How to Make Money Online Without Having Your Own Products

November 8, 2011 20 Comments

It’s hard to believe that you can start making money online just by creating a website or publishing a blog without having to experience it first or know someone who does. It is like “To see is to believe” or “Photos or it never happened” kind of thing, but to make money online without having your own products and just a blog or a website is not a myth. It is a fact. It is like the air you breathe—it is real but you just could not see it; and knowing that you have a heart or pair of lungs even without seeing them with your own eyes yet.

But money doesn’t just come easily because you want it. You have to work hard and learn as many things as you can to be able to succeed online. So, what are your options as a newbie in online marketing?

Create a website or a blog

To create a website, you only need as little as $20 to start with a domain name and a webhosting plan. When you’re too lucky, you can have them for free or at a discounted price. Once you create your own website, it allows you open windows to endless possibilities of making money in the internet. What can you do with a website? Here are some of your choices:

1. Learn and Earn from PPC

PPC or Pay Per Click is a very popular internet advertising model that allows you to receive payment from publishers each time their ads on your site are being clicked. So that means, as a webmaster, you have full control as to how you can drive the traffic to go your site because that means a large potential of getting a good amount of clicks and revenue in return.

2. Write relevant and useful information within a niche

The secret to producing high quality content is to write about something that you really know about. If you know how to create herbal medicines and home remedies, write about it and focus your energy in creating useful content on that niche. If you added Google AdWords, you will surely earn something from writing niche content.

3. Making money from In-text Links

In-text link ads, such as the one from Infolinks, are ads that double underline the keyword inside your content. Earnings are calculated in the number of page impressions and clicks. So this requires traffic and good keyword research from a webmaster’s end.

4. Paid Blogging and Paid Reviews

Write as much high quality product reviews as you can and eventually attract clients to pay you for every review or blog you do for them. If this does not happen, you can submit your blog to websites that pay for blogs such as SponsoredReviews, ReviewMe, and Payu2blog.

5. Build a website’s popularity, drive in traffic, and sell it

Look how some website ideas became an eye candy for huge companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo. Youtube, for example, is sold to Google for $1.65 billion. You probably have an idea that can be sold in more than a billion dollars, so why not start now?

Conclusion

The keys to making money out of the five ways listed previously are creativity and hard work. These are already tried and tested ways on how to earn, but, what will make you earn money online is an idea that makes a difference—something that is innovative enough to make life easier, technology wise.

    This is extremely vague! Online marketing and branding is extremely technical. if it were as easy as you make it sound, then more people would be making at least a few thousand a month. But alas 95% of people online make close to nothing.

    I’m gonna look around the rest of the site to see what else I can glean here. Perhaps I can give you some free tips because I’m a seasoned veteran in the online gig.

      Hi Dudeman, thanks for your comment. It’s true that making money online isn’t that simple. If it was, everybody would making money online now.

      The author didn’t write that it was easy to make money. In fact, he writes it’s hard work. This article is more an overview of the different possibilities how to make money online. And you already know that, and I already know that, but there are also a lot of beginners reading this blog. And for them, it could be interesting to know that there is more out there then Google Adsense.

      But as you say, it’s just a little percentage of the bloggers worldwide that’s making money. And just a couple of them can make a decent living of blogging. By the way, I also don’t make any money with this blog. But blogging (another blog) helped me launching my company.

      Really appreciate your honest reaction! By the way, don’t hesitate to contact me if you ever want to write a guest post. I think those free tips could be interesting for all of us here!

    great post, the main problem people have is patience, they feel money would come in a few days, this post really helps, thanks

      Hi Kingsley. You’re right here I think. In the past year I read a LOT of blogs and articles about making money online. The thing is, it’s much more work then just starting a blog, adding Google Adsense and lay back… A lot of articles try us to do believe it’s possible, but it’s not. Blogging is real business these days, and just like all other businesses, it takes a lot of work to reach something.

      I once read a blog of a guy, and he started with the goal that he wanted to earn $1000 after 1 month. After 3 weeks he quit blogging because it was obvious that he never was going to make that. Not after 1 month, but also not after a couple months.

      That’s why it’s very interesting to read the stories of the big bloggers (try problogger.net). There you can really learn something.

    Making money on the internet is easy but it requires dedication and patience. One should not expect to make ton of money overnight if they don’t know how to follow simple guidance.

    Otherwise, sky is your limit.

    I might add that the best way to earn money is to get traffic to your sites. When you have enough people visiting your site then it gets even easier to come up with your own custom ways of earning money specific to your site. It all boils down to traffic. I too designed a website but I am finding hard to get visitors to my site. we can make some extra money only when we will get some good visitors. So we have to keep constant effort and invest time.So readers have to keep that in mind.
    Once again, keep up with the good work and thanks for this awesome list.

      Hi Rehamn, thanks for your comment. Traffic is very important, but it’s even better when you have loyal readers who trust you. If you create your own product, you can promote it to people who already know you and follow you because they like what you write. That makes it easier to make a sale.
