How to Make Legit Money on the Internet

1. Set up an informative blog website devoted to a specific topic. A themed blog that contains helpful information on a topic can attract visitors, make them want to return and help establish your website as an authority on the subject. You can use online tools, such as Google Trends or Yahoo Buzz, to look for popular topics on which you may want to create your blog. Once the website is set up, joining advertising networks can bring in revenue from ads that the network displays on your site. Advertising networks include Google AdSense, Clicksor, Bidvertiser, Chitika and Kontera. When visitors click on these ads, you earn a certain amount of the advertiser's revenue and are paid at a set time every month, depending on the pay cycle set by the advertising network.

2. Set up a legitimate freelancing business if you have some skill or can provide services to clients in some way. You can freelance in virtually any area in which you're skilled or have professional expertise, including Web or graphic design, secretary or telemarketing work, sales or website copy writing, consulting or counseling. Freelance websites, such as Guru, Elance and oDesk, allow freelancers to sign up and create profiles so that potential employers and clients can find them. You can also set up your own website to showcase your work and provide a way for clients to order services and communicate with you.

3. Post content to revenue-sharing websites. Revenue-sharing websites allow members to create content, such as articles or videos, and post the content to the revenue-sharing site. Examples of these sites include Squidoo, HubPages, Flixya, Triond and Helium. The revenue-sharing site earns money from advertisements that it displays on the same pages as the member's content. As a member, you receive a certain percentage of this revenue, dependent on the terms the site offers. Revenue-sharing sites often pay on a weekly or monthly basis. Your accumulated earnings are often deposited to your PayPal account, or you are sent a check.

How to Get Paid for Advertisements on Your Blog or Website

1. Sign up with an online advertising partner such as Google AdSense, Chitika or AdBrite. These advertising businesses provide advertising blocks that you place on your blog or website. When a reader clicks the link, your corresponding account is credited. Once you reach the payout threshold, you get paid.

2. Place in-text links to advertisements from websites such as Kontera, AdSter and Infolinks. The advertising partner provides a piece of code for you to upload to your blog. The code scans the words in your blog post or article for keywords. The code then attaches a hyperlink to one or more of the keywords. An ad block appears when your reader scrolls over the link. You get paid into your corresponding account when a reader clicks the link.

3. Approach businesses relevant to your blog niche and sign them up to place ads on your blog or website. They pay you a set fee on a monthly basis to advertise on your website. Where pay-per-click advertising works at the whim and click of your readers, sponsored ads are guaranteed income.

4. Use video ads for your video blog or website. Advertising publishers like Brightroll, YuMe and Google Video Ads allow you to place ads or commercials before your videos. Payment for video ads depends on the publisher you use. Some use pay-per-click, others use pay-per-engagement. You'll need to know the details about the specific publisher you sign up for. All your earnings go into your account, which is paid out when you reach the payment threshold.

5. Join an affiliate network. You place links or banners to your affiliate partners in your blog posts or sidebars. When a reader clicks the link and purchases an item, you get a commission for referring the sale to your affiliate. Common affiliate sites include Linkshare, Clickbank, Shareasale and Google Affiliate Network.

How to Increase Local Traffic

1. Use search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to maximize your profile within a designated area through the use of keywords. Think like your potential customers, and anticipate the words they would use in a search engine if they were looking for a local company that offers your services. Include your service and the name of the local area in keywords, such as 'Builders in California' or 'Texas Dentists,' to increase your chances of attracting traffic from search engines. Use the keywords at a density of approximately 3.5 percent on your website pages for maximum effect.

2. Use article marketing techniques to place your company in the eyes of prospective customers with increased regularity. Employ a professional article writer with strong SEO skills to complete the articles on your behalf and ensure the content has a direct association with the products or services you provide. Check to ensure the articles include your chosen keywords, and register them on article directory websites that include links back to your own website. Avoid using writers who flood their articles with keywords instead of using readable, creative content; some search engines penalize this type of 'Black Hat' activity.

3. Build links to your website by registering with business directories that promote the services of local companies. Compile a list of prospective directories, and find out which ones rank on the first pages of the major search engines. Prepare to pay a small annual fee for a directory listing, and talk to business directory sales representatives to find how much extra traffic similar companies are attracting. Ask whether you can pay an additional fee that puts you on the first page of the directory.

4. Join online forums whose members will have a direct interest in your products and services, then add a signature to your posts using the facility provided on the membership control panel. Check to ensure the signature includes a link that takes forum members directly to your website. Use local community forums to attract a wider range of potential customers. If you are offering a specific service, such as auto body repairs, register to as many local automotive forums as possible.
