How does one make money on the internet?
Prompted by a news story about a young man radicalized by being lured into conspiracy theory sites sought to make money on his path to ... whatever...
... not to mention reports that Russian sources of disinformation made money in the process ... there must be millions of examples.
And there must be some connection between the outrageous and the individual who has a blog, posts a video, or some other offering.
But how is that converted into money? I'm just curious, not looking to learn how, unless somebody has a really good idea....

Since I am in dire need of money right now, I've tried to sell my body. The only "currency" that has been offered is something called a "Laff". Not sure what country that has that currency.

Lead are: lets say you put up a blog on how to save on car insurance. You put up a link saying, "Get your best deal on car insurance by downloading our free book. just give your email address."
The email address is then sold as a lead to people selling car insurance, cars, all sorts of stuff.

Oh, there are millions to be made in Lead Gen (which is what it is called in the industry Lead Gen stands for Lead Generation). It is a huge industry. Nearly all the "free" games and quizzes and stuff you see on the internet are tied to lead gen activities. I have friends that have made millions from Lead Gen businesses.

The fastest way to make money is to fill a page with ads, then give it a "click-bait" title and a short bullshit article. When someone clicks one of the ads, you get money in your account with the ad company. Typically you withdraw the money once a month, or they deposit it in your bank account.
You gotta be inventive with those titles. Sensational headlines involving celebs or political features get a lot of curiosity seekers. Also, LISTS. People love to read lists.
Promote your fluff ad pages on social media. There are companies that will do this for a fee. It's all about generating clicks.
Make a new page and promote it every few days. Keep them clicks coming.
