Now that you’ve signed up, or if you’re already a member at HubPages, here’s how I make money with HubPages. Let me say up front that if you’re thinking you’re going to make money quick with this technique, then you’re going to be disappointed.  It won’t make you a lot of money quick, but it will bring in some residual income month after month if you do your part.

The thing about HubPages is that they generally get better as they get older, just like most webpages. I love Hubs because they allow me to cover a subject that has too few profitable keywords to justify building a website. I may find some good keywords, but if there is only one main keyword and few, or a bunch of low paying secondary keywords, it’s not really worth my time. But if I can whip out a HubPage in 30 minutes and cover that one main keyword and the 2 or 3 secondary keywords, then I’m money ahead!

Plus, as an added bonus, HubPages has authority, so Google is more apt to rank a page from HubPages quicker than from a brand spanking new site!

The other nice thing about HubPages is that once they’re built, you have to do very little to keep them up. I build links to them just as I would any other site and sometimes update the content, but I pretty much build ‘em and forget them with the exception of building links to them.

I monetize my HubPages with Adsense, Amazon and Ebay. Even though I have a Kontera account, I don’t bother with it. I have also used affiliate programs from third party networks like ShareASale and Commission Junction to make money with HubPages.

Here How I Make Money With A HubPage

First off, you need to find a subject that you want to write over or a product. I’ve only been using HubPages for a little over 2 years and in that time, product reviews and comparisons have been my biggest money makers. For example, a comparison Hub might be a Hub comparing the Apple iPhone to the Samsung Galaxy S. With proper link building, I would bring in all types of people looking for a comparison between the iphone and the Galaxy S, people looking for iPhone reviews, people looking for Galaxy S reviews and probably people looking for an iPhone alternative!

Then, once they land on my Hub, they see that there is a Galaxy S add from Amazon right next to the review. If the review has done it’s job, they’re going to want to buy the Galaxy S and will probably do so through Amazon or Ebay!

Step By Step Guide on How I Monetize HubPages

For those of you who need a step by step guide, here goes.

You’ll need to find some profitable keywords. For you people that have no money, this is going to take some time. For those of you who are a Keyword Academy member, you already know how to find those profitable keywords with Niche Refinery (which is a free keyword tool only available to The Keyword Academy members). You members get to finding those green keywords! (If you don’t know what the TKA is, here’s my The Keyword Academy review)

If you don’t have access to The Keyword Academy, then you’re going to have to go and find profitable keywords. I suggest you start making a list, a long list, of products and things you think may be profitable. Then go to the Google Keyword tool and start typing in those keywords into the tool. Make sure you search for “Exact” matches by checking the box on the left side. There will be 3 boxes labeled ‘Broad’, ‘Exact’ and ‘Phrase’. You want to check ‘Exact’.

You’re looking for keywords that have at least 1000 searches per month (‘Exact’ matches) and have a CPC of at least $1. Once you’re done there, you’ll need to go to Google and search each of the top 3 to 5 websites for that keyword and see the authority of each website. You’re gong to need a tool like the SEO for FireFox Plugin to check the rankings of those sites. I look for sites with a PR 3 or below in those top 3 to 5 websites. This means those sites have a relatively low PR and that a HubPage with some links built to it should be able to outrank those sites. There’s a little more to this, but that’s what I’m looking for in a nutshell.

One way I find things to sell is to go to Amazon and click on a Category. Then use the “Bestsellers” tag or the “Highest Ranking” tab to find products that other people are buying. You can also do this on eBay by going to pulse.ebay.com. This will give you the items that are selling the most on ebay. Once you have a list of products, follow the technique above to narrow down your search for profitable keywords.

Once you’ve found some low competition but profitable keywords, make sure one of three things. One is that Amazon has a good variety of the product you found. If it’s not a product, make sure that it can be found on Ebay. If it can’t be found on either Amazon or Ebay, then go to the Google Keyword Tool and make sure there are at least 1000 ‘Exact’ searches or more for the main keyword and secondary keywords. Also, I want that keyword to have a CPC of at least $1, more would be better. These are the criteria I use for Adsense.

