Hello Friends,
I am a collegiate and need some extra money for my expenses. I have heard many names of various sites and links but I don’t know whether they really click. I need help so that I can decide some good ways to get going in the internet biz. Please give me ideas on making money from surveys or from affiliate marketing.
Thanks in advance!

Hi denim6000,

Those "get paid for survey" sites have always seemed scammy to me. I don't know anyone who has ever gotten much money and the ones that promise a money back guarantee usually make it so difficult to qualify for the refund that most people give up. My mom tried one of those once and to get your money back you had to do something ridiculous like sign up for 100+ services first. They are slick. First of all you have to fill out hundreds of surveys just to earn "credits". Then it takes like 10,000 credits just to equal one dollar. Don't waste your time.

The best way is to do what many of us are doing here is building a site on a subject that interests us and then find affiliate programs that match your theme.

If you like dogs, you could build a site on how to house train a dog and other dog information. Then you could affiliate yourself with companies that sell dog supplies and earn commissions when your audience buys products you recommend on your site. That's just an example.

www.associateprograms.com is a fabulous source for learning about becoming and affiliate. There's a great section on the site for beginners or people just getting started. Allan Gardyne is one of my mentors. I started reading his newsletters back in 1998 and got some great ideas and writing tips from his site.

Hey, why not you create your own video sharing website. It is very good idea to earn money. I also made a site couple of months ago with help of www.omnisoftsol.com. It has flagship product called VidsharePro. It is a video sharing script that not only allows anyone to start a video sharing website, but also allows anyone to sell digital as well as physical products on their video sharing website. Hope this will work out for you too.

All the best!

I went through a stage about 2 or 3months ago where i looked for anyway to make money online. I was quite successful, i made myself $50 within a month. While only spending 30mins a day. My profits would be alot higher if i had time to promote referal links for these things, so it could really add up.

I do want to eventually make a guide to making money online because i have tried EVERY site u can think of to earn money, and of course id only include sites that have paid me.

My number one pick for making money is defeintely LightSpeed Panel its offered to US, Australia, UK & a few other countries.

You earn points for doing surveys that are redeemable for money via paypal or other things like music vouchers and amazon gift cards. Its around 1175 points for $10. Most surveys are worth around 100-200points. I recently completed a survey for a coca-cola energy and recieved $14! They have always been quick with payments, taking less then a week on all occasions. This is definetely my top choice, the only downside i saw is qualifying to do surveys, you'll find depending on your age and job that some surveys will deny your participation. Although I never had a problem.

You should find the site easily through google, i do have the link around somewhere, if i find it ill post it up. Tell me if you have any troubles.

Also I have recently discovered My Search Funds which pays you to use thier search engine, after 3 days i had already made $2 just doing searches i would usually make, which was around 30 searches. If you do alot of searching or even if you dont you should check it out.
