If you're looking for a few easy ways to make a few bucks from your blog or website then you might consider the following.
Project Payday has an affiliate program that is quite rare. They will pay you for leads as opposed to buyers. Send people to the Project Payday site and if they fill in their name and email you will receive a commission - they don't have to buy anything - they just have to sign up for the mailing list. Commissions start at $1.50 and increases as you send more people. This is about the easiest money you can make as all you really have to do is post your link on your site or better yet write a little blurb about Project Payday and include your link. This costs you zilch and you can make a few bucks in the process.

Time Sensitive Offer
Some of you may be familiar with Russell Brunson. He is another IM Guru who is currently running a week long promo for one of his products. To spur on interest he is giving away a 44 page report called the IM-Myth. You can get the report for free and as usual you will be presented with one of those "one time only offers" that you may or may not want. (I didn't) However whether or not you take the offer you can still sign up to give away the free report and like Project Payday above he will pay you for every free report you give away.
You get $1.00 for each person you get to download the freebie and there is nothing for you to do other than post a link. The offer runs from Oct 3 - 9 so get started now if you are interested.
You can get all the info at Russell Brunson's site.

The Ultimate Supertip
This is the brainchild of Harvey Segal and has been around a while now. This is a simple ebook giveaway that can make you a nice piece of change over time but you will have to cough up 10 bucks to make it work. I have this link plastered over several of my blogs and websites and day in and day out it brings in 10 bucks here and 10 bucks there. The secret is simple - he writes great copy and the free ebook add on or come on sells really really well. The nice thing is that you don't have to do a dam thing as he rebrands the book for you and every time someone buys the up sell you make all the profit. Harvey does ok too as he is amassing a huge list from this campaign and promptly sells more stuff to the traffic you give him.
You can get it here. The Ultimate Supertip
In case you are wondering I make about $30 a day from these links on 300 to 400 visitors so your results will vary depending on how much traffic you get. I will say that Project Payday converts at an astonishing rate of 1 in 3 people who click the link. ie. 1 out of every 3 people who follow the link end up signing up and I get paid. The Ultimate Supertip is more reasonable at about 1 in 20.
Anyhow, just thought I would give you a few of the easiest systems for making small but consistent amounts of cash.
oh... You might want to add a link to WAH or Work at Home Watchdog as well as they have user reviews of all the popular Clickbank products and if people end up buying something on their site you get the commission. You won't make a lot but every sale adds up and it costs you zip.
And while I'm at it... definately sign up with DealDotCom. They are new and I have posted on them previously (Dealdotcom) but they have already earned me a few bucks. I won't go into all the details as you can visit the site to learn more but I want to say that the affiliate system looks to be promising. It cost me nothing to join and I have made $43 in commissions so far. Not bad for a few minutes work setting up the link. They also have some pretty good deals there as well.
BlogRush
You've seen the widget all over the net. Does it create free traffic? So far I would say yes but not an avalanche. My stats show 5 or 6 people a day coming from it which is fine if not overwhelming. My feeling as always is some traffic is better than no traffic so if you haven't signed up yet you may as well. Yes it's free.
You can check them out here. BlogRush
Update: I have ceased using Blogrush - it just doesn't produce quality traffic.
Good Luck

Free Project Payday Membership
I have talked about Project Payday on several posts in the past and have encouraged my readers to avoid paying for the eBook as you could get a lot of the info by just going to the forums I listed instead. Now you don't have to parse all the info as Project Payday can now be had without buying the book.
The folks at Project Payday are now offering the whole package - Training Guide, Videos, Mentoring, Free Offers and other resources in exchange for you filling out a free offer on their site.
You only have to fill out 1 offer and while most of the offers will cost a buck or two, you will be rebated the cost by Project Payday.
If you don't want to wait for the rebate you can fill out one offer that is completely free and get your Project Payday membership instantly. The offer is for Work at Home Manifesto and you will still get a rebate of 2 dollars for filling out the form. Essentially this form is nothing more than adding your name and email to the Work at Home Manifesto mailing list.
The program has been updated since I first bought the program and is now a very comprehensive guide for anyone interested in making money with IFW's or freebie sites.
For those of you who are not familiar with this method of making money online you can read about it on several of my previous posts. I will say this though - this is one of the few legitimate ways of making money and the system has skyrocketed over the past year. It is easy to do - costs you nothing - and it works. How many programs have you found that can say that. Moreover a complete internet novice can make money with it just as easily as a seasoned vet.
Now that you can get Project Payday for free I highly recommend that you give it a shot. You won't get rich with this but everyone can make a decent income with it. $100 -$200 a day is the norm.
Note: This still only works for Americans and in a limited fashion for Canadians. Sorry but the system is funded largely by American corporations and they are only interested in the North American market at present. If anyone knows of a similar program in other parts of the world please let me know and I will check it out.
Here is the link for those interested...

