What is AdSense?
Google.com earns most of its revenue by allowing other website owners to advertise on their search result pages. All this is managed through a program they call AdWords.
Now you can earn a share of the revenue that Google earns from AdWords by displaying these same text ads on your site. In other words, you're helping Google advertise and they pay you a percentage of what they earn.

Free Credit for doing a survey
Txteagle enables brands to reward emerging market consumers with free mobile phone talk time in return for consumer insight or to incentivize purchasing.
Our mission is to empower global brands to directly engage with their next billion consumers via mobile phones. With access to 2.1 billion emerging market consumers in over 80 countries, we are creating the world’s largest consumer database. Using GroundTruth, our data gathering platform, we can provide real time, targeted insights (for example, the shampoo preferences of rural Indian women 18-24). With GroundSwell, our incentivization platform, we can incentivize a specific brand purchase with virtual couponing (the shampoo comes with a unique code worth $0.25 of free mobile airtime) with scope for group offers (if three friends buy the product, the reward triples).
txteagle is a rapidly-growing, early-stage start-up with $10M in funding backed by Spark Capital, the Blackberry Partners Fund, Qualcomm Ventures, Flywheel Ventures, the Royal Bank of Canada, and Esther Dyson. txteagle is presently earning revenue in 49 countries, with partnerships in place that will enable the expansion to 80 by year end.

Paypal Working In Kenya Successfully
Paypal is by far the most popular payment processor worldwide and no other payment procesor comes closer. Unfortunately however PayPal was not available to Kenyans until very recently. You could only send but not receive cash with Paypal.
I first tried setting a Paypal button on my other website in January 2009 to sell an informational product. Every ebook I had read on selling online recommended using PayPal to receive payments and as far as I had until then known (or at least PayPal had made me believe), I could sell anything online and receive payments using PayPal.
I built the web page and went ahead to set a PayPal button. Everything seemed to be going on well until I tried to pay myself using a Visa branded debit card I owned only to be notified that I couldn’t receive payments from my country. I cursed heavens but there was nothing I could do.
My heart leaped a few weeks ago when I saw this ad by Paypal on the Google Adsense ad program:

Making Money Online
Like we have already seen in a previous discussion, freelancing is one of the easiest ways to make money on the internet in Kenya as well as anywhere else in the world. You can work part time as a freelancer to earn an extra income or even make it your full time occupation.
It shouldn’t be a problem getting online jobs considering that freelancing sites such as freelancer.com and elance.com usually feature lots of online jobs that you can bid on and if the project owner gets impressed with your bid, then he/she might hire you for the job.
