How to make Money online
Many people get on the internet read some articles and
decide.... Making money on the internet is really easy. However,
I believe it is not a piece of cake but once you fortify your
position it is easy to continue the flow of money.
If I was to start making money online, I would firstly start a
Web-site with a unique idea that enables it to stand out from
the competition - and most importantly, dedicate lots of time to
it.
One of the primary things a website needs to have is content,
content and content. The reason for this is search engine
spiders feed on content and this helps you to get into SERPS.
Search Engines are a cost free way to drive a lot of traffic to
your sites, I don't believe in paying a lot of money to SEO
agencies to optimize my site for Search Engine, I'd take a piece
of pizza, some orange juice and begin reading the plethora of
SEO articles available on the internet.
Lots of money lies in the Advertising field. Be it
•Pay Per Click Advertising(PPC) •Pay Per Action
(PPA) •Pay Per Thousand Advertising(PPM [M is the roman
numeral for 1000]) •Affiliate/Reseller Programs
•Newsletter Advertising
The PPC, PPA, and PPM are basically comprised of
•Banner Advertising •Text Link Advertising
Now all these venues of Advertising are made possible only by
the ability of running a Website. I shall briefly explain the
above mentioned Advertising mediums :
•PPC - This could comprise of banner(s) or text-link(s)
which on being clicked by a visitor on your site, earn you some
money for the click. •PPA - This could comprise of a
banner(s) or text-link(s) which when clicked on directs your
visitor to a registration form, only if the user signs up for
the form will you earn a little money for the ‘action'
•PPM - This could comprise of banner(s) or text-link(s)
which when displayed thousand times on your webpage will earn
you some money.
The above mentioned ad mediums were arranged in order of their
payout rates, that is PPC ads have highest payout while PPM have
the lowest payout. You can signup for such ad programs at
•Google Adsense

ll.jhtml) •Adhearus

(http://www.clicksor.com/PPC_affiliate_program.php)
Please remember that if you join any of these programs out of
moral values don't click on your own adds as this leads to a bad
R.O.I for advertisers and also because the companies are very
strict against fraudulent clicks and may terminate your account
immediately.
•Affiliate/Reseller Programs - These programs need a lot
of time to generate money, you should know how to present them
and also how to target the right niche. I wouldn't recommend
this if you are a beginner to online marketing. But once you
website becomes successful you will eventually discover the
money behind such kind of marketings.
•Newsletter Advertising - I would think about this only if
a site was popular with a minimum of 100 members. This comprises
of periodic updates with useful articles and finally selling
some ad space in the newsletter. Again, this requires a lot of
effort - keeping the newsletter clean, easy to read and
targeting the ads properly will encourage people to view the ad
out of interest.
All these venues point out how important it is to have a website
in order to make money online. Other forms of Advertising like,
link exchanges will open up if you have a good Google PageRank.
You can be paid for putting a Text link on your site and the
rates depend on your PageRank and the person who is interested
in sellling
Starting a website aiming only for monetary benefits would not
be such a nice idea. Do something that you like and enjoy. This
way your dedication towards the site will be genuine and it will
help you in its overall betterment.
