40 Ways to Make Money Online

How often have you linked to a site in a forum or blog or offline and thought to yourself – I should be getting paid to promote this site?

That’s what affiliate programs do – they pay you if you earn sales for them. Some sites, like LunarPages or Thinkhost for example, will pay you up to $97 for a single referral.

So if you tell people about a good host you recommend and they use you’re affiliate links (like I have added above) and sign up, you can earn mega bucks for simply telling people about a site.

Clickbank and Commission Junction are just two affiliate networks who display a list of sites that run these types of programmes. Big sites like ebay and amazon also run their own affiliate programmes who’ll pay you for giving them sales.

I guess you are in effect, getting paid on commission, just like one of those salesmen, going around ‘door to door’ selling bibles. The more doors you knock on, the more books you’ll sell

This is something I’ve noticed over the past year or so, it’s becoming more and more popular..

I’m sure you have a forum account somewhere that you regularly post on. If so, 99% of the time, you will have ad space sitting right under your nose.

In most forums, you have the option to create a signature link and an avatar. If you’re active on forums, there are people who will PAY you to rent out your signature and avatar. All you have to do is link out to a site and maybe display a little image as an avatar.

Easy money and a great way to earn passive income – as most of us post on forums for free. If you’re really clever, you could also link out to an affiliate program or just use an affiliate link that pays per signup or per sale. You can check out clickbank or Commission Junction for some offers, and use tinyurl to disguise the link

To sell your sig just advertise it on a forum like DP and if you’ve loads of posts and you’re a long time user, you’ll have no problem making a few bucks.
