If you’ve done any investigation at all of Internet marketing, you’ll know plenty of scams abound. Unfortunately, Internet marketers with no morals take advantage of the abundance of people looking for the means to improve their lives by making money on the Internet. It’s a shame, because millions probably get duped into spending money unnecessarily, only to chase down avenues that go nowhere. Fortunately, methods abound for making money on the Web without any up-front fees. This will probably come as a revelation to those who have been ripped off by Internet schemes!

But sometimes one person’s scam is another person’s opportunity. An example of this is the controversy over an Internet business opportunity named Site Build It. Some people think that one or more people have written a SBI affiliate review that wasn’t entirely accurate. The owner has publicly defended himself and he could be totally right. But it’s up to every individual to do their own research before paying money for Internet “opportunities”.

One of the most successful ways I’ve found to make money online is above-board and also pretty simple to implement. I make money from writing on HubPages. HubPages — a community blogging site — makes it quite easy to write content that generates ad revenue. You can create as many or as few content “hubs” (pages) as you want. Each hub has the potential to make up to five forms of revenue: eBay and Amazon products and services, Google AdSense and Kontera ads, and your own affiliate link(s). You get the revenue from 60 percent of the page views that generate money and the people who own HubPages get forty percent. The exception to that would be if you implemented an affiliate program; you get 100 percent of any income generated by someone clicking through on an affiliate link. Writing good hubs takes a bit of practice but in my opinion, the revenue you can earn over time makes it worth the effort.

There are many affiliate marketing programs out there but I like to use RevResponse on my hubs, because people who sign up get valuable free information. When anyone clicks on your links and qualifies to receive free RevResponse publications or white papers, you get paid. That’s all there is to it. Qualifying is not a shoe-in though, so that aspect is important to understand. To get more details about the rules, read this review of the RevResponse affiliate program. It will help you decide whether signing up is worth the time it would take to sign up.
