Web Reviewer There are several great ways to make money online. This growing trend is feasible because of the convenience, the accessibility and the great potential that it has to make you truly wealthy if you do the right things and just don’t give up. We are not claiming a get rich scheme is the way to go or even possible but there is money to be made and a lot of it if you know what to do. Here we will discuss a few different ideas on how to make money online. Hopefully you will find this helpful if you are trying to decide on a method to make money.
Affiliate Programs – These programs are tried and true. What you do is you find a product or product line (or company) that you can get behind and be passionate about. You need to make sure that you really believe in the product or it’s going to be hard to convince others that you have a good product or company referral. You want to build a great site that will rank high in the search engines (so get great content and other sites to link back to you) and you want to talk your product up and get people to click through. With a lot of hard work and persistence these programs can be very lucrative. Our one warning to you is to not try to be too diversified. Pick something and really focus on your niche.
Advertising Link Programs – Link programs are what Google AdSense and other companies offer. You build a great content oriented site on anything you are interested in. You then place ad units from the marketing company on your site. With Google you can customize these ads and you can also change which types of ads are shown on your site so that they relate to your topics. As far as customization goes you can change the colors and a few other little things to help the units fit into your site seamlessly. Google pays monthly on these ads but different companies may have their own policies. While you may not get you a lot of money overnight it can build up to a nice income, especially since you didn’t have to go out and sell advertising or products.
Domain Parking – A very passive way to make money is to register a domain or several domains and then have the page parked with a web hosting company. Some companies don’t even charge for this. Especially if you run ads through them. Then they make money and you make money. This is great if you have a domain that people will commonly misspell so that you benefit from the traffic. Or if a popular domain has expired and you snatch it up then you will most likely get plenty of visitors.
Sell Products – If you have a storefront that you sell merchandise from then you can definitely benefit from ecommerce web hosting. Imagine your storefront being open 24/7 and being in every corner of the world. And then imagine that shoppers can buy what they want from you at all times! This is the beauty of ecommerce! It never stops. Be sure to get an ecommerce web host that offers superb uptime so you don’t have your shop closed. You also want features such as high security, payment gateway, shopping cart, and a merchant account.
Donations! – If you are timid about accepting money but want some like the rest of us you may just want to place a donation link on your site. If you offer information that is valuable (even your own experiences) it doesn’t hurt to place a donation button on your site. PayPal has a great one that the donations go straight into your PayPal account and when your visitors see the PayPal logo they will know that they can trust it and they know that it will be easy for them to give you whatever money they would like to donate. This can be a lot of fun, just be aware that you can’t really count on this money, it will always vary!
