During my search on the internet in order to find and start my own home based business, I created literally 1000's of bookmarks in my browser. Today I was cleaning up my bookmarks and thought that it might be a good idea to share these bookmarks with others. Why re-invent the wheel if someone has already done the work?
Whilst reviewing all my 'Make Money Online' bookmarks, I trashed many and kept a shortlist of 35. Please note that I am not including any bookmarks related to Buy My CD, DVD or Audio book, Getting Paid to Surf, MLM, Paid Surveys, Contests, etc...
My personal top 35 does include any legitimate company or business opportunity that allows you to earn money on the internet. Below is an alphabetically sorted list:
1. Adbrite - Sell available space on your website for text advertisements.
2. Amazon Affiliate program - Create your own store, and referring traffic to that. Amazon takes care of the check out and payment procedure.
3. Amazon Seller - Selling things on Amazon.
4. Associated Content - Write stories on How To, Reviews etc... submit the article to them. If they like it, you can earn up to $20 per article.
5. BidVertiser - This is a Pay Per Click Program. The payout is low, $10.
6. Build A Niche Store - A very simple website/store platform. You create a content based website that will generate income through the Ebay affiliate programs.
7. Blogging - Create a blog and regularly post good quality, informative content. Allow space for some related advert placement and you may make some money.
8. CafePress - Produce a nice design, submit it and they will put it on a Hat or T-Shirt for you. Create your own online store and promote your designs.
9. Chitika - A bit like E-Mini-Malls, designed for bloggers and website owners. Pick a keyword and they will show related products on your website. I must say, they have a very original interface for this.
10. ClickBank - Literally 1000's of products and services for you to advertise on your own website.
11. ClicknWork - A Freelance website where you get paid per assignment that you are hired for. The pay-out ranges from $5 - 150$ per hour. You will have to pass a tough test in order to qualify.
12. ClickSor - Very nifty program. They place contextual advertisements on websites. When you hover with your mouse over a double-underlined word, the ad shows up.
13. Commission Junction - By joining them, you choose several companies whose ads are relevant to the content of your website. There are 1000's to choose from.
14. CreamAid - This program is for blogs only. The advertiser gives you a topic to write about on your blog. You can activate this by placing a flash widget into your blog post. The idea is to bring lots of people into the conversation. The more people that are joining, the more money you earn. Kinda hard to explain, but see for yourself.
15. Ether - They provide a way for people to pay you for talking about things, that you are an expert in, during one-on-one sessions. You need to have a blog set-up in order to do this.
16. eBay - Empty out your garage and start selling the stuff online. Easy and fun.
17. eBay Stores - Create your own store and start selling.
18. Elance - Freelance website for Programmers, Web designers and Developers, Authors, Editors etc... .
19. FeedBurner / Google - In my opinion the best place to house your feeds. They place adds to your feeds as well as your website. It is a Paid Per Impression program, except if you have implemented Google AdSense to your feeds, the payment is per click.
20. Google AdSense - Google places relevant ads to your website, based on the content.
21. Google AdWords - Choose keywords and Google places simple text ads to your website, relevant to the keywords.
22. H3 - Get paid to fulfill job vacancies. The commissions range between $50 - $5000, depending on how difficult it is to fill the job. I find this one a little difficult to explain in a few words, but check it out.
23. Indeed - It is a job board that you can add to your site. Based on the geographic location of your visitors and position types that you have pre-selected, they place job vacancies.
24. Innersell - Found a customer but you can not sell to them? Sell the lead to Innersell.
25. JellyFish - Kinda like a shopping website. You refer people to their site and if they make a purchase, you earn a certain percentage.
26. JigSaw - If you happen to own a proper database with some good contact, you can sell it here.
27. KarmaOne - A recruiting website. Similar to H3. You find a candidate to fulfill a job vacancy and you can earn between $50 - $12000, depending on the vacancy and how desperate they are for hiring.
28. LinkShare - You need a website for this, then join LinkShare. It is for free. Choose from a list of companies that are relevant to the content of your website. LinkShare will place the ads.
29. MicroSoft AdCenter - You simply start bidding on keywords and Microsoft will create the ads. It is very similar to Google AdWords and it is not required to have a website.
30. PageFlakes - They have developed a user-defined Ajax Homepage, in order to show Flickr photos, RSS Feeds and lots more. You get paid $1 for each referral that you bring in.
31. PayPerPost - Very similar to CreamAid - The advertiser will pay you for writing about their products on your blog or website.
32. Pheedo - Designed for RSS feeds. Process your feed through Pheedo and they will include relevant ads into your feeds.
33. SoftWareJudge - Get paid up to $50 for writing a review on software.
34. WestWorkAtHomeAgent - This program is not only online and has won various awards. Ideal for stay at home moms and freelancers
35. Yahoo! Merchant Solutions - Simply create your very own online store and start selling.
This is quite a list for you to start investigating. If you are looking for a solid home based business in order to make some serious money online, I recommend you look for a company that offers ongoing training, mentoring and coaching. Be sure to check on the payment plan. You can make money online, but there is a learning curve. Be patient, stick to it and treat it like a real business.
