ASSOCIATED CONTENT - Well networked site to submit articles to.
Pro's - The media can choose to buy your content, new bonuses per page view.

Pro's - You can set a price at which you want to sell your article at, buyers can email requests for content.
Con's - Articles can take up to 5 days for submission.

SELLING
EBAY - Everybody knows this one, sell (almost) anything on-line.
Pro's - Auction settings, set a reserve price.
Con's - Ebay sets charges for listing your goods, illegitimate buyers.

CAFEPRESS - A place where you can start a shop for free, then upload your images to be printed and sold on various goods, can also print books and audio Cd's.
Pro's - Don't have to deal with postage and packaging, don't have to buy stock.

BLOGGING
ADSENSE - Google's advertising system lets you place adds on your website.
Pro's - Pays per page view and per click, adds relevant to your site content.
Con's - High traffic site needed to make lots of income.

SURVEYS
GLOBAL TEST MARKET - Get paid to fill out surveys

Watch out for any site claiming it can make you $20,000 in a week, or any site which makes you pay money to join. Trial and error is the best way to make some extra cash - see what works for you. Good Luck.
