Press Release Body: Have an idea about making money online but don't know where to
start?

There are several ways to make money on the Internet - even if you don't have a
product to sell. Keep in mind that running an online business takes time and effort,
just like running any business. However, you can get started without any products,
which is one less roadblock for most people wanting to start a business.

You don't need to be a computer expert to run an online business, but you do need to
either be able to set up a website, or have the resources to pay someone else to do
it for you.

Here are 3 simple ways to make money online even if you don't have your own product:

Affiliate programs
Being an affiliate means you are selling other people's products, and you get a
percentage of the sale, or you make a small fee for each person who requests more
information. Most major retailers offer affiliate programs, along with many smaller
retailers (with lots of good products and services). It's not a good idea to try to
compete with an established retailer like Wal-Mart, Target, or Circuit City. A
better way to make money is to find a "niche" that serves a smaller group of people,
that you can easily reach.

For example, rather than selling sporting goods to everyone, you might start a
fishing site that sells canoes and fishing products to people who like fresh water
fishing. You can also find smaller retailers who may offer more specialized products
to those who know a lot about fishing, while selling the basics from Wal-Mart to
beginners.

A good place to start is Commission Junction (http://www.CJ.com), and you'll get an
idea of the products you can offer. Be creative in finding your niche, start with
something you know a little about, or enjoy doing, and before long you can be making
money online!

Adsense from Google
Adsense is an advertising program from search engine Google.com (there are other
advertising programs you can offer, but for now Google's is the biggest and most
popular). By placing ads on your site, you earn money for each person who clicks on
the ad. Google will automatically determine which ads are best for your site, based
on the topic of each web page. All you have to do is place the code on your web
page, and Google does the rest.

You can also sell individual ads, and determine your own terms and price. But using
a program like Google is simple, and if your set gets a lot of visitors, you can
make good money. Again, the best way to succeed is to find a niche, create a website
around that topic, and Google will be able to determine the best ads for your
visitors.

Write a "How-To" booklet
If you don't want to sell other people's products, but don't have a lot of money to
create your own, a simple way to get started is to write your own "how-to" booklet.
Pick a topic you know enough to write about, and start writing. Information products
are always good sellers - the key is to solve a particular problem. "How to catch
fresh water fish" or "How to plan a fishing vacation on a tight budget" are
possibilities for the fishing niche mentioned above?

To learn more, do a search for "creating information products" or "writing e-books",
and you will find lots of resources. Once you create your product, Clickbank.com
offers a simple service to help you sell your information product, and there are
others to help you get started.

Again, be creative, there are lots of problems out there that people need help with.
And offering a good solution can make you lots of money!

Making money online takes more than just building a website. You need to pick the
right products or services. Then you need to find the right audience to sell those
products and services. Then you need to promote your website to enough people so you
can make money. For now, you should have enough ideas to get you started - even if
you don't have a product to sell yet!
