I can't believe it. 5 weeks into my quest of searching for money via the internet with not much knowledge of how to make money over the past 8 days I have racked up $257.53. Was this easy? Relatively yes. Did I have to put some time and effort into making this money? Yes.

Here is how I did it, so that hopefully you too can benefit from it.

I am not guaranteeing that you will make money because I can only tell you what I have done and what has worked for me. The next 6 points is how I have achieved $250 a week after 4 weeks on the internet. I suggest you use the information that I am providing you to make money as well because it has the potential to go far (even further then $250 a week).

1. Hubpages, being new here I have made next to nothing, which is not surprising. Out of my 5 hubs I have had roughly 100 hits per week over the last 5 weeks. I have added AdSense and Amazon but as aforementioned my income from this has been next to nothing, although after a couple of months here no doubt these earnings should increase. However, it has been a great place to build a foundation for making money on the internet. One example is I have received 300 impressions that I wouldn't have had if I wasn't on this site. Although most people on Hubpages say you want "organic" or search engine traffic, for me any traffic is good traffic. So Hubpages for me is really about actively engaging in forums to build an online community, so for those people who haven't signed up yet, do this first. So, regardless of how long you have been on the internet, Hub Pages will provide you with a great community to help you start to achieve income online.

2. Deal Some Drugs - Just kidding, I'm just a user.

3. PAID SIGN UPS are  a tad hard to get but the rewards are great, sites like this will pay you nearly $100 if you sign a single person up for their paid web hosting. I think I was a bit lucky to get a sign up soon after I joined the program but I had received a larger number of clicks so it does show how people are interested in earning $100 if one person signs up via the posted link. If you think that it costs $120 to host a site via this company and you refer a person and then receive $100 you are really getting a good quality host and domain for $20, not bad huh? So join the $100 sign up revolution here. What have you got to lose? Sign some people up and earn $100 for each sign up, you would be crazy to miss this chance to make significant changes in your weekly income.

4. GET PAID TO WRITE- In the past 5 weeks I've set up two other accounts with writing services that not only pay you per article or per 1,000 impressions but you get a small commission (courtesy of the owners) of all the money that people you sign up make. So here, you get paid to write and get payed for doing nothing after you sign people up to write for these websites. In no particular order here is the first 1 (you set the price of your own articles!) - Sign up here , and after you have signed up at that one sign up for this one (this one has a multi level referral program so you get multiple levels of commission, which is really great). Both these programs either allow you to SELL your articles for an amount set by you or let's you earn a different amount of money per 1,000 views depending on how popular the article is. On top of this you get part of the companies 'share' if you refer people to the progrmas. So You earn money by writing and by referring people.

5. Point trading - Currently, I haven't made any money from this one but I have the potential to make money or get great things. A lot of people talk about doing paid surveys online and how they earn cash or rewards, however that can usually take time as the surveys have to make there way to you rather than you finding them. This website, namely "Lockerz" however allows you to earn points which you can trade in for great things like New Ipod's, vouchers and many other things. So although I haven't earned any money I have just received a new 32gig Ipod Touch after 3 days with the program, "Lockerz" again, 5 days later it arrived at my house. This program lets you earn points by simply visiting their site each day and posting a single comment. On top of this you can refer people too. Before you head on over, you'll need to shoot me an email at jacksonriddle1@gmail.com so I can tell you something more, this is also a free program to use. In the email make the subject "POINT TRADING" and I'll reply to you A.S.A.P . What you do with your rewards is up to you, use them or sell them. Anyway, it's a great way to easily get new products, so this site is a must.

6. Social NetworkingThe next two are not big but little things do add up. The popularity has been on the rise and I hope this will become a larger one for me in the future. Unfortunately this one does require a bit more work than the others but it does pay off. Pretty much on facebook and twitter put together I have about 5,000 friends and followers, not so much when compared to others but still not bad. How do I make money from this? I sell tweets and status updates for $1 each. Simple as that. I earn roughly $1-$3 a day (not bad but not great) from this currently but as I said I have only been monetizing the internet for the past 5 weeks, so this is not bad when you compare it to some poor AdSense results. I'm not running this through a website or anything, so if you would like to buy a tweet or a status update from me send an email to me at jacksonriddle1@gmail.com with the subject "Buy Tweets". This last one is a bit different, you can buy my tweets to promote nearly anything you want so that that makes money or you can choose to sell tweets like I do, it's up to you.

So there you have it! I used these 6 methods to earn $250 in one week after 4 weeks. Hopefully with this knowledge you can achieve this in a much shorter amount of time. I will be posting some articles later on Social Networking so that you too can easily earn money from facebook and twitter.

So by emulating what I have done I hope that you too achieve success.

I'm Jackson Riddle, May all your checks be high while your stress stays low!
