The purpose of this hub is to share ways to earn online for free and to help others with traffic and advertising for their site.I am going to include links and a few ways just to earn cash online for free. I am actually a business owner and incentive publisher as well as a author and the owner of three stores online. I have been working online for over four years and I am always looking for new ways to earn online or to share with others on how to make some extra cash.

One great way to earn online are GPT sites or Get Paid To sites. These sites are many so first you need to find one that you are comfortable with. One thing to first look for when you find one you like is the domain,make sure that the site has its own domain and looking up information about the owner is also useful. Do a search on the sites name by google or yahoo,see what others are saying concerning the site you have chosen. If you still need more reasons to join a site,ask. There are plenty of forums and sites that concern GPTs and other members are usually good about posting their expirences with a site online. If everything checks out then sign up to the site and check out their links,like the sites blogs and forums. Check to see if the site provides payment proof also,this is sometimes listed on a sites forums.Read the terms and see how much has been paid already to members. There are new sites which are as good as older ones that have not obviously paid out as much,do not rule them out however they are just getting started. Getting paid on these sites is pretty easy if you follow the directions. One way to earn is by completing offers or surveys as they are called. Most sites have tutorials on how to do offers correctly and if you need help or do not know how to do something they also are usually really good about helping you. Most sites also have daily surveys which can be an easy way to earn as well. GPTs also have trial offers that can earn you alot of cash and many have cash back offers which pays you for shopping. Another way to earn with these sites is referrals and contests. Many contests on GPTs have prizes ranging from $10.00 to $100.00. Referral earnings can be awesome if your referrals are active on the site.The payment options for GPTs range usually from Alertpay,Paypal,Checks,Money orders and in some cases gift cards,when you get paid depends on the site.

Another way to earn online is profile and pay you to post sites. These types of sites do not usually pay very much but after awhile your earnings can add up over time.Most sites like this pay you to post,blog,upload pictures and files,chat and build a profile.There is no real way to determine on many of these sites how much you make for the things you do but if you like to blog anyways,why not get paid to do it? A few sites like this would be Mylot,Yuwie,Flixya,ZenZuu and PayPerPost. Also there is a site called Cash Exchange that has many ways to earn online.

There is a great site that I came across awhile back that obviously has been out longer then I thought. It is called Amazon Mechanical Turk and it is really a good get paid to type site. Members can create something called "hits" which are jobs online for others to do. Once you complete a "hit" if it is done correctly you recieve whatever the hit was worth added to your account balance. The two payment methods for this site is deposit or to have your balance tranfsered to an Amazon gift card.

One site I have began using lately is WorkFromHomeHQ.com.This site is cool because all it requires is that you post ads to craiglist,that is it. You get paid around $0.15 a post and can post from 5- 20 posts a day depending on how many is available. Once you reach $20.00 you can request payment at anytime.

Alot of these sites let you utilize your google adsense accounts which can also earn you some cash as you go. Sites like Google Adsense and Adbrite is always a good thing to add to any sites or pages that you own,especially if you get a decent amount of traffic.

If you have ever considered opening your own online store or an incentive(GPT)site I have a few links that maybe helpful. When it comes to an online store I recommend Ecrater. I use to purchase my own site and I recieved little to no traffic even after much advertising and so on. Ecrater is a great site to get traffic and to show customers your items.If you do not have your own inventory for a store or lack the talent to make your own items I suggest dropshipping. Ebay is also a great way to earn some extra cash through dropshipping. Many sites allow dropshipping for free and it is a good way to make money online. It will require alot of time to dropship and find dependable sites to use but it is a good way to earn cash without little if any financial investment. In order to promote your site or store better make sure to do several search engine submissions,do link exchanges and include your site in your signatures on forums and emails. One other thing you can do is include your sites URL on all printed materials.

When it comes to an incentive site one thing to realize you must be willing to invest money in order to make money.When purchasing a site I suggest Shiftcode,their staff is very friendly and will help you with any questions you have. You can have them build the template for your site or use your own. The next things to do is promote your site and get members. A few ways to get new members is advertising on other GPT sites,creating blogs,posting your link on forums and inviting people you already know. You also need to get advertisers for your site and start adding legit offers for your members to do. Here is a great link that has many links to advertisers(affiliates),traffic help and other sites that show you how to build a great GPT site. The one thing to also remember when running a GPT is always be honest with your members and always keep track of offers and any that have expired.

One other way to earn a little online is through PPC(Paid to Click) advertising. If you own your own site or store placing ads from advertisers can earn you a good amount over time.When someone clicks one of your advertisers ads you earn money.

I hope this page helps a little and anything that anyone can add to it would be great.