Have you noticed the new BlogRush widget. Mine is located over on the right hand column and has been displayed for the last three days. What is it and what does it do?
BlogRush is a new viral traffic generation system created by Internet marketing heavy hitter John Reese and his crew. The concept is simple enough - sign up for free - place the widget code on your site and forget about it. Easy - no problem. So... what exactly does it do for you?
The widget displays post titles from other blogs in your category thus allowing your readers to find more information that might interest them. Of course it also allows them to click away from your site which is not usually a good thing. In this case however it might be ok. Each time the widget is displayed on your site you earn a credit and this means that your blog posts will be showing up on the widget on someone else's blog. ( The more credits you get based on your traffic - the more times your link will show up on other sites. )
I have watched the results now for three days and have decided to keep this - my stat counter has shown me that 46 people have clicked on my widget link located elsewhere in the blogoverse and landed on my blog. Not bad at all considering this has cost me nothing, the widget isn't an eyesore and hell traffic is traffic.
You can join here or click the "Add your posts free" button on the widget.
Update: I have removed the widget from my blog. After the initial hype the system never really provided the traffic that the creator hoped for. Ultimately it is pretty much of a dud.

DealDotCom
Another program I've been playing with is a discount version of ClickBank called DealDotCom. The premise behind this site is to sell stuff at a steep discount over clickbank but the twist is that it only sells one product each day and if you snooze you loose as the offer is not extended past the deadline. It has the usual affiliate program attached to it and is just starting up. If you are interested you can check it out Here.

Instant Indexing on Google
Do you want a fast way to get your sites indexed?
This is a follow up to my post of a few days ago which you can read here.
How to get Traffic
The site I'm about to show you will cost you $97 a month to use it's service so those of you who are just starting out might want to hold off on this until you get your little blog empire up and running. For those of you already making headway then you might want to seriously consider this.
Better Than Backlinks
The sales page explains it all but I will add a few comments of my own. I have been using this program in conjunction with Backlink Solutions and the results have been pretty phenomenal to say the least - especially when creating new blogs and getting almost instant traffic to them.
Here's the scoop. Better than Backlinks allows you to obtain your own blog on a PR7 website. While your blog wont have a PR7 you will be linked to the PR7 site and this means that the search bots will crawl your blog countless times daily and moreover any links you have on your blog will get crawled as well. What this means is that if you use this blog to link to all your other sites and blogs you will get them indexed fast. How fast? Well all my new blogs have been indexed the same day I created them. Is that fast enough for you.
After posting a link to a new blog from my PR7 linked blog I then use Backlink Solutions to post a few high PR4 links and a PR5 link to it just to get a little juice flowing to the new blog. I don't post too many links too fast as this would look unnatural and send out warning flags to the search engines. I eventually post links from a hundred or more PR blogs on Backlink Solutions over the course of a month and presto I have a steady stream of traffic coming in to a one month old blog.
I have been creating about 10 niche blogs a week for the past two months and this system has had all of them indexed and getting traffic within a week of creating the blogs. In one case I received traffic 26 minutes after creating a new blog and posting an article. This is exceptional and normally I don't see traffic for a few days. The less competition in your niche the faster this works.
Many of you will wonder whether the cost of these two programs are worth it and I can only say this. The Adsense revenue I get from all the new blogs created over the past two months has not yet reached the point that it pays for my memberships but I suspect that these costs will be covered soon - perhaps another month or two. However when I add my affiliate sales in to the mix then the costs have been more than covered. If you are only after Adsense revenue on your blogs then you might want to hold off on this but if you have some affiliate products that convert well but low traffic is a problem then this is for you. At some point you will have to move to the next level by investing in your business and these are easily two of the best investments I have made.
Ok that's enough for now.
