When you think of ways to make money on the internat, a few things likely come to mind. Webmaster and web style jobs are probably number one but require special skills that most of us don't have. Another common way to make money on the web is by setting up a store. This requires that you have a product to sell and a source where you can buy that product at a price cheap enough to be able to resell it. Let's get off the beaten path and explore 2 methods you may not have heard of that people are using to make money online:
1. Affiliate Advertising - Affiliate advertisers sell other people's products. A common way to do this is to build a web page and then use the page to advertise a product. Each time someone buys the items using the on your site, you make a percentage of the sale. ClickBank is a popular site that houses a mind-boggling number of affiliate products you can choose from. Amazon.com and Ebay.com also offer affiliate programs. If none of these sites excites you, look into an affiliate marketplace like CommissionJunction (CJ.com). CJ works with a wide variety of vendors and offers a central site where you can connect with them.
2. Pay per click or pay per action advertising - This is similar to affiliate advertising in that you are using your website to help sell stuff for others. With pay per click, you host advertisements on your site and get paid every time someone clicks on one of the ads. The most popular pay per click advertiser is Google AdSense. You sign up and choose the format you want the ads in on your site. You place the script where you want it and Google picks which ads are displayed.
Pay per action advertising means you get paid every time someone clicks on an ad and performs a certain action. A common form of PPA advertising is getting paid a small amount, usually around a dollar or two, every time someone clicks on an ad and signs up for a trial membership.
