34. KarmaOne - They are basically a recruiting website. If you fill one of their jobs by finding a good candidate, you'll get paid anywhere from $50-$12,000. It all depends on how desperate the hiring company is.
35. LinkShare.com
- If you have a site, you can join Linkshare. Once enrolled for free, you can choose companies whose ads are pertinent to your site. Companies have the ultimate say on working with you. Like Commission Junction, there are a ton of companies waiting to evaluate your site.
36. Microsoft Adcenter - Bid on keywords and Microsoft places your created ads then they are searched for. This is similar to Google Adwords. You do not need a site for this.
37. Overstock.com - Sell your stuff on Overstock.com
38. Pageflakes - This is a company that developed a user-defined Ajax homepage to show feeds, flickr photos, and a ton of other things. Think of it as a replacement for your Google Homepage. Anyway - they'll pay you $1 per referral that you send over. They are not part of a wider affiliate program so you do it direct. This one is pretty simple.
39. Pay Per Post - I don't agree with this model entirely but they have advertisers that will pay you to write about their products on your blog.
40. Pheedo - If you have an RSS feed, run it through Pheedo. Like Feedburner, they can include ads into your feed and if you really become large, advertisers will pay a premium for you to show their ads.
41. Shareasale.com - I've never really worked with them but I do have an account. They are similar to Commission Junction and Linkshare however they seem to have lower tiered companies with advertising offers.
42. Shoemoney - This is a blog that can teach you a ton on making money online. I've spent hours reading his old stuff.
43. Software Judge - They will pay you up to $50 to review software.
44. Text Link Ads - I have never made a dime here but I know people that have. You can earn by sending advertisers to them or by selling spots on your site. You must have a real site or blog to do this - nothing on a shared domain (i.e. /blogspot).
45. Vibrant Media - Don't bother unless your site has 500,000 page views of text based content a month. If you have that readership, these are the guys that display bubble box ads to underlined words on your site.
46. West Work At Home Agent - Not entirely online but this is worth a mention because it's won awards and is very legitimate. If you are an at-home Mom or free-lancer without work, you should check this out.
47. Yahoo! Merchant Solutions
- This is a pretty simple and cheap way to create an online store.
48. Direct Banner Advertising
Selling your own advertising space is one of the most lucrative monetization methods. First and foremost because it enables you to cut out the middleman commissions and to determine your own rates. The most popular banner formats on the web are the 728×90 leaderboard, the 120×600 skyscraper, the 300×250 rectangle and the 125×125 button.
The downside of direct banner advertising is that you need to have a big audience to get qualified advertisers, and you will need to spend time managing the sales process, the banners and the payments.

49. Out-of-favor blue chips. Even the world's greatest companies encounter problems or otherwise fall out of favor. Correctly differentiating between those suffering temporary rather than permanent issues is the key to success here.
McDonald's was a classic out-of-favor blue chip when it fell below $13 in early 2003 (thanks mainly to homegrown missteps). When new management aggressively tackled menu and franchise-relations problems, the company's fortunes turned dramatically and the shares now trade above $65.
An example today is mass retailer Target(symbol TGT), whose shares have fallen from nearly $70 to below $50 over the past year as the U.S. economy and consumer spending have slowed. But the positive fundamentals of the company's business remain intact, and we believe the stock is a good bet to double over the next few years as the economic environment improves.
50. Let someone else do the investing. It can pay to let others do the investing for you -- if you can invest with them at a reasonable price. One of the ways has been to buy Berkshire Hathaway (BRK-B) and let Warren Buffett work his investing magic on your behalf. Less-well-known vehicles include Leucadia National (LUK) and Alleghany Corp. (Y). Such companies go on sale from time to time, which we think is the case today with Berkshire, whose shares are down more than 20% from their high last December.
51. Event stewarding
Concerts and sports fixtures employ a small army to help with organisation. The necessary training will be provided on the day but don't view the job as a free ticket. Stewards at football matches, for example, are expected to face the crowd, not watch the game. Average pay: rates start at £5 an hour; with training you can earn up to £15 an hour.

52. eBay arbitrage. A lot of people like buying stuff on eBay, because it’s cheap. And some people never buy on eBay, because they are afraid of being ripped off. Here is your solution to making easy money on eBay. Go to Craigslist.Com and see what items people buy and sell most often. Look at prices. Then go to eBay and see, if you can get it cheaper. Once you find your niche, you can buy things on eBay (or better yet, act as a representative for an eBay powerseller) and sell them for a profit using local classifieds and Craigslist. You can do this online as well. Set up a proxy store, and when you get an order, simply buy the same item on eBay for less, substituting shipping address from your own to that of your buyer.
