Making money online used to nearly always require your own products to sell, your own website and some internet marketing knowledge. Times are changing and for the better. Many of the new dot coms offer real ways to make money without the traditional expenses to use their site or program. It is also not necessary that you have any special skill or education.

The challenge is in determining which opportunity is real and which one is fake. I happen to be a research addict, if I’m curious about something I will spend tons of time online researching and finding answers. My friends think that I am a freak about this character flaw but guess who they call when they need answers about something…me.

Doing my research on this subject a common theme began to appear, just about everything out there has some kind of affiliate program attached to it. This is not bad in and of itself, but it does present a challenge in sifting through the hype from the facts. Affiliate programs themselves offer one of the very best free ways to make money online, you just need to choose carefully which one to hitch your wagon to.

I am a list guy, so I made a list of the criteria that was important to me in a potential opportunity. It has to pay cash and not points or some odd rewards, it has to have a reasonable expectation to earn a good residual income that will grow over time and it must not require me to have my own products or my own website. Last but not least, it has to be free to join. It’s fine if there is an upgrade option that costs money as long as there is a 100% free level that meets my criteria.

I narrowed down the options through careful examination of the opportunities and the pros and cons of each of them. What I found was perfect for what I am looking for, your criteria might be different from mine and therefore what I like might not be what you like. The purpose of this article is not to tell you what I chose, but to demonstrate a methodology for you to follow in choosing your own priorities and doing your own research.

There are countless “opportunities” online, the one for you is out there somewhere and you can find it with a little work. The economy today is creating more and more home based business’s with so many people losing jobs or having their hours cut and that trend is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Make a list of your priorities and start searching.
