Top 5 sites from which you can earn money online

Posted by Microments 2 July, 2009

Earn Money Online. Looks a spammy title. I used to find many posts in different forums with titles similar to these. Generally the post are one liner with a referral link referring to some earn money quick type of site. And the person who has posted that link are generally newbie in the internet marketing and most probably have not received any money from the program which he is promoting.

There are many earn money online type of opportunities available on internet, some are genuine and many are fraud. Generally the modus operandi of these type of sites are to sell the product which tells how to earn money online means earn money by telling other how to earn money online.

Although for webmasters there are many genuine money making opportunities. Other than selling own product or service, they can earn money either by displaying pay per click ads on their website or by promoting third party products and getting commission on sales.

There are many programs in internet where you will earn money, but will never receive in your pocket. You can see them accumulating in your account at their website. I am writing 5 affiliate programs, through which I earned money and got the cheque and cashed it.

Adsense : Pay per click program of google is the biggest money maker for all type of websites, small or big.
Commission Junction : CJ is the leading performance based affiliate network.
Shareasale: Another popular affiliate network, it is my favorite, because of simple interface and many good affiliate programs
Text Link Ads : Sell the link on your website, whether your site is small or big.
Adbrite : Pay per click, adsense alternative, but earning potential far less than adsense..
