As the days go by more and more individuals are searching for alternative ways to earn their income. As we are facing difficult times in our economy it is harder to find regular jobs and most of all keeping the ones that we already have.
For those who are looking for alternative ways to make money, here are top 10 ways that you can use:
Become an affiliate/partner - to be able to do this job you usually need a website to promote products or services. This means that you build your own site and embed their links with your ID in it. They have to be relevant to the topic of your site. Sites that have an endless supply of sellers to promote are ClickBank, Commission Junky, Associate Programs, and Lifetime Commissions and so on. You can also become an associate for Amazon and you can create an online store with them for free. All the sites listed above are free to join; all you have to do is start promoting.
Write and sell articles - this method is worth your time and effort, because through your articles you are creating your credibility and generate traffic for your business. Some write articles solely to generate traffic for their sites and some write articles solely to sell products or sell the articles them self.
Email marketing - this is an untapped source of free generated traffic. There are providers that you can join for free like Tiny Letter and Mail Chimp. When you have approximately 30 or 40 subscribers than you start sending newsletters and emails with links to them, but don't crowd them with the links, sometimes it is best to write some tips or news on your topic. With Mail Chimp you can set an auto responder for your mails but I suggest that you use Tiny Letter because this way you create a relationship with your subscribers.
Facebook - to this day Facebook has over 800 million active users. This is an absolute free traffic goldmine for you. Through fan pages and Facebook apps you can generate traffic for your website or just doing reviews on products that you promote. You can create a separate FB account just for your niche and search for people that are in that niche, their fans and friends can also become yours.
Sites like Freelancer or oDesk - when you join sites like this you need to keep in mind that work will come just not right away. There are tons of jobs available for you, all you need to do is join in, finish your profile and take some tests to show off, and then you look for jobs and bid on them. I do recommend that you look at oDesk because it has free tests that you can take and they have a desktop user panel that records the work you do.
Paid Surveys - when doing paid surveys all you need to do is join as much panels as you can and they are all free, set up your profiles and wait till the surveys come pouring into your email account. To start it is best to join a company that provides a list of companies you can join. Now that might not be free, there is a member's fee, but it's worth it.
Ad sense - Google's Ad sense it a CPC (cost per click) network and they have the highest rates. All you have to do is join for free and create add units or campaigns, then get the HTML code and paste it to your website or blog. When somebody clicks on that add you get paid commissions. But before you join read the terms of use first. Other CPC networks are also AdBrite, Chitika, Clicksor, Bidvertiser and Kontera.
Fiverr - This site is all about selling and buying almost anything for 5 bucks. You can sell your services, articles, page views and so on and so forward. If you have your own website and you don't want to write an article you can find someone who will write them for you. It is free to join. Just visit the site and you be the judge.
YouTube - it is really hard to be an affiliate for YouTube but you can do other stuff. If you are good with a camera and you like to perform you can do reviews on your affiliate products and then post links beneath the videos. You can also create a video tutorial for your website. As you already know it is free to join, so there are zero costs.
Online stores like Zazzle or Caffeshop - if you have a sellers touch, you can create an online store for free with Zazzle or Caffeshop or even Amazon. You can create your designs and sell them, then all you need to do is drive traffic to your store.
Well this is it for now. These are just the basic information about each way of making money online. There are sites that provide more detailed information on each and every one of them or you can visit them separately and decide for yourself if this is the way you want to earn some extra cash and eventually earn a full-time income online.

If you are interested in generating money from your websites/blogs by running popup ads, you should embed one of the most established networks: EroAdvertising.
