subject: The Absolute Easiest Way to Make Money With the Internet [print this page] The first simple way is to get paid directly from Google is through their Google AdSense program. If you're not familiar how AdSense works, I'll give a brief overview.
Basically, advertisers pay Google to advertise when potential customers search for keywords related to their products. These advertisers bid against each other for certain search terms and pay each time their ad is clicked. This is called Pay Per Click (PPC).
In an effort to expand the revenue potential from these ads, Google shares the revenue when individual publishers display the ads on their webpages. When visitors click the ads, Google pays you a percentage of what they get from the advertisers. That could be anywhere from $ 0.25 to $ 5.00 per click.
Another way is affiliate marketing which allows you to earn a commission for referring people to other people's products. Whenever the person you referred buys, you get a percentage of the sale.- Posting relevant comments on blogs, forums, YouTube videos, etc that include your affiliate link.
- Posting ads on all the sites that accept free advertising like USFreeAds.com and Craig's List.
- Doing basic keyword research to find 3 - 4 relevant word phrases that you can get traffic for in the search engines (see Google's Keyword Tool).
- Using those keywords to get traffic by posting content that includes your affiliate link on GoArticles, HubPages, Squidoo, Scribd, and other sites that rank well in the search engines.
- Being active on traffic exchange sites such as List Joe, List Auction, and Viral Ads Unleashed to get traffic through your affiliate link.
