As we know, make money online is not as easy as we think, we have to start from the foundation such as a blog, thus we can make money from our blogs with several monetization method. There are many resources out there where you can learn how to make money on the internet, but nobody knows which method pays well and which is not.

Despite the economic downturn, people will still be able to make money online and receive attractive online income every month. There are many ways where you can actually make money on the internet, some of them work very well while some of them don’t. I’ve been blogging for more than a year and I’d figured out there were actually many methods which we can make money with. Blog is an awesome tool which we can make use of it and make money online, however we can also make money on the internet without a blog.
How To Make Money On The Internet
Here is a list of 15 monetization methods which you can make money with a blog or without a blog :
1) Advertisement Network
This is one of the most popular way that people use to make money with their blogs. There are many advertisement networks out there, the most popular and well known PPC network will be Google Adsense, other advertisement networks such as Adbrite, Bidvertiser, Nuffnang, etc. Let’s take Google Adsense as a sample, you just have to display the ads on your blog, if there is someone click on the ads, you’ll be getting paid for a rate from range of $0.01 to $5.00 per click, it depends on what keyword you’re optimizing for and how much advertiser pays for it.
2) Selling Text Link
In order to make money online by selling text link, you’re required to have a blog or website. Selling text link is meaning that someone is paying a flat rate for you to place their text link or we call it hyper link on your blog or website. Besides of this, you can also join the companies which act as a broker, they have their marketplaces and they’ll help you to sell the text link on your blog. Of course, they will charge you a fixed percentage as commission. You can join company such as Text Link Ads and TNX.
3) Selling Banner Ads
It’s a simple monetization method that you can actually make a lot of money by selling ad spot on your blog. I was getting paid by BuySellAds months ago and I found it quite interesting. In order to make money online by selling ad spot on your blog, you need to register with the company and they will do the rest for you such as getting advertisers and making payment. As long as your blog has huge traffics and better rank (Alexa, Pagerank, etc), you just need to sit down and wait for the money to float into your paypal account.
4) Private Ad Sales
This is what most of the bloggers will do on their blogs, such as selling banner ads, selling text link, or writing sponsored review. I noticed that not much people is doing well with this monezation method on their blogs, the critical reason is either offering unreasonable prices or lacking of targeted traffics. In order to make money online by doing private ad sales, you have to create a killer “Advertise” page on your blog to let people know that you’re actually selling ad spot on your blog. Before you can do this, you need to increase your blog traffics especially targeted organic traffics. Also, the advertising rate must be reasonable. Otherwise, you’ll not be able to make even a penny. You can either waiting advertiser to approach to you or you go and ask them whether they would like to advertise in your blog.
5) Affiliate Program
Affiliate program is a way where you can make money online by selling others’ products or referring someone to join an affiliate program under your affiliate link. In my opinion and from what I observed, article marketing helps a lot in making money online from affiliate program. Of course, you need to know a little bit of marketing strategies to promote your product as well. You can make money online from these affiliate programs such as ClickBank, Chitika, T3Leads, Logical Media, etc.
