Internet Money Tree

Some People say that money do not grow on tree…I beg to disagree!

With millions of people online worldwide and a new generation being raised with the internet as a primary means of information, entertainment and commerce, the information superhighway is here to stay.

Many have attempted to sell online in the past. Many others have developed web sites in hopes of attracting throngs of visitors. There have been success stories and there have been not-so-successful stories. If you are the latter group, take heart!.

There is more than one way to skin a cat. And if you have already found ways to make money online, I hope this press release will open your eyes to opportunities that you may not be aware of. Why not pick all the fruits you can?

Opportunity #1 -  Links for Sale

If you own a web site with a Google page rank of 6 or higher, there are plenty of people who are willing to spend money to have a link on your web site. The links can be used towards the bottom of your page. If your page rank is less than 6, there is still hope for you. There are so many resources you can use to make that happen. Are you missing out on opportunity to monetize your page? Now you know you shouldn't.

Opportunity #2 - Not Just Google!

While Google currently dominates the market for pay-per-click ads on the publishers sites, there are shrewd up-and - comers that are finding ways to help publishers monetize their content by analyzing keywords on a page. One such company is Kontera. These folks have partnered with Yahoo/Overture to deliver contextual ads to your web pages without violating Googles terms of service. They call it DynamiContext.

Simply Put a small snippet of HTML code on your site and certain keywords on your page will be automatically highlighted with a blue link. When you roll your mouse over the link, a text based advertisement appears. And guess what happens if a visitor clicks that link...that's right! Money in your pocket.

Opportunity #3 - ''Affiliate This''

Much nis has been made over the now famous Amazon.com associate program, where web sites can earn commissions off sales sent to Amazon from their site. Some people are earning big bucks for sending thousands of dollars worth of sales through Amazon links. But what about the rest of us? There is good news!

There are literally THOUSANDS of companies offering affiliate programs on the web today.
Whatever is the niche of you site, there are products and or services offered by an online merchant with an affiliate program. Is your site about fishing? Affiliate with sporting goods and outdoors merchants. Is your site about legal issues? Find merchants who will pay you to refer people who need a lawyer. Do you write about internet marketing? There are hundreds of eBooks covering just every area of this specialty! Find affiliate programs that fit with what you are trying to accomplish.Since you are the expert at your site, your advice to your visitors will be much appreciated. Try Linkshare.com or CJ.com as starting points to find merchants to affiliate with.

Opportunity #4 - ''The Writer Within''

What is the focus of your site? Is it Golf? If so you probably know a little bit about selecting the proper club. Is it dogs? If so you could probably tell others a thing or two about training a puppy. Is it health? If that is the case, you might know something about the benefits of multivitamins. So what is the point? Well it has been said that there is at least ONE book in every person (including people who can't write a lick!). I am not suggesting that you compile a manuscript and hustle the streets looking for a publisher to put your book in every Barnes and Noble in the world. This is the internet age and ANYONE can become a digital publisher overnight.

Opportunity #5 - ''Sign Them Up''

so your web site gets 10 visits per day? Maybe you receive 100 visits per day? Do you receive 1000? How about more? whatever your visit count is, what happens to a visitor when they surf your site? Do you know who they are? Do you do everything to make sure they come back? If you aren't collecting email addresses on your site, you are missing out on an incredible opportunity to grow a mailing list that can pay back fantastic dividends!
