An online community and resource site for freelancers & work-at-home folks     


When the internet exploded onto the scene in’95, people found a new way to send emails, read the news, share photos, find recipes, and “whatever”. Many people still do these same things today, but a select few are using their computers to make extra money. Here are five great ways to use your computer to make money:

IDEA #1) You can write for Blogs (i.e.: Web Logs). If you write for some of the more established blogs you have found one of the easiest ways to make money online. This means that you don’t have to have to create your own web site, and you can still get between $5 and $100 for each article you write. The exact amount of money you will make is determined by a number of things such as: Alexa Ranking, popularity, Page Rank, RSS Subscribers count, etc. Here are some of the more popular blogs that are worth checking out:

a) ReviewMe b) SponsoredReviews c) Blogsvertise d) Payperpost e) Smorty f) Linkworth

IDEA #2) You can fill out Online Web Surveys. While some of these web sites are SCAMS, there are legitimate and profitable sites out there. You just need to do your homework to find out which is which. Be sure to check out their payment history, and see what other users are giving them in terms of comments and reviews. Here’s one potential candidate: CashCrate.com Check them out!

IDEA #3) You can always write original content for other web sites. Do you have a particular skill or hobby that others would love to learn about? Do others always say you are so informative about this or that? Is there a particular hobby that you spend all your time at? If the answer is “yes” to any of these questions, you should give this form of making money a try. Here are some web sites you should look at:

1) About.com 2) eHow.com 3) Helium.com 4) Bukisa.com 5) AssociatedContent.com

IDEA #4) Working at Freelance Jobs. If you can do computer programming, or design web sites, write technical info, draw, etc. you can leverage these skills to make some extra money online. People are looking for these skills in the online marketplace today…and they will pay you good money for it. If this interests you, check out:

IDEA #5) Affiliate Sales. What are affiliate sales you ask? It’s when you help someone sell a product via your web site. In a nutshell, there are companies out there who will pay you to send customers their way. Which companies? You can get a list of them from Commission Junction, Amazon, LinkShare, or ClickBank. Here’s how easy it is. You put an ad from one of these companies on your web site. When one of the people who comes to your web site clicks on their ad, and purchases an item from their web site, you get a percentage of the sale. Amazon will give you between 5-15%, while Clickbank will give you 50-75%. Definitely a way to go if you have an established web site that has a lot of traffic.
