Making money on the Internet.

The Internet boom may be over but there is still a chance for ordinary punters to make solid, if not spectacular profit by using the net. People willing to build their own website can benefit from affiliate schemes run by other companies by which your site links to theirs and you get a cut of every resulting sale. There are a variety of schemes that will pay you for bringing them business and, unless your website is somehow inappropriate, the chances are they'll accept you.

Then of course you have to get people to your site and interested in buying, so it has to offer more than a string of pleas for cash. Maybe you have some pocket of expertise and can write, for example, the angling site, while offering paying links to sources of outdoor clothes and angling books. Perhaps you're a gadget fan who can offer people a link to an electronics shop. Give the people logging on a reason to return and the chances are they will. Never forget, though, your site needs to be kept up to date, and there can be fierce competition in| some areas.
