Most of the information about making money on the internet are focused on how to make “more” money, instead of how to actually make money. Making money online is divided into indirect and direct methods.

Direct Methods

Here are the direct methods of making money online:

1. PPC Advertising Networks – PPC profitability usually depends on how the traffic goes in your website. It is a direct method in which you will earn money for every click on your PPC ads. Popular CPCs include Chitika, Clicksor, BidVertiser, YPN and Google Adsense

2. CPM Advertising Networks – Works similar with PPC. However, it differs in that, you get paid in every thousand impressions or page views. This works very well for blogs and websites which receive great amounts of views per month.

3. Direct Banner Advertising – it is a method where you sell your space for advertisers. This works well but you need to have many audiences before you can convince an advertiser to post ad in your space.

4. Text Link Ads – the selling of text is a discreet method of making money online but Google recently penalizes those who sell text links but have no-follow tag.

5. Affiliate Marketing – It is a popular technique where you act as a middle man in selling products or services through the internet. This advertising method is usually termed as CPS (Cost Per Action)

6. Monetization Widgets – easy to use and works like the text links. But, web owners can have the choice of whether or not to “plug and play” their widgets in their site.
