All the ways to make money online

I understand this isn’t a personal finance blog, but this is one of the best offers I have found anywhere on the internet. I was a pretty skeptical at first. I thought it was just an introductory offer to lure you in, and then they would kill you with fees. I signed up and put $250 in my account and they added the $25 to my account. It was just that easy. And there were absolutely no fees at all.
But then it got even better. Not only do they have the best interest rate you can find. Like a solid .90 compounded annually I think, but they also have a referral program. You can make an easy $10 every time somebody signs up under your account. (Up to 50 referrals) It works out great because you get a free $10, and your referrals get a free $25. You could get the free $25 and then $500 and then be earning solid interest on that really quickly. And the best part is that there is no risk, no investment, and no fees.
If you would like me to send you a link to get the free $25 offer just leave your email address in a comment below. The comment will not show up, I will just see it and send you the link.

I apologize for not posting to this blog as frequently lately. I will try to step it up, so I can be more of a help to you guys looking to make money online without paying.
Here's one site I am making steady money from, and haven't even thought about for a couple months.

Cashcrate

My monthly earnings won't blow you away, because I'm not completing any offers or surveys. I'm just making a percentage of whet my referrals make. That fact is nice , however, considering just one of my referrals has made $146 this month, and this is only the 19th of the month. That kind of money is almost equivalent to a solid part time job. I am going to start completing more offers and seeing just how much I can make with Cashcrate.
I'll tell you about another site in the next couple days.

I just started a new blog that is all about blogging. Blogging tips, blogging resources, and anything you may need to know about making the most out of blogging. Here's the link. Blog Helper

Squidoo is a great way to make money without much work. I know people who make thousands every month just by writing for Squidoo. I also know people who do it just to advertise a business, website, or blog. It is great advertising that can help you make a little extra money while you're at it. I also know people who use it just because they love to write. They have a mentor program to help you get started, and anybody at their forum would be glad to help you with any questions.
How do you make money? There are 2 ways to make money using Squidoo. The biggest money maker is with sales like Amazon that give you a commission for every sale you make. The other way is with the pretty complicated payout tiers. Nobody really knows all about the ranking system, but if your lens (their word for each page you make) is in the top 2,000 you get around $20.00 for that month, if it is in the top 10,000 you get around $2.50, and around $0.15 if it is in the top 85,000. Like I said it is very complicated, but every month it is worth more and more. They always pay right on time every month. You can make as many lenses you like about anything you want. I have some lenses that are really high ranked to make money that way, and others I use sales to make money like this one.
Squidoo is becoming more and more popular every day. There are well over a half a million people who use Squidoo, and more are joining all the time. Even some of the biggest names in internet marketing use it. It is free to sign up, and it is a great way to make some easy money, if you know anything about writing and the internet you can make a LOT of money with Squidoo

There's probably a few people out there who don't really have any internet experience, or don't want to put a lot of work into internet marketing and such, but you still would like to make a few easy bucks a day. Here are some very simple ways to make some extra money online, that don't cost a thing to sign up.
1. Survey sites are getting a very bad reputation these days because most of them are scams, but there are a few that are legit. The best ones I have found are Your Free Surveys, and Palm Research.
2. Sites that pay you to take surveys and complete offers. With these sites you can make money several different ways. Taking surveys, getting referrals (the biggest money maker), and completing offers from various companies. The one I use to make the most money is Cash Crate, but I have also done very well with Treasure Trooper.
3. Paid to click sites are for people who have a lot of time and patience. They pay you to view different sites. They don't pay as much as the other ways, but if you put a little work into it and get some referrals it can be well worth your time. There are hundreds out there, but my favorites are Up Bux and GPTreasure.

PayPal is the most popular way to transfer money online. You can send money to someone clear across the world instantly. Most things you can buy online accept PayPal. It is free to sign up, and it is extremely quick compared to any other means of money transfer.
PayPal is definitely my preferred way to pay and receive money online. PayPal is so convenient I use it for almost all my transactions online. There really isn’t a reason for me to pay with a credit card any more. I hardly use any sites that don’t accept PayPal.

