The easiest way to do that is to learn to sell on eBay.  Auctions with photos do better than those without, so get a camera and get some well lit shots of your stuff to use in your listings.

Visit clickbank.com, choose a product to promote from the marketplace there.  Copy and paste your hoplink code to your computer in a text file or something similar, so you don’t lose it.

Join USFreeAds.com and write up a small advertisement for your product.  Use copy from the product’s own sales page.  Make a copy of the ad and save to your computer as well.  Post the same ad on Craigslist and other free classified ad boards.  Repeat your postings as often as the ad boards’ terms of service will allow.

Pick a topic that you could talk about forever.  You know, the thing you keep blabbing on and on about that your spouse doesn’t want to hear any more of.  Your hobby, your favorite vacation spot or activity.  Got a thing for ’38 Oldsmobiles?  Great.  Pick a topic and start writing all about it on your new blog.

Blogs can be monetized in dozens of ways but the most hands-off manner is to put some advertising on your site.  Google’s AdSense, Azoogle and Casale Media are but a few of them.

Other ways to ad value to your site is by offering merchandise.  Cafepress and Printfection will create merchandise from your designs and sell them for a profit.

One method that most non-bloggers are unaware of is the ‘sponsored post.’  This is when a company offers you money to write about their product or service.  There are enough companies offering this type of ‘writing for hire’ to ensure that you don’t have to take on any company or service you would feel uncomfortable reviewing.  The surprising thing is that the pay can get quite high for one posting, upwards of $200.  Your blog has to already be credible with a decent readership to attract that kind of money, but the money is out there.

There are, of course, the old fashioned, tried and true ways of generating income – affiliate marketing, list building and e-book selling.

You must pick the money maker that is right for you and promote your way to wealth.

Writing articles: Articles are the back bone of the internet.  They are used as stand alone articles in directories for traffic generation and link building as well as content for websites, ebooks and almost everything you see or hear on the internet.

Writing ebooks: E-books are electronically delivered books, usually in pdf format that can be sell for upwards of $999 if the information is extremely specific and valuable.  Although most sell for between $7 and $97 with $47 being the center of that particular bell curve.  You can also use ebooks as a free giveaway to build a list you can email to over and over again.

Creating websites: Again, this is more about writing the content (articles!) for the website than the actual coding.  Although if you are good at coding, you should do fine (pitch your services at elance.com, guru.com and other job sites).  Using readily available free templates, you can create the content for a five to ten page website in about one day.  With a good domain name and topic that has a large enough audience, you can sell these to the highest bidder at sitepoint.com or hold onto them to make money for yourself.

If your site gets enough visitors a well place block of ads from Google’s AdWords program could generate up to a few thousand dollars per month if your topic gets enough traffic and the cost per click for the ads is high enough.

Affiliate marketing: Join a site like clickbank.com, pick a product and start promoting it.  You can create your one mini site or use any of the free blogging sites to promote your product.  Then, write and submit articles to promote your site.

I told you there was a lot of writing to be done.  But here’s one that’s not based on writing.

Photography: Take all the photos you want and submit them to sites like iStockphoto.com or iClipart.com.  You’ll get paid per download.  It’s not a lot of money per download but if you build a portfolio of hundreds or thousands of popular photographs, your monthly intake could get quite large.

There are the usual ‘get paid to’ programs, like taking surveys and reading emails, but even if they paid really well, most people tire of them quite quickly.  Feel free to give them a shot but after two or three surveys (ten to thirty minutes spent clicking on check boxes), you’ll see that your hourly rate will be dismal.

Want to discover how to make money quick if you have a presence on the internet? Join an internet marketing giveaway.

A good way to profit from giveaways is to sign up as a free member and download all the free gifts. Just one of these sites will usually hand you just about everything that you require to make money on the internet. You can usually download ebooks and software that you can resell, along with the website template to sell them from, and lots of tips on bringing traffic to your new site.

But there are better ways of making money from a giveaway. You will do much better if you have a product to offer yourself, and build yourself a list of internet marketers who will buy from you.

Rosie Cottis has been making money from internet marketing giveaways for several years. These are her top 8 tips for how to profit from them.

1. Upload a valuable gift – something that people will actually want.

2. Be sure that your gift is uploaded and test your own opt in form before the doors open. Most contributors will start promoting in the first few hours.

3. Have something to offer as an upsell that people will see right away when they have signed up for your gift. For example you can show this offer on the download page for the free gift. I find that a low priced upsell works best ($5 to $15).

4. Send your new subscribers the link to the download/upsell page by email, even if your autoresponder already sent them there. Then they have another opportunity to buy your paid product.

5. Continue sending further emails via your autoresponder, giving them either additional information or more free gifts.

6. After that, you can begin promoting your main products (or affiliate products). Of course, you want the free gift to bring you people who will be interested in your later promotions, so choose your free gift carefully.

7. Always promote the internet giveaway. If you do not have a list of your own, use free advertising methods e.g. safelists. Do something every day. This will add to your points so your gift is shown higher on the list where more people will see it.

8. If you are offered an upgrade for contributors where you can get your gift a higher ranking, I recommend you take it. It pays.

Finally, keep watching the site statistics. Is your free gift getting as many signups as others on the same page? How well is your upsell converting? Are your subscribers unsubscribing right away, and if so, why? There are so many things that you can test to increase your sales now that you see how to make money fast from internet marketing giveaways.
