One of the members on BBWO, my social network for Black Business Women, recently asked me the question, “How can I make money with no money?”
If she was looking to start a business, the answer to that question would be pretty hard, because it’s almost impossible to start a business without spending any money. But it is actually possible to make money online without starting a business. I’ve got, what I like to call my 3 AM System for making extra cash online. I call it my 3 AM System because it’s all about:
- Affiliate Marketing
Make Money Promoting Affiliate Products - Article Marketing
Make Money Writing Articles - Adsense Money
Making Money Generating Google Adsense Revenue
I mainly make money online doing the three things I love; web design, web coaching, and selling eBooks. If you know me, it’s easy to see that I’m a worker bee at heart, but even I like the idea of making easy money by tapping into passive income streams. Passive income is basically that nice and quiet income that you get every single month, for doing very little and sometimes for doing nothing at all. Though it does take time and skill to get passive income opportunities off the ground, they work effortlessly for you over time.
Here are a few examples of how I make extra money online.
- I get anywhere between $700 – $1200 in Google Adsense Revenue each month
- I get multiple affiliate checks every month ranging from $100 to $500
In the last few years I’ve learned how to bring in thousands of dollars of extra income from these little, non-technical projects that add up and balance out my existing income as a web designer, author, and coach.
Because my social network is SO BIG, I often get folks begging me to join MLM and Network Marketing opportunities but I don’t mainly because my 3 AM System allows me to generate income without having to spend money or buy into any business opportunity. Moreover, because I already have my main income streams, I view this stuff as extra income and everybody could use an extra couple of $100+ checks for whatever. Truth be told, you could really make thousands of dollars just doing one of these things, which really just requires picking one specific craft and perfecting it. Personally speaking, being a Jackie of many web trades, combining my smaller checks into nice bundles of extra money is perfect enough for me.
If you want to make money online the easy way, these are your options and you can easily learn more about them. Do Google searches on “Affiliate Marketing”, “Article Marketing” and “Google Adsense Revenue”. There is a ton of information online. Not all of it is great (which sucks) but you can definitely learn this stuff for free.
You also have the option of learning it from me. I enjoy teaching this stuff to others, which is why I created my private blog Easy Profit Projects (www.easyprofitprojects.com ). It’s a space online that’s strictly for ambitious beginners interested in making easy extra money online. The EPP blog is where:
- I tell you specifically what affiliate products I promote
For one of my affiliates I get $40 for every person that signs up to their offer
- I tell you how to make money writing online
I write for profit in so many ways and I’ll tell you the easiest ways to get started. I recently discovered a NEW WAY to make money writing online that I would love to share with you.
- I also tell you the different types of Profit Projects You can Tap Into
On EPP you can download and read my eBook, The easiest Way to Make Your First $1000 Online
Just so we are very clear on this, I can’t guarantee fast cash or big riches. I’m a work at home mom (work being the key word here – lol) who makes a nice living doing what I do and earning extra income on the side. I honestly don’t know if my 3 AM System will work for you, but I know it works for me and the other folks making good money online. SO… on EPP I’ll show you how I and many others make money by promoting other people’s stuff and sharing information.

Its great that you mentioned Affiliate marketing as a way to earn money online. One of the most widely used ways of promoting affiliate products is article marketing. For this you have to write high quality articles related to the product you are promoting. At the end of the article you can attach a link which will guide the reader to your website. Article marketing is effective if you write a specific number of articles per day. As the number of the articles will increase, the affiliate revenue will also increase.
Earning money online is possible and as you said a passive income is great. Once you done the work the money can just keep coming in.
One thing you must remember that you need to be passionate about what you do as it will reflect in the product you deliver and you won’t get the results you desire.

Again, I will say it over & over until the masses get it…U SIMPLY ROCK LaShanda, PERIOD!!!
