How To Make Extra Money With Information Products

By Jeff Schuman

One way to make extra money is to build information websites
around a theme. When you think about it search engines have a
very hard job. When a customer sets down at their computer to
research something they are looking for information that answers
a question. If you can have a web page on page one of a search
engine that answers that question then you have an excellent
opportunity to make extra money by doing a couple of simple
things.

One way to make extra money with an information web site is to
put Google Ads on your website. If you look at the top of this
web page you will see how I do it. Google does a great job of
providing targeted advertising around the theme of the web page.
It is easy to set up a Google AdSense on your web page by just
copying some simple code and pasting it on your web page. Then
whenever someone clicks on one of those ads you make extra
money. It's kind of like having an internet cash machine.

The other thing you can do is join an affiliate program and sell
a product around the theme of your web site. When someone buys
the product you are selling you make a commission. This also is
very easy to do as you just refer people to a sales page that is
coded with your affiliate i.d. number and let the company you
are representing provide the sales copy.

Here is a great website to learn about affiliate programs:

The thing that makes this easier to do is fresh content. If you
can write articles and put them in a file where you host your
website then you can create web pages almost effortlessly.
Making extra money is only limited to the number of web pages
you can build and promote. A very good source for fresh content
is Ingoround.com. You will find a constant source of articles
around many different themes that you can use as is and claim as
your own, or you can make changes to fit the keywords you are
targeting. Learn more about this great content source here:

For hosting I like to use Host4Profit. They are extremely
reliable and you also get access to the Internet Marketing
Warriors which is a private marketing club. You can get any
question you have answered for free and their marketing forum is
a great source for ideas that are working for other internet
marketers. If you want to make extra money on the internet this
is a great place to hang out.

The last piece of the information web site making money puzzle
is advertising. The quickest way to get your website on page one
of a search engine is to start a pay-per-click advertising
campaign. Being on page one of a search engine is important
because that is where the most traffic comes from. The key is to
not spend alot of money to develop that traffic when you are
just getting started.

You can learn more about advertising online with a Google
Adwords campaign or by advertising only when some clicks on your
ad. Pay-Per-Click lets you control how much you spend and when
you spend it. It's like a water faucet. You turn it on and turn
it off based on your budget. Here are 2 good places to learn
more about how to make extra money doing that.

This is a really simple process once you get it going. Building
information websites is only going to be a more popular way to
make extra money in the future. As more and more people go to
the internet with questions, we are all provided with an
excellent opportunity to be there with what they are looking for.
