Many people have decided to get into online businesses and online marketing either to make extra money in addition to their day job or to eventually quit their day job and make internet business their only source of income. Why would someone want to do this?  Because there are huge benefits to online marketing!

First, the internet is a huge place and the number of people accessing the internet is beyond anything you can imagine.  You have an unlimited source of consumers to sell your online products to.  The bigger your market, the bigger your profits will be.

Second, it is much cheaper to set up an online business as opposed to setting up an actual business establishment with a real physical address.  As long as you have a spare corner in your home, a computer, an internet connection and the drive to succeed, you can be in business in no time flat.

Third, you don’t actually have to have your own products to open your business.  There is a tremendous amount of money to be made online just by selling other people’s products. This is referred to as affiliate marketing and it is a great way to make extra money.

Affiliate marketing by definition is a relationship between an online merchant and the people that sell is products.  The affiliate is typically paid a preset commission for selling the product.  The amount or percentage paid is determined by the merchant and the terms are listed on each product that is available to the affiliate.  You, the affiliate can then scan through all of the available products in a particular niche and pick the one with the best terms and get set up.

There are a lot of merchant sites available on the internet.  One of the most popular sites is Click Bank. It is free to join but you do pay a small fee every time you sell an item.  You can track your sales through their system and they pay you directly.  There are a number of merchants and you need to do your homework to find the one that is best for you. 

It is also possible to become an affiliate for the “gurus” on the internet.  Many of them offer FREE websites and affiliate links to promote their products.  These products are some of the hottest on the market and you can make a great deal of money from them.  You can go online and do keyword searches for things like “money making systems” and “money making internet business”, etc. and find any number of free affiliate websites.

Before you pick a product, you need to review all of the products that are available in a particular niche.  Many times there are dozens and dozens to choose from and you need to try and pick the best one.  Look at what the merchant is offering in the way of marketing products.  Many of the merchants have a sales page, sales letters, banners, emails, etc.  The better the quality of the marketing material, the better your conversion rate will be. Once you make a choice, all you have to do is sign up on the site, get your affiliate link and start selling the product.

With so many options available, there are unlimited money making ideas online.  Money making internet businesses are a dime a dozen.  All you have to do is find one, start promoting the product and you can make money.  The amount of money you can earn will depend on the types of products you choose and how effectively you market them.  While this article is not called “easy money making ideas”, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to do this.  You will still have to work at promoting your products or you won’t make any money.  But anyone can get an online business up and running pretty quickly.

There are a ton of free websites out there that you can grab and promote but it can be overwhelming to find them.  Here is one example of a merchant offering a free website to sell their product.  Visit my blog and click on the link to get your FREE website, your own affiliate link and start making money fast.  It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.

I write a variety of articles on a wide variety of topics. I have found that everyone wants to make money online. But setting up websites can be a hassle. Finding ways to get free money making websites is one of the newest trends to hit the internet. You can make money online with these websites and they are a great way to get your feet wet in this industry.

People like to buy, but no one wants to be sold anything. It’s a control issue. People want to feel that the final decision was made by them. That they CHOSE to buy from you. That they were not SOLD anything.

Most people are independent thinkers and hate the thought that they may be manipulated or pressured into any decision. They want the satisfaction of knowing that they made up their own mind based on information that was presented to them or from research that they conducted.

Your prospect or visitor has to perceive you to be a helping hand who will assist them in getting what they want or need. It’s this perception that the prospect has of you that will determine how they interact with you.

You must do everything you can to appear to be helping and not selling. Top Online Marketers are masters of this art of perception. They are teachers who demonstrate how their products or services work to to satisfy the buyers needs. This is how and why they make sales, or rather, why the prospects buy. You must develop this skill too.

If the buyer looks on you as a teacher, you will be perceived as an advisor and as someone to consult with on the merits of the product or service. However, tread well here. If the buyer ever feels that you are trying to sell, then they will withdraw and resist your efforts from then on.

Here are two ways to implement this immediately in your business:

1. Don’t view a visitor, prospect or lead as ‘cash in the bank’. See each one as a person with a problem seeking a solution. Do you have the product that can solve the problem? Can you offer the resolution to their uncertainty? If you can, teach them how to escape their predicament. Guide and advice them to the benefits and value of the solution that you are proposing. Help,don’t sell.

