In the last few months i have been going through the net looking for such opportunities. Some are really a waste of time and money but others are worthwhile and cost a fortune. I however came across a website that provided an easy way to building a profitable Internet business. They provide training on how to get traffic, how to generate multiple streams of income, and so much more. All the information was presented in such a way that even a 10 year old could build an Internet empire. The best part of all is that it is absolutely free. That was what really amused me. \n\nhttp://giddy.payitforward4profits.com/\n\nSo the site can help guys who are already in other Internet businesses by giving them ways/strategies of building their businesses. Or for us newbies, it gives suitable ways of building our Internet businesses from scratch. Check it out and see what i mean. \n\nHope this will be of help in getting you started. \n\nhttp://giddy.payitforward4profits.com/

You dont need to pay anyone to start your own website. Its free but you may want to buy some cheap web page software. You probably already have webspace through your internet provider. Check into affiliate programs, kmart, walmart, shopko, tons of them! Everytime someone purchases something thru your site you will receive a commission. Just look for the affiliate links. When you are happy with your site you may want to obtain a domain name. This will make it easier for the public to find. You can purchase a domain name for as little as 3 dollars a year. Yahoo provides this service. The hardest part of running an internet business is pushing your site. Be prepared once it is up and running to spend many hours poking your site down peoples throat! After you get it rolling the rewards can be great!

I would suggest you research any site you wish to consider utilizing as a means of generating income. While some sites are genuine, there are many scams out there which will be happy to releave you of your money.\n\nIf research fails to provide any solid backgroud on a site and what it is claiming it can do for you I would hesitate seriously before giving out money for materials and other products supposidly designed to teach or train to earn money. If any company requires a financial outlay prior to working for them or doing contractual work take a good close look at them. Usually legitimate organizations looking for contractors do not ask for upfront money. Unless it is to invest in the company. \n\nI suggest you go to the better business buraeu and check out their history. See if anybody has filed a complaint against them. If not, still be cautious in giving out personal information or paying fees. Often there are those who proffer bogous opportunities just to get your personal information which they then sell or use to defraud you of income or take your identity. \n\nBe really carefull, do proper research and then take more precautions. There are thousands of unscrupulous individuals who are out to decieve others. Often if an offer sounds too good to be true then it is. There are really no quick ways to earm money. When somebody claims to have a quick way to get lots of money usually their quick way is for themselves and innocent or unwary individuals are the ones who are providing that income.\n\nGood luck finding a job which you will be happy doing and much happiness your way always.

Your best option is not to use it for profit directly. \n\nMost of the information you will most likely be selling is available elsewhere for free on sites like seomoz.com. \n\nYour best bet is to use it for your own marketing and to create a blog or write articles as a follow up and use the information as a "quick start guide" in order to generate interest in your services but not use it as a product in and of its self.\n\nOnce the "quick guide" is released on your site, be sure to let as many online marketing/online business sites and publications know of its existance through direct contact and wide distribution press release. \n\nLet me know if you need help identifying these places to contact about your new resource.

In my opinion, and experience, the best small business to launch is an online business. Create websites about topics of internest to you, then put on PPC ads from servers like Yahoo Publishers Network or Adsense. You will be paid for each click, when visitors come to the site, see ads of interest to them, and click the ads. The best things about this business is the initial investment is very low. You have no inventory to stock,no orders to fill, no customers to contend with, no shoplifting, no breakage, no back breaking boxes to lift, no employees to hire, no rush hour traffic, and no credit card fraud. You are looking at monthly hosting fees of $20 or less, you design in, so there is no design fee. We are making over $4000 a month just in the PPC revenue, plus we sell ads to other business directly. We work from home, set our own hours, and just wait each month for the check from Adsense or YPN to arrive. It doesn't get any easier, or any more flexible.

By asking this question, I assume you are interested in developing web sites.\n\nThe short answer is, charge what you want to make. The market will dictate the pricing. If you charge too much nobody will use you, and if you charge to little, everyone will abuse you. It is trial in error.\n\nTry and explore websites for fees. Businesses are very selfish. They will not freely give away their trade secrets.\n\nI would say take into account everything that will cost you money and then add your time to the bill. Your time is what you value yourself at.\n\nI guess by simple web page you mean just HTML no artwork or multimedia. I've seen these simple pages go for about $25 per page. Enclosed is a website URL that may help you. There is a good amount of free info. \n\nDisclaimer:\nI am not advertising this site. I have no personal gain connected to this site. I simply have found it useful, and maybe you may too.

you could start a website and sell them on there\nyou would then have to submit your website to search engines so that people could easily find you website\nthen you would have to post your website on whatever you do on the internet

WOW! That is an awesome idea. I think you would make a lot of money making a site like that. To get a site like that up and running and getting traffic to it will probably cost you about $1000 to start with then probably only like 20 or 30 bucks a month after that. So if you dont have $1000 then yes you can go to the bank and get a business loan. You should check out SBI, I think they are the perfect solution for you.

You can write niche content and make some money via Google Adsense or Yahoo Publisher Network. Both are pay per click programs. Check out this case study https://www.google.com/adsense/askthebuilder It's about Askthebuilder.com earning nearly $30,000 a month with Google Adsense.\n\nCreate sites via free hosting. This way you need not invest any money. Just your valuable time to create websites. You may not get checks almost immediately but with the right methods and hard work, it's definitely a good source of passive income which will come sooner or later. \n\nIf you need more details on ways to work from home, there are some good information and articles from this site. http://earncash.50webs.com

Write columns for informations sites like about.com, sourceforge, investopedia.com, wsj.com, etc.\n\nSetup your own e-commerce site.\n\nSetup a payment gateway online, introduce it to merchants, and let their CC transactions go through your site to the financial instts and banks.\n\nSetup your site, give some useful info and email-id's free. Sell the site to some big boy once you build a strong network.

The most lucrative way? Launch a website. You don't even really need any technical skill. Just an interesting topic, a bit of writing ability, and a blog. Though having your own site and some decent web page editing software (and of course, some regularly-changing content that people want to read and re-visit) will give you more flexibility.\n\nThe following specific options assume you've got a website in place...\n\n1) Google AdSense. Note that you've got to have a functional webiste OR a Blogger account (which is owned by Google) to get approved for AdSense. How to actually earn SIGNIFICANT money is outside the scope of a simple Yahoo answer here, but just know that there are sites earning thousands PER DAY with AdSense.\n\n2) ClickBank. There are plenty of affiliate programs out there, but eBooks offer the highest commissions (because of the low overhead). Typically 50% to 80%. I regularly get checks in the mail (every two weeks) averaging a few hundred a month. And that's without doing heavy promotion!\n\nClickbank and AdSense also work well together. For example I have my site set so that when AdSense cannot figure out what ads to display based on the keywords on a page, my Clickbank banners display instead.\n\n3) An affiliate clearing house. Instead of signing up for a bunch of different affiliate programs and then having to check and tweak your performance in all of them, use a large affiliate clearing house and get unified reports. I like Commission Junction (some of my favorite vendors are there).

start a web site.  Start loaning money to people.

I suggest using Google's AdSense on a personal website of some sort. While you don't make a LOT of money (unless you've got a high-traffic website), it's probably the safest and most reliable way to make money on the web without getting ripped off.
