I was earning online for free before and I stopped for a year. Right now I cannot be back on track but I am trying with my affiliate links that is on my blog. What I enjoy most is that, I earn by just making comments online and as long as the conversation goes well, you will also earn from all the replies you make. There are many site who as for people to comment their products and give you free samples of their newly released item.
Yeah it can be hard to get back on track after a year. I have not been offline that long but if I go a day or two like I have I get messed up and off track.
