How You Can Make Money

The Internet is the information highway.  Everyday millions of people go to Google, MSN and Yahoo to perform searches on anything from potting plants to investing stocks. 
People want information and the way you can benefit from this is to build a website that gives people what they are looking for.
Achieve a top 10 ranking in the major search engines for popular keyword phrases and you can really rack in a ton of free traffic like I've been doing.
The money comes in with affiliate programs.  These are programs that are offered by companies that pay website owners to refer their products. 
Generally, they pay a certain percentage for every sale that comes in as a result of your site's referral.  Amazon.com has one and it's very popular among website owners.
So let's say you have an information website on baby toy safety.  Your site is #2 in Google.com when someone types in "safe baby toys" and other related terms.
On your site, you've written various reviews on various toys based upon your own experiences.  The more content you have, the greater the chance you'll be found in the search engines for free.
To earn money, you could join the free e Toy.com affiliate program and when you recommend various toys for parents, e Toys will pay you a percentage for every sale your site refers.
You could also join Amazon.come's free affiliate program and recommend their books on baby safety.  Amazon doesn't pay very high commissions (3-5% on most products), but if you refer large volumes, the commissions can add up.
