There is many ways to make money online, the most popular one by far is Affiliate Marketing.
In a nutshell, Affiliate Marketing involves marketing and selling other people's products to earn commissions. You can sell info-products as well as physical products.
If you are just getting started, I suggest you start with info-products because it is less complicated. Buyers purchase info-products through your affiliate link, you receive your commissions and then buyers download their purchases immediately to their computers. The advantage of info-products is that there is no hassle of packaging and posting products to buyers' postal addresses. Since the info-products are in digital format, buyers can download it immediately.
Affiliate marketing is very popular way to make money online because you can literally start the business on day 1 without much investment. In most cases, all you need is a domain name ($10 per year) and hosting account ($10 per month).
With all the Web 2.0 sites available on the Internet, you don't even need to register or purchase a domain name and web hosting if you don't to. You can just write and submit your promotional messages or articles to the web 2.0 sites like Squidoo.com, Hubpages.com, Gather.com, WorldVillage.com, Zimbio.com, Xomba.com, etc.
The Web 2.0 sites are high-ranking and high-traffic sites. The major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing love these sites. So, if you submit your promotional messages or articles (with your affiliate links) to these sites, your articles will rank highly on the search engines and you will get visitors. And hopefully these visitors can turn into your buyers so that you can earn commissions.
Of course, if you are serious about Affiliate Marketing business, and you want to do this business for long-term, it is better for you to have your own affiliate websites focusing on specific niche products.
