Make Money With the Internet

“It’s just there, right? I use it to google what’s on TV tonight! How on earth do I make money with the internet?”

Ten years ago it hardly existed - now we can hardly do without it! But there is serious money to be made on the internet. Thousands of salesmen and ‘internet gurus’ will be only too happy to tell you how they made their millions (”in just six weeks“)and to sell you the secrets to their success. It can be very easy to feel completely overwhelmed.

Don’t worry.

You can make money with the internet and there are (amidst all the junk) some really top class resouces and tools to help you on your way. (Many of the best ones offer completely free information to help you on your way)

How To Make Money With the Internet

Many of these ideas have complete pages devoted to them elsewhere, so I shall just provide the links: for example

Build Your Own Website

which might seem a huge undertaking and totally impossible without specialist (techie) knowledge. However it is possible! There are so many tools out there to help and it is great fun, incredibly fulfilling and can be an incredibly profitable

way to make money with the internet because it incorporates so many of the other ways of making money from home online. I built this site - my first - without any techie understanding at all through ‘Site Build It!’who are well worth checking out because, even if you decide not to build your site through them, they give you so much valuable and free information in a really easy to understand format. I’m loving it. And am starting - after three months as I write this page - to make money through it too.

Make Money Blogging

If you thought your blog was just an online diary (open to the world) you could be missing out! You can make money with your blog! and this page tells you how and links you to some awesome resources.
Make Money With Affiliate Programmes

Affiliate programmes are fantastic! Basically you make money by selling other people’s products but you don’t have to do any of the hard work! You don’t have to take money, sort admin, or even send them the product!

If they click through to somebody else’s site (or salespage) from your website… blog… article… comment on a forum… then you get a commission on whatever they buy from that site!

Commissions vary: some of the bast offer a 50% commission, others may only offer 5% but it all builds up! It really is one of the most profitable ways to make money with the internet.

Article Writing
Again, a page is on its way, but in the meantime let me redirect you to the site of the guru of article writing - Jeff Herring, whose site is a goldmine of tips and ideas about ‘multiple streams of income’ from your article writing and a myriad of ways to make mopney with the internet.

He even offers two free article templates to get you started! He also offers free weekly teleseminars (you don’t have to ring the States: it is all available over the net, and where time differences make it impossible to listen in, you can get the recording later).
Sell Your Photos Online
People in all lines of business are always on the lookout for good quality pictures to use for advertising and illustration.

If you have stacks of beautiful photographs sitting on your computer. You can make money through your photography!

This is not something I have ever done (my kids take better pictures than I do!) You won’t make millions, but you could make some reasonable pocket money working online from home.
Make Money Doing Surveys

It’s an easy, fast and free way to make money with the internet. It will not be a lot of money, but if you enjoy clicking boxes and giving your opinions it could well be worthwhile.
