Imagine if every time you shared a link you could earn money? Well you can with the AdFly link shortening service. Whenever somebody clicks on your link they’re shown a quick advert before they’re taken to the page you linked them to. You can post the links on your Twitter, Facebook, and anywhere else you usually share them. It’s a really easy way for anybody to make money online.

2. Get paid to share files.

There’s plenty of file hosts that allow you to share your things for free, but they probably don’t pay you each time they are downloaded right? Well ShareCash & CPALead do. All you need to do is upload your files & they’ll pay you anywhere between $1 to $20 each time somebody downloads them.
The catch is that in order for somebody to download it they’ll need to fill in a really quick survey, but if you’re sharing something that they want then getting them to do that shouldn’t be a problem.

3. Get paid when somebody leaves your website.

If you own a website or blog & somebody decides to leave without buying anything then you’re not going to make any money. However thanks to CPALead’s exit traffic tool you can even make money from the people that decide to go elsewhere.

4. Get onto the stock market (the easy way).

The stock market can seem daunting to a newcomer and it can be an easy way to lose money if you don’t know what you’re doing. However social investment network sites like eToro make it a lot easier by allowing you to simply follow the financial trading activity of other users (preferably ones that seem to be doing well) & copy them. You can connect with others & discuss investments allowing you to quickly learn all about the stock market & discover which stocks are the ones to buy into.

5. Sell your skills.

I’ve always hated gambling simply because I always seem to lose, but then I came across this risk-free (and legal) technique that allows you to turn the tables on the bookmakers and make the most out of their free bets. How does it work? Well basically you’re backing something to win but also backing it draw or lose at the same odds meaning you’re matching your bet and removing the risk of losing. The first time I tried it I managed to make £15 in 30 minutes.

12. Buy and sell domain names.

Domain Names Icon
A domain name is basically the address of a website, such as “Google.com” or “Ebay.co.uk”. Domain names can be worth a lot of money and there’s a huge market for them which is only ever growing by the day. As an example Facebook recently bought “FB.com” for a reported 8.5 million dollars. If you’re lucky you might be able to think of a great domain that nobodies registered yet which would allow you to purchase it much cheaper (you can check availability here), or you could buy & sell existing domains in marketplaces such as Sedo, Godaddy Auctions & Flippa.

13. Get paid to shop online.

By using cashback websites like TopCashBack or Quidco you can get paid for shopping online. Sites like these work with a whole load of retailers & when you shop with them rather than going to the retailers own website they get paid a commission. Being the generous folks that they are they then give some of that commission back to you in the form of “cashback”.

14. Create your own blog.

Don’t think that you have to be a tech whiz to get started blogging. With sites like WordPress it’s actually fairly easy & in just a couple of clicks you could have your very own blog set up on the web.

It’s really easy to get started making money as an affiliate with sites like ShareASale & it can be very rewarding indeed with some companies willing to pay over $100 just for 1 successful purchase. As an affiliate you’ll basically be selling other companies products or services for them & receiving a commission each time you manage to do so. The companies will give you a tracking link & instead of sending people directly to their website via their normal web address you simply send them through your affiliate link instead. That way they can track the sale back to you & credit your account.
