How Do I Make Money On the Internet?

I've always been a big believer in earning money from various sources online, so how do I make money from the internet?

At the moment there are three main sources, but each source is made up of smaller income streams that come from different places. The 3 are:

  1. Selling eBooks
  2. Writing content for clients
  3. Affiliate marketing

I've more recently got into composing and producing music for the music licensing market (as in, TV, film, video game music etc.). So far this new endeavour hasn't produced any income, but it's fun to do.

eBooks

eBooks have been a very passive source on ongoing income for me for years now and I highly encourage anyone who wants to write and sell eBooks to give it a try. They don't even have to be long, so don't think you have to write hundreds of pages. Some of the best selling eBooks have been less than 50 pages, some only around 20 pages or so. Just depends on the subject matter. Once they are out there they are there indefinitely, selling for years to come.

Writing for Clients

This is something I do on and off, writing web content and blog posts for clients, usually through a third party such as web design and SEO companies. It can be pretty boring, and they don't pay as much as I think they should, but sometimes it's consistent work and money when you need it.

Affiliate Marketing

This is almost like the perfect accompaniment to the eBooks, as every piece of content you put up on your website (or even here on the WA platform), can generate leads and sales for years to come. There are just so many different avenues you can go with affiliate marketing and so many different sources from which you can draw an income, that the income potential could be anything. There is certainly no glass ceiling when it comes to this business.

Thanks for sharing!!

I agree. Join for free. If the shoe doesn't fit, try another one.

I've dabbled in writing content for others last year. I made some money with it, but kind of lost interest. I might give it a try again sometime in the future, but for right now, my main focus is affiliate marketing. I would one day like to write an ebook though so that is something I've got as a future goal.

All great reasons Darren. thanks!

Thanks for this.

very good of information you have got here, i have been wondering are we here just to write an English composition for the blogs and content or are we here to make money, i did not find the answer yet until you have clarify it to and it make sense.
but the majority are here to make money and to do that we have to go into a lot of difficulties of internet issues xml site map and widgets and many more thing i personally heared for the very first time, I am not going to give up but I feel i am stuck some times for
silly thing and not going smooth with new technology of the computer world.

That's all shown in Kyle's training. If you get stuck, just ask questions of the community and someone will provide the answer you need.

..I have been thinking about eBooks and would like to know where I can sell them, apart from Kindle?

You can sell them on Apple iBooks, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, or go through an aggregator like Smashwords or Draft2Digital that will distribute them for you to a multitude of sellers.

Thank you!

Never heard of Draft2Digital

All good strategies

Cool!
