There are four BASIC ways to Make Money Online
Selling Ad Space
Owning websites and placing ads on them. When someone clicks on the ad or performs an action required by the advertiser, YOU GET PAID.
Selling Digital Products and Services
Selling ebooks, programs,software etc, almost all affiliate income, unless you develop your own product, providing leads to advertisers, CPA Marketing….when someone buys YOU GET PAID
Selling Hard Goods and Services
Ebay and dropshipping. When someone buys one of your products YOU GET PAID
Selling Your Time
Filling out forms, taking surveys, writing articles for others, etc. Do it and YOU GET PAID.
Now there are others, but these are the most basic you should start out with.

Basic Tools Needed to Start Making Money Online
1. PayPal Account
If you don’t have a PayPal account its like walking out of the house with an empty wallet. You basically can’t do anything online today unless you are willing to spend at least a little money, and PayPal, for better or worse, is really the only game in town, in terms of paying for the products and services you’ll need, and hopefully, eventually, collecting your money you make online.
2. You NEED at least 1 Domain Name and a Hosting Plan. I use HostGator personally, but there are many that can do the job, WebHostingPad,? BlueHost,? or? iPowerweb,? which also also sells domain names as cheap as Godaddy. The one thing that your host MUST give you, at a minimum, is auto installation of the WordPress Blogging Software. NOTE: I would definately avoid Godaddy for hosting, they don’t even give you a cPanel.
3. An Easy Website Builder Program, “WebSiteWizard” is what I use. Now you can also opt to go with the website building software you web host will provide, they all provide one or more.
WebsiteWizard Free trial available here
4. A Google Adsense Account
If your going to have a website or a blog, which if you want to make money online is a must, you are going to want to use Google Adsense. Google place ads on your website or blog and when some one clicks on one of those ads you make money. There are alternatives to Adsense but you should at least start with them
5. An Ebook Creator, EbookGold is probably the best for the money, unless you want to spend $500+ on Adobe acrobat. Free Trial of EbookGold available here
You can get a cheaper version that does most of what the one above does here
For ebook covers try DynamiteCovers, Free Trial available here
6. An Auto Responder, the most popular are:
GetResponse.com
Aweber.com
1stShoppingCart
7. **Sign up For Affiliate Accounts, ——-THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!**
The most popular and the ones you really NEED, if you want to give yourself a fighting chance are:
CLICKBANK
Amazon
Commission Junction (cj.com)
PayDotCom.com
8. An ad Tracker to maximize your sites ad and CPA campaign revenue Free Trail available here (optional if you are just starting out) Free trail available here
That’s pretty much it. Now if you can’t spend the money to obtain these tools, you might want to consider holding off until you can, because this really is the most basic stuff.
Cheers
PS:? A note on the Free Trials.
Many people think Free Trials are a scam because they usually ask for your credit card number upfront. Free trials are not scams. If you decide you don’t want to use the product and then don’t put the minimal effort in to cancel the Free Trial before it ends, it’s really your fault, not the company’s that is offerring the Free Trial. DON’T BE LAZY, if you want to cancel, just do it!.

Many webmasters use Google Adsense to augment the revenue from their sites, in fact there are many sites that only use Adsense to generate revenue. I have Adsense an almost all my sites, but I am becoming increasingly dissatisfied with it.
In case you’re not aware of how Adsense works, when one of your site visitors clicks on an Adsense ad you get paid. How much you get paid depends on a few different things.
1. KeyWord/Topic of the ad. For example an Adsense ad about “knitting” won’t pay you that much, probably no more than 20 cents. But an ad for ”Debt Consolidation” or “Health Insurance” could pay you as much as $4 or more for one click. It depends on what is “hot” in the keyword market.
2. Your visitor, who clicked on the ad, needs to spend a certain amount of time “viewing” it. I have not seen Google admit this anywhere, and a lot of people don’t know about it, but I have been able to figure it out for myself. Usually the time period is at least 20 seconds. So if they click and take a peek ad the ad, you’ll get paid less than if they actually looked the ad over and clicked on something within the ad.
3. Google Banner ads usually pay more than text link ads no matter the KeyWord, also not well known, but I believe it to be true.
And this is my main problem with Adsense, the secrecy. I mean why can’t we, the Adsense Publisher, know what the split is? Does google take 50% of what the advertiser paid or 80%, Google refuses to say, very annoying and not fair in my opinion.
The alternatives to Adsense are many. There are CPA/CPL banner ads of course, which I also use, in context ads, those double underlined words you see on some sites.
I am begining to use something called “ClickBank Contextual Ads” by CBPro.com. These are basically text ads for various ClickBank Products related to your niche or what your site or blog is about.
What I like about these ads is that when someone buys a product after clicking the ad youget paid a very nice commission, depending on the product you could make any where from $20 to $100. But there is a “catch”. With Adsense, all you need is for someone to click on the ad and you get paid. Of course the downside is they HAVE to buy the product, while with Adsense all thy HAVE to do is click on the ad.
But the difference in potential income is huge, from pennies to over $100. CBProADs also offer ClickBank Stores. These aren’t like the regular “ClickBank Malls” you see offered, where all they do is connect you to ClickBank’s RSS Feed. These are a bit more sophisticated, with real reviews of every product and they are customizable. Here is my store.
I haven’t had time to customize yet but I will get around to it this week probably, URLinkd.com has been taking up alot of my time this past week.
You can find out more about CBProAds here, its free to join, although I did upgrade, its really cheap, $39 bucks if I remember correctly to upgrade.
Anyway, check them out……..
Peace

Hi,
I’ve been thinking about a product I’d like to launch within a couple of weeks, but I’d like some feedback on it from my readers.
Here is basically what it would be:
50 PreBuilt Websites on high paying Keyword topics like “Insurance”, “Debt Consolidation”, “Debt Relief”, “Loans”, “Making Money Online” plus many more topics.
Each Site is Adsense Optimized with three Adsense Blocks on each Page
Each Site has a minimum of 50 pages but most have over 200 with a few approaching 1000
Each Site is laid out with multiple index pages that have links to literally hundreds of articles about the topic.
An Ebook explaining how to set up the sites, setting up CPA accounts , pasting banners and text links for those cpa campaigns, a list of cpa networks, how to drive free traffic to your sites, instruction on Adsense Arbitrage, free keyword tools, and lots more.
An Article Spinner, to create unique content from the existing content
Plus the package would also come with dozens WordPress Templates, Ebooks with Resell Rights, PLR Content, Videos and Audio files with resell rights.
There would be two price options.
#1 Free If you sign up for a hosting account, through my link, to host your sites.(This would require verification)
or
#2 $49 If you keep your own hosting.
Please leave comments on this post as I will decide whether to release the product based, in part, on reader interest.
Thanks,
Frank