If it’s a product but you can’t find it in Amazon or eBay, then see if you can find an Affiliate Program for it.

Once I have my list of profitable (green) keywords or Product keywords, I go to HubPages and create a new Hub.

I make sure my Keyword comes first in the Title, for example ‘iPhone 4 vs Samsung Galaxy S’ or ‘Samsung Galaxy S – iPhone Killer?’.

Next, I choose the appropriate category from HubPages, then I select the layout. I use the third layout from the left most of the time.

Next is an important part. The Tags. I use as many tags as I can. You only want to have relevant tags for your keywords. Don’t just stuff your Hub with any tags or you run the risk of getting banned.

One trick I use is to go back to the Google Keyword tool and type in my Keyword. The list that Google returns should all be closely related to your main keyword. I use many of these (10 to 20 if I can find them) closely related words at the Tags in HubPages. This has been one of the biggest success secrets to my HubPages paying off. Because I will rank for many of those keywords that I typed into my Hubs as Tags!

I then click on the ‘Submit’ button and continue building my HupPage. I break my content up into little section with lots of text boxes. In each text box you can put a Heading. Make sure you Main keyword is in the Top text box heading and your secondary keywords are in the additional text module headings. I also want to make sure that my Main keyword appears on the page about 3 to 5 times.

How much content should you  use on your HubPages?

This depends upon the subject you’re writing about, but my hubs are always over 500 words and most are 700 up. The more you tell, the more you sell. Work those primary or “cousin” keywords into your content!

The other things I do that help my HubPages is that I write my own summary. I never check the automatic box. You’ll find several tabs above the box where your tags and modules appear. The one all the way to the right is called the Groups tab. I include all my related Hubs into related Groups. This give me great inner linking for my HubPages.

The next tab to the left from the end is the Summary. This is where I write my summary, including my main keyword and a few secondary keywords if I can.

Where To Position Amazon and Ebay modules for the Best Results

It seems everyone has their own way of building a HubPage and where they like their Amazon and eBay modules (Hubpages will automatically insert Adsense blocks into your Hub) I like my Amazon and eBay ads running up the right side of my content. If I’m reviewing or comparing several related products, then I make sure there’s an Amazon or Ebay ad right next to the sub-review. You’d be surprised at how well this words.

My next step after getting everything set up is to publish my Hub.

Next, I start building links to that Hub like crazy. For most of my Hubs, I use EzineArticles and GoArticles. Once again, if you’re a member of The Keyword Academy, you have access to PostRunner which is a directory where members can submit written articles in exchange for a link back to their sites. And once again, it’s only available to members of The Keyword Academy!

On average, I write 5 articles and submit them to EzineArticles for each Hub. I also write 5 more that I send to GoArticles and 5 that go to PostRunner sites.

I watch my Hubs over a Period of months and if that doesn’t get me good rankings, then I repeat the process over again. 5 articles to EzineArticles, 5 to GoArticles and 5 to PostRunner sites. This is usually enough to get me my HubPage on the front page of Google SERPS for my chosen keyword.

And that Boys and Girls is how I make money with HubPages. It may seem like lot of work, but once you get the hang of it, you can turn a Hub out pretty quick.

I currently have over 200 Hubs and they bring in a good amount of my income. My goal is to have over 500 by the end of the year. I try and build 10 per week (some weeks I do, some I don’t). If you work 7 days, that’s less than 2 per day. If you work 5 days, it’s 2 per day. It takes me about 45 minutes to an hour from start to finish to create one Hub.

And as I said earlier, this is probably the easiest way to make residual income because these hubs will continue to pay month after month (if they’re profitable keywords and on the front page of Google).

