Helping Ordinary People Make Money Online

As I have said before, all beginners are beginners. But for people who are new to Internet Marketing or who are interested in making money online there are real ways to do it. And you making money online will astonish disbelievers. It is so important for beginners to reinforce their belief it can be done too. The amount you make online may not be much initially, but once anything happens, it can be the beginning of a quest for many to earn a substantial income on line.

There are many ways to make money online. As one becomes more experienced, the opportunities become more obvious. I will list 10 simple ways to earn money online.  I will follow up in other posts in this series as I explore making money online.

1. Get paid to do surveys. There are many survey houses that will pay you to do a simple survey. Many corporations now prefer surveys over focus groups for their consumer research. Some are free but don’t earn much. Others do cost something but earn more. Survey Scout is one of those.

2. Get paid to try products. Cash Crate actually pays you to try products and will also pay you two levels deep for those you refer.

3. Get paid to write articles. From $1 to $20 each and more at AssociatedContent.

4. Get paid to post in forums at ContentCurrent. Requires only about 12 words per post and pays $0.10 each. If you did 60 posts in one hour each day for 30 days you could earn $180.

5. Do you take pictures? You can sell licenses to web masters or individuals to use the photos that you take. Rates vary from $0.25 and up.

6. By far the best way to make money online is to start a Blog and write about something that you have a passion about. It is not surprising that others may have a passion about the same thing and are searching for information on the internet. As your traffic grows there are many ways to monetize your site with advertising or selling other peoples’ products to make money online. Amazon has all kinds of products that belly up to all kinds of topics. Just blog about niche topics that are interesting. You can blog about your everyday tasks, blog about your plans to lose weight, or blog about your plans to make money. There are endless affiliate programs to support most niches.

7. Build your virtual real estate. Your blog becomes a place for traffic to come to. People are looking for solutions to their problems. Give away something for free to get people to register and you can start to build traffic. Then use Adsense and get paid for Google advertising on your site. Adsense can be a money maker for literally doing nothing. The more traffic you have the more money you earn online.

8. Write an info product for a well established niche. Everybody knows something that others are willing to pay to know. Most people are not interested in actually applying what you write, but just want to know the information. If your info product has anything new, it should sell. Remember, you only have to know a little more than your customer to be his expert.

9. Build an e-commerce site and sell your own products. Many brick and mortar businesses have found it easier and with less overhead to become virtual and sell only online.

10. Become a full affiliate site and market products from affiliate programs like CommissionJunction, LinkShare, PepperJam, and many others.

Start out by doing only one or two of these to prove it can be done. All of them aren’t necessarily easy and some may not be suitable for everyone, but all are doable. It may take many hours to earn a few $. But I promise you that once you do, you’ll find ways to do others. And the more you do, the more you will want to do.

There are many more lucrative ways to make money online. But as I have said before, all beginners are beginners and they must all start somewhere.
