Making Money Online - Part 2

An alternate strategy that some people advocate is "niche marketing". The idea is that if you're the only website on widgets then you can corner the market and get all the ads, all the affiliates, and all the pageviews about widgets. But if no one is looking for widgets, cornering the market may not net you any money.
Earn Money with Ecommerce:

If you make something or have access to goods for resale, you can set up a shop online and sell your products. The simplest ecommerce sites provide details about the products for sale, costs, and a contact form for customers to request product. But once you've made a few sales, you might find it useful to set up an online store on your website for customers to order right from the Web. The quickest way to get started selling online is with eBay. If you sell enough, you can set up a storefront there and you don't have any hassles with accepting credit cards or other ecommerce difficulties.
Make Good Money with Ecommerce:

You need to create a website that makes it easy, even fun, to buy the products you are selling. One of the most common problems with an ecommerce site is that the crucial information that customers want before they buy is hidden or missing. This means, don't hide the price. You're not going to make a sale if the price is too high. But if you make customers jump through hoops just to find that price, they'll already be annoyed and less inclined to buy. So don't be afraid to show your prices. Just make sure you have products that people want to buy at those price points.
Earn Money by Selling Content:

Selling content can seem difficult at first, but it isn't any harder than selling goods (or services). Content can be articles, images, clip art, animation, or even movies. The easiest way to sell your content is to become a professional blogger. In most cases, you then write a weblog for another company on a topic that you're familiar with. But beyond weblogs, if you create images, animation or video, you can sell these just like you would on a retail ecommerce site.
Make Good Money Selling Your Content:

The best way to make a lot of money selling content is to get a regular gig with a blogging company or stock photography company. Once you have a regular job, then make sure to do more than the minimum required of that job. It can be tempting to do as little as required, but there are lots of people who want the job you have, and until you prove yourself, these companies will view you as expendable. Plus, most pay by the pageview, so just like with advertising and affiliate programs, the more you write, the more people will see your content and the more money you'll make.
