You can make money in the digital age. In fact, there are plenty of ways to earn cash online and offline. Some of these opportunities require skills, others don't. There are even ways to get paid just for watching videos on YouTube! Here are ten ways that you can make money online with ease:

1. YouTube Comments

You can make money on YouTube in a lot of ways, but if you're looking for something that's easy and fun, then YouTube comments are the way to go.

You might be wondering how this makes sense. After all, aren't YouTube commenters just trolls who have nothing better to do than write mean things online? Well, yes and no. Some people do just post hurtful things without thinking about it much - but others take their job as commenters very seriously and try to provide useful feedback or give constructive criticism where needed.

Whether it's an aspiring musician uploading an original song or someone giving advice on how to handle a difficult situation at work, there's always going to be room for improvement somewhere along the line (and often when someone posts something new). This means that every day there are thousands upon thousands of videos being uploaded onto YouTube which could really use someone who knows what they're doing reviewing them before they go live!

2. Paid Reviews

After you have a few thousand views on your YouTube videos, it's time to start making money with paid reviews. Paid reviews are a great way to earn quick cash and get paid to do something that you love.

You can make money reviewing products or services across several platforms including Amazon, Yelp, Google Local Services and many more!

Here's how it works: you sign up for an account with the site that pays reviewers like Amazon or Yelp then complete tasks given by them (e.g., write a review of a product or service). The site will pay you through PayPal once they approve your work.

The amount of money varies depending on which platform you choose but if you have multiple accounts then the potential earnings are higher compared to posting comments or videos only so this could potentially be one of the best ways for new Youtubers who need some extra income quickly when starting out their channel because it takes little effort from them except putting together an honest review about whatever product/service they received from these websites too

3. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is the most popular way to make money online. It involves earning commissions by promoting a product or service and getting others to buy it through your affiliate link (the link that you get from the company). The more people you get to click on your links, the more money you make! These days, there are so many different types of affiliate programs out there that it can be hard to choose which ones to join. But fear not: I've got some tips for how to find good ones, plus my favorite recommendations for where you should start!

Pros:

  • It's easy - just sign up with one of the many available affiliate networks, decide what niche interests you most, find products in that niche and create content around them (like blog posts), then drive traffic back towards those products' landing pages using SEO techniques explained later on in this article series!

Cons:

  • You're not going to be able to quit your job right away - but hopefully soon after!

4. Referral Programs

You can make even more money with YouTube by joining a referral program.

A referral program is when you get paid for sharing your affiliate links with others, who then use those links to buy products or services. For example, if you have an Amazon Associates account and have linked it to your YouTube channel, every time someone clicks through one of your links and makes a purchase on Amazon (or at any other site), you receive commission from that sale. This gives you another way to make money with YouTube videos - but only if they're related to the product or service being purchased through your link.

On top of that, there are general referral programs that pay out regardless of which site someone purchases from after viewing an ad or clicking on an affiliate link in one of your videos."

5. Out-of-Home Advertising

Out-of-home advertising is a form of direct marketing that relies on posters, billboards or other forms of public display to communicate a message.

Typically, out-of-home advertising encompasses billboards and their digital equivalents (such as bus shelters and mobile ads), which are called static displays; transit systems such as trains, bus stops and taxi cabs; and even the sides of trucks!

Outdoor advertising is an effective way to reach consumers who may otherwise be unreachable through traditional media like TV or radio. It's also cost efficient because you can get your message in front of millions of people at once - with just one poster up in the right place!

6. Sell Your Photos

You can sell your photos online by posting them on sites like Shutterstock, iStockPhoto and Fotolia. The sites are a little tricky to navigate at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to upload your photos and find buyers for them.

To get started:

  • Sign up with one of these websites if you haven't already (you can set up accounts with multiple sites if you want).
  • Upload your photos to the site - you may need to resize them before uploading so they stay within the size limits (usually 8 or 16 megapixels) that each site requires
  • Set a price range for each photo (if applicable)

7. Sell Your Stuff on eBay

Selling your stuff on eBay can be a great way to make some extra money. You can sell pretty much anything, from old clothes to cars - and there are many different categories you can choose from, including collectibles, antiques, and even art.

If you're selling an item that's hard to ship or if it would cost too much to do so (e.g., a car), consider having an online auction instead. Some things are easier to sell when they're one-of-a-kind items (like vintage celebrity photos or rare comic books) rather than generic products like used clothes or used electronics that people can find anywhere else online at a lower price point.

8. Sell Your Data for Cash

You may not be aware of it, but your data is being used by companies every day. Some of the most common ways include selling your browsing history and location data, as well as letting advertisers know if you're likely to buy something based on what they see you doing online.

But there's a less well-known way to sell your data: through marketplaces like DataGenius and Datacoup. On these sites, users can sell their data directly to companies that need it for various purposes - from improving their products to targeting advertising campaigns more effectively. This isn't an easy way to make money - you have to be careful about who you trust with your personal information - but it is possible!

9. Test Websites and Apps for Money

If you're looking for an easy way to make money online, there's a website that pays you $10 per test. You get paid to play videos, solve puzzles and more. This is a legitimate way to make money from home. The app pays you to review the latest games and apps on your phone or tablet!

For example, I played some games on my iPad for about 30 minutes last night and was already making $10 by this morning!

10. Getting Paid to Watch Videos on YouTube (or Anywhere Else)

Watching videos is a great way to make money, and there are plenty of ways to do it. I've already mentioned one: watching videos on YouTube. But you can also get paid to watch videos elsewhere - like on Facebook or Twitch, for example.

There's an app called WatchTime that pays people for viewing ads and other content with their mobile phones. The amount varies depending on how long you spend watching the video (it usually takes about 15 seconds), but the average is about $0.20 per hour of viewing time spent on their app! That's pretty good considering most people don't even earn minimum wage these days!

Another option is Swagbucks which has been around since 2008 as a rewards site where users can earn points by doing things like searching online with their search engine (which they call Swagbucks) and taking surveys or answering trivia questions (they call this "Gift Cards"). They have several other ways too such as finding new coupons or rebates before spending money at stores like Walmart, Target or Amazon; getting cashback rewards after shopping at grocery stores such as Kroger ; getting gift cards for restaurants like Burger King; redeeming your SB points for cash back into any major credit card including Visa American Express MasterCard Discover Amex Gift Cards PayPal Cash Reloads Amazon Gift Codes iTunes Gift Card Google Play Card Neteller Skrill Paypal My Cash Debit Card Simply Payroll Checks MoneyGram Western Union etc….

If you need to make money, there are plenty of opportunities available in the digital age!

If you need to make money, there are plenty of opportunities available in the digital age! The world has never been more accessible through the internet, and many companies have taken advantage of this fact.

There are many ways you can earn money online. You can create videos on Youtube and get paid for views or subscribers. You can play games like Roblox and earn virtual currency called "Robux" which you can redeem for cash if you're lucky. You can even shop online at places like Amazon, eBay, Newegg and others where companies will pay out commissions for referring customers their way. The list goes on!

Some people don't know that it's possible to make money just by posting YouTube comments - but it totally is! And if we're being honest here (and why shouldn't we be?), I'd say its one of my favorite methods because it doesn't take much time at all - and yet earns tons per month without fail every single year without fail ever since 2012 when I first invented this method back then when no one else had thought up making a living off these sorts things yet so no competition existed back then either…

Conclusion

There are plenty of ways to make money online, but the most important thing is to get started. You can always change your strategy later on, but at least you'll have some income coming in while you search for something else or try out different options.