There's basically two main ways to get traffic to your blog. Advertising and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) i.e. Google. I will talk about Search engines in a later post, right now I will focus on advertising.
Advertising can be either free or paid. If you go with paid advertising there are many different ways of going about it. My preferred method is PPC (Pay Per Click). This way you only pay for visitors who are already interested in what you have to say. This can get pricey, but it could also be worth it if it means getting followers that will want to come back and read more.
My favorite site to use for advertising is Bidvertiser. They are cheap and all the hite from there are people that are interested. They also have a great referral program. And to top it all off they give you $20 free just for signing up to advertise with them.
Bidvertiser.com

The other way to advertise is with free advertising. Most free advertising is pretty worthless, but I have found some ways that work pretty well.
1. Ad exchange sites. On these sites you can look at someone else's site, and in turn get hits to your site. I have found this to be a waste of time. It does get you a lot of hits, but the viewers are most likely not interested, and they are just waiting for the timer to run down so they can click on another site. If you are interested the best one I have found is trafficg.com.
2. Text link swap sites. These I have found to be a little better, because you only get hits from people that are interested. How it works is you put a link on your website or blog and if anybody clicks on that you get your ad put on someone else's website. You can see an example of at the bottom of this blog. This method of getting traffic works, but only so well.
3. Comment on other blogs and leave a link back to yours. Most people will call this spamming, but if you have an agreeable blogger you can get some easy hits this way. You can also try commenting on sites like IM Report Card. IM Report Card pays you 50 cents for each comment anyway, but I have found that putting a link in my signature has helped bring in a lot of traffic. You probably want to check out IM Report Card. I have made quite a bit of money with it.
4. Tell your friends about your blog. If you post it on Facebook or Twitter most of your friends will feel obligated to check it out. This can get you a lot of hits really fast. You can also email it to anyone you think might be interested.

Starting a blog is very simple. First you have to choose a topic for your blog. You can start a blog about anything. It can be about something you like to write about, something you know a lot about, or just about you. I know people with personal blogs, just about themselves that make decent money with it. You can choose something you think a lot of people will want to learn about. Choose a more narrow topic so people can find you easier. If there are a thousand blogs about your topic you better be pretty darn good, or nobody will ever find you.
Once you know what you want to blog about the next step is to pick the best web hosting for your needs. Web hosting can be entirely free, other you pay a lot because it helps you out a lot. If you are very new to the blogging world, I would suggest free hosting like Wordpress.com or Blogger (what I am using right now.) If you have a little more experience you probably want to move away from free hosting and find your own web hosting. This is when it gets tricky because there are thousands of web hosting sites that all have different prices and deals. I have been shopping around for paid web hosting, and these are the best two sites I have found.
Just Host offers unlimited storage, unlimited traffic, and a free domain, all for just $3.45 a month.
Go Daddy is the biggest and most popular web hosting service available. They have unlimited storage, unlimited traffic, and a free domain for the price of $12.74 a month. They have deals and offers all the time where you can get it a little cheaper.

The best way to make money is with ads. You get paid for each click on the ads on your blog or website. Most people like to stick with the big ones like Yahoo and Google ads. But I have found that some of the smaller ones have a whole lot more to offer.

The best one I have found is Bidvertiser. Why is it better? Because they not only pay more for each click, but they also have a much easier payout process. They pay by check or by PayPal with a low $10 minimum payout.

They also have a very good referral program.
When a user signs as an advertiser and first spends $10, they will credit your account with $5. When that same advertiser spends $50, you will be credited with an additional $20.
When a user signs as a publisher and first earns $10, they will credit your account with $10. When that same publisher earns $50, you will be credited with an additional $40.

It would be worth it just to make money with referrals.

Here's the link if you are interested in advertising with Bidvertiser. Your first 20 dollars is free.