2. Now that you’re an advisor, a teacher, treat your sales presentation as a ‘lesson’. Look at the prospect as a willing learner and together explore the problem before you offer the solution. If you’re sincere with this approach your prospect will perceive you as helping to solve his situation and become a buyer. Help, don’t sell.

Zig Ziglar said it best: ‘You can have anything you want in life if you just help enough other people get what they want.’

Makes sense to me!

The money making tips are by no means in chronological order but are in a sparse format just like my brain so sorry for not categorizing this content but its not too bad for 100% free information. Disclaimer: Free information, no promises of increase of income by reading this info What you do with this information is your decision and even though i want everyone who read this to make massive money i cant guarantee any result of income.

1. Write an info product for a well established niche, this is one of the easiest ways that i use to constantly make money online :) . If your info product has anything new or innovative then it should sell well. However, just don’t write the ebook! Build a business. Gather visitors emails that comes to your site and offer them complimentary products through affiliate programs. Go ahead and offer upsells, and backends, and memberships for recurring income. If your just offering an ebook your leaving potential of thousands and thousands of dollars right on the dinner table, don’t think of it as YES! I made a sale, think of it as a real business and increasing the amount of profits you make per sale.

2. Start your own online country, thats right. What i mean by this is basically your own unique online community that is catered towards a group of people that allows them to share content and information with each other. Look at myspace, facebook, and youtube. Million and Billion dollar ideas in just a couple of years.

3. Build your virtual real estate. I’m not too much of a adsense site type of guy, im into building businesses instead, i prefer making social networking sites that will gather people’s attention… and a good way to go about this is make it FREE, thats the magic word. Once you get people to register to your site you can then allow them to share it with their friends which will help make your site grow bigger. If your website is getting traffic then you can monetize off this with adsense or by selling advertising which can be a killer money maker by you literally doing nothing.

4. Help a friend get a job. Its funny while your out to start working for yourself, you are out to know help connect people you know with better jobs. Many people are looking for jobs, just take for instance craigslist one of the most populated websites in the world has a large section for connecting employers and job seekers. Also, monster.com is also a huge network for connecting employers with job seekers as well. If you can help connect someone then the rewards could be huge, as big as in the 1000 range, not really no chicken change. Some services that you can look into is https://www.h3.com/welcome.html and http://www.jobthread.com/

5. Advertise and sell other people’s products from your website which is known as affiliate marketing which is such a hot field because people are looking for ways to make money online without having their own product, and this is one that you can accomplish this. Some affiliate networks to check are commission junction, amazon, and linkshare. The popular one for selling digital product is clickbank.

6. Sell yourself :) . Now, don’t get it the wrong way. There are some sites online known as freelance services in which web masters or companies will pay you money if you do certain tasks for them. If you can build websites, program, or do any other technical skills then join these sites.

7. Write. This is something that anyone can do and there are no technical skills required except being able to use the computer and research. Look for writing jobs on freelance services. It will help to have a portfolio of some of your writings in order to help increase your chances of getting chosen.

8. Do you take pictures? You can sell licenses to web masters or individuals to use the photos that you take and you can usually charge a good amount for these as well.

9. Assist businesses. Yes, businesses and web masters always need help and you can help them with everyday tasks by becoming their virtual assistant.

10. Know something about a subject and love to talk? Well, you will love blogging. Blog about the topic and write in a manner that attracts people. You can monetize your site with adsense, sell affiliate programs, sell advertising, you name it. http://www.blogger.com is a free blogging software.

11. Don’t know a thing? No worries you are not alone, but that shouldn’t stop you from blogging as it doesn’t stop others, you can still make money just by blogging on topics that are interesting. You can blog about your everyday tasks, blog about your plans to lose weight, or blog about your plans to make money. Some marketers have started money making challenges such as the 30K challenge, or Willie Crawford’s 1 million in 90 days challenge. These type of challenges can gather huge interests in people.

12. Fill a need. I own and frequent many forums and i have come to a conclusion that people love to complain. Thats great! Whatever they are complaining about provide them a solution, this equals more money in your wallet.

13. Make money by managing domain names. For example, domain name services like sedo and afternic gets paid just for regulating domain names. This can be nice steady income for having no products to sell yourself, or by not even selling other people’s products… but just by being the middleman.

14. Buy and resell domain names for quick cash. I once purchased a domain name at the right time and then flipped it for $200. Domain name flipping takes some time to master like any other skill though.

