ALT-5 Fastest Money Making Sites
I have tried many sites you can earn money from (or so they say) surveys, pay-per-click, Ebay, affiliate marketing, blogs, you name it. It did not take me long to see that surveys were a joke, if not scam, blogs took forever to pay off, and selling was not for me. The only sites where I was actually able to earn considerable money were writing sites that pay for articles and product reviews. There are several, and my experience with them varies.
Reviewstream.com beats them all. You can review anything you want, from books to hotels and restaurants to individual products like shampoo or lipstick. Each one currently brings guaranteed 40 cents, credited to your account immediately upon publication; certain categories pay $2 per a more detailed review. This does sound like a lot, but if you work, you get paid, and the earnings add up. The reviews are easy to write, and there is no limit to how many you can write per day. Do five 40-cents ones a day, and you will easily make $60 a month:
5 X $0.40 = $2$2 X 30 days = $60
As you see, the payout minimum of $50 is not hard to reach at all. *Note: Reviewstream wants you to write for them exclusively. It means that you cannot submit reviews published anywhere else online, even written by yourself. They have a software that verifies that, and if they catch you "self-plagiarizing" (their word) your account will be banned.
Another rising review site that is very promising is SharedReviews.com; if their program goes as planned, they will soon become #1 in the industry. During Beta, they paid $2 per review (with a cap of $150 per writer), and after the full launch the owners hope that $2 will be the minimum a good review brings to the author.
AssociatedContent.com is a rather well known site that accepts articles. While their rates are not very good, and sometimes they reject articles for various reasons, but it you submit one a day you should make somewhere around $100 per month, plus page view bonus. Articles, however, are more difficult to write than product reviews, at least they are for me. A good article takes more time and research, so even 1 a day can be a strain for some. For that reason, I did not list Associated Content as the fastest money-maker.
