If you are like me, then you like money. I guess everyone does to an extent, but what if I told you it was easy to earn money? And I'm not talking about small amounts, but rather a good deal of extra cash. If you're reading this, then you have about half of what you already need to accomplish getting easy money; a computer and internet connection. Now of course you have to do something, but these things are really easy.

So far I've made a little over $330 online. Sure you can't live off of it, but some extra cash is always nice. One of the best sites out there is ExpoTV. If you have a camera that captures video, a computer and internet connection, you're set! ExpoTV offers money for "video reviews." You simply videotape yourself reviewing any product, and they'll give you $5 for each video. The cool part is you can do up to 50 videos per month! Sometimes they change the promotion, but this is what it's been for a few months now. I've done 31 videos for them so far and they really do pay. I've reviewed video games, computer speakers, food, clothing and they have all been accepted. The videos themselves only have to be a minute long, and sometimes I will find myself going well over that minute.

Another site is the one you are reading this article on, Associated Content. AC offers money for articles written by you, and the offers range from $3 to about $20. You do not have to be a great writer either, and even if you only submit a few articles every now and then, the money still is not bad. So far from 5 articles of mine being approved for payment, I've made $23. I really am no writer, but it's nice to be able to write about something and have the motivation of getting paid for it. So far, ExpoTV and Associated Content are my two favorite money-making websites out there.

One other program that is definitely worth noting is Google Adsense. This isn't as easy as the other two. You first need a website or a blog, and it has to attract a lot of traffic (or the amount of people visiting the website). This can require a lot of work, especially if you decide to make your own website from scratch. After you have it up and running, you can put the Google Ads on it. How it works is for each time someone clicks one of your advertisements, you get money for it. Now, it is not a lot for each click, but if you have heavy traffic on your website, you can make a lot of money. Last summer I made a website with Freewebs, and decided to give Adsense a try. I only made a few dollars after putting the website together and spending a good deal of time on it. That should not discourage others from trying it, especially if you have a great website or blog.

There are also forums out there that have a "pay-per-post" rule. Each time you make a post, you get a few cents. It might not seem like a lot, but if you like message boards and are one of those people who could post dozens of replies a day, it is definitely worth it. Being a member on several of these forums can't hurt, and will help increase revenue. One example, and it's probably the most popular, is myLot. Also, if you search online for "get paid to post," or something similar, you will find a countless number of similar forums!

In Conclusion, making money online is easier than most people think. Whether it's writing articles, making video reviews, or simply posting on a message board, there is a countless number of ways to do it. So after you finish reading this sentence, give some of these a try, you won't be disappointed.
