Please remember that if you join any of these programs out of moral values don't click on your own adds as this leads to a bad R.O.I for advertisers and also because companies are very strict against fraudulent clicks and may terminate your account immediately.

•Affiliate/Reseller Programs - These programs need a lot of time to generate money, you should know how to present them and also how to target right niche. I wouldn't recommend this if you are a beginner to online marketing. But once you website becomes successful you will eventually discover money behind such kind of marketings.

•Newsletter Advertising - I would think about this only if a site was popular with a minimum of 100 members. This comprises of periodic updates with useful articles and finally selling some ad space in newsletter. Again, this requires a lot of effort - keeping newsletter clean, easy to read and targeting ads properly will encourage people to view ad out of interest.

All these venues point out how important it is to have a website in order to make money online. Other forms of Advertising like, link exchanges will open up if you have a good Google PageRank. You can be paid for putting a Text link on your site and rates depend on your PageRank and person who is interested in sellling

Starting a website aiming only for monetary benefits would not be such a nice idea. Do something that you like and enjoy. This way your dedication towards site will be genuine and it will help you in its overall betterment.
