OK this is how to make fast money online for free. Writing articles. I am not talking about writing articles for directories. I am talking about writing articles for content sites. Content sites are free to join and the ones I use put money into your PayPal account immediately or within a couple of days. You will not get rich or even close to it writing for content sites but you could make anywhere from $1000 to $4000 a month depending on how much time you put into writing articles.

I make money fast with Associated Content.

With Associated Content you can write topics on any subject and submit them for upfront payments. You will want to make sure that you are writing at least 400 word articles. When writing content make sure that you are writing for the web. What this means is that you will want to use SEO techniques and keywords that people are searching for. You can write local topics, hot trends, upcoming holiday stuff, how-to articles and just about anything that you have some particular knowledge on. When writing for Associated Content, do a search first and see that you are writing something not covered already or that you have a totally new twist to a subject. The more unique your topic, the more you get paid. Once you get an offer on your article and you accept the offer, you payment will be sent to your PayPal account with in 24 hours. Once you content is published you also get paid a residual for page views. The page view residuals are quite small however and these are paid out monthly to your PayPal account. There is no limit as to how many articles you can submit in a 24 hour period. The only drawback to Associated Content is that in order to get paid upfront payments you need to reside in the United States. However you still can receive page view residuals on your content no matter where you live. But if you are looking to make money online fast, this does not help.

Make money online fast writing for Demand Studios.

Another pretty cool place to make money fast is at Demand Studios. Demand Studios just like Associated Content is free to join and pays directly to your PayPal account. Demand Studios does not pay right away but they do have pay-outs twice a week. This is pretty fast. Demand Studios will pay $15 per article submitted. If you can write 10 articles a day that is $150 a day. For me that is pretty hard to do. But the nice thing is that you do not have to come up with your own article ideas.  Article titles are already given and all you have to do is claim the article you want to write about. If you chosen articles that you are already somewhat familiar on than writing the article goes much quicker.  It is required that you have resources to each article that you write. I won’t go into a lot of detail on this, you can read up on the rules for writing content at their website. You will also be submitting your article into a formatted template that they want you to use. Writing for Demand Studios can be quite rewarding financially if you like writing content at high volumes day in and day out. Once your articles are purchased they become the property of Demand Studios and you will not gain any further income from those articles. Demand Studios is a little more stricter than Associated Content as far as quality of articles but they are not unreasonable.

You may find that writing for Associated Content and Demand Studios will lead to other freelance writing offers outside of writing for these content sites. Many writers on these sites have spawned full time freelance writing careers just for getting recognized on these two sites alone. If you are seriously wanting to learn how to make fast money online for free, these two sites work great for getting that extra cash fast.

In its heyday maybe you could make money with Site Build It. I thought! However back then I though most anything was pretty good because I was a beginner and did not know how to build web sites and blogging was not as big and excepted as it is today. Unfortunately Site Build It has not kept up with the times and has not kept up with the new techniques in how to make money online free.

I have nothing against Site Build It or Ken Evoy. What I do find offensive is when one person calls Site Build It a scam they get very bullying. I have a friend Lis who probably not in the best judgement in my opinion called Site Build It a Scam and they made all sorts of nasty threats to her. This is what has inflamed so many people. If this company is so big and strong on their own why would they be so attacking to one person who makes one post calling them out. Serious legal threats and threats on reporting her to her hosting company were definitely uncalled for. Nobody probably would have even noticed this young lady’s post if they had not been so rude and harsh to her. Unfortunately Lis has made quite a few friends on the Internet in her short time of trying to make money online. Don’t think this bullying will go unnoticed!

I just Googled “Site Build It Scam” in parentheses and there are 325 pages. Did they go on the attack with every one of these sites? The only reason there are so many good reviews because of the high commission paid to affiliates. For $75 a pop I should endorse this product as well, instead of endorsing products that have no affiliate commissions but do what they claim to do and that is make money online.

If you want to read the post that created this buzz and angered so many people who are just trying to make money online legitimately and for free I must add. Then here is Lis’s post: Site Build It Scam Review. Make sure you take the time to read the comments. This is where so many people get irate.

Site Build It

To make money online free with Squidoo you first must understand some of its qualities. Squidoo ia a one page site that is easily monetized just by the way it is designed. Google has always been very fond of Squidoo and Squidoo works very hard to maintain its favor with Google. Since Squidoo got spanked from Google over a year ago a lot of marketers started to shy away from here. But for those that hung around they were optimizing the ability to make money online at home just from Squidoo.

The best way to make money from Squidoo is to make sure that you have fully optimized keyword rich modules. Squidoo now has no-followed the tags from Google so you keywords are determined by the content provided. The tags however still produce value to the inner workings of Squidoo so don’t avoid them all together. Squidoo members can help you with your rankings and backlinks within Squidoo itself. You are found by the tags you choose.

Squidoo runs its own Adsense ads and you are supposed to be making money from a percentage of the clicks. I have no idea how this is decided or what the percentage is. I know it isn’t much so I don’t even worry about it.

The way you make money on Squidoo is by either using their monetizing modules or by using your own methods of monetizing modules. For instance, there are a couple of modules, eBay and Amazon that you are supposed to be able to earn money from. How ever I did not use their modules for them.

If you have are a member of EPN or Amazon you can place you own affiliate sources gaining a greater amount of the money earned.

