did a little bookmark scrub this morning and thought I would share the

remaining content of my “Online Money” folder. To warn you, there are

certain things that I don’t like and never bookmark so:

What’s NOT included: Taking Paid Surveys, Getting Paid to Surf the Internet, MLM, Contest Sites, “Buy my DVD, CD, Audiobook”, etc.

What IS included: Things you can use to legitimately make money online – Everything from Getting Paid to review software to good ole’ Adsense.

  • Build a Niche Store -This is a simple store development platform which enables you to create

    content based sites that generate income through the eBay affiliate

    programs. Pretty darn simple and increasingly popular.

  • Adbrite- Sell space on your site for text ads. This would work like the DLM

    Marketplace you see on the right of my pages although I chose to manage

    it myself.

  • Amazon Affiliate Program- Easily create a store or shopping section on your site instead of

    sending your visitors to Amazon. Amazon handles the shopping cart and

    fulfillment.

  • Amazon Seller – Sell your stuff on Amazon
  • Associated Content- If you write a story, how-to, rant, how-to cut grass, etc., you can

    submit it to them and they will pay you $3-$20 per article if they like

    it.

  • Yahoo! Merchant Solutions – This is a pretty simple and cheap way to create an online store.
  • Azoogleads – Another ad program. They do have some decent companies lined up as advertisers. You provide space, they’ll provide an ad.
  • BidVertiser – PPC (pay per click) program with a low $10 payout amount.
  • Blog- Start a blog and consistently write excellent content. With good ad

    placement, you may make some money.

  • Cafepress- You provide a design, they’ll toss it on a T-Shirt, Hat, etc. No

    upfront costs. Get a free online shop and promote your products on your

    website.

  • Clickbank – Quickly becoming my favorite affiliate program. They have thousands of things for you to advertise on your site.
  • ClicknWork- Get paid $5-$150 per hour for basically doing freelance work on a

    per-assignment basis. You have to pass a pretty tough test to get in.

  • Clicksor – These are the guys that generate contextual ads on sites that show up when you hover over a double-underlined word.
  • Commission Junction- If you have a site, you can join Commission Junction. Once enrolled

    for free, you can choose companies whose ads are pertinent to your

    site. Companies have the ultimate say on working with you. There are

    easily over 1,000 companies to choose from here.

  • Ether- If you are an expert on something, Ether provides a way for people to

    pay you to talk about it in a one-on-one setting. If you want to charge

    $250/hr, that’s fine. You have to do all the advertising so you should

    have a blog or site already established.

  • eBay- Come on, you know what this is. Gather your junk and sell it!

  • eBay Stores – If you have a real store and want to sell your stuff online, this is a decent option to get you started.
  • ELance – Name gives it away. Programmers, Codes, Web Designers, Writers, Editors, can look for freelance opportunities.
  • Feedvertising- This is an arm of Text Link Ads and is currently only good for

    WordPress 2.0 Users. This does me no good currently, but as you can

    guess, they place ads in your feed(s).

  • Feedburner / Google- Not only are they the best place to house your feeds, they will also

    add ads to your feed and website. You get paid per impression and if

    you implement Google Adsense to your feed, you are paid per click.

  • Google Adsense- Come on, you don’t need an explanation; these ads are all over the

    place. Google displays relevant ads based on your site’s content

  • Google Adwords- Create simple text ads and choose keywords that determine when they

    are displayed. This is where the Adsense Content comes from. You do not

    need a site for this.

  • Indeed.com- Add their job board to your site. They then post jobs based on the

    geographic location of visitors and the position types you pre-select.

    I tried it and I they continually report that I sent 0 visitors and I

    know that’s not right. Nevertheless, I may have an isolated problem so

    they make the list.

  • InnerSell – If you have a customer that wants to buy something you cannot sell, you can sell the lead here.
  • Jigsaw- It’s a pretty flaky model but if you have a Rolodex full of good

    contacts, you can sell them here. I can’t make sense of it but it looks

    like you get $0.10 per profile.

  • LinkShare.com- If you have a site, you can join Linkshare. Once enrolled for free,

    you can choose companies whose ads are pertinent to your site.

    Companies have the ultimate say on working with you. Like Commission

    Junction, there are a ton of companies waiting to evaluate your site.

