Exploring Make Money Online Ideas

This is a viable option but it is not as easy as people make it out to be, as many of these types of sites want great pictures.  If you have a knack for producing great pictures you will can make this work.  If you are able to get your pictures accepted, this is a very passive way to make some income.  Obviously the more photos you have on these types of sites, the better.  And the more sites you are participating in the better.  Make sure you read each Terms of Service to make sure that you can upload the same photos to different websites.

We all have stuff lying around the house that we simply have no use for anymore.  This certainly is a way to make cash fast.  eBay has changed its policies over the past couple of years so if you haven't gone this route, you may want to read more on its website.  The key to selling on eBay is to use pictures of the products and to be completely honest about the condition of anything that you sell.  And follow up with good customer service.  The last thing you want is negative reviews!  That makes it more difficult to sell later.

This has become less lucrative ever since Google's algorithm changes.  But it still can be an option to make some extra cash.  Instead of article directories though, you may want to try websites that share ad revenue, like Hubpages, etc.  Squidoo could also be a possibility but they have run into some trouble with the way they handle submissions lately.  But check it out to see anyway.

There are website owners that want a review of their products and typically they will want you to put that review on one of your websites/blogs.  If you get enough of these, they can certainly bring in some income.  But remember, this is a post with a commercial intent.  You will need to disclose this.  This is very similar in nature to those paid advertisement "articles" that you see listed in magazines.  They look like articles but all they are doing is selling.  Do you want a whole bunch of these types of posts on your website?

Also, bear in mind that you only get paid once but have to keep that paid article on your website for a specified period of time.  How long?  That depends on the agreement you have with the person that asked you to post for a fee.​

There are companies that will send you emails (that contain ads) and you read them and get paid.  The amount that you get paid is usually pretty small (literally one or two pennies).  And the mechanism by which you participate varies from vendor to vendor.  It's very unlikely you will become rich doing this.  Most of these companies limit the number of emails a day so you really have to participate in many of them in order to make any amount of money.  And many of the companies only credit you after you "watch" the advertisement for a set number of seconds (usually like 30).

eHow is another revenue share but is a bit above the others in that they typically are a go to source for people looking how to do all kinds of things.  If you have a knowledge of something that you can put into a step-by-step instruction, then this can be a way for you to make some extra money.  Make sure you read the Terms of Service on what it takes to get accepted.

There are companies that will pay people to test out video games for them and will ask you to write about your likes and dislikes.  There are also companies that want people to test for bugs (also known as beta testers).  Some pay better than others so make sure you know what you are getting into before making any commitments.

This is a personal favorite within the Get Paid Boot Camp arena because it's a really easy way to make money and probably the one with the most potential to make the biggest amounts of money.  And with the right programs, it can actually be another one that makes money passively, over time.

Essentially, affiliate marketing is a method by which a vendor will pay you a commission for sales that your website referred to them.  These vendors handle the selling.  You just send them traffic. It can be through a banner or clicking on a link.  Major companies like Macy*s, Walmart, Target, etc., all participate in affiliate programs.  And there are third party companies that will handle all the backend transactions making this a very easy business model to participate in.

But you must learn how to do this properly.  Otherwise, you'll be spending too much time for very little (if any) gain.  If you don't learn the appropriate methods in the beginning, you will end up wasting a lot of time (and potentially money) doing the wrong things and maybe even things that are not above board with respect to ethics and even the law. ​

This is one can actually pay pretty well but you have to be real careful as often times search engines want you to view less than savory material as part of testing their engine.  Some have even said the material these search engines send may not even be legal.  Make sure you understand what you are getting involved with before taking on this type of work.

There are other search engines that will pay you pennies for searching using their engine.  But these too, limit the number of searches they allow each day.​

Local businesses, like restaurants, plumbers, chiropractors, etc., don't have time to spend creating their website and marketing it.  This is where you can come in and offer various services.  It can be anything like web design and hosting, to getting traffic to their website or helping them set up advertising campaigns.  You need to be a really good people person when choosing this option because you will be working with them one-on-one.  Still, you can certainly make good money with this.  The biggest problem for this option, is in getting the business in the first place.  It takes a huge chunk of your time to find and contact these businesses.  Outsourcing this aspect is always an option and is probably a wise move.
