This week has all been about making money with residual income sites. I’ve spent three years using some of the sites, others I’ve only been on for three months. However, I’ve shared my experience in the hope that others with find sites that they either do or don’t want to try out.
Here’s my weekly roundup of making money online with the residual income sites, in case you missed the posts or need a refresher.
Monday: Make Money With Writedge
Monday I spent some time on a relatively new site, Writedge. This is a pay per view site, and pays $5 for 1,000 views. While some people may view that as a low amount, it’s actually relatively high compared to many other residual income sites around.
Here’s the post for your convenience.
Tuesday: Earning Online With Daily Two Cents
One Tuesday, I focused on Writedge’s sister site, Daily Two Cents. This could be a great site for those who want to make money writing while adding a more social aspect to their day.
Check out the Daily Two Cents post right here.
Wednesday: Could You Earn With HubPages?
HubPages is one of the oldest residual income sites, and writers can make money in various ways. Since it is so old and has a relatively good standing with Google, it could even be possible to make money on your own site by using it for back links.
Here’s the post on HubPages.
Thursday: Using InfoBarrel to Make Money Online
Another old one, InfoBarrel was Thursday’s site. This is one of the residual income sites that I haven’t had much luck with, expect for with one post. If you want to try this site, I recommend doing it with caution.

Friday: Make Money Online With Wizzley
Wizzley is another relatively new site compared to HubPages and InfoBarrel, but still deserves a mention. Writers make money in various ways, and the good news is that there is no need for a Google AdSense account!

Saturday: Using Day2DayTips to Make Money Writing
Yesterday’s post was about one of the newest residual income sites. It’s one that I’m still on the fence about, because it is so new.
However, here’s the post so you can make your own decision.
I hope you enjoyed this week’s posts, and you found them helpful. I know the posts have brought up a lot of questions about monetizing blogs and how to make money online, so I’ll certainly keep the questions in mind when I create my series of posts for next month.
Next week, I’m going to cover a series of micro-job sites and bidding sites to see if you can make money writing online with them. These will include the likes of Fiverr, Freelancer.com and Elance.
Interesting. Do these sites provide you with an income or do you use these as side business?
They’re just a side thing for me, Sarah. I know some people who do use them for regular income, but that’s what my private clients are for 🙂
I would have a liked a little more in depth info about how the payment works but I look forward to the article on freelancer sites next week. Thanks for the information.
Thanks for your comment, Nasilele. There is more information about each of the sites on their individual posts. This was just a roundup for the week.
I didn’t know there were so many sites available online that could potentially earn you money. There’s probably tons more too, right?
Which of these websites do you make the most money from? I would be interested in knowing and how long it took you to rake in the cash. 🙂
Thanks!
It’s amazing, right? There are many many more, too. I’ve focused on the ones that I use at the moment or have used recently in the past. The one I make the most money on varies. Last month, one single post at InfoBarrel made me $20, while the others trickle in about the same $4-$5 each month (bar Day2DayTips). Writedge and Daily Two Cents have been the most successful in a short space of time though 🙂
Thanks for the reply! I shall have to check these places out as soon as my graphic design schedule slows down a bit (not hurting for cash right now, but you never know about the future!)
I try to plan for changes in the future as much as possible, so I definitely understand.
Excellent posts and a very handy round up.
Thanks, Victoria.
I’ve used a lot of sites like these and they can be a really great side business but never focus solely on them! Be building your own sites. Everything with Squidoo should really be teaching people why you should have your own site hosting the majority of your work.
While I personally agree, I know there are a lot of people who don’t have the time to set up their own blogs, and in some cases learn how to use them. For those people, I encourage them to have as many of these sites as they can handle. The chances of all of them closing down at the same time is slim.
It has been a very good learning experience, Alexandria! Looking forward to next week’s lessons! HUGS <3
Thanks, Judy. That is great to hear. I hope you get something from next week’s series.
I know of someone who can use this information – I’ve shared this on social media. I may check out a couple myself. Thank you for sharing.
Great! Thanks for taking the time to share it.
Lots of great information here! I have my own website where I have products and offer services, but I will forward this to a friend!
Thanks for taking the time to forward it on, Candess.
Great list of reviews. A handy resource when deciding what sites to work on.
Great series that will help freelancers make a little on the side. The reviews handy too. If the author retains the rights then they stockpile them until they can afford to self host and voila… instant website content.
Thanks, Mel. You know something, I’ve never considered doing it that way. You bring up an excellent point about creating the content and stockpiling it. Plus writers get to make money while they’re building the funds for their own sites.
Hi Alexandria,
Thank you for this very useful series. Looking forward to going through each one and testing them out to see which ones would create a new revenue for me.
You’re welcome. I’m glad you found it useful and hope you find a few that are perfect for your needs.
