Life is not easy my friends, it is a constant struggle to acquire happiness and financial independence. Only two generations ago our grandparents were working the land but today we have an opportunity that was unthinkable of only 15 years ago; to earn real money from the Internet. Yes do you say but apart from Internet marketing gurus selling their "secrets" and large budget multimedia companies, is there really anyone making money on the Internet?

That's where ebizexperiment.com comes in. I have long ago wanted to clear all suspicions and see for myself and all of you guys what making money on the Internet REALLY is like and what it entails. I will answer common questions that many of us have, I will review all possible and impossible ways to make money online and will do that without the bull. This blog was created to experiment the world of e-business, and to share this information in journal/diary style with the average Joe out there, or anyone else interested to follow a success story(or failure) in the making! And by the way, I consider myself an average guy; I have very basic computer and Internet skills. But rest assured, I have learned a great deal on the ways of making money from the Internet (or at least I think I do!) so now it is just a matter of applying what I have learned so far.

Yet I am described by others as a perfectionist and I have to admit that I have high expectations for myself, but that does not guarantee any success. I am probably at the same stage as you guys which is we don't make much or any dollars at all on the Internet. I am looking forward to see you get active in here by joining the community and dropping a comment, because you don't know how much I enjoy reading them! This blog is addressed as much to beginners and skeptics as it is for those already making a living online, everyone will find something interesting fun and informative to read. If you'd like to keep track of new posts you can subscribe for free - I'll put new stuff once or twice per week.

When I created this blog, one of it's goals was to create an atmosphere in which every-day normal people and wannabe Internet-entrepreneurs would get a place of reference and a realistic feeling of what making money online is like and what it entails. In respect to that statement, even advertisements will have to pass through the high quality standards of this site, meaning that advertised services or products will need to be useful for our readers.

So want to make money online? Well here I've put up a list of some of the most productive advertising networks and affiliate programs to monetize your Blog/website. Keep in mind that these affiliates themselves don't make you money - they are tools to best monetize your traffic. In other words, what's worth money is your traffic - once you have some traffic to your website then it's a matter of seeing what affiliates work best for you to monetize that traffic. This page will remain updated with some of the best publisher networks and affiliate programs out there.

Performancing ads is mainly for 125*125 button ads, which has slowly become the ad format of choice for bloggers who want to make money online. Publishers get a rather poor 60% revenue share and free placement in their large marketplace. Signing up is free - in fact I only suggest you sign up to get listed in their marketplace and gain some advertiser exposure this way, but I cannot recommend selling your ad space through them. The oio publisher (mentionned above) is a far better choice.

Bidvertiser is a ppc ad network in which advertisers with the highest bid get your ad spot. Apparently, some keywords generate more revenue than with the competing adsense network but you'd have to test it on your own niche. Another advantage is that you only have to make 10$ to request payment whereas it's 100$ minimum with google adsense.

Chitika offers a variety of ad formats that are compatible with adsense. However their most popular ad concept is their "e-minimalls" - they are quite unique in concept and get high click-through rates. Chitika is definitely worth considering.

You've probably already heard of Adbrite, it's a well established company. Publishers keep 75% of income share and there is a variety of ad formats to choose from. Like I said earlier with performancing ads - no need to use them, just sign-up to put your site on their marketplace and gain advertiser exposure because it's free to join anyway.

Oio publisher is a simple and easy way to cut down the middleman in ad sales and keep 100% of the income. Oio is a wordpress plugin(works with blogger too) that automates the ad buying process for you. Advertisers can order, pay and upload their ads directly on your own blog - the only thing you have to do is approve the ad (of course you set your own prices). To get Oio publisher you need to pay for a one-time fee of 47$ to get the plugin - and in adition you get a lifetime free placement on their publisher/advertiser marketplace. It is one of the best investments you can make as it's easy to catch-up the money you paid for and more.

The widget that gives you bucks when someone clicks it. I haven't had time to try it out just yet but I see some high profile websites and blogs using it. You get paid as soon as your widget gets clicked. Widgetbucks works well with shopping related sites, youtube video sites or more general topic sites. Widgetbucks is compatible with adsense meaning that you're allowed to run it on the same page as adsense ads. Some people report widgetbucks earn more than adsense, others report less - it's up to you to find out.




The Pepperjam network is a fine little affiliate network, and it's also being used here on this blog. There is a multitude of products in all categories that you can promote either with text link ads, buttons, banners and any other way you can think of. While the Pepperjam network is of the newer affiliates - it has some contracts with large companies like ebay and many other major companies and quality brand products. The Pepperjam network was also the first affiliate marketing company that I joined and what's fun also is that unlike other affiliate network companies, you do NOT have to speak over the phone with their representatives in order to get started . When I applied for them my blog had no traffic - but they still accepted me in less than a day I think, making it quick and easy to get started. Signing up is free of course...and recomended!
