To make money on Internet you need something to sell! Pretty obvious.

And, you've probably read somewhere, many times, that in order to make 'most' money, you need your own product to sell. Right? Yes! Well, maybe.

What does this have to do with you and Internet selling?

Everything!

A transition then gradually took place, with free search engines now either requiring:

a:) Payment for listing b:) A customized interpretation of pay per click model
