Ways and Choices to Make Money Online

Allow me to give some personal background. I am a 54 yr. old man and I have been looking and trying ways to earn income online since 2008. My first attempt was Profit Lance. Forget it. I paid $80 upfront for what was advertised as "guarenteed success." It was a scam that provided info how to earn online. This info can be gotten for free by researching on one's own. First rule of thumb- Never pay anything up front, and do not believe anything is guarenteed. Nothing is. Next I built my own websites and joined affiliate marketing websites that allowed me to place ads and products on my own websites. These affiliate ads have tracking codes in them. If a visitor to my website clicked on an ad on my website they were taken to the site selling the products. If a purchase was made, I earned a commission. My out of pocket cost was only $5 per month for web hosting fee. But you MUST choose a web host that offers a website builder that can insert the tracking codes needed as an affiliate marketer AND be capable of publishing on to the internet. The outlay of money needed for affiliate marketing is small, all you need is a web host. Many web hosts offer multiple websites for the same monthly fee. And commission paying websites that team you with companies selling products allow you to join for free.