And remember, IT WON’T WORK IF YOU DON’T!!! No one is going to make these Hubs for you (unless you pay them well!). They won’t start making money until a few months down the road in most cases, but if you do your part, most Hubs will make money! On average, I don’t usually start making any noticeable money from my HubPages until they’re about 6 to 8 months old with lots of anchor text backlinks and on the front page of Google for my main keyword!

What I really wanted to see was just how well that system would work if you followed it to a “T”. Much like a beginner would do.

First off though, I want to rant a bit. I don’t visit the forums much over at the Keyword Academy. As stated above, I’m very busy and don’t have a lot of time. When I do get time, I’m working on my sites. The other reason is because of all the nonsense that goes on there.

Don’t get me wrong, there is a boat load of good info on there. The people are nice and very helpful.

No, what I mean is the ridiculous questions that keep being asked by beginners who obviously are not following Court and Mark’s program.

Look, if you’re a beginner and you’ve started the Keyword Crash Course, do yourself and others a favor and watch ALL of the video’s, especially the Core Video’s. They’ll answer just about anything you need to know. Don’t join and immediately go the forums and ask silly questions that are answered in the video’s!! It tells everyone that you haven’t sit down and watched the Core Video’s or the Webinar Video’s. It’s like saying you don’t want to take the time to watch and learn!

Okay, I’ve ranted long enough.

What’s New With The Keyword Crash Course

Court and Mark have done an amazing job with the Keyword Crash Course. I can’t imagine how much work they must have done in order to make everything run seamlessly. I have a great deal of respect for those two. They have, without question, put together the most informative and legitimate course on making money on the Internet that you’ll find anywhere. Bar none in my opinion, and I’ve seen a lot of programs come and go in my time.

Here are just a few of the things that are new.

1. The Niche Refinery. Helps you sort through keywords and helps you discover which ones have the potential to be the profitable ones. No more guessing whether or not the keywords you use will earn money. It’s the best Keyword Tool I’ve ever used, hands down.
2. The Forum has changed layouts and is much more user friendly in my opinion. There are a ton of features, including icons and badges that Members can obtain. They’ll show up next to your Screen name and Avatar.
3. The Webinars are now nicely organized so they can be downloaded and watched.
4. The Earners Club. This is a cool feature, especially if you visit the Forums. The Earners Club is a progress tracking system that is totally voluntary. You send your earnings verifications privately to Court or Mark and they’ll reward you with a badge showing how much per month you make via Internet Marketing. This let’s you know who knows what they’re doing and who is just regurgitating the same old crap found on the Internet! It’s like ‘I dunit, here’s proof’.
5. By far the best feature that I’ve found most useful is the Post Runner system. I can’t really go into detail what this system is or how it works, but once inside you’ll see that it’s worth it’s weight in Gold for getting your ranked!

Like I said earlier, Court and Mark have done an impressive and amazing job in just one year! At the time of this post, they’re running a FREE trial offer for the first 30 days. This is plenty of time for you to see what all the Course has to offer and learn some of the tools and methods successful Internet Marketers use.

The Keyword Crash Course – One Year Later

So what I did after doing the initial review was to go out and grab 7 domains for niches that I felt would be profitable using the formula for finding high paying keywords that Court outlines in the Course.

I then followed the directions outlined in the course. I did not use any of my other resources that I had available unless they were mentioned or proved by The Keyword Crash Course.

I built the sites using WordPress. I used Hostgator for my blog hosting provider.

From here, I simply followed the course’s instructions.

I have to admit, I had my doubts even though I knew this system worked. Of course, even when I do it my way, I have doubts. I don’t know why because they always work out.

In the first month or two, I saw little to movement in the rankings for these 7 sites. Of course, that’s normal unless you’re in a very Uncompetitive niche! Plus, I’m not a person who can sit for hours on end at the computer. I usually work about 3 or 4 hours total in one day and I break that amount of time over the period of the day. I guess you can say I have Affiliate Marketing ADD…LOL

But then months 3 and 4 saw these sites breaking into the top 100 and slowly creeping up the SERPS. This was exciting even though I’ve done it many times. I guess I was anxious because I was watching these 7 sites much closer than my others new sites I built doing it my way.

