Internet Marketing is another way in which you can make passive income online. Internet Marketers are able to convert their own websites into money-making machines that are able to generate anything from $1 to more than $1000 a day!

I won't attempt to fool you and say Internet Marketing is easy. It isn't. It takes a lot of time and effort but the rewards are definitely worth it.

"So how do Internet Marketers make money from websites?"

Internet Marketers are able to make money from a variety of different ways but the most successful will utilise:

1. Google's Adsense and other Pay per click programs (i.e Yahoo! Publisher)

2. Affiliate programs

3. Selling their own product (This could be their own eBook or software)

Google's Adsense and other pay per click programs pay you an amount of money(usually around 20c) for every click on their ads. With one Adsense account, you can put the adsense code they provide you with, on all of your sites. To put this into perspective, imagine you recieved just 2 clicks a day for one month on one of your sites, this would generate $12 in one month. Ok, so its not a great amount. But how about if you had 10 sites? This figure would turn into $120! What about 100 sites? .....yes, thats $1200 a

Affiliate programs are also popular among Internet Marketers. This is because affililate programs mean that the Internet Marketer does not have to actually stock the product. All they do is help their affiliate sell their products for a cut in commission everytime they make a sale.

Another way to make money is to for Internet Marketers to sell their own product. This is usually their own eBook or their own software (sometimes they will out-source a programmer to design a program for them). The advantage of selling your own product is that you get to keep all of the money made from sales.
