66. They haven violated your rights? Sue them anyway. Why do you think so many people sue Google on the most unlikely pretexts: giving them incorrect results, showing anti-Christian sites in the results, having advertising, being racist, not being racist? Find something unusual enough to sue them about and some dumb tabloid editor somewhere will pay you for an interview. Even if they don you l generate publicity, get column inches, get people to your site … Ka-Ching.
67. Sell photographs: Live in a big city? Hang around at celebrity watering holes, click some photos. There always someone online willing to pay for interesting ones – there are sites specifically for the buying / selling of photos like these. Get “lucky” and click the UN Secretary General picking up a hooker and you can buy that dream home in the Bahamas quicker than he can say United Nations Secretary General . Find Paris Hilton in another compromising video and …. you can buy Bill Gates. More mundane photos will get you money in places like these: 1, 2, 3.
Work, but not as you know it 52 . Affiliate programs can be great fun and very lucrative. The trick is learning to generate traffic, funnelling it to your merchant and hiring expensive accountants to handle your massive tax returns. It has made more millionaires than you believe and I e personally met many of them. I hope to write a lot more about making money from affiliate programs in the months to come. 53. But if fine-tuning ad CTRs and monitoring ROI is too much like hard work. .. be your own affiliate customer. Credit card companies, mortgage companies etc., pay anywhere upto $ 100 per form filled on their site (per valid lead). Go apply for some credit cards and mortgages BUT do them through your own affiliate links and make a few hundred dollars per day. Sign up in as an affiliate in your wife / husband / dad name to get around the occasional restriction that applications in the affiliate own name don generate the commission. Pure fun 54. Like playing computer games? There money in gaming. Top players get paid handsomely for participating in tournaments, attending gaming fests and endorsing products. OK, Tiger Woods does make more but does he have as much fun? I mean, have you ever seen him happy? Like deliriously happy … and shouting for joy? No. Because his club don have no buttons. 55. MMORPG, or multimedia online role playing games are virtual worlds where otherwise sane humans lose all perspective and all sense of reality. Or they pretend they do. They spend money on invisibility cloaks, virtual machine guns, characters and even virtual money! It hard to explain how it works but Be The Seller, there a thriving economy there worth millions of dollars every year. Whether it WoW or SecondLife. 56. Adult entertainment: Like dressing up kinky? Do it front of a webcam and adult webcam sites will pay you. (John Prescott need not apply.) Like chatting dirty? Are you a balding man who likes pretending to be an 18 year old blond, female model? The online equivalent of the premium rate phone lines is where you can earn money all day just having fun. I won provide links – use a search engine and find them yourself. 57. Or get paid for promoting other adult sites. This is like other affiliate programs except that you get to give away stuff on your site (usually cut-down/lower quality versions of videos and pics) for free. These entice visitors to click through for the larger resolution version which requires a small subscription. So, free content for you and – if you can get enough visitors to click through and subscribe – a healthy commission cheque at the end of the month. 58. Mystery shopping: Shopping on behalf of firms to see how staff on the floor are treating customers. Buy products , have holidays, eat at restaurants and have the tabs all picked up by your employers … as long as you provide them some feedback on what the service is like in-store. There are worse ways to earn a living. Some sceptics say they have fun but don earn a great deal. Others disagree. 59. Spend your time entering competitions. Despite the name “competitions” rarely require skill, they are nothing but glorified lotteries / sweepstakes. The most challenging question they are likely to ask you is, “What 1 1?” Try searches like “competition entry” and “win a prize”. 60. Or enter contests of skill. Good at SEO ? There seem to be a lot of SEO competitions around. Good for nothing? I tried Google on a search for Good for nothing competitions and I get a lot of results. :-) Weed out 99% as junk, and you should still have some good ns there. 61 . Good at poker? You can make a living from playing it all day long (or go broke). Like surfing? 62 . Become an estate agent. Not a real one; in places like the US that too much effort. No, you can act for buyers without all that formality by being a buying agent. Clients have a clear idea of ??what they want but you have the time to keep hitting rightmove-or wherever your local listings are – to find them that special property. In the UK “buying agents” charge 1-3% of the property value. 63. Concierge services: If you know the exact type of bra you want but can find it would you pay someone a few dollars to find it for you? You be surprised how many busy people would. Whether it a list for the supermarket delivery or a bathroom tap unavailable locally – for some people the hour or two hunting is not worth the $ 10 you charge. Maintain preferences for your signed up customers – so they can tell you to order “milk” without having to specify semi -skimmed, 2 litre, cardboard packing etc. – and close relationships with local businesses and even I sign up. 64. Be a researcher. At places like answers.com people pay for you to go research an answer to questions they don have time to answer themselves. Like, “How do I choose an SLR camera?” and “What the name of the theme song to the TV program A Bit of Fry and Laurie?” Note: Google has now closed the answers.google.com service but if you e that good at hunting things out you l find that there are other places where people pay for answers. And, I not just talking paid homework help. < br /> Or be the scum that sue companies for small amounts just because it be cheaper for them to settle than defend. Even if the grounds for the case are petty and silly.
