10 Funnest Ways to Make Money Online

1. Blogging












Blogging is one of the best ways to make money online because you are part of a community. If you're good at what you do you can gain credibility and be recognized for your blogging across the internet. For instance, you probably recognize the picture above and the blog associated with it.

Along with gaining credibility there is also the potential to make a lot of money. Peter Cashmore, founder of Mashable, is reported to make $166,000 a month, all from the one blog.

2. Create Your own Second Life Store













I'll admit it, I'm a recovering Second Life addict. Second Life can be a lot of fun, it will make you want to spend hours there. If you haven't heard of Second Life, its a virtual game where people can do pretty much everything they do in real life, including shop, which there is a lot of.

According to the SL website, there has been $1,265,653 USD spent on Second Life in the past 24 hours. This money is spent on virtual clothes, cars, even guns, which individual shop owners make and sell. There's less risk here then owning your own real-life business, but it can be just as fruitful and a lot of fun. [Read More]


3. Share Your Videos















There are sites that will pay you a share of their profits to share your videos on their website. A good video has the potential to earn you thousands of dollars - just think about how much Chris Crocker would have made if his videos were on a profit-sharing website. The videos don't have to be professionally done, just look at most of the videos on Youtube. People actually prefer amateur videos. If you like being in the spotlight this can be one of the funnest ways to make money online.


4. Share Your Pictures

Sharing pictures online is something people do every day - why not get paid for it? There are dozens of sites that are offering a revenue share for the page views that your pictures get. If you spend time on Flickr you should consider opening an account on a profit-sharing photo site. You can still have your pictures on both sites while making money on one.

A great thing about making money on these sites is that it can be a passive income. You can put your pictures up on a site, and as long as they get page views you will make money, even if you don't return for months. Some of the picture-sharing sites are pretty fun and will have you wanting to return, though.


5. Try Your Luck on Moola





Moola is an internet game site like no other. They give you a penny when you sign up that you can double by playing a game against another player. You keep doubling your money every time you win a game. You can cash out after you win $10, or you can play for the grand prize of $1,000,000. Its free to try and its super addicting.


6. Network With Friends

Since revenue-sharing sites have blown up this year, there are now a handful of sites that will pay you to do the same thing you do on Myspace. The most popular one is Dada - which pays you to chat, upload your pictures, and refer your friends.

If Dada's not for you, you should check out Mylot, Gather, and Squidoo. With so many options there's bound to be one that you will enjoy.


7. Play Guitar












You can earn extra cash by uploading your videos on Guitarvids.net. You can put up videos of you and your band, or make guitar instruction videos. Whatever you do this is probably one of the easiest and funnest ways to make money online if you're a guitar player. [Read More]


8. Design T-Shirts

Getting paid for your original designs is probably one of the most rewarding ways to make a living. There are three major websites that you can sell your t-shirt designs through for free. You can also sell your designs on aprons, calenders, and bumper stickers. If you love to design clothes and merchandise but hate sales, consider entering a t-shirt design contest instead.


9. Post on Forums

Posting on forums is one of the fastest and easiest ways to make money online. Granted, the pay isn't that great, but it may pay your water bill, and you'll have fun while doing it.

10. Give Advice

If you are knowledgeable in any area there are places online where you can give advice to people who need it. There are few things that are funner than giving your opinions on topics you care about - and you don't need an advanced degree to do it. You can give dating advice, tips on gardening, even gift-giving suggestions. You can get paid an hourly rate, anywhere from $6-$20 to give advice over the phone, through e-mail, or through web chat.
