·          CreamAid - For blogs only, advertisers provide you with a topic and you write about it on your site. To do this, you have to install a flash widget into your blog post. The more people you bring into the conversation through the widget, the more you get paid. It's difficult to explain.

·        eefoof - Think of it as YouTube + Flickr + Music. You add original content and they pay you based on the visitors you attract.

·          Ether - If you are an expert on something, Ether provides a way for people to pay you to talk about it in a one-on-one setting. If you want to charge $250/hr, that's fine. You have to do all the advertising so you should have a blog or site already established.

·         eBay- Come on, you know what this is. Gather your junk and sell it!

·          eBay Stores - If you have a real store and want to sell your stuff online, this is a decent option to get you started.

·           ELance - Name gives it away. Programmers, Codes, Web Designers, Writers, Editors, can look for freelance opportunities.

·          Feedburner / Google - Not only are they the best place to house your feeds, they will also add ads to your feed and website. You get paid per impression and if you implement Google Adsense to your feed, you are paid per click.

·          Google Adsense - Come on, you don't need an explanation; these ads are all over the place. Google displays relevant ads based on your site's content

·     Google Adwords - Create simple text ads and choose keywords that determine when they are displayed. This is where the Adsense Content comes from. You do not need a site for this.

·          H3.com - Get paid to fill jobs. Commissions range from $50-$5,000. It all depends on how tough the job is to fill and how desperate the hiring company is. This is another one that's tough to explain.

·          Indeed.com - Add their job board to your site. They then post jobs based on the geographic location of visitors and the position types you pre-select. I tried it and I they continually report that I sent 0 visitors and I know that's not right. Nevertheless, I may have an isolated problem so they make the list.

·         InnerSell - If you have a customer that wants to buy something you cannot sell, you can sell the lead here.

·        Jellyfish - This is a shopping site that pays you a percentage of the purchases made by people you refer. They are not part of a wider affiliate program so you do it direct.

·         Jigsaw - It's a pretty flaky model but if you have a Rolodex full of good contacts, you can sell them here. I can't make sense of it but it looks like you get $0.10 per profile.

·          Microsoft Adcenter - Bid on keywords and Microsoft places your created ads then they are searched for. This is similar to Google Adwords. You do not need a site for this.

·         Overstock.com - Sell your stuff on Overstock.com

·       Pageflakes - This is a company that developed a user-defined Ajax homepage to show feeds, flickr photos, and a ton of other things. Think of it as a replacement for your Google Homepage. Anyway - they'll pay you $1 per referral that you send over. They are not part of a wider affiliate program so you do it direct. This one is pretty simple.

·      Pay Per Post - I don't agree with this model entirely but they have advertisers that will pay you to write about their products on your blog.

·     Pheedo - If you have an RSS feed, run it through Pheedo. Like Feedburner, they can include ads into your feed and if you really become large, advertisers will pay a premium for you to show their ads.

·         Shareasale.com - I've never really worked with them but I do have an account. They are similar to Commission Junction and Linkshare however they seem to have lower tiered companies with advertising offers.

·         Shoemoney - This is a blog that can teach you a ton on making money online. I've spent hours reading his old stuff

·         Software Judge - They will pay you up to $50 to review software.

·        Text Link Ads - I have never made a dime here but I know people that have. You can earn by sending advertisers to them or by selling spots on your site. You must have a real site or blog to do this - nothing on a shared domain (i.e. /blogspot).

There are several clean ways of making money on the internet, through blogging from your website, free blogs, Forex trading, etc. if you do know about it.  I am sure you must have heard people talking about Forex trading all over the place, this is real as well. 

Before the inception of blogging, there were other ways people were communicating online, such as email lists, diaries, bulletin board systems, chronicles and we also mail to pen pals and more but when the internet came about, internet users wanted a way of communicating with people all over the world. Today all over the world, people now use this to communicate almost everywhere.

In the beginning of blogging they were mainly online diaries of people.  Others could comment on the people’s blog, and therefore communicate. Now there are numerous different kinds of blogs.  They are still those who use it as a digital journal, but there are also corporate blogs, marketing blogs, topic-specific blogs, private blogs, and even blogs that are simply blog for search engines for people.

There are so many possibilities with blogging.  Using your imagination and creativity, there is no end!

Blogging – A blog is a web-based self-publication made up of interrupted articles.  Blogs use post-based entries catalogued by date, time etc.

RSS- Is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication.  It is a family of XML files formats for web syndication used by news websites, pod casts, vblogs and audioblogs.  The technology behind RSS allows you to subscribe to websites that have provided RSS feeds.  These are typically sites that change or add content regularly.  To use this technology you need to set up some type of aggregation service using aggregator software.

Aggregator- An aggregator is a software application, webpage or service that automatically collects updated publications from a number of sources, such as RSS and other XML feeds from blog, audioblog or vblog websites that the user has signed up to.

Audio blogging is a variant on blogging using audio to reach the audience instead of text used by traditional blogs.  Audioblogs have similar form as blogs.  There is usually a title and brief description, but the bulk of content is in the linked audio file.

Podcasting  is a method of publishing audio broadcasts via the internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed of new files (usually MP3s).  Podcasting is distinct from other types of online media delivery because of its use of subscription websites.

A blog entry usually consists of a title, headline, body, post date, comments, tags, categories, links etc.  One great thing about blogs is that they are always personalized.  You can select your templates, and there are so many already designed template to decide on this will determines how your blog will look, including its layout, which is usually provided by the blogging company you are using either blogger or worldpress.  You can also find more templates by searching on other blogs or websites.

Blogging has reached new heights of popularity, with certain websites that look at the popularity of a blog through how many citations it has, or the affiliation it has.
