Many affiliate marketers start off with Amazon’s affiliate program, but there are many available, and each program will have it’s own rates. Affiliate marketing offers a scalable business opportunity and has low start up costs associated with it. If you are technically inclined and are reasonably good with computers, then this could be a good opportunity for you.

Blogger

How do bloggers monetise their blogs?

• Advertising: Placing ads on their blog
• Selling Products, Digital and Physical proudcts
• Sponsored Posts - a company will pay you to place their post on your blog
• Affiliate Marketing - You will link out to specific websites that contain your personalised tracking links to their websites. If the visitor makes a purchase, then you will get a commission for your referral.
• Merch - If possible bloggers will sell Print On Demand T-Shirts, and other printables.

Blogging is something that has developed from a hobbist pastime into a full time career for some now. Some of the most popular blogs can earn staggering amounts of money when they are effectively monetised. Monetisation methods would include sponsorship from brands, Affiliate Links and Adsense Ads as an example. This combined approach means that the income streams are diversified and can turn blogging about your favourite topics into a lucrative career.

Some of the most successful bloggers are now household names, for example Mario Lavandeira , (Who you may know as Perez Hilton) created a blog that was launched in 2005. The blog focused on Celebrity gossip and quickly became the go-to reference and visited by people all over the world. It is estimated that Mario Lavandeira earns around $450,000 per month (Around £342,000). Not bad!

You don’t have to be a superstar web developer to make a living making websites. For those of you who prefer a hands off aproach you can ever outsource the work using a freelancer site.

For everyone else, it is easy to learn how to become a web developer online and you can take to YouTube or join sites such as Udemy to learn specialist skills from experts in web development.

It is worth specialising in a particular topic and many web developers find that they can get a lot of work just focusing on developing sites for one CMS (Content management system).
