How to make money online with Google Affiliate Network

There are several good Affiliate Networks available to web site owners and Bloggers today. I use several affiliate networks myself and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. One of the most user friendly networks is Google’s Affiliate Network. It is great because you can use it through your normal Google account and run it along your Adsense program on your site. With some affiliate networks there is a sign up fee however Google’s Affiliate network is free of charge. Google is not the first company on the internet to set up an affiliate Network but a lot of people trust Google’s strong brand. To be honest this is probably one of the easiest ways to make money from your site as Google’s Affiliate Network has thousand of advertiser and there are millions of products available. As a web site owner, or internet marketer, you may find yourself with some great keywords and your own specialized know-how however it can be a struggle as finding reliable affiliate advertisers with good products to promote on your site or blog. With Google Affiliate Network you have access to thousand of advertisers who would like you to sell their products, and you only need to search in one place. Also you have the back up of Google’s brand name and unlike some other affiliate schemes you can be sure you are going to be paid for your hard work. One of the best things about the system is that you have one general account and you apply directly to advertisers. This is a great time saver as many other systems forces you to set down and contact every advertiser individually. It really is as simple as one click. It does not mean you will get accepted by all advertisers but most of them will take you on. Google Affiliate Network makes earning money on line much easier. Take that great idea you have for a web site, get your keywords, write up and publish your content. The next step is simply to find the product and advertiser and make some money. The other thing I really love about Google Affiliate Network is that they show exactly how much you will be getting paid. Google has statistics for all the companies and products which are part of the network. You are able to easily lay your hands on lots of information about the company, find the company’s web site, learn a bit more on how the company works and how their commission structure is operated. You will also be able to find out what kind of people normally purchase from the company which is great to know if you would like to add in some focused content. So what are you waiting for? What is that great web site idea that is rolling around in your head? Go and get your keywords and start writing your content. Click here for Google Affiliate Network.

How to make money online with YouTube: a comprehensive guide

Summary: Are you interested in setting up a new residual income stream? While striking it rich with YouTube is very unlikely, it's extremely feasible to make an extra $50-$100 every month or two. Here's how I do just that!

Looking to make a little money on the Internet? Why not give YouTube a try? You don't have to strike it lucky or go viral to earn money with YouTube, but if you do happen to fall into such luck, there's quite a hefty pot of money to earn from. This is all thanks to companies who pay to advertise through YouTube (which is owned by Google, for those of you who were unaware).
In this post, I'm going to give you ideas for making videos that can earn you some real cash on YouTube, as well as give you some pro tips regarding the best practices for making the most of the videos you upload. Whether you're just an individual looking to make a bit of money on the side, or a business looking to monetize promotional videos, there's something for everyone in this post. Don't expect to break the bank -- I'm not promising riches and wealth beyond your wildest dreams -- but if you're looking for a legitimate way to actually make money online, this could be the article you've been waiting for!

Some stats from yours truly

First, let's start with some stats from a few of my videos. I want to show you that while I'm not making money hand-over-fist, I'm certainly making enough to put a smile on my face. Now, don't be too hasty to draw conclusions from these figures, because there are a number of factors to take into consideration with how videos earn and perform. I'll cover those factors in the next section, but for the moment, here are two of my better-performing videos, which, for what they are, is pretty astounding that I'm even earning anything! I'm not naming the specific videos, because I'm not quite sure at the moment if that would violate Google's ToS. Either way, here are the stats:

As you can see up front, there is no blanket statement for saying "X amount of traffic guarantees X amount of dollars." It just doesn't work like that, unfortunately. To further prove the point, here's some stats from a video of mine that has fairly terrible ad revenue performance:

Rough, right? Depending on who you ask, that $0.50 might be the first thing someone has ever earned online, and that's truly something to be excited about; however, judging by the numbers themselves, those earnings are pitiful. Regardless, I just wanted to give you a feel for how widely performance can vary, but the potential to really earn money is certainly there. Up next, I'll dig into why performance varies so much and what you can do to put the odds of better performance in your favor. Later, I'll go into exactly what you need to do to get set up to start making money with YouTube.
