Oh WOW, how will I answer this question? What is the best way to make money online? I bet you could get a ton of different answers here. Why? Because there are many different ways to make money online.
Some will tell you that you don’t need a website. Some will say the only way is to use funnels. Yet others are here to tell you the best approach is to make easy online money.
A lot of it depends on if you are a beginner or a well-seasoned entrepreneur.
I do have my recommendations as to the best way. Although I do want to talk about the other ways so you can make an informed decision, and maybe I should add to this question at the end to include what is the least expensive way?

What Is The Best Way To Make Money Online Without A Web Site?
For you, who are beginners, a website is a way to drive free traffic or people to your work online. And free traffic is money in the bank. But let’s move onto the no website concept.
YouTube
Some say you can make money strictly from YouTube posting useful videos. You will get paid for the ads on each video you produce. YouTube takes some work and time. There are many hurdles to jump over before you begin to make money.
YouTube videos are a good way to make money for some. The niche of Make Money Online is a highly competitive line. And you need to learn how to make a good video and reach the crowds.
I took a reasonably inexpensive course for $359 to get over my fear of making videos. Yes, I did say that! The course I chose is one of the better-priced classes, and then I still had to purchase the equipment—things like a microphone, a good video camera, and a video editing tool.
Create Your Own Product
You could also make your products like E-Books. Again it will take some training and time along with the purchase of some E-book creating apps.
You will need to write the content for your E-Books or hire someone to do it for you. All of this is time and money.
Funnels
A funnel is a copy that draws the reader in when you offer a free product. Then you lead them to another page where you have created a product to sell to your reader for $9-$35, and when they buy or not buy, it leads them to another page for an upsell.
I like funnels, but the only real company out there today that actually takes you through the process is ClickFunnels. And that is a living fortune. It will cost you $97 a month up to thousands.
The owner of this company is Russell Brunson. He is intelligent, and he knows his stuff, but to make a funnel work, you will need to invest quite a large sum of money. I know how much the program costs because I tried his method.
Quick And Easy Money
When you find this type of way to make money, turn, and run for, they are known as the scammers. A person will set up a company and then advertise it with a lot of hype. They take your money and never return your emails or calls.
I have had a few companies scam me over the years. And I have written about many many programs that are scams.
Actually, I wrote a couple of articles reviewing James Wendell and Jason Fulton a year ago. I still get so many who fall for these scams. These guys are convincing.
It is these types of scams that non-gurus are setting up without a website to take the hard-earned money of people like you and me.
OK, so we have talked about three ways to make money without a website. One was unethical, one was highly expensive, and the other was YouTube. That was a good way, but you also need to have training that will cost a chunk of money to prepare.
Now let’s talk about what are the best ways to make money online with a website.
What Does a Website Require?
The first thing is a website requires is a host. There are many excellent hosts out there today, such as WIX, Bluehost, Gatorhost, and many many more. I have not worked with WIX or Gatorhost, but I have worked with Bluehost And Godaddy.
You can take a look at my Godaddy review if you want more information about my experience with Godaddy.
If you are a beginner wanting to start an online business, you may be a bit lost right now. Just hang in there with me, and I will explain just a bit for you. For those of you with experience and looking to change host, here is my #1 recommendation.
A hosting company is someone who allows you to park your domain and website at their place. You manage your site but pay a host to help you reach the world. The company you choose will need to offer speed, security, bandwidth, and webspace.
Some hosting companies offer all of these services included in the price, and some require an extra fee.
You now have a place to put your website, which is a hosting company. But maybe you don’t have a website yet, and you don’t even know much about setting one up. Each one of these hosting companies does have tutorials and information in the form of forums and online discussions.
Wix does have a relatively easy way to set up your website. All websites are easy to set up today. It is managing them that takes training to understand.
I'll Get To The Point!
OK, I know I am supposed to be telling you what the best way to make money online is, but I just keep going on. And if I go down this rabbit hole, it could take forever to get to the point.
So let me just spill the beans and let you know that My #1 recommendation for making money online is Wealthy Affiliate. And let me tell you why WA is the best.
I’m going to give it to you straight. Wealthy Affiliate has everything you need to set up your website and manage it in one easy payment of $49 a month. You heard me right. Only $49 a month.