By month 5 and 6, a few real winners were beginning to show up among the 7. I had one that just wasn’t (and still isn’t) performing the way the numbers say it should, but that’s the real world. The site is in the top 5 for several of it’s keywords, but the traffic just isn’t there. I’m hoping it will come along once I expand the keywords it ranks for.

By months 7 and 8, I was making money with the sites. Well, actually some of them had been making money by month 4, but by the seventh and eighth months, nearly all were (all except 2).

I monetized several of the sites with Adsense and several with affiliate programs. Since I’m an affiliate marketer, I prefer affiliate programs over Adsense. You’ll also find out that some niches are just naturally easier to monetize with Adsense or affiliate programs.

Months 9 through 12 were spent tweaking the sites, adding content and promoting them further. I spent a great deal of time on the 2 slow performers and I found additional keywords to help one of the slackers. The one mentioned above is still giving me fits. Sometimes you just have to let ‘em go. Kinda like tough love for websites!

Am I making a killing off of these sites? No. But I am making some good money. How much you ask? Well, if you read my blog any amount, you know I stopped outing a lot of my methods and other info. But I’ll say they’re making just a little above 1k per month now and we’ll leave it at that.

If you need further proof this system works, as of the time of this blog post, the Keyword Academy blog has an unsolicited post from a Member who is making $800 per month from his website! Geez, it’s taking me 5 niche sites to do a little more than that!

It’s not surprising really. This system works if you’ll just put the time and effort in. I just wanted to prove it to myself even though it’s along the same lines I’ve been using for years. And the cool thing is, now that all the work has been done, they’re nearly on auto pilot. Very little work will be required to keep their rankings. This means you’ll have more time to create more sites following the Keyword Crash Course method.

They’re still running the FREE 30 Day Trial at the time of this blog post. What will you get for your free trial? You’ll have access to everything in the Keyword Crash Course. Unlike some other programs that only tease you with a few pieces of info, The Keyword Academy will allow you access to all the info. (if you choose the Premium account) The FREE trial is the best way to see what all the Keyword Crash Course consist of. If you’re a beginner or someone who has been banging their head against the wall trying to make a buck on the Internet, try the Course for Free for the first 30 days. If you’re like me, you’ve blown a lot of money on the Internet! Click here to look over this system Free for the first 30 days.

Having said that, a while back I bought The Keyword Crash Course. This is a course that Mark Butler and Courtney Tuttle have developed. The whole course was about starting Niche sites, monetizing them and getting free traffic from search egnines like Google. Although I was sure I knew 99% of the stuff they were going to teach (afterall, I make a good income from this stuff already!), I was hoping to learn a few tricks that would make me more money or save me time. I wasn’t disappointed in the course. In fact, I felt like the Course paid for itself within the first 30 minutes of watching the first video. By the way, the course cost $597. I’ve spent a lot more on courses that didn’t have near the amount of information in them.

If you know Court and Mark, then you know that they are honest and helpful. In fact, they’re some of the most honest and helpful people I’ve ever met on the Internet. Everything is laid out for you and they don’t hold anything back. (unlike a lot of courses I’ve bought!) In fact, I’ll go as far as saying the Keyword Crash Course is the most legitimate and easy to follow course I’ve bought. It’s a nuts and bolts Course that nearly anyone can follow and make money with. You can take a look at it by clicking here.

Within the first 30 minutes of the first video, Court describes how to find profitable keywords using “The Formula“. This was the bombshell that I had been looking for. Every once in a while, something will come along that makes you set back and take a deep breath, all the while thinking “Damn, this is what I’ve been searching for!” That is how I felt when Court showed me The Formula for evaluating profitable keywords.

I’ll tell you this also, when you start finding those little Gold nuggets of Keywords, it won’t take you long to figure out that you can use them to build Affiliate Sites rather than Adsense sites if that is what you want to do. If more people would use The Formula, there would be a lot less people failing at this game.

