Twenty Ways to Earn Money Online Safely

Anyone searching for ways to make money on the internet can get real discouraged, real fast at all the phony get-rich-quick schemes out there. Even a lot of the don't-fall-for-get-rich-quick-scams sites are themselves scams. They get points for creativity, I suppose. Still, it's discouraging.

But despair not! There are a host of absolutely legitimate ways of making money on the internet. These sites are definitely NOT get-rich-quick schemes. But they can provide a steady, and steadily growing, source of income for anyone with a bit of persistence.

I'll get to the sites in just a moment. But first, a bit of inspiration. I earn about $1,500 a month on the internet, and I expect that amount to grow. It's not enough to fully support me and my family, but it's a nice supplement to my real-world income.

You're not likely to see that kind of income anytime soon, but by building up your online presence, you can make it happen over time. Here are the best online money-makers that I know of.

Content
You may already be familiar the money-making opportunities at a site like Associated Content. Contributors to the site provide the content, AC provides the platform and audience, and everyone shares in the revenue generated, mostly from ads.

The content in question can be just about anything that can be posted on the internet: articles (like this one), blogs, photos, music, videos, artwork. The cooler it is, and the more traffic it generates, the more you're going to collect. Best of all, it's not just a one-time payment, but an "evergreen" source of income that will continue to pay, much as a book author continues to get royalties. A single posting might bring in a dollar or two a month, but that can add up surprisingly quickly.

Some of the best pay-for-content sites are:
Associated Content, where you can post just about anything (but no adult or offensive content, please) and get paid for the content's 'performance' and even collect additional income from a variety of bonuses and exclusive content arrangements.

Creative Weblogging. Blogs only at this site. Get accepted as a blog editor, make a minimum of three posts every week, and collect at least $84 per month.

eHow is an ad revenue sharing site where anyone can post "How to" articles on pretty much anything. The more viewers click on the ads, the more income you'll make.

Flixya is another site where you can post just about any form of content. They offer to put 100% of ad revenue in your pocket, rather than merely sharing it. Sounds great, but I haven't yet come across anyone making a substantial sum here. Time will tell.

istockphoto, a site for photos and video clips. This is a marketplace site. People like your photo, they buy it to use, and you and the website share in the income. A single photo can be sold many times over. Another option for photos is MicroStockPhotography.

mylot, a sort of social networking site, offers payment every time you use the site! I haven't tried it myself, but it seems worth exploring.
Xomba is another post-pretty-much-anything site, and share the ad revenue.

Freelancing
If you have a particular talent that can be practiced on the web, then there are plenty of folks in need of your service as a freelancer. Freelance sites are heavy on offers to hire programmers, website designers, graphic artists, copy writers, photographers, and videographers, to name the most popular. But pretty much anything that can be transacted over the internet is up for grabs. Pay can be pretty decent, but keep in mind that you're competing against freelancers the world over, where payscales can be a lot tougher.

The freelance sites are all pretty similar. Three of the most popular are elance, guru, and ifreelance.

Tutoring
Online tutoring is a growing field, and covers everything from grade school through college. You have to apply and be accepted as a tutor, but once in, there appears to be a steady workload available, if you want it. There are many tutoring sites out there. Two of the most well-known are tutor.com and ehomeworkhelp, while Tutorvista is a fast-growing newcomer in this area.

Jury Duty
No joke! You can get paid for online jury duty. Well, let's call it mock jury duty. Law firms like to have feedback from everyday folk like us on how their case presentations will play before a real jury. They'll post a briefing package for your review, and pay you for your time. To sign up for online jury duty, head to onlineverdict.com, trialpractice.com, or trialjuries.com

Virtual Office Assistant
Take a look at TeamDoubleClick, where you can sign on for temporary online office jobs: handling correspondence, emails, bookkeeping, data entry, and so on. It's an online temp agency in the virtual world.

Listen to Music
This is bound to be someone's dream job. Slicethepie.com will pay your for listening to music. Select upcoming artists, give them a listen, and review their music. The better you are at spotting new talent, the more you can get paid. Some folks are pulling in several dollars per review.

Play Games
This might be the strangest one of all. Moola.com will start you off with a penny, and give you chances to double your money (again and again) through online game play and other activities. Along the way, you'll encounter lots of ads and opportunities to sign up for deals, thus earning Moola...and you...some cash. Moola labels itself a "Massively Multiplayer Rewards Game". It's a bit complicated, and I confess, I haven't tried it much myself, but it seems legitimate, and I know folks who speak highly of the experience.

There you have it. Twenty sites (count 'em) that will pay you for spending time online, and in many cases, doing what you would have been doing anyway.

Isn't the internet wonderful?

Learn How to Make Money Using Google Adsense

There is more to knowing how to use Google AdSense to make money than just placing a few Adsense blocks on some of your websites. That is fine if you want to make a few dollars a month from your website for little effort, and get a $100 check sent to you every now and again, but not if you want to make more substantial money than that.

