1. Make money online as an affiliate selling other peoples stuff. You can find loads of business that will accept you as an affiliate at either Clickbank or Commission Junction. Being an affiliate is a great way to make money without having to worry about invoicing or payments since the payments are taken care of by the company you're selling for. All you have to do is promote the products and the merchant takes care of selling and billing. Depending on the product you can make up to 75% of the sales price.

2. Try selling stuff on eBay. Auctions can be a really easy way to make money online and eBay is the king of online auctions. Unfortunately they don't allow the sale of digital products anymore, but you can often find really cheap products to sell from dropship companies. Or search for the Build a Niche Store (BANS) software and create your own little niche eBay store.

3. Take paid online surveys. These survey sites have been around forever on the internet and for a very good reason. It's because they are a fast, safe and easy way for people to make money online. If you have a computer with an internet connection and an opinion you can make money filling out surveys online.

4. Sell your own services to people online. There are lots of services that people require and you can make money by providing them. Some that come quickly to mind are transcription, article writing, web design, research, data entry, translation, and virtual assistants. Some require specific skills, but some can be done by anyone. If you've got a talent for writing or languages or design you can easily make some extra cash from sites like Guru.com and eLance. Go ahead and give it a try.

5. Try blogging to make money online. There are lots of people doing it and setting up your own blog is easy these days with Blogger or Wordpress. These blogs can then make you money from Adsense, affiliate programs, direct advertising, sponsored reviews and posts and many other ways. Use you imagination. Make the blog about something you love or something you're already and expert on and once you start to get some visitors you'll start to see the money as well. The most important thing in blogging is to give your visitors useful information and to keep posting regularly.
