I recently have an interest in earning online. Because of this, I spent all my time and efforts researching and reading about various online earning ways. I came up with several ways which I would like to share with you.
1. GPT Websites
I noticed the popularity of GPT sites in this forum. But according to my study, this is the lowest and slowest way to earn good income online. The scam rates are also pretty high. And it eats most of your time and effort. I would not really recommend any GPT site except Mylot.
2. Freelancing
Freelancing can give a sturdy source of income. However, it requires a skill (writing, programming, graphic designing, etc.). A lot of stay-at-home moms have resorted to freelancing in hope to earn extra money for their family. For me, freelancing can provide a steady source of income with high flexibility when it comes to accepting projects. However, earnings from this is not enough to replace your job.
3. Google Adsense Advertising
Google Adsense advertising is very popular to web developers. All you need to do is set up a website, put up content and voila! you can sign up to adsense and begin earning money. The good thing with adsense is its easy installation and secure payment system. You can be sure you will receive money. The downside is that, unless your website has thousands of visitors, you can only expect to earn a few cents per day. On the positive side, in contrast to GPTs, once you get your site installed, your earnings will keep on coming without you lifting a finger.
4. Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing is the new generation of online selling. Affiliate marketing works this way. For example, you have a product, you then want to sell this online. You then ask people to be your affiliates and they will sell your product for you. With each sell they made, they will earn a percentage of the payment. This will increase your sales as well as help them earn. This is a nice network strategy on the internet.
The good thing with affiliate marketing is that it has the highest earning potential among the four. You can earn as much as $20 each sale. You can earn as the main seller or an affiliate.
So these are what I have researched. Can you suggest more ways to earn online? If you have done any of these ways, share your experiences.

You mention freelancing, so I'm assuming that you write. If I'm incorrect,I apologize.
If you do write, have you tried Associated Content? Some people do quite well there. I've got several articles published (even two about myLot!) and have been paid for some of them, and others that were more op/ed I submitted for page views only, as it all adds up.
I don't get anything for referrals, but if you'd like to know more about it, go look at my profile to see some of what I've written, and it'll take you to the site.

Yes I do. But I would like to say I am trying. I do not really think of myself as a good writer. i need more practice.
Associated Content? Do they pay you to have articles there? I just saw it in your profile. Is it on a per article basis or it depends on what they deem as "useful"

They don't pay for every article, but even if they don't accept each one for upfront payment, you can still publish for page views only. You get paid $1.50 for each 1000 views each month, and that is a total for all of your articles together.
I just realized that you are in the Philippines and they don't offer upfront payments for anyone outside of the U.S. (tax issues or somesuch), but some people still do quite well on page views alone. There are quite a few of us here on myLot that write there as well, and we all support each other.
Give it a shot - you've got nothing to lose!

I think you forgot to mention one more way to make money...
Earn money for being online....
One the best programs... in this field is:-
GomezPeer -Its a program... where you earn for being online... They give a program called PEER which has to be installed in your PC... Thats it... What gomezpeer does is it uses your internet connection to check some websites of their clients.. Actually processing is not done the whole day.....
And you get paid:-
$0.0005 per minute of processing time
$0.04 for each 20 hours of online time in a day...
$1 for each active referral....
And the minimum payout is $5 through Paypal....
The thing is.. Just install and forget about it... You can make $5 per month... But if you have more computers... you can use the same username on differnt systems.. and it will all add-up...and its legal to use in multiple computers...
I installed it in 5 computers.. and I make~$0.50 dollars per day... Thats around $15 a month...
So if you wanna join or know more about this...let me know.. Please join under me if you are interested... you can get the referral link on my blog mentioned on my profile..^_^

Getafreelancer.com works good for me. However, the hard part is always on starting out, without the testimonials and records. You can start by offering your services for free first but be sure to provide quality samples. Having a blog or site to showcase your work always helps.

Regarding 2) I have to disagree with you.
It is possible to earn enough to replace your job, the problem is knowing where to look. When I started out, I had only heard of Triond, Helium, Associated Content and Constant Content. Just these 4 certainly wouldn't have allowed me to "earn enough to replace my job". But I have been finding new freelance writing sites and adding them to my list. If you are interested, you can view the list at

Those are certainly excellent ways to make money online. Here is another way I am earning some money, that is writing reviews for "Review Stream". They pay well. If you are interested in writing reviews , take a look at that. You can write brief reviews on a variety of topics, things that you come across in your day-to-day activities.
