How to earn money in IM?

Dear Warriors,

Am a software developer and new to internet marketing.Can anyone suggest what are all the possible way to earn money in IM?.

There are many ways to make money online. Just search through this forum and you wil find hundreds!

However, my expertise is running membership sites. I give away a free 2 week trial because I'm confident of the content I offer. I then charge $27 per month and have well over 500 paying subscribers.

It's not taken me long to build it up to the level it is, but it has taken quite a lot of investment. That's just me though, I strive for perfection. You can still make serious money without having to lay down so much.

Or.. you can simply become an affiliate of a membership site (hint hint) and make a killing without having to lift a single finger.

Here are the few ways.
1. Affiliate marketing
2. AdSense
3. Private ad sales
4. Product development and sale by recruiting affiliates
5. Product sale by rebranding PLR products
6. Product sale by selling MRR
7. Membership site

As you can see, you need to offer something that people will buy. IM is the marketing aspect only that focusses on driving traffic to your site. Once people are on you site, you need to offer someting thatprovides some benefits to your visitors. This is the simple formula

As mentioned above, there are many ways to make money online. I would recommend that you select a method that matches your skill set and your interests.

For example, if you love writing then starting a blog or marketing products by submitting articles to an article directory might be a good idea. But if you hate writing, I would not recommend that you slave over your computer doing these boring, mundane tasks. (Of course, tasks you hate can always be outsourced).

Lastly, try to avoid purchasing every single internet marketing product under the sun. This is a mistake that most "newbie" internet marketers make.

To answer your question more directly, I see a few main ways to make money online. They are:

1) Sell your own product
2) Direct traffic to someone else's product and receive a commission on the sale
3) Create a high-traffic website and sell advertising space
4) Create a valuable, high-traffic website and then sell the entire website to someone

"Onera" elaborated a bit more on these (above).

Hope this helps.

I enjoy making money from freebie sites. I have not completed any trial offers so I just stick with the free ones to make money. You can make some pretty good cash with these programs if you have active referrals.