There are other companies that offer website creation and are also reputable. But WA is the only one that offers everything you need in one place for one low cost per month. Two of those companies are Affilorama and Legendary Marketer. You can take a look at my review on each company to see for your self.
And there is one more place that you can take courses that will teach you how to begin your online business known as Udemy.
What Does Wealthy Affiliate Offer That Makes Them Superior?
I do have an extensive review that will give you a lot of information on Wealthy Affiliate. But I also want to tell you a bit here before you go look at the review.
You will receive step-by-step training on how to set up your website, how to activate the essential parts like plugins.
It’s not just getting a site up and running that is needed. Your website will require security and speed, which are both included in your monthly payment.
I took a screenshot of my landing page that has the list on it and placed it here for you to see.
Now you can see a clear picture of all Wealthy Affiliate offers. Some may make sense, and some may not. But the bottom line is most companies will charge extra for different parts of the list, like the SSL certificate, virus protection, and amplified speed.
The Best Is Yet To Come
Now, wait, I haven’t given you the best news yet. You can step inside the platform of Wealthy Affiliate Free. Yes Free. All you do is sign up here and check it out. No money required, no credit card to sign up. Wealthy Affiliate will not have any financial information at all.
When you do step inside, you put a photo of your choice, a short bit about you in the bio, and set some goals. You are on your way after that. You can then begin your training. For 7 days, you can have access to 90% of the entire platform and take the first 10 lessons. These are full training sessions on setting up a website, managing it on the backend, learning SEO so people can find your site, and choosing a passion for promoting it to the world.
Breakdown Of Training
Each session is taught by Kyle, the co-owner of Wealthy Affiliate. He teaches you step-by-step how you can begin your business to make money online.
Le’t take a look at each one.
WOW! Now you have a website, and you have learned how to get ranked on Google, Bing, and Yahoo. You have come so far, and yet there is so much more to learn.
Now I have the answer for you as to what is the best way to make money online. It is with Wealthy Affiliate and with a website. The reason is the training you find here and the longevity of a website. You can create and build it and watch it bring in a passive income.
I have two websites that I have created here at WA. There is no way I could have done all of this without Wealthy Affiliate and the training.
Not to mention, it is the least expensive way to set it all up and continue to learn. I said earlier that it is free to start. What you just saw is the first 10 lessons that you can take on your free membership within the first 7 days.
Once you have completed the 7 days, there is so much more to learn and experience. You can continue with all of the training and watch your business grow. And if you chose to do this within the first 7 days, I will give you a special discount, a 59% discount on your first month. That first month will only cost you $19 and then only $49 every month after that.
There is no other platform that offers everything you need in one place for one low price as Wealthy Affiliate does. It is my #1 choice and the best way to make money online.
NO Risk, NO Obligation, NO Credit Card Needed!

Are you a beginner looking to make money online? I would love to hear from you. Please share your experiences with us and feel free to ask all questions in the comment section below.
Honestly, this is a very thorough look at what it takes to generate money in the online arena. I personally have looked at several different online offers, ones that claim to do training and support for you, and they never delivered on what they promised. Is there something that sets this apart from other sites that make the same or similar claims?
Why would I, why should I, try this site after having been scammed so many times before?
Now that is an excellent question. First I want to point out that nothing is perfect and everything we do in life requires effort. But the thing that sets Wealthy Affiliate apart from other sites is the incredible training and support for a very low price. WA just raised their premium member rates but they are still the lowest in the market. I too have been scammed many times and am shy of every platform out there but I have been a member of this platform for 2 years now. I have never come across any hosting training platform that gives so much. All you have to do is follow the training, ask questions, grow, and learn. But as with anything in life you will get out of it what you put into it. Creating an online business is not a “done for you business.” It is a business that you create and put the work into. I mean would we really want it any other way. When we can be proud of what we create we have the motivation to move forward. One final note, no other platform has me as your personal coach and mentor. I am here to assist you in any way I can.
Excellent points, I know that I enjoy the fruits of my labour more than when something is handed to me. You sound very convinced and passionate about this group Wealthy Affiliate. I imagine that I have nearly nothing to lose and it sounds as if I might gain quite a bit if I check it out. Thank you for your prompt response and well-put answer.
Frank, It is my pleasure to assist you. I am here for you when you need me. Always!
