Welcome to the Make Money Online Blog. This blog is created for those who are seeking alternatives in generating income online rather than from the usual jobs (e.g. in-office jobs, 9 to 5 jobs). The blog is also aimed for those who are insterested in the idea of making money online. Or even for those who would like to earn extra income on the side to buy a new car, for a holiday, a handbag – whatever it is I’m pretty sure that you won’t mind getting extra money, right?

Internet, business trading, general shopping and even advertising now can be done online. Companies or businesses who don’t have a website or some kind of presence online can be seen as being unprofessional. Internet and being able to do things online is the “thing” at the moment and for the future. This is your big opportunity to dive into the Internet and online world and take a chance!

We’ll discuss more of how to make money online in our posts. So follow us and let’s get your journey started in making money online.

IM News – The Future for Affiliates: Part 1 Overcoming Hard Times

This article is taken from ReveNews

Unfortunately for affiliates, the last few years have seen many, mostly detrimental, changes in the affiliate marketing channel.

Networks became affiliates themselves, failing to see the obvious conflict. The bad players (like cookie thieves) multiplied and got smarter. Merchants opened up other profit channels and partnerships, making what we affiliates refer to as “leaks” the norm. Then there’s state governments’ pursuit of nexus, which put many affiliates out of business as retailers pull out of states that pass the so-called “Amazon tax.”

Perhaps most frustrating is the loss of affiliate advocates as they move on to new ventures. It seems that affiliates are under attack from every direction. No one seems to
