I am a stay at home mom that wanted to find a way to earn a little extra money while still making my children my number one priority. It is completely possible now with the internet explosion.

All you need is a computer with internet access and you’re off!  There are many, many options for earning money online with absolutely no money out of your pocket.  It just takes time to research them and find what will work best for you.  I have taken some of that valuable research time out of the equation for you by creating this site.  Here you will learn many of the easiest and quickest ways that even a beginner can start on the road to becoming an online success.

I’m only 31, but I still remember when the internet was this illusive thing that only the government, universities, and large corporations had access to.  Now almost every home has internet access.  This internet explosion has openned up the door to a whole new way of making money.  At first, to those who aren’t internet savvy, the words “make mony online for free” might raise some red flags.  But there are many legitimate ways to earn money online with absolutely no money out of pocket.

I will give you an overview of the various online money makers on this page.  This site provides information about various advertising and affiliate prgrams that are all free to join and can be placed on your current sites or blogs.  You can then navigate, using the site map in the left column,  your way to the topics that interest you most to find out more information. 

 

Run Ads on Your Site or Blog

My favorite way to make money online is to have a website or blog and to run ads on them.  If you are organized and outgoing, you can sell advertisement slots on your site yourself.  However, if the idea of making tons of phone calls and trying to sell your own ad slots doesn’t appeal to you, there is another option.

Many PPC (Pay Per Click) sites have popped up.  The most well known of these is Google’s AdSense program, but there are also many AdSense alternatives to choose from. PPC works like this, businesses pay a large PPC company (like Google) for advertising.  Each time one of their ads works (this means someone clicks on their ad) the business pays the PPC company, the PPC company then pays a portion of this money to the owner of the website from which the ad was clicked. Most PPC companies will pay you for your clicks via PayPal or check.

 

Join an Affiliate Program

Another option, or one you can do in conjunction with PPC ads, is an affiliate program.  There seems to be an infinite number of affiliate programs available on the internet.  Be sure to do you research before joining any of them.  It’s amazing what you can discover with just a simple Google search.  When something is a scam, people are quick to post their negative experiences on the internet.  So, be sure to look for those bad experiences before deciding what programs to join.  With an affiliate program, you earn money through a commission.

Two of the most trusted affiliate programs are eBay and Amazon, and both are free to join.  With both eBay and Amazon, you can place items for sale on your site and when people purchase them via your affiliate link you make a commission.

An affiliate program can be a great alternative or even compliment to a PPC program.  There are even a few PPC companies that also offer an affiliate program.

 

GPT and Paid Survey Sites

There now seems to be an infinite number of GPT, get paid to, and paid survey sites.  They are very simple.  It is free to join (never join one that requires a fee).  You simply take surveys or try out products and get paid.

Though many of the GPT sites are legit, some aren’t very practical.  Many do not offer many surveys or their surveys aren’t truly free.  But, when you are lucky enough to find a legitimate GPT that has a good selection of free surveys to take for cash, it can be a great way for anyone, even those with limitted computer skills, to earn money online.

I get checks in the mail monthly for doing GPT sites.  On my GPT blog, I go into detail about the sites that I like and how to earn the most from them.