  • Microsoft Adcenter- Bid on keywords and Microsoft places your created ads then they are

    searched for. This is similar to Google Adwords. You do not need a site

    for this.

  • Overstock.com – Sell your stuff on Overstock.com
  • Pay Per Post- I don’t agree with this model entirely but they have advertisers that

    will pay you to write about their products on your blog.

  • Pheedo- If you have an RSS feed, run it through Pheedo. Like Feedburner, they

    can include ads into your feed and if you really become large,

    advertisers will pay a premium for you to show their ads.

  • Shareasale.com- I’ve never really worked with them but I do have an account. They are

    similar to Commission Junction and Linkshare however they seem to have

    lower tiered companies with advertising offers.

  • Shoemoney – This is a blog that can teach you a ton on making money online. I’ve spent hours reading his old stuff.
  • Software Judge – They will pay you up to $50 to review software.
  • Text Link Ads- I have never made a dime here but I know people that have. You can

    earn by sending advertisers to them or by selling spots on your site.

    You must have a real site or blog to do this – nothing on a shared

    domain (i.e. /blogspot).

  • Vibrant Media- Don’t bother unless your site has 500,000 page views of text based

    content a month. If you have that readership, these are the guys that

    display bubble box ads to underlined words on your site.

  • West Work At Home Agent – Not entirelyonline but this is worth a mention because it’s won awards and is very

    legitimate. If you are an at-home Mom or free-lancer without work, you

    should check this out.

  • ReviewMe – Inorder to participate, you must have a blog and it has to be active.

    Companies go to ReviewMe to advertise a product and ReviewMe asks their

    members to write a review of the product in exchange for cash.

    In

    regards to ethics, ReviewMe mandates that the blogger/site owner

    indicate that they are being compensated to write the review AND the

    advertiser cannot insist on a positive review. This is the opposite of

    other similar services that don’t mandate trustworthy behavior.

    Ultimately the goal is to spread the word honestly.

    You can expect to earn $20 – $200 per review that you write.

  • Revver- I have no idea how I missed this on the first list. You basically

    upload your video to Revver and they attach an ad to it. You get 50% of

    what the ad makes. If any of you have been on YouTube or other video

    sites, you can easily understand that some videos, even bad ones at

    times, go viral and thousands of people see it, and your ad! If you

    want to see a sample of this, here is a link to Revver’s ‘most watched’ page.

  • Vizu- I really like the sound of this one and may try it on Dumb Little

    Man. Instead of putting ads on your site, you insert polls. You get

    paid based on the CPM (cost per thousand) that you set. The better

    positioning on your site, the better you will do. The nice part of this

    is that everything is embedded into your site allowing visitors to

    participate without leaving. That is key. PS – I learned about this

    site today from Digital Inspiration.

  • Break.com- Upload your videos and pictures all day. If they like them and place

    them on their homepage, they will pay you $400 for original videos (you

    know, snowboarding off a house onto a trampoline and breaking your arm,

    etc) and up to $2000 for short films. They also have other random

    contests that pay out $50 a picture.

  • CelltradeUSA: Refer your visitors to CelltradeUSA. I wrote about them recently,but they offer an affiliate program now. In short, if people need to

    get out of a cell phone contract, cell trade helps them by matching

    them with someone that wants to enter into a phone contact without all

    the fees.

  • Clickbooth – Clickbooth is a site that blog owners or site owners can join to place Cost Per Action ads on their site. It has a good base of advertisers and is similar to Commission Junction or Linkshare.
    • LoudLaunch – This service has not officially launched yet but it’s something to watch. I first learned about this on Micro Persuasion and the consensus seems to be that it is similar to Review Me (which is on this list).
    • Rent-A-Coder:As I type this, there are 2,299 requests on this site. These requests

      are opportunities for coders to earn money. Take on a project, get it

      done and get paid. I like this concept because Rent-A-Coders doesn’t

      get paid a thing until you do therefore it is in their best interest to

      keep you busy.

    • Shopping.com- Add widgets to your site that display products based on keywords. For

      the ultra-skilled, you can even customize the entire user experience by

      tapping into their API. I guarantee you’ve seen sites with this

      installed and you never realized it.
