To help you make money from a website that you may already have, there is the choice of joining an affiliate program.
If haven't got your own website yet, you can get in touch with a web designer who has experience with affiliate marketing.
An affiliate means you make money by advertising products or services from other merchants by placing advertising banners and text links on your site., Someone who visits your site may click on one of the banners, which takes them to the merchant's website and if they make a purchase you will make a commission on the sale.
But you won't make a fortune simply by putting a banner on your site, that is of course unless you get thousands of visitors a day.
But if you implement a couple of simple techniques then a small website could bring in a respectable income.
A first priority would be to link yourself to a merchant whose goods would be bought by the type of visitors you get to your site there isn't much sense in having a banner for a cat food merchant when your website is solely concerned with PC maintenance.
One of the best affiliate network directories is the 'Commission Junction', it won't cost you a penny and nor will it if you link up with one of listed merchants.
The whole process is very straightforward and simple, you won't need any programming expertise to get going.
Advertising on your site for someone else's goods is a good way of earning an income, all you have to do is point someone in the right direction and then your responsibility ends.
Money-making surveys
Firstly find out which company you want to work for there are a couple of ways you can do this.
Most survey companies allow current members to invite friends so if you receive an invitation from someone you know you can trust then there's no harm in going for it.
You could also of course simply do a Google search for paid surveys but unfortunately a Googling doesn't always give you a straight answer you are going to get a million and one hits if you simply search for "Online Surveys".
An easier way to start would be with www.surveypolice.com they have a list of all the legitimate survey companies, with comments and a place to rate each of the companies.
The following is a couple of the better online survey companies:
Inbox Dollars - www.inboxdollars.com You will receive $1 for a survey and you're allowed one survey every day, they also have a paid emails facility which may not pay much but you still read your emails do you not?
My Survey - www.mysurvey.com - look like one of the best with points being awarded for each survey completed.
1000 points equals $10 but they are forever awarding bonus points, so that racking up the points doesn't take that long
Finally, remember you won't get rich with these online survey companies and there a lot of companies who want to get their hands on your money instead of vice versa.

Blogging for money
There's a good chance that you have mixed feelings about blogging for money, it's common for some people to think it might be evil, lame or obnoxious or anything like that then the answer is simply don't commercialise it.
But if monetizing your blog doesn't offend your sensibilities then go for it, on the other hand if you think it's evil, then that's fine too.
But you must seriously make up your mind before you start, because making money in this way is difficult enough without self-sabotage kicking in and making your attempt somewhat half-hearted.
It should feel pretty good making some money from your blog, there's nothing wrong about having a healthy need to succeed.
If in your opinion your blog has real value, then you deserve to earn something from it.
But you can't be shy about the whole thing, if you want to put in some ads, then really put those ads in there it has to be the same with requesting donations, don't be shy.
There are always some who will complain when you commercialise a free site, they always do.
Is it possible to make a proper income online? Without a doubt. It will take longer if you have a day job but the opportunities exist.

What is Niche Devil?
In the words of the developers themselves it is for, "Making money by feeding the Google Monster what it wants without barely lifting a finger".
A cool, if overlong tag line, but it's not about that, it's about whether or not it's worth the money!
The initial setup is intriguing, firstly you buy MANY domains, hosting and Niche Devil, then you install Niche Devil on your on your hosting account, you run the script, insert your chosen keywords and your affiliate links for the store you're building and abracadabra, Niche Devil spits out a site with content and products in about 37 seconds. Got to be witchcraft, all you need now of course is a few visitors with deep pockets, and Niche Devil promises that too with a little help from pinging but for the moment let's take a breath and consider the pros and cons.
The script has to be uploaded to your server/hosting account via ftp and your server/hosting account must meet certain minimum requirements.
Just like the old BANS stores, Niche Devil does the same thing and look what happened there, Niche Devil is making a lot of noise about "ever refreshing" content, scraping or pulling media from all around the Internet that relate to your chosen keywords, it works well and looks pretty good but what about the legality of using what maybe copyrighted material?.
Niche Devil is also stating things like, "Hurry up, only available for 14 days" which can only raises various issues.
Why are they restricting their selling window? To get you to buy now, or are they worried about what happens when experience kicks in and we know what we're dealing with and why would you sell a product you are convinced will make everyone so rich and not just use it yourself.

Making money on Twitter
Becoming a professional Twitter for a company could be your first route, most companies aren't prepared for the social media realm but are longing to join, they need people who are already expert and all you'll need to do is look on the job boards for "Seeking Twitter Pros".
You could sell stuff on Twitter, anything at all, "Special offers for Twitter followers" are now commonplace, try 'Micro fundraising' by combining micro blogging and micro funding.
You could try your hand at promoting music. A service called Tra.kz combines a short URL service with a music community and a marketplace, which sounds a lot better than the music industry or the iTunes monopoly
Advertising is always a good way of earning money online and there are two Twitter ads services I've noticed so far: Magpie and The Branch, neither seem spammy but do appear professional enough although as yet I don't know if you can earn proper money without your followers being scared off.
There is another Twitter ad solution and that is Twitadd, this places banner ads on your Twitter page, why not try a little affiliate link, not always welcome but there's no harm in receiving commission from something you already support
There are business opportunities to find on Twitter, there are daily Tweets saying stuff like "Looking for x programmer", many companies offer Twitter Apps for free, there are more and more professional applications appearing on the web, applications people would pay for.
You can't really review a product on Twitter but you can certainly mention it, but it does appear unfair that you can't advertise your content.
Lastly, it may be simple and limited but Twitter's uses may be many and varied, soon there may be companies who will require Twitter consultants and specialists to teach them how to use it in their particular niche market

Beware of Money Making Scams
Scams exist every where, not just on the internet. You may be very level headed and think you are unlikely to fall for money making scams but unfortunately they come in many forms, and lurk everywhere.
Types of Scams
A scam is something that is set up to defraud you. It can be to get your personal information, or it can be to sell you something that is not as described.
Credit card fraud
Spoof emails claiming to be from official companies
False auctions
One scam that is hard to pin down as being an actual scam, is get rich quick opportunities. They are hard to class as scams because, the webmaster is very careful in the way they describe the opportunity. The only person likely to get rich from it, is the webmaster themselves.
To avoid any get rich quick scam, always remember, "if something seems to good to be true, it usually is".
I am not saying that all money making opportunities are scams, far from it, all I will say is that to get rich or make a decent amount of money online, takes time.
How will I know if a make money online opportunity is legitimate?
Use Google and forums to check out if anyone has reviewed them.
In my opinion, the only real way to make money online, is to find a niche and be the best at it. If you want to get involved with an existing opportunity, then use sites that offer advice on making money for free, or free resource sites that give independent advice.

I have no interest in writing fiction, i am a realist who finds it hard to get carried away with anything fantasy. That's a big problem. If i don't enjoy it, how on earth will my readers. See what i mean........
Write about something that interests you
If you write about something you know about and that interests you, then you will make it truly readable. When you are passionate about something, you will put your heart and soul into it, your readers will pick up on this.
