If
you have your own web site or blog, why not get it earning some money
for you? Here are all of the methods I use to make money on the
Internet. All are free to participate in, although some may offer
incentives for you to spend some money to increase your earnings
And
even if you don't
have your own site, you can still make money from some of the methods
listed below.
If
you have your own site and want to increase your incoming traffic, I
also provide some great details on how you can do this through paid
advertising methods.

If you have your own web site or blog, why not start making some money
from it? Here are some free ways I'm earning an income from my sites.
None of these methods require you to spend any money.
The first thing is to get your sites earning an income for you by
placing various advertisements on them.
The first advertiser I use is Auction Ads. They place
eBay auction ads including pictures of the products targeted to the
content on your site. When your site's visitors click on an Auction Ads
listing and take an action on eBay you earn cash. Actions are defined
as a Winning Bid, a Buy-it-Now or a confirmed user registration.
AuctionAds is committed to paying out a minimum of 100% of eBay
commission revenue. See eBay's affiliate program for
details on the payout. Auction Ads sends out
payment by PayPal on the 1st of each month - the minimum is $10.
The second advertiser is Text
Link Ads (TLA). This service sells text links on
your behalf. For example, you might want five advertiser links shown on
your site or blog. Text Link Ads will find advertisers who want to have
their links on your site and will then share the income with you. Text
Link Ads pays on the 1st of each month: $25 minimum
by check, no minimum if you use PayPal.
The third advertiser is LinkWorth
Text Link Ads. Like TLA they sell text links on
your behalf. One extra benefit is that by becoming a preferred partner
(you get a slightly lower commission) LinkWorth
will actively search for links to go on your site, not just wait for
advertisers to stumble across your site listing. LinkWorth
pays on the 10th of each month: $25 minimum payout amount.
The fourth advertiser is BidVertiser. This
company places ads on your site, and advertisers bid for the ad space.
You get paid when a visitor clicks on an ad. BidVertiser will always
display the highest bidders on your site, assuring the maximum revenue
possible at any given time. And BidVertiser will pay you
when your earnings reach just $10, so it can be a good income earner
for smaller sites which don't get a lot of traffic.
Now, is to not just
have the ads running on your site, but make sure that you have
referrer links and banners to each of your advertisers, as the above
advertisers all pay you when you successfully refer a new publisher or
advertiser. Referral bonuses can really make up a substantial portion
of
your income, so make sure that you put your referral links everywhere
you can. For example, a successful referral to Text
Link
Ads pays $25. And LinkWorth
Text
Link Ads will pay you $50 for each advertiser or partner (publisher) you
sign up, plus 5% of what any advertiser you sign up spends with LinkWorth
Text
Link Ads - forever. So if you sign up say,
5 advertisers per month, after 6 months you are getting 5% of what the
30 advertisers you signed up are spending, plus your $50 bonus for signing up each of those advertisers. Some advertisers spend
thousands of dollars per month, so it could be a huge windfall for you. To get your bonuses advertisers must spend $100 or partners showing links on their sites earn $100 (this ensures you are only paid for active referrals and helps stop fraudulent referrals).
Many site owners actually
make more from referrals than from the ads
on their sites, so placing referral links and banners is really
important if you want to maximise your income.
By the way, you can run ads for all of the above services
on the same page.

Another great way to make money is UserCash.com
- URL forwarding where YOU GET PAID!. This service
adds redirects to your links. Whenever someone clicks one of your links they will either land on the target page with a small, unobtrusive advertising banner at the top, or a click-through landing
page to take them to the target link (your choice). The landing page
option pays more, but it means visitors do have to make an extra click
to get to their destination. I'm using UserCash for my wallpapers - each time someone clicks to view a wallpaper I get paid. I've also chosen the banner option for all
links. UserCash
pays
a minimum of $5 in the first week of each month. UserCash also pays you
a portion of your referrals' clicks, so again spreading the word is a
must.

Here's a great way to not just make some easy cash, but also to increase the traffic to your site with very cheap advertising. ClixSense pays you at least 1 cent each time you view an ad placed on their site by an advertiser. And some advertisers do pay a lot more for you to view their ad. A real benefit of ClixSense is that you can use the money you make by clicking ads to place your own ads for others to click. You should be looking at around $6.00 for 500 ad views. And because people have to visit your advertised site for 30 seconds before they get their credit from ClixSense, you could consider it to be guaranteed traffic. You can also choose to only display your ads to "Premium Members" who have proven they are prepared to buy online, and people in certain regions such as the USA or Europe.
I really recommend that, even if you join ClixSense just to click ads, spend the $10 per year on premium membership as you will get a lot more ad offers, and clicking those should get your money back within a few days. By the way, ClixSense also have a great referral program too.
A very similar program to Clixsense is WordLinx - Get Paid To Click. Again, you can earn money by clicking ads on their site, and buy cheap ads for other members to click on which will guarantee traffic to your site. It also has a great referral program, and you can even "buy" referrals of active members who signed up without going through a referral link. You can also upgrade to a "Pro" account for $25 per month if you want access to some special features such as bonus credits and extra referral payments.
If you have a blog, a great way to make money is to write
sponsored posts. The most well known method is to use PayPerPost - Pays You To Blog! As the name suggests, PayPerPost
pays
you to post about certain topics or sites. Depending on the advertiser
and your page rank, a post can pay anything from $5 to more than $150
(my biggest so far is $17 - not bad for 10 minutes work). You can do up
to three posts per day, so it really can be a big income earner. And PayPerPost
will also pay you for successful referrals - $15 for each one. That's
another easy way to make money without actually doing anything.
As well as PayPerPost, another fantastic sponsored post service is Blogsvertise. This
one has a bit more choice as, besides getting paid to write posts, you
can also get paid to run various small ad banners or text links on your
site. And if you refer a new advertiser, you get 20% of what
the advertiser spends with Blogsvertise.
Another
great money-earner. (By the way, if you are an advertiser
wanting
to get noticed, just click here
to
sign up with Blogsvertise).
If you are a person who has pictures that you want to share on
the Internet, then why not get paid for it? Shareapic Pays You To Share Your Pics.
Shareapic pays you a small amount every time someone views one
of your images. I've been using it for three months now as the host of
the galleries on
my wallpapers site, and I've already received several payouts. The
money can build up quite quickly, and their
referral program is great too. Each time you refer a new user, you earn
10% of their image views forever! So even if you have a fairly
low-traffic site, if you refer someone who has a lot of pictures to
share and lots of viewers, then they can earn your money for you. Shareapic pays a
minimum of $20 by PayPal (they are looking at other methods such as
gift vouchers for those who don't have PayPal).
(Those who have "adult" pictures to share might want to try ImageReverb which also pays you, but unlike Shareapic, allows adult material to be posted).
The final free method to make money online is to use reward
schemes.These cover a variety of things such as paying you to respond
to surveys, trialling products
& taking part in competitions. Each one is different, and here
are eight I recommend. You can find others just by doing an Internet
search for paid surveys, but I have found the following ones to be the
most reliable and easiest when it comes to making money. They are:
These eight all have referral bonus programs - again, another easy
way to make an income without doing anything. I especially recommend
SnapDollars as each day you get free tickets into their sweepstake
draws of $5, $500 & $1,000. All you need to do is log in each
day and submit your free sweeps entries (you fill them in like a Lotto
coupon). For a daily chance of winning up to $1,000 it really is too
good an opportunity to pass up.
So why don't you start earning extra money from the Internet today?
