It can take time before the Affiliate Marketing cheques start flooding in. If you’re new to affiliate marketing and you want to make some money while you’re building your skills and your business, there are many other ways to make money online. Self promotion and other techniques can pay off in a big way.
Let’s look at three possibilities:
Revenue Sharing From Content
While you’re building SEO for your site as well as inbound links, you might notice that websites will pay you revenue share for your articles. Not all sites do this but there are a lot that will, including: Ehow, Triond, Squidoo, Associated Content, Bukisa, HubPages, InfoBarrel, and others.
You can post articles that contain a link back to your website and make money from them while they bring your site traffic and SEO. You can make a few cents to a few dollars to many dollars with this method while you’re building your readership and your site rankings.
A piece of content posted somewhere could bring you passive income while also improving your chances of making affiliate commissions!
Blogging
There is a lot of money to be made in blogging. You can use blogs to build your readership and to sell affiliate products and while you do that you can monetize those blogs with Google Adsense ads, Affiliate Marketing banners, other contextual advertising programs, and you can sell links as well.
A lot of bloggers make money with Affiliate Marketing and a lot of affiliate marketers use blogging to make money while they market to the public. You can even find blog networks and obtain ghost blogging jobs that pay you per post.
Site Flipping
A lot of people will buy established websites for their own internet marketing efforts. You can build small websites filled with niche content and sell them to others for a profit.
A day or two spent building a site could result in a few hundred dollars (or more) of profit. While you build the sites, you can monetize them so that you can earn from them as well.
Beneficial Ways To Spend This Income
Plant seeds to help your business grow, wherever possible. Making money on some of these pursuits while you build your internet marketing business can do several things for you.
It can help you supplement your wealth and the earnings you make can fund your business by paying for your hosting, paying for Google Adwords campaigns, paying for the e-books and mentoring programs that you decide to try out to can teach you more, and you can use these sidelines to help you network as well.
Have a most outstanding day.

Having other income streams would be a very good strategy.
I will look at implementing this
Thanks for the tips
Hi Sean,
Wow! There are so many ways to generate an income online that I didn’t know existed. I haven’t heard of most of these. Like Gee, I’ll also be looking into giving some of them a go.
Hi Sean,
“Planting seeds to help business grow” is a great thing I’v just learnt. Love the idea of making money the way you just described. Awesome.
Thanks

Hi Sean,
I never heard of these income generators before. These will be very helpful while establishing your internet marketing business. Thank you very much.

I do love the word ‘passive income’ and what a great idea you have here, ‘renting’ out my articles while building my affiliate site.
Would there be any problem with duplicate content when my site was built and I then brought those article back and republished them on my site?
Once you have posted your articles on those sites, there would not be much benefit in publishing them on your blog due to the duplicate content issue Elly
I never thought that eHow, Hubpages etc actually ‘rented’ pages or articles – that’s a super neat idea. Have just copied that into my notes for tomorrow’s chores.
It does pay to look properly at thses sites when I join them!
Thanks for the pointer Sean
They don’t rent your pages, but they do offer revenue share if ads happen to get clicked on (for example) within the articles you have submitted
