To try to help you achieve in making money online i am going to tell you abit about the different types of advertising.
There are many different ways that companies use to advertise their products. Most are very effective. But the how,when, and where for you to use them on your website and/or blog can be a challenge.
One of the most effective way for companies to advertise is using PPC (short for pay per click). PPC is a google AdWords add, the way it works is that the advertiser only pays when someone clicks on their add. The difference between AdWords and AdSense is, AdWords is for the seller, and AdSense are the little adds that people like you and i place on our websites/bloggs.
Now when you place AdSense on your blog and someone clicks on the add, the advertiser pays google AdWords a pre-determined amount of money, and Google Adsense in turn pays you a predetermined amount of money for having the add placed on your web page or blog. In essence it is a win-win situation for both the advertiser and for you, as the advertiser gets their product advertised, and you make money for having their add displayed on your site.
Another very effective way of advertising is called DIRECT ADVERTISING. This is where a business or company comes to you directly and asks you to place their ad on your website. This can be a very profitable type of opportunity as you get the privilege of negotiating the price of placing the add. You get to set the price, and make the deal for the type if ad (ie. banner, picture with link. link posted) and for how long etc. The only hitch to this type of advertising is that companies usually only do this with sites that have a very high profile with allot of daily traffic. Also your site has to be very target specific. The things that you have posted on your site must be exactly orientated to the product that the seller is advertising.
I would like to invite you to check out my personal profile site, where you can find out more about me, you can see some pictures of myself and my family, as well as learn more about me and what all i am about.

How To Make Money Online Fast & Easy part 2
Well in part 1 of this series we discussed affiliate programs for making money online. Today we will shift our focus to something a little different.
If you would like to earn a living online one of the best ways to do so is through article writing. There is a huge demand out there of FREELANCE writers. The main advantage to being a freelance writer is that you can singup with different freelance writer sites for free. and write and publish articles about what you are interested in, as well as about what you are knowledgeable in.
One of the premier sites for beginner writers is http://www.hubpages.com/ This site allows you to write articles about anything that interests you, and as you write articles you are able to watch your article, as well as your profile ratings move up or down. As you get better and better at writing articles your profile rating goes up, This means that your article content is good, as well as the way you present it is improving. Hub pages is also a free site. It costs nothing to sign up and begin to write and post articles. Another nice feature is that they have several affiliate programs that you can join for free and begin to make money with your articles. Some of the affiliate programs they offer are google AdSense and amazon.
The Biggest challenge for beginner writers (myself included) is passion. In order to write articles that will captivate your audience, the writer must have a passion for what they are writing about. Passion is vital for the writer to be able to write knowledgeable, informative articles in a way that brings across their message in a way that is both interesting to the reader as well as showcase the writers ability to inform the reader of what the article is all about.
Another challenge for writers is TIME MANAGEMENT. Ahhhhhhhh i hit upon the very thing that most of us struggle with. As a writer myself i find that it is so easy to become distracted by all of the other things online. I follow some other writers myself, and i find that i can spend allot of time surfing the net reading other writers articles, and before i know it my times up and i have not yet gotten around to writing my own article. If you what to make money online, you must manage your time so that you can post articles regularly. If you do not post articles regularly you will find that any followers that you might have, or any that would like to follow your articles because of the content will fall by the wayside. As these followers begin to fall by the wayside they stop clicking on your adds, and most importantly, they stop telling others about this AWESOME site where they found some very valuable information about said topic.
So while it is very important to follow other writers, so that you can keep up with what others are writing about, as well as to keep on top of what the HOT topics of the day/week are. DO NOT let this take up all your time.
Without writing and posting your own articles regularly, you will not make money online as an article writer.

How to Make Money with Google AdWords & Clickbank Together
Now you may be wondering how this is going to make you profits?
Ok let’s put everything together to show you how this works.
First you would go to ClickBank and search through the thousands of
affiliate programs for a product you would like to promote.
For this example let’s say that you choose to promote an ebook
called “How to play the Guitar like a pro”.
Let’s say the ebook is selling for $49 with a 50% commission for
affiliates.
This means if you send people to the website and they buy the
ebook, you will make $24.50 for every ebook sold. That’s excellent
money. (ClickBank takes a small percentage but you will still make
about $22 per sale)
You are making just as much as the author of the ebook. 50%
commissions are actually very common with ClickBank products.
So now that you have an affiliate product that you want to promote,
it’s time to start promoting the product.
This is where Google AdWords comes into play.
With Google AdWords you would bid on some key search terms such as:
Playing guitar
Learning guitar
Guitar
Pro guitar
Guitar for beginners
Guitar lessons
Beginning guitar
Guitar guide
When someone does a Google search for one of these terms, your ad
will show up. If that person clicks on your ad you will be charged
the amount that you bid for that search term, sometimes less.
Let’s say that your bid price per click is $0.07 .
If the guitar ebook is a fairly good converting product you can
expect to sell one ebook for every 100 clicks on your Google
AdWords ad.
If that were the case, it would cost you: $7 in advertising to sell
one ebook, which pays you a commission of $24.50. That’s a profit
of $17.50.
Granted figures change from product to product and circumstance,
but there is so much potential out there, all you have to do is
find the right product to market and you can make some serious
profits.
What makes Google AdWords and ClickBank such a powerful
combination? ClickBank supplies the high quality products and
AdWords supplies a very effective way to advertise those products.
Both websites are leaders in their respective fields and are highly
recommended
throughout the industry.
Both AdWords and ClickBank are very simple to use and can be set up
in minutes.
Both systems can be automated. After getting everything set up, you
can just let it be and the profits will continue to come in.
No website is needed.
Millions of dollars have been made using this combination. Millions
will continue to be made using this combination.
Google continues to get more and more popular, which means more
potential purchasers.
ClickBank continues to increase its product base (11,000+ and
growing).
With both Google and ClickBank growing, there is plenty of room for
everyone to make profits and it will continue to get better as the
Internet grows.

