Idea No. 2 - CPA/PPL, Freebies, and Groups … oh my!
CPA = Cost Per Action
PPL = Pay Per Lead
Essentially, CPA/PPL programs pay you a flat fee for having your customers complete a task .. for example: filling out a survey, completing a credit card application, completing a loan application, etc.
How can you make money from this?Ah, glad you asked!
There are several versions of these CPA/PPL offers … some require the person completing an offer to submit their name, address, phone number, and credit card info. While others only ask for a name and email!
I would suggest finding “free” offers that do not require a credit card and then let your imagination run wild!
Here are some CPA/PPL Networks you can check out:
Google’s CPA/PPL is built inside of their AdSense program (they call them referrals!)
In fact, the sweet thing about these “referrals” is that they ENCOURAGE you to draw attention to the ads! Unlike their regular AdSense ads, where you can be banned for doing so!!
Other CPA/PPL Networks:

OK, so you have signed up for some of these networks.
Now we have to get some traffic to see those offers!
Here’s a hint or two 
Social Networks (MySpace, etc…)
Videos (talk about the great offer(s) - give a link)
Blogs about the offer - Articles to help drive traffic
Squidoo / Hubpages
Groups & Forums
NOTE: some CPA/PPL networks allow incentive marketing - essentially, with incentive marketing you can tell your visitors to check out an offer and in return, you will send them something for their time - that something can be a free report or even money! Be sure you understand the specific rules for each offer to make sure you can use incentives.
Personally, I would try and find incentive-allowed offers because you can get a higher response rate from your visitors! WHY? Because you are giving them something in return for their time!
Go through the networks you signed up with and find the offers you are going to market. Get a good 10-20 offers, hopefully in the same general or similar niche. The reason is that you can get them to take a look at and fulfill multiple offers if they are related!
Create a webpage, Squidoo lens, Hubpage, or blog with your offer on it.
Then, go into Squidoo, MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, hi5, Multiply, Google Groups, Yahoo Groups, Forums, etc…and find an appropriate group you are trying to target with you offers. START interacting with the groups! Become one of them … have your signature line say something like “have a free resource book on _______. PM or email me for information!”
Find or create a short report about your subject … make sure it is worth something! Spend a little time to make it a very useful freebie!
Then, as you build a relationship inside these groups, you will start to get people sending you messages about your free book. Tell them in return for taking a few minutes to look at your website/blog/lens … and checking out the offers there, you will send them your ebook! I would make sure your offers are free to them AND hopefully do not require a credit card (yes, there are freebie offers out there that do not require the person to enter a credit card!)
Form here, it’s a matter of checking your stats to see if your stats are increasing and you are getting credit for your signups! Ask your visitor to email you after they complete the offer(s). Then, email them with your Freebie!
It should not be that hard to find 10-20 people a day to fill out the offers
That would be a decent side income for maybe an hour or two of work per day!
