43. Vibrant Media
Don't bother unless your site has 500,000 page views of text based
content a month. If you have that readership, these are the guys that display
bubble box ads to underlined words on your site. Link
42. Text Link Ads
You can earn by sending advertisers to them or by selling spots on
your site. You must have a real site or blog to do this - nothing on a shared
domain (i.e. /blogspot). Link
40. ShareaSale
I've used them for a couple years for some banner advertising. They
are similar to Commission Junction and Linkshare however they seem to have
lower tiered companies with advertising offers. Link
39. Pheedo
If you have an RSS feed, run it through Pheedo. Like Feedburner,
they can include ads into your feed and if you really become large, advertisers
will pay a premium for you to show their ads. Link
38. Pay Per Post
They have advertisers that will pay you to write about their
products on your blog. Link
36. Microsoft Adcenter
Bid on keywords and Microsoft places your created ads then they are
searched for. This is similar to Google Adwords. You do not need a site for
this. Link
35. LinkShare
If you have a site, you can join Linkshare. Once enrolled for free,
you can choose companies whose ads are pertinent to your site. Companies have
the ultimate say on working with you. Like Commission Junction, there are a ton
of companies waiting to evaluate your site. Link
34. Jigsaw
It's a pretty flaky model but if you have a Rolodex full of good
contacts, you can sell them here. I can't make sense of it but it looks like
you get $0.10 per profile. Link
33. Indeed.com
Add their job board to your site. They then post jobs based on the
geographic location of visitors and the position types you pre-select. I tried
it and I they continually report that I sent 0 visitors and I know that's not
right. Nevertheless, I may have an isolated problem so they make the list. Link
32. ELance
Name gives it away. Programmers, Codes, Web Designers, Writers,
Editors, can look for freelance opportunities. Link
30. Eefoof
Think of it as YouTube + Flickr + Music. You add original content
and they pay you based on the visitors you attract. Link
29. CreamAid
For blogs only, advertisers provide you with a topic and you
write about it on your site. To do this, you have to install a flash widget
into your blog post. The more people you bring into the conversation through
the widget, the more you get paid. It's difficult to explain. Link
28. Commission Junction
If you have a site, you can join Commission Junction. Once
enrolled for free, you can choose companies whose ads are pertinent to your
site. Companies have the ultimate say on working with you. There are easily
over 1,000 companies to choose from here. Link
27. ClickSor
These are the guys that generate contextual ads on sites that show
up when you hover over a double-underlined word. Link
26. ClickNWork
Get paid $5-$150 per hour for basically doing freelance work on a
per-assignment basis. You have to pass a pretty tough test to get in. Link
25. ClickBank
Quickly becoming my favorite affiliate program. They have thousands
of things for you to advertise on your site. Link
24. Chitika
Their eMiniMalls service has shown great results for many Bloggers and
site owners. You choose a keyword and they show relevant products on your site
using a pretty unique interface. Link
23. CafePress
You provide a design, they'll toss it on a T-Shirt, Hat, etc. No
upfront costs. Get a free online shop and promote your products on your
website. Link
21. Azoogleads
Another ad program. They do have some decent companies lined up as
advertisers. You provide space, they'll provide an ad. Link
19. Amazon Affiliate Program
Easily create a store or shopping section on your site instead of
sending your visitors to Amazon. Amazon handles the shopping cart and
fulfillment. Link
18. AdBrite
Sell space on your site for text ads. This would work like the DLM
Marketplace you see on the right of my pages although I chose to manage it
myself. Link
17. Niche Store
Building a
Niche Store is a simple store development platform which enables you to create
content based sites that generate income through the eBay affiliate programs.
Pretty darn simple and increasingly popular site.
16. InfoLinks
Infolinks is probably the highest
paying option for your in-text advertising. On DLM, you will see underlined
links scattered throughout articles. Those are a function of Infolinks and
without disclosing too much, it's been a great source of income. Best is that
they accept all sizes of websites and blogs. Just sign up and begin.
