In fact, in this Internet age, making money online is not a dream. I have made money from my website for more than ten years. I also know that thousands of people make money online in their own way through websites, live broadcasts, or sell their own products. And many people have created their own business with this.
Now, with the emergence of more and more network tools (such as the emergence of various website building programs, Upwork, WeChat, Douyin, etc.). Makes making money online becomes easier and easier. However, like any business, the revenue you generate through the network will take time to grow. As long as you are willing to spend time and energy to realize your ideas, even if the progress is slow at the beginning, you need to persevere with determination.

The most popular method is to make money through affiliate marketing. This is a practical and effective way to make money online. You can build passive income through articles. People can make money by clicking on links in your articles that are useful to them and buying products and services. Of course, this process does not happen overnight.

There are many people recommending blogs/websites to make money, such as Google Adsense (which used to be very profitable, but now it’s not easy to do), banner ads, Amazon Affiliate, etc. All of these can make money, but in a highly competitive market, you can only make a little pocket money through these old methods.

What if you want to start earning $10,000 per month in one year instead of 3-5 years? It doesn't need to be so difficult. As long as you find the right direction, don't create content in general, just look at what keyword traffic is big and do what you do. Look for keywords that are most likely to generate conversions for direct sales. It is possible that the traffic is not high, but it will make a lot of money.
For example, https://www.adamenfroy.com/, an English website, launched in 2019, and its blog income has exceeded 80,000 US dollars /month in May 2020 . The webmaster concluded that there may not be much traffic or popularity in the initial stage of opening the website.

This website nakedly imitates 10beasts and specializes in launching various product and service evaluations with network alliance links. The webmaster is very With care, the flow and conversion of long texts are good. It is conservatively estimated that it is not a problem to make a few thousand dollars a month.
and. What domestic websites are worth buying https://www.smzdm.com/ this website. This website mainly promotes products of domestic alliance networks, and mainly promotes alliance products such as JD.com and Vipshop. Income is also very good.
There is also a North American Money Saving Express website https://cn.dealmoon.cn/ . The entire site is Affiliate Link. The traffic in North America is very large. It should be a big business now, and many people and websites are also imitating it. The path to success. Users mainly target overseas Chinese, and 80% of the recommended products are women's products, and the conversion effect should be very good.

My own website mainly earns income through affiliate marketing, which is much higher than passive advertising income. Many foreign talents have revealed their income, which is really eye-opening. For example: Adam Enfroy , Breaking The One Percent , Ryrob , Great And Go , A Sassy Spoon , their monthly income ranges from 10,000 US dollars to 100,000 US dollars.

After years of hard work, the monthly income from AdSense ads has exceeded 15,000 US dollars. Of course there is more to earn, but most people will not disclose their earning methods and income.
