One way to make money online for free is to sell things. You can find things to sell through affiliate marketing. This simply means that you promote the products that somebody is selling and for every sale that comes through by way of your site — you get paid!

These are some of the tried and true Affiliates:

Adbrite
Auction ads
Fair Ads Network
Google Adsense
Widgetbucks

After registering for these affiliates, all you need to do is drive traffic to your site. Easy? Well more like “easier said than done”.

But before driving traffic into your site, you need to know what products currently sells. Research the trend on what’s currently “hot”. If you decide on what product you’ll sell, go to Clickbank to find those products. Note: it is very important that you try to promote only one product when you are starting in affiliate marketing so you can focus on that product more before taking on another product that sells.

So now it’s time to drive traffic to your site. You can do this by paying for it OR by doing it the free way. I’ll talk about doing it for free here.

1. Create a lens on squidoo.

Basically a lens on squidoo is your collection of similar things on one subject that you think describes that subject well. It’s sort of a bookmark but better. A lens is like a shoebox where you put things that is a nice reference for that particular subject. More on this at Squidoo’s FAQ . So how will this drive traffic to your site? Let’s say you are quite expert on safe home computing and you write an article about it. You can create a squidoo lens about safe computing practices and include your own article in that. When people look for things like that there’s a high chance that they will find your article.

2. Writing keyword-optimized articles.

Research and gather keywords that are related to the products that you are promoting. Write an article for each keyword and make sure that it gets to prominent pages of search engines.

3. Create a report.

Create a short report which talk about the topic or product that you are promoting. Use free source to convert it to a PDF file, and distribute it for free on the Internet.

4. Forum postings.

Join relevant forums and include a signature to your affiliate product pages. Make sure that you do not spam but contribute informative ideas to the forum.

5. Classified ads.

Post free ads talking about the product that you are promoting on popular classified sites such as Craigslist.
These are just some free ways to drive traffic to your affiliate product pages. The quality of the product that you are promoting also plays a big part on whether you will get any sales out of it.
