When you think about money making websites you have to consider affiliate marketing. When you join a program as an affiliate marketer you are given a website to promote and Make Money with.

However if it was really that easy more people would succeed with affiliate marketing. In this article we want to give you an example of how you can turn a money making website into a cash machine and actually succeed as an affiliate marketer.

The real key to succeeding with affiliate marketing comes down to two things.

1. Get alot of traffic and play the numbers game. This is how most affiliates try to do it.

They use the website that comes with the affiliate program and try to promote it directly online. The primary problem with this strategy is most affiliate marketers do not get enough traffic to generate a sale.

You need to think in terms of big numbers when you are relying strictly on traffic online. You also need to know how many visitors it takes before one will convert into a purchasing customer.

The only way your affiliate website becomes a money making site in this example is if you get a lot of traffic. Most affiliate marketers think too small and never drive enough meaningful traffic to generate any sales.

2. Pre-sell your customers before passing them through to the affiliate website. All you have to do is look at the top affiliate producers in any program to see this is the best strategy.

There are a number of ways you go about pre-selling your customers. For example you can write review articles and post them on your blog where readers can view the article before going to the sales page.

You can also promote landing pages and build an email marketing list. Use your email messages to presell your potential customers before sending them through to your affiliate website.

Both email marketing and review pages are great ways to warm your customer up before passing them through to your affiliate sales page. When you do this you can get by on less traffic and your conversion rates will be higher because your visitor has been pre-sold by you.

Once you get your own system in place you can make as much money as you want. It still comes down to getting visitors to a certain extent, but you can go into more niches and create even more money making websites.

Do you know what get paid to programs are? Every day thousands of people Make Money on the net using programs like these.

In this article we will briefly discuss how you can use get paid to programs on the Internet to make extra money for yourself.

Get paid to programs are ones that reward you for completing a specific action. Examples of these would be getting paid to….

1. Take surveys
2. Type at home
3. Do data entry
4. Read email

And so on!

Some programs you can join will combine two of these into one program.

For example InBoxDollars offers a program where you can get paid to read emails. You can also Make Money taking paid surveys in your membership area.

After you’re approved to join their free program you will begin to receive emails to read in your email inbox. After you complete an email you will be informed of surveys you can take in your members area.

They have a very easy to navigate members area where you can view how much money you have actually earned, find surveys to take, update your profile, and more.

You are not going to make a lot of money reading emails. Most programs will pay you .01 to.02 cents to read an email. This is not much; however over a period of time you can begin to accumulate some nice cash.

The way to Make Money with the get paid to read email programs is to join several at a time and spend a few minutes reading emails from each one on a daily basis. This works well for people who are trying to Make Money on the net and do not want to take on the responsibility of building a website or maintaining a blog.

Global Data Entry is a program that teaches you how to do data entry and get paid for it. This is one of the most comprehensive data entry training programs on the Internet today.

What is interesting is how you are given companies you can apply to just like you were taking a job interview. Plus they also teach you how to type in classified advertising and Make Money selling affiliate products or services of your own.
They even go so far as to teach you how to type at home as a blog writer and make part time money or even create a full time income.

You will not get rich would get paid to programs but you will earn extra money on the net. They do not require any specific training and anybody can Make Money if they try hard.

I see this a lot online. I even use this phrase myself. So what does it really mean to help average people Make Money on the Internet?

When I see the phrase average people I try to think about those that are above average and those who are below average. People who are above average would be the exceptional guru that can earn $1 million a year online and build a mailing list of 100,000 people.

That does not describe very many people when it comes to making money on the Internet. However the opportunity to become one of those people is the same for everybody.

A below average person is somebody who stands a very poor chance of succeeding because they have not succeeded in anything in their life. Sometimes this is through no fault of their own, but everyone is given the same opportunity.

An average person is somebody who has average intelligence. Making money on the Internet does not take being a genius.

However you must be able to learn and then put into place what you learn. This describes the majority of the people in the world.

