If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
It’s not a secret that I am bidding on the keyword ‘Make Money Online‘ so when someone searches for those keywords in google they will see my site appear (not on page one yet, but getting there! I’m on a respectable page 3 right now!). My point is here they want to find ways of making money online and not necessarily: Top 50 Make Money Online Blogs Ordered by RSS Readers or How to See a Non-Public Feed Count. So I’ve decided on doing a post that lists all the ways to make money online.
Displaying CPC ( Cost Per Click ) Ads on your Site or blog.
Most of these CPC Networks work in the same way by showing relevant text or image ads on your site based on what content you have on your site.
Kontera - In Text Links - Kontera turn specific keywords in your content into an ad which show up as double underlined.
ABC Search - Get $100 in clicks free when you sign up with these guys.
Make Money Writing
You can make money by writing about other business’s or blogs. They will pay for this as it gives exposure to their site with a personal recommendation from you and also the added benefit of links from your site to their site.
Review Me - For high class blogs with good stats ( hard to get on the program)
Pay Per Post - medium to get on the program
BlogVertise - easy to get on the program
BloggerWave - easy to get on the program
The harder it is to get on the program the better the earning potential.
Helium - You don’t need a blog to use this site. They have a marketplace were publishers will pay between $20 to $200 per article. They also have contests with cash prizes.
ProBlogger Job Boards - you can find blogs that need writers on these boards that are often paid positions
Make Money Taking Online Surveys
GlobalTestMarket - This is one I have used my self and are a decent company.
I don’t really use online surveys, its only because I started with GTM that I am continuing with them. So I don’t know that many companies for Online surveys if you know of more please comment below.
Make Money with your Videos
Flixya - 100% adsense revenue sharing
PlugAdPlay - This is a new company I found on KillerAdStartups
Metacafe - I have written a post about metacafe here: make money with videos
WackiVideo - 50% revenue sharing with a 10% affiliate program
Affiliate Marketing Programs
Affiliate Marketing is advertising a specific product or service in a banner or text link and when a person clicks that link they go through to product or service ‘landing page’ if that person then buys the product or signs up for a service you can get commission. The commission varies depending on what program you are on. You can promote affiliate links on your website or blog or even by using a CPC system. (WARNING: some affiliate programs do not allow CPC on certain keywords). The following are affiliate networks that will have lots of affiliate programs for you to sign up to:
Affiliate Future (International) - One positive from this network is you don’t have to wait to be approved for programs you have access to the links straight away
Web Gains (UK) - Another site like Affiliate future you don’t have to wait to be approved for programs. They seem to have a few more recognisable names though.
Buy.at (UK/US) - You have to wait to be approved with these guys.
TradeDoubler (International) - This was the first affiliate network I joined… great quality.
Commission Junction (International)
LinkShare (UK/US)
ClickBank (International) - Mainly dealing with electronic products such as eBooks
Make Money By Clicking/Completing Tasks
AdBux.org - Earn money by clicking on ads for 30 seconds often about $0.01 per click (Min payout $10)
CashCrate - Earn by completing tasks such as surveys or signing up to free services these can vary the amount you get paid but average is about $1/free sign up and confirm your email address.
Make Money Selling Private Adspace
Once your site or blog is established enough you could start to sell your adspace to individuals. I would only recommend this once your site/blog is established with good stats etc. You can use agencies to do this for you like:
Text Link Ads - Sell Text link ads on your site with a 50% commission for them.
D-Click - Sells banners and text links with 25% commission for them.
Make Money from Banner/Website Design/Coding
If you are gifted in graphic design, coding or web design then you can make money through your skills.
DP Forums - Lots of banner design contests on this forum and you could probably find other work here also.
iFreelance - Freelance work website.
That’s really all I can think of right now. I’m sure I’ve missed something out.. so if I have please point it out in your comment. Thanks!

Bloggers can also earn money with online music stores that offer free music as a part of promotional program. This way you attract traffic, get more returning visitors and get paid if your visitors register with music sites. So as you can see it’s slightly different from ordinary affiliate program.