Before this, I had my own system for finding good Keywords, but it was hit and miss. Some keywords paid very well, while others fizzled. I still get some keywords that don’t pay when I use The Formula, but a lot less. By using Court’s Formula, I’ve been able to amass about 90 keywords that will turn into some very nice Niche sites.

Now Court and Mark have opened up the site to the Public and you can see everthing in the original Course for only $1 (yeah, the same Course I paid $597 for!)

Why Are They Only Charging $1?

Court and Mark feel that once you’ve seen the quality of the training material, you’ll want to subscribe to their monthly service where they’ll be bringing you more information about building and ranking websites, live Webinars and live Q&A sessions.

I’ve said it before, as have others, that local search will be the hot niche of the future. So far only a few bloggers have capitalized on this in their area. They’ll be sitting pretty by the time other bloggers figure this one out.

Update: I get a lot of questions about how to find and how to build Niche sites. The best legitimate resource on the Internet right now for learning all of this is the Keyword Crash Course. I took this course back when it was $597 and felt like it was worth far more than that! Now they’ve opened it up for subscribers. You can get in now for $1 and see all the training video’s that I paid $597 for and learn how to find keywords that pay, learn “The Formula” (this alone was worth the fee in my opinion!), set up WordPress, learn how and where to find backlinks plus a lot more.

I’m constantly amazed at people who are searching for the latest hot niche to jump into. Many times it’s right in their own hometown or region and they never realize it until someone else takes it. If it’s niche blogging you’re looking for, look no further than your home town!

Why Local Blogging Is HOT

The reason local blogging is so hot and getting hotter right now is the same reason search engines blasted off at their beginning.

People want information and they want it yesterday.

They also prefer that information come from a trusted source. And who not to trust but a knowledgeable blogger who blogs about their community. Surely there aren’t many people with more knowledge than this guy/gal who blogs about their town?

Local bloggers can connect with local searchers without ever meeting them. Take restaurant reviews for example. Have you ever read a review you agreed with? Perhaps it was a good review of Bob’s Burgers on the out skirts of town. You love Bob’s Burgers and you agree with the review. You’ve instantly judged that writer in your mind.

“Gosh, that reviewer is so smart, everyone loves Bob’s Burgers”

or

“What a dweeb that reviewer is, everyone knows Bob’s Burgers uses roadkill in their meat”

Either way, you’ve made a judgement about the character of the reviewer. If it was a good judgement, you’ll definately listen a little closer the next time the review something. 

Once you have a captive audience, the World gets a little easier!

How to Monetize Local Niches

The sky is nearly the limit on how you choose to set up your blog on your local community. I’ve seen some blogs that had forums and business directories while others just blog on local events and people. It’s up to you how far you want to go.

I would start out by using a Magazine or News type blog theme. These use multiple subjects on the front page. The Revolution News theme by Brian Gardner would be an excellent choice.

How you choose to monetize your local blog is also up to you. Many simply use Adsense, which works well for local Internet surfers. However, by including a Jobs section and a Hotels or Travel section you could use Affiliate Programs from sources like www.ian.com and Job-O-Matic.

Your largest source of income though will likely be from local advertisers. You’ll probably have to sell some adspace on your blog to begin with, but after a few months if you continue to grow, the advertisers will be seeking you out.

Start by making a list of some of the top business’s in your area. You then send them all a sales letter along with a business card telling them about your blog and how they could increase business by advertising on it. Don’t send EMAIL!

Paid reviews can also be a huge money maker for local bloggers. Just make sure you do honest reviews about products or services you actually own or have used. If you continually post favorable reviews to places that everyone knows is a dump, you’ll soon loose your trustworthiness with the local readers. Tell the advertisers up front that there is no guarantee of a good review simply because they paid to have one.