How to Make Money Online fast and Easy Part 1
Have you been dreaming about making HUGE amounts of money online? Have you considered affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing is the fastest growing trend on the Internet to date. and the best part of it is, is that it all completely online. You NEVER have to touch, handle, ship, or in any other way deal with product. You can start to earn income from the comforts of your own home. But first you must understand how it works.
The first step in affiliate marketing is to choose an affiliate program to be part of. This is the most crucial step in begining as an affiliate marketer. If you are unable to choose a good program, you may not be able to make money online at all. Although you are trying ultimately to make money, do not let this blind you from choosing a good reliable affiliate program. Most good affiliate programs take some time to really get rolling. As a beginner you must earn credibility, and you must become known as a reliable, honest person, who can be depended on. Try not to be a passive affiliate, get involved with the program. Get to know the people running it, learn how the program works so that you can honestly answer any questions potential customers may ask.
Second. Stick with the program. Making an affiliate program work takes time. DO NOT become one of the millions of wannabees out there that jump from program to program, as often as you change your socks. If you continually switch programs because you do not see immediate results, then you are guaranteed to never make money online.
Third. Have some one guide you through the ins and outs of your chosen affiliate program. A program mentor is essential to really making the program work for you. If you one of their existing affiliates to be your mentor, and they willing do it, then you can rest assured that the program is probably Legit. If you ask them to mentor you, and you get no response then beware. Any program that the promoter is not willing to help you make work is probably not worth your time any effort, (in other words, it is most likely a scam).
Lastly. Always set goals,and objectives, and stick to them. Don't let the hype of fast cash derail your dream of making a income online. Remember this " A dream without action, and effort, is exactly that, A DREAM ". Without setting objectives and goals for yourself, you are setting yourself up to fail.
When setting goals don't shoot for the moon in your first week or month, because this is not realistic, Set goals for yourself that are attainable, and as you reach them you will gain confidence in your self and your program.

The Power of Affiliate Programs for Making Money Online
The most asked question by all newbie online business people, ( ie bloggers, web page owners ect.) is HOW DO I ACTUALLY make money through my site?
Well the answer is fairly simple. Although simple in terms of reality for some of us (myself included) can be a daunting task. So i have decided to attempt to explain a little about how simple affiliate marketing is, as well as to explain a little bit about how it works as well.
Affiliate Programs & Profits.
The best part about affiliate marketing is:
1) You don't need your own website or blog
2) You don't need your own product.
3) You don't need ANY money to start.
Let me explain the 3 points above a little more in depth for you.
1) you don't need your own website or blog.
- to be an affiliate marketer you do not need a web page or a blog to be able to promote other peoples products. All you have to do is join a affiliate marketing site, and begin to promote their products via email, forums, discussion groups, article publishing sites. There are so many ways to promote affiliate products that don't cost you any money, nor do you have to own your own website or blog and have the hassle of looking after them.
2) you don't need your own product.
- the best part about affiliate marketing is that you don't have to create a product or write an e-book or anything like that, all good affiliate sites have loads of products that you can pick and choose from, and promote in so many ways.
- the way most affiliate sites work, is that you sign up to become an affiliate, then you choose the product(s) that you would like to promote, then the affiliate site will give you a special link for you to use in your chosen method of promoting. This link is what the affliate site uses to ensure that you get credit (paid) for anyone who clicks on the link that you placed in your promotion article, e-mail, forum, discussion group, And makes a purchase.
3) Don't need any money to start.
- with affiliate marketing you can start to market affiliate products without spending any money. There are so many FREE affiliate marketing sites out there that you can join for free and MOST of them are LEGIT.
My Favorite 3 are:
1) http://www.cj.com/
2) http://www.linkshare.com/
3) http://www.clickbank.com/
For Commission Junction, log into their site and click on " Be a publisher" and follow the sign up procedure.
For Link Share and ClickBank, log into their site and click on become an affiliate, and follow the sign-up procedure.
The best part about these sites is that they are 100% free to join, and they have tons of products and things to promote that can pay you as high as 75% commission.
Now you are wondering how does one go about promoting these products without spending any money. Well the answer to that is simple.
- you have to be careful with e-mails, because unless you are absolutely sure the person receiving the e-mail wants to know about the product you are promoting, then you are spamming, and all affiliate marketing sites will cancel your account with them if you spam. So make sure before you send an e-mail that you know that the person wants what you are going to be sending them.
- another way is through forums. Search out different forums that deal with the product that you are promoting and join them. When you post to the forum, talk about the product that you are promoting and post your link for interested parties to click on to get more info. These forums for the most part are free to join as well.
- Another effective way to promote your affiliate products is to write and post articles on article directories. When you write and article about the product you are promoting you can also include your link in the article, and get traffic to your link that way. There are also tons of free article directories out there, that get allot of traffic to them.
a few of them are:
1) http://www.ezinearticles.com/
2) http://www.goarticles.net/
3) http://www.ladypens.com/
4) http://www.hubpages.com/
That's just a few that i know of, and some that i use as well. So there you have it. I hope this helps you out, whether you are just starting out, or if you have been trying for awhile and have not been to successful.
