    Hi Affiliate Marketers,

    I have been searching like crazy and I think my brain is going to explode, so I thought maybe I would put this out there and see if anyone has any ideas that they know of.

    I am looking for a unique way to make money online - preferably without spending a lot of money or having resources like an email list or bunch of websites.


    I'm not looking for something like article marketing or answering questions on Yahoo Answers, but more unique ways that aren't so common which could include something like buying a link under a popular YouTube video to drive affiliate traffic. Just...something different.

    Thanks in advance,
    Julie O.

    Why don't you create a VoIP site (by using all available free voip resources). Right now VoIP has a good demand. I recommend you to get a good domain name (like a keyword in it) so that you can create your own brand. If you need any assistance or information, let me know.

    You and everyone else.

    It takes time and hard work and probably alot of money for marketing etc.

    You do need to think about how much money you want to make. What is enough in India might not be enough in California.
    I presume you are old enough to enter into legal contracts? That makes a big difference too.

    Depending on your set of skills/niche, you could become a virtual assistant and find clients on here and other relevant forums.

    Are you the DP sourpuss or something? You obviously don't know anyting about the VA industry to take shots at anyone. There are VAs who act as online concierges to clients and get paid nicely for it. All it requires is booking/reserving hotel accommodations, flights, concert/sporting events, dinner reservations...easy tasks that you can get paid for. It may not be entirely unique, but I put it out there because I DO IT and to me its unique. So, excuse me for suggesting so broadly...

    Not a sourpuss at all but if this user has been "searching like crazy" and has a brain that is set to "explode" then the user will have seen all the VA threads in BST here and on how many other forums.

    As for the value of a VA - I think its an awesome idea and a great service for those who need it - especially if you need round the clock support and only want to pay "day rates".

    I suspect our user might be looking for something less time intensive than actually providing a service for an hourly rate, but as s/he has only 1 post we'll have to wait for feedback.

    In my opinion, there's really no unique lazy man way to make money online. You have to take action and time which costs money.

    Be realistic if you want to make money.

    Thanks for the replies everyone. The reason I am looking for unique....

    I had a really nice income going until Gov Brown flipped the switch on me. It came at just the right time, so I thought. About 90% of my sites were up for renewal and I let them all expire. He of course (several months later) reversed his decision on the CA tax laws thing. I just didn't have it in me to start all over again.

    The reason I am looking for something different or unique is because I find that I am easily motivated when I feel like I have a 'new beginning' sorta speak. It's like when spring comes, everything is fresh and new and I feel excited about it. Or when I wake up in the morning to a new day with new possibilities.

    It's just my way of utilizing the way my brain works and motivating myself again.

    unique you say?

    Here is one:
    Hang a poster with twenty small papers with an URL written on it. the poster should say: "Want a free iPad? Go to this website, submit and qualify yourself!" (Or something like that). The website URL is a CPA offer.

    You said unique, not great idea ;)
