Make Money on The Internet

Article by: K.P.Suraj Panikkath

Money from the internet. Is it really possible? If you have the potential, and a serious desire to earn some cash, it is possible.

But, you are forewarned - Money from the internet may not mean $1000 per week. Also, I am talking about sites which help you to make money without actually spending any money on your own. To get started, you just need a computer, an internet connection, and some time to spend.

All ready? OK, here we go..

The different ways to make money from the web :

• Blogging
• Get Paid to Sites (includes PTR sites too)
• By writing articles, e-books
• By playing online games.

Now you may see, the earning potential is virtually unlimited. Just spend some time, around 1 or 2 hours per day, and you can earn a nice income, even around $100 or $200 per month, if you could try!

There are some tools you need, like a Paypal or E-Gold account. These are two of the most popular payment methods in the GPT industry. Some programs may issue a check, but Paypal is always easier.

Making Money Blogging

I don't think I need to explain how popular blogs are today. Blogs have a lot of earning opportunity. Just make a well written, meaty blog on a specific topic, find companies on that topic, advertise them, earn cash! Uh-oh; easier said than done. But don't give up hope - there are other ways. You could

• Place adsense
• Get a decent Page Rank and sell links
• Use Review Me to earn some cash
• Selling blogs after they become popular.

Darren Rowse has written a fantastic post over at ProBlogger on how blogs can earn money online - http://www.problogger.net/archives/2005/12/06/how-bloggers-make-money-from-blogs/

GPT Sites

GPT is the short form for Get Paid To. Get paid To means getting paid for doing offers, surveys, and others by the links the specific GPT websites provides. Variations of GPT websites would be PTR, PTC, PTP, Paid to surf etc. There are a lot of genuine programs as well as scams out there, so it pays to be careful. Some of the GPT programs I recommend :

• Treasuretrooper - This is one of the best paying sites out there. They accept members over 13, and also international members. There are about 400 offers, each offering a minimum of at least $0.50! They send you a check by the 15-20th of every month if you have earned at least 20 dollars by the last day of the previous month. Plus, you can make extra money when you refer your friends to Treasure Trooper. Go here to sign up - http://www.treasuretrooper.com

• Adbux - Adbux is a Paid-to-click program. You need a Paypal account. There will be a list of ads, click an ad, and wait for 30 seconds. A timer will count down, and you will be credited with $0.01. This may not seem much, but it is actually a lot when you consider that there are around 10-20 ads available every day. Also, the referral earning is 100%; i.e., when someone you referred clicks on an ad and makes $0.01, you will also make $0.01.So, if you have a good number of referrals, you can make a decent amount just from that. Go here to sign up - http://adbux.org/

• Clixsense - Clixsense is like Adbux, except that they have been around longer so they are better known. They pay by check. Clixsense is actually one of the popular names out there. Go here to sign up - http://www.clixsense.com/

• Take the Internet Back - TIB is based on a new idea. They let you own a piece of the company, absolutely free, when you register. TIB sends you e-mails, 10 being the maximum being 10 per day. The more e-mails you read, the more points you will get, and that determines your ownership percentage of the company. They even give you $10.00 in your account when you register. Go here to sign up - http://www.taketheinternetback.com/

• AGLOCO - AGLOCO is one of the better paid-to-surf websites out there. AGLOCO is from the founders of All Advantage, which paid out around $100 million to its users. So that automatically gives them better credibility.
  
  AGLOCO is totally free to join, and then you have to download the View bar software(currently in beta). It is a little Toolbar that rests at the bottom of your screen, and you can earn money while you surf! The View bar shows relevant advertisements, and you can earn money for up to 5 hours per month. You can also earn money for the number of hours your referrals surf. Go here to sign up - http://www.agloco.com

Make money writing articles

This is one of the proven methods to make money online. There are some scams out there too, so be careful. This is also a good way for traffic to your blog, because most of these types of sites allow a link to the author's website at the bottom of the article. Associated Content is a good website to write articles for money. They have gotten good reviews.

By playing online games

For gamers, this maybe one of the best ways to make money. There may not be high-definition games like Quake or Doom, but for people love strategy games and the sort, online game might be good. And oh, when you earn money for it, it would be the best!

Some of the popular make money games might be :

• World of Warcraft - While you might not make real $$ from the game itself, you can develop your character, get up to level 60, and sell your account for about $300!

• Moola - Moola is one of the best ways to make money online, if you are from US/Canada. But wait, you can still join and play and cashout when the international version is out. There are 3 games you can play currently. What makes Moola great is that you don't bet any of your money. You make money on Moola, and you cash out. Till then, there is no money of yours involved. It works like this : There are 30 levels. Moola gives you a penny to start with. You are matched on Level 1 with someone who has 1 penny too. The person who wins gets the other person's penny. So that makes $0.02. Then you can play on Level 2. And it goes on. So, it would be $0.01, $0.02, $0.4, $0.08, $0.16, $0.32, $0.64, $1.28, $2.56, $5.12... And on level 30, it is $10,737,418.24! Now, isn't that something? Moola is invite-based. You can ask one at the forums, or alternatively, contact me, at appusuganth@gmail.com, and I will be more than glad to send you one.

• Exodus 3000

• Runescape
