So the title of this short article is 4 more profitable ways to earn extra money from home. You may be asking yourself. How many ways are there? Honestly, I do not know. But I've made it my job to find as many as I can. They all will be legitimate ways to make money online. So let's jump right in.

Online Surveys – Online surveys are excellent methods to earn extra money from home. I personally still do them to this day. There are a couple of types of online surveys that you can be a part of. One type of survey is pretty simple. You actually answer a series of questions in an online web form. Upon completion of the survey you're typically paid via PayPal. So make sure you have your account setup. The surveys can have anywhere from 10 to 30 questions and do not take to much time to complete. The other type of survey that is becoming increasingly popular is the video diary. This one is actually pretty fun. However, it can also be pretty intense at the same time. Usually the market research company will ship you a pocket video recorder. You're given a list of questions and tasks that are to be completed each day of the survey. As with the first type of survey, you're typically paid via PayPal. A good place to sign up and get started is Schlesinger Associates.

Online Auctions – Online auctions used to be for the consumer looking to get a good deal on a desk or that next PS3 game. Now it's a whole new ball game now. While you obviously can still purchase just about anything you can imagine, you also can sell just about anything you can imagine. The best place that I'd suggest is of course eBay. You can legally create a seller account with no money. Many people, including myself, started by selling unwanted items from around the house. Later as friends found out that I was officially an eBay junky, I began to sell items for friends and family. I also occasionally pick up small lots of items from different places and sell them online. eBay is definitely a good way to earn extra money from home.

Online Tutor – OK this is really a good one also. With technology being what it is today, you can literally tutor around the world. Ok, I hear you. You're not a teacher. But of course you are. If you stop and think about what you do and what you're good at, you'll find something. I'm sure someone has told you how good your cookies are, or how well you play guitar in your basement. Share the knowledge with the world. It's free to set up a YouTube channel. You can tutor from the privacy of your own home and to earn extra money from home.

Article Writing – Article writing to me has to be the greatest thing since sliced ??bread. There are many was to earn extra money from home by writing articles. But for the purposes of this article, we will focus on how to make money online by writing articles that will be published stand alone articles. Now, I do not think a stand alone article is an official term. But what I mean is that the article will be written and published on its own merits to create an income stream from the site it is published on. Wow … I feel like I said a lot. OK here we go. I'm going to make this as simple as possible. 🙂

I'm going to mention 3 websites that for the most part function the same. They are suite101.com, helium.com and ehow.com. Each site is what is called an article directory. All they do is publish articles to the site. That's it. So if you want to read on how to remove tics from your dog, either site can help you. There is an article on just about anything you can imagine within the coffers of these directories. Now, where do they get the article they publish? They get them from you and me. So how do you get paid? Read on.

Because the article directories have so much monthly traffic, they have sponsors that are willing to pay for advertising space on the site. The sites themselves also have what's called contextual ads (ie Google AdWords or kontera). The point being is this; These article directories generate a lot of advertising revenue.

Here's the good part. They will share the ad revenue with you. All you have to do is write a good article that gets read and generates revenue to the site. Simple huh? Yes and no. Writing good articles takes time and technique. However, with practice you can do it. So visit the sites, sign up (its free) and start writing. You will truly enjoy this way to earn extra money from home.
