Get Paid to Create Stuff

With Lulu, you can make money by creating and selling your own books, calendars, CDs and DVDs. Apart from, you know, the sit down and write a book part, it's really pretty simple. After you write the book, you upload it as a PDF document, choose the format (6" x9", 8 1/2" x 11", etc.), the binding (perfect, saddle stitch, PlastiCoil, etc.), upload any artwork (cover art, illustrations, etc.), and name your price.

Then there's LuluTV, where you get paid for uploading video (like YouTube or Google Video). The only catch with LuluTV is that, if you want a share of the revenue, you have to pay to join. For $14.95 you become a shareholder. Then every month, each shareholder gets paid a percentage of the money earned by the site. How much you earn is based on how many times your video is viewed, as a percentage of the total views for all the videos on the site.

If making money from your videos sounds cool, but paying to be a shareholder doesn't interest you, there's eefoof. The offer a similar profit-sharing system, but it doesn't cost you anything to get involved. You upload your content (a video, photo, audio file, etc.) and they pay you based on your share of the traffic. Easy! Well, except maybe for the make a really cool video part.
