Here are 5 easy ways to make money online. All of the opportunities presented can be scaled to provide 6 figure incomes. Your time and commitment will determine your level of success. The following list is full of proven methods and these are not get rich quick schemes. To succeed you will need to plan, research, and execute. Nothing will ever happen if you fail to take action.
Adsense – Google Adsense remains the easiest and fastest way to make money online. The best part is, that you do not need a website to start making money.

Getting Paid To Write – There are many legitimate sites that will pay a percentage of Ad revenue generated to their writers. Make sure you sign up with reliable authority sites. Recommended sites include: Squidoo, E-how, Hubpages, and Associated Content. You will want to look over the guidelines to see how each sites payment plans work.

Traditional Affiliate Marketing – Many have made a living through Affiliate Marketing. The best thing about it, is that you don’t have to create a website or have a product to sell. As an Affiliate Marketer, your tasks are to drive traffic to your affiliate products to generate a sale. Most merchants pay out up 75% commission per sale generated. Many companies have Affiliates promoting their products. This is done so either through Clickbank (e-books and digital goods) or Commission Junction. If you are interested in promoting a service be sure to do a Google search with the word affiliate after the product name.

Cost Per Action – Similar to traditional Affiliate Marketing, in that you do not need a website or product to generate commissions. The twist however, is that with Cost Per Action you do not need to make sales to get paid. With CPA, your main objective is to provide companies with new leads. This can be as simple as getting a visitor to input their zip code or e-mail address. It can be as complex as getting a visitor to input multiple personal information in exchange for a free trial or service. The commissions generated with CPA vary depending on the complexity of the action required by the user.

E-commerce – Creating your own e-commerce site can also prove to be a valuable venture. You will want to get into a dropshipping service to simplify the shipping process. Once dropshipping is in place, your main concern will be driving traffic to your e-commerce site. The dropshipper will handle shipping and returns.

Discovering easy ways to make money online. With so many get rich quick programs out there, it can be tough distinguishing the real from the fake. Scams and false promises run amuck. Below are some tips on how to seperate scam from real opportunities.

Authority sites – A simple way to avoid falling for scams is to sign up with reputable services and programs. Places like squidoo and hubpages are well known and respected services.
Who are the authors – Many times a simple google search of the product creators will yield you your desired results. If you are interested in buying a product, find out who the creators are. You can do this by doing a google search or asking in IM forums. Places like the ripoffreport provide avenues for angry customers to tell their story. When doing a search on whether a product is a scam or not, be careful to not fall for the “review” sites. It has become a common practice amongst some Affiliate Marketers to claim to review products when in reality increasing their bottom line is their only intent. Avoid sites that overly hype a product, and continue your search elsewhere.

Avoid Too Good To Be True – As a common rule of ground, avoid all products that sound to hyped up. Many IM launches have some of the best copywriters in the business. What this means is that the sales page is designed to target your weak points (your wants, needs and desires). While there is nothing wrong with this approach, the majority of the products will end up being pure crap. Don’t rely solely on the sales copy to make your purchase. Try to stick with one or two marketers that you know sell quality products and avoid products that claim x amount of income in x amount of days. They are mostly false promises.

Avoid survey sites – The most common scam sites are paid to take survey sites. Stay away from these programs all together. The reason being, there are more scams than legitimate opportunities out there. You will also want to stay away from matrix or pyramid programs.These programs have no solid foundation and are designed to fail. Focus your time and money on tried and tested methods. To avoid falling for scams, be sure to have a clear mindset of what your goals are. Many products have superb sales pages. These pages are designed to do one thing, to get you to spend. Always play on the cautious side, unless you are purchasing from a well known marketer from which you have purchased before.
