Make Money Online

This page will have many different types of books on how to make money online. No, not all online things are scams, but you do have to do your homework so that whatever you do is legit. I have read some really good books on the subject and even though the topic may not necessarily be something that I am doing right now, they all expand my way of thinking. I have provided Amazon links to the books for easy access. So without further ado, here we go.

"Get Amazon Products for FREE (or Close to Free)" by Alan Lee

This book is very short but explains the process of writing reviews in exchange for reduced prices or free products. It was a quick read and who doesn't like being able to get things at a lesser cost. It is my understanding that Amazon no longer allows free or reduced products in exchange for reviews. However, the book also includes many sites and Facebook pages where you can sign up for free and potentially receive offers. I can tell you that if this works, I will be adding a products page to this blog for reviews.

I have just signed up with several of the sites listed in the book and after browsing the sites, this could be so much fun. I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I also signed up for some of the Facebook pages to do a comparison.  One avenue may be better than another and as time goes on I will be updating what works and doesn't.  Some of the websites and Facebook pages are no longer active. This could be because Amazon has changed their requirements for reviews. This isn't a bad thing, just different. I can say of all the sites I signed up with, so far, only a few have gotten back to me. However, even with these few, it's possible to get free or low-cost products to review and keep. If you would like to take a look at this really cool idea, here's the link.

As always,
Happy Reading




"70 Painless Ways to Make Money for $5 or Less" by Marc Pierce
If you are looking for a short description of these ways than this book nails it. I found myself just skimming through the book to find things that might interest me, but maybe that's exactly what the author intended. Personally, I would have liked more detail on the topics discussed. I do however like that he included links to some different sites. I did check out some of these such as jobs.problogger.net and bloggingpro.com/jobs. If you want a job blogging these are great sites.

There are several other ways to make money in his book and the one that surprised me the most was peer to peer lending! I have to admit I'm old school and I had no idea that there were sites for this. I also checked out the site listverse.com which pays you to write articles for them that match their needs. All in all, it's pretty good information and I did learn some things from it. Here's the link for you. As always, happy reading.
