Get Paid To Review, Write Or Chat
Making new friends and earning money are not always mutually exclusive aims. friendsandmoney.co.uk is a means of finding sites that enable you to chat or interact with other online users, express your opinions and make friends whilst earning money from your contributions. Sites listed are available to UK, US and all countries across the globe.
Many of the sites listed below adopt a revenue sharing approach. This means that you get paid just simply for contributing to a site by adding a blog post, uploading video’s or photographs or commenting on other members discussion threads. Revenue Sharing works on the principle that the website earns advertising revenue for placing relevant adverts alongside the content you create on their site. In return they share this revenue you with you and this is usually a standard amount of 50% although some sites offer you up to 100%. This means that if your content generates £5 in advertising revenue a day then you get at least half. What is especially great is that your content will continue to generate revenue for the time that it remains on the site however many years that is.
Many sites also allow you to use content that you have posted elsewhere so you don’t even have to create new content! We use 20-30 such sites and create one post which we then roll out to all sites, which generates a healthy income. To find out more read our indepth tutorial about How to make money with revenue sharing sites, how they work and approximately how much you can expect to earn each month. Many of these sites require you to set up a Google Adsense Account and they then request your publisher ID. This is much safer than handing your personal bank details or Pay Pal address to lots of different sites and because your money is paid into Google Adsense from multiple sites you can quickly receive the minimum balance to withdraw your cash. This is much better than waiting to reach minimum threshold payments on 20-30 different sites.
| Rate It All |
|
This is the ideal site for those who love to share their opinions, views and thoughts with the global community and get paid in the process. The idea is simple, members create short bullet point lists based around a given topic and other members share their opinions on your list and what they think of it. In return you earn 50% of the revenue from relevant advertising that is displayed against your list. For example you might want to encourage others to express their views on the topic of “Comedy Movies”. You simply create a list of your favourite comedy movies, perhaps your top ten, and then post your list. Other members will then rate the movies in order of their favourite and express their opinions about the movies you have chosen or even add their own! Over time you get some great feedback on what people think of your taste in comedy movies and each time they view your list you potentially earn from the advertising revenue displayed against it. What we especially like about Rate It All is that the concept is simple and it takes very little time to create lists and start generating revenue. You can choose any topic that appeals to and start creating lists and get others sharing their opinions about what you have to say. We think this is one of the most original revenue sharing sites of its kind online. It really is very fun and addictive and you can start generating a steady second income from home very quickly. This site is suitable for adults or teenagers.
