The Myth Of It Takes Money To Make Money Online


We have all heard the saying it takes money to make money and in the real world that is very true, but in the online world it’s not necessarily so. Making money online is much different than making money in the real world.

In the real world you may need office space, products that you must have on hand, gas for transportation here and there and a host of other things that will cost you money. Where as in order to earn money on the Internet your only expenses need to be a computer and an Internet connection and actually those expenses aren’t necessary if you have a friend that will let you use their Internet connected computer for a few hours a day or you can use the computers at the library.

A lot of people either come to the online money making business thinking it’s going to cost them money to get started or the reject the idea because they think it’s going to cost them. The fact of the matter is you can earn a decent income online and it never has to cost you a dime. Do some research on setting up websites and doing promotions and then just get started. Lets look at some things you can do to earn money online for free.

Affiliate Marketing
You can join affiliate programs like ClickBank, Amazon and Commission Junction for free. Choose some products from these programs to promote, setup some websites and blogs to place the products and start promoting them.

Now you’re probably saying to yourself that it cost money to have a website. Well, no it doesn’t. You can setup as many websites as you want at Weebly absolutely free. You can setup your blogs for free at Blogger. Other places you can promote your affiliate products are Squidoo and Hub Pages both free to join.

And no, promoting won’t cost you a cent either. You can promote your sites by commenting on other blogs and forums that are related to your products. You can write articles related to the products and submit them to article directories with a link to your sites in the resource section. Bookmark your sites at social bookmarking sites. Talk about your sites on Myspace, Facebook and Twitter. All of these things are free to do.

Create and Sell Your Own Merchandise
Did you know you could be making money online creating and selling your own merchandise like t-shirts, key chains, tote bags and other things and it won’t cost you anything? I talked about this in my post Making Money Online Selling Stuff You Don’t Have and in More Ways Of Making Money Online At Finerworks. If you check those posts you’ll get an idea of what I’m talking about here.

As far as promoting your merchandise you can use the same techniques I mentioned above.

Adsense Marketing
With Adsense marketing you create niche websites strictly for the purpose of making money from Google Adsense ads. All you do is choose a keyword or phrase to build your site around, place you Adsense ads on each page, get traffic to the website and hope you get lots of clicks. You want to try to choose high paying keywords to build your sites on.

If you use Weebly to build your sites and use the promotion techniques I mentioned it you won’t have to spend any money and you stand to make some good change.

As you can see unlike in the real world when it comes to making money online it really doesn’t take money to make money.
