There are lots of ways that you can make money online. However, it is true that a lot of the money-making techniques that people are teaching actually require some kind of upfront investment to get the to work.

Fortunately, there are also ways to make money online for free. Here are just a few of them.

1. Offer Your Services

This is probably one of the quickest and easiest ways to make money online and that is by offering your services to other people online.

If you have a certain skill, or if you can perform a certain task well, then you are likely to find people who are willing to give you money in return for your services. Services that you can offer include writing, designing web pages, programming etc.

One way to offer your services is to go to sites like elance.com or scriptlance.com where people post projects that they want completed.

Alternatively, you can visit related forums and just tell people what you can do for them to help them out with projects. A great way to build up a portfolio and a reputation is to offer to do one or two projects for people at a discount, or even for free, just to get some testimonials.

2. Be an Affiliate and Set-Up a Free Money-Making Blog

You can find many places online where you can register to be an affiliate and promote products in return for a share of the profits. Clickbank is possibly the most familiar site for affiliate marketers. Here you can sign up to promote a few products and then create a few blogs to drive traffic to your affiliate links.

You can get free blogs at places like Blogger.com and Wordpress.com. Don't forget to "Digg" your blogs after you post to them. By setting up a few free blogs a week, you can start generating some nice affiliate commissions.

3. Use Social Networking Sites To Drive Traffic

Sites like MySpace, Facebook, Squidoo and HubPages are great places to post content and make money with affiliate promotions. As an active member you can create multiple pages with content related to the products you are promoting. In return you can drive a significant amount of targeted traffic to the different offers you promote.

Article marketing is also a great way to "share" your content with the world.

4. Create Your Own Product

One of the most profitable ways to make money online is to create and sell your own products. You can use the same strategies outlined above to promote your product through blogs, forums and social networking sites.

Obviously it may pay you to spend a little money to get a professional sales page written, but you can always create it yourself for free and reinvest any profits later on.

One of the easiest ways to create a product is to interview an expert in your particular field of interest and sell the recording as an audio course. This also gives you instant credibility as you become associated with these experts.

So there you have four free ways to make money online. You can commit to any or all of these free ways and begin bringing in money within a few days to a couple weeks.

The main ingredient in all of these "recipes" to make money is ACTION. You wont make any money unless you go out and try something.
