, spit and sputter only to quit and blame the internet for their losses.
You will have to make a determined commitment to learn and then do or die, in order to rank among top online marketers.. Just like you would if you dipped into your retirement to open a brick-n-mortar franchise.
The TRUTH about Online Marketing is that it is so inexpensive to get started. That is why so few succeed. It's just too easy to quit and walk away.
If you had to invest even close to the 80-150K that the average franchisee must bring to the table.. chances are your level of commitment would be what it would take to be one of the to 10% online.
So like it or not, the truth is that if your commitment level is less than "do or die"; You won't have what it takes to be a top Online marketer. Keep looking for something that will reward you for dabbling.
But if you simply MUST turn rags to riches.. and have the mindset of an entrepreneur, then there is gold in online marketing for you.

The Success Formula For Information Marketing
If you are going to build a successful information marketing business, you are going to go through several phases. You are going to try lots of different methods to get leads and convert them, to create information products, communicate, advertise, promote and maintain good customer relations.
I think it's important for me to mention here that I have already felt your pain. I have been through the struggles you are going to face as you start an online business. I wasn't successful overnight-not by a long shot.
I can't emphasize enough that, when I started out, it was just me sitting in my bedroom. I lived in trailer then. Seriously, it was just a little trailer, maybe 500 square feet of living space. I can remember that when I moved into that trailer, it was hard for me to come up with the rent for the pad it was on. I think it was $135 a month, and the first couple of months I had a hard time swinging it.
But I had my little desk right next to my bed, and I had a computer. I had never built a web page. I didn't even know what pay-per-click advertising was. A friend of mine showed it to me.
At that point, I had never written a book. I had never published an information product of any kind. I had never done any of this stuff. What's more, I didn't have access to any of the amazing free and low-cost tools that are available right now to build your information marketing business. Nobody showed me how to find niches that work or how to publish my information products.
What I'm trying to communicate is that I understand what it's like to be at the beginning and not have all this success around me. So when I give you a blueprint for success in information marketing, it is based on hard-earned experience. I don't take it lightly, and neither should you.
So here's the basic outline. My "money making" formula is based upon what I like to call the Three Pillars.
Customers + Content + Conversion = Info Marketing Success
Number one is the Customer pillar, which is everything you do to get leads, to drive traffic, to get people to come to you web site and opt-in and do things like that.
Number two is your Content pillar, which is comprised of your information products and services, the things that you actually sell to people, the things that carry your information to your customers.
Number three is your Conversion pillar, which is everything that you do to get the visitors that come to your web site to then convert and buy things. This pillar includes things like your e-mail newsletters, your sales letters, and so forth.
Any success you achieve in information marketing must include all three pillars. You can't leave one out, and there are no shortcuts. Just like a stool with only two legs cannot stand, neither can an information marketing business succeed without solid customers, content and conversion.

Internet Marketing for Beginners
Internet Marketing can be a strange world for beginners. So much information to take in, so much to learn, so many people who want your hard-earned cash. This article will explain all about Internet Marketing for beginners and how you can start profiting today.
So let's get right into it.
You should be reading this article if you haven't made any money online yet, are just starting out and need to re-learn the basics, or even if you still consider yourself a beginner in Internet Marketing.
There are main methods of making money online:
1) Selling Your Own Stuff
This involves creating an information product such as a PDF report containing a guide for something (how to lose weight, for example), an audio or video series, and/or tutorials. Basically you should be selling your visitors information which solves a problem that they're currently having.
Even if you're a beginner in the niche you're selling to, you can still collect information from elsewhere and compile it into a completely new product.
You can see why this is particularly effective in modern society, as we're increasingly becoming an information-based society to improve our skills to solve problems.
However, if you're an Internet Marketing beginner, you should avoid 'popular' niches such as weight loss, health and fitness, and the make money online niche.
2) Selling Other People's Stuff - 'Affiliate Marketing'
This is particularly effective for making easy cash, as someone else has already created a product FOR YOU, so you can jump straight into the marketing side of it to make some quick cash (which is what beginners usually enjoy).
Essentially, you sell someone else's product for a split of the profit, set by the product owner, usually as a percentage. This is called a 'commission'.
When you sign up to their affiliate programme, you'll be given a special link which you should send to your customers to order through. When someone orders through your link, the product owner will see it and pay you the agreed commission.
3) Advertising Revenue
The basic idea here is to build a website in a specific niche to receive a lot of visitors ('traffic') and eventually put advertising on it when it grows popular. This may be tough as a beginner, so it's usually best to create some authority for your personal brand to begin with.
Probably the most popular advertising advertising revenue source is 'Google AdSense'. All you have to do is copy and paste a unit of code on your website to display their advertisements, and you get paid every time someone clicks on one of the advertisement links.
Finally, there's advertising banners. These aren't as popular as they were previously, mainly due to losing their responsiveness and getting damn annoying, but are still a good source of income for people who consider themselves beginners at Internet Marketing.
So with all of these choices available to you, which is the most profitable in the long term? The answer: Creating and selling your own product. This is because you have freedom to change anything - the price, the offer, the product... Anything! Also, it's easier keep customers in the long term, which you wouldn't usually get with affiliate promotions.
I hope this article on Internet Marketing For Beginners has helped, and good luck with your product creating!
