People ask me all the time how they can really make money online. My answer? Spend some time learning how the internet business works. First of all, making money online is one simple system: helping other companies and products gain more exposure. The way I look at the internet, there are 3 bases to making money on the internet: selling products, helping others advertise their products, and referring others to those products. That’s where selling, advertising, and referring can make people and business some extra income.
Selling Products
OK, so you got your idea or product finally finished. Now what? You sell it! This is the easiest way that a company or individual can make money online or offline. Meanwhile, sites like eBay give users an easy way to create their own business. Even without their own products users can sell their “trash”, which is another user’s “treasure”. Anyway, since selling is self-explanatory, there’s no need for me to go over what it’s about, so let’s move on.
Advertisements
Websites can make easy money through a simple system: advertisements. Through advertisements, they help companies gain exposure with their products. Whether it’s through banners, text-links, reviews, or PPC (Google AdSense for example), a website can get paid through advertisements. Just like how tv stations make money by commercials, these types of advertisements are the base to making money.
Affiliate Marketing
Ahhh. Surely you would know what I’m talking about. Many money-making services not only help you make money through their main system, but also by referring others to sign up with them. That’s why referrals are connected to advertisements, which are then connected to products/services. That’s why internet services would pay you to refer others because they make money from your referrals as well. Since you’re helping the companies gain more exposure by referring others, it could be a simple way to make an extra income.
So is that where it ends? For those that know more and have a better insight about making money online, you know that there is surely many more ways to earn money on the internet (legally). Selling, advertising, and referring are not the only ways to make an extra income, but they are just simply the base of the pyramid.

I think there is nothing wrong with bloggers who blog about blogging at all. Take a look about CopyBlogger.

Making money online is all about getting with a good group of network marketers selling a good product. Once you take that step, you are taught how to generate traffic and build your own network. When you get to this point, traffic is no longer an issue because your downline generates all the hits you need. It’s pretty simple but you can’t do it alone, you need a team of marketers to help you learn and grow, that’s all there is to it. Click on my name for a free ebook that goes into detail about this.

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

All the above will work as long as you get the traffic. With most “Good” websites only converting 1 to 2% you need a hell of a lot of traffic to make good money.
Plus you need to be able to pick your niches oherwise you can go around in ever decreasing circles.
Great to read others thoughts.
