WHAT IS PAYPAL?
The first thing you need to make money online is a way to receive the money you’ll be making. That’s where Paypal steps in - it’s a free payment processing service from the people that own E-Bay. With it, you can receive and send money.

WHY JOIN TRIOND AND ASSOCIATED CONTENT?
After joining Paypal, you need an initial way to make some cash. I’ve had the most success with two programs - Triond and Associated Content. These websites pay you to write articles about anything you want. Associated Content pays an initial flat rate of anywhere between $3-20 as well as payment every time someone reads your article. Triond only pays when someone views your article, but they have decent rates of an estimated $2-$10/1000 viewers. I have had the best experience with Triond, but you should try out both of the programs and see what works for you. If you need more information, please check out my page on paid writing.

STUMBLEUPON
To attract visitors to your articles, use StumbleUpon - a social networking service that operates like this:

1. Someone visits a site and clicks the thumbs up button on the StumbleUpon toolbar.
2. Visitors using StumbleUpon visit your site. They can click the thumbs up button as well which, in turn, sends more people to the site.

StumbleUpon is a very effective way of sending traffic to a site.

FINDING A NICHE
Although money can be made from writing for Triond and Associated Content, your best income opportunity is creating your own website or blog. Money can be made on websites through selling advertisements. To create an effective money-making website, you need to pick a niche for it - determine what it will be about. Here are some tips:

• If you are passionate about something and want to frequently write about it, create a blog. Blogs are actively updated.
• If you want to make a static low-maintenance page with only a few articles on it, create a website.
• To help determine a niche, use SEOBook’s keyword suggestion tool. An effective niche needs to have people searching for it on search engines. Type in a few keywords on what you want to create a site about and find one that has people searching for it.

DIGG AND OTHER SOCIAL BOOKMARKING SITES
Digg and Reddit are similar to StumbleUpon in that they send visitors to a page. They are less effective, though. The only reasonable success I have had with them is when one of my articles reached the front page of Reddit. I received about 20,000 visitors from it.
