Money Making Schemes

I’m Joe Average, I don’t have any marketing qualifications but thanks to the internet and the huge number of money making schemes available I regularly earn more than $7000 a month (some months much much more) with very little effort. This page is all about the money making schemes I use to generate that income, in case you’re interested these are my top 3 earners at the moment:-

1. Adsense
2. Click Cash
3. Kontera

There are literally hundreds of money making schemes out there on the internet, the problem is finding those that work best. Listed below are the products and methods I use to make money, some require that you have a website others require little more than your time. There are others I use as well but each of those below consistently earn me at least a 3 figure income each month, several much much more.

Traditional Money Making Schemes

Google Adsense
What can I say about Adsense that hasn’t already been said? Nothing. Adsense allows you to show relevant ads on your web pages, you’ll either be paid each time one of these ads is clicked on or with some adverts each time they are shown. Adsense is the easiest way of making money online, it is not the best however. Don’t expect to become rich with Adsense unless you have huge amounts of traffic. If you’re looking for a simple solution and a way of making “some” money from your websites then you can’t go wrong with Adsense.

TrialPay
Ever since I discovered TrialPay it has been my favourite money making scheme. If you have any form of product or service either virtual or real (Software, E-Book, Template Design) that you are giving away for free (or even selling) then you can benefit by using TrialPay. What they offer is a service that allows you to give your products away for free BUT for you to get paid by an advertising partner if your user agrees to accept an offer from them. Most of these offers are completely free ensuring that your user still pays nothing but you get paid. It can either be used to monetise something that is free or even as an alternative payment method for something that you are currently selling. The only concern that I’ve heard from potential TrialPay merchants is that they worry if the money they can earn will be worth the trouble of setting it up? The actual setup process takes less than 10 minutes per product, on average I earn over $25 per transaction with TrialPay and in only a few months have made many thousands of dollars that I would otherwise not have. If you don’t have a product then you can sign up but promote other peoples products instead, there are currently over 70 available and you’ll receive a percentage for each offer accepted (on average around 50%)

Kontera
Kontera in-text advertising is a great way of adding another source of income for people with websites. Kontera double underline words within your page content and provide a pop-up advert when the visitor hovers over it. Whilst I wouldn’t recommend Kontera as a sole source of income it can be a subtle way of adding to your other advertising income, it works especially well on mainly text pages such as on forum websites. There is a great divide in the webmaster community about this form of advertising, some would argue that it is very intrusive and interrupts the user experience. In my experience the only people who I have ever heard complain about this type of advertising are webmasters themselves, people who generally don’t like any advertising on websites. On the websites on which I run Kontera they account for 50% of all advertising income.

NeverBlueAds
Never Blue Ads is an affiliate network that allows you to promote a range of exclusive offers for a commission percentage. The amount per transaction with NBA is generally high (above $20) and even better many offers do not even require that you have a website. E-mail and PPC search promotion are both actively encouraged with NBA so for those of you new to affiliate marketing you could do much worse than give them a go. If you do have a website then subtle links to NBA products with your page content can pay large rewards.

Text Links Ads
You can make money with Text Links Ads in 2 ways. The first and perhaps traditional way is to sell links from your own website(s). If you’ve got a popular (in terms of the search engines and visitor numbers) website then it’s possible to sell links netting as much as $100 and even more per link. If you run a blog you can also benefit by selling post level links as well, meaning that as you create new content you are automatically creating new advertising opportunities. Of course you can also buy links from TLA, if you’re looking to improve your exposure then there are few better ways than taking advantage of the TLA $100 in free ads offer when you sign-up for a new account.

The second method of making money with TLA is a little more subtle and doesn’t require that you have a website. As mentioned above you can buy links on various very popular websites with TLA. There is nothing to stop you using these bought links to promote affiliate deals from the likes of ClickBank, Click Cash, Never Blue Ads and Commission Junction. Because of the fixed monthly costs of a TLA link this can be a great way of making some money online.

Click Cash
Click Cash is the affiliate for iFriends an online dating/adult friends website. Whilst this might appear at first to be a very small market they offer many creative’s that you can show on your more general websites. In my experience they work well on general personal blog style websites. Perhaps the best thing about Click Cash is the payout, they’ll pay you $80 for each free sign-up you can get them plus a $50 bonus just for signing up as an affiliate That’s a huge chunk of cash.

Build A Niche Store (BANS)
If you’ve ever experimented with niche marketing then you’ll know what a gold mine it can be. Niche marketing works best when you create a small highly targeted website (for example maybe about 1 breed of dog) and then use it to show adverts or promote affiliate deals. What BANS does is allow you to add yet another source of income, it is an almost entirely automated system that builds a complete store front based on e-bay products. Get yourself an e-bay affiliate account through Commission Junction and away you go. Don’t have a website? The BANS system is also flexible enough to allow you to make your BANS store your entire website with the ability to ad static content and much more, all you need is a domain and some hosting. BANS is your ideal introduction to niche marketing, I use it on several of my websites and BANS has never failed to deliver.

More Unusual Money Making Schemes

Online Surveys
Often overlooked as a money making scheme but there is real money to be made with Online Surveys. Get yourself a list of survey companies, sign up with a few and it really is easy money. This is something that I still do during my spare time because at a rate of £20 ($40) per hour for even my slack approach it’s very much worth while. The more surveys you do the more you earn, it’s as simple as that. In order to make money with Online Surveys you’ll need nothing more than an e-mail account (a throw away free one is best) some spare time and an opinion. It’s so easy I’ve even got the wife doing it

Football (Soccer) Betting
You’ve got to be kidding me right? What if I told you I was regularly making more than $400 a week with this method with very little risk? Last November I was looking for an affiliate deal to promote on one of my football websites when I came across some gambling plan on ClickBank. Having worked for an online bookmaker I knew for a fact that many of our biggest punters were system betters and that over time they never lost. In fact because of the number of system gamblers from the Far East we attracted it was and is the only bookmakers I’ve ever known that made a loss each year! As I would never promote anything that I wouldn’t buy myself I splashed out the $80 to give it a go. Sticking to the method and going with his tips I’ve made money, quite a lot of it actually.
