If you have a website up and running already and you'd like to make money from it you may want to consider joining an affiliate program.
If you've yet to start up your own website, then you should contact a web designer with affiliate marketing experience.
An affiliate means you make money by advertising products or services from other merchants, by putting text links or banners on your site.
Someone who visits your site may click on one of the banners which takes them to the merchant's website and if they make a purchase you will make a commission on the sale.
Unfortunately you won't make a fortune just by placing a banner on your site, unless you get thousands of visitors to your site on a daily basis.
But by implementing a few simple marketing techniques even the smallest site could earn you a decent income.
Firstly, you should affiliate yourself with a merchant who sells goods that a visitor to your site would buy, there isn't much point in having a link to a cat food seller when your own site concerns PC maintenance.
To start with have a look at the 'Commission Junction', one of the good affiliate network directories on the web it costs nothing to join and you won't even be charged if you link up with a merchant that's listed there.
From that point on it's very simple, you won't have to be a programming expert to start the process.
Advertising other peoples' products is a good way of earning an income via your site, all you're doing is pointing someone in the right direction and your responsibility ends there.
