Top Ways to Earn Money Online

FYI, 95% of the people who have started internet businesses fail.  Perhaps it is because of the amount of noise and hype that you find on the internet but most people don’t realize that all of the fancy ideas and techniques you can find won’t work if you don’t understand the business model that you are using to attempt making money on the internet.

There are three business models that are the most popular.  These are:

Affiliate Marketing Programs


Affiliate marketing programs are perhaps the most popular business model on the internet.  It is a good business model for those who are new to internet marketing.  You usually don’t need licensing or special permission to become an affiliate marketer.  In fact, just about anyone can do it.  Most affiliate marketing programs are free to sign up for and you can usually start marketing immediately after signing up.  With affiliate marketing programs you get commissions when someone buys the promoted product.

Being an affiliate marketer is predominately risk free.  This is because the affiliate marketer does not have to worry about the cost of designing the product, handling customer service, bothering with merchant accounts, signing up for an autoresponder, etc.  You may not even need to invest in a website for some affiliate programs.

Some affiliate marketing programs require a little monetary investment but most are free.  Because of the little or no required cost to become an affiliate thousands of people sign up to promote products as an affiliate.  In fact, affiliate marketing programs are one of the main reasons that the internet is inundated with advertisements.

Even though there are millions out there that promote affiliate marketing programs.  Only a small percentage of affiliate marketers make any real money.  To be exact, only 5% make any money and only 1% make the big bucks.  The 1% are referred to as the super affiliates and they have a very different way of marketing affiliate products.  Perhaps this is why they make the big bucks.

Write an Ebook for Profit or Record a CD


This is a great business model to follow because there are literally thousands of possible products that you could create.  There are thousands of niche markets that you can write an ebook for profit about.  You could write a course on how to grow and care for Japanese gardens, how to start a child care service, etc.  There are thousands of topics and more that have not yet been explored by online marketers.  If you don’t think that you are a good writer you can hire a ghost writer.  If you think that you are no good at recording an informational CD you can hire someone to produce the CD.

Unlike affiliate marketing if you want to write an ebook for profit you have to invest a considerable amount of time to get up and running.  You also have to invest some amount of money to get the business up and running.  Settle yourself with the fact that if you want to write an ebook for profit you are going to have to learn a lot more than what is required to be an affiliate.  Even though the investment of time and money is considerably more than if you're going to become an affiliate the payoff that you get when you write an ebook for profit is much more rewarding.

The reason why marketers who write an ebook for profit or record a CD make more money is because they have very low production and maintenance costs.  In fact, it does not cost any money to reproduce thousands of copies once the product is produced.  You can easily recover your startup costs just by selling a few copies of very high-margin ebooks.  Once you have your own product developed you can sign up thousands of affiliates to sell for you.

Earn Money With Adsense


Many people are now starting to earn money with Adsense.  Oodles of people have given testimony that they are making outrageous income from this program.

Adsense by Google is an advertising program that allows webmasters to display ads from Googles extensive list of advertisers.  Member sites display inconspicuous text-based ads.  These text-based ads yield a commission for the webmaster every time someone clicks on the advertiser’s links.

Google has devised a system that will undoubtedly allow you to earn money with Adsense.  The system works very well.  The ads that are delivered to the webmaster’s page are highly relevant to the content of the page.  Google’s technology assures this. 

It is very easy to earn money with Adsense.  You first need to build a website that is full of content that relates to your particular niche.  Afterwards, you would register with Google’s Adsense program.  Upon approval you would be given a code to paste onto your page.  Once you upload the changes to your server the ads will start to appear.

Conclusion


Google has not shared publically how it shares revenue per click with its partners.  However, we do know that the amount earned per click varies with topic and product.  Products that are priced on the low end will net a smaller pay per click than products that are priced on the higher end. 

We have discussed the three most popular online business models.  Any of these models could work for you if you know the basics.  Choose a business model that is most suited to your comfort level and only buy informational products that are relevant to that business model.  Information overload can be a block to you.  Choose a business model and move forward with confidence.  Good luck with your online business.  To your success!
