I have been web 2.0 enterpriser for very short time, just about a year. With web 2.0 earnings, I mean a little bit different business, than just placing ads on your web site. With web 2.0 enterprising, you are working in a social network and liked it or not, you are using your friends to make money. More friends - more money.

So web 2.0 is not about running your business alone. There are different sites and a lot of different opportunities - some of them are good and some of the are not. Here I have collected my top 5 web 2.0 earning companies, where I have actually made some money.

Everything started with Newsvine. I joined the community and soon realized, that I can actually make some money there by being an active member of the community. Being active means, that you write your own articles, seed interesting news and of course you’ll have to participate to conversations. And by making friends, you are more likely to get more visitors and get better ratings to your articles, which gives you more visibility. During my first year at Newsvine, I managed to make totally $199. That’s not much, but that’s a beginning

PayPerPost and other payed blogging companies, are market places, where bloggers can search for topics to write about and get actually some money by doing that. There are also several other companies, but I chose to write about PPP, because it has bought me about 95% of my blogging earnigns, about $1000 in eight months.

Then about Revver videos. Revver is a company, which pays to it’s members for video views. There are embedded ads and each views, member gets some money. In last few months, Revver has added some features to the site, which support social networking like: commenting, video responses, commenting, improved profile etc. so you can actually see Revver as a social site. With one year and 51 videos, I’ve made $21.58.

At the fourth place, there is an interesting and perhaps a little weird site: Weblo - virtual investment. At Weblo, members can buy the whole World - virtually. I joined Weblo last August and I’m interested to see, how will it go. At the moment there seems to be increasing number of very active members, who do a big work while promoting their sites at Weblo. Weblo has also several features, which support social interaction, like messages, profile, commenting etc. With Weblo, I have actually spend more money than earned, but let’s see, what is the situation at Weblo after a year. At the moment my Weblo earnings are about $4.

Google adsense is not a social site, but about placing ads on your page. I still chose to presented it here, because Adsense earnings sure are related to the number of visitors at your blogs and other sites (where ever you embed the ads). In six months, with 17 292 views, 151 clicks, I have made $38,25. But because $100 is the minimum payed out, I’m still gathering experiences and opinions about Google Adsense and waiting for my first earnings.
