Ways to make money while online

Call yourself an internet addict? Chances are that if you happen to stumble upon this website anyway, you probably are.

There are multiple ways to gain money while being online. Those listed here DO NOT include taking online surveys, clicking on ads, polls, whatever.

So here are ones that I find personally interesting:

ReviewMe - In order to participate, you must have a blog and it has to be active. Companies go to ReviewMe to advertise a product and ReviewMe asks their members to write a review of the product in exchange for cash.

In regards to ethics, ReviewMe mandates that the blogger/site owner indicate that they are being compensated to write the review AND the advertiser cannot insist on a positive review. This is the opposite of other similar services that don't mandate trustworthy behavior. Ultimately the goal is to spread the word honestly.

You can expect to earn $20 - $200 per review that you write.


Vizu - I really like the sound of this one and may try it on Dumb Little Man. Instead of putting ads on your site, you insert polls. You get paid based on the CPM (cost per thousand) that you set. The better positioning on your site, the better you will do. The nice part of this is that everything is embedded into your site allowing visitors to participate without leaving. That is key. PS - I learned about this site today from Digital Inspiration.


Rent-A-Coder: As I type this, there are 2,299 requests on this site. These requests are opportunities for coders to earn money. Take on a project, get it done and get paid. I like this concept because Rent-A-Coders doesn't get paid a thing until you do therefore it is in their best interest to keep you busy.


Associated Content - If you write a story, how-to, rant, etc. you can submit it to them and they will pay you $3-$20 per article if they like it


  • Blish - Whether you're a company with thousands of digital (downloadable) products, or you've written an ebook or some code, Blish offers you a place to sell that content.

  • ClicknWork - Get paid $5-$150 per hour for basically doing freelance work on a per-assignment basis. You have to pass a pretty tough test to get in.


    • Feedburner - Not only are they the best place to house your feeds, they will also add ads to your feed and website. You get paid per impression.


    • Indeed.com - Add their job board to your site. They then post jobs based on the geographic location of visitors and the position types you pre-select. I tried it and I they continually report that I sent 0 visitors and I know that's not right. Nevertheless, I may have an isolated problem so they make the list.

    Shoemoney - This is a blog that can teach you a ton on making money online. I've spent hours reading his old stuff.


    Among all these, Feedburner is interesting in that it is now merging with google. We will see how this pan out.