15. Purchase a domain name, build up the pr (pagerank), gain backlinks, and then sell the domain name. If you can get a pr6 domain name then you should be able to sell this for a hundred or two on ebay.

16. If you can find a domain name that is keyword rich and is getting steady traffic then purchase it and park it and watch the money come in overtime.

17. Build a house and flip it. By this i mean purchase a domain name and build a website for it and then try and sell it for profit. A popular site to sell websites is sitepoint:http://www.sitepoint.com/

18. Get paid to post in forums. I would only recommend this if youre looking for quick side cash because this is by no means a way to make a killing online. Some web masters will pay individuals to make posts at forums. Sometimes, an individual has a new forum up and running and want to get it active so they will pay individuals to post there under multiple usernames. Or, web masters could pay individuals to post on forums so that they can get more traffic to their website through signatures. Or, a webmaster could be the owner of a forum and pay forum users for each post they make in order to help them stay, and in order to help build up traffic to the forum as well.

19. Go ahead and try to start your own article directory, but you better do something to make it unique and beneficial to the article submitter. Whats going to make an individual submit to your article directory as opposed to ones that they are accustom to submitting to and plus get results with. The good news is most of the other article directories are doing pretty much the same exact thing that everyone else is doing, you just have to be that much different and find your unique positioning.

20. Learn the ins and outs about a large network and teach people how to use it effectively, become an expert in that field. For example, look at ebay. Even though it may be simple to use to the average Internet browser, there are still tons of people offline that has no idea about the ins or outs about it. This can be an easy way to make some extra money. Some offline services charge people a whopping sum of money just to sell their products for them on ebay, so that is something for you to think about.

21. Think of a crazy innovative idea thats newsworthy. Ever heard of the milliondollarhomepage, http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com selling worthless links? Well, it got in the news and people swarmed to the site, proof that its not incredibly hard to make big money online.

22. Moderate forums, some forums get crazy traffic and some of them also get crazy amounts of spam that needs to be moderated…badly.

23. Make funny videos and then register for an account here http://www.thevideosense.com/ and post them.

24. If you are technical then offer support for software programs especially wordpress. People are always having issues with this software and there is money to be made by installing and customizing wordpress blogs.

25. If you like surfing the Internet then AGLOCO is a program that pays you for your browsing information (at the stake of your privacy though). You will need to download their tool bar into your desktop.

26. Sell tools and useful items to myspace users like templates, layouts, and backgrounds. Too many marketers try to spam this service which is against their tos, so just build real friends and sell them cheap items that they can use on myspace, easy money! Make money on myspace by selling users things that they can use while they are on myspace.

27. Write a newsletter and im talking about a real one. A list of subscribers is an incredible asset for your business because you can keep selling to those people over and over again but at least give some good content instead of only emailing when you have something to promote. You can promote your products as long as affiliates once you build trust with your subscribers.

28. Build your own forum. There are plenty of free scripts out there that will aid you in the process such as phpbb: http://www.phpbb.com/downloads/ or simplemachines: http://www.simplemachines.org/download/. This is an incredible way to monetize on giving something away for free. When people register they will enter their email and this is an unorthodox way to build a list. Not only that but you can build multiple streams of income by selling advertising as well as monetizing the forum with adsense. Heck, you can even offer products as discounts to forum members, sell your own products, offer co-registration, the options are limitless.

29. Learn seo (search engine optimization), it can be very profitable for you in the long run. Web masters tend to be too busy and that is one reason why many do not get where they want, they cant manage their time too well. So, you can offer to get web masters links to their sites by writing and submitting articles to directories and even optimizing their pages for them.

30. Start selling on ebay, ebay is a goldmine. See what is currently selling hot here http://pulse.ebay.com/ and see if you can find any whole sellers with these items an affordable rate. Make sure that youre dealing with a reputable seller because there are many scams in this industry so beware.

31. Create an award website. Awards have been tested to increase the credibility of a website (which equals more money) so make a website with a fancy logo and offer it to web masters that meet your award’s standards.

32. Make money online by researching and finding statistics, facts, or quotes for individuals that needs them.

33. Write articles. Some networks will give you money for how many view certain articles that you write get. Here is one such network:http://www.associatedcontent.com/.

34. Learn the ins and outs of myspace, a lot of web masters are looking for people to do marketing for them on myspace and if you know about this network then you can make some money by offering your expertise.

35. Make money by referring individuals to paypal and ebay. Yes, these both have affiliate programs (doesn’t pay much) but this could be an easy way to make money if you know people that are looking for ways to make money online.

