Help other people advertise their products

There are always vendors on the web who are looking for new and better ways to advertise their products. If you already have a website or blog that is doing well with plenty of fans and traffic, then chances are such vendors will want you to host their product ads. You could even review or recommend them to people, but make sure you pick products and brands that are established and related, but not competing. You will get paid depending on how many people click on the affiliate links for the products.

Make a topical hub based on your expert knowledge

If there’s something you’re better at than most other people, then you can use it to your advantage. There are sites like Google Knol, Squidoo and HubPages that will pay you for your expertise. Whether you want to share your knowledge on your job or your hobby, this is a great market to do so. You can get locked into a secure niche, and then obtain resources to help you from all over the web. You will get paid depending on the ad revenue and affiliate fees you help generate.

Blogging for cash

Another easy way to make money online is by creating your own blog. Sites such as Blogger only require that you have an account before you get blogging. It also automatically activates Google AdSense, which you can use to earn money every time someone clicks on a link to a product or service that is on your blog. To earn as much cash as possible this way, you have to concentrate on generating as much traffic to your blog as possible. As long as you write well, pick interesting topics, and tell your friends about it, this shouldn’t be a problem. You can also have affiliate links to products on your blog site in order to generate money through them.

Get paid to write articles

A simple way to earn money online is to write articles for the many sites that require them. Sites like Associated Content or Helium are ones that ‘pay by performance’ which means that the more views an article gets, the more the writer gets paid. The key to making money this way is to have a knack for writing and use it to come up with engaging, unique articles. There are also sites that require you to write articles for specific topics, which can earn you a paycheck of around $200. As you become more established at this, the rate is likely to increase.

Ideas for making money online

Since most of us have the Internet right at our fingertips, there is no reason not to take advantage of it in terms of moneymaking. There are countless opportunities for you to make some extra pocket money through online businesses. It’s not as complicated as it used to be either. You don’t have to know anything about websites, marketing or products. The most you need is to look for the right sites and then provide them with what they need in terms of advertising revenue or your expertise.
