Hobbies

Whatever you like to do, you can get paid for it on the internet. Below are just a few examples.

Writing

Helium

Offers you the chance to make money by writing on anything you wish. Simply choose a category, write, submit and start making money. The great thing about this is, if you stay active, you will continue earning for as long as people want to read whatever you wrote. Another aspect is that you still own the copyright to what you wrote, and so can republish it anywhere you want again, potentially earning even more from it. A site called Associated Content offers something similar. but places greater restrictions on what you can write.

Ciao

If you have heard of Ciao, you might know that its also a survey site and has pretensions to being a community (a lot of these sites do overlap between categories, we know). But, for us, the main feature is the consumer review part as surveys can be limited in places and often rare. The reviews are great because, once again you still own the review and can publish it again on DooYoo and ePinions, and basically get paid three times for doing the same job. Once you join you'll realise that everything you eat, every website you access could make you money, so your creative juices will be flowing constantly.

Blogging

A few different ways to earn from this. Either you can write and recommend products, or you can write and wait for advertisers to flock to you. If you're a talented writer but little else, go for option one. If you have an interesting or useful subject in mind, then write about that-but you have to keep in mind what advertisers would like to sponser.

The good thing about payperpost is that you can determine how much you write, and so, how much you earn, but unless you write a huge amount, or write so good that you get a lot of readers, you probably won't make that much. If you're just in it for the money and not the creative expression, try these agencies:

Photography

Make money taking pictures and uploading them.

Some Photography Tips:

Shareapic

Allows you to upload your photos onto the internet to save computer space. If you make the picture galleries you create publicly available, you can earn some money too. $2 per one thousand views doesn't sound like much, but you can upload a picture of a semi-nude Lindsey Lohan, get loads of views for minimal effort, and they definitely will come, and make lots of money. The really great thing is, you will still be earning from the picture for as long as the internet is around. 10% Referral earnings, lots of residual income, not strictly photography because you can earn from other people's artisitic efforts, but an excellent easy earner.
