People who are the least bit savvy about Internet marketing know there are plenty of scams. Unfortunately, marketers with no morals take advantage of the abundance of innocent people who are looking for the means to improve their lives by making money online. It’s sad, because millions probably get duped into spending money uneccessarily, only to chase down avenues with dead ends. Fortunately, methods abound for making money on the Internet with no money required. This will probably come as a revelation to those who have been ripped off by Internet schemes!

 

But the line between scam and just an ill-advised business opportunity can sometimes be thin. A good example of this is the recent controversy over an web business-in-a-box, called site Build It. Some people think that at least one person has created a Site Build It affiliate review that wasn’t entirely accurate. 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 most successful ways I’ve found to make money online is above-board and also fairly simple to implement. I make money writing on HubPages. HubPages — a group blogging site –  makes it quite easy to generate content-based ad revenue. The number of HubPages “hubs” you create is up to you. Each hub has the potential to make up to five forms of revenue: eBay and Amazon products and services, Google AdSense and Kontera ads, and your own affiliate link(s). Sixty percent of the impressions (page views) that generate revenue go to you and the people who own HubPages get forty percent. The exception to that would be if you implemented an affiliate program; you get one hundred percent of any income generated by someone clicking on an affiliate link. It takes a while to get good at building good hubs but in my opinion, the money 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 valuable free information. When people click on links to any of the RevResponse publications or White Papers and qualify, you get paid. That’s all there is to it. Qualifying is not a shoe-in though, so you have to understand that aspect. To learn more about the rules, read this RevResponse review. It will help you determine whether signing up is worth the time it would take to sign up.
