Do You Need A Website To Make Money Online?

When you think about making money online you think about websites, where people go and buy stuff. The person/company that owns the website makes money for sure.

Do you really need a website to make money online?

A website would be the ideal thing to have as an internet/affiliate marketer and is a must at some point if you are serious about making money online but...

You DO NOT need a website to make money online.

Affiliate marketing is one of the best businesses to be in as it allows you to start with little to no expenses. And this means that you do not have to worry about paying someone to make a website for you or spend countless hours trying to build one.

With affiliate marketing, the websites are provided for you already in the form of merchant companies who pay you a percentage of the money they make. All you have to do is send people to their websites and all you need to do that is a special link which is provided by the merchant themselves.

The next worry is where do you put the link so people can get to the merchant website in order for you to be paid.

Again, your own website would be the ideal thing but you do not need one.

There are lots of places online where you can submit your affiliate link but you have to do it in a way that will be attractive to potential users (people who will buy through your link). Writing articles, participating in forums, classified ad sites, your social networking profile and blogs are some of the places you can use to make up for not having a website.

You concerns about making money online can be solved, and most times as in this case you'll get the answer that you want. You can make money online without a website.

My 7 day course outlines some ways you can start making money online without a website so make sure you do sign up.

What's The Most Important Reason Why You Want To Make Money Online?

People have different reasons why they want to make money online. (If you haven't taken the poll, take a second to vote on your right)

For me, it was because I didn't go to college, nor did I want to...I hated school although I did get good grades. I was working a good job for a reasonable good pay but it wasn't enough to deal with the bills and stuff that I wanted so I had to find a way to supplement my income.

The most important reason though is that I wanted to find something that I could dedicate my life to and I think internet marketing did that for me. Almost every single day for 2 whole years I just had to get on the computer to try to build my future.

For others, I know some people want to:

• Quit their jobs - you're just not independent when you have a boss.


• Work from home - goodbye alarm clock, goodbye morning commute/rush hour.


• Pay for college - college students have it tough these days...they need the money


• Have some extra money - some people just want an extra $200 - $300 month...thats it.


• Pay off debts - bills, bills, bills...sure could use some help.

Whats the most important reason why you want to make money online? Tell me about it...

How To Make Money Using The Internet

Its the world biggest marketplace - the internet.

There are lots of ways to make money online - where there's a service, product or the need for information there is the opportunity to make money.

Some of the ways to earn money online include:

1. Affiliate Marketing - this is my favorite and I'm actively involved in this type of business. Affiliate marketing has helped thousands of ordinary people quit their day jobs and earn a full time income from home. Its also produced millionaires and is probably the easiest way to set up a business from home with little or no start up cost.

2. Ebay Sales - More than one third of the money made online every year is made on ebay. Ebay is an online auction site where you can set up your own store and sell anything at all from the stuff you have at home that you don't want to brand new items that are hot and in demand.


3. Web Design - There's big demand for talented web designers since the face of any online business is a website. A nicely designed website can mean the difference between making no money online and making thousands. Web designers usually get paid from $500 - $5000 per website and even more.


4. Freelance Jobs - If you're good at something, then your services might be needed online. Some companies and online businesses need work done probably because they cant do it themselves or need to outsource the work so they can have time to do something else. Advertisers post jobs and you bid on them in a marketplace. The advertiser selects a winning bid and that person is paid when the job is completed. Web design, article writing, proof reading and data entry are some examples of jobs available at freelance sites.


5. Get Paid To Write - Websites need content and one of latest ways to make money using the internet is to submit content to websites. This comes in the form of writing short articles and even uploading photos and videos after creating a profile. Sites like Helium and Associated Content pay you for submitting articles.


6. Revenue Sharing - Some sites also pay you for participating on their website and will share revenue with you once you set up an account with a third party site that they use to display ads on their site. Adsense revenue sharing is one such example and there are lots of sites now sharing revenue with their members.


7. Selling Your Own Product or Service - If you have a product or service that could be particularly useful to a group of people then you can set up a website with an online payment processor and sell your product. Lots of people are making good money selling ebooks and software online. These are popular because they are instantly downloadable.

These are just 7 of the ways you can make money using the internet from home. There are more ways but these are by far the most popular. Be careful though, not every one is honest and there are a lot of scams out there. If you don't do the proper research you could end up disappointed.

Hopefully that doesnt' happen to you.
