Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and that the New Year came in smoothly. Things have been busy here at home but now it is time to get back to work and I am very motivated to start off the new year with more ideas on how to make money online via honest means, not losing with scams. Please check back as I will be updating soon with more ideas on how to make money online.

Make Money with Google!

Google AdSense is a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to display relevant Google ads on their website's content pages and earn money. Because the ads are related to what your visitors are looking for on your site — or matched to the characteristics and interests of the visitors your content attracts — you'll finally have a way to both monetize and enhance your content pages.

It's also a way for website publishers to provide Google web and site search to their visitors, and to earn money by displaying Google ads on the search results pages.

Building your own website

Below I mentioned my new website that I created on gourmet foods (gourmetfoodandgifts.com). I build this website myself and was amazed how easy it was to do. I am still working on it and have lots to do but the program they use makes it so simple with easy tools, over 2000 designs to choose from, and drag-and-drop techniques. I have absolutely NO knowledge in website building, know nothing about html and all of the other website code knowledge, etc., but was able to create a very nice looking, professional website in only a small amount of time. After I finish this one, I have ideas on some other websites I would like to design.

I built my website using Homestead. And, they offer a 30-day FREE TRIAL, so if you decide you don't want to use their service, then you pay nothing, just cancel at the end of the 30-day trial period.

If you are interested in building a professional website or just want a personal website, I encourage you to check out Homestead. If I can build a website, then most likely anyone can.

Affiliate Marketing

If you have a website or a blog, you can earn money through affiliate marketing.

Per wikipedia, here is a description of affiliate marketing:

Affiliate marketing is a web-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor, subscriber, customer, and/or sale brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts.

Affiliate marketing is also the name of the industry where a number of different types of companies and individuals are performing this form of internet marketing, including affiliate networks, affiliate management companies and in-house affiliate managers, specialized 3rd party vendors, and various types of affiliates/publishers who promote the products and services of their partners.

Affiliate marketing overlaps with other internet marketing methods to some degree, because affiliates generally use regular advertising methods. Those methods include organic search engine optimization, paid search engine marketing, email marketing and to some degree display advertising.

Affiliate marketing - using one site to drive traffic to another - is the stepchild of online marketing. While search engines, e-mail and RSS capture much of the attention of online retailers, affiliate marketing, despite lineage that goes back almost to the beginning of online retailing, carries a much lower profile. Still, affiliates continue to play a significant role in e-retailers' marketing strategies.[1]


Two affiliate networks I utilize are Linkshare and Share-A-Sale. They are both FREE to join.

My New Website

I have finally built my website on my passion, gourmet foods! Although I am still working on it and have a lot to do, I want to start showing it to the world. I am really excited about this opportunity.