Promoting your local blogis no different than promoting any other blog. Until people find your blog and start backlinking and sharing it with others, promote it just like your would any other website. Article marketing, submitting post to all the Social Media sites, directory submissions and so on. Make sure you use local keywords for your anchor text and you’ll soon see traffic come trickling in. Do you job well and you’ll see this trickle turn into a raging river of local traffic!

But I Live In A Small Town, There’s No One To Read My Blog!

I’ve heard this argument before. I’ve seen blogs covering towns with just 10,000 people do very well.

If you live in a small town, then widen out the scope of your blog. Blog about your County or Region. Don’t go getting to large though or you’ll risk having a blog that is vague and hard to rank for any specific keyword. Remember, this is a niche! Start off with your town and work your way out.

In large Metro areas, you may want to just take a section of the city and blog about it. I know a local blogger that only talks about her home life and the downtown area where she lives. She has made herself the “go to” person when it comes to events or other happenings downtown. Local advertisers can’t get enough of her site.

Trying to blog about the entire city of Los Angeles would be as much of a disaster as trying to blog about California. Remember, think small and connect with the people in your local area. This is why local blogging is such a hot niche and why you should learn how to build niche sites.

Could you make extra cash online in a week to buy your Family’s groceries? Could you make enough money to pay your electric bill?

Believe it or not, many people find their self in this situation or one very close to it every day.

Here are 7 Techniques you could use to put some cash in your pocket within a week working online.

1. Project Payday – As an experiment one day, I tried Project Payday just to see how long it would take me to make extra cash. It was free to join so I signed up at their website, downloaded and watched the training video’s they provided. I followed the directions for getting set up to a ‘T’.  All total, between the sign up, watching training video’s and implementing the instructions, took me a little over 3 hours. I then spent about half a day just browsing and reading to get a feel of how this program worked.  I then put my name out as being available for some “offers” and I made $30 by the end of the first day. Next day I put about 6 hours into the program and made over $90 total. They have a $100 guarantee that states that if you follow the simple 4 step process and do not make money in the first 24 hours, they’ll give you $100. Pretty cut and dried and the best guarantee I’ve seen. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a get rich quick scheme. You’ll have to work at it but you can earn money quickly. I personally found it very tedious though! I’m not cut out to spend long stretches at the computer. You can sign up for free with Project Payday and get started today by clicking here. It’s one of the few places where you can start making a little bit of money relatively quick.
2. Read Emails – Taking Online Survey’s, etc: In my opinion, this takes about as much time as Project Payday. There are companies that receive thousands of emails every day that need to be read. Obviously the CEO or other employees can’t spend every day reading emails, so they outsource this. There are several companies where they outsource this type of work as well as other tedious, time consuming chores such as product testing, online surveys, online mystery shopping and other. Send Earnings is one such company that have these offers. Consumers such as you sign up and are normally paid on a per assignment completed basis. The pay varies by what type of assignment you choose. You also won’t get rich doing this, but you can make a little money with some effort. Click Here to learn more or to sign up for this opportunity.
3. Become an Online Researcher - This will entail you signing up with a company that provides research and survey’s to Corporations about their products and services. Once you sign up, you’ll then have an opportunity to take survey’s. These are appointed points. For each survey you complete, you’ll get the allotted amount of points. You rack points up until you decide to cash them out. Most companies use PayPal to pay its researchers. What ever you do, do not, I repeat DO NOT pay a research or survey company to work for them! Any legit company allows it researchers to sign up free. One such company is MySurvey. The provide survey’s and market research data to large Corporations and it seems they’re always looking for Researchers. Click here for more info on MySurveys.
4. One word. Ebay. There are so many ways to make money with eBay that it isn’t funny. Ebay has allowed many people who would not have been able to support their self or their Families to make more than enough money to live well. One technique that I used when I was between jobs many years ago was to visit Garage sales and Estate auctions and buy products to sell on ebay. You have have a good idea what something is worth in order for this to work. Looking at something and saying “Oh, this looks like it’s valuable” isn’t good enough. You’ll wind up with a house full of junk! 
5. Are you a Photographer? There are several freelance photography websites on the Internet where you can sell your photo’s. You don’t have to be a Professional either. Just as long as your photo’s are clear and eye catching, you can sell them on sites like iStockPhoto.com. There’s a huge demand for stock photography and illustrations. You might as well get your share of the cash! There’s also a huge market for other types of photo’s, but I’ll let you figure those out for yourself
6. Sell your Service. Do you know how to use a specific program inside and out? Can you take QuickBooks or any of the MS Office programs and make them beg for mercy? Then you have skills that are in need. Places such as eLance, RentACoder and others have forums set up to help you sell your services. Some of these pay really well also, they’re worth checking out if you need some quick cash!
7. Set up a local directory site. I’m telling you people something right now. I think the future of the Internet is in the local markets. Remember when the Internet got off the ground and the buzz word was “Think Globally?” I’m going to tell you now to “Think Locally!” You treat your local market like a Niche, which it is. Build a Niche site about your local area and charge advertising or use Adsense. The best training I’ve seen is over at The Keyword Academy. Court’s course takes you through everything you’ll need to know to set up a profitable Niche site. From finding the right keywords, to setting up WordPress to learning how and WHERE to get backlinks, it’s all there. I paid $597 for this course and I can honestly say this is one of the few legitimate courses about learning how to make money online that you’ll find. I earned my money back in a very short time

