Friday, July 20th, 2007
I did a little bookmark scrub this morning and thought I would share the remaining content of my “Online Money” folder. To warn you, there are certain things that I don’t like and never bookmark so:
What’s NOT included: Taking Surveys, Get Paid to Surf the Internet, MLM, Programs with a ton of negative user experiences (based on researching forums, Googling them, etc.), Contest Sites, “Buy my DVD, CD, Audiobook”, etc.
What IS included: Things you can use to legitimately make money online - Everything from Getting Paid to review software to good ole’ Adsense.
Anyway, here you go. The second batch is is available here.
- Adbrite - Sell space on your site for text ads
- Amazon Affiliate Program
- Easily create a store or shopping section on your site instead of sending your visitors to Amazon. Amazon handles the shopping cart and fulfillment.
- Amazon Seller
- Sell your stuff on Amazon
- Associated Content - If you write a story, how-to, rant, etc. you can submit it to them and they will pay you $3-$20 per article if they like it
- Azoogleads - Another ad program. They do have some decent companies lined up as advertisers. You provide space, they’ll provide an ad.
- BidVertiser - PPC (pay per click) program with a low $10 payout amount.
- Bravenet - These guys offer a ton of services for webmasters and blog owners. Although I feel like I was spammed for a while, it has ceased and they’ll pay you $1 for each person you send over
- Blog - Start a blog and consistently write excellent content. With good ad placement, you may make some money.
- Business Opportunities Blog - I am adding this because I am a subscriber to their site and I see ideas everyday that could result in making money. A lot of the ideas pertain to online businesses. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur, it’s a good reference.
- CafePress - You provide a design, they’ll toss it on a T-Shirt, Hat, etc. No upfront costs. Get a free online shop and promote your products on your website.
- Chitika - Their eMiniMalls service has shown great results for many Bloggers and site owners. You choose a keyword and they show relevant products on your site using a pretty unique interface.
- Clickbank - Another Affiliate Program site with 10,000+ products to advertise
- ClicknWork - Get paid $5-$150 per hour for basically doing freelance work on a per-assignment basis. You have to pass a pretty tough test to get in.
- Clicksor - These are the guys that generate contextual ads on sites that show up when you hover over a double-underlined word.
- Commission Junction - If you have a site, you can join Commission Junction. Once enrolled for free, you can choose companies whose ads are pertinent to your site. Companies have the ultimate say on working with you. Their are easily over 1,000 companies to choose from here.
- CreamAid - For blogs only, advertisers provide you with a topic and you write about it on your site. To do this, you have to install a flash widget into your blog post. The more people you bring into the conversation through the widget, the more you get paid. It’s difficult to explain.
- eefoof - Think of it as YouTube + Flickr + Music. You add original content and they pay you based on the visitors you attract.
- Ether - If you are an expert on something, Ether provides a way for people to pay you to talk about it in a one-on-one setting. If you want to charge $250/hr, that’s fine. You have to do all the advertising so you should have a blog or site already established.
- eBay
- Come on, you know what this is. Gather your junk and sell it!
- eBay Stores
- If you have a real store and want to sell your stuff online, this is a decent option to get you started.
- ELance - Name gives it away. Programmers, Codes, Web Designers, Writers, Editors, can look for freelance opportunities.
- Feedvertising - This is an arm of Text Link Ads and is currently only good for Wordpress 2.0 Users. This does me no good currently, but as you can guess, they place ads in your feed(s).
- Feedburner - Not only are they the best place to house your feeds, they will also add ads to your feed and website. You get paid per impression.
- Google Adsense - Come on, you don’t need an explanation. These ads are all over the place. Google displays relevant ads based on your site’s content
- Google Adwords - Create simple text ads and choose keywords that determine when they are displayed. This is where the Adsense Content comes from. You do not need a site for this.
- SHUT DOWN Google Answers - If you are good, Google will pay you to answer questions in your specialty. Questions all come from normal people like you and me. You can get paid $2.50+ per answer you provide.
- H3.com - Get paid to fill jobs. Commissions range from $50-$5,000. It all depends on how tough the job is to fill and how desperate the hiring company is. This is another one that’s tough to explain.
- Indeed.com - Add their job board to your site. They then post jobs based on the geographic location of visitors and the position types you pre-select. I tried it and I they continually report that I sent 0 visitors and I know that’s not right. Nevertheless, I may have an isolated problem so they make the list.
- InnerSell - If you have a customer that wants to buy something you cannot sell, you can sell the lead here.
- Jellyfish - This is a shopping site that pays you a percentage of the purchases made by people you refer. They are not part of a wider affiliate program so you do it direct.
- Jigsaw - It’s a pretty flaky model but if you have a Rolodex full of good contacts, you can sell them here. I can’t make sense of it but it looks like you get $0.10 per profile.
- KarmaOne - They are basically a recruiting website. If you fill one of their jobs by finding a good candidate, you’ll get paid anywhere from $50-$12,000. It all depends on how desperate the hiring company is.
- LinkShare.com
- If you have a site, you can join Linkshare. Once enrolled for free, you can choose companies whose ads are pertinent to your site. Companies have the ultimate say on working with you. Like Commission Junction, there are a ton of companies waiting to evaluate your site.
- Microsoft Adcenter - Bid on keywords and Microsoft places your created ads then they are searched for. This is similar to Google Adwords. You do not need a site for this.
- Overstock.com - Sell your stuff on Overstock.com
- Pageflakes - This is a company that developed a user-defined Ajax homepage to show feeds, flickr photos, and a ton of other things. Think of it as a replacement for your Google Homepage. Anyway - they’ll pay you $1 per referral that you send over. They are not part of a wider affiliate program so you do it direct. This one is pretty simple.
- Pay Per Post - I don’t agree with this model entirely but they have advertisers that will pay you to write about their products on your blog.
- Pheedo - If you have an RSS feed, run it through Pheedo. Like Feedburner, they can include ads into your feed and if you really become large, advertisers will pay a premium for you to show their ads.
- Shareasale - I’ve never really worked with them but I do have an account. They are similar to Commission Junction and Linkshare however they seem to have lower tiered companies with advertising offers.
- Shoemoney - This is a blog that can teach you a ton on making money online. I’ve spent hours reading his old stuff.
- Software Judge - They will pay you up to $50 to review software.
- Text Link Ads - I have never made a dime here but I know people that have. You can earn by sending advertisers to them or by selling spots on your site. You must have a real site or blog to do this - nothing on a shared domain (i.e. /blogspot).
- Vibrant Media - Don’t bother unless your site has 500,000 page views of text based content a month. If you have that readership, these are the guys that display bubble box ads to underlined words on your site.
- West Work At Home Agent - Not entirely online but this is worth a mention because it’s won awards and is very legitimate. If you are an at-home Mom or free-lancer without work, you should check this out.
- Yahoo Publisher Network- This is the Yahoo version of Google Adsense.
I know this isn’t a complete list and I am always interested in learning about more legitimate sites. So (and we’ll see if you are paying attention) the first person that can add 10 solid sites to this list will get $10 via Paypal. The only rule is that your list must abide by my, “What’s not included” sentence at the top of this message. Your list needs to be in the comments section of this post and the time stamp is the judge on who is first.
I’m good for it - don’t worry.

