Make Money Online - Online Money Makers That Work!

Protecting You From The Losers

I 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

Recommended Moneymakers

• CashCrate - CashCrate has a three-tiered referral program. With CashCrate, just complete free offers and get paid. Yes, it's really that simple! CashCrate also offers a referral program. Refer others to CashCrate and you get paid a percentage of their earnings.

The CashCrate referral program pays you a hefty 20% of what your direct referrals make, as well as 10% of what their referrals make! Definitely an excellent program to help you make money online with your blog or website.

• Aweber - Aweber offers a two-tiered affiliate program. With Aweber, you earn 20% on all of your sales, and 10% on all of the sales made by anyone you refer to Aweber (your Aweber sub-affiliates).

To note: Aweber is considered by most (including Darren Rowse of Problogger) to be the absolute best follow-up autoresponder solution available today. Aweber offers unlimited autoresponders, unlimited newsletters and broadcast messages, subscriber management, ad tracking, and a host of other awesome features for bloggers. And best of all, Aweber pays monthly, residual commissions on all sales!

• 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.

• 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.

• Affliate Future - Earn money from a broad range of advertisers and affiliate programs. Affiliate Future offers pay per sale (PPS), pay per click (PPC), and pay per lead (PPL) affiliate programs. Affiliate Future also offers a referral program. Refer other affiliates to Affiliate Future and earn 5% of the commissions they earn...forever.

I'll be adding more "make money online" programs here once I finish testing them for positive results. In the meantime, take care and happy money making!

Shareapic - Make Money With Your Pictures!

Got Pics? They'll Pay You!

When it comes to making money online, there's no question that revenue sharing is "where it's at" right now on the Web. With video sites like Revver, and social networking sites like Yuwie, Internet users can now cash in on their own content and Web activity, thus, making money from the very things they used to do for free.

The most recent website to adopt the revenue sharing model is Shareapic. Shareapic allows the average Internet user to make money from the pictures he/she puts online, whether they be on MySpace, Facebook, eBay, in forums, etc.

And for us bloggers, it's even more exciting. Why? Because we include pictures in our posts all the time. And now we can actually monetize them!


How Does Shareapic Pay?

Shareapic pays based on image views. What this means is that every time someone clicks to view one of your pictures anywhere online, or views a picture in one of your online galleries, you make money.

The Shareapic pay rate is simple: CPM of $0.22 to $0.25 (or rate per 1000 impressions).

Ca$h payments are made through PayPal, though you can also choose to be paid by gift certificate for places like: Amazon.com, Target, eLUXURY, etc. Personally, I'll just take the cash, thank you very much! ;)

Shareapic In A Nutshell

• Shareapic pays you to upload and store unlimited pictures
• Link them to blogs, MySpace, eBay, forums...anywhere
• Share them with family, even order prints of them
• Upload unlimited pictures
• No file size restrictions
• Create unlimited galleries
• One click posting to MySpace, WordPress, Blogger, Hi5 and more

But wait! That's not all! LOL.

Make Money From Other Peoples' Photos

Shareapic also pays you for referring new users. Each time you refer a new user to Shareapic, you earn 10% of their image views as well - forever. Shareapic offers several link and banner codes that you can use to invite new users.

In my experience over the two weeks, the sign up rate has been pretty impressive. I credit this to the fact that Shareapic appeals to just about every Internet user out there, is completely free, and is incredibly simple to use.

Additional Traffic To Your Photos

Shareapic also includes a variety of built-in options to help you generate even more traffic to your pictures and picture galleries, creating that much-loved viral effect.

Digg: Each picture gallery page has the "Digg This" submit button built into it. As we all know, Digg.com can be an awesome source of traffic. If someone Diggs your gallery or picture(s), then other people on Digg have an opportunity to look at it (and Digg it as well).

Social Bookmarks: Each gallery page includes a bookmark button that allows people to post your gallery to their own pages on their social network profile, blog, personal page, etc. Here are the bookmarking options:


Link to it!: Each individual picture has a "Link to it!" option that allows people to link directly to your photo. This automatically generates the HTML code necessary for it to be posted on a blog or website, in forums and on message boards, and in Email or instant messages.

Share on Facebook: Each individual picture also has a "Share on Facebook" option that allows people to add your photos right to their Facebook pages!

Each of these are excellent when it comes to generating traffic and will definitely serve to boost your Shareapic earnings. Bottom line, more views = more $$$.

Keeping Photos On Your Own Server

If you're like most website owners, you like to keep your pictures on your own server in order to keep a handle on how your pages load. No problem. Here's what I do...

I upload the pictures to my blog, just like I would ordinarily do when including pictures in a post. Then I upload to Shareapic, copy the picture URL, and link it to the picture on my blog. This way, I can be sure that my pictures will always load the way I want them to, while earning money from them as well. :)

Overall Shareapic Conclusion

So far, I'm quite pleased with Shareapic. I've always used photos in my posts here on this blog, and now I can make some money from them as well. Shareapic is a really nice way to monetize content on your site without taking away from the quality of it.

As for issues, the only thing I've noticed is that due to the rapid growth they've experienced, the site has been a wee bit slow on occasion, though I haven't noticed that recently. But other than that, it's definitely two thumbs up for this one.

Happy Opposite Day - You're A Jerk!

Today is Opposite Day. Yes, believe it or not, there actually is such a day. And it's celebrated on January 25th - though it can also be initiated on any other day of the year by someone simply declaring it to begin.

As we all know and remember from being school children, when Opposite Day is declared, every statement made means the opposite of what is said. Because of that, and in my opinion, this is a really stupid holiday. But more than that, you're an idiot.

Opposite Day 2008

As many of you know, I have a Link Love Loser Award that I give out whenever I do a Super Link Sunday blog post. The Link Love Loser Award is an award that I reserve specifically for bloggers whom I can't stand, really hate and totally despise - on Opposite Day.

So what better way to celebrate this Opposite Day than by revisiting some of the past Link Love Loser Award winners! So here they are - in chronological order from the first LLL award winner to the most recent:

• Revellian - Revellian is the personal blog of Bobby Revell. So far he's got to be one of the absolute worst bloggers I've ever had the misfortune of discovering. Not only is Bobby extremely selfish as a person, he's also extremely close-minded and totally intolerant of other people's views. Gosh, I hate this guy.

• Bush Mackel - Bush's blog is utterly pathetic and totally devoid of anything pertinent or useful. In fact, it's such a tedious and empty read that I strongly suggest you ignore it's existence entirely!

Trust me, this guy doesn't know his ass from third base. Loaded with misguided, amateurish posts, Bush's blog is nothing but an empty vessel into which nothing good is poured.

• MeAndMyDrum - Snooze alert! This blog is a stale boredom sandwich with a side of fail fries. The author is a twit and the design sucks. Honestly, I'd like to spend more time describing this blog, but I'm dozing off just thinking about it.

Oh yeah, and here are some more pathetic LOSERS...

Tish, Hernan, Jesse, Garry, Todd, Mike, Opal, MUSE, Darren, John, Brown, Forest, Speedcat, Bucky

Btw...if I left you out, don't contact me about it. It just means that you smell bad.

Happy Opposite Day!
You're a Dork!
