Make Money Online For Beginners
I have said several times on this blog already that the best way to make money online for beginners is through Ads Marketing and Affiliate Marketing.
Ads Marketing - You allocate a certain portion of your website to display advertisements from other people/companies and you get paid in return.
Affiliate Marketing - You promote other people’s products and services and in return you get commissions. The commissions you get can be in the form of pay-per-sale or pay-per-lead.
The other method of making money online, which is through creating and marketing your own products and services (which I call Product Creation), is not suitable for beginners who are just getting started to learn the ropes of making money online. I don’t recommend beginners go this route.
Why?
Because creating your own products is no easy task for beginners, while at the same it’s not as difficult as it seems if you have some kind of previous Internet Marketing experience.
If a beginner were to jump straight in creating his own product without any kind of Internet Marketing knowledge, there is a high chance that he will fail to make even a single red cent.
Heck, even if he tries his hands at Ads or Affiliate Marketing there is already a high chance that he will NOT make it. Let alone creating his own product!
I’m not saying this to discourage any beginner who’s reading this. I just want to paint a more accurate picture in their minds that making money online is very, very hard.
The good news is that once you’ve managed to earn your first elusive $1, the next $10 becomes easier. My FREE report shows you how to earn your first $100 online. If you haven’t had a chance to grab it yet, I recommend that you do so now. 
Once you’ve made your first $100, your confidence will grow. You will start believing in yourself - that you possess the ability to earn money online. You will then put in more effort and time because what you did has already proven to bring in results.
As you continue to earn more and more money, your confidence grows even bigger, which will result in you taking yet more action to produce greater results. This is like a cycle of continuous improvement.
The converse, however, is also true.
If you’ve been going around in circles trying to make money online but have never made a single dime, you confidence will get smaller and smaller as time passes by. You start to wonder if everything you’re doing is worth it. You start to question your ability to really and truthfully make money from the Internet.
A few months passed and you still see no results at all. Your confidence shrinks even further and you take even less action.
Eventually you give up and you conclude that making money online is impossible and is only a scam. 
Is this story familiar?
It certainly is for me because I’ve spent a total of 11 months before I earn my first money online. June 2006 I first got started in Internet Marketing. May 2007 I received my first paycheck.
Can you imagine the thrill and excitement I felt at that time? I was close to tears LOL! If you’ve already received your first paycheck, I’m sure you can relate to my feelings. That was a moment I can never forget for the rest of my life!
Now, coming back to the topic at hand….
If you’re a beginner reading this, my advice is to start with Ads and Affiliate Marketing first. Beginners Blog Profits shows you how to set up your own WordPress blog step-by-step (I do really mean step-by-step) and generate income through Ads and Affiliate Marketing from your blog.
After you’ve made some money this way, you can then start creating your own products as this is where you can make the most money. Instant Product System shows you how to instantly create your own sizzling, high quality information product in 1 day or less.
To make money online for beginners and intermediate marketers alike, the key is to always take CONSISTENT action every single day. 
The next action you need to take is to REPLACE YOUR JOB FAST with an Internet business.

Good post and you are right once you make the first $100 all you have to do is the same thing you did again and improve as you go along so the $100s come in faster.
Thanks

Yea that is good advice. Once you get the ball rolling, it gets easier.

As for me, freelancing is the easiest way to make money online. Of course you need to have some skills such as programming or designing but it is not a problem is you are really serious about making living online.

It can be difficult for beginners to make money with affiliate marketing since they need to learn SEO first or have some money upfront to invest PPC. But once you learn it, it is a great money maker, great post by the way.

Very encouraging post, I wish I had seen it when I was just starting out! Great advice for the beginner - I also chose the affiliate marketing route and haven’t looked back! It’s a great way to earn some extra residual income each month and I love that I can choose to do it full time or part time, it’s up to each person individually. It’s great to have choices!

@Everyone above: Glad you liked this post. Watch out for more!

This is a good blog and that’s not meant to patronize you. Too many people offer get rich schemes which always fail.
The first step on any online business is to make that first dollar, then a hundred, then a living. All solid businesses are built from that first dollar.

