Hubpages

Google adsense

You can get paid about .30 cents to $5.00 a click, however you don't get to choose the ads, Google chooses the best match based on content relevant based on your article. Some people get .01 cents and other $50.00 a click, so it can vary.

Don't rely on this as your main source of income if you do not get thousand of views per day. Some things you can do to promote your page is to do the 30 day 30 hub challenge.

Or if you're really thirsting for a lot of traffic, you could try the 30 day 100 hub challenge. Crazy, I know, but the guy who created the challenge eventually ended up making some money at the end of the challenge and this made him change his view on Hubpages.

This is the forum if you want to be more familiar with the subject.

Amazon

Another affiliate of hubpages- make a few extra bucks here and there. You are almost instantly accepted when you apply for Amazon. Amazon ads you select to place on the pages. They actually share raw clicks, you have to set up your account with each of the advertisers just like when running your own site, hubpages provides forms that make things a little easier.

You can go to myAccount/Affiliate Settings to request and enter the account codes you will get back in emails.

Kontera

Another profitable option. Alas, you need to make $50+ a month to apply for this section.

Ebay

Like Amazon in the way that it advertises products. You need your own domain to apply though.

Youtube

The lowest amount of subs for a youtube partner (from what I have seen) is about 3000, so I'm supposing the minimum amount of subs that is required to apply and get accepted as a youtube partner is around a couple of thousand. But if your videos are really good and youtube contacts you for partnership, then it could be much less.

The main payment method is paypal, bubt when you fill out your application form you can state if you want alternative payment methods. Youtube partners generally get $2.50 per 1000 views. Though this can ultimately vary on how many people click on ads.

So...ultimately the question is; how to become a youtube star?

-Are you Funny?

-Are you good at an instrument?

-Can you sing?

Xomba

Like Hubpages, you can definitely make money if you are willing to put effort into writing. Xomba will pay through paypal, or directly to your checking account. They also have a program that monitors how many times you've been visited on your pages, how much each visit was worth and what your 50% is.

Squidoo

Squidoo is a website designed to make it easy for anyone, for free, to set up a single page on a topic he or she knows or cares a lot about. Advertising revenue is shared with these content creators, and some of it is given to charity.

There are 2 main options for you to make money on Squidoo:

1. Use the built-in money maker modules, such as Amazon or eBay. Focus your lens on a single topic, and include products that are directly relevant. You will automatically get 50% of all revenue that Squidoo collect from your lens.

2. Become a member of an affiliate site, such as CommissionJunction or ClickBank, and write a lens about one of their products. Then include affiliate links that earn you money, which you get to keep all of.

For either of these to work, you need to plenty backlinks and traffic. You should also join relevant groups, and pick good tags. If you have multiple lenses on the same subject, link them together with Lensroll or Featured lenses module.
