Are you looking to earn money on the web? Let's look at 3 easy ways you can earn money using the internet. Affiliate programs, home based business, and internet marketing.
Affiliate programs:
Affiliate programs may be the easiest way to earn money on the web. Why?
With any online business you must have a product or service to sell. First you must create this product or service and then you must be able to fill orders or find people who will sell it for you for a hefty commission.
Affiliate programs allow you to sell another company's service or product and make a commission on every sale or lead. You do not even need to build a website, process the order, ship the product to the person, or anything like that. Your only job is to drive traffic (customers) to your affiliate link and hope that they click on it and buy the product.
An affiliate link is a special URL code that will identify customers coming to the company's site from your advertising. It will likely be the website address with a code attached to the end.
Some affiliate programs also have tiers. That means if someone who is interested in SELLING the product comes through your link and signs up you will also get a small percentage of THEIR earnings. This is also called internet network marketing.
A home based business:
This is a business which is really described as a work at home business. The person reserves a room in the house and builts an office in it. There they have there own computer, telephone, possibly a secretery, and some nice furniture.
A home business can be anything from party plans, to mlm businesses, or any business based in your home and conducted outside of it.
Internet marketing:
This is the use of the internet to advertise and sell real tengible merchandise or services. This involves the use of someone's site and e-mail to inform his/hers customers about a product, answer their questions and feedbacks, and accept their orders directly through the online internet world.
Virtually any product or service can be sold online for a generous commission. This is a great way to earn money if you already have a product.
An excellent program that combines all 3 things, affiliate programs, internet marketing, and your own home business is the Plugin Profit Site (PIPS). In 3 easy steps you can be set up with your own money making website, and internet marketing newsletter that you can run from your own home.
This is, in my view, the best earn money on the web opportunity for someone who doesn't have the knowledge, money, or the time to set up their own home business on the internet. You can learn more here:

Earn More Money in Your Online Business by Creating a PIG
If you really want to earn more money with your at home business than you need to strongly consider adding a P.I.G. Obviously, I am not referring to the questionably adorable pot bellied pig that many fine people have adopted for a pet. The concept of adding a Passive Income Generator to your business should be a top priority if you want to earn long term income.
What exactly is a Passive Income Generator?
As the names suggests, a P.I.G. is a product, system or service that will pay you and your company long after it has been implemented. In fact, the ideal P.I.G. is one where you do the work once and it pays you over and over and over with little to no maintenance on your part.
An example of a P.I.G. could be a book, an audio CD, a patent, the licence to use your idea, a service that you contract out, and much more. Let's take a book as an example. You diligently research, compile, write, edit and proofread your book. Depending on who you are this may take you anywhere from 14 days to 14 years. Once the work has been done, a publisher will usually help with the marketing and promotion of the book. Once all that has happened, you the author are left with a passive income generator that will keep selling books while you sit in the sun enjoying a margarita.
Making money with a P.I.G. has become so much more important with the acceptance of internet commerce. Today, there are some amazingly quick, simple and inexpensive ways of creating a P.I.G. As an example, take a pay per click advertising campaign. This type of a business revolves around driving traffic from the search engines at a small cost to a sales site. Once at the site, automated software can take the browser by the hand and market and market the product until a sale is made. If the product is virtual like software or an e-book, no human ever needs to get involved in the transaction (other than the buyer).
Another example of an online P.I.G is an affiliate program. Pretend you sell a digital product like an ebook or audio book. Now imagine you get to work testing all kinds of sales literature until you create a very effective selling system on your website. All you need to do now to really expand your business is drive plenty of traffic through this system. By creating an affiliate program and attracting hungry affiliates, you stand to make a greater income while working less and less. The affiliates bring in the customers, your automatic sales website does all the work and once again you get to take off to a warm sunny destination.
So no matter what business you are in, think about how you can earn more money by adding a P.I.G. What parts of your business can you automate for complete hands free operation? Could you create an entire business where you create nothing but P.I.Gs? How much more money, free time and luxury would that add to your business and lifestyle?

Successful Internet Marketing Business Models
There are many ways by which you could earn online. Here are some proven successful methods, as well as some useful tips to help you maximize your earning potential in each one of them:
1. Affiliate Marketing
You could earn as an affiliate. An affiliate is a middleman between the merchant and the customer. Basically, the affiliate only has to look for a customer and pre-sell the affiliate merchant?s products.
Pre-selling is easier than actually selling the goods. You would only have to capture the potential customer?s interest and lead him to the affiliate merchant?s site. If a sale is made, you?ll receive commissions that ranges from 5% to 95% of the actual price of the product sold.
Enticing, isn?t it? But wait, there?s more! You could enroll in as many affiliate programs as you wish. This means that the earning possibilities in this area are virtually limitless!
For more in-depth affiliate marketing technique, I highly recommend this Affiliate Marketing Guide: http://www.marktse.com/recommend/affiliate-marketing-guide.php
2. Create Info Product
You could earn as an info product creator. You could write an eBook or a special report on a subject that you are very much familiar with. Afterwards, you could market the same for profit.
Do not let the word ?creator? fool you, however. You could earn from this field even if you don?t create anything. If you don?t have the time to come up with your own product, you could always hire the services of a ghostwriter to write one for you. Just make sure that the ghostwriter you?ll contract is trustworthy, and more importantly, has excellent writing skills.
Or you can buy private label products that you can brand the products with your name, here is a collection of digital products that you can brand your name as the creator right now: http://www.marktse.com/source-code-files/
3. Resale Rights Products
You could earn as a resale rights marketer. You don?t have to create, or cause the creation, of info products.
You could simply buy the resale rights of existing ones and take care of the marketing. In so doing, every product that is sold would net for your profits to keep.
Here is a good collection of resale rights products that you can choose: http://www.marktse.com/master.php
4. Public Domain Content
You could earn from public domain information. Works before 1923, and to a certain extent, those before 1978, are deemed free to use.
This means that you could republish the said works, or alter them if you wish, for profit.
Republish classic literature as electronic books. Compile timeless poems into comprehensive collections. Print masterpieces and sell them as posters. And you don?t have to pay their creators and royalty fees!
Many marketers are earning big adsense check by just publishing public domain content on the web. Here is a software that can make this easier: http://www.marktse.com/qpg/
5. Provide Service
You could earn as a service provider. If you?re good with a particular craft that could be done digitally, then you could lease out your services for the many Internet denizens the world over.
If you have excellent writing skills, for example, you could peddle your services as a ghostwriter, or as a copywriter even. If you?re good with web designs, you could make websites for other people and earn a generous sum in the process.
Put in time and effort and you will earn
You see,these are only some of the many ways by which you could earn money from the Internet. There are other means of course, like paid to surf and paid to read programs, but really, nothing beats the assurance of an actual business that the above models provide.
You will be in charge of your own fate, and your earning potential will depend on how much time and effort you will invest in your chosen venture.