Nice tips. Good for beginners. But I think, for beginners, first thing first is to learn about SEO because the most important thing is to drive traffics. No traffics equal to no revenue.

i like the concept i hope it works for me too .
but where do i find people to put ads on my site?
i guess they will reach me by their own .

Thanks for the tip! People shouldn’t give up quickly once they tried making money online, yes it’s quite tiring and boring for some, but it gives that rewarding feeling after finishing the online job for the day.

You have given a perfect motivation for the beginners.Thank you for your valuable tips… keep doing this great job.

Keep up the good work. Very informative post.
July 24th, 2009 at 3:27 am
Loving the post…
I’ve been making some money online for sometime now and I couldn’t agree with you more about choosing affiliate marketing or “ads marketing”.
This is the way to go. You got a new rss sub. Keep the quality coming.

I think you have a great business opportunity my main
concern is the hidden additional cost? In just about
every online opportunity I’ve encountered, advertising
in some sort or fashion is required. List building and
traffic exchanges. Is there an easier way?
August 13th, 2009 at 11:19 am
@Elizabeth: This is a REAL business, so operational costs or advertising/marketing costs are inevitable. You can choose not to invest in advertising/marketing expenses when you’re just starting out. However, if you want to make it big, then do consider investing your profits into your business.

I agree with you that it’s not easy to make money online, especially in the beginning. My first months gave me only $1 or even cents a month. I’m glad I went through them though.
September 3rd, 2009 at 5:05 pm
We just keep saying the same thing.
Either build lots of rubbish sites and try and build faster than knocked down (yawn) or build good sites for advertisng and selling puposes.
NOTHING Beats good sites and good organic SEO.

I don’t think anyone makes huge amounts of money in the first months. You have to have a few good ideas and stick with them. Keep building content and links.
If you keep at it your site will become popluar and make money.
October 18th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
Great article, I can toatally relate!
but I have to tell beginners be consistent it pays of in the long run! and is more than worth it!
kind regards!
October 19th, 2009 at 1:18 am
You’re absolutely right. You can make money with a good site and relevant back links but you have to put in the time and effort if you want to make it a success!

i Make money online using the very popular Google Adsense program. i also tried Amazon affiliate program but i dont earn that much from amazon.
October 26th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
I agree - with Google Adsense, link building, article marketing, and all of the various known methods of generating traffic these days, this makes CPA marketing THE single fastest way to earn a fast income on the internet.
November 1st, 2009 at 11:19 pm
i Make Money Online by using Adsense and Adbrite on my blogs and websites. i am earning a decent amount of money online but it also requires a lot of work to build traffic.
November 28th, 2009 at 7:14 am
great article. It’s tough to make money online just as you said and not giving up is even tougher. this is probably the first real blog I’ve read that tells it like it is. you won’t make a lot of money on the internet over night it takes hard work just like with anything else.
December 3rd, 2009 at 11:04 am
Thank you so much for giving this opportunity. I found this imformation very useful. Thankyou once again

I’ve done both ad marketing and affiliate marketing. I’m currently using ad marketing on one of my websites, using Google AdSense. I plan to start affiliate marketing again soon.
If you really get into affiliate marketing like the hardcore marketers do, you could be making a six figure income, no problem. It takes a lot of work to start making money online, but once it starts to come in, everything is pretty much on autopilot.
December 30th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Making Money Online is easy if you have a website that have lots of traffic. You can just sign-up with Adsense, Adbrite or Clickbank and start earning cash. **
December 30th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
Pretty much all my friends are willing to take a shot at making fast and easy money online these days, either through eBay Powerselling, affiliate marketing, ppc networks
January 9th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
i also want to make money online that is why i immediately joined the google adsense program and also read a lot about making money on websites and blogs. i am also trying to learn affiliate marketing.
February 4th, 2010 at 10:47 pm
It is a bit easy to make money online if you know how to get lots and lots of visitors on your website and if you have very good content on your website. you can use adsense, adbrite or infolinks.
