Hi people! I have made plenty of my website already, but have not published it. I was wondering if you guys could give me any tips on how to make money on my website. Can you give me any names or something of programs like Google Adsense? Thanks!

Affiliate programs are the way to go. Make sure you become very familiar with http://www.associateprograms.com There's a list of programs you can join as well as a plethora of educational articles. Allan doesn't publish his newsletter weekly anymore but you can read his archives. He publishes a lot of success stories which I think is very helpful and inspiring.

I've been a fan of Allan Gardyne since 1998 and credit my success to Allan and Ken Evoy's newsletters and teachings. Really read through this site. You'll learn a lot.

It's where you refer someone to a product or service from your site using a special link that has a tracking code on it. Any time someone buys through your tracking link you earn a commission. Then the company pays you for any commissions you earn for the week, month, etc.

Say you had a site on big screen TV's and you wanted to recommend Best Buy's Samsung 60" Plasma TV. You would go to bestbuy.com and join their affiliate program (if they have one) and as an affiliate they provide you with link to embed into your site.

When your visitors click on the links from your site and go over to Best Buy and make a purchase, Best Buy pays you.

Thousands of sites have affiliate programs so once you decide what kind of products and services fit with your site, go to www.associateprograms.com and search for programs you can join.

lisa...can u tell me any affiliate program which offer free things(completely)??? i am trying to find it but if u can refer me that would be great.

Affiliate programs that offer free products? Not sure why that would benefit you since you wouldn't earn any money that way. Not many companies are going to pay you to give away free things as they would lose money.

But for example SiteSell lets you offer some of their free books and services which adds a cookie to the person's browser so if they come back and buy a product later you get credit for the sale. Is that what you mean?

I'm not Lisa but... because of her I found some affiliates I'm going to try on my site. They are Bidvertising and AtomicSeek. You've got to go to login than click SIGNUP at the bottom for AtomicSeek. I've got to get my website up and running now. I finally found my niche!!!
