    As far as my knowledge is concerned- Content writing is the best source of income.

    In my opinion it's Adsense as you don't have to sell things to others, just serve ads.

    create a unique product or service. Doesn't have to be complex. Youtube started with the idea of hosting videos online. It sold for billions to google.

    Making money off advertising has its limitations and IMO, isn't very lucrative. You have to really be pushing tons of traffic.

    I do all of those and sell on eBay.

    eBay pays the rent, affiliate stuff puts the food on the table....and if I'm lucky I have a little left over for beer.

    Find something you love. I recently read an article where the owner of a webhost was talking about how a young man made a website about something he loved and he sold it a few years later. He got through college with that money :)

    CPA is the best method to earn money online. You get paid for users submitting their information for offers such as free ipod, free cell phone, free gift cards

    A combination of everything for 1 main type of package in either the service-providing or product-creation-and-selling industry should be best.

    For instance, if you chose the product-creation-and-selling industry under the weight loss niche, then you can create:

    ---> a website with ---

    ...custom logo and header...

    ...custom design...

    ...a couple of downloadable 5-page ebooks offering useful/helpful and specific step-by-step information about losing weight naturally...

    ...a couple of DVD tutorials (with professional covers) about losing weight which can be shipped to buyers...

    ...5 pages with useful/helpful tips for losing weight (including images)...

    ...an ecommerce section for people to place orders for the downloadable ebooks, shipping/delivery of the DVDs and/or relevant affiliate products (or your own products) then securely pay for their orders via PayPal/credit card/debit card/etc....

    ...optimized ad blocks for CPC/CPM/CPA...

    ...optimized RSS block for relevant feeds from reputable sources...

    ...optimized ad blocks for relevant ClickBank affiliate products...

    ...a mailing list subscription box, and...

    ...auto-Twitterring and social network site posting as well as auto-syndication via RSS features for newly uploaded content page or recently edited content page or latest uploaded products for free download or purchase.

    You can then:

    ---> install this site in your server;

    ---> build backlinks for it via article marketing/blog marketing/forum marketing/Web 2.0 marketing/social networking/etc. across a certain timescale which would make your backlink building campaigns look as natural/organic as possible;

    ---> offer to owners of high traffic high SE ranking sites in related niches your content development or graphics design or anything in exchange for a banner ad pointing to one of the pages of your site;

    ---> offer to owners of high traffic high SE ranking sites in related niches your content development or graphics design or anything in exchange for an advert in their weekly newsletter sent to their mailing list subscribers which promote your site; and

    ---> offer to owners of high traffic high SE ranking sites in related niches affiliate commissions for each purchase by their referrals from your site, sent via their affiliate links.

    Then, you can sell to others:

    ---> a site for a different niche with the same layout but customized content, design, logo and header; and

    ---> your backlink building and other promotional services mentioned above.

    So:

    ---> you not only have a site earning from various income streams, but also a site steadily earning money which can be used to illustrate the benefits others can gain from buying your custom sites.

    Sounds like a hellotta work, huh?

    Well, since the sites you sell will have a layout similar to your site, then all you need to do is outsource graphics design, content development, backlink building and other promotional work mentioned above.

    Come to think of it, you might want to use 50% of what you earn for building your own sites in different niches since this could make you earn more from your own sites while selling sites and services.

    Hope this helps.


    Best,

    Marx

    Not everything works well with everyone.

    Find something your good at. Even if you have to try them all (almost)

    Thats what I did!

    Well, it depends on how much money and time you have.

    Basically, I think surveys and PTC site etc (check out tha one in my sig) are the best way to make a quick buck.

    However, if you want good long term income then I think content writing or making your own products is the best way to go.

    But think about it, you can combine all of the methods you mentioned anyway.
    Create a site. Write your own content on there. Put ads on the site. Post affiliate links to your PTC and survey sites.

    See?? Not hard.

    Article writting pays heavily as your articles gets approved in directories.

    Like each business has its own pros and cons.
    Content writing is the quick source to earn money. But google adsense is just like your own business. You can earn huge money after sometime. But google adsense is hard to run. If you want quick money then definitely go for articles writing.

    Creating your own products. That's why it pays to be a programmer.

    Buy the rights to sell and adapt a well written ebook for 5$.

    Sell it on ebay for $1 and stick your affiliate links inside the text.

    Win.
