I started in the advertising business by learning how to build HTML advertisements for websites such as www.freescholarshipfinder.com. It was quite fun to learn what went into the advertising world but I felt I could do much more. I also felt that I deserved to make the money they were making… over $200K a year. I was only shown one part of the advertising industry, which the rest was kept secret from me by the company in hopes that I wouldn’t go out on my own. Well, I learned as much as I could and I’m here to share it with you. This is what they wanted to keep from me.

Traffic is the key. Without traffic you have no way to generate income, and no existing website. If you know how to get traffic to a website, you can make money.

#1 Know who your site is advertising to and find out what sites they visit

If you know who your general audience is, people who would find your site useful, you can then determine what sites they visit and advertise on those websites via traditional or nontraditional means. The most successful advertising campaigns are those that use nontraditional means - meaning _BE CREATIVE_ (within the limits of the law of course )

#3 Google adsense is _NOT_ the only way to make money

Companies such as PrimeQ, Webclients and Eyeserve all offer nontraditional advertisements or Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) advertisements. These ads have a specific amount of money that you can make per acquisition - meaning they fill out the form and click submit. There is _NO LIMIT_ to the text links that you can place on your site for these ads. You can combine links to these type of ads along with your Google, Yahoo, IntelliTXT and/or Adbrite advertisements.
