Some internet advertising pros are actually making all their income from signing on with multiple affiliate programs/Websites. They don't even have a product of their own! This isn't a strategy for beginners, so take sometime to checkout different programs before committing to this option.

2. Use targeted advertising with Google AdSense

Google AdSense program allows you to make money advertising on your Website by placing targeted text/banner ads generated by Google on your Web-pages. The ads appear in rectangular boxes running down the side or across the bottom of a web page with the words "(Ad-choices) or Ads by Google" over the-top. These ads are paid for by businesses that use Google pay-per-click(PPC) program, (Ad-Words). These ads reflect the content on your Website, so if your Website sells a Ebook on how to recognize authentic baseball cards, for e.g. , the ads that appear on your Website might be for baseball card retailers.

As a Google AdSense publisher, you earn money every time a visitor to your Website clicks on one of the AdWords-ads on your Website. If you're getting a lot of targeted traffic & if these visitors are interested in the products being advertised, this could mean a healthy new source of extra online income for you.

Best of all, Google AdSense is free to join. Its easy too. Google does all the work of finding relevant advertisements for your Website, you have to just collect the payments.

A word of warning: 
Google ads don't work for all Websites, so if you add them, be sure to test them. You don't want to lose credibility with your target market.

3. Approach companies directly to ask if you can advertise for them

If your Website is already getting lots of targeted traffic, try looking for Websites that offer complementary products & target the same niche market as you're doing. For instance, if you own a technology business, you could approach a computer shop to see if they'd like to advertise their new PC configuration on your Website.

 An ad on your Website would also be seen as an implicit recommendation of their product & it could send a ton of technology enthusiast to their Website & the more successful your advertisements are, the more you can charge from them.

Be sure to contact potential internet advertising partners in a professional manners. Contact them on the Cell-phone instead of just Emailing them so your communication is more professional & personal. Be ready to supply them with information about your business & your Websites traffic. 

The more information you can give them, the more likely they'll be to consider your offer & above all, make sure they have a solid reputation. If you make a partnership with a questionable(unknown) company, their activities could reflect badly on your business.
