"Blogging
In Sweden, free newspaper giant Metro hosts Metrobloggen, a get-paid-per-view blogging service. Anyone can set up a blog at Metrobloggen and as soon as an individual blog achieves 5,000 page views per month, Metro sends the author a MasterCard that's credited with 150 Swedish kronor (USD 20 / EUR 16).
Phone-based advice
By signing up for a free Ether number (which is forwarded to any regular phone number), SELLSUMER experts—from holistic life coaches to PowerPoint wizards—can charge their customers per hour, minute, or call.

What makes this individual group of people so much interesting is that brands need to be aware that with the right kind of skills, what they do can be done also by customers they originaly aimed their own products/services at, like Apple and its Apps,it will be important to work with people and create something that meets each individual customer needs.
