Can internet marketers make money without selling any products or services?

Of course money can be made without selling product google adsense is one way of doing it.

Now on net so much of content is available that, fake content for the sake of selling product gets rejected in seconds of time. Quality content is the only way to go I feel.

Sure you can make money by selling your sites (flipping VRE, or Virtual Real Estate) as one method...so long as you don't count the website you're flipping to be a product. I just read on Flippa.com how the #1 website for "Farmville Secrets" - one of the top free games on Facebook - sold for $22,000 or so.

That site was as ugly as a windshield after a locust invasion...a day after a tornado. Yet it sold for $22k...Not sure that qualifies for your question, but it's a thought to consider.

Another way to make money online is to use various PPC ads as a publisher, and Google AdSense is only one way to do so. There are other venues, like Konterra, Chitika (however you spell it! ), Yahoo!

, MSN ad network...

Then there are CPA networks, where a reader would fill out a squeeze page, or take some other defined action, and technically there needn't be a transaction to get paid.

A top form of CPA is pay-per-lead...and they're not the same.

In answer to the sub-question: yes. I think that's a false dichotomy, as the two go hand-in-hand.

Just ask eBay, Amazon, or peopleofwalmart.com -- which, it is very debatable whether or not that last one is quality...it's pretty funny!

One last thought: you can develop a great website, drive traffic to it, and then provide space for advertisers and sell the ad space yourself. This way you determine your own terms.

This is how the blogpire.com fellow made millions in his twenties, I believe it was...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
