Lately Social Networking is all the rage. By this point in time, just about everybody has heard of MySpace and FaceBook. But what many people don’t realize is that when they write a blog post, leave a comment, upload a picture, or participate in a group, they are creating free content for that social networking site … and NOT getting compensated for it.

Fortunately, in that past year or so, more and more social networks are popping up that have a revenue sharing business model. Basically, they pay the users a portion of the income they generate through advertising. It’s usually based on how much you participate, how much content you generate, and even how many additional people you refer to the site. If you like to use social network sites, it can actually be a relatively easy way to make some extra money

Here are a few social sites that I am aware of who compensate their membership:

• Yuwie.com
• Zubby.com
• Wowzza.com
• Metacafe.com
• Flixya.com
• Friendswin.com
• Capazoo.com
• myviewin.com

This is just the tip of the iceberg. I predict that over the next couple of months, more and more of these sights will find ways for their members to earn extra income by sharing in the profits.

Do you know what one of the most given pieces of advise is when people ask about good ways to make extra money?

Find something that you love.

Well, with the explosion of televised poker on ESPN over the past couple of years there are an awful lot of people out there who Love Poker.

… and there are also quite a few people who are earning extra income as a direct result of that widespread love.

First thing’s first. If you’re already a good poker player, and you have a decent bankroll to start with, it’s quite possible to earn 10s of thousands of dollars a year playing online poker. Even with the “ban” passed by congress several years ago which makes it harder to transfer money in and out of *some* US banks, there are still many sites that accept US players. My favorites are Pokerstars.com and Ultimatebet.com

A word of caution here. If you’re not yet a “good” player, and/or you don’t have a bankroll capable of standing the occasional streak of cold cards, then playing poker if probably Not a good way to earn extra income.

But, that doesn’t mean you can’t still have fun doing it.

… and it doesn’t mean you can’t still make money capitalizing on the poker craze.

You see, almost all of the online poker sites offer very lucrative referral programs. They’ll pay you to send them new players! This opens up a world of possibilities for somebody with a high traffic website … or somebody who knows how to build a good targeted niche site or blog.

In short, Poker, and by extension Poker players offer numerous ways for you to Make Extra Money.

… your imagination is your only limiting factor.