15. Submit Websites or Blog Posts to Social Media Websites
Not very exciting work, but in high demand from bloggers and small
businesses. This involves setting up accounts on all of the social bookmarking
services and then bookmarking your clients’ websites or latest blog posts to
help them get more traffic. You may be competing against software that does
this, but in many folks’ opinions, it’s better to have a real person do it.
Even better is if you can goose your accounts with plenty of friends and become
a star on a few of the services; then every site you bookmark has higher
credibility and you can charge more. To get an idea of the social media sites
you will need to sign up for, start at socialmarker.com.
14. Create Twitter Backgrounds and E-Covers
Competition is stiff, but if you are a savvy designer, this is a
good way to pick up extra dollars. Even better, if you are an artist, this
is a good way to make your art skills pay off. Consider that every design will
need to have a reason why the customer should buy the book or follow that
person on Twitter to have a real impact. Twitter backgrounds, in particular,
are in hot demand right now.
13. Write an Ebook Targeted to People who Need Help
Alexis Dawes created a product called “Desperate Buyers Only”. I
interview her for an upcoming case study on Inspiring Innovators, where she
mentions that she is able to make up to $97 from ebooks as small as 12 pages.
The key? Finding people who are incredibly desperate for the information you
provide and then doing good research to find a real solution to their problems.
The result? Happy customers whose problem is solved, and money for you — a
win-win situation! Caveat: It may be tough to find a real desperate buyer niche
(Alexis reveals some in her case study). Here are some hints: When were you
last in a situation where information would have either saved you a lot of
money or a lot of pain? Has someone else close to you been in a situation where
they could have used information to avert pain? Think legal, medical, and
financial niches.
12. Videos to Promote Affiliate Products
Enjoy making silly videos? Even short, silly videos can sell
products online. Find an product worth promoting that has an affiliate program,
then target your video toward potential customers of that product. In your
video summary on YouTube, place your affiliate link for the product, and after
the video, do a 30-second still frame showing a short URL where people can buy
the product. If your video is funny, informative, or useful, you may sell some
products. Big tip: Try to promote a product that makes you a fair amount of
money for each sale, but doesn’t cost a whole lot for the potential customer.
11. Become a Virtual Assistant (VA)
There are entire books written on how to become a virtual assistant,
so this job is definitely worthy of more research. My advice: Focus on one
niche (I just hired Lisa Morosky of VA
for Bloggers, for instance.) Also, reach out to potential customers directly and
let them know what you can do for them instead of hitting up freelance web
sites. Finally, you may want to consider resources such as AssistU, which provides training for
up-and-coming virtual assistants.
10. Transcribe Auto Files
An easy job; doesn’t pay well, but also a quick way to make some
money. Sign up on eLance or oDesk to start, and/or advertise
your services in entrepreneur forums. Requires good hearing and a good command
of the English language. You may also want to invest in a foot pedal if you
plan to transcribe often. Make sure you know how to transcribe interviews before you start your job.
9. Sell Stock Photos
iStockPhoto is just one site that allows
you to sell stock photos; there are others. Before you decide to go crazy and
upload your whole album, take note of what’s selling well and try your hand at
doing something similar. iStockPhoto also works for those who know how to
render images; some of their most popular images were created on a computer!
Have three killer stock photos ready for iStockPhoto’s inspection; they will
want them when you sign up.
8. ShareCash
ShareCash is a site much like Uploading.com as it allows you to
upload files and then pays you as you get others to download your files. The
difference between ShareCash and other sites is that ShareCash will pay A LOT
more. ShareCash pays 300 to 600 dollars for every 1,000 downloads, where Uploading.com pays
around 5 dollars for every 1,000 downloads. What I am going to show you right
now is how you can grab a hold of ShareCash and make AT
LEAST 50 dollars a day from it!
7. Google Adsense
7. Google Adsense
Adsense is one of the easiest ways to start making money online.
With a very basic website about a correct niche and with just average traffic
coming to it, you will start to earn money. As you develop the site and bring
more traffic to it, an average Adsense monetized website in the right niche can
make anything between $500 and $1,000 every month with little work needed. But
you need to apply all the techniques properly.
