There are several ways you can make money online but I find that writing is what suits me. What I love about the sites that I write for is they are gaining residual income. Meaning that long after I stop writing on these sites I will still be making money. So the time you put into these sites will keep paying you back long after you 'retire' from your online work. Here is a list of some great sites to start and make money online with. Some of these sites I write for while others I have reviewed and recommend them to anyone. Enjoy!

Helium.com, Inc. is a website where active writers are paid for contributing articles, and visitors can read these articles for free. User generated content in a given title is rated up or down by other writers in a form of peer review system. As with social news sites like Digg or Reddit, user ratings determine the rank of an article. In this case, however, the ones who rate are the writers, and multiple answers/articles exist and compete in most topics. In turn, high-rated articles receive more page views and earn more money for writers.
