So far, my best earner with lots of potential future earnings has been e-how.  I haven't made much yet, but I've only just started. You can see your earnings grow everyday. The more articles you write, the better. I am also on 4-5 other sites as well. Some are too early to tell.

There are lots of legitimate and effective ways to make money online. At the same time, there are also lots of fake websites and self-proclaimed "gurus" out to milk people for all they are worth. Therefore, you have got to do some research, read a lot of unbiased reviews, check discussion forums, and use your discretion to search out the gems among the scams.

From my personal experience, I would say one of the best ways is to join Google Adsense. This is a program that displays ads on your site or blog and you get paid per click. However, you have got to adhere to the terms of service and not click your own ads, otherwise you will get banned and won't get reinstated.

Write interesting posts and update your blog regularly to build up traffic. Learn how to do basic SEO (search engine optimization) on your pages and build backlinks from other sites. You can also join sites where you can submit articles and share the Adsense revenue (just like here at Askables).

If you like promoting other people's products to earn a commission from each sale, you can join affiliate programs such as Clickbank. Clickbank specializes in digital products such as ebooks and software.

If you want to promote physical products instead, you should join either Amazon's or Ebay's affiliate programs. Both of them are good and have literally tons of interesting and unique products.

All the best and good luck with your online business ventures!

Some of the companies want to know about the tastes of their customers or potential customers. They administer their survey questionnaires online and pay you money for your opinion.

Some of the websites pay you money for checking their emails or reading the advertisements online.

You can also create your own website and put in the link to other sites. You earn money for each visit to the linked sites.

You can also ask other companies to put in an ad on your site. You charge them the banner placement cost.

Writing online content articles, write for print magazines, creating a blog, and writing for private clients is a good way to earn online. You can create your own ebooks and other types of products to sell and earn residual income.

I don't know any true ways to make fast money, but you can start making money within a month. I hope these tips help.
