How to Make Money Through the Internet

How you ever wondered about ways of making extra cash? Have you ever considered trying to make money through the internet?  For those of you who said yes to the above questions. I may have some interesting options for you. Many websites offer easy and free ways to make extra money. Blog ads, online questionnaires, and video ads are great ways to make extra money online.

Some companies give people the opportunity to make extra money just by putting ads on your blogs or websites. Things like Google AdSense and AdBrite will pay you whenever someone clicks on the link that is displayed on your page. The outcome of these ads can be anywhere between zero cents to ten U.S. dollars. To have these ads on your site, first you must apply to one of the many sites that offer this opportunity. If you are accepted, they will let you choose key words or phrases to customize your ads depending on your site or blog. For example, if you have a food blog you can choose to put different food related ads to show your viewers. There are some down sides to adding ads to blog and websites. Like stated before, there is a chance that a certain ad may not pay as much money as others. You also have to think about how the viewer will see your blog, such as the appearance of the blog once the ads are added to it. Sometimes if the ad is an ‘in your face’ ad, the viewer may click off assuming it’s just a scam or even a virus.

As someone who has used online questionnaires in the past, I positively say they are actually a very reliable source of extra income. The whole point of the questionnaires is to give companies feedback on products we use every day. These questionnaires are easy to do and are usually based on things you’re interested in. Websites such as Opinion Outpost and Survey Savvy are two websites I would recommend. When first signing up for Opinion Outpost, the site will have a user fill in there profile to determine what their interested in. Based on that information, the company sends surveys that will interest the user. Survey Savvy is very similar to Opinion Outpost; it uses the same personal profile system. The only difference to survey  is that once you have made approximately one U.S. dollar, you are able to ‘Request Payment’; meaning you are able to receive the money that was earned through the mail. Personally, I feel the only down side to this method is the fact that it is time consuming. These Questionnaires require a person to take time out of there day to sit down and answer these questions. If someone has a very busy schedule or a family to take care of, they may find it harder to find time to take these surveys. There is also the risk that a website may not be trustworthy. Sadly, there are scam sites out there that will take advantage of you. Even though there are no specific list of sites that are scams sites, here is a link to a website that will help you determine if it is a scam site or not.

            Whenever you’re on YouTube doesn’t it seem like there is always that annoying ad that plays before the video, or even a pop up ad at the bottom of the video player while you’re watching a video? You probably wouldn’t think that, much like the ads on the blog, the user of that account is making money off those ads. This is very similar to the ads on the blogs. By adding Google’s AdSense to your videos, you can make some extra money. Another reason it is similar to the ads on blogs: for every click on these ads, you make more money per click. Over time, a partnership can be considered a full time job. Much like many other ‘YouTubers’, Charles Trippy, also known as CTFxC, has made YouTube his full time job; he has vlogged (video blogged) every day for the past 1612 days (as of 9/30/2013). He holds the world record for the most consecutive days documented by video, has ‘vlogged’ his engagement and wedding to his wife Alli, tour life with the band he plays bass guitar for known as We The Kings, and two brain surgeries. He also recently filmed while in the operating room of his most recent brain surgery. This video has been receiving national news due to the fact this surgery has never been filmed and posted online before.

It is required to post videos regularly to keep your partnership statues. As well as keep a clean name by posting acceptable content and following the Copyright and original content rules. There is also a chance of being denied when you apply.

            There are probably many different ways to make money on the internet, such as companies paying people to ‘spam’ others on social networking sites to click links. I personally believe the three methods above are more reliable, as well as less annoying to others. In conclusion, always be safe on the internet, and never give out your personal information.
