Posted on July 24, 2008, under Easy Extra Money Ideas, Free Information.
If you’re looking for more ideas on how to earn extra money you should check out this site. These guys put up several videos that explain step by step how to build an online business that can bring in tons of money! The videos are even free.
I’ve gotten lots of good ideas from these guys, as well as their blog. Their motto of “simple” is my motto as well.
Write Reviews. Earn Extra Money.
Posted on July 22, 2008, under Blogging, Easy Extra Money Ideas.
We all have opinions, but only a few of us are paid for them. One way to attract buyer’s attention to your blog or your website is by writing reviews. The reason this attracts attention is because people who are searching to buy are looking for reviews to read right before they buy. The review you provide could give them the information they need to make their decision. That’s the kind of traffic you want, people who are looking to buy soon. Cris Rempel, of Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate fame, has put together a great report on this method. It works. I have a couple of sites that are bringing in a nice little income, and I haven’t touched them in weeks. Nice.
Sell on Ebay. Earn Extra Money.
Posted on July 17, 2008, under Easy Extra Money Ideas, Ebay.
Ebay is one of the most popular sites on the internet. At any given time there are nearly 16 million auctions on ebay. 16 million!! About 40% of the auctions end with the item being purchased. That means over 6 million auctions a day end with an item being purchased!! That’s a ridiculous number of purchases.
The obvious way to make money on Ebay is to list the old stuff you find lieing around your house. However, that is far from the best way.
Everyone is looking for a bargain on Ebay. The idea of an auction is that you might be able to get the item cheaper. However, more and more people are looking for new items at a good deal. So, if you can offer new items, at low prices, then you’ve found the secret to Ebay! But where do you get those cheap new items.
There are companies called dropshippers, that are basically distribution centers for these big name product manufacturers. They buy, store, and ship inventory. How do they help you make money on Ebay? Easy.
- Look for a hot selling item on Ebay
- Search your dropshipper for that item
- List the item on Ebay
- Complete the auction
- Send shipping information to the dropshipper
Your profit is the difference between the wholesale price you pay the dropshipper, and the ending price of the auction. Depending on the product it could be hundreds of dollars.
The key to success is twofold:
- Good prices on hot items
- Listing your item so that it stands out from the rest
I’ve given you a good start on how to earn extra money on Ebay with dropshipping. If you want more info, you should check out this guide.

Place Ads On Your Blog. Earn Extra Money.
Posted on July 15, 2008, under Blogging, Easy Extra Money Ideas.
In my free report, “Three Easy Ways You Can Earn Extra Money Today“, one of the methods that I explain is blogging. Blogging happens to be my favorite way because it allows me to have my own little place on the web, plus it really really works!
In my report I mentioned Google Adsense as a way to earn money with your blog. The good thing about Google Adsense is that it’s very smart about what is on your page, and so it will most likely give
people something they would be interested in clicking on. A single click could pay pennies, or pay dollars, but it pays nothing if nobody clicks on it.
A new service I’ve tried out doesn’t require anyone to click on the ad in order for you to get paid. You can make up to £15 per month for each blog or website you have their ads on. (It’s a British company, so they pay in GBP, but they pay directly to your Paypal account so they convert it to USD, or whatever you need. £15 is nearly $30.) They match their ads with the content on your site, that way their advertisers know their ads are relevant. Unlike Google Adsense, you don’t get paid for a click, but you are guaranteed to get paid.
It’s totally free to sign up. Right now they’re even giving a £5 bonus for signing up! Try them out, and let me know what you think.
Blog. Earn Extra Money.
Posted on July 14, 2008, under Blogging, Easy Extra Money Ideas.
Of the billions of websites there are, many of the new ones are blogs. People blog about everything from their favorite television show, to their gardens, to their pets. Many people just blog for fun, but you can turn your blogging into an easy way to earn extra money. I picked up a great guide to share with you, on how to earn extra money blogging.
It includes all you need to know, including:
- how to choose what to make your blog about
- where to find products to promote
- how to create your blog, for *free*
- what kind of blog posts to write
- getting people to your blog
- getting paid for writing, and promoting your blog at the same time
…and more.
It’s *free* so go ahead, download it, and take action! If you’ve got any questions, just leave a comment, and I’ll help you as much as I can.

Save Gas. Save Money.
Posted on July 3, 2008, under Save Money.
While saving money on gas is a bit off topic, the rising cost of gas is one of the reasons I started this blog. My family has not been immune to the crazy increases we’ve seen in the last year or so. I don’t think anyone can say that they haven’t changed their lifestyles at all. I’ve tracked our gas consumption over the last few months, and if trends continue we will spend nearly $5000 on fuel for our two cars over the next year! That’s not a small percentage of our income!
As a result, I’m always on the look out for great resources on how to save some money here. A few days ago I came across this guide. To call it a guide is a bit of an understatement. It comes with information on how to use less gas, how to use water for gas in your car, hypermiling, fuel economy reports for new model cars, a hybrid buyers guide, software to help you calculate your gas savings, and more. It’s really all you need to know on the subject, all in one convenient location.
Even if you aren’t successful in your ventures to earn extra money (which I hope you are), saving money has the same net effect. Give this excellent gas saving resource a try and see what you think.
Let me know what you think of this guide, or what you’re doing to save money on gas in the comments below!
Sign Up. Earn Extra Money.
Posted on July 3, 2008, under CPA/CPL, Easy Extra Money Ideas.
You’ll have to act fast on this one. Pepperjam Network, one of my favorite affiliate/CPA/CPL networks, is running a promotion this month (July.2008) where you get $10 just for signing up, and being approved. Once you’re in, you’ll definitely want to run some of their offers. If you’re looking for ideas on how to promote the offers you can check out some of the information that I have here or in my free report “Three Easy Ways You Can Earn Extra Money Today“.
Even if you’re new to affiliate marketing, or CPA/CPL, you’ll definitely want to check out Pepperjam Network. They’ve got some great offers to promote. If you find any especially good ones, let me know in the comments section. I might want to promote them too!
Submit Content. Earn Extra Money.
Posted on July 3, 2008, under Easy Extra Money Ideas.
If you’re looking for a way to get started earning extra money online, then look no farther than Associated Content. They take content submissions in text, audio, video, and even slideshows. If they like what you submit, they pay you. If other people like what you submit, you get paid a performance bonus. Some submissions can earn you up to $20, just upon submission. Don’t know what to write about? They have a handy section where you can take specific job requests.
You’re not going to get rich making submissions to AC, but it’s just one more small income stream that requires no work on your part once it’s done!

CPA & CPL Networks
There are literally hundreds of Cost-Per-Action (CPA) and Cost-Per-Lead (CPL) networks out there, but you don’t need to sign up to all of them. Most of the smaller sites are running offers identical to the larger sites. If possible, promote as many offers within one network as you can, so you can get to your payout threshold more quickly. Below are the ones I like:
- Azoogle
- Clickbooth
- CPA Empire
- Commission Junction
- Maxbounty
- NeverBlueAds
- Pepperjam Network
- ROIRocket
Typically CPA & CPL offers require someone to fill out a form, or complete a survey in order for you to get credit. Usually the offer leads to the participant getting something free. It could be a free product sample, free insurance quote, or free trial. Some offers pay really well. You can earn lots of extra money by promoting CPA & CPL offers.
