During the 15 months that Court’s Internet Marketing School has been around, we have discussed literally dozens of ways to make money online. Many of you are quite new to the site, and many others will be introduced to the site by searching for information contained in this article. In order to help everyone to better understand the ways people go about creating an online income, I wanted to provide a simple list, complete with a simple explanation of each method. I will also try to point you toward some resources that you can use to dig deeper into creating online income.
#1 - Starting a Blog
Blogs are informational websites that people use to share information. The basic idea here is that the sharing of free information can bring visitors to your website, and you can in turn make a profit from that traffic. Most blogs will show the latest articles (known as posts) on the homepage, making it very easy for people to find the latest information that has been shared.
Examples:
People use a variety of methods to bring traffic to a blog including search engine optimization, social media, paid advertising, email marketing, and press releases. Recently there is a growing trend of bloggers using traditional media such as television and radio to gain exposure to their blogs, but in all honesty this is only happening for elite level bloggers.
To make money with a blog, people use a variety of different methods including selling advertising space, products, and services. Many other blogs make great money by using affiliate marketing, which is selling products for others in exchange for commissions.
This method is a great way to go, especially if you want to start casually. You can start a blog with no pressure, and allow it to build up over time. For more information on this method, check out this post: Starting a Blog.
#2 - Starting a Content Website
This method uses the same basic idea as idea #1. You will use free content to attract visitors to a location where you can sell advertising and products.
Technically, a blog is a content website, but for the purpose of this guide, ‘content websites’ are the traditional content sites that aren’t blogs. There are a lot of ways to create content websites. Usually people use content management systems like Joomla, Drupal, and Mambo to manage the content.
You may be wondering to yourself what type of content people use to create content websites. These sites can be built around literally anything, but many of them review products and services or report on news specific to an industry or niche.
Like idea #1, people use a lot of different methods to bring traffic to content websites, such as search engine optimization, social media, paid advertising, email marketing, and press releases.
