People are always skeptical when I tell them some bloggers make thousands of dollars on the internet. It seems like making money online is immediately associated with fraud, too good to be true, or a scam. You will be surprised about the possibilities of making money online after reading this article.
I often mention to people John Lee Dumas website which generated$144,860.50 in May alone. Or that Pat Flynn, who made more than $75,000.00per month. And what about that of Nathan Barry who has made $256,725.00 in2013. Each of them uses one of the 4 methods described in this article. Of course, after reading this article, you will also be able to use these techniques, they are within the reach of everyone.
Below are the 4 best methods bloggers use to make money online:
Method #1 – monetize its site with Adsense (advertising)
In 2006, a man opens a blog where he claims to be a caricature of Steve Jobs (www.fakesteve.net ) everyone loved its contents! Articles were funny, well researched and the angle was excellent. In fact, his site was so good that it has attracted the attention of the New York Times!
The author was able to remain anonymous for a long period of time, until the day Brad Stones wrote an article about him in the N Y Times, the author of the blog became instantly famous his name was Daniel Lyons. The day of the publication of the article in the magazine, the site hosts more than 500 000 new visitors! Daniel could not believe his eyes! He would finally become rich = D!
His pay? $100 for the day. $103, 981 for the month. After that the rest was history, his website started to have millions of visitors and he made a tons of money from that. Daniel Lyons then commented: “I learned the hard way that a blog can achieve many extraordinary things, and that making a lot of money is one of them.”
In the industry, AdSense is seen as a farce. It is the least cost-effective way, but it is also the easiest to generate revenue through its web site. In less than two, you can install the snippet of code on your site and start to monetize.
And the more traffic you get on your website, the less you will need AdSense advertising. You can directly sell ads spots on your website to big companies that have a common interest with his audience. In this way, he can afford to sell much higher the CPM (cost per thousand impressions).
On a simple blog, AdSense can make about $1.25 CPM. When you sell to businesses, it is not uncommon to make between $ 8 and $25. Most blogger uses subject that drive a lot of traffic such as current news, a celebrity blog, fashion, sport, etc.
you need to build a website based on a subject that is high value than others, example: Loan, insurace, trading, law, etc.
if you make a site about loan and add AdSense ads, Google will automatically show loan based ads in your website but it is very difficult to make money on these type of keywords because it is very high CPC competition. So the trick is pick a high CPC low competition keyword and build your website based on that.
Without proper keyword research it would be difficult to make a lot of money from adsense.

Method #2 – make money on the internet with the sale of products
Sell a product online!
Your product does not have to be concrete, solid. Nowadays, can use Gumroad to sell just about anything online in less than 5 minutes.
I honestly think that the sale of digital products is the best way to monetize his blog. It is also in this way that Nathan Barry had done to make as much money ($256,725.00)! He has even launched a book explaining how to make lots of money with the sale of a book (ironic?).
Of course, there not only the sale of book. I know a photographer who made his life by selling his photos as a monthly subscription.
A good part of his repertoire is free and royalty free. And finally, if you want to sell a physical product, nothing prevents you!
You can use Shopify or WooCommerce to create an online shop. If you don’t want to have to deal with the delivery and handling, you can use what is called a DropShipper. I personally know Doba, I’ve used them in 2007 when I opened my shop online on eBay. It integrates very well with eBay, Facebook and Shopify.
Method #3 – sale service

Another way to make money on the Internet is through the sale of services. Whether you are graphic designer, programmer or even a writer, you can use social media to attract some traffic through Google AdWords and Facebook Ads.
A website like that will attract the attention of several companies. This attention is often manifested by job offers, offers partnerships and contracts.
Selling service represents the vast majority of the revenue generated through my web site. Of course, it comes is not a ‘passive’ income, but I wanted to include it in the article because it is indeed a way to increase revenues through the Internet. However, there are also what we call the Software As A Service (SAAS).
You create a software to help people and monetize under single or recurring basis. Buffer or DashThis are good examples of SAAS. This business model aimed more at people with a background in Information Technology. However, nothing prevents you to hire a developer friend to create the software for you!
Method #4 – recommend products (affiliate sales)
Free money for everybody
Let’s say that I really like Amazon and I decide to promote their products my blog advertising. I would get a commission on each sales made through my sales pitch.
On the Internet, this kind of practice is very common. In fact, several sites only exist for this reason. TopTenReviews is a good example. Looking for ‘best antivirus’ on Google, fall on the list of the 10 best antivirus on the market with the list of the pros and the cons. If you decide to click on one of the article links, a cookie will be installed on your computer, indicating that it is thanks to toptenreviews.com you are landed on this site. If you decide eventually to buy, the author of the will get a certain amount in commission. Personally, I recommend to promote products that you use and love. Some of the best affiliate programs are Shareasale, clickBank, JVZoo, Amazon , etc. You can check my previous article about how to make money with affiliate marketting: 3 tips
There are many others, but these are the main that I use. Some websites such as oprintjet.com have a private system to manage their affiliate links. You will need to search for “affiliate” or “partner program” at the bottom of their website to access them.
Conclusion
Making money online has never been easier. Whether you are photographer, writer, tattoo artist, designer, musician… In short, regardless of what you are passionate about, you have the opportunity to generate extra income (at least).