If you are designing a site specifically for Adsense, you must first find a suitable niche with good keywords that people are paying substantial amounts for in the Google Adwords program. That is because it is the Google Adwords adverts that are used by Google on your Adsense site. If there is a fair number of high cost clicks in your niche, then you have a good chance of these appearing on your website.

Be prepared to design a decent website that people are going to want to visit, since adsense or not, it will be difficult to get your website listed on Google if your site has a low level of relevance to the search terms, or keywords, used by people using Google for their search. There is little point in using Google Adwords to advertise a site monetized only with Google Adsense! If you are selling popular products, then the Adsense might just pay for your Adwords campaign, but it is very unlikely. The best combination is a reasonably expert site, with some products or services offered, and also some Adsense blocks.

Some pages on your site could consist of articles with accompanying Adsense blocks, and others of sales pages offering your products or services without the distraction of Adsense. You should not place Adsense on your sales pages or squeeze pages because that will distract visitors to your page, and once they click on the Adsense ad, they will be off. Adsense should ideally have a page to itself, where it doesn’t matter if the prospect leaves or not. By then you should have offered them your opt-in page.

Your niche rarely matters since most niches have a range of high and low prices. What matters is designing a page round each of the keywords you want to use. Once you have a list of keywords - say 20 or thirty plus, then enter each one into it

To find the better Adsense keywords, enter your keyword into the Google KeywordToolExternal and check the Adwords prices the tool provides you with. Do that with each of your keywords and select those that cost most. Your income per click will be related to the cost per click paid by the advertiser. Once you have selected your keywords, then write information pages based on each of the keywords, and optimize each page for the relevant keyword.

It is important that your visitors see a professional looking website, containing useful content and information. Offer some products if you can, and if your visitors do not see anything they want they will have the option of clicking on an Adsense ad. Hence you can make money in two ways. You visitors will prefer it that your site offers more than just a page full of adverts as many Adsense sites do.

Google, however, are slowly working their way through such websites and dropping them from the listings. This will not happen to your site if it provides good content relevant to the keyword of each page. At least this is true unless you are copying content, in which case your web page might never see the light of day. Many web pages are generated automatically by software that can be generating exactly the same pages for other users as it is for you. You should write your own content or have it written for you by a professional ghost writer that will not offer your work to anybody else.

If you follow the above advice, then you will have a better chance of making money from Adsense. However, if you really want to know how to use Google Adsense to make money, then the secret is in duplication.

Earn Money through Google Adsense Revenue Sharing Forums

Dont worry if you don't have website or blog, now you can earn through simply posting in a forum. Interesting!! isn't it?

This is the latest and most successful online money making technique in the market today wherein you neither require a website nor you need to promote affiliate links. You require only Google AdSense publisher code and need to submit content. It's a pure CPC site. The secret is to join AdSense Revenue sharing site and submit content.

Just like this one: -
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/

AdSense revenue sharing means ad revenue from the forum or website can be shared between active members of this forum and the webmaster. It's a Win -Win situation. Just join a forum and create post. The forum uses Google AdSense to automatically serve relevant ads for the content that members create. Google pays AdSense publishers on a per click basis. Google is one of the leading CPC network in the industry and depending on the content and the Location, they pay from 20 cents to several dollars per click.

If a user has an AdSense account, they have the ability to credit their account with the ads served on threads in forum they start or participate in. In this case, 50% of the time, members ads are displayed and 50% of the time, webmasters ads are displayed. If some curious visitor visits the site and happens to click on the Ads served by Google for some information and if it's a genuine click then one gets paid for each and every click.

Is this allowed by Google?

Ans: There are tons of such sites on the internet flourishing since the day AdSense was launched and are still there. Again Google Terms and conditions does not mention anything about the same.

How do I start with the same? If you are not having Google AdSense publisher code then you

need to create such an account (go to www.google.com/AdSense to sign up). For publishers having Google AdSense code, its just submitting the details at the time of joining the forum.

There are many forums that become AdSense revenue sharing forums. You can create your Google AdSense account and join to them. Here a few tips to earn money from a revenue sharing forum:

1. Make sure you have enter your Client ID (It should be in the form of pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) in your profile.

2. Enter your Google AdSense Channel ID. It would be a good idea to have a unique channel ID for this forum (then you can track stats specifically for the forum).

3. Create a good new thread with fresh content.

4. Create a powerful title for your thread to get more visitors to view your thread.

5. Be active in the forums because you will get paid for your replies also .

6. Put your site in signature. Perhaps somebody go to your site and click your ads

More tips:

1. The system will never display your own AdSense Client ID to you (as long as you are logged in).This is to prevent people from unknowingly violating the Adsense terms and conditions (specifically the part about clicking your own ads). You do not get more exposure on topics that contain too many replies. It's very logical! -- Since the ads are shared between the topic starter and the repliers, the more the repliers, the less the exposure.

2. If a user has an AdSense account, he has the ability to credit his account with the ads served on threads he start or participate in

Its a great idea to make some money while posting and talking, there is no easy way to earn from internet like this one.
