    become an amozon affiliate and sell products related to your niche, also promote and sell digital items like ebooks either your own or become an affiliate of somebody else using a marketplace like clickbank. Alternatively you could offer CPA submits i.e. lock your content until the user completes a quick survey

    It all depends what your website is actually about, if you advise then i'm sure you will get plenty of helpful suggestions.

    no just sign up for amazon affiliate then you can sell amazon items on your site

    i have never heard of the prerequisite for clickbank, you can just sign up then choose a product and you use your username in the hoplink to refer to the item your going to sell

    If you do not have much visitors, the only way to monetize your site is to wisely sell good backlinks on your site.
    Wisely - not in massive amounts
    Good backlinks - quality anchor texts, pointing to more or less trusty websites.

    There are many ways to earn online. There is no one 'correct' way in this business.

    What may work for one, may not work for the other.

    Affiliate marketing is good. I follow that model. So I can personally talk about that only.

    "i have tried clickbank but their prerequisite is 1000+ visitors a day" <- This is not true. There is no prerequisite for the number of visitors. Where did you get that from?

    You could go to clickbank marketplace (http://www.clickbank.com/marketplace.htm) and search for products that are in your niche/are related to your website (weight loss, weight gain, Internet Marketing etc) and then sign up with clickbank and get an affiliate link for the product you select.

    You don't need to sign up with clickbank until you want to get the affiliate link. Once you like a product (you can arrange results in different orders: popularity/keyword relevance/highest commission etc) sign up for free with clickbank and click on 'promote' for the product and viola! you get a affiliate link!

    You don't need to worry about payment issues, tracking, dealing directly with the vendors etc as clickbank handles everything.

    Many vendors provide affiliate tools (which can be checked by going to the 'pitch' page of the vendor/product through clickbank), which you can use to promote the product (like ads, banners, email messages, articles etc)

    So for example you could put a banner of the affiliate product on your website (which you will make, related to your niche), and drive traffic to your website. When someone clicks on the banner and buys the product, you would get anywhere between 50-75% commission, depending on the vendor.

    Another option is a one page website, in which you put a opt-in form to get your visitors email addresses. Why would they give you their email addresses? because you would provide them a FREE gift (like a free eBook that you make in relation to your niche), in return of their email address.

    What will you do with their email addresses? You will provide further value, like a weekly newsletter, and then you introduce related products to sell (your affiliate product).

    You can send them a sales message with your affiliate link. You can also put your affiliate links in the newsletter. This is VERY powerful, as you have build a relationship with your list. They trust you. Sales are sure to follow!

    Does this take more work? Yes! But which business does not take work?

    Hope this helps!

    Kindest,
    Nabeel.

    Pretty much the only ways to make money on a website are adsense, become an affiliate (clickbank, ebay, amazon etc) or selling advertising space.

    No respected affiliate will ever ask you for money. Think about it, you're selling their product for them. It wouldn't make sense to take your money, unless their product doesn't sell well and they want to make money somehow. One good way to find those smaller (but still profitable) affiliate programs is to Google your keyword/keyphrase with the word affiliate or affiliate program. That way you don't have to wonder if a company actually has an affiliate program.

    usually you make money one of those 3 ways:
    a) create site/blog with the content you like (say you like computer gaming), put adsense on it. Google search results bring people who are interested in this topic and your content. Adsense aligns ads with your site content so you may get some descent click through.
    b) find product niche and build website around it (reviews etc). Add affiliate links. Obviously not everybody who clicks your aff link will buy.
    c) find a product you want to sell, build a really thin website around it (e.g. 1 pager), buy traffic to your sales page

    There are hundreds of answer on DP and of course, you can hundreds or thousands of dollars from CPA or affiliate products promote in your site.

    Find a product or a service that will give more user value for their money and that's it.

    You should also think about your budget and time management.

    You might want to think about using your website or blog to help build a list, and then start selling to your list.
    Create a free and informative report and offer this on your website in exchange for your visitors name and email address.
    Over time you will build a list, and then you can begin marketing good quality and related products to your list.
    This can and will make you decent profits in the long run. Just remember to stay focused and work hard.
    Too many people give up too early in the game.

    There are many other PPC advertising which similar as adsense are available, or you can also go for the affiliate program
    Other than that, some people are earning through selling space for advertisement, selling link or write review

    Having a premium membership in website can also help you earn, but i suppose ads are better. Other than Adsense, the single ads are permanent financial source :p.

    You can accept displaying banner space in your website or accept guest blogging with a fee.

    You can sell text-links on your website, ad spaces, and there are also many affiliate programs besides Amazon to join and increase your revenue.
    Just remember, all depends on your traffic. If you have big one then moneymaking will be very easy for you. Check also how many popular sites make their revenues.

    That's a pretty generic and common question.. I have written a short post on how to make money online and offline as well. Please read the same. Please note that the post is based on my personal experience while others may have different ideas as well.
