These are interesting times that we are living in. It does not hurt to have a small addition income apart from the monthly pay cheque that you take home. If you are someone who likes using computers and would love to write interesting things that other people would love to read, the additional income is not too far off.

There are a number of ways to make money online, but a handful is legitimate and safe. Beware of all the scams that ask you to pay a small fee to register yourself promising you thousands of Dollars overnight.

Here is list of the 5 most popular ways to make legitimate money online.

1. Google Adsense (Contextual Advertising)– Start by writing a blog on something that is interesting and attracts a lot of visitors. Google Adsense is a great way of having Google placing the right ads on your blog. Create an account in Adsense, write a great blog and start seeing those dollars flowing in.

2. Yahoo Publisher Network (Contextual Advertising) – Similar to Google Adsense, Yahoo Publisher Network allows you to place contextual ads to earn money.



3. Affiliate Programs – This is a great way to earn money online. You place products that a certain merchant wants to sell. Every sale that you generate from your site would yield you a percentage commission from the merchant. Amazon.com has a great affiliate program.

4. Ebay – This is a great place to make money online. Sell products online on Ebay for a tidy profit and that is a huge income based on the sales you do. Simple things like importing electronics from China and selling them in your country would give you tremendous profits.

5. Freelance Writing – If you are knowledgeable and know your stuff well enough, you should look at a lot of places that would pay you for writing. Helium, Shvoong are some places that you can start with.

There are tons of sites which talk about high paying keywords. Words like Chicago Lawyers or Accident Attorney’s or Real Estate and many other high paying keywords. The most important thing here is, do not make a site or a blog to just make money, “Add Value”! You will automatically attract a huge set of dedicated readers if you put in the right content. Till then have fun making those additional dollars :-)