This is what the eBay affiliate looks like when inserted into Squidoo:

Baby Crib Bedding

The same pretty much goes for Amazon. Instead of only earning a portion of the money from Amazon by using Squidoo’s Amazon Module I earn my full commission. Here is another example:

Baby Crib

For some reason I cannot get the image to upload. But you get the idea. Of course the more of these individual ads that you run the more opportunity you will have to earn money.

As I have already stated Squidoo runs the Adsense Ads and you really don’t make money online from these ads, but now Clickbank has their own ads that you can make money online free with. These are called HopAd. Go to Clickbank and look for the HopAd Builder. Here you can build text ads or tabbed ads.

This is an example of text ads:

ClickBank HopAd

The ads at the bottom of this module are Clickbank HopAds with your affiliate id implated in the ads.

Squidoo stopped allow iframes quite a while but now there is a way to ad your opt-in forms into Squidoo. If you do email marketing the opt-in form is a huge benefit on Squidoo. I know I get a lot of traffic from search engines and inside Squidoo itself. To be able to capture these leads is a plus. Just offer a free upload or free information and you are good to go. Everyone likes free!

Here is an example of an email opt-in form:

Email Opt-In for Squidoo

If you are interested in finding out how to add an opt-in form on your lens go to the link. And if you want to find out how to add Clickbank HopAds go to the link. You will have to give up your email address to receive the manual for the Clickbank HopAd. Neither one of these methods cost any money. So far we are still making money online free through Squidoo.

Also with Squidoo there are a few things you need to know first before you get started. As Squidoo is a one page site, you will definitely want to be focusing on those longtail keywords. This will speed you along with your page rank in Google. The traffic may not be as high but you will be getting a more targeted traffic that are looking to buy. Also when thinking Squidoo think products. Services do OK but you will make money online faster if you use Squidoo for products.

If you are using Squidoo for link building not all modules have do follow links. The Do follow list includes these modules:

Introduction
Text/Write
Poll (remember you can hyperlink your answers!)
Featured Lenses
Text/Link Lists
Text/Link Plexos (although I don’t recommend that you use these because
it’s link leakage)

Squidoo has a wide range of possibilities when it comes to the ability to make money online Free. Along with the ability to make money with your Squidoo lens you can have unlimited lenses. I started out having a lot of lenses on one account which was a big mistake. You do have the opportunity to move lenses around to other accounts however. This option is built into Squidoo. I would not recommend having too many lenses on one account.

Oh I almost forgot another money maker with Squidoo. Lense flipping! With the ability to move lenses around you can also sell lenses. Lens Flipping is a lot like site flipping but way easier. All you need to do is change one lens to a different lens account. Squidoo lenses are selling for hundreds of dollars and they don’t even have to have high PR. You can build a well optimized lens (or2 or 10) today and sell them off tomorrow. You would be surprised at how easy this is and how much money is involved with this. This is a huge way to make fast money fast online and all for free.

Making money online free does have its drawbacks just like any other free methods of making money online. It requires more work and time. But if you network with the right people that know the power of helping each other out, than our efforts to make money online become a little easier.

After checking my stats for this blog on How to Make Money Online at Home after my last post I realized that I was on the first page of Google for the term “how to make money online at home” plus I was pretty close to having more terms recognized by Google for a few in the top listings for certain keywords. I just was not close enough to be getting any traffic yet. I guess How To Make Money Online at Home has no traffic, because no one has ever searched my site for those terms. And being on page one in Google I should have at least had a couple of hits.

Thats what is nice about having a longtail keyword for my blog name. I am getting ranked for a lot of different terms. That is why I chose “How to Make Money Online Free” for my blog title and URL for Today.com. I am hovering between page 3 and 4 on Google for the term “how to Make Money Online Free”. There is still not a lot of traffic for this term between 880-480 a month in searches, but this will give this site more keyword authority for the term I am focusing on.

In order to gain search engine rankings for my main term “How to Make Money” I need to get authority in the serps for many of the longtail terms in my blog title. How to make money free is just one of the many terms I am going after. I already know that not having my keywords in my domain name makes the road a little longer, but as someone always says, “This is a marathon not a sprint”. Like I said in my previous post I have until 2016 to reach that goal. Hopefully I will earn money from this blog long before then.

Now that I know that “how to make money online at home” has no searches it is time to attack other long tails until I see results in my stats. Yes I check my stats! Obviously not as often as I should or I would have known what was taking place with all my longtail keywords.

So now I have How to Make Money Online Free at Today.com to see if I can rank that site for this keyword thus passing juice to this site hopefully. Then if I don’t show any traffic for this longtail keyword then I will just keep building for other keyword combination’s until I whittle it down to keywords that bring in the traffic. Plus I have been able to test these keyword out without spending any money. I could figure this out quicker if I chose to spend money on Googles Adwords and run PPC campaigns, but I could also lose a lot of money before I found out there was little or no traffic for different search terms.

The beauty of using free blogging platforms for keyword research is if they do not pan out I can always change a few things in the blogs and use the site for other purposes. I figure I will win with my blogging efforts no matter what I do with them.

I will keep posting about what is happening with Today.com and see if I get into trouble over there or worse get banned. I have heard that they do monitor what is happening on there site and people do get there blogs banned, but I will never know until I try. I have had things banned from Hubpages before and Squidoo, so it would not be the first time I did something wrong. As long as I put up relevant content and follow their rules I should be good to go.

How to make money online free does require some trial and error. I figure I have done my share of errors in trying to make money online so maybe now I will be able to do a few things right. For the two people that read this blog please stop by my new blog at How to Make Money Online Free and say “HI!” or give me a long on topic post to help with my keyword authority. I can always use the content.
