Hello Mariya_maria,
I firmly believe that if one wants to make "good" money online; I am talking about the kind of money that would sustain you on a monthly basis, handle expenses a normal 9-5 job would, you would need to be doing the following:
1. Find few good affiliate programs that have a reasonable payout of say $35-$50 per referral. The products in these affiliate programs must also be in demand and reasonably priced so that people can afford to buy them.
2. Create your own digital product and create an affiliate program for it. I am not talking about eBooks. I am talking about software utilities that people would use to accomplish some task on their computer or enhance their computing experience. The beauty of having your own product(s) is that you will have an army of affiliates marketing your products for you. In other words, you pay not advertising cost. Make sure you reward your affiliates handsomely for their efforts. I recommend a 40%-50% commission. You do not have to be a programmer to have software products created. You can go to rentacoder.com or scriptlance.com to get ideas of what types of products other people are having programmers create for them. You higher a programmer to create your product for you. As an example, 3 years ago I created a "not-so-good" software application that I sold for $29.95. I offered affiliates a 40% commission. I had 5 good affiliates. I was pulling in $6500/month for over 2 years with that product until my competition came out with a better product. This illustration shows the power of product ownership and having an affiliate program for it.
3. Build an opt-in mailing list. Many people underestimate this one. Imagine having your own private 5000 member email list to can send offers to? There are many effective ways to build an opt-in list. Check out this link for starters:

4. Another great way to generate a good monthly income is to create a software Download Directory like the ones you see at
http://www.freedownloadscenter.com and
http://www.freewarefiles.com. The idea here is to populate these directories with RegNow trial downloads. People download these trials and if they purchase you get a commission. Further, you can monetize these types of websites with Google Adsense. Notice the Google pageranks of the two sites mentioned above. If you ever achieve such Pagerankings, you can sell advertising. You can also use these types of websites to build your mailing list by creating a newsletter. The problem, however, is that it is difficult to find quality scripts for this type of venture. Fortunately, I have written a powerful script that makes having such a "professional looking" directory possible. It is due to be released in 14 days. (I building the website).
5. Another idea is to create a "professional looking" link directory. These types of websites, if done correctly can be, in time, very profitable. Why? Because you can charge link submitters a fee for submitting regular links and featured links. You can charge them a fee to submit regular articles and featured articles. You can also let link submitters submit a reciprocal link (link back to your site) for no-fee. This will assist in boosting your Google Pagerank. As your link directory grows (in the number of links) and in popularity, you can increase the price of link submissions and even sell advertising on your website. The key here is to do it right: Purchase a quality link directory script and template. People will be more than happy to pay you to include their link in your directory. An example of a quality link directory can be found at

There are many many other ways to make money online inexpensively. More so than the monetary expense is the expense of your time. Most successful Internet marketers are dedicated and possess the drive to make money.
I have been writing an ebook that goes into all of the above (and more) in much more detail. The ebook will also include videos. My goal is to have it completed no later than May 15 for anyone interested. I will announce it in the appropriate section of this forum when it is ready.
But the bottom line: I know these things work because I have been doing them for years. None of these things are really new. It is just many people do not know how to implement.
