  2. The Web offers tremendous opportunities for those who know how to harness it. You hear of stories of people who earn thousands if not millions of dollars from doing business on Web. While there are many scams (same way in the traditional business world), there are various ways you can legitimately make money on the Web. However, the choice will eventually depend upon YOU -- what you want to do, what will be the easiest and best way for you, and what your goals are. For example, earning from advertising by writing great content has the advantage of not having any inventory like an ecommerce store, but if you don't know how to write, then it may be difficult to pursue that course of action. Here are the main ways you can earn money from the Internet: 1. Sell products on the Web - Big boys like Amazon or Lillian Vernon online catalog or smaller businesses like BigKidsVideo.com or Candle4Less.com all sell products on the Web. You can either sell: (a) through your own storefront through your own website or applications such as Yahoo Stores; or (b) sell through online auctions like eBay http://www.ebay.com http://auctions.yahoo.com/ http://www.overstock.com http://www.amazon.com http://www.ubid.com http://www.liquidation.com 2. Information Delivery. Others such as About.com or EuropeforVisitors.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways: a. Advertising - there are several ways you can earn money from advertising: 1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services. Burst Media http://www.burstmedia.com Fastclick (ValueClick). http://www.fastclick.com Advertising.com. http://www.advertising.com Tribal Fusion http://www.tribalfusion.com 2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system. Google Adsense https://www.google.com/adsense/ Yahoo! Publishing Network (currently in beta and available to US publishers only) http://publisher.yahoo.com/ Intellixt http://vibrantmedia.com/site/web_01a5.htm Quigo Adsonar http://www.quigo.com/adsonarexchange.htm IndustryBrains http://www.industrybrains.com Commission Junction Evolution http://www.cj.com Kanoodle Brightads http://www.kanoodle.com/about/brightads.html Clicksor http://www.clicksor.com/affiliate_programs.php Contextweb http://www.contextweb.com/ Bidclix http://www.bidclix.com/ Bidvertiser http://www.bidvertiser.com/ 3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: "no pain, no gain!" b. Affiliate Programs - you sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined) c. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information
