How to Make Money on the Web

We live during a unique time of unprecedented opportunity. Anyone with half a brain, some know-how, and a strong work ethic can make money on the web. How much money you make is only limited by how much time you spend on your website idea and your ability to make your website standout from the millions of other websites already out there. Not an easy task but doable.

People often ask me how they can make money on the web. Well, as you probably suspect, there is no quick answer, heck a lot of bad and good books have been written on the topic. Since I can’t give a quick answer, over the next few months, I’ll write several posts illustrating ways people can and do make money on the Internet.

There are four basic ways people make money on the web:

1.) Sales Websites: Selling a product or service to your visitors.

2.) Affiliate Websites: Selling products or services for another website for a commission on sales generated.

3.) Advertising: Building enough traffic to your website in a specific niche and sell ads to other websites who want to reach your visitors.

4.) Combination: Some combination of two, or all three of the methods above.

In my posts on this topic, I’ll point you to important websites, web tools, and tricks of the trade that you need to know about to get you on your way.

Whether you want to make some extra mad money or make a living, the opportunity is there if you have the motivation to do what it takes to succeed.

For now, lesson #1: Start reading and participating in the Webmasterworld forum for one or two hours per day. If you do this, you’ll not only start learning how the web really works, you’ll have access to thousands of successful webmasters who are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Stay tuned for my weekly posts on this topic.
