Making Money Online

22 Comments

So as many of you know, there are tons of different ways to earn a living online these days. Here I will share just a few of those methods with you. Everything from PPC (Pay Per Click) Adsense campaigns to Affiliate Marketing Commissions, I will tell you some of the legitimate ways to make some money online!

Google Adsense

When I first started to learn about making websites, and ads on those sites, I found that Google Adsense was a great way to earn some money by placing their ads on my websites! Google bases how much they pay you based on how many clicks you get on those ads! (PPC – Pay Per Click) All you have to do is sign up on their Adsense website, and place their HTML code on your site somewhere.  From there, anytime someone clicks on those ads, you just made some money! Granted, it is not a whole lot of money unless you have a lot of traffic to your site, but it is a good start for those who are new to the game!

The ads they provide automatically sift through which ones coincide with what your site or post is about! So for example, I have a golf website, GolfWithCub.com, and I placed the Google Adsense ads on the side of my homepage. The ads they provided were things like Golf Galaxy, Callaway Golf Pre-Owned, Hole In One Golf, etc. They automatically provide relevant ads to go with what your site is about! It does not get any simpler! You may not make a whole lot of money from them unless you get a lot of people coming to your site! The more people you get, the more clicks you will get, and the more money in your pocket!

Commission Junction

Another great way to make some money online is Affiliate Marketing!  This is not a PPC ad campaign, it is more of a commission based income.  The way it works is you go to their website, CommissionJunction.com, and sign up as an affiliate of the companies on their site. Companies from all over the world go to sites such as this to get their name and products out there.  The reason companies like to do this is the fact that it doesn’t cost them any money, unless someone sells their products! At which point they will pay you a commission on whatever they bought through your link!

For example, if someone comes to your basketball website looking for some new shoes, they see the Commission Junction Link that you provide for a basketball shoe site, they click on the link and buy some shoes! You just made money off that sale! How much you make off that sale depends on how much they spend, and the agreement you have with that company.  Still it does not get much easier than providing a link to the products your site is about, and getting paid! On my golfing website, I like to talk about the products that improve your golf game, as well as providing a link to those products through my Commission Junction link! It is a very simple and easy way to get paid, just by providing a link for people to buy whatever it is your talking about!

These are just a couple of ways you can make legitimate money online. There are many more out there, as well as a bunch of get rich quick schemes, that are not even worth checking out! The only reason I talked about these two methods is because I personally have used both of them, and they work great! A lot of this obviously depends on how much traffic you get to your website or blog, but even those who don’t get a lot of traffic can make some money! I hope you have learned more about Google Adsense and Commission Junction. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to Contact Me Here.

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you here in the future!
