How to Make Money Online in Singapore
1. Sign up for web hosting and a domain name. Having your own host enables you to moderate your website however you like. Many free web hosts put their own limitations and advertisements on your website, so it is best to avoid them. Having your own domain name allows you to create your own internet persona and enables you to resell the website domain in the future.
2. Create your website. With the advent of Content Management Systems (CMS) the average Internet user can set up a website in minutes. For example, Wordpress is a free CMS that is famous for its five-minute installation. Content management systems allow you to build and moderate websites with flexibility and ease.
3. Sign up for advertising and affiliate programs like Amazon Associates and Google Adsense. These services allow you to place advertisements and affiliate links on your website, earning you a commission every time someone clicks an ad or purchases a product.
4. Place advertisements and affiliate links in or beside your website content. For example, a review about a laptop should have an Amazon affiliate link that leads to that laptop's web page. Google Adsense ads should be placed close to website content to catch the attention (and hopefully the interest) of a user, increasing your chances of a click.
5. Drive traffic to your website. No traffic means no revenue. You should get traffic by writing quality content and letting people know about it through social media sites like Digg and StumbleUpon. In addition, there are paid traffic sites that direct website visitors your way for a set fee.
How to Put an Ad on a Tumblr Webpage
1. Access the advertisement code you want to put on your Tumblr page and copy it. This is typically done by logging in to an affiliate account, such as your Amazon Associates page, generating the promotion and then copying the code that automatically displays. See your affiliate account's 'Help,' 'Support' or 'FAQ' page if you need more information on this process.
2. Log in to your Tumblr account and click the 'Customize' link.
3. Click the 'Theme' option in the menu and then click the 'Use custom HTML' button.
4. Scroll through the code that displays until you see the '
' tag, which is typically 3/4 of the way down on a Tumblr theme. Paste your advertisement code underneath this tag to make it visible on your blog. If you want the offer to appear at a specific place on your blog page, find that text in the blog code and then paste the offer code near this area.
5. Click the 'Save + Close' button, then click the name of your Tumblr blog on your Tumblr dashboard page to see your ad.

How to Increase Your CTR
1. Find the best placement for the ad blocks on your site. If your website is informational, ads placed at the end of your content will perform very well. If your website is transactional (for instance, if your it provides product reviews to potential consumers), ads will work better when placed at the top of your site. Each website is different, so experiment and track your results to find the optimal balance for your site.
2. Reduce clutter on the page, particularly around the header. Streamlined, uncluttered pages statistically produce a dramatically higher CTR. Make navigation and important pages easy for visitors to access, but avoid the urge to add non-essential elements which are not central to your site's function or message.
3. Left-align your ad blocks. Website viewers process information from left to right, so placing your ads on the left will increase their visibility and perceived importance to visitors.
4. Try both text-based and image-based ads on your website to find which yields a better CTR. Avoid ad options which offer a mixture of text and images. Research shows that some websites perform better with text ads, and some with images. But very few websites achieve an optimal CTR by mixing the two.
5. Increase the width of your ad blocks. Wider ad blocks are more readable and easier for visitors to process.
6. Try both blended and contrasted color themes for your ad blocks. Some websites perform better when ad blocks stand out against the content, while others do better with ads that blend seamlessly into the text. Track your CTR for both a blended and contrasting approach to determine the best fit for your site.

2. Create content for your website. Write short articles on topics you know a lot about or enjoy participating in (your niche area) from travel advice tips to best cooking practices to include in your website. Share the information, pictures, videos and photos relating to your niche area in your website to build an audience and gain a steady number of visitors to your site every day. You may also use sites like Yahoo Buzz to find out what topics are popular and write on them, to try to bring more traffic to your site.
3. Promote your website. Purchase pay-per-click search engine text/word ads, such as Google AD Word or Yahoo Sponsored Search. Search engine text/word ads display short messages that point to your website along with search engine results. You pay a certain amount every time someone clicks on the link. Also include links to your website on social media websites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.

Choose an affiliate product to sell from affiliate networks like Clickbank, Click2Sell or PayDotCom. Get the affiliate link associated with the product and insert the link in your website. Each time someone follows the link and purchases the product, you will earn a certain amount. Sell your own products by listing the products on your site and setting up a payment method, such as PayPal, for accepting online payments.

How to Sell Internet Advertising on Your Website
1. Determine whether you want to sell advertising through a network or on your own. Beginners should consider an ad network such as Google AdSense or Text-Link-Ads while getting established and developing a readership. Larger, established websites can have good success selling ads directly. Decide how many ads you want and where you will place them. You want high visibility with minimal impact to the reader.
2. Create a PayPal account. Nearly all ad networks pay revenue through this service. If you sell your own ads, your vendors can pay you this way as well.
3. Create an account with an ad network. This ad network will give you instructions on how to place their ads on your site and will request your PayPal e-mail address so they can deposit revenue.
4. Create spaces for the ads on your website and put ads in those spaces. Even big sites will benefit from placeholder ad network ads, as these allow potential advertisers to see how their own piece will look. If you do not want to sell your own ads, this is all you need to do.
5. Determine how much you will charge for your ads. Consider the size of your blog, your niche audience and the amount of traffic you receive. Look at competitor's websites and find out how much they charge for their ads. Price yours similarly.
6. Create an 'Advertise' page on your site or a 'Contact Me' link for potential advertisers to inquire about your rates and subscribe to advertising.
7. If you like, contact potential advertisers to sell them ads. You will need to present your website and its audience, describe your traffic flow and list your rates in three to five paragraphs.
