Connect Employees with Companies

You can be a job recruiter for friends, family and even co-workers. There are websites such as ReferEarns (www.referearns.com), Zyoin (www.zyoin.com), Bohire (www.bohire.com) and WiseStepp (www.wisestepp.com) that lists companies looking for employees. When you connect an employer with an employee who gets hired, you can earn anywhere from $50 up to several thousand dollars for making the connection. If you know a lot of people looking for new employment, which is quite possible when the unemployment rate is high, this is a great way to get your feet wet in the recruiting business before you turn it into a full-time gig.
Become an Affiliate Marketer
-
You also can make money by selling other people's products and services, but not have to worry about keeping an inventory of goods. This is a great way to monetize a blog or website that you already own or you can start a new blog or website by becoming an affiliate marketer. All that affiliate marketing requires is that you place text or banner ads or links to the products or services of other companies. Websites such as Commission Junction (www.commissionjunction.com) and LinkShare (www.linkshare.com) connect affiliate marketers with companies that will pay you a commission to sell their products and services.

Create a Niche
-
If you have a love for a topic or even topics, you can create a hub for each topic and share information until your heart's content. Sites such as Squidoo (www.squidoo.com) and HubPages (www.hubpages.com) allow you to set up hubs for free. Then you can earn revenue based on the amount of traffic that comes to your hub. You're also paid affiliate fees by companies that receive referral business from advertisements they have on your hub.
Turn a Hobby into a Business
-
Take stock of your interests and hobbies and see if any of them could make some money. Almost any hobby can be turned into a business venture. In fact, this is how many businesses get started. Whether you enjoy woodcrafting or making handmade cards, see if there is a market to sell your products to. You can attend local fairs, build a website to sell your goods online or sell to friends, family and co-workers.
Become a Consultant
-
Use your past work experience to open your own consulting business. You may even be able to consult for former employers. Consulting services run the spectrum so whether your industry is law, airplanes, marketing or something else, there is usually a way you can become a consultant and offer industry advice to companies that fit your niche.
