Today, we post the top 20 Neglected Big Money Making Ways which when think can help you make huge profits from internet.

1 – Write your own blog
Blogging has made several millionaires throughout the world.  If you have a subject that you know a lot about then consider writing a blog.  A little promotion, and word of mouth advertising can make it take off in no time.  You have to be consistent and post on a daily basis to keep your readers inetersted and coming back. We have a guide about blogging which will take you through all the steps.  Your main sources of income for a blog will be text link sales, small banner sales, and of course Google Adsense.

2 – Become an Ebay Entrepreneur
If you can find bulk discounts on products and then resell them on ebay, then you have a business in a snap.  Remember though that there is a ton of competition out there, so its not all that easy to find products that you can sell on Ebay for a huge profit.  Usually the best bet is to goto flea markets and garage sales looking for collectibles and products that would fetch a good markup on ebay.  This takes a lot of trial and error, however there are literally tens of thousands of people who make a living on ebay by doing just that.

3 – Participate in “Get Paid to” Programs
These include programs that pay you to do simple tasks like, filling out surveys, surfing the net, reading email ads, clicking links, etc.  Although there is money in these types of programs, you will not become rich, nor will you be able to replace a full time job with the earnings.  Most of these rely on a lot of recruiting of downlines to succeed.

4 – Run an Internet Forum.
There are thousands of other forums out there.  The webmasters usually don’t run the sites to lose money.  Forums can be hard to monetize, however Google Adsense can usually cover the hosting costs of most of them. Running a forum is not an easy task.  There are a lot of things a forum owner needs to worry about.  Forum rules, moderators, subjects, bringing in traffic, etc. It takes a lot of work, but forums also seem to generate residual traffic once they become popular, if well moderated.  We have a whole guide about Making money running forums at:

7 – Charge a fee to access part of your website
Even though the Web offers a huge amount of free content, if your content is unique and valuable, you can charge money for online access to this content. If you’re not comfortable charging for all of your content, offer a premium area or sell critical bits piece by piece. Some newspapers, for example, offer free online access to their daily editions but charge a fee to view their archives.  Another example of this is TeamEarners/Talkgold.  We charge for access to the TeamEarners folders.

8 -  Create a Mailing list and selling adverting at the bottom of it
Have a website about a certain topic?  Well then why not put a link to sign up to your weekly newsletter.  In these newsletters you can offer weekly updates about whatever your site is about.  At the bottom you can place an ad, and sell this space to potential advertisers.  Email marketing is very valuable if the advertiser knows that their ads are targeted as well as read by the recipients.  Here is a site that lists dozens of free mailing list softwares if your hosting plan does not come with one already:  http://www.sofotex.com/download/Email_Utilities/Mailing_Lists

9 -  Earn Money by coming up with original Videos, Audios, Articles or Images
This is a pretty cool idea.  This website: http://www.associatedcontent.com will pay you money plus bonus’s for original work you submit.  This could be videos, audio, images or articles that you write.  Note that they only accept the better content and pay anywhere from $2-$20 usually per submission that they accept.  Make sure your work is original and if its an article it is as professional as possible.  It may take a few tries to get something accepted, but once you do you will know what they are looking for.  http://www.zango.com/destination/Provider/ is also another site that will pay for videos, audio, games and applications whih are original.

14 – Come up with a creative, unique, and crazy idea for a website.
Sometimes the simplest ideas can make you rich if it’s unique and gives people a reason to tell their friends about it.  Take for example Alex Tew’s Milliondollarhomepage.com idea.  All he did was sell ads in a unique way and allowed people to track his quest for $1 million.  Media outlets picked up on it and soon almost everyone on the internet was talking about it.  Of course it’s not easy to come up with an idea that no one else had yet, and even harder to decide if it’s worth your time and money to pursue, but the few who do, can make a ton of cash.

15 -  Sports Arbitrage Betting
As you know, sports betting can be a fun and exciting way to add to your entertainment while watching a sporting event.  I bet most of you didn’t know that you can make money with it without even risking a thing.  Thats right!  Arbitrage means, an opportunity to buy something in one market, and then turn around and sell it for a higher price at another market, which values the sale item higher.  Basically thats what you are doing in sports betting arbitrage.  There are hundreds of online sportsbooks out there, and they all have different odds to certain sporting event.

One sportsbook may give a favorable odd to Team A, while another will give a favorable odd to their opponent, Team B.  This means if you bet on the underdog at each sportsbook, you will walk away with a profit.  We discuss this topic further in the sports arbitrage guide we have.

Many of the larger forums have members who actually sell their signature space.  Signatures on forums that do not use the nofollow tag can be of great value to webmasters.  Not only do member names with hundreds of posts offer hundreds of backlinks to ones site for SEO purposes, but thay are also a great way to drive traffic to your site.  We recommend checking out http://www.big-boards.com to find all the largest forums out there.  See which ones allow signatures and register an account.  Participate in the forums and once you have a large post count offer your signature for sale.  We have seen signatures sell for between $5-$30 per month dependant on the forum and number of posts a user has.  If you have 30 forum accounts at various forums that you regularly post with and sell 2 signature links per forum that wuld be $300 – $1800 per month in earnings!

20 – Suggestive Selling on Yahoo Answers
Go to http://answers.yahoo.com and register an account  You can then sign up for clickbank.com or another affiliate network like Cj.com.  Once this is done, look for questions in yahoo answers that you can honestly recommend a product to.  If someone is asking a question about forex trading, and where to learn about it, goto clickbank, and look for forex trading related ebooks.  Find one and then answer the question something like this:

I too got interested in forex trading.  There is a lot of good information out there, but also a lot of people looking to take advantage of you.  The one ebook that really taught me a lot, and helped me earn my first set of profits was http://your-affiliate-url-here.com

I find it easier to look for products at clickbank, and then searching for terms related to that product at Yahoo Answers.  You would be surprised how easy it can be to make a sale since you pretty much have someone looking for the exact information you are offering a product for.
