Making Money with Affiliate Links, Google Adsense and PL Content

One of the most frequently asked questions of all time is, "How
do I make money online"?

If you have been trying to make money online for even a
short while, you have undoubtedly heard quite a few names being
thrown about. It seems as if everyone sees themselves as an
expert and everyone who is anyone knows everyone else who is
someone. It is like a marketing guru clique. And they make you
think that if you do not know somebody, you will always be a
nobody.

You have probably encountered product launches, audio and video
streaming, teleseminars, and joint ventures, etc. The gurus that
are selling these products and services are making money hand
over fist. In all fairness, these products and services are
genuine and valuable to the folks who buy them.

But what most of them will not tell you is that there are
thousands of people on the Internet making thousands of dollars a
month without spending a lot of money. They do not fly to every
seminar in the country just to make contacts. They rarely do
joint ventures, because frankly, no one knows who they are. They
literally sit in front of their computers in their underwear,
click a few links, and wait for the money to roll in.

How do they do it? Affiliate links, Google Adsense, and content.

Take Google Adsense, for instance. Search engines love good
content, the more, the better.

When you create multiple content pages on your website, the
search engine spiders crawl the site, then follow each link to
more content, which helps raise your rankings.

How does this make you money? By placing Adsense ads on every
page. As readers click through your pages, many will also click
the Adsense links. Every time they do, you make a commission from
Google. It can be anywhere from a few cents to several dollars.

They do not have to buy anything. Just clicking the link makes
you money. The more people you drive to your site, the more
people will click the links, and the more money you will make.

Now all you need is content. If you are a good writer, you can
write your own. But most of us are not.

One option would be to use articles written by others. Go to any
of the popular article directories and you will find thousands of
articles. Most can used free of charge as long as you include the
resource box with each article. Since you are not promoting your
own product, this is a very viable option.

The major downside to using other peoples articles is that the
reader will view them as the expert and likely click the link in
the resource box instead of the Adsense links, and you lose
money.

However, the best option is Private Label Rights articles. Just a
little editing can turn these articles into your own creation.
The reader will view you as the expert, since you are not
competing with another writer.

You can also include your own resource box with a link to an
affiliate program, so whether they click the Adsense links or
your affiliate link, you have increased your chances of making
money. And you have done it without a single product of your
own.

Making money online is not as difficult as some would
have you believe. As with any business, give the people what they
want and they will keep coming back.
