Newbie trying their hands to make money online are often confused how they can actually “make money online”.
They often ask themselves questions such as: “Where exactly is the online money at and how can I take advantage of this opportunity and make some money myself?”
If you are one of these beginners, I would recommend to you that the most straightforward and simplest way to make money online is through ads marketing or ads monetization.
What exactly is Ads marketing or Ads monetization?
Ads marketing or Ads monetization simply means that you earn money by selling advertising space to advertisers.
As simple and straightforward as that!
Traditional newspapers and magazines, which have been around for ages, make money by selling advertising space.
In the online world of Internet Marketing, it is practically the same. You can make money by selling advertising space on your website.
To successfully sell advertising space, you need to:
1. Set up a website of your own
Currently, the easiest way to set up you own website is by using a blog. I recommend using a Wordpress blog if you have a little money to spare to buy domain and hosting. However, if you have no money, you can also set up a Free Blogger blog.

2. Put in valuable content to your blog on a consistent basis
Now that you have your blog set up, the next thing you need to do is to put in valuable content to your blog.
Now pay special attention when I say “valuable content”. You must give valuable content that is beneficial to your blog readers, not just some rubbish and low quality content that you simply copy from another blog and paste it into your own blog.
By entertaining your blog readers on a consistent basis with valuable content that is useful to them, you make them happy they are more likely to return to your blog in the future.
These readers are also likely to recommend their friends to your blog if they feel they have benefited by reading the content on your blog.
The more people who know your blog, the higher your blog’s traffic, which lead us to point number 3…
3. Drive traffic on a consistent basis
Creating great content on your blog is terrific, but you need to do some promotion so that people know your blog exists in the first place.
There are a number of ways to drive traffic to your blog:
- write articles and submit them to article directories like Ezine Articles and Go Articles
- if you have some budget, you can use PPC (pay-per-click) advertising like Google Adwords
- social bookmark your blog’s content on sites such as Del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, and Digg
- participate in 1 or 2 forum discussions related to your niche
- trackback to other high profile bloggers’ posts from your posts
- comment on other blogs in the same niche
4. Finally, make money by selling advertising space on your blog
When your blog is visited by a lot of people (hundreds or thousands) daily, you are ready to sell advertising space on your blog to make some money.
You can do this by selling advertising space directly without the help of third party vendors by putting up your own “Advertise here” page on your blog.
Some people, however, don’t want the hassle of handling the administration work of receiving payments, setting up and activating/de-activating ads, etc.
If this is you, then you can always enlist their help of third parties such as Google Adsense or Adbrite. They take care of all the administration processes, so all you need to do is just collect money if there are advertisers who want to advertise on your blog.
