1) Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is a marketing practice in which a business rewards an affiliate for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. You can advertise products on your website or blog to either help sell the merchant’s products or to send potential customers to the merchant’s website. If someone buys from your affiliate link, you will receive a commission that can be of any percentage (10 percent to as high as 75 percent) from the product’s original worth or price.

If you are into Blogging niche, you can start with Web hosting affiliate programs, Thesis affiliate program and many more. I suggest you to browse CJ and clickbank marketplace, and browse the affiliate opportunities.
2) Product creation
All around the World Wide Web, people are looking for information that will help them in life or for their own online business! If you have skills, you can write an eBook or create a software but this some good programming skills (HTML, PHP,etc.). I rather find that this is the most profitable way to make money online….why? Because you can sell thousands of copies if you have a huge number of affiliates.
Your product could sell for years and years if it’s of good quality and if you market it well. However, do not expect to get rich overnight as this is a long process. You have to market your product well and promote it properly so you can start selling your products in large quantity! Though the best part about this technique is, you just need to work one time for product creation and promotion, and later on your affiliates and reseller will promote your product for affiliate income. A Blogger can start with creating an eBook and sell it on Amazon, E-junkie and many such online marketplace.
3) Blogging for Profit
Blogging is definitely one of the ways to make money online but it’s also just a hobby for many people. You can blog for fun or for money but I would suggest to blog for money if you can. To earn handsome money from your website, you have to create good content and market your blog well and you will start generating revenues.
As long as you write good content and threat your visitors well, you will start making money. The thing I like blogging is that you can sell advertising spots on your blog or build a list of hungry subscribers with it! Also, try multiple ad networks, for example: Adsense, infolinks, Buysellads, CPM ads, In-text advertising or you can use above two ideas and implement it on your blog.
Now, one thing which you need to know: Having a blog doesn”t guarantee that you will be making money, infact you need to have a proper blog business plan and pick a niche, which will be super profitable in terms of revenue. For example, finance and health are one of the top Adsense paying niche, similarly based on your interest, pick a niche which you have good command with and you can convert it into cash-cow.
