One of the best ways and full proof ways you can earn some extra cash or what they call earn a passive income online is by writing and publishing your articles to article sites, I have to admit that this seems to be one of those things that I firmly believe works best online. I have seen and witnessed the results my self.

Some good services you can start using to earn your first dollars online by writing articles for are Associated Content hosts an accepts articles from all areas of interests, hobbies, expertise, video , text to slideshows. Associated Content pays up to $20 per article you submit. $20 is the max, but you probably will be paid much less than that an average of around $3-$10 per article.

Another currently new site for freelance writers or people looking to publish more of their articles is TypeOrWrite.

Your articles are paid upfront. Prices for articles currently range from between $1 to $10 depending on demand and quality of the articles.
Payments are made monthly for articles accepted that month. Mode of Payments is made via PayPal which is free for signing up for.

Take note your earnings will all depend on the quality, clarity and uniqueness of your content and whether the subject matter is of interest to the general public. The better you write the more potential for greater earnings.

Making money online seems to be thee thing now they are countless blogs, articles regarding this subject, most of it seems more of information regurgitation, but one thing I have noticed in all the posts and ways people are using their blog or websites to make money is a few people actually admit that making money online is a grueling and tedious process that could potential take months or years to achieve, it doesn’t happen over night.

If you do a Google search “make money online” you’re greeted with thousands of results most of the websites are trying to sell you something superficial, for example websites that have statements such as
“You don’t have to know anything about the Internet or computers.”
“You don’t have to even use the Internet to make money on it.”
“You can just put up a Web page, do nothing, and cash huge checks–there is no work required!” these claims sound ridiculous.
Ciphering through all the crap and telling the difference between what is real and not real is a challenge and a project on its own.

They are many people who clam they make this much amount of money online but actually don’t, make enough to make a living off their blog or less than 10 dollars a day.
So the question is with all the scams can one really make genuine and legitimate money online via their blog or website or through other means? My response to this question is it all depends on how much effort and drive you have to achieve it and the time you take out to acquire new knowledge to help you get started.

One of the limiting factors that prevents many from actually achieving the desired monetary goals online is that people overly procrastinate, This is a subject I have immersed my self over the past few days and have writing an article about on my self development blog which I will post up by the end of the weekend.

They are just way to many get rich quick schemes online that don’t pull through or either require you to pay a substantial amount of money for you to join some membership club. Theirs no fast way to make money online, it takes a long time and takes time to build a readership, to work out how to monetize it, but having the right mental attitude will take you a long way.

Theres power in credibility, if it is online it doesn’t make it true, you need to build your self and become more credible , then you will be more likely to sell or promote a product.

I stumbled upon a pretty amazing widget creation site today and simply had to blog about it. PopShop is a new online startup which offers a large searchable collection of affiliate products over 15 million according to the site that span all of the major networks. With PopShops, it all starts with the concept of a “shop”. A shop can be a single product, a multi-page storefront, or a widget (a small web based application which provides a service and usually integrates with a larger system ) that you’ve constructed from products you’ve chosen. For each shop you will be given a small snippet of code to embed into your website or blog. You can easily create customized storefronts and widgets (referred to collectively as “shops”) to put any of these products on your website or blog to earn commissions and make extra cash. Pick the products you want with a quick keyword search, customize the look of your shop, and then pop it into your site.

Once a user clicks on the link and purchases the product you keep 100% of the affiliate commissions you earn. Whether you’re an amateur blogger trying to monetize a single site or a super affiliate who makes a living building niche sites this tool is definitely handy. For those of you who might not know what affiliate marketing is, this online business involves an affiliate’s (you) promotion of a merchant’s product this could be anything from software applications to clothing via a website. Here the website owned by the affiliate is made to advertise and market the products of the merchant through the affiliate program that they run. Whenever someone clicks on the merchant’s product promoted by the one owned by the affiliate (you), the affiliate (you) is given a commission. This is in recognition of his effort in helping the merchant make a sale. This particular business model allows people to work at home under flexible working hours. There is no boss to scream around putting pressure on everyone about the deadline at hand.

Those who have been in the business long enough can attest to the fact that it is a lucrative business indeed, one that can actually give people things that they could not possibly possess or experience under ordinary circumstances and is definitely a good way of establishing an alternative income stream.

There are lots of ways to earn money on the internet, but one of the most common and lucrative ways to earn money online is to promote products for companies which have profit sharing programs.

Marketing products and services on the internet is known as “Internet Marketing”, and is a multi billion dollar industry. Thousands of everyday people, who are just like you and me, are earning money on the internet every day by forming partnerships with companies, which pay commissions based on internet sales they help generate. Forming these partnerships may sound difficult, but this really isn’t the case because many companies have “Affiliate Programs”, which are set up for their affiliates. Thre are literally thousands of companies online you can partner with, and start promoting their products literally within minutes.

You might be wondering how to start promoting a company’s products as an affiliate. The answer is simple: all you really need to do is start sending traffic to their websites. While this may sound easy, the challenge is finding the right kind of traffic. Websites such as halfvalue.com teach people strategies and techniques to drive targeted traffic to company website, which translates into HUGH online earning for many affiliates. In fact, it is quite common for affiliates to earn more than $500 per day on the internet through affiliate programs. You can get started right away if you understand the right traffic generating techniques. A large number of people are also earning a monthly residual income from Internet Marketing on a part-time basis. Adjust your budget with online residual incomes before you quit your regular job. You may keep your full-time jobs until you make enough easy money online. Jobs like e-mails reading, fill forms or data entry are quite frequent on internet. Start with them before building your own online business and making your own internet profits.

Ways to earn money on Internet:
Affiliate programs: Where are a lot of companies offering the partnership for you. These companies provide different payment schemes: PPL (pay-per-lead), PPS (pay-per-sale) or PPA (pay-per-action). All you need is to choose product you want to promote and get an affiliate account. Once you get affiliate account you have 2 ways to promote the product: you can create a promotional website for this product or you can buy targeted advertising to drive people directly to you affiliate link. If you have money to buy ads - contextual advertising is right for you.

Pay-per-click advertisement: You can also earn money by placing contextual advertising to you website. There’re a lot of PPC companies who pay from $0.1 to $100 per click, yet the maxium I have seen so far was an average of 15 to 22 dollars per click. Everything you need is just place their HTML-code you your webpages. I recommend

Chitika, Clixgalore, PeakClick. Make money from PPC engines is a little harder than from Affiliate programs, because you have to get a lot of traffic your your webpages.