Once you learn the basics and acquire some experience, you can repeat
this feat with many niche markets and increase the money you earn from Adsense
proportionately. But, as a beginner you have to start at the beginning. As you
learn and do more, building effective websites that make more and more money
will get easier and easier.
To make money with Adsense you need two things:
A niche website: Here is where you provide content for your
visitors and integrate Adsense.
Traffic to that website: This is what creates clicks on your Ads and make you money.
6. Online forums
Running a successful website or blog requires a lot of work and
time. There is SEO to be done, content to be created, back links to
be build and so on. A lot of webmasters and bloggers don’t have time to do all
of these tasks by themselves. So, they pay other people to do these tasks for
them.
You can find these webmasters and bloggers on popular internet
marketing and webmaster related forums. You can offer to do simple things
like commenting on related blogs with their name and link, submitting their
articles for them to hundreds of article directories, submitting their website
or blog to website and blog directories, building back links and tons
of other things that are essential for running a successful site. You can make
a decent amount of money doing these tasks.
5. Selling on eBay
I know you probably are tired of hearing about this old trick. But,
the truth is that eBay is still the biggest auction site in the world, and
thousands of items are sold on it very single day. And thousands of people just
like me and you are making money selling those items.
You don’t have to have thousands of dollars to invest in buying wholesale products to sell on eBay and make money. You can simply start by selling your old unused items. You might think no one would pay for an item that you have, but always remember, one man’s trash as anther’s treasure. After a while getting your feet wet, you can scale it up and maybe offer to sale your friend and family’s unwanted items for a small fee. Most of them will be happy to pay you a commission for getting rid of things they didn’t want or need anymore, and giving them money for it as well.

4. Paid Surveys
One of the best and easiest ways to make money online without
a website is getting paid to do online surveys. It’s as simple as that! First
you do some research and find real and legitimate paid surveys sites and sign
up with them. They will send you survey invitations through email, which you
can complete and get paid for. These surveys are done on behalf of companies
and manufacturers who want to know what people think of their products and
services.
Most of these online survey take anywhere from 10 to 45
minutes to complete. And depending on the length of the survey, you can expect
to get paid anywhere from $1 to up to $75 per survey. One thing to keep in mind
is that paid survey industry is full of scams. You need to be careful not to
fall for any survey scams. The most important thing to remember is that all and
I mean 100% of legitimate paid survey sites are free to join.
3. Amazon mechanical Turk
Murk is part of the almighty Amazon Corporation. On AMT you can get
paid for doing small tasks that cannot be done by machines and computers.
These are tasks that can only be done by humans, such as distinguishing the
diffidence between 2 seemingly identical images, or listening to a 30 second
audio and converting it to text and etc. These tasks as they are called on Turk
don’t pay much. Most of them pay in small amounts like $0.25 per task. But,
these tasks usually don’t take more than 20 seconds or so to complete, and
there are thousands of them. Of course, there are tasks that pay as much as $40
per task, but, such tasks require much more time.
2. Writing Articles
Fresh and quality content is what pulls in visitors to a website,
which determines the success or failure of that website. So, fresh and useful
content is always on demand. You can make good money writing articles online.
There are hundreds of websites and blogs that are willing to pay for good
articles. The best thing about making money writing online is that you don’t
need anything and you can start right away, and in most cases the results are
almost instantaneous.
You can get paid anywhere from $5 to $50 and even higher
for each article you write. Best way to find online writing jobs is through
freelancing sites like Elance.com, Guru.com and online forums such as
warriorfourm.com and digitalforum.com.
1. Fiverr.com
Fiverr is a website where you can offer to do anything for only $5.
And since it’s so cheap, a lot of people agree to pay for it. There are people
on Fiver that make money by offering to take a simple picture of a tree or
flower, drawing a cartoon, singing a song and recording it, telling tourists
where to go and what to see in their city, and many other thing you can
imagine. You would be surprised to see what kinds of things people are willing
to pay for on Fiverr. Simply sign up for free and ad as many services as you
would like. In return for finding you clients and costumers, $1 out of every $5
you make, goes to Fiverr.com as their commission. It is so easy to make money
