subject: Making Money Online - You Dont Need An Website For It [print this page] Having an website can be very profitable if you know what you doing BUT is not the only way to make money. Its only one of them. Affiliate marketing is a much easier way to make money. If you dont know what it is, it means that you promote other people products or services in exchange of a commission. There is a website that will offer you from 50% up to 75% commissions. This website is Click Bank. You can choose from thousands of products that you wish to promote. Once you choose one its time to promote it. There are so many ways that you can do this, and i will show you some of them on this article.
P.P.C. Advertising
P.P.C. stands for Pay Per Click. This system is used on Google Adwords and AdBrite. All you have to do is create ads that will be displayed on search engines and/or websites. Adwords allows you to advertise in both while AdBrite only on websites. This is a payed service so you need to spend some money, but you will get a lot of exposure that might return as sales. Giving you a practical example about these ads: when you search something on google dont you see a section on the right that is "Sponsored links"? Or if you are on website you might see "ads by google". This is where your ads can show up. Millions of people will see it everyday.
Article Marketing
This is a free method that as you can see i am using right now. All you have to do is write articles to help people about something you feel comfortable talking about. At the end of the article you will be allowed to write something on a resource box. If your article helped the reader and if he/she want to know more about it, they might click on the link and eventually by the product you are promoting.
Classified Ads
There are thousands of free classified ads directories that you can use for this effect, however there is a particular one that i recommend: UsFreeads. Its a free directory and allows you to have your classified ads showing up on the google search engine in exchange of a small fee.
Forums
On forums you can write your own signature. If you dont know what that is, is something that will always be seen by people when you make a post. By helping people on forums related to your product you will get respect and credibility and this may lead some people to click on your link and make a purchase.
All of these methods do not require a website. Once you have choose the one you are good at it and start making money, then you can consider to make your own website and profit even more.
