The first question is, do you have a website? In most cases, it is easier to make money on the Internet if you have a website. Your money making prospects will improve dramatically with your own website. Purchasing your own domain name is best but, if you have absolutely NO cash to invest, there are a few alternatives.

Check with your ISP. Many of them offer free websites to their subscribers. Take advantage of this perk and set up your own site free of charge.

If your ISP does not offer a free site, do a search for free blogs. There are tons of free blogs available on the Internet. You can set up a blog and have it online in a matter of minutes. It is very easy to do. Once your blog is set up, sign up for a free account with Google Adsense and post ads on your site. This won’t make you rich (unless yours is the blog sensation of the year), but it will bring you a few dollars. After all, every little bit helps. In addition, sign up for a PayPal account and add a donation button. Using this button, people who like your blog can give you money. Several associates with popular blogs tell me that donations are among the highest revenue producers on their sites.

Another alternative is to use one of the download malls on the Internet. Sign up for free with one of these programs and they will give you a website that is all set up and ready to go. These sites provide digital products that visitors can purchase. You do not need to carry any inventory or send out products. They take care of everything for you. Your only job is to bring visitors to your site. Make sure that the program offers a tiered system. That is, when you refer someone into the program, you get a percentage of their sales. It is like developing your own affiliate program without any of the problems. You can get more information on one of these programs by using one of my links below, or by visiting my site.

With each of the methods described above, you need people to visit your site. You can do this using a variety of techniques. Personally, I write articles. Not just one or two, I submit articles everyday. Each article I write contains a resource box with two or three links to programs or products that I recommend. In addition, do a search for free ads. There are tons of them available. Submit as many free ads as you can find. Also, many ezines will allow you to place free advertising with them if you sign up as a subscriber. A search will provide you with plenty of ezines to choose from.

Lastly, I recommend that you develop your own product. This is the number one way to make money on the Internet. After developing my first product, my income soared by fifty fold. If you don’t have your own product, I suggest you commit some time to developing one. The results can be astounding.

As you begin to make money on the Internet, reinvest some of the income you are generating. Commit a portion of your profits back into your Internet business. Buy a domain name, set up an autoresponder, purchase advertising, buy information to improve your results, etc.
