By Rob Rawson. There are several strategies for making money onthe net. Here are some possible options: Strategy 1: Affiliatemarketing This is probably the quickest and easiest.

...s. This is a great strategybecause there are infinite possibilities for the type of productthat you can create. There are so many niche markets that youcan write about: It could be a course on Japanese gardens, Howto start your own babysitting business, How to sell yourpaintings or artwork … there are thousands of possibilities andmany that have not yet been touched by online marketers. Ofcourse you don't have to write the information yourself, you canget a ghost writer or hire someone to produce the DVD. It iseasy to find these people, for example you can go tohttp://www.profitpuppy.com/elance. By the way if you areintending to go down this track then you should definitely checkout the Bill Myers membership site(http://www.profitpuppy.com/bmyers) which has the bestinformation on this area. Strategy 3: Search EngineOptimization. Learn how to get a site to the top of the searchengines and make money on the site by promoting affiliateprograms or by Google Adsense. I have included this as abusiness method because there are some people who focus just onSearch Engine Optimization and do nothing else. Strategy 4:Drop-shipping. You can develop a relationship with amanufacturer so that you can get orders for their product on theInternet; you process their credit card and then just send theirdetails to the manufacturer who sends the product directly tothe customer's door. Strategy 5: Joint Ventures. Similar toaffiliate marketing, but with this strategy you set uprelationships with people who have products that they sellonline. Strategy 6: Lead Generation. You create sites thatgenerate leads for companies online. For example, you createleads for mortgage brokers; you give them the details of thepeople who are interested in getting a new mortgage and you getpaid for each person. The mortgage broker will then call thelead and try to sell them on their particular mortgage offer.Strategy 7: Email marketing. Of course you need to stay awayfrom spam, and new legislation makes it more difficult forlegitimate opt in email marketers, but this is still a highlyeffective way to make money on the Internet. Don't try emailmarketing if you don't know what you are doing - don't eventhink about buying a list of emails and sending out apromotional message unless you know exactly what you are doing.You have to know that any emails you have are legit and ‘optin'. Strategy 8: Selling software or software services. …Anothergreat way to make money online. Strategy 9: Selling servicesonline. For example you could start a site providing niche legalservices or doing web design. This is ok, but it is not ashighly leveraged and automated as other Internet businesses.Strategy 10: Selling your own products online. This is theoption that 90% of businesses pursue online. It also has lessleverage and is more difficult to automate than other Internetbusinesses. Strategy 11: Domain name strategies. You can makemoney buying and selling domain names (although this strategy isquite difficult nowadays). You can also buy expired domains withexisting traffic, you can buy domains with misspellings in orderto get free drive-by traffic. Strategy 12: Buying websites. Youcan buy websites that have good positions in the search enginesbut are not utilizing their positions very effectively, and youcan improve the marketing and utilization of their site and makemoney. This is a very powerful strategy if you do it correctly.Other strategies: There are many other possibilities that youmight not have thought of such starting an affiliate network.There are several other possibilities but most of them are a bitmore towards the more difficult end of the spectrum. Have athink about which strategy you want to look at. Each strategyhas advantages and disadvantages and each strategy has a lot ofstuff that you need to learn to be able to apply it effectively.http://www.profitpuppy.com
