The ever growing popularity of the Internet has made it possible to make money in many different ways.

One method is by using affiliate programs and there are four main areas we need to consider.

1. Pay Per Play

This is a fairly new concept, but you place advertising script on your webpage that plays an ad every time someone opens a page. The ad is designed to match the theme of the webpage so the listener will be able to briefly hear a promotion from an advertiser. You earn a small commission every time an ad plays.

There is nothing too complicated about pay per play and this type of program is good for webmasters with large websites and blogs that get a lot of traffic.

2. Pay Per Sale

You earn commissions with this type of program every time somebody buys a product from your affiliate website address. Or you can place what's known as affiliate links within the text on various different pages of your website and when someone clicks on one of those they will be taken to your affiliate page where they can purchase one of your products.

This is more difficult than some of the other methods purely because you are asking the visitor to spend money but, done right, it has the potential to earn huge sums.

The most successful affiliate marketers sell products that relate to a specific, targeted niche. Niche marketing has become popular as search engines strive to narrow down broad-based theme websites.

3. Pay Per Lead

When a customer fills out a lead form on your website you are paid for that action by the affiliate merchant. This can be as little as a few pennies to as high as several dollars per lead. Real estate companies will even pay higher than that. You can also supply leads to industries such as mortgage brokers and home improvements.

4. Pay Per Click

This form of affiliate marketing that has been dominated over the years by Google Adsense. By joining the Adsense affiliate program you are then able to place script on your webpages that will bring up ads that match the meta tags for that page.

Every time someone clicks on one of those pages you earn a small commission. This is a very easy way to make money because nothing is required of you once you get everything properly set up. Other pay per click affiliate programs include 7search, SearchFeed, Yahoo Marketing, Bidvertiser and others.

As I mentioned above, many successful affiliates use niche marketing as their main technique and an example of a niche market would be deep sea fishing.

Fishing would be the broad theme for the website but deep-sea fishing narrows things down to a more specific and targeted group of people.

You could even narrow it down further by choosing a popular type of deep sea fishing and target people that enter certain tournaments associated with it.

As an affiliate marketer, you would make money selling products that included everything about deep sea fishing such as where to fish, how to fish, when to fish, what reels to use, what bait works best for specific types of fish etc.

You can even start a blog and document fishing trips you take. By monetizing this blog with various affiliate programs you can make money when somebody gives you the desired response.

Niche marketing websites are easier to set up because they do not have to become as complex. A website on a general topic such as fishing could take days or even years to develop but a smaller website targeting a specific niche can be up and running in a short amount of time.

Then as you drive traffic to it you can continue to make money while you go out and work on your next niche website.

Can you really make money with online surveys? Yes, you certainly can. There are many companies that will pay you cash to fill out their surveys. The trick is to find the right companies that offer the best payments and can be trusted to actually pay.

By filling out surveys you offer a benefit to many companies by telling them your opinion about their products. Legitimate companies offer to pay people every day just to get their opinions. You can make a good extra income by filling out surveys online. You will need to remember that there are many scams out there as well so you will need to be very careful who you choose to go through.

However, there are a few legit paid survey sites out there, very organized sites that send you real surveys that actually earn you real money. I won't go into all of them here but I wanted to let you know about the one paid survey site that I believe is miles above the rest. The name of this site is Paid Surveys Etc. and of all the paid survey sites I've come across this is the best one to actually get paid. And when you think about it there is no point in putting in all the time its going to take to fill out all of these surveys only not to get paid. So remember to be very careful when choosing what site to go through when trying to earn extra money.
