Amazon Associates

Each product bought through your Amazon links give a commission to you. It doesn't require high volume traffic to achieve results, either. I started making money with all this system once I only had 1000 hits per month on my site. If you love Amazon, you'll love their associate's plan.
Etsy
If you're crafty (and I suggest this in several way, wink wink), you'll appreciate Etsy. Handcrafted items will be the bread and butter here. Lots of individuals make decent
side money on the website, which is essentially an EBay for crafters and artists. Set up a sellers account with Etsy, and you also'll be requested to create your virtual storefront and put up no less than 5 goods for sale.
As soon as you have this down, you'll be a budding Etsy entrepreneur. Offer excellent quality to your own consumers, and they'll often return. Many individuals will willingly pay a premium for quality handcrafted designs. Etsy (like EBay and Amazon) takes a cut off the very best for selling items through their site. PayPal takes another reduction, and you will need to be cautious with taxes on all earnings, therefore be diligent while establishing your online business.
