How to Make Money on the Internet and Keep Your Integrity Intact
People who are the least bit savvy about Web marketing know scams abound, no matter where you look. Unfortunately, unscrupulous marketers feed on the multitudes of inexperienced people who are looking for better lives. It’s sad, because millions of people probably spend money and lose a lot of time, only to get involved with scams or at least bad business ideas that line the marketers’ pockets and leave the buyers with nothing. Thankfully, methods abound for making money on the Internet with no up-front investment. This will probably come as a revelation to those who have been ripped off by Web schemes!
But the line between scam and just an ill-advised business opportunity can sometimes be thin. An example of this is the controversy over an Internet business opportunity named Site Build It. Some people think that at least one person has written a Site Build It affiliate review that was misleading. The owner stepped forward to defend himself and he could be totally right. But it’s up to every individual to do their own research before paying money for Internet “opportunities”.
One of the ways I make money on the Web is above-board and also fairly simple to implement. I make money writing using HubPages. HubPages — a group blogging site — makes it so simple to create content and generate ad revenue. How many content “hubs” you create is up to you. Each hub you create can make up to five types of revenue: Google AdSense, Kontera in-text ads, Amazon products, eBay auction items and any affiliate program you want to implement. Sixty percent of the impressions (page views) that generate revenue go to you and HubPages gets the other 40 percent. Affiliate programs are an exception to that rule though; One hundred percent of income generated by click-throughs from an affiliate link on a hub would belong to you. Writing good hubs takes a bit of practice but in my opinion, the revenue you can earn over time makes it worth the effort.
One of the affiliate programs I like to use on my hubs is RevResponse, because people who sign up get credible free information. When anyone clicks on your links and qualifies to receive free RevResponse publications or white papers, you make money. It’s just that easy. Qualifying is not a shoe-in though, so that aspect is important to understand. To learn more about the rules, check out this affiliate marketing review. The information in the review will help you know whether RevResponse is right for your readers.
