what do those advertisements mean by make money online?

[Ricky Quinlan]

Stay away from such links, they are all scams usually.

To generate an online income, you need to develop some new skills, there are no shortcuts.

2 quick tips for you.

Check out Clickbank. com, you can promote digital products, with commission payouts ranging from 25% - 75%. All genuine and legit. You will have to learn how to market those products though and learn some basic web design and development skills.

Secondly you can promote physical products for Amazon. Google "Amazon Associates", again you will have to learn to market those products.

Stay away from the get rich quick banners. If it seems to good to be true, then it usually is.

You can make money online, but it's not a job and you're not going to make a lot really quickly. All online jobs are a scam and any sites asking you to pay to join to make money are scams. Most ads online are, sadly, scams claiming you can make thousands. A good idea is to look for reviews for sites to see how many people have given the site good reviews. Generally the more you do online and the more time you spend online the more you can make, but it will a bit of extra cash, you won't become rich from it.

The main way many people make money online is through their own website or web pages. Of course, if you've no clue how to make a website that is not the best option, but there are still other options. For more information check out the links below.

All these sites are 100% free to join and use! Some even give you a bonus just for joining. How they work is by advertisers paying them for advertising their product/services and the sites all give a percentage of that money to you.
