BEST WAYS TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE

Google Adsense

Google's AdSense program offers web site owners, bloggers and others with an online presence effective monetizing opportunities that site visitors find appealing and non-intrusive. These are key features for any site, and most important to me as a family-friendly portal site.

I like Google's program for many reasons, but most importantly because of these 3 key features:

• formats are highly configurable - layouts are easy to modify
• links are relevant to page content, thus adding to what I am able to offer my site visitor in the way of information and products
• minimal site housekeeping keeps information links fresh and interesting even when the page content changes

Within my settings for Google AdSense I can ensure that objectionable ads never appear on my web site - this is very important to a site like Pastiche Family Portal, where I present ONLY family-friendly and child-safe links and content. I can decide whether to offer text, search, image or a combination of content - whatever gets the best response and works for my content pages.

Paypal

If you buy or sell goods or services online, and you want the extra security of a service that protects your credit card or bank account information, then I recommend signing up with PayPal. I use PayPal services to buy and sell online securely, along with thousands of other folks. PayPal is widely accepted and highly reliable; you can use it to pay by check online, and it's now owned by eBay.

Reselling

Unlike affiliate marketing, as a product reseller, you PURCHASE both the product and the right to sell it - and you keep 100% of the sale.

Reselling generally requires more time and resources than affiliate program sales, but the rewards are correspondingly larger.

To save time, some products come with a ready-made website to help you sell.

Because people surf for information, infoproducts and software are among the most popular products sold online, and many ebook authors and software developers sell reprint or resale rights to their products.

Before buying products for resale, check to see how long the product has been on the market. If it's technology-related and more than one or two years old, it's probably seriously out of date.

It's best to promote these products as soon as they are made available to resellers - before there are thousands of other webmasters selling the same item.

M~L~M Business Opportunities

Internet M~L~M programs often provide a ready-made website. All you have to do is market the product.

However, these marketing schemes usually charge an ongoing fee to join and remain a member.

CAUTION: Do your homework! While there are many legitimate opportunities, there are just as many scams.

Offer a Service (Prime-Source)

My friend Robin is a skilled web designer. He has turned his skill into a full-time business which he advertises on his website and offline.

Another friend makes her living designing business cards and other printed materials for businesses. She also sells her
design service online.

Programmers, graphics artists and data entry workers are all selling their services online.

Do you have a service to offer?


Sell Your Own Product (Prime-Source)

The most lucrative way to do business on the Internet is to sell your own product.

It's really simple. You develop a product, and you keep all the income.

Information products are both the best-selling products on
the 'Net and enjoy the best profit margins.

They cost virtually nothing to develop and entail no storage
or shipping costs.

And before you think 'I'm not a writer, so that's not for me', everyone has knowledge that someone else wants and that writing about what you know really isn't all that difficult.

There are SO many ways to earn online.

Choose one or MORE of auction, affiliate, reselling, M~L~M or prime-source selling, but DO choose!

The sooner you start, the sooner you can move on to ANOTHER type of online selling and DIVERSIFY your eBusiness.
