12.Blog Reviews:-
If you have a blog which already gets decent traffic and pagerank atleast one, you can offer posts on your blog with in-content links to your client’s website. Pagerank is not so important now but it increases the market value of your blog. Remember to review good products, businesses and websites only. It’s again zero-investment income if you are using free blog hosting service of blogger or wordpress.
For example reviewing any webhosting review company and if you drive a good number of traffic to them, that means any single sale will generate atleast 50$-100$ for them. Now do a rough count, do consider long term in this case, since that post is going to be forever. More over that Webhosting review site is getting prominent linkback from a page rank website in similar niche. In that case you can start minimum from 300-400$ to any extent, depending on your website popularity and readership.
