How Can I Make Money Using My Computer?

Amazon Affiliate Program

The Amazon affiliate program allows you to direct people through a link to Amazon from your website and receive a commission if they make a purchase. If you do not currently have a website or blog, you'll need to create one. Blogger is a website that will walk you through the process of creating your own blog. Once your blog is created, visit Amazon and send in an application for their affiliate program. It's important for your blog or website to have some content up before applying to the program; this will significantly increase your chances of getting accepted. Once you've been accepted you can post links to products related to what your site's content and receive a commission when people purchase products from Amazon.

Google AdSense

Google AdSense pays website and blog owners when individuals click on advertisements that appear on their website. Google gets the money to pay website owners from advertisers looking to drive traffic to their own websites. To participate in Google AdSense you have to send in an application that includes your website address. The amount of money you can make off Google AdSense depends on how much traffic your website gets.

Two of the best websites out there that will pay you to write are Demand Studios and Associated Content. Associated Content pays $1 to $4 to write 400-word articles about topics that you enjoy.