This is where I make the most money. These sites pay you to write about other sites you have used, or know about.
IM Report Card is probably my favorite site. It is very easy to make money fast. They pay you one cent for each comment you rate, 10 cents for each site or product you rate, 50-1.50 for each comment you write, and one dollar for each new site you suggest. You also make %100 percent of everything your referrals make. They pay by PayPal once you reach 2000 credits, which is $20.00.
IM Report Card
A W Surveys paye you for website evaluations. The first survey is worth 6 dollars, and after that usually 4 dollars. This is higher than most other survey sites, and they have more you can do at a time. They pay $1.25 for each referral. The reason they pay so much is because the minimum payout is 75 dollars, so you have to keep at it and not give up. They pay by PayPal, Alertpay, or mail. Beware if you ask for payment by PayPal they deduct 25 dollars for no reason.
AW Surveys
Carrot Reviews is a little different. They pay you 2 dollars for each site you write a review about, and 5 dollars for each review if you are the first one to review it. Also if your review is rated by other people it can make 10 dollars. They pay by PayPal once you reach $10.00, and it is always within 48 hours.

Here are some sites that allow you to make money several different ways.

Cash Crate is by far the most popular. I know several people who have made hundreds with this site, some even thousands. They pay you by check every month.

I’m sure you’ve heard about people that have made 5 figures a year blogging. A lot of people hear this and think they can just start a blog and have the cash flowing in. The truth is most people will not make much money at all from their blogs. The amount of money you can make blogging depends on several things.
1. The content of your blog. It has to be a topic that you know a lot about, and a lot of people want to read about.
2.The quality of your blog. Nobody wants to read a blog with spelling or grammatical errors.
3.The amount of time you put into your blog. You have to devote yourself to writing several articles a week, and spending time getting the most traffic to your blog as you possibly can.
4.The ads you put on it. Adsense will not pay you as well as some say it will. But it will pay some once you are getting enough hits.
So if you start a blog with the sole purpose of making money chances are you won’t make anything at all. And if you do it will take a very long time before you start making anything significant. Some people even lose money.
The purpose of my blog is not to make money, as you can see by the lack of ads. I’m just trying to show other people how they too can make money online.

You can probably expect to make about 20 to 50 dollars a month from a good website, if you work pretty hard at it. Anything that promises more than that just might be a scam. But considering that’s just a couple minutes a week, it can be well worth the effort. I would suggest that you register with several different sites, especially if you need the extra money. I know a few people that are members of dozens of sites. You also want to make sure you get as many referrals as you can. Some sites offer a small percentage of everything that they make (10-50%), others it is a flat rate for each referral ($1-$5).

Another great way to make a little cash is writing articles online. Some sites will pay you as much as $5 or more for every article. You just pick a topic you know a lot about and write about it, you can write several articles a day. Here is a list of sites that will pay you to write for them.

If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.

If they ask you for money to sign up, chances are it is a scam. You never want to spend money to sign up for any site unless you’re sure it is not a scam.

If it doesn’t have a forum. The reason is the forum would be filled with people that are saying they didn’t get paid.

If they ask for your credit card info or your social security number.

If it looks like a scam, common sense will tell you just by looking at them that they are scams. Real sites usually look way more professional.

PTC’s are another option for making money. They don’t pay quite as much as surveys, but if you’re willing to spend a little time clicking, and get a lot of referrals you could make a lot. Here is a list of good PTC’s, they are free to join, don’t ask for any of your contact information except email, and they all pay with Pay Pal. They also have very low minimum payouts, which is nice.

First of all if you want to spend a little time, and make some extra money, your paid surveys are a good option. All of these are free, and take only a minute to sign up.

Palm research is one of the very best, they send you 2 short one dollar surveys a day, plus others worth a little more on the site. They pay with Pay Pal, and they have a low minimum payout of $10.00
http://palmresearch.com/ref/1293047
Survey head is another one of the top ones. They give you $5.00 just for signing up, and 2 dollars worth of surveys right away. They pay with Pay Pal, and the minimum payout is $25.00

Mindfield is also great, they have pretty short surveys that pay well. They pay with Pay Pal, and the minimum payout is only $5.00.

I have been searching the internet, for a very long time to find the best money-making sites available. I found way too many scams for me to possibly count. I also found that there is so much money out there that I could have been making all this time, using very little time and effort. I got very frustrated with all the scams and worthless sites, and I wished there was a place for me to find out which ones were for real. So I made this blog for anyone else who believes that there is a lot of money to be made out there, and just can’t find it.
I will be posting the links to a ton of sites that I have proved not to be scams. And also information on how you can make the most money online without paying a cent.
