The thought of making money online is at the forefront of many people in this world. The benefits of earning an income online are huge. Lets talk about those benefits now. Benefit One: The ability to make a large amount of income, on a regular basis, which can be either a full time job, or a passive business that keeps earning while you sleep. Benefit Two: The personal freedom that this income and the way it is derived allows, such as more time to spend with family, travel or pursue other interests. Gone are the days when people need to sit beyond a desk, shuffling papers at a job they don’t enjoy or one that hardly pays the bills. Sick of earning a measly wage? The internet makes it possible to make money online via writing articles on your blog. Maybe you only want a part time income, or a full time income, either way the internet offers a source of money which can either supplement your regular income or become your full time income and so much more. So, how can you make money online? You’ve probably done a search on Google for ways to make money online, and there are lots that are listed online. Below I’ve tried to put together a useful list of different options to get you started. By all means, this is not a complete list which will be updated over time. Treat it more as work in progress. There are more options than those just listed below on how to make money online so be sure to experiment as you think about these ideas further. 1. Create a Blog or Website to make a Profit. This is a very popular method of making money online. Creating a blog that earns you money by showing Google Ads, or other ads as well of course, and / or selling products and services. In a nutshell, you need to have great content, plenty of traffic and this can take some time to setup, depending on how popular the area your focusing on is. 2. Affiliate Marketing. Affiliate marketing is starting to become a massive way to make money online. Basically what you do is promote a specific product or service for someone else, and earn a commission whenever it is sold from your website or unique affiliate link. It covers many different topics so you can be sure to find something you are interested in selling. Such an example could be education. This is a powerful area where people are willing to pay money for information that is readily accessible, high quality and will be cost effective to download. Or perhaps you refer your visitors to your site to a brand of phone or internet hosting. The options are endless. But this is a fantastic way to make money online. 3. Start your own online business Is there a particular area that your currently working in, such as a bricks and mortar business? Have you thought about taking your existing business onto the web? If your business is making money outside of the web, and your selling a product or a service, why not increase your profits and offer a web service solution as well. Perhaps your selling a product(s). Why not set up an online store so your customers can order online as well? IF your brand is well known and you have a fantastic product, streamlined ordering process, this can be a great way to make money online. Remember however that its not just a matter of setting up a little website and leaving it at that. You need to still do marketing, hire some technical consultants to make sure everything is setup for you properly, such as security of the ordering process and making sure that the search engines can find your website! Do some searching around on the web. There are whole sites dedicated to this topic which can provide you with lots of detailed information. 4. Domain names and trading of domain names I personally haven’t really experimented much with this area, but I know there are a lot of people who are creative in the way they come up with new domain names. They then register all of these domains, let them sit there with a basic Google adsense page, waiting for the traffic to build up, and when they know they are getting a lot of traffic to it, simply because of the domain name, they then sell it to a company that wants to use the domain for their website. This is also know as ’site flipping’, and if done properly has the potential to earn you a handsome sum of money, as long as you know how to build an attractive and profitable website. 5. Get-Paid-to Websites Do you ever get those emails which advertise paid surveys and the likes of trial subscriptions? There are websites out there that do want to hear from consumers, and if you have plenty of time on your hands, you might as well get involved to earn some extra money online. In particular are those websites that offer affiliate programs. These are great as they often allow you to earn a recurring commission. If your not interested in creating your own website, and learning all about marketing and the internet, then get paid to websites are best suited to you. Just avoid the get paid to scams, which aren’t legitimate and are only stealing your personal information and time. Scam.com is a forum where members share info on the real scams, and those programs that do actually allow you to make money online. Other options for get paid to websites can be social media sites, such as dailymotion.com. This site allows you to submit your own unique videos. If its a popular video, then you will earn money each time it is viewed. Look it up for more info as these programs constantly change. 6. Get a Virtual Job Have you ever thought about offering your services as a freelance contractor, working from home? There are plenty of people using the internet to make money online, by advertising their services as anything from a virtual assistant, to a graphic designer or even a freelance writer for someone’s blog! This arrangement can provide many people with an improved lifestyle choice as they are able to work from the comfort of their own home, at hours that suit them and any travel / commuting time is removed. Also, for a lot of mums in particular, they are working as a personal assistant (also referred to as virtual assistants) from home and it means they don’t have to pay to have their children in child care. Thanks to the internet, email and VOIP, the possibilities are endless, and most bosses just want their work done, and don’t care when. Also, you can organise to work for several different companies on contracts / part time agreements and then ensure your not relying on the one company or employer for your income. This is especially good in this current economic envirnoment given that people are losing their jobs left right and centre! 7. Sell your own Product There are so many products that you can create to sell online and make money. These include such things as website templates, video tutorials, ebooks on specialised areas and even personalised items such as business cards, birthday cards or desk calendars. There are also plenty of sites that allow you to sell your own photography, art work, or writing. Remember, if you have your own product or products, the best way to make money online is to work it in conjunction with your own online business / website. If you sell your product via the many websites available, you can utilise their larger audience and already established websites, however you will need to pay them a commission, so sell it yourself and keep all of the profits! Well, I hope that starts the creative juices flowing. If you can think of other ways to make money online that I haven’t mentioned here, then share them with everyone in the comments. All the best!
