"Legitimate Ways To Make Extra Money"-It's All About Using Your Time Well

There is a near limitless number of ways for you to make some extra money to help your main income, the biggest problem is, while alot of people know about them, half the time they can’t be bothered to actually get down and do them.

What I’m going to do here is outline very briefly some of the best ways to make an extra few bucks online using free methods so the only thing you’ll have to invest is your time and commitment to the tasks.

I say the previous sentence really strongly because alot of people may know what to do but can never be bothered to actually do anything about it, then still wonder why they aren’t making any extra income.

So before you read any further promise me your going to take action on what I’m about to show you.

Were going to be using products here which belong to other people and promoting them to make our extra money. This is called affiliate marketing. The best part is you don’t have to deal with customers or any of that. All you have to do is send people through your unique link to the product owners website, and if a sale is made by an individual going through your special link, you get a commission. The best place to find these products is a website called clickbank. They have tens of thousands of products on there, all paying a pretty good commission.

Article writing- I have found this to be the most effective way to produce an extra income, sometimes within a matter of weeks. It does take alot of your time up though, and you have to be good at coming up with fresh new original content all the time. Articles exist so that website and business owners have a never-ending supply of information they can republish and promote on their websites and to their lists.

This is great because it means the very nature of articles is for them to go viral, and be republished many times all around the web. The terms of using these require that the publisher keeps your resource box or author bio. So if you have a link in there leading to a product your promoting this could potentially lead to alot of sales.

Youtube marketing- Again this is a very similar concept to article marketing. To really succeed at this though you have to be pretty good with a camera and comfortable and confident in filming yourself.

Youtube is so good because of the large amount of traffic on it, and due to the general infrastructure of the website, your videos are always guaranteed a good flow of traffic. People like to deal with people, real people they can see and converse with. So naturally your going to get more clickthroughs and hopefully more sales.

Another thing with regards to youtube that I haven’t fully explored yet is I believe they have something very similar to adsense now that you can put on your videos. This means that those ads you see at the bottom of the videos, if you click them the owner of the video gets paid a few cents or dollars.

The third and final legitimate way to make extra money would be using twitter. This is probably the funnest one of the bunch, but possibly the slowest too. What we’ll do with this is find a good product on clickbank, then find people interested in the topic and product on twitter and follow them.

While it’s a slower method, you could potentially make some good friends along the way because your going to befriend these people and talk about their interests with them, so they get to know you and your interest in the subject. Then after you’ve built up a decent number of followers all sharing the same interest based around this product you want to promote, and gotten to know them pretty well, you’ll offer them the product quite casually, maybe say something like “hey My friend has been using this and he recommend it to me, its really good i though you guys might be interested..”

DO NOT SPAM PEOPLE, thats no what this is about and ultimately people will loose interest in what your tweeting about until they ignore you all together. You don’t need 1000 followers to make any significant sums of money in this, you just need a few and you need to be friends with them, build a relationship.
