Protecting You From The LosersI figured it was time that I share a more organized list of the different programs I use to make money online. Obviously, I'm not here to "pimp out" any of these programs; I just to share with you the ones that do work and the ones that do pay.
So, this post is dedicated to the best affiliate programs through which I make money online...and it'll be updated on a constant basis. I currently use each and every one of these programs, and I highly recommend them as they have proven to: perform very well, provide great affiliate support, and perhaps most importantly, pay on time.
Program Performance Criteria
Affiliate program performance is based on many variables, some of which include: commission percentage, commission structure, payout history, payout threshold, eCPM (Effective CPM is the revenue amount generated for every 1,000 Net impressions), ease of implementation and affiliate/program support.
This page will only feature "make money online" programs that:
- Are honest and certain to pay on time
- Are easy to use and implement
- Definitely make money online
- Have healthy payouts and/or conversion rates
- Are affiliate-centered and willing to help you succeed
• LinkBucks - Make money from your links! Any time anyone clicks one of your LinkBucks links, you make money! It's that simple. Link Bucks has designed their system so that you'll be making money in minutes.
Your Links Have Value
When you share a webpage or a file with your friends, you're making money for someone. Websites and advertising companies make millions of dollars from the traffic they receive. The viral nature of the web has unfortunately left regular web surfers out of the money-making equation...until now. Linkbucks is changing all that by paying YOU for linking to any site or page that you want. :)
Each time one of your links is clicked - you make money! And you can point your links to any webpage or website you want (here's an example). As for payment, LinkBucks payments are sent out twice per month, like clockwork (on the 1st and 15th). Once your account reaches $5.00 you can request your money.
Without a doubt, LinkBucks is probably the easiest when it comes to making money online. Gotta love it!
Bonus: LinkBucks also has a 3-tier referral program. You'll earn 10% of your direct referrals' earnings, 5% of their referrals' earnings, and 1% of their referrals' earnings. Good stuff that can add up quickly. So if you want to make money online, LinkBucks is definitely worth a look.
• New!!! WorkFor3Dollars - This one is new and very simple...turn $3 into a lot of cash (up to $2,582,805, to be exact). A lot of us Yuwie users are having great success with this one, which is why I'm adding it to this list of approved programs.
Again, it's very simple. WF3D is a 3x15 forced matrix...with spillover. So when your upline has more than three referrals, you'll receive referrals (spillover) from your upline as well. I wrote a full blog post about it here on my Yuwie blog. You can also check out the comments from other folks to see that it is indeed working and paying quite nicely!
WorkFor3Dollars pays automatically through AlertPay. If you don't already have an AlertPay account, you can set up a free one here. Then head on over to Work For3Dollars and sign up with our awesome team. Bottom line, you can't lose with this one. It's already paying...and it's paying pretty damn well.

Aweber offers unlimited autoresponders, unlimited newsletters and broadcast messages, subscriber management, ad tracking, and a host of other awesome features for bloggers.

• WidgetBucks - Like Google AdSense, WidgetBucks pays you per click (PPC). But WidgetBucks also pays you per ad impression (CPM). In addition, WidgetBucks offers a pretty nice referral program.

All Yuwie earnings are based on page views and the RSR (Revenue Sharing Rate) for the month. Basically, whenever someone views your Yuwie page (or one of your referrals' Yuwie pages), you make money. To see why I'm so pleased with Yuwie, just check out this post.
