Easy Ways to Earn a Few Extra Bucks Every Week

If you are interested in making a few extra bucks every month, but don't know where to begin, I have listed a few simple methods that have been proven to be effective money makers. While you may not get rich, if you are consistent, you should make enough to cover a car payment or a few small bills. Simply pick a method and stick with it. You can only be successful online if you are consistent.

String together a few words: If you can write a coherent 400-500 word article, you are on your way to making a few extra bucks every month. If you work hard enough, you can earn enough to help cover your mortgage payment or completely pay for your monthly car payment. There are many webmasters and internet marketers in need of good content. You can provide it for them and make some money in the process. As you get better and your services start becoming in demand, you can increase your prices until you are able to make this "sideline" self supporting. You can find work at a number of places. Websites like Craigslist, marketing forums and freelance websites have new writing job listed everyday.

You may also be interested in submitting your articles to places like Associated Content and Helium. They will often times pay for good articles, however, not always. If they reject your article, you can still get paid through revenue sharing. Simply send traffic to your Associated Content article and you can get paid per page views.

Be willing to do a little grunt work: If you are willing to spend time doing the grunt work that many web masters don't want to do, you can earn some extra cash. Link building, article, social networking and directory submissions are tasks that many internet marketers would prefer not to do. If you are willing and knowledgeable, you can do the dirty work and get paid.

Become an affiliate: Affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to make money online. If you work with a legitimate program, you should not have to worry about getting paid. Your top affiliate marketing portals include Clickbank, Commission Junction and Linkshare. You simply become a member, peruse through their offerings and choose which companies or products that you would like to promote. Note, Commision Junciton and Linkshare do require that you have a website. If you need to get up and running fast, start with Clickbank. Sign up with Clickbank, find a book that you are interested in promoting. Get your links and then start promoting it. There are many methods of promotion. Try Google Adwords, Yahoo and MSN.
