One of the best ways to earn some extra cash online is by taking
surveys. There are many companies that need consumer opinions on a wide
range of topics, and many of them will pay you money or with points you
can redeem for cash or prizes. It's easy and free to signup and the more
surveys you take, the more money and prizes you will get. It just takes
a small investment of your time.
Writing
If you have decent writing skills, there are many publishers and content
distributors who need content for their websites. Two such sites are
AssociatedContent.com and Helium.com, they will pay you for each article
you write.
You don't have to be a fantastic writer either, just have a
good grasp of English and be able to write something of
interest on a given topic.
Blogging
Blogging is fun and easy and, again, you don't need great writing
skills. You just need to be able to communicate your thoughts and ideas
well. You can get your own customizable blog by getting a domain and
hosting package that includes the Fantastico module.
This module allows
you to install the blogging software, WordPress, with 1 simple click.
It's super fast and easy and you'll be blogging in no time. Once you
have some visitors, you can add Adsense ads or affiliate ads to leverage
your visitors and make money from them.
Remember, the more interesting
your topic, the more people will be interested, and the more readers you
get, the more money you will make from your advertising. Blogs can be
about anything, what do you have a passion for? What is your interest?
Blog about it!
Affiliate Marketing
Many online companies have affiliate programs. Amazon.com, for instance,
has a great affiliate program that allows you to sign up and get a
customized URL to any page or area of their site.
Then you can send this
URL to your friends and family and encourage them to buy gifts from
Amazon.com. With every purchase from your affiliate link, you get a
commission! There are thousands of other affiliate programs out there,
in addition to Amazon's program.
Sell Your Extra Stuff
We all have extra stuff laying around our houses or garages. Why not get
rid of it and make some money too? Get your stuff and take a picture,
write a description and put it up on eBay. You may find that something
you thought that wasn't worth anything, is actually worth something!
Contests, Sweepstakes and Instant Win Games
Everyday there are new contests, sweepstakes and instant win games
launching. If you are vigilant and spend an hour or a few a day entering
contests and playing these games, you will win something eventually.
