People who I dont’ know are always asking, “What’s your secret to making extra money online?” It’s not as hard as some people would have you believe. Don’t think it will be a walk in the park, because it does take patience and effort. The lack of effort is a big reason most people fail at making money online. They want to start one day and be an instant millionaire the next day. It just isn’t going to happen. Most websites take at least a year before they start really making money. And that’s if you really know what you’re doing.

If I had to start all over, here are the 3 ways I’d get back on my feet.

Sell websites. Domains cost $10 per year. Domain names with keywords in them are the most valuable. To begin with, I’d find a good reselling hosting account to host all of the domains. Then put up at least 5 keyword rich articles on each blog. More is better. The most profitable way to make money quick is to get these websites ranking and then sell them for a profit. This is how you can make money on the Internet with websites.

Freelance consultant. Freelancing was what really got me up off my feet and I still do it from time to time. There just too much mone in it! Freelance writing is hot right now and many people are getting into it. Just about any Internet Marketing forum you visit will have people looking to hire freelance writers. And you don’t have to be an English major to make money at this! All you have to do is be able to put a sentence together so that everyone will understand it.

Use article marketing and affiliate programs. Another way that I’ve used to make a lot of money online is Article Marketing. I used article marketing, affiliate programs and product reviews for over a year and found out first hand how profitable they were when used together. I had a huge network of product review sites that paid me constantly. Once I wrote a review, I then started building backlinks to it with article marketing. Each has my affiliate link in the review and people routinely would use it to buy merchandise from my review page. When they did, I made money.