So when someone says they’re going to help average people Make Money on the Internet what they are really doing is targeting the masses. If you are average they are willing to show you what it takes to be successful and Make Money.

I see this as a good thing. It is true that there are thousands and perhaps millions of average people making money all over the world.

They are smart enough to figure out a way to use the Internet to help them make extra money. They are intelligent enough to figure out one legitimate way to Make Money and then do that over and over until they are making a lot of money.

When you land on a website willing to help you do this what you’re going to find is training, products, and programs that you are smart enough to take and turn into your own Internet income.

The unknown factor is the work ethic of each individual person. If average intelligence is basically the same for the majority of people who want to succeed then the ones that do are the people who implement what they learn.

They are willing to work harder to earn that extra money. If you are not making money right now, and possess average intelligence, you probably have no one to blame but yourselves.

This is what separates the women from the girls and the men from the boys. It comes down to effort and using the intelligence you have been blessed with to Make Money online.

It is very common in the new year for people to start something new and of course that includes finding ways to Make Money on the Internet! January is one of the busiest and most popular months for starting a website business.

If you are thinking of starting a new business, be sure to do some research first and make sure that you set a budget that you can afford and have goals for your new business.

Like all businesses, an Internet business takes some time and effort before it starts to Make Money. You want to have realistic expectations of building an income gradually over many months, not days and weeks. You want to be consistent and spend time on your business on a regular basis. There is a lot to learn so remember that it is normal to feel slightly overwhelmed. Take your time and pace yourself, and remember that the only way you can truly fail is if you quit.

Since there is so much information on how to Make Money on the Internet, many people get stuck for a business idea. For this reason I am going to reveal my TOP EARNERS of 2009! Below I have listed 3 business ideas that have made a lot of people the most money in 2009.

TOP 3 Earners of 2009:

1) Affiliate Products – In 2009 I made the first of my income from affiliate marketing. Affiliate products are free to promote and often pay 50% commission or higher per sale. You can join Clickbank for free and start promoting products right away. If you want to earn big money from affiliate programs you must have your own website. Choose products that you trust and have preferably used yourself. For maximum income find products that pay a recurring commission (e.g. membership sites, hosting) and/or pay a high commission (e.g. 50%). If you are not sure where to start why not pick a ready made Clickbank website or sign up for a $1 10 day trial with the Affiliate Power Group and let them help you build a site.

Cost – The cost of running a website is around $10 a year for the domain name and around $10 per month for hosting (I highly recommend Hostgator, not only for the cost but also because of the ease and help in setting up a website) + some initial investment for setting up your site if you don’t want to do it yourself.

2) Multi Level Marketing – MLM came a close second in 2009. A lot of people are put off by MLM’s because they immediately think “pyramid”. But MLM just means that you are paid on multiple levels. This means that you earn a percentage of your commissions from other peoples’ efforts rather than just your own. As long as you sign up for a company who is reputable and has a solid product you don’t have anything to worry about. My #1 MLM opportunity is My World Plus. As a member you will receive an excellent discount card + the opportunity to promote a product that pays very generous commissions and converts like nothing I have seen before.

Cost – This depends on which program you join. My World Plus is $20 per month, but it is free to take a tour. My other recommendations are Empowerism, SFI and GDI.

3) Create Your Own Products – selling your own information products can be a huge money maker. For me this took a backseat in 2009 as I was focusing on MWP. However, if you have a strong interest or a skill in a certain area you may want to consider creating your own information product. It is not as hard as it sounds and you can easily outsource some of the work that you don’t want to do yourself (e.g. graphics, sales copy, or even writing). I created my first information product (an Essential Oils EBook) with the help of Open Office and the Affiliate Power Group mentors. Once you create your product you can list it on Clickbank to have others help you sell it.

Cost – You have your website costs of $10 for a domain name and around $10 a month for hosting plus the costs of developing the product and your website which can vary depending on how much you do yourself.

I hope this gives you a few ideas to start making money from the Internet in 2010.
