Top 11 Online Money Making Methods

One of the fastest ways to make money online is through Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising. PPC is an internet advertising model where advertisers pay their host when their ad is clicked. The sponsored links at the bottom of this page are an example of this.

Thanks to the advent of advertising products such as Google AdSense and Yahoo Content Match, it is easy to monetise online traffic (visitor) streams. All you need is some content that attracts traffic. This is usually done through a website that provides unique and insighful information to the user.

The reason why PPC advertising is number 2 on our list is because once you have good content that attracts traffic, PPC advertising is easy to set up and it takes very little ongoing management. Furthermore, PPC hosts such as Google quickly log the clicks on your ads allowing you to easily see on a day-to-day basis how much you have made.

As mentioned above, PPC advertising is most commonly used on websites.
If you don’t have your own website already, you should consider building
one in order to generate money via PPC. A website is easier to create than
a lot of people think and the costs are relatively low.