Whether you’re a college student needed a few extra bucks for the keg party, a stay at home Mom who needs some extra cash for the heating bill or just found out your company doesn’t need your services any longer, you can use the techniques above to help bring home the bacon.

There is no reason anyone has to lay back and go broke. I’ve known people who were dead ass broke and would not lift a finger to do anything except complain about being out of a job and having no money.

There are opportunities all around us to make money online. It’s up to you to get up and do it though, no one else will do all the work!

Some online entrepreneurs have used the above techniques plus others to start part time cash businesses and grew them into small fortunes. You don’t have to become the next Donald Trump, but there is no reason why you can’t make extra cash online to live off of if you had to.
What are some ways you’ve made quick cash from the Internet in your local market?

I dismissed blogging in general because it takes some time to learn how to make money fast (the exception is local websites and blogs, see below). I assumed the emailer needed to find ways to make money fast.

Here are my suggestions to the emailer.

1. Project Payday: A few months ago, I experimented with a way to make money quick online with a program called Project Payday. I took a day and researched this project online. Seemed real people were making real money with it. Not getting rich, but making enough extra money quickly to pay some bills or other stuff. The next day I signed up with Project Payday, watched the training video’s and browsed the Forums to get a feel as to how this program worked. In all, this process took me a few hours. The next day I followed the directions and made myself available for some “offers”. The first day, I made $55. The next day I hit it hard for about 6 hours and brought down $105 for my efforts. The following day, I worked 3 to 4 hours total and made $65. I soon found out one drawback to this program. It’s boring! No special skills are needed other than the know-how to operate your computer and use the Internet, but it is tedious work. I’m not cut out to spend hours behind a computer! Most people can make money quickly with this program, but you’ll have to put the time into it. The more time you put into it, the more money you’ll make generally. It’s not rocket science but you will have to keep track of the trials you sign up for. If you’re interested, check out Project Payday by clicking here. It’s free to sign up if you fill out an offer or you can buy directly into the program. Next you’ll need to read the promotional literature they have and watch the training video’s. They even have a guarantee that says if you follow the simple 4 step process in Method 1 and don’t make money in 24 hours, they’ll give you $100! This is the best guarantee I’ve seen online. I doubt anyone will need it though, because I found it easy to make money with Project Payday although it was boring computer work.
2. Read Emails – Taking Online Survey’s, etc: In my opinion, this isn’t as easy as Project Payday, but it’s real close. There are companies that receive thousands of emails every day that need to be read. Obviously the CEO or other employees can’t spend every day reading emails, so they outsource this. There are several companies where they outsource this type of work as well as other tedious, time consuming chores such as product testing, online surveys, online mystery shopping and other. Send Earnings is one such company that other companies outsource to. Consumers such as you sign up and are normally paid on a per assignment completed basis. The pay varies by what type of assignment you choose. You choose where you want to make money. Click Here to learn more or to sign up for this opportunity.
3. Become an Online Researcher- Large Corporations today rely on tons of data and feedback from consumers to develop and improve their product lines. Many use focus groups to test products and services before the general public ever gets chance to see it. MySurvey is one company that provides this kind of market research and feedback data to these Corporations. They do this through people like you. How? You sign up with MySurvey and take survey’s about consumer products and services. Each survey is designated with a certain number of points. When you complete the survey or market research questionaire, your awarded those points. When you reach the minimum amount for a cash out (every company is different as to what point you can cash out) they will pay you. Generally through PayPal. So you get the money pretty quick. TIP: Never, ever pay a company to take market research surveys. Legitimate companies will never require you to pay. MySurvey has FREE signup and you can get started earning money through them pretty darn quick! Click here to visit the Official MySurvey page.
4. Make Money On Ebay - There are many ways to make money with eBay. It seems that the 2 most popular ways are either by going to Garage Sales or Estate Sales and buying stuff to resell. You can make some decent money this way. Back in 2001 I did this same thing for several months and I made around 1-1600 per month. But it was long hard work making all those auctions or driving around looking for deals at Garage sales. Another way that is becoming more and more popular is people starting their own online stores with the help of eBay. ProStores is an ebay company that offers several packages for you to start your online store. They do a lot of the work of getting set up for you. If this sounds interesting, give them a test drive.

