 Here’s a chance to make some extra money on the side. Participate in the Yahoo User Research program and you can make $100 or more per study. The only downside is that registering for the program does not guarantee that you will be invited to participate.

There are a number of ways in which you can participate in Yahoo Research:

From the Yahoo User Research Promo Page.

“Help us shape the future of Yahoo! by joining our User Research program. Participants may receive $100 or more, depending on the type of research! Signing up takes only a few minutes.” …

“Entry into the Participant Database does not guarantee participation in our research studies. When we plan for upcoming studies, we will query our database for potential participants. If you fit our criteria, we will give you a call or send an e-mail to schedule a time for you to come in to meet with us (or, for field studies, a time to come visit you).”

I think this has happened to us all. At one point or another, you must have come up with some interesting business idea but decided not to pursue it further because of all the effort involved in starting a business. Well, CafePress makes the work easy for you. You just provide the idea and they’ll do all the gruntwork and share their revenues with you.

With CafePress, you can sell apparel, housewares, CDs and DVDs, books, hats, bags, and many more products. You provide the design/content and CafePress will sell it for you.

CafePress sets a minimum price at which you can sell your goods. This base price is necessary in order for CafePress to cover their production costs and make some level of profit. You then set your own retail price over the CafePress.com base price. When CafePress sells your goods, the difference between the retail price and the CafePress base price is yours to keep and represents your profits.

About a year ago, YouTube started a revenue-sharing program with its top content producers. MetaCafe followed suit soon after. Sharing revenue with talented video producers who draw thousands, if not millions, of visitors to their sites makes financial sense. By offering to share revenue, those producers will also have an incentive to keep posting quality content.

The only gripe I have with both YouTube and MetaCafe is that they’re limiting their revenue sharing to their top members. Enter Revver.com, a relatively new video sharing site that offers to share ad revenues with all of its members.

Revver ad revenues are split three-way:
i.) Revver gets a 40% cut.
ii.) The creator of the video gets 40%
iii.) The sharer (i.e. the person who shares the video) gets 20%.

You can be both a creator and a sharer at the same time.

Revver FAQ Excerpt

How do I make money?

Revver is all about empowering makers and sharers of video by providing easy tools for distribution and sharing revenue with our members.

When you upload your video to Revver, we attach an advertisement and our unique tracking technology to it. We call this “Revverizing.” There are two ways that your video and the associated ad can generate revenue: from impressions/views of the ad (CPM ads), and from clicks on the ad (CPC ads). When a viewer sees a CPM ad associated with your video, you get paid, no click required. When a viewer clicks on a CPC ad associated with your video, you get paid. In both cases, Revver splits the revenue with you 50/50. Please note that not every impression or click will result in revenue, as some advertisers only buy traffic from the US and Canada, and also multiple repeated impressions or clicks from a single user on a single video are scrubbed as duplicates.

You can track video’s performance through your Revver account, which tells you exactly how many times your video is watched, and how much money you’re earning.

Since ads are attached to the video itself, there’s no restriction on how your videos are distributed. The more people email your video, post it to other websites or download it from P2P networks, the more money you could earn.

To increase the value of the entire Revver network, we also reward people for sharing videos. You can earn 20% of ad revenue for sharing videos by other Revver members. The remaining revenue is split 50/50 between the maker and Revver.

How much money can I make?

The exact amount of money you earn per view or click is variable. We are constantly working to improve the value of our network so we can negotiate better rates. So keep uploading and sharing - it’s good for everyone!

Google is hiring representatives for their Local Business Referrals (LBR) program.

As a participant in the program, you’re expected to visit businesses, provide them with information about Google products and collect general information about them like store hours and types of products offered. Oh, you also have to take pictures of the business. You get $10 for each approved report you submit. For more details, please view the FAQs on the Google LBR homepage.

If that sounds like a lot of things to do for 10 bucks, it is. But then again, if you’re desperate enough for money and don’t have another job, it is easy money. You’ll probably want to pick businesses that are located nearby and visit as many as possible on the same day. For example, you could pick a dozen businesses in the same shopping plaza or strip mall. It may take you several hours to the job but at the end of the day, you’re walking away with more than $100 in earnings. You could do this once every week. Of course, it’s just a question of time until you run out of nearby business to prospect. The earlier you jump on board, the more you can earn.

Zinio Review

Zinio allows people to access their favorite magazines online.

Zinio is a subscription service that you usually have to pay for. For a limited time, though, Zinio is giving iPhone and iPod Touch users free access to their special Mobile Newstand service. All they have to do is visit zinio.com/iphone on their Safari browser. No registration is needed. You would imagine that at some point, Zinio will want to start charging these users for the service but so far they have not said if and when they would do so.

The selection in Zinio’s Mobile Newstand service is more limited than the regular service but it’s free, so there’s no point in complaining. Available titles include: U.S. News & World Report, Playboy, Saveur, Popular Photography, Men’s Health, Kiplinger’s, Popular Mechanics, Penthouse, Viv, Car and Driver, PC Magazine, Elle, Technology Review, Outside, Macworld UK, Esquire UK, NME, Macworld Español, Lonely Planet, and Reader’s Digest.

How to Access Free Magazines From Any PC or Mac With Zinio

Here’s the deal though. The free service is technically not limited to iPhone and iPod Touch users but to users who use Safari with iPhone or iPod Touch identification settings. You could just download the Safari browser, if you don’t already have it, and change the settings to indicate to websites that you’re using an iPhone or iPod Touch.

Here’s a step-by-step description of how this would work:

1. Download and install Safari from Apple.com

2. Open Safari.

3. Go to “Edit” -> “Preferences” -> “Advanced” and check “Show Develop menu in menu bar”.

4. Go to “Develop” -> “User Agent” and select “Mobile Safari 1.1.3 - iPhone”.

5. Visit zinio.com/iphone and enjoy.

If you need quick cash but you don’t have the time to commit to a part-time job, donating blood plasma is one option.

To be eligible to donate plasma, you generally have to meet these guidelines:
- be at least 17 years old
- weigh over 110 pounds
- be in general good health

The actual amount of compensation may vary but it is usually around $35 for each donation. You may donate your plasma a maximum of two times per week.

To find a plasma collection center near you, all you have to do is check the yellow pages. In fact, you can do that right online.

Link to Yellow Pages Online

Be prepared to spend a couple of hours at the center. You will first be asked to complete a form about your health and lifestyle. For example, your plasma is obviously not going to be acceptable if you indicate that you’re a drug addict or have some infectious disease. The same is true if you got piercings or tatoos over the last year. If you pass the initial screening, you’ll undergo a basic physical exam, which may include taking your blood pressure, your pulse, a blood sample, and your temperature. Only then will you be allowed to donate your plasma.

Participating in a focus group is an easy way to earn some extra income. And it can be quite rewarding.

Focus groups usually last at least a couple of hours and most of them pay upwards of $100 for your time.

Finding a focus group to join can be hit or miss depending on where you live. Your best bet is to check Craigslist.com. Search for “focus group” under “Jobs” and/or “Community”. If you live in a major metropolitan area (e.g. New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco), you’re almost guaranteed to find multiple focus group listings at any given time. (If you live in the boonies, don’t even bother looking.)

Other than finding focus group opportunities through Craigslist, you might also consider contacting market research firms directly. Most focus groups are run by local companies. You can pick up your local Yellow Pages and look for market research firms in your area. Give them a call and ask if they are looking for focus group participants. Even if they’re not running any focus groups currently, they may keep your name on file and contact you later when they do need you.

Focus Pointe Global is one of the few companies that have locations nationwide.
