This article is guested post by Anil Garg.

Everyone wants to get some fruit in form of cash for their online efforts whether they are running a website or blog or participating in some online money making schemes. You will get hundreds of ways to earn money when you browse internet with keywords like ways to earn money online. Not all of them will work for you, so it is up to you to decide which money making program will work for you. When you decide any of money making program, I would suggest you to go for programs that requires no registration fees or are free to join and requires no money from your end to help you earn extra money from them.

In this article, I’m going to discuss top 5 ways that really are working for me and are helping me earn some cash every month without spending any penny. It is up to you decide whether they will work for you or not.

1. Pay per click ads – are the most popular and most used method of monetization used by websites owners and bloggers all around the world. And when we talk about using pay per click, the most popular websites that comes in our mind is Google Adsense. And you can even try Yahoo Publisher Network if you are a US citizen. Some other pay per click advertising networks are Bidvertiser, Adrbite, Clicksor and Oxado. We don’t need any programming knowledge to use Google Adsense or any other PPC network ads on our websites and blogs.

2. Affiliate websites – with affiliate websites, we are supposed to promote and sell other people’s products through our websites, blogs or e-mail list we have. We are paid some fixed amount of money for every sale we generate through our affiliate links with most of affiliate programs. Some of best affiliate websites we can try and are free to join are Amazon, ClickBank, Commission Junction and LinkShare.

3. Paid Blogging websites – you can make some quick cash with paid blogging websites if you are good in content writing. But you must have an active blog if you want to try earning money with paid blogging websites. Some of paid blogging networks that actually pay and are legitimate, are ReviewMe, SponsoredReviews, Smorty, Blogsvertise, LinkWorth and of course PayPerPost. Your chances of making money with these networks increase if you have a popular blog with good page rank, Alexa Ranking and high number of RSS Subscribers. You must have a Paypal account as all of these websites pays directly into your paypal account.

4. Text link & banner selling – Again you must have an active blog if you want to earn money selling some kind of advertisements like text links, banners, reviews or contextual links on your blog. Some of popular text link selling networks are text-link-ads.com, tnx.net, teliad.com and textlinkbrokers.com. You can even create an advertise here page on your blog where you can mention all advertising options available on your blog to get some direct advertisers on your blog.

5. Survey filling websites – survey filling is the easiest and most recommended way to earn money from internet even if you don’t have a website or even a blog of your own. We are supposed to fill in some forms with most of survey filling websites. And most of survey filling websites pays via Paypal or Check. But I would suggest you to check a survey filling website history and payment proofs before trying it. Some of popular survey filling websites that actually pays are CashCrate and Opinion Outpost.

@BloggerDaily,
Yea, paid blogging would be cool, but make sure the paid post company doesn’t require you to insert any dofollow link into the post, or you’re playing fire with your Pagerank. ;)

I have tried filling surveys before but I am sad that there is not much opportunity for international members. I think that filling surveys are for those who lives on Canada and the USA.

@Ridiculous Blogger,
I agree with you. I’ve seen many people have good experience with CashCrate but the bad thing is that is only for US members. Anyway, I believe that there is still some other survey filling website that is for international members, perhaps we need to find it out.

I believe that huge traffic should convert well into cash, especially for niche blog. I think you need to drive more traffic to your blog and test out all the money making programs, and see which program works well for your blog. You’ll find your success. :)

Nice post

I agree with all of the points, although im not to sure about survey filling websites. I’ve read a lot of negative reviews about survey websites and that most of them are scam. And even though if they arent scam they pay very low anyway.

Correct me if i’m wrong.

Lee, thanks for your advice. I finally settled on Adsense on this blog. Its making approx $2 per day in Adsense now. I tried lot of other affiliate offers – Adsense worked best so far.

I think I will leave it there.

@Ravi,
$2 per day is a good start for your blog, but I don’t see any Adsense ads in your blog?

I have tried PPC but seems to expensive as google has this thing called landing page quality score. Stop altogether. Now I am concentrating on organic traffic to to my Adsense sites. Building backlinks is one of my major strategy.

Very nice, by the way, I’m still in the process of adding more contents to my site, currently only attracting a few hundreds page view per day, looking forward to increase CPC & CPM income. Please give some advice on how it could be done better. Thanks
