Basic Ways for Beginners to Make Money Online

There are two basic ways to make money online: selling something or promoting something. You've got to have something of value before you can make any money. That's just simple economics.

Selling or promoting something of value...

Let's step aside from selling, and focus on the aspect of "online promotion" to make money since it is what the vast majority of bloggers are doing to make money online.

Online promotion often refers to affiliate marketing/internet marketing where one promotes a product or service in the form of a banner/ad of some sort or just a simple text link in the writer's content.

Using your content as online promotion is a basic way to make money online for beginners to advanced. Everybody does it who wants to make a living online.

Now that the boring little intro is done let's talk about how beginners like yourselves can start making money with the basics.

First off, you should get a blog or two, maybe even more and start writing original content about A topic. Do not stray from your topic. Choose your keywords well. Do not, I repeat DO NOT monetize your blog until you have a few really good articles written and posted and you are seeing search traffic coming in. The longer you wait to monetize, the better.

Then, according to your niche either monetize with affiliate marketing or make your money with adsense. I think affiliate marketing is great, but it has it's ups and downs. I prefer making money with adsense because it is a much steadier income once you're getting regular traffic.

Affiliate marketing is greatly hit or miss. There's more involved for you to make any money because someone has to buy something whereas with Adsense all they have to do is click your ad.

It really doesn't get any more basic than that when it comes to making money online. You're either selling a product/service or promoting a product/service. The promotion side of it is much easier to most people because you're not dealing with customer satisfaction, shipping, employees, etc.
