Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

In this article I am going to review six methods of how to make money and either give them a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down".

 

1. How To Make Money with Affiliate Programs

Affiliate programs involve companies offering commissions to people (ie. affiliates) in order to help them sell their products. Therefore, affiliates make an income by selling products, without owning a single product. Furthermore, affiliate programs do not require very much experience. Nor does it require calling people to push these products, or approaching people on the street or door to door.

Rather, affiliate programs are as simple as promoting your affiliate link online, and making sales through your link. There are several free ways to do this through blogs, Ezines, Forums, etc.

Affiliate Programs get a big thumbs up.

 

2. How To Make Money Filling Out Surveys

Companies want to know what motivates you, the consumer, to make a purchasing decision. In fact, over $250 Billion is spent on market research annually. Why so much? That's simple. If a company launches an unsuccessful product, not only do they lose out on a lot of money and time, but their brand also takes a negative hit. Therefore, to drive away all these worries, they do what is known as “Market Research”. In other words, they ask people what they would buy. What their opinion about A versus B. What they would like to see differently about a product. And so on, so they can target the market demand successfully.

All this is good but how can I make money from surveys? Money market researching companies offer its participants money to fill market researching surveys, do you know that your can make up to $75 for spending about 30 minutes online giving your opinion in one survey?

Paid Surveys get a thumbs up provided that they are paying cash, and not with chances to win, or coupons.

 

3. How To Make Money Driving Your Own Car Or Drive A New Car For Free

Many companies are starting to utilize vehicles as a mobile billboard.

 

How does this work? Essentially, you have two options.

You can:

a) Register your current vehicle to be tattooed with advertisement, and receive up to $3200 per month for your troubles.

OR

b) Receive a free new car painted with advertisement to drive around.

 

It is really quite simple, and I will let you give the thumbs up or thumbs down on this one depending on your situation. If you do not have a car, it could be a free car.

 

4) How To Make Money Shopping and Eating

 

Usually when you go shopping, out to eat, or to the amusement part, you come home a little lighter in the pocket book. However, there is a way for you to shop, eat, and go to the amusement park, not only on someone else's dime, but for profit. I know this sounds far fetched, but it is true.

 

Many companies spend millions of dollars to find out what their customers' level of satisfaction is, and what they desire. Well you can make money by being a customer and giving your feedback. They are actually paying you for this.

 

We always give free food a thumbs up.

 

5) How To Make Money With eBay

Everyone know about eBay right? Well, in case you answered "no", eBay is an auctions website allows people to buy and sell cars, software, computers, domain names, books, as well as nearly anything that can be legally bought and sold.

 

Some people make thousands of dollars on eBay, but others do not. What is the difference between success and lack thereof? The difference is what to buy? What to Sell? What are the products with least competition and highest demands? This is what matters on eBay. If you want to be an eBay Power Seller, you must answer these questions.

 

We give eBay a thumbs up because people do make money.

 

6) How To Make Money with Adsense

Adsense allows you to Google Sponsored advertisements on your website, and get paid every time an advertisement is clicked. It costs absolutely nothing, and if you have a high traffic website or blog, you could be making a solid income.

For instance, the owner of the dating website "Plenty of Fish" does not make his money from daters, rather, he operates out of a small office in Vancouver, British Columbia, and earns around half a million dollars per year from Google Adsense payments.

I believe this method of how to make money qualifies for a thumbs up.

 

Zero Cost. Zero Obligation.
