I'm just curious, are there any GOOD, low cost, preferably free ways to make money online that are updated, and don't require blogging, or making a website, aside from Content Writing? I wanna do something different.....
Youtube marketing works like a charm. Read up on the Youtube section under making money. Mix it in with Clickbank.
People always assume that they only way to promote is to build a website and rank it. You can always build content on someone else's site and rank it. Lots of people build review sites on Squidoo. However, you can always build up a forum thread, article, video, yahoo answers page, ezine article (although if direct linking to an offer... you must first build a site to link to and then redirect after publishing to your affilliate offer), etc. They can be SEO'd or sent paid traffic like any other site. In fact, if you know how to provide value in an answer and disguise your sales agenda well, people eat these up even more. The most powerful sales message is the one where people don't know they're being sold to. You also sell stuff on forums like ebooks etc. Of course, one really simple forgotten way is to write a quality piece of content. Then send it out to somebody in your mailing list to use as content and have the forward to your offer. Some people will take your free article and disappear but many will use it and provide you with affiliate commissions to their list for splitting a part with them. Of course, selling backlinks works every time all the time no exceptions. I have a site where I actually resell 10 fiverr gigs as a package. I found the best 10 backlink packages I could find (for $50 naturally) and resell them for $100. I do have a website for that but I even use people on fiverr to promote is for me. LOL.
You haven't told us much about your skills, so it's difficult to give you any guidelines. As ff1227 has said, there are many offers for a wide variety of tasks in gig websites like Fiverrr. Other places where you might be hired are freelancing marketplaces as oDEsk, Elance... or the good old classifieds (i.e. CL, if you're from USA). If you feel more inclined to marketing, then you can offer your SEO skills to local businesses for a monthly fee. Anyway, I think you should describe yourself to get some valid help here. What about your CV, abilities, interests...?
I would suggest checking out freelancing websites like vworker, odesk or freelancer. Competitions is rude however and you must constantly try to stand out and prove your skills.
You can promote CPA offers directly. But having at least a Blogger or simple webpage will be helpful. Read this recent thread : Code: http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/making-money/372454-how-i-made-215-12-hours-twitter.html Beny
Create a dummy facebook account and a fb page, link to your CPA offer then mass post on other pages about your page using the dummy account, don't spam too much else you might get banned. I did this and I earned a few dollars in my first hours, simple stuff.
There are so many ways to earn money without a website. In fact you will earn more money without website, faster, than when creating a website and trying to monetize. Two options not yet mentioned that I use: Fiverr gigs Filesonic downloads The two above earn me good amount of money. Without involving my website.
I agree with that ! Also you have ShareKash that pays very well. Perso I use ShareKash with YouTube, and make around $100 per month in full passive. Find good things to share, what you will be able to fill a survey to download (rare softwares, auto-approved lists, WSO eBooks, ...). $100 will not help you to buy a Cadillac, but it's always $100...

Appreciating this question and this thread. The one thing that always impresses me about this site is the wide variety of methods people here use. I came into this thread expecting the general response to be "Nope" and instead I got a half-dozen ideas for how to do this and suggestions for how to find more methods. If someone could spend 24 hours a day on BHW for a few weeks and then 24 hours a day on IM they'd be a wealthy fellow...
but yor own hosting sites have a Great Feature of Content locker . which free hosting like blogger squido , weebly etc not supported.
There are tons of ways to make money beside having a website, Twitter, Facebook, craiglist, youtube, and tons of others, just have a look around you'll surely find a method that doesn't involve having a website in a couple of minutes.
Arbitrage on sport-betting pages (Betfair and that sort). All you need is some software to automate things, as manual research is too time consuming. For what I've heard, this method is boring as death, yet profitable.
A fashionable one: online-reputation management for brick and mortar businesses (antique maffiosi specialty).
