Let's Get Started With A Few Ways to Earn Money on the Internet: Advertising Networks and Affiliate Programs

Here are a few ways to make money. I try out all the affiliate programs I list here on this website and only include the ones that do relatively well. When time proves them duds, I remove them from this blog. Right now I am making the best money from Google Adsense, Chitika, and Sponsored Tweets, and Adland. (Also see my post The Top Paying Advertising Networks.)

We will soon expand on these offerings and provide commentary, ratings, and advice.

  • SocialSpark features sponsored links containing the NoFollow attribute so that bloggers do not lose search engine rankings. SocialSpark connects bloggers with advertisers, who pay for legitimate reviews. Meanwhile, due to the fact that the sponsored links are NoFollow, your blog does not lose page rank!

  • For the best of the easy-to-join Pay Per Impression (CPM) networks, join Adfly -- click here. With the right kind of traffic to your site, you can earn over $4.00 CPM (that is, over $4.00 for 1000 impressions). Click Here.

  • Minimalls have taken the net by storm and are particularly suitable for niche blogs. Also, you can bring in 10% referral commissions. We have received many payments from this service.

  • Adbrite used to pay well, and from what I read some publishers are making over $30 per day. I also see that if you have a lot of Canadian and U.S. traffic, you will have the best shot of making good money. Some advertisers are paying $1.00 per click for U.S. traffic and $40 CPM. Adbrite has text, banner, inline, and full page ads. UPDATE: see Adbrite Partners with Advertising Networks, Adding Volume and Earnings

  • Sell Custom Business Cards: make cash you can use to buy your own custom designed promotional products, such as custom car magnets, fridge magnets, and post cards when you refer new customers (also see Marketing Your Website on the Street)




  • In the preceding portion of this page, we have listed a few select affiliate/referral programs and networks, and we will discuss additional opportunities as we find and investigate them. You can always look for opportunities in our Directory and Classifieds, too. Still, you may be interested in acquiring earnings and/or employment from sources other than affiliate programs. Maybe you want to telecommute. So go ahead, search for a job.