36. Try using Co registration to generate some money online. What this means is that a company or service will pay you money when you can generate a lead for them. For example, you place a text banner on your site and once the individual clicks they will usually be sent to a form in which they can enter their personal information, and once they have done that you get paid for it. Its obvious that to get people to enter their personal information online you must have an incentive offer or copy, because people are fearful of spam (i am too). However, this shouldn’t discourage you because this is very possible though. Some companies are so good at this that they get people to enter their credit card information in the forms so thats something to boost your confidence.

37. Are you skilled at photoshop? I see a lot of talented individuals on online forums that be photo shopping images like crazy. You can seriously turn this skill into a business by start offering photo shopping services to web masters or individuals that are looking for such work.

38. If you can photoshop then try selling your images on ebay because you never know, some people could very well purchase it. You never know if your images will become the next Internet phenomenon.

39. Are you knowledgeable in anything? Come on, i know you are smart in something everybody is good at least one thing… even me :) . Well, what you could do is offer a inexpensive tutorial that teaches an individual how to learn the particular subject in an easy to follow manner.

40. Can you do screen printing for t shirts? Well, you are most likely an alternative to an online service http://www.cafepress.com. You can upload images of t shirts or what type of works you do at photo sharing services such as http://www.flickr.com.

41. Are you good at audio? You can get paid money to turn written text into audio or to turn audio into text (transcription).

42. Can you speak more then one language? Some companies or web masters may want text translated into more then one language.

43. Like software and scripts? Can you install these things? Webmasters who are not as technical may need your help, look around on freelance services to see who you can cater to.

44. This is to those who are always anxious to get money fast online. This is about the quickest way that i know to make money online. First, you join affiliate programs, and second you send traffic to your affiliate link through Google adwords. However, this takes some prior experience to master, such as being able to pick the appropriate keywords.

45. Can you code software? If so then you should code a software that will fix a much needed problem, there are many software coders selling their inventions online for good money.

46. Offer online tutoring. There are always people looking to learn something new and the Internet makes it not only easier for you to do so but also effective. Never before have there been such an easier way to communicate with individuals live from all the way across the globe. By having your own website on your own server, you will help make yourself stand out from the majority of your competition.

47. Like sports? Make a sports site of some sort and monetize it with one of the methods that i mentioned earlier. Golf is a very expensive sport which makes this a good niche to tap into.

48. Start a website that relies 100% on backends. This is an easy way to make money and to also get individuals to sign up to your website. Just look at ebay, and paypal. Both websites are FREE to join and sign up but there are many hidden fees. It costs every time you receive money through paypal, and it costs every time you sell something on ebay, it relies 100% on backend sells a nice and effective business structure.

49. Try network marketing. One of the fastest ways that an individual can grow their business is by leveraging the resources of others and a lot of beginning online business owners are always looking for other web masters to partner with. If you can help broker or bring webmasters together, then this may be a profitable business for you in the end. You could charge money for each connection that is made.

50. Online dating is a popular niche and there are many affiliate programs that pay you for each lead that you give them which can be some easy money if you know a lot of people. Or, if you have a unique idea you can go about forming your own dating site.

51. Form a network that will connect people. Whether its to connect old high school friends, old college friends, long lost friends, singles looking for dates, or people looking to share anything. These types of sites usually do very well and usually grow fast because of the built in viral mechanisms in them. Just look at youtube, worth over 1 billion dollars and is no more then two years old. It makes it easy for people to share things with their friends… the powerful aspect of viral marketing.

Conclusion
In conclusion of this article 51 surefire ways to make money online, i wanted to show people who are new to internet marketing or who are interested in making money online that there are ways (and lots of them) to make money online.

The options are limitless so you just need to find out what you think will be the most suitable way for you because everyone has different interests A couple of suggestions, i would recommend concentrating on a couple of these ways to make money… there are but so many hours in a day and the more rabbits you try to chase the less you may actually catch. Also, some tips that i mentioned are for building up short term money, short term money is like quick cash.

You need it to get money so that you can reinvest in your business, but its nothing to build an online business on. So, what i recommend is try experimenting with some of these techniques and once you start making small money thats GOLD! You already done the first step you just need to keep testing and tweaking your experiments until you can maximize the most profit out of it and always go with building businesses as opposed to keep getting quick money… a business is much more profitable and reliable. Take care and hope you enjoyed.
