Google AdSense for Domains
If you have unused domain names that you are not using the company who you bought it from could be making money from this (well they are) not only because you bought it and are not using it but because they are showing there adds on it and every time some one goes to this domain they are making money from your domain name.

So now its time to turn this around and for you to start making the money

YOU DO NOT NEED WEBSPACE FOR THIS ***SO NO COST***

What you are going to do is park your domain and have your links show up on your domain so you receive the money not these big companies the great thing about this is that you do not need to buy any web space to park your domain some companies will charge you a little but there are some that don’t (two free sites below)

There are several companies that offer this service like 123-parking.co.uk. But I believe that Google is the best as most people have a Google AdSense account now and its all linked like most things with Google

It’s all really easy to do like most things with Google here is the link to find out more info http://www.google.com/domainpark/

Buying And Selling Domains

The dot com gold rush made many millionaires but there's still plenty of money in domain real estate and still some good catches available. A good dot com may be difficult to find now. But there are a lot of gTLDs and ccTLDs from the .info to .eu to .tv to .co.in and they all present opportunities being discussed in several good forums. Put your thinking hat on, buy a famous word domain for a few dollars and put it up on the domain selling sites.

How Affiliate programs work

If you have a website, and you want to make money from it you should consider joining an affiliate program. If you don’t have a website but are willing to learn how to build one be sure to read the simple guide to ‘Designing and Building a Website’

Becoming an affiliate means you can make money by advertising and promoting the products of other merchants from your website.
This is generally done by placing banners and text links on your site. When a visitor clicks on a merchant’s banner or text link they arrive at the merchant’s website whereupon the visitor may make a purchase from which you will earn a commission. The results of promoting someone else’s products however, can vary enormously. Simply putting up a banner or a text link on your website is unlikely to generate much commission, unless you receive many thousands of daily visitors. But if you’re willing to learn a few simple marketing techniques, such as pre-selling through recommendations, even with a small website you could soon start building up a useful income.

You can apply what you learn from affiliate marketing to sell almost anything you can think of. But ideally your first priority should be to sign up with merchants that sell products your website visitors are interested in. For example, if you wanted to advertise pet food on a ‘Tips for breeding dogs’ website then you’re much more likely to generate a sale and earn a commission than you would if you placed the advert on a site for ‘How to build a PC’ because most of your visitors simply wouldn’t be interested in pet food. So always look for products and services that are compatible with the content of your site.

You may be surprised at the range of products and services available from merchants who require website publishers to promote their stuff. To get some idea I suggest you take a peek at one of the best affiliate network directories on the net Commission junction. It’s free to join and there is no charge to link up with any of the merchants listed. Everything is simple and straightforward. You get quick access to the html code for all the banners and text links you need as well as daily statistics of how many sales you make and which advertisements are working well and which ones aren’t. All you need to get started is some basic knowledge of how to cut and paste the linking code into your web pages. This is the code that has your affiliate identification embedded into it to accurately track all sales.

Promoting other peoples’ products through an affiliate program is a useful way to generate income using your website. You don’t need to hold any stock or have the responsibility to fulfill the order or take payment. You simply get paid for introducing the buyer to the seller and when a sale is made your obligation ends there.

There are a number of ebooks and articles available online that can help you learn more about affiliate marketing. My advice is to seek out the people who are already making substantial incomes from promoting affiliate programs and learn from them. People like Rosalind Gardner for example, whose monthly turnover is in excess of $20.000 per month, simply from promoting affiliate programs using simple methods that anyone can learn and put into practice. Rosalind has written an ebook entitled The Super Affiliate Handbook which reveals her successful techniques to creating a super affiliate income.

Another proponent of affiliate marketing is James Martell who makes tens of thousands of dollars a month promoting other peoples products and services. He also has a very good course in affiliate marketing which is packed with information and knowledge that have taken him years to aquire. You can read more about his affiliate marketing course by clicking here.

The Internet Marketing Center also has some excellent advice for everyone new to affiliate marketing. You can sign up for their excellent affiliate program and gain access to their affiliate training and resource center for free. As experts in the field of internet marketing their products are second to none. The brilliant internet marketing course which can be found at the Internet Marketing Center is packed with everything you need to know about internet marketing and is widely regarded as the best available.

What is a Money Making Web Site?

A money making web site is a virtual page hosted on web servers containing a specific group of information that people are looking for and willing to spend money on. Often people will create money making websites in order to generate income from the comfort of their own home. All money making websites have one thing in common, and that is to make money for their owners. The difference between a normal website and a money making website can be told by its appearance. Normally a website will not contain any ads or require any of your information. Money making websites, on the other hand, commonly requires that their visitors purchase a product or service and has advertisements that usually require personal details, such as name and email.

For money making websites, money is generated from product/service sales and advertisement revenues. But it totally depends on how the owner operates his or her money making website. Different products and services require different approaches. Some money making websites promote a product or service directly. Some money making websites collect their visitor’s details and slowly sell their product or service through email. Some money making websites provide information for free but generate money from advertisers.

Overall a money making website should look simple and plain. It should not contain too many fancy animations and/or graphics. It should be informative and easy to read. It shouldn’t have too many advertisements. It shouldn’t promote too many products.
