It's not just about the income. Making money online is so much more. It's about a lifestyle. It's about freedom.

But how do you get started if you're on a shoestring budget?

Would you like some great money making ideas?

Here are seven free ways that can get you going:

Idea Number 1 - Link to Affiliate Products on Forums and Emails

Find an interesting affiliate product, and then visit related forums. Write forum posts or comments, and include your affiliate link along with your signature.

Make sure that this policy is permitted on the specific forum.

And did you consider using your email signature for other things than just giving away your name and perhaps address?

This is a great place to put an affiliate link. Just a super short introduction, and then the link, like for instance:

Get this great product about how to make xxx -> your link

If you affiliate link is long, find a link shortener to fix it.

Idea Number 2 - Sell Affiliate Products through YouTube
You can actually see affiliate products with the help of YouTube. You just have to be a little bit creative. Make some videos related to an affiliate product; use a link shortener, and add your shortened affiliate link to the beginning of the video description. And of course, if you can add a water mark to the video with the same affiliate link, it's much better.

Idea Number 3 - Create a Blogger Blog and Add Articles from Article Directories

There are many ways you can earn some money with Blogger, and this one is not only free - it's one in which you have to invest very little effort.

Create a blog; choose a neat and simple template; add AdSense ads, and visit several article directories to source related articles. You will simply have to copy and paste them to your blog, but remember to include the author resource box at the end.

Idea Number 4 - Create a Hub Page and Make Money from plenty of Sources

Do the same thing at HubPages. You can also write your own original content and upload this. Add AdSense, Amazon, etc., or source a specific affiliate product you want to promote.

Idea Number 5 - Create a Squidoo Lens

Squidoo is a lot like HubPages. When you create your lens, you can add all types of monetization like AdSense, Amazon, eBay etc.

Idea Number 6 - Write on Xomba and Get Paid

Xomba is a smart place. You can add your articles but, if you can also find an interesting video, then embed it and write a résumé about it.

You will earn money each time somebody clicks on your ads.

If you can encourage your friends sign up for Xomba, you'll also receive a part of their earnings as well.

Idea Number 7 - Get Paid for Sharing Files

Do you have some files you want to share with others? Why not get paid for doing it?

Sign up with ShareCash.org, submit your file, and tell people where they can obtain it.

The sum of money you earn depends on which of several surveys your guest chooses to fill out.
