Do Stuff (Or Have Stuff Done) for $5!
.
This is a simple, sort of silly, but totally fun, site based on a pretty simple idea. People list stuff they will do, or stuff they will create for $5, and other people look through and purchase these '$5 gigs'. (The person listing actually only gets about $4, with $1 going to the site.) There are some rules on what can and cannot be done and/or sold, and a couple of other monetary rules, but overall it couldn't be more simple. Just figure out what you'd do for roughly $4 and list it on Fiverr. If someone takes you up on it, you make money. And if lots and lots of people are interested, you make...well, you do the math.

Blogging & Writing About What You Know & Love!
.
This is a large online community filled with people writing about things they know and love. Writers on the site are called 'hubbers' and the articles they write are called 'hubs.' The revenue model for the site, and for anyone who joins, is to share advertising revenue that appears on the members' 'hubs.' Adverts on the 'hubs' are split between the HubPages accounts and the hubber's accounts. Revenue split details and info on how to get set up are simple.
.
This is another community site based on the idea of bringing people together to write about what they know. Articles written by members are called "lenses," and members are referred to as "lensmasters." Lenses are basically like flyers or overviews on topics of interest. Lenses can be written about anything. The key is to have fun with your writings. Revenue is made by ads being displayed on the lenses. Overall, the set up is user friendly and easy.
.
This is a free online community where members create the content by writing articles, commenting on articles and sharing ideas. Articles can be written about anything. They can be movie reviews, book summaries, how-to guides, etc. Aside from articles, members also create 'bookmarks', which is really just the term for how info within the site is shared among other members. Bookmarks can include articles, links, blogs, video and more. As is typical of these sites, Google Adsense is used to monetize the articles and bookmarks created by members. Revenue is split between the site and its members by rotating Google Adsense advert units between the site's and members' accounts. If you like to write, and you're looking for a creative outlet that could generate extra cash for you, Xomba is worth a look.

Providing Product Reviews and/or Site Summaries!
.
This is a site where anyone and everyone is invited to write a review on products, companies, hotels, politics, cities, stores, sites (etc.) In fact, they say 'Everything can be reviewed and every review can be paid'. For obvious reasons, there are a number of restrictions on what can be included in reviews, and how reviews are to be written. The current review rate is listed on the site homepage, although there are some other factors that come into play in regard to payments.
.
This is another site focused on providing summaries and reviews on just about everything. Members write summaries or reviews on books, articles, newspapers, academic papers and/or websites - at least 900 words in length. Shvoong pays 10% of its avertising revenue to the writers on the site, so the key is to build up a large number of well written reviews that draw a large number of views. While it takes time to start making money on the site, Shvoong offers lifetime royalties on the articles. Aside from the revenue that can be earned, Shvoong points out that members also enjoy mass publishing of their work, recognition, promotion and free web traffic.

Submit News Via Your Videos & Images!
.
This is a large site built around the premise that news is constantly happening on both local and global levels. People are encouraged to submit info on any news events, so it can be shared. AllVoices takes the submissions, organizes them by category, and combines them with related (relevant) news, videos and images. Their Syndication program allows contributors to earn 'exposure', as well as revenue by licensing submitted images and/or videos. AllVoices uses its connections with its media partners to shop the submission around for buyers. They negotiate the pricing and split it with the contributor(s). This type of opportunity looks ideal for regular travelers, travel journalists or anyone who happens to capture an instantaneous news event via photo and/or video.

This one's different from the other sites on this page, in that it is one of the few sites we have listed that has a cost associated with it. While an account can be set up for free, their 'music distribution' service does cost. Basically, they help musicians get their music listed on music distribution sites. They say "Get your own songs, albums, demos and more on iTunes, AmazonMP3, MySpace Music, eMusic, Napster, Rhapsody and more. Get 100% of the royalties and keep all your rights. Upload your music now." The cost for music distribution seems small, and for someone who has original music, it seems like it could be worth it. The internet has opened up new markets and new ways for people to market themselves. Again, no guarantees, but for musicians, it seems like it would be worth some investigation. If interested, click the link above to sign up for a free tuneCore account and then pay only $9.99 for music distribution.
