Different Ways to Make Money Online
There seem to be endless ways of making money online. I never ask myself WILL this make me any money, just COULD this make me money. There are examples of all these ways below.
- Get Paid To Click (PTC): Get paid 1c or 2c a time to click on websites, Great for Stay-At-Homers
- Get Paid to Fill in Surveys: This is tough until you get a reputation as a reliable survey filler. Great for Stay-At-Homers
- Advertise on your Website/Blog: This is growing all the time Adsense, Banners, Affiliate Links
- Get Paid to Blog: This is huge now Smorty, Widget Bucks
- Cashback: Earn money/commission every time you spend money on the Web/High Street. You really ought to be doing this!
- Affiliation: Earn money/commission by getting people to sign up other websites or buy off eBay or become an affiliate themselves (perhaps the best way to earn money)
- eBay: Still the best way for newbies to develop their Sales & Marketing skills
- Virtual Stores: You appear to have your own website selling health foods or audio-books etc. In fact a website cookie is used to remember that a customer came from your link
- Get Paid To: You have to complete offers, sometimes get friends to sign up. You can win say iPod or earn cash. Completing offers is usually free but sometimes to have to remember to cancel at the end of your free period. Discretion advised.
- Casinos: The Casino websites offer very attractive bonuses to join. They require you however to make a minimum number of transactions before you can withdraw your money. Sometimes just by playing red all the time in Roulette you can meet this condition and still have a profit. You must however read the small print as there are often other conditions/catches.
- Sell Domains: Buy and sell useful domain names. Buy ones that have expired or use a domain name generator website to create new ones. Sell on eBay of specialist websites. Sometimes better to create a simple website to go with it
- Get Paid to SEARCH : This is New and Hot as Google and Microsoft battle it out for domination. Effectively you will get a share of any revenue generated when you use their Search Engines. This is going to big even though I've only earned $3.96 so far!
- Display Amusing Viral Videos Put funny videos on your site and earn 10-20 cents per view; can add up with time.
