How to Use Your Talent to Make Money on the Internet

Posted: November 23rd, 2009 | Category: Writing and Speaking

People who are the least bit savvy about Web marketing know there are plenty of scams. Unfortunately, marketers with no morals take advantage of the multitudes of people who come online every day looking for ways to quit their day jobs. It’s a shame, because millions probably get duped into spending money uneccessarily, only to pursue schemes that never yield any fruit. Thankfully, methods abound for making money online with no up-front investment. This should be good news to those who have had run-ins with Web scheme run by scam artists!

 

But the line between scam and just an ill-advised business opportunity can sometimes be thin. An example of this is the controversy over an web business opportunity named Site Build It. Some people think that one or more people have created a Site Build It review that was misleading. The owner has publicly defended himself and he could be totally right. But it’s up to every individual to do their own research before paying money for Internet “opportunities”.

One of the most successful ways I’ve found to make money online is above-board and also fairly simple to implement. I make money writing on HubPages. HubPages — a group blogging site — makes it easy to generate content-based ad revenue. The number of HubPages “hubs” you create is up to you. Each hub has the potential to make up to five forms of revenue: Google AdSense, Kontera in-text ads, Amazon products, eBay auction items and any affiliate program you’d like to implement. Sixty percent of the impressions (page views) that generate revenue go to you and HubPages gets the other 40 percent. Affiliate programs are an exception to that rule though; One hundred percent of income generated by click-throughs from an affiliate link on a hub would belong to you. It takes a while to get good at writing money-making hubs but the revenue you can generate over time makes it worth it.

There are many affiliate programs out there but I like to use RevResponse on my hubs, because it provides credible free information for people. When anyone clicks on your links and qualifies to receive free RevResponse publications or white papers, you get paid. It’s just that easy. Qualifying is not a shoe-in though, so that aspect is important to understand. To get more details about the rules, read this RevResponse review. It will help you determine whether signing up is worth your time.
