CPM means you get paid a certain amount for every 1000 times an ad is viewed
Commission -- means you get paid a percent of what a visitor buys.  This is usually a losing proposition
Membership Site -- you can charge for access to your material
Sponsors -- companies may sponsor your site if you target their demographics
