The entrepreneurs at Arabian Monkey have sifted through all of the internet's bullshit scams to bring you the best ways to make money on the web.
If you like to write and promote your work, then this is the best place to make money online. The Gerk and The Douginator perfected their writing chops on this website. They then used profits from Associated Content to start this website. AC is a pay for content website where you are a writer in a big community. Each article you write needs to be around 400 words and use proper grammar and spelling. You will get paid an initial offer if your content is quality work, and you will get paid for every thousand page views your content receives. With a little promotion and a good collection of articles, you can have a steady stream of cash coming in.
More Ways to Make Money Online
This site pays users to blog about specific items, products, or services. Your feedback and product reviews supposedly help out the companies, who in turn credit your Paypal account. Payperpost operates through what they call "word of mouth advertising," and they value your input. No one from Arabian Monkey has tried Payperpost, but from reading user reviews across the internet, it appears that this site is legit.
For those of you out there with your own website, this site appears to be one of the best places to go for pay-per-click revenue. The sign-up and registration is simple and easy, and Hitfarm will "park" your website for you and generate traffic to you through advertisements. Their service is (somehow) free, or so says their FAQ, but we here at Arabian Monkey have not used Hitfarm yet, so we don't know for sure. According to their site, they will pay you for clicks on your page, with most users making $500 a month using this site. The catch: your domain must already generate at least 5000 unique hits per day in order to qualify. The other catch: this service doesn't do much for you unless the primary purpose of your website is selling products or services.
For this one, it's a good idea to set up a new e-mail account and sign up for a new phone number at privatephone.com. A lot of people swear by this service. Cashcrate.com makes you fill out surveys and offers in order to get money. Legit information needs to be put in the offers so it is a good idea to get an alternative email so your regular box doesn't get spammed. I've talked to people who have made hundreds with this site so it can work. I only do the free offers and there are plenty of those to go around. They work well if you aren't into giving away credit card numbers and signing up for a bunch of trial offers.
This is another pay for content website. The way you write on this site is a lot less journalistic than Associated Content. A lot of the time a simple paragraph is enough. Basically, you just write your opinion on a given topic. To make money on this site you really have to write a lot of pieces. People that tend to make some cash on this site write for a long time and make money off of their past collection of writing. This is a good compliment to Associated Content but it would be tough to just make money on this one. If you need any invites e-mail thedouginator@arabianmonkey.com and he can get you one.
Moola gives you money for playing games online. How cool is that? The site is invite only but we have a few invitations lying around so you are in luck. If you would like to join, just send us an e-mail over at thedouginator@arabianmonkey.com or thegerk@arabianmonkey.com and we can hook you up. Basically you start off with a penny and you try to double that penny until you have a few million. Impossible? No. Incredibly unlikely? Yes. The best way to make money here is referring other people and by searching through their search engine to earn boosters.
