Make Money Online

There are many ways to make money online. Any product or service that can be delivered electronically will allow you to make money from any internet-enabled device, anywhere in the world. You could work in an office, at home or while you’re on vacation.

The main purpose of AF.c is to provide information on free stuff. Becoming a freebie hunter can be a fun hobby or a practice that helps with your personal finances. A job, whether you’re employed, self-employed or a freelancer, is not actually free since you’re getting paid for your time. However, since helping people with their personal finances is part of the purpose of this site, resources to make money online are still included.

There are multiple ways to get freebies and make money online that are not included in this page. For example, you can enter to win sweepstakes online to win money or sign up for bank bonuses. There are many ways listed on the Free Money and Free Stuff page. There is also a similar page about “Get Paid To” programs. If a resource is mentioned on that page or the GPT Directory, they will mostly be for small tasks like searching the internet, reading emails or clicking an ad. If a resource is added to this page or to the Make Money Online Directory, then it will be geared more towards employment, self-employment or freelancing. These are actual jobs for which you could earn a reasonable income working part-time or full-time.

General Resources

General resources in the Make Money Online Directory will include places to post a job or a resume or get a gig as a freelancer. These are mostly the general resources that would offer multiple categories. The ones that are niche-specific will be listed under the specific category. For example, 99Designs is a place where graphic artists can offer services. That will be listed under “Graphic Art & Design” above, but if its a general resource, like Upwork, then graphic artists could find work there too.

A Job Is Not Actually Free

Since a job is not actually free, it’s also important to note when money actually becomes free. It becomes free when you own a business or invest, which means the money starts working on it’s own or it starts working for you. See also Free Money and Passive Cash Flow Businesses With $0 Startup Fees.