69. Exploit people soppiness. Once upon a time there was a site with lots of lovely pictures of a beautiful little bunny who was very, very happy. And his owner loved him very much. But he needed money so he asked for money on the site and promised that if he did not reach his target he eat the bunny. He provided graphic recipes with bunny dish mock-up pictures. Donations followed, fast and swift.
It smells No, I not endorsing any of the plans in this section but this article wouldn be complete without mentioning these unmentionables. 65. Has someone has violated your online rights? Perhaps they don have a privacy page on their site as required by law. Or haven made their site disabled friendly (illegal in some parts of the world). Sue them. Particularly if you can get one of those no win-no fee vultures to act for you. A guy called André-Tascha Lammé kept getting calls from salesmen selling him stuff. He sued them in the Sacramento, CA, small claims court (easy to do). Guess what? Apparently the law in the US awards you $ 500 each time a telesales person makes an unwanted call to you . Lammé walked away with $ 6,000. What the law where you are?

Big bucks 76. While most webmasters use PPC to refer to Pay Per Click old timers use it jokingly to refer to P * rn (where *= o), Pills and Casinos. Those are probably the three biggest money areas on the net and have probably made more millionaires than any others. But they are very competitive and are difficult markets to er, penetrate. However, there are lots of legal, legitimate opportunities here some of which I l expand on in due course. Arbitrage / brokerage 77. Example of a pure arbitrage opportunity: For a while buying traffic via Google Adwords and sending that traffic to pages of little content and Google Adsense ads generated reasonable profits when done astutely. Sure, Adwords and Adsense are two sites of the same coin. But I did say you needed to be astute to recognise where the opportunities were and you need to test, test, test. There are still lots of contextual arbitrage opportunities about. Especially when you work across programs (eg, buy traffic from MSN, sell to Yahoo). 78. < / strong> There are a lot of arbitrage opportunities in the finance world as discussed below but if economics and finance talk bores you to death, there sports arbitrage. Different online bookmakers may offer different odds on a sporting event. By taking the better odds at each bookie you could come out ahead irrespective of the actual outcome of the event. If you e really clever you could make a program to do this for you. Why don the bookies adjust their odds based on what their competitors are offering? Because they have to balance their own books. Their prices are decided based on how their own punters are betting. 79. Hosting: You don need to buy a lot of server hardware to provide a web hosting service. Many big hosting companies allow “reseller” accounts where you sell hosting plans to customers and the hosting company will host them all for you under your Reseller account umbrella. You get to charge customers as much as you want. Some Resellers provide value added services and charge more for these. At places like WHT you l find that resellers sometimes sell their customers as a “bundle” ie, you can pay some money to buy a reseller “business”. 80. Related to the above is free hosting where you provide small website owners free hosting and in exchange you serve ads to all their pages to make the revenue to pay the hosting company and yourself. Early pioneers of this model are well known names like Geocities and Angelfire . 81. Being a broker can be done in a thousand different ways. There are some entrepreneurs making healthy profits just by bidding for projects on places like elance and guru (and others) and farming them out to a bank of writers / programmers they use on a regular basis. Finance 82. Trading from home is really catching on in many parts of the world. You don need to be an expert on stocks
