(1)Perform a service. There are many businesses out
there that need as many people as possible, working online, to become
successful. Usually these service-oriented companies do not pay a lot
per item, but if you're fast and accurate, the the pennies add up to
dollars and can be a great source of income. Look for opportunities like
these:
- Consumer data is an incredibly valuable commodity that companies will
pay a lot of money to have, and the way a lot of this data is collected
is through surveys. The more surveys you complete, the more you will
earn.
- The Internet is jam-packed with readers (you're one now!) The one thing
that readers need the most are writers. There are sites that specialize in bidding out writing jobs that range from $.01 to
$.10 a word. You may start in the $.01 to $.03 range, but the more you
write—providing you write well—the more you will make per word.

Become an affiliate writer
Like using Google's AdSense, if you have a web presence with any kind
of following, becoming an affiliate marketer can generate a substantial
income if you do it well.
- Sign up with a company that has an affiliate program. You can research popular or trending topics with Google trends, and pick an affiliate partner based on current events, or you can pick a partner based on your own preferences.
- For example, if you are a musician, offers an Affiliate Program that is very partner-friendly.
