NewBux - Make Money

Sign up for an account at NeoBux http://www.neobux.com/?r=safiashafiq

Once you are signed up, you can begin to get paid to click on advertisements. Standard membership pays $0.01 per ad and provides you with anywhere from 4-6 ads per day. It's not much to start out with at all, which is why I recommend you consider it a hobby for now.

When you have earned enough money, rent some referrals. With the Standard Membership, you earn an additional $0.005 for each advertisement your referrals view.

This PTC site allows you to rent referrals starting at $0.28 per referral for 30 days. However, do not spend all of your earnings on referrals! You will need to keep a little extra in your account in order to renew or recycle your referrals if need be. NeoBux allows you the ability to recycle your rented referrals should they become inactive and aren't earning money. This is a great addition when you consider that when direct referrals stop clicking, you stop earning and have no control over it.

Once you have some rented referrals under your belt, active the Auto Pay feature. When a referral logs into their account and clicks on an ad, their rental history is automatically extended for one day. This is a great way to keep active referrals and make it easier for you to make money online. In addition, it will save you 10% off of the standard monthly referral rate.

When you log in to view advertisements each day, take a look at your referrals to monitor their activity. If any of them are inactive, you can easily recycle them for a new referral for $0.08 in order to keep your referral activity level up and earn more money online. How long you allow a referral to remain inactive is completely up to you, but if possible, it is recommended that you do not let them go more than 4 days without any activity.

Continue to repeat steps 4 through 7. Remember it may take some time to earn money online and increase the number of your rented referrals.

When you have earned enough money, upgrade your account to Golden (membership costs $90.00). The Standard membership will only allow you to rent up to 500 referrals. By upgrading to Golden (or higher) you can rent even more referrals and save on rental costs.

As your referral list grows, you may find that you will need to spend more time each day at NeoBux in order to monitor activity. By this time, however, you should be earning more than pennies a day.

Write for the NY Times

The Times owns two sites that regularly hire writers.

I already mentioned ConsumerSearch.com up above, a site that uses freelance writers to create detailed reviews of common consumer products...minimum pay is $350 per write-up, and they do a lot of hiring.

About.com, another Times property, hires writers as guides. These positions, paying $725/month or more, are tough to get, but worth looking into.

Earn money reading emails

Really! Of course, there are ads involved, and you might be asked to click a few things, but it's not difficult. Expect to get 5-10 emails a day (more, if you register multiple email addresses), and earn a few pennies per email. Check out InboxDollars.com.

Listen to Music & Earn Money

At slicethepie.com, you can get paid for listening to music.

Listen to upcoming artists, and review their music. The more reviews you write -- and the better you are at spotting new talent -- the more you can get paid. Some folks are pulling in several dollars per review.

Earn by Play Games

At moola.com, you can get paid to play.

This is probably the strangest one yet, and I can't personally vouch for it (I've only tinkered with the site), but it looks legitimate. Moola starts you off by giving you a penny, which you can then double, and double again, through a variety of games and activities.

Presumably, they make oodles of money through ads, and are willing to throw some of it your way by participating in their zany set of games and marketing gimmicks. They call themselves a "Massively Multiplayer Rewards Game". It's too complicated to explain here, but worth a look.

Eany Money by Selling Your photos

At sites like istockphoto.com and shutterpoint.com you can upload still photos or videos for sale, and receive a royalty payment every time someone makes use of your content.

Writing Opportunities

At SoftwareJudge.com, write reviews of select software products...top reviews earn up to $50 each.

Product Reviews. You may be familiar with epinions.com, but did you know they pay cash for good quality reviews. You won't get rich, but you can get started.

Suggest domain names according to site descriptions at Pickydomains.com Get $25 for each name that is chosen.

At Xomba.com, write anything you feel like, and collect 50% of any advertising income from Adsense clicks on your page.

Become a fledgling journalist at examiner.com, and cover a special topic area in your neck of the woods...they pay pretty well.

Other writing sites include associatedcontent.com, firehow.com, helium.com, and Squidoo. In fact, one of my eHow colleagues has put together a very nice Squidoo 'lens' with 101 sites where you can get paid to provide content...check it out in the Resources section.

Earn By Writting

There are a quite a number of ways to take your skill as a writer and turn it into cash.

One of them is right here at eHow. Write brief "How to" articles on any topic of your choosing, and get paid for the article. The more popular the article, the more income you can expect. A good article will bring in $50 per year or more. Write 10 top-notch articles, and that's $500. A hundred articles...you get the picture.

I can't say enough good things about eHow. To my mind, it is the best income generating opportunity available. Google the term 'ehow101' to learn more about how to make it work.

eHow is now run through its parent company, Demand Media Studios (DMS). If you want to apply to write for eHow or other DMS properties, or to be an editor, check out the freelancer's application at demandmedia.com.

Earn Mony by your Skill

If you have a skill to offer, check out the various freelance sites (sometimes called "personal outsourcing"), like elance.com and guru.com

You can post your skills at these sites, so potential customers can check you out, and you can also look around for freelance projects that others have posted.

There are tons of opportunities for freelancers, in very varied fields. Common projects, though, are writing, computer or graphics design work, creating web pages, programming, writing brochures or reports, illustration, photography, and so on.

Pay can be pretty good, especially after you've earned a quality rating at one or more of the freelancing sites. At the same time, though, keep in mind that you're competing with freelancers from around the world.

Take a look at the "How Elance Works" video on their main page to get a quick overview.

Earn Money From Your Own Blog or Website

The key is to generate as much traffic as you can, and to have your visitors click on ads and affiliate links. The more people visiting your site, clicking on ads, and buying affiliate products, the more income you can earn. As good as this sounds, income is generally more a trickle than a flood. But again, steadily building your site (or sites), and building traffic, is the key to generating a steadily growing stream of income.

Google Adsense is the most commonly used service for placing banner and text ads on blogs and websites. As I've learned to maximize Adsense income over the years, I've come to recognize this as one of the best income-generating opportunities available.

You can also incorporate in-text ads (the colored, underlined text with small pop-up ads). Just as: InfoLinks.com - Kontera.com is another commonly used service.

Affiliate ads usually pay whenever a sale is made for a product. Amazon.com has one of the most well-known affiliate programs that all you to sell books or other Amazon products on your site or blog, and earn a cut of the sale.
