5 Sites Where You Can Make Decent Money

1. PickyDomains.com – PickyDomains is a site that provides service to people looking to find catchy and unique inputs for a domain, name and slogan. PickyDomains taps into the online community for suggestions, and the contributor gets paid for suggestions the customer chooses and registers. Signing up as a contributor with PickyDomains is easy. Within minutes, your account can be set up and you’re ready to make suggestions. Depending on the order type and contributor ranking, payment averages at $20 to $75. Payment is made through PayPal

2. Squidoo.com – At Squidoo, a page is called a lens, and a person who creates a lens is dubbed a lensmaster. A lensmaster does not have to be recognized as an expert in a specific field. It can be anybody interested on a certain subject. Squidoo relies on affiliate marketing and advertising for revenue. For every lens created, the lensmaster gets a 50% revenue cut. Minimum payout amount is automatically set at $10 but can be reset to $1. Payment is through PayPal.

3. About.com – About.com is a site that provides people with answers and solutions to their everyday needs, whether it be about health, electronics, online tools, a hobby, employment and more. Contributors to About.com are called guides and are considered experts in their fields and can cover an available topic in depth. Once accepted, a guide is offered a compensation package where he earns a base amount for content created. A guide who encourages readership and generates considerable amount of page views can earn more.

4. oDesk.com – oDesk is an online platform where clients (employers) and contractors meet. If you don’t have an account with oDesk yet, all you have to do is sign up, upload your most recent photo and you’re ready to supply information about your skills, education, work experience and certifications. oDesk also provides a number of tests you can take to showcase your proficiency in certain categories. When scouring for jobs, take note there are jobs that pay by the hour and others at fixed rate. For hourly jobs, verified work is guaranteed payment. This can also mean scrutiny of a contractor’s work habits. For fixed-price jobs, you get paid per deliverable, and there is no need to log hours. On the negative, there is risk of non-payment because oDesk does not guarantee fixed payment.



5. ReviewStream.com – ReviewStream pays people to write reviews on just about anything – from household products to cosmetics, restaurants to airlines, hotels, the latest gadgets, books, movies, a whole lot more. A review is more likely to get accepted if it is about a reviewer’s experience and opinion of a product rather than the product’s basic descriptions. For a review to make the cut, minimum word count is set at 200 words. If a review is rejected for being too common, more fact than opinion, ReviewStream may still buy it at bulk rate, $0.30 instead of the regular rate of $1.50. Once the minimum payout of $30 is reached, payment is made through Paypal.
