Great Ways to Make Money Online

There's a great post over at Web Worker Daily that covers 10 ways to make money online. This is great for us bloggers who want to make money on the web. The post is pretty basic, but it might remind you of an idea that you haven't pursued yet. Give it a read!

Check Out PayPerPost's Updates

If you're trying to be a paid blogger, you definitely should know about PayPerPost. They provide a system where bloggers earn money for writing paid posts. The subject of this post, however, is the update that PayPerPost just rolled out.

One new thing that intrigues me is the "review my post" program for affiliates. Bloggers can put a badge on every post that lets a reader sign up for PayPerPost and review the current post. When a reader does this, he earns $7.50. The cool part is that the referring blogger also earns $7.50.

Interestingly, PayPerPost also has upped the ante with their advertisers. A couple recent opportunities have offered as much as $150 for a post. Granted, this required a high Google PageRank (6+, I believe), but that is still neat.

All in all, PayPerPost seems to be shedding the stigma that they're just for two-bit bloggers. It will be interesting to see if they can gain some respect from top bloggers by taking these moves.

A Great Tool for Tracking Your Pursuits

If you're serious about blogging for money, you should get serious about keeping track of things.

One great way to do this is with an online service like Side Job Track. This is an online job tracking application that keeps up with your clients, estimates, projects, services, materials, etc. You can run reports, create invoices, and manage your time. It does all this from within a nice-looking interface.

For a great write-up of the application, check out this post. It explains some of the features, as well as how the program can be used.

Personally, I think this is a great tool for any freelancer or contract worker. Paid bloggers can easily use it to track earnings from advertising programs, paid post companies, and consulting jobs. It's flexible enough to handle all your needs.

However, be sure to keep track of your bank accounts in a reliable accounting program. Side Job Track is merely used for your client data and actual job details. Don't rely on something like this to keep from writing a hot check.
