I respect you for liking to work for your money, Me I like to make my money work for me, I like to work efficiently aswell and if there's a way I can automate something that would be fantastic aswell.
I like to write. That's how I earn most of my money online. Though I've earned a good deal of money with my signature line ads (both on my own forum and on a very big SEO forum). Both those have earned a nice sum of money. I'd love to expand with more Hubs and niche blogs where I can write and earn money, maybe even getting a full time income from that.
I found a really good site where people will pay me to post Guest Articles on Geeks Hut, it's earned me more than i've ever earned from Geeks Hut in 48 hours!
I think the best way to generate revenues is by Affiliate marketing. Freelancers and professionals swear by it and this has been the most common method of earning money. Numbers are of great concern, so it is a good idea to keep sources diversified.
