Round 2: 3 ideas to quickly make money online

Time for a second round on quick ways to make money online. Today the lucky ones are photographers/designers and technical writers, you will see why:

Sells prints online with Wallhogs

I knew this one very recently thanks to Matt Coddington from NetBusinessBlog.com. From Matt’s post:

Wallhogs is a website that creates and ships customized or premanufactured posters in vinyl, glossy posters, or canvas print.

So Wallhogs sells pre-made prints, but you can also upload your designs to get customized posters. Now, by reading Matt’s post I was caught by the nice service Wallhogs offer, but in the comments appeared something even more interesting:

We are getting more images in the catalogue and, if any photographers read this, you can partner with us and sell your art in our catalogue - you get 20%.

I replied that I found that percentage a little low but I didn’t get an answer. Anyway, I suppose it’s logical given that their prices are not so high, and you will get 20% of every sell made thanks to your design ;)

Write an article for IT Managers Journal

In Make money by telling your boss what you think of him I wrote about how IT Managers Journal wants to pay you for telling to the whole world what do you think about your boss. Well, that’s not the only thing that the IT Managers Journal does. They also want to pay you between $100 and $400 for “well-written news articles, IT business-related case studies, features, and news/trend articles”. Of course payment depends on the quality of the article and their own needs, but don’t do it just for those extra bucks, instead consider that IT Managers Journal is part of the OSTG, the same network that owns Slashdot.org, so an article in that magazine will also brings you some good points in your reputation level ;)

Review software for SoftwareJudge.com

SoftwareJudge.com is a nice website where software companies/developers list their software expecting to be judged by some interested user. The good part is that SoftwareJudge.com wants to pay reviewers for their work as stated in their website:

If you have strong opinions about software, whether positive or negative, and want to get paid for your reviews, you are in the right place. We pay up to 50 dollars for tell-it-like-it-is, no marketing BS, straight talking software reviews.

The rules to be qualified are pretty simple and they can be summarized in the following points:

  • Your reviews must be completely original.
  • Don’t submit more than 3 reviews per day, in fact, you will do better if you just submit 1 review and then watch if it qualifies.
  • You will be paid only when you have at least $200 in your account. If you have more than $20 you can ask them to buy some software, game or ebook for you. They buy just downloadble items though.
  • Review software that you have used (this is obvious)

I have to warn you that the software you can find in SoftwareJudge.com is not always popular, so maybe you will have some difficulty finding one that you already knew, but I must say for their favor that they have software from a lot of categories, covering from “Audio & MP3″ to “Web Authoring” software, passing by “Software Development”, “Games” and “Internet” among many others.

    You’ve hit the nail on the head. We price the items to sell and we think that 20% is a fair price. If you believe that your work is worth more, by all means, mark it up and include it in our catalog at a higher price. If you would like more information please feel free to contact me directly and I would be happy to review your work for our online catalog. Thanks for the write up.