2007 Emmy Nominations
HBO got 86 nominations and ABC got 70, even if a lot of them are for things like Casting and Art Direction, that’s a lot nominations. HBO’s Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee got the most nods with 17. Being a total Sci-Fi geek I always want to look and see how the oddball shows faired, not too bad, really. Now they just need to win a few times.
EUREKA, First Eligible Year 2007 (This is a fun and silly show where the end of the world is always a possibility.)
2007 – 1 nomination
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, First Eligible Year 2004 (Absolutely nothing in common with the 1970s show it is named after. Great special effects and acting, but as usual in sci-fi, the writing could use a little help.)
2007 – 4 nominations
2006 – 3 nominations, 0 wins
2005 – 2 nominations, 0 wins
2004 – 3 nominations, 0 wins
Total: 12 nominations, 0 wins
HEROES, First Eligible Year 2007 (The best new show since LOST, a sci-fi show that does not rely purely on special effects to move the plot forward.)
2007 – 8 nominations
SMALLVILLE, First Eligible Year 2002 (Ok, I haven’t really watched this Superman comes of age show in a couple of years, but it still looks about the same to me.)
2007 – 1 nomination
2006 – 1 nomination, 1 win
2005 – 1 nomination, 0 wins
2004 – 0 nominations, 0 wins
2003 – 0 nominations, 0 wins
2002 – 2 nominations, 1 win
Total: 5 nominations, 2 wins
GHOST WHISPERER, First Eligible Year 2006 (The corniest of the I See Dead People shows, but still fun. It has great opening credits, if that counts for anything.)
2007 – 1 nomination
2006 – 1 nomination, 0 wins
Total: 2 nominations, 0 wins
LOST, First Eligible Year 2005 (Why couldn’t Charlie close the door from the inside?)
2007 – 6 nominations
2006 – 9 nominations, 0 wins
2005 – 12 nominations, 6 wins
Total: 27 nominations, 6 wins
MEDIUM, First Eligible Year 2005 (Another great I See Dead People show. There has the added depth of an actual home life and how being a medium can suck.)
2007 – 1 nomination
2006 – 0 nominations, 0 wins
2005 – 1 nomination, 1 win
Total: 2 nominations, 1 win
A couple of shows that I really like are nominated and I hope that they win.
THE TUDORS, First Eligible Year 2007 (Amazingly cool show, beautiful and disturbing.)
2007 – 4 nominations
HELL’S KITCHEN, First Eligible Year 2006 (Hey, if you don’t like watching some annoying Brit yell at people for an hour, why do you watch American Idol?)
2007 – 1 nomination
2006 – 0 nominations, 0 wins
Total: 1 nomination, 0 wins
See the complete list here. The biggies, more or less, follow.
Best Drama: Boston Legal, Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes, House, The Sopranos

