Making money online with advertising and affiliate programs is not at all simple. It is just not easy making money online no matter what other people say on their blogs. I joined several advertising and affiliate programs for the past few years and for the past few months but I still have to see if I can really make money from them.

Making money online needs a lot of effort, discipline, patience and perseverance. It needs good planning and goal setting. It is not just enough to sit in front of your computer and write content for your blog. Content is king but no matter how many articles you have written, you will not get a lot of traffic if you are not promoting your blogs.

Even if you get a lot of traffic but if your visitors do not click on the ads, links or banners, then you will definitely not earn. But even if I have not earn from some of those advertising and affiliate programs, I did not regret joining them. I will give it a few more months and see if I have to continue having those ads, links, and banners on my blogs.

What are the Advertising and Affiliate Programs that I have joined so far?

Google AdSense

Make Money Online with Google Adsense. Google AdSense is a free advertising program that allows web publishers like bloggers and probloggers to display ads on their blogs and then earn from valid clicks and impressions on those ads.

Text Link Ads

Make Money Online with Text Link Ads. Text Link Ads is a kind of text based ads widely known as Site-wide Ads or Site-wide Links. It is not a pay per click advertising program so if you join this advertising program, you will earn immediately the moment an advertiser purchases a link from your site.

It has been almost 4 months since I signed up with Infolinks in order to make money online via In-Text ads or In-Content ads. These In-Text ads are being inserted within the content of the blog entry or content of the website. Each publisher will get paid each time the website visitors click on an In-Text ad.

What is Infolinks?

Let me quote Infolinks: “Infolinks, Inc. is a leading provider of In-Text advertising that enables online content publishers to benefit from premium In-Text ads without any risk while keeping most of the advertising revenue.”

What is In-Text advertising?

Again, let me quote Infolinks: “In-Text advertising is a method of online advertising that inserts text link advertisements within the content of a website. Usually, the links will appear as double-underline hyperlinks within the website’s content itself. Upon a hover of the mouse over such a hyperlink, a floating informational bubble opens with content from an advertiser. If the hyperlink is clicked, the visitor is directed to the advertiser’s landing page; otherwise, when the mouse is moved away from the hyperlink, the bubble disappears.”

If you joined Text Link Ads, you probably noticed that you can also refer the inLinks advertising program. Another advertising program where you can make money online is through inLinks. Inlinks is new in the market but the concept of inLinks is no longer new in the market.

InLinks is not a contextual advertising program nor site-wide links ad program but a kind of in-content ad program. Text Link Ads already implemented this kind of in-content ad program but decided to innovate so as not to have problem with Google. InLinks is the in-content advertising program counterpart of Text Link Ads.

If you are already a member of Text Link Ads, you can already implement this ad program. All you have to do is submit your blog or site and wait for the approval. InLinks will determine how much is the worth of the in-content ad on your blog. Once your blog is approved and is going to be opened in the market place, you could earn money from it right away if the advertisers see the potential of your blog and decide to advertise on your blog.

The in-content ad will appear at the main content of your blog itself. So, even if the blog entry is quite old but if the advertiser decides to advertise on that blog entry, you could really earn money and could even receive money monthly if the advertiser renews the in-content ad every month. Your earning could really increase with inLinks in-content ad program more than you earn from Text Link Ads’ site-wide links and probably more than you earn from Google AdSense.

If you are not a member of Text Link Ads yet, and if you are interested to make money online, join inLinks now and start earning money online with inLinks.

Disclosure:
If you sign up or join inLinks or Text Link Ads using my referral links, I will earn from it but only if you are already earning or make a purchase.

Let us take a look at another advertising program to make money online aside from Google AdSense. One of the proven advertising programs where you can make money online is through Text Link Ads. It has a different program from Google AdSense but I can attest to it that it really works.

Text Link Ads is not a contextual advertising program so it is not actually a direct competitor to Google AdSense. It is fine to have Text Link Ads and Google AdSense in one blog. Just read the policy program of Google AdSense and Text Links Ads to know exactly where to place the Text Link Ads so it will not have a conflict with the policy program of Google AdSense.

I have given you the ten points to starting and implementing a blog. Now it is time to make money online. There are several ways and methods to make money online. You can make money online by problogging. But the fact is, even if you do not have a blog, you can still make money online. Domaining and reselling are examples to make money online even without you blogging.
