Google Adsense

This is a good way to make money from visitors to your site.

Google Adsense pay you for each person that clicks on an advert
placed on your site - from as little as 2cents a click to $25 per click.
It's worth doing the research on how much people are paying for
particular keywords so that you choose a profitable site.

That being said, my best site attracts literally thousands of clicks per
day that are only worth a few cents - so just make sure that people
are prepared to pay something for the subject you are so keen
about. Visit Keyword Explosion to get a free list of high paying
keywords.

are getting traffic to your site, but not making any money. I consider
Jonathan's book on improving your Adsense CTR (click through
rate) to be one of the best investments I ever made!

Affiliate Programs - what you should know

Affiliate programs - secrets & tips

Clickbank

With Clickbank affiliate site, you can find out which are likely to be
most profitable for you. Some of the higher paying products will
make you over $50 per sale. I make a nice income from some $7
sales in a niche market.

Again, go for what interests you and is related to your site.

Commission Junction

CJ manage the affiliate program for many of the big company
names like Yahoo. You can sign up to Commission Junction
quickly and then apply to individual programs.

You can search their programs by advertiser name or products.

Hence, in the example of “vegetarian dog food”, you could search
on the “products” box for this and find merchants who are selling
this.

They also have a very useful tool called the EPC, which reflects how
much has been earned for every 100 clicks. For example, if the
EPC is $5, this would mean that for every 100 clicks, Commission
Junction has paid out $5.

Now it becomes a simple maths game, if you refer 100 customers
to this program each day, you can expect to earn $5, 200
customers earns $10 and so on.

This is just a rough estimate of traffic, but it certainly helps in
choosing one merchant over another, when they’re selling the
same product.

Also, it will depend on how relevant the advert is to your site. In our
example, a “vegetarian dog food” advert placed on a site about
dogs is likely to be more successful than one placed on a site
about home cooking!

Ebay

You can join Ebay and share in a percentage of the commissions
on all items sold. Type "Ebay Editor User Kit" in to any search
engine to get the correct EBay link. Then download the EBay Editor
User kit manual - which gives step by step instructions as to how to
create live EBay pages on your site.
