GO DIE, MORIS JACOB!!! NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE CHEATING!!! (edit: wow he got reported!)

So back to you. I know you don't want to hear this, but a site like this is no longer what people want, with Photobucket, Flickr, Facebook, etc. You need to have something about your site that makes it either what people want but don't have or what people will want in the near future. This is because you've been beaten to the idea. When you can introduce a concept no popular sites already feature, you can have much more of a successful site.

To advertise, you can contact leading websites for ads. This may seem long-shot, but if people see it, they'll know about it and can choose if they are interested. If they don't see the ad, they won't know about it. Google is one of the best at having sponsored results.

I appreciate how you didn't give us the link. That helps quite a bit, because then we know you aren't just posting this as an ad.

One of the best ways that I've been advertising my online business is with the help of video. Believe it or not, video is quickly becoming one of the more popular media read by web site browsers. I recommend making a short video that describes your online business and uploading to Youtube or other popular social media sites.

In addition to using video you may also consider using some basic pay-per-click advertising. In my experience it takes a little while to make your ads profitable but the good news is that over time you can dramatically improve your return on investment.

PPC advertising is very powerful and cost efficient compared to other media. PPC can get very expensive if you don't know what you are doing. PPC is extremely targeted, you can target geographic, demographic or you can narrow down and target particular city or town.

A few techniques are

* Submit Press Releases
* Write relevant articles and submit to popular article submitting websites.
* Write Blogs
* Provide RSS/XML Feeds
* Submit to Social Networking Sites
* Word of mouth also works. Try to tell your friends and their other friends.
* You may also try advertising through banners.
* Exchange links with other good relevant sites.

Hello there, thank you for your question.

An online business is quite easy to start, anybody and everybody can start an online business. You can also decide to be an affiliate marketer which is quite similar to having an online business. What I advise is you go to clickbank.com and choose a product which interests you and which you think will sell quite well. When you sell the product you get a hefty 50 - 70% commission!

I wouldn't say it's easy to make money online, however with persistence and the right knowledge, anyone can make it.

I myself used top class resources to help me earn money online.

I wish you luck in your venture! Rogier.
