When it comes to making money with the Internet, many people remain unconvinced that it's even possible. Not only is it possible, it's also simple to get started (like, today) and depending on the effort you put in, capable of bringing in anywhere from $100 to $500+ a month.

Here I outline three of my favorite programs - free, effective, easy ways to make money online!

ContentCurrent.com

If you love to write, blog, or post on forums and other communities, ContentCurrent is your moneymaker. This website will pay you to do all these things and then some - definitely a great opportunity for those who are active online anyway. There's a handful of similar websites out there that pay authors for articles and other intellectual property, so be sure to shop around for the highest commissions.

ShareCash.info

ShareCash is another easy way to make money online, especially for those of you who are more tech-savvy. All you do is upload files (any files) onto their server, and every time someone downloads it you get paid. This is where technical know-how comes in handy: you can promote your downloads on things like Limewire and bit torrent - and watch the earnings pile up.

PPC Networks

And for everyone else there's PPC - that's "Pay Per Click," for those of you not in the know. If you've ever seen an advertisement on a website that says "Ads by Google" then you know what I'm talking about. In a nutshell, you put sponsored links on your website or blog and get paid every time someone clicks on one. PPC ads are easy to use, and if you don't have a blog you can make a webpage for free at Squidoo.com or Hubpages.com and put them on that. Google is just one of the many networks that provide PPC ads.

These three easy ways to make money online are more than you'll need to get your feet wet. In addition to being proven moneymakers, they all have excellent potential for residual income, PPC ads in particular (for more detailed information on this, check out the article "the Click Pay Per Program") Get started developing your online income today, and you'll be quitting your day job before you know it!
