People always want to know how to make money the easy way online but there really is no way. It is also really hard if you have no idea what to do or what you are doing.

For me the easiest way I have made money online is through eBay! Being an eBay affiliate is the smartest thing I have done, the only thing I regret is not signing up with them sooner.

Here’s why it’s so easy to make money with eBay.

1. People trust eBay.
2. Most people already have an account eBay and will buy through you.
3. Setting up these types of sites are easy.
4. Great products! you can find almost anything you want on eBay.
5. Price: The price of items on eBay are a lot cheaper than in retail stores.

Making money with eBay websites.

So to make money with an eBay website all you have to do is set it up then drive traffic to the site. I am going to show you an easy free way to do it! You will need an “existing” eBay affiliate account because I think they are not accepting new affiliates at the moment.

1. Build a Blogger Blog. How to set up a free blogger blog?.
2. Add listings: How to setup free eBay listings.
3. Drive traffic: How to drive free website traffic to your sites.

Promote your new blog/s for 1 month then do it again! Rinse and repeat and make a ton of easy money with eBay.

Wordpress is my favorite web platform to build Blogs and Static websites on, the free themes are great, the free and paid plugins available are awesome, it’s easy to setup and the search engines tend to show these sites more.

Tools You Will Need.

1. FTP Client: This is the most important tool to have when building websites, you will use this for almost any site you make. I highly recommend “SMART FTP” it’s not free but it is the best I have used, you can use “filezilla” which is free if you don’t have the cash.

2. Themes: You should think about the layout of your site before you pick a theme, there are hundreds of free themes available just type “free wp theme” into google and you’ll see them all. Download the theme/s and save it/them to your computer for later.

3. Plugins: I use these two plugins every time on all of my blogs and I highly recommend you do to, the plugins are “Why Do Work Adsense“> (Allows you to add any javascript code and any type of content within your posts and pages on your new site) and “All in One SEO Pack“> (Helps you add keywords to your individual pages and more) download and save to your computer.

There are many other plugins to use but these two are the main ones, choose additional ones if needed.

How to Setup a Wordpress Blog

1. Install Wordpress: When you have a host that provides cPanel you can install Wordpress with one click of your button. Go to Fantastico, click “Wordpress” then fill out the details needed. Click install and your done. Hostgator offers cPanel, Highly Recommended.

2. Upload Plugins and Themes: Using your FTP client upload your theme you picked (unzip the files before you upload if needed) to “wp-content/themes/” and upload your plugins to “wp-content/plugins/”

-Now login to your WP Cpanel click “Plugins” then activate. With Wordpress 2.7.1 you can add plugins automatically in the “Plugins” section. Just click “Add New” plugin.
-To Activate your new theme click “Appearance”, click “themes” then click on the theme you uploaded.

3. Add Permalinks: I hate ugly url’s like this http://ursite.com/pg-01/ change your permalink structure so your links look like this http://ursite.com/catergory/post/ clean url’s usually get the top spots in the search engines.

To add Permalinks, Login to your WP Cpanel, go to “Settings” click “Permalinks” and add your custom permalinks, very simple.

4. Add Ping List: You can find a big list of sites to ping to here http://www.dailyblogtips.com/ping-list/ to add the list of ping sites to your blog you need to be logged in to your WP cPanel, click “settings” click “writing” scroll to the bottom then add all of the sites.

5. Add Posts and Pages: On your dashboard in your cpanel click “New Post” or “New Page” then add your pre-written content.

That’s it! This is the process I use for all of my Wordpress sites, follow the steps above and you will have your blog up in no time. Bookmark This Page.

What is the HopAd Builder?
The “new” HopAd Builder from clickbank is a FREE ad generating script which allows affiliates to make their own ads just like Bidvertiser, Yahoo and Google publishing services.

How do I make money?
You get paid per sale and not by the amount of clicks you receive. When someone buys then you make money, up to 75% commission depending on the product you are promoting.

Where do I find the HopAd Builder at Click Bank?
The HopAd Builder is within your ClickBank account, to find the HopAd builder to make your new ads for your websites, you need to “Login to your ClickBank account, click “Account Settings” then you will see “Hop Ad Builder” click it then choose the type of ad you want”.

What type of Ad units do they have?
There are two types of ads units you can choose from, you can make normal Text ads like this…

Or you can make Tabbed boxed ads like this…

How do I setup the Text Ads?

1. You choose the “TEXT” option (you will see this option as soon as you click “Hop Ad Builder” in your settings account.)
2. You add the keywords of the ads you want displayed (so if you have a site based on weight loss you would add weight loss as a keyword) then add your ClickBank ID and a Tracking ID (optional).

How do I setup the Tabbed Box Ads?
The boxed ad setup is a little different, you can have up to 3 tabs with your affiliate links within.

You need to…
Choose 3 Titles for each Tab.
Choose 3 sets of Keywords for each Tab.
Then ad your Affiliate ID and a Tracking Id.

3. Apearance Settings: Now you can choose the layout of the ad including colors, size, shape and so on.

Text Ad Appearance Settings.

Box Tab Appearance Settings.

Click “NEXT” then you will be able to grab the code…

Copy and Paste the Code: Now you copy the code and paste it into your web page, add it to a wp plugin or add it to your WP sidebar widgets. I use the WhyDoWork Adsense plugin on all of my Wordpress websites, I have added my code to that and it is working great! Remember that you can place the code anywhere you want.

If you are looking for an alternative to Adsense then this is it, good luck and I hope this post helps you.
