40 Ways to Make Money Online

Content is King, no doubt about it. In order to make money online, generally it’s a three step
process; Content = Traffic = Revenue.

All 3 are needed in quality and quantity to build a successful site.

Paying people to write content is probably a sound investment, as sound as you will get. Search
engines love unique and fresh content and if you have vast amounts of new content coming online
daily, you’ll rocket up the google rankings.

With all of this content on your site, you can then profit from affiliate links and targeted ads, for
example with adsense.

The great thing about a site with lots of unique content is that you’ll get all kinds of niches and areas
of interest. Through sheer quantity, you’re bound to start nailing down top slots in search engines
and thus driving highly targeted traffic to your site, which means more revenue and users will be
more likely to click on ads or affiliate links.

Ezinearticles, wikipedia, consumerreview… these are all sites powered by content and the more
content the merrier.

If you think about it, say you want to buy a camera, you’ll search for it, and more than likely click on
ads to buy the camera or click on any affiliate links you see as you’re very interested in the camera
(otherwise you wouldn’t be searching for it).

Creating a facebook or bebo application for users to add to their profiles is the ultimate marketing tool for your site.

These sites have millions and millions of active users who range from all sorts of different backgrounds and age groups… it’s a mouthwatering prospect for any site to have a successful facebook or bebo application as it means traffic and lots of it.

Most people can’t create a facebook app themselves, but thankfully, sites like rentacoder, elance etc… have loads of programmers who will do the job for you, for a price.

You might have a simple site which gets images and creates a little slideshow for example… you could create a facebook app and watch your traffic spiral out of control as people start to use it and check it out. Add a simple link to your site somewhere on the app and you’re laughing.

Of course traffic on it’s own doesn’t = cash. But if you follow the advice on this site, you’ll have no problem turning traffic into cash. A few affiliate links or CPC ads on your site and bob’s your uncle.
