Ways to Make Money Online

Many people today are looking for ways to make money online. There are many different options, but in this article, I want to address the idea of running a membership site.

There are some basic categories that memberships site fall into.

Coaching/Mentoring - this type of site is usually centered around a main topic/theme. Tips, help, insight and support are given to its members. There are different types of coaches, such as life, business, fitness and personal coaches. Members pay a monthly fee in order to receive this insight and support.

Content - this type of site provides information and resources to its members. It is also centered around a certain topic or problem. The information that is offered should be unique and not able to be easily located somewhere else. Members pay a monthly fee in order to have access to this information.

Message Board or Forum - this type of site requires a payment before you can post or have access to other benefits of the forum, such as a search. These sites are a little trickier to make successful due to the amount of free information that is on the internet. The owner of the site would need to offer information that could not be readily found elsewhere for free. Fees charged for this type of site are usually low.

Content Delivered via Audio - this type of membership site delivers your content to members or is posted on your website as audio files. Information can be provided on a variety of topics that can then be used as content on other membership sites. An example of business to business marketing.

Paid Newsletter - the owner of a paid newsletter membership site needs to research and provide news and information from different sources that can be easily accessed in one place (the newsletter) by its members. The information would be relevant to a particular topic and the members would pay a fee to receive this information.

You can also integrate several of these ideas into one membership site. A content site can have a members only forum and a paid newsletter offered with a monthly audio bonus (members would pay extra to receive the audio file.) You would charge a slightly higher membership fee if you offering more than one type of membership.

As you can see, there are legitimate ways to make money online. Consider the ways discussed and see if you would be a fit to offer any of these types of membership sites.

Can You Really Make Money With Residual Income Affiliate Program?

We know that affiliate marketing is the easiest way to make money on the Internet. As an affiliate, you do not have to create your own products. After joining a certain company offering affiliate programs, you can potentially make money right away. However, understanding different kind of programs and choosing the right programs to promote is critical, as this can make or break your affiliate marketing career.

In affiliate marketing business, there are three different types of affiliate programs:

1. Program that pays you based on every sale or lead. Majority programs available in the market are this type. The merchant will pay you one time commission on every sale or lead you brought to their website. The commissions usually are quite big, arranging from twenty percent to as high as seventy five percent.

2. Program that pays you based on every click. In this case, you will be paid for every click through or traffic you send to the merchant's website. They usually pay a set small commission. The benefit of this program is that you will be paid without any of visitors you are sending need to make any purchase.

3. Program that pays you reoccurring commission for every sale. Compare to the other type of programs, residual income affiliate program usually pay a smaller rate. However, the merchant will pay you on a regular basis for a single initiated sale. That means for one effort, you will get compensated a set and continuing commission.

Many affiliate networks offer reoccurring commission programs. Typically, these programs offer their customers continuous service. This can be membership sites, web hosting sites, auto responder sites and so fort. Customers pay monthly to use their services. As an affiliate, the merchant will keep paying you, for as long as the customers you are referring keep paying their monthly dues. This is the beauty of a residual income affiliate program.

Because of high commission rate, many affiliate marketers attracted to promote one-time high commission programs. You can make good income from these programs if you can generate continuous sales. On the other hand, a good well managed pay per click campaign can be operates on an automatic pilot by itself. On the other hand, there is residual income affiliate program that will generate continuous income for long period. You can really make good income in the long run in affiliate marketing if you promote the combination of these programs.

To reach your goal in affiliate marketing, you need to make a business plan that will be useful as a blue print to run your business. With this plan, you will be able to determine what kind of programs suit you the best, weighing the pros and cons of each type. In addition, you can arrange your business to reach the goal you want to achieve in a timely manner.
