I mostly read bloggers who say you have to be persistent on making money online, and never stop trying to improve your content.
Lisa from
http://2Createawebsite.com is a reseller and resells hosting and domains. She also says writing useful unique content for a very specific category can help bring in traffic.
Lisa's site is a great place for Newbies to start on learning how to make money online!
Affiliate marketing can be kind of lucrative for a low traffic site since if you only sell 10 products a day which cost $100 and you get a 10 % commission. You'll make 100 dollars from Commissions. But, you really have to know how to convince your visitors to buy products you recommend.
I don't make much money online. But, being persistent, I'm able to make $3-5 dollars online a day from Adsense, and Affiliate Marketing after a year of writing content like 1-2 posts a day on my blogs and websites.
I'm recently trying to improve my affiliate marketing skills since the commission from Affiliate Marketing can be way higher then paid to click advertising like Adsense, and Adbrite per click on a low to medium traffic site if you can convince your audience to use your affiliate links to buy.
I also read on Internet Marketing blogs which say Ebooks, and Digital products like software, mp3s, tutorial videos, and photos which you sell online can be a good way to earn money without spending money since you just need to find a place to host your files like Amazon Kindle marketplace, iTunes, and ClickBank for people to download them once you payed.
