Anyone who has done any research on Web marketing knows there are plenty of scams. Unfortunately, marketers with no morals take advantage of the multitudes of innocent people who are looking for the means to improve their lives by making money on the Web. It’s sad, because millions probably get duped into spending money uneccessarily, only to chase down avenues with dead ends. Fortunately, there are ways you can make money online without having to invest a dime. This will probably come as a revelation to those who have been ripped off by Web schemes!

But sometimes one person’s scam is another person’s good opportunity. A good example of this is the recent controversy over an web business-in-a-box, called site Build It. Some believe that at least one person has created a Site Build It affiliate review that wasn’t entirely accurate. The owner stepped forward to defend himself and he might be right about his product being on the up-and-up. But it would be up to any potential buyer to do his or her own research.

One of the most successful ways I’ve found to make money online is totally above-board and is also pretty easy. I make money with HubPages. HubPages — a community blogging site — makes it so easy to generate content-based ad revenue. The number of HubPages “hubs” you create is up to you. Each hub you create can make up to five types of revenue: Amazon and eBay items, any affiliate program you want to implement, Google AdSense ads and Kontera ads. You get the revenue from 60 percent of the page views that generate income and HubPages gets the other 40 percent. Affiliate programs are an exception to that rule though; One hundred percent of income generated by clicks from an affiliate link on a hub would belong to you. It takes a while to get good at building money-making hubs but the money you can generate over time makes it worth it.

There are many affiliate programs out there but I like to use RevResponse on my hubs, because people who sign up get great free information. When people click on links to any of the RevResponse publications or White Papers and qualify, you get paid. It’s that simple. Qualifying is not a shoe-in though, so that aspect is important to understand. To get more details about the RevResponse rules, check out this affiliate review.
