As you may have noticed I tend to make money writing online. Associated content is perhaps an even better one than Hubpages as you don't need to be an affiliate of Google, Amazon or ebay. You can earn in several ways - you get paid for the traffic an article gets ($1.50 for 1000 views). You can earn an upfornt fee for certain articles and you can become a featured writer and earn a guaranteed payment for up to three articles a month.

Again a lot of work, but worth the effort in the long run.