Best Actress, Drama: Patricia Arquette (Medium), Minnie Driver (The Riches), Edie Falco (The Sopranos), Sally Field (Brothers & Sisters), Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: SVU), Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer)

I’m on the Internet more or less on a daily basis, so I’ve got a fair few websites in my favourites! I’ll sift this down to just 10 and tell you what they are:-
1) NEOPETS.COM
Neopets is a virtual pet website where you can create up to 4 pets. Although this website is predominantly aimed at children, there are a lot of adults playing on the site too! There are loads of games to play, forums to talk on, all of which are being watched by the eagled eyed Neopets staff in USA! You can also open your own shop to earn Neopoints (NP’s) (like money) or open a bank account to earn interest on you NP’s. It’s a really good fun site and a place to go and chill out for a bit.
2) BBC.CO.UK
The BBC is a fantastic website and holds a wealth of information. I’ve got this set as my my homepage. There’s games to play and lots and lots of information on learning on loads of different topics like ancient history, English, maths etc. The Interactive content on the learning section is really good too. Oh, and they do up-to-date news and weather reports too!
3) CIAO.CO.UK
Ciao, like Dooyoo, is a place where you can write reviews to earn money. (Like you didn’t already know that!). I’ve been a member of Ciao for little over 5 years now and really enjoy it there. As a sub website (3a) I’ll include Dooyoo as well. Although there was a time when I didn’t visit Dooyoo for a good while, I’m back now and still enjoying it here as much as I did when I joined the site back in 2001!
4) GOOGLE.CO.UK
Google is probably the world’s most famous search engine. What I like about Google is that you can find virtually anything you want here, including images. I visit Google if I want to find out anything about anything!

Wow. We never thought about it this way before, but if the web still looked like this, you wouldn’t need an iPhone with Safari to surf the web on your phone.

Where the Money Comes From ?
( SUPERB VIDEO DEMONSTRATION )
Paul Grignon’s 47-minute animated presentation of “Money as Debt” tells in very simple and effective graphic terms what money is and how it is being created. It is an entertaining way to get the message out. The Cowichan Citizens Coalition and its “Duncan Initiative” received high praise from those who previewed it. I recommend it as a painless but hard-hitting educational tool and encourage the widest distribution and use by all groups concerned with the present unsustainable monetary system in Canada and the United States.
