- Get paid to fill jobs. Commissions range from $50-$5,000. It all depends on
how tough the job is to fill and how desperate the hiring company is. This is
another one that's tough to explain.
-
Indeed.com
- Add their job board to your site. They then post jobs based on the
geographic location of visitors and the position types you pre-select. I tried
it and I they continually report that I sent 0 visitors and I know that's not
right. Nevertheless, I may have an isolated problem so they make the list.

it is similar to Review Me (which is on this list).
-
Rent-A-Coder:
As I type this, there are 2,299 requests on this site. These requests are
opportunities for coders to earn money. Take on a project, get it done and get
paid. I like this concept because Rent-A-Coders doesn't get paid a thing until
you do it, therefore it is in their best interest to keep you busy.

ultra-skilled, you can even customize the entire user experience by tapping

to your feed and website. You get paid per impression and if you implement
Google Adsense to your feed, you are paid per click.

ReviewMe
- In order to participate, you must have a blog and it has to be active.
Companies go to ReviewMe to advertise a product and ReviewMe asks their
members to write a review of the product in exchange for cash.
In regards to ethics, ReviewMe mandates that the blogger/site owner indicate
that they are being compensated to write the review AND the advertiser cannot
insist on a positive review. This is the opposite of other similar services
that don't mandate trustworthy behavior. Ultimately the goal is to spread the
word honestly.
You can expect to earn $20 - $200 per review that you write.
-
Revver
- You basically upload your video to Revver and they attach an ad to it. You
get 50% of what the ad makes. If any of you have been on YouTube or other
video sites, you can easily understand that some videos, even bad ones at
times, go viral and thousands of people see it, and your ad!

beauty of the business. Instead of putting ads on your site, you insert polls.

positioning on your site, the better you will do. The nice part of this is
that everything is embedded into your site allowing visitors to participate
without leaving.
