    Pay per email, pay per click via email, paid survey, or websurf/click on ads ( which defrauds advertisers by the way)and the rest of the garbage you see is not going to make you any real money. The only way you would make anything decent is to get hundreds of people to sign up under you. Just mouse over deathbringers links up there and you will see he has refferal code in each one of those links. This way if you did sign up you would be making him money.

    There are ways of making an income online but contrary to all the spammers and scamers it does actually take work. First you have to look if you have any marketable skills. Graphics design, html, programming, database, et cetera. There is much work out there for freelancers with skills. Take a look at the freelance sites out there and you can see what people pay for.

    If you don't have any marketable skills you can look into selling as an affiliate marketer. This is commission based work selling other companies products.

    Depending on the company they may give you your own website. However, if you can not map your own domain to it this will be very hard to market. You could create your own website to facilitate the sale of product(s) your viewers would be interested in or if you had a popular site you could sell advertising.

    You could create PPC ad campaigns to sell products for your affilates. You will need some startup capital for any advertising campaign and you would need to research the product(s) and keywords or you can easily spend far much more in advertising then you make in sales.

    You could look into getting involved with buying your own products at wholesale and creating your own store on ebay or your own e-commerce based website. If you don't want to take the time to get a business license or deal with wholesale you could try working with a drop ship company. However, with drop ship make sure you do research on the company before hand or you can run into problems down the road.

    You could go to thrift stores and purchase items on the cheap and resale them on ebay. I had a friend that used to go to four thrift stores a week buying up all their "concert" t-shirts at 25-50 cents and sold them on ebay for $5-$15.00. This made him a considerable amount of money per year.

    No matter what you do it will take work and dedication. Do NOT fall for the false claims of easy money, or the sites that say they will give you work but you must send them money for their "information packet" or some other line of garbage. Scams, Scams, Scams.

    I'm not as funny as others, but the best way is to sell great solutions to problems.

    You can sell ebooks, audio and video courses or both.

    Anyway it takes time to create and market products.

    Also you need experience in copywriting, marketing, and tech stuff. Or you can hire someone.

    Sell things on ebay. Pick up items you know you can profit from at garage sales, etc. We make a game out of it. We each take like $10.00 and buy whatever we think will give us the best profit. Then we sell what we bought on ebay or craigslist and the person who makes the most money on what they bought gets to keep all the profits. The original funds go back into the game!

    The same way you make money on anything else: with some ingenuity, some luck, and, most importantly: A LOT OF HARD WORK. Anybody who suggests the contrary is, with high probability, trying to dupe you.

    The internet gives you the potential to reach many people. But in order to do so, you must provide something of value, or at least of perceived value, that will attract this people. That could be a product you are trying to market, whether is your own creation or a resell or an import from another country. Or it could be a service, or entertainment, or information. The key is to attract a large number of people.

    You can make money essentially in two ways: by charging for the product, service, entertainment or information you are providing; in this sense the Internet is just one more vehicle allowing you to reach your market. And/or, if your site attracts many people, by charging others for advertising in your site. Some sites provide either a service (e.g., email addresses), entertainment or information (e.g., a search engine) for free, in the hope of attracting a large number of users and therefore be able to interest a community of companies and users who want to advertise in that site. Often, sites that are highly visited charge advertising companies on per “hit” basis, and an additional charge if one of the users clicks on their advertisement (something that can be tracked).

    But attracting a large number of users on a constant basis is tricky and requires some thinking, and constant maintenance and improvement of your site.

    One thing to be careful of: Some dubious characters attract people by making them think they have an easy way for people to get rich. In essence, their merchandise is “hope”, nothing else. Whatever their scheme, it would do no good to hopeful users unless they invest a lot of effort in whatever the enterprise is.

    There are really on three ways to make money on the internet. The first is to have an innovative idea that takes advantage of the strengths of the internet. Ebay and Google are a perfect examples of this.

    The second way is to sell products at tremendous savings over brick and mortar stores, or sell a niche product that cannot be found in stores.

    The third is to create a compelling content based site that attracts a lot of people, and then to sell advertising.

    Yarnlady is happy every day

    Making money online is harder and less reliable than any other form of work. A lot of people think that because they spend all their time online, they might as well make money at it. If it was easy, we'd all do it.

    If you come up with an idea that everybody wants, and get a lot of hits, advertisers will pay you, but that is so rare that it makes the news when it happens.

    Use common sense when searching for a way to make money online, and don't pay anybody for the answer, it's probably a scam. The pay-per-click sites are usually not reputable either. They pay a few pennies for hours worth of work.

    For more info, use the search list I have provided as a starting point, and do a lot more searching for yourself. Don't forget if you are in business for yourself, you will have taxes, license fees, and all other business related expenses to keep track of.
