Free advertising is a good way to keep your overhead down. That way you can make some money from your websites.
- How To Make Money on the Internet -- Part 1- I don't care what all those guys on the forums say, you need a Domain Name. The Domain Name is the first thing you'll need before you can start making money on the Internet as an Independent Webmaster. Otherwise all your link-building efforts will go to waste.
1) Get a domain name from a reputable service like NetFirms or 1and1.
Choose a simple .com domain name. Your customers will remember one- and two-word domain names, and if you ever decide to sell your web site or domain name, short names bring in a higher price.
- Promote Your Sites: The Top SEO Software for Free-
Many large corporations use this software to optimize their web sites. It's called search engine optimization (SEO). Now you can download the free version of this sofware. Just click on the banner shown at the top of this post. Or click on the banner to become an affiliate and earn very lucrative commissions.
- Free Viral Advertising- Of all the so-called viral marketing techniques out there on the Internet today, I find this Free Viral Advertising service to be quite easy to implement and understand: Traffic Digger.
Sure, viral videos will bring you lots of short-term mileage, but the creative process involved is quite labor intensive, and the "glow" wears off fast, especially when your video content is just downright silly! (Silliness will not save your neighbors.) So if you are not willing to spend years attempting to create something earthshaking, then go for the simpler routes. Even rock stars are forgotten.
- Books About Making Money on the Internet- First of all, we are pleased to offer you FREE professional trade magazines and white papers. Visit our Free Industry Resource Center and browse 600+ complimentary industry magazines, white papers, webinars, podcasts, and downloads. Our popular titles include:
Senior Market Advisor
Modern Metals
- Buy Advertising-
- Advanced Advertising with Adland. Includes banner impressions at the top of community, referral and advertising pages. Adland is one of the oldest business/referral/social networks on the Internet today.

- If You Twitter, They Will Come- You can make money placing advertisements on your Twitter threads (see below), and the more followers you have the more advertising money you will make.
- Free Merchant Circle Business Listings- One of the easiest and best ways to broaden your profile on the Internet is to join the MerchantCircle.com network. MerchantCircle gives you a web page, blog, bulletin board, and your own newsletter(s), plus a contact form and a place where customers can review your services. You will receive one free advertising spot (an ad that MerchantCircle automatically places on business listings in your geographical area), and your MerchantCircle page will appear in search results on Google, Yahoo, and the other major search engines.
- Getting Pagerank from Trusted Links- I recently read that one of the best ways to start getting pagerank for your sites is to create links on some of the older, trusted sites on the Internet, sites like Wikipedia.com and Squidoo. You can take a look at my Squidoo Lens here.
- Free Promotional and Marketing Products- If you have not been taking advantage of Vista Print's Everything is Free Sale, then you have been missing out on quite a few valuable (BUT FREE) custom-designed business items (you design your own from their numerous templates).
- Make Money without Spending- If you want to make money from affiliate and pay-per-click programs and networks without spending any money of your own (that is, with no overhead), then you need to use a reliable free host and a free domain name. Do not use the free host's subdomains for your web site, because when the free host vanishes, all the links you created, the ones pointing at your web site, will be useless. Yes, you will be able to move your site to a new host (if you kept a backup), but your site's address (the URL) will change.
- Free and Easy Banner Rotator- If you are looking for a free banner rotator, one that is easy to implement and that allows you to rotate all kinds of banners, HTML, and text, then you will want to take a look at the free offer on Free Web Hosting Reviewed, page 186: http://ledbetter.freepgs.com/wordpress/?page_id=186
- Forums Are a Waste of Time- Forums are most often a waste of time for affiliate marketers. You not only have to muck your way through hoards of useless replies (moderators let users post a lot of stupid one liners), many or most forums do not allow affiliate links (except, sometimes, in your signature). I hate it when forum posts/replies get top rankings in search results; I do not go to forums for trustworthy or authoritative information. I think most forums spam the search engines, in one way or another.
- Marketing Your Website on the Street- Recently I ordered 250 Free Business Cards, 150 free postcards, 35 free fridge magnets, and a free car magnet. I plan to market http://affiliatebin.com and http://fuelspace.com on college campuses and public bulletin boards. And when I am driving around the city I will attach the car magnet to the outer side of my passenger door.
- The Pownce Module for Drupal- I added a Pownce module to this blog so that AffiliateBin will post entries to my pownce.com/affiliatebin/ page. This is the test entry. Also, I had to use one of the older versions of the Pownce module, since the lastest version (April 2008) caused a fatal error in OAuth.php.

Why are student loans such a big problem? Why are loan balances skyrocketing? If we can figure that out, we can solve the problem, right? But part of the problem is that no one can agree what the cause is.
Here's what we know: 1. College is expensive, and it's gotten more expensive at a faster rate than it should have in the past two decades; 2. Higher education is necessary for social mobility; 3. Student loans are usually necessary to pay for tuition and the other costs associated with college. So, why is tuition rising? That might be the right question.
I read an article the other day that explores a possible reason: student loans themselves are the answer to why tuition is increasing. Or, more specifically, how easy it is to get student loans is the problem. Some may also blame colleges' silly spending habits. Colleges are spending a lot of money on buildings and amenities that have nothing to do with academics to attract more students, which has to be funded by tuition. But maybe the two theories are linked. Because colleges need to fund the buildings, and student loans are so easy for students to get, they simply charge the students more in tuition.
When I went to college, I needed student loans, and even back then it was super easy to get them. And then, after I graduated, I had trouble paying them off, just like so many people are experiencing today. Thankfully, today there are a host of repayment plans that make it easier to stay in the black on your student loans — those weren't available when I needed them. I had to fight my servicer to get in a repayment plan that fit my needs. But I did, and now I'm happy to be helping others do the same.