5. Become an Online Tutor – I’m not sure what this pays, but I’ve known people in the past who have worked with companies like e-Tutor, SmartThinking and Tutor.Com. Online tutoring is an in-demand service and growing all the time. If you like helping others learn, this could be just the ticket for you. You will have to set aside a certain number of hours per week, anywhere from 2 hours on up on average depending upon which service you go with.
6. SwagBucks – Although you can’t make money directly with Swagbucks, you can earn free gift cards and merchandise. My Wife uses Swagbucks as well and loves getting the Amazon.com gift cards to get stuff from Amazon, but Swagbucks has their own catalog of nice products. In fact, she has gotten some nice jewelry from them for her and our daughter. The way this works is that you earn points by browsing the Internet using the SwagBucks tool bar (downloading is easy, free and you’ll rack up points faster by using it to search the Internet with) and doing other things like taking polls and survey’s or watching video’s. I know several people who get their free merchandise like jewelry or electronics and then turn around and sell them for a nice profit on Ebay and Craigslist. If you surf the web a lot, then this may be just the thing for you. I sign in every time I surf the Internet or shop online and my points rack up fairly quick. I also watch their video’s and take their polls to add my points to my account. Click here to check out Swagbucks! What’s cool is you can sign up through your favorite Social Netowrk like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Yahoo and Google. I’m betting you’ll see some of your friends who are using Swagbucks to get gifts and merchandise!
7. Become an Online Juror – Even Lawyers need to practice! There are places such a eJury and TrialJuries.Com that stage mock trials. The Jurors get paid anywhere from $5 to $60 depending on how complex the case is. There’s no guarantee you’ll get a case, but it has to better than cleaning up after the old folks at the Senior Citizen Center! Many colleges have access to these mock jury trials, but from what I’ve been told, they don’t pay as much as the online jury pools. Also, as with anything in life, if you slack off on the Jury, don’t expect to be called back. The more you pay attention and get involved, the more likely they’ll “keep your name around.”

Some college students show up on the first day in a bright shiny BMW convertible. Those are the ones who do not need help. For most College Students, a few extra dollars a month goes a long ways in making it easier to study for their classes. If you’re in a pinch, there’s no need to run down to the Blood Center to give blood, just turn your computer on and go to work with these quick and simple ways to make money fast.
