8 WAYS TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE

MY MOST POPULAR POST! - http://makemoneyonline2003.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/inboxpounds.html

1. Turn your skill(s) into a service online.

If you have a skill (who doesn’t?), why not offer your services via the internet (a.k.a. virtually)? From counseling to administrative assistance to design to consulting and anything in between, thousands of people (myself included) are taking advantage of the internet to grow viable businesses from home. I highly, highly, highly recommend The Bootstrap VA: The Go-Getter’s Guide to Becoming a Virtual Assistant, Getting and Keeping Clients, and More!, an ebook by Lisa Morosky. This ebook blew my mind; it’s loaded with tips, resources and step-by-step instruction. It’s a steal at $12.99–it’s like a college course! Seriously, if you’re thinking about offering a service online, do yourself a favor and make this your first business investment.

2. Generate income directly from your site.

Niche blogs or websites are sites that offer some sort of helpful or entertaining information to a highly-targeted group of people. Sometimes it involves doing keyword research to find out what people are searching for in the search engines and tailoring your site to be the go-to place for that search.

If you have a highly-specialized interest with accompanying expertise you can share your knowledge and generate income from it. How?Advertising or affiliate marketing.

The absolute best tool for keyword research is Market Samurai. I know, because I’m a paying customer. If you want to see how it works, check out their very informative tutorial videos. Highly recommended.

3. Sell on Etsy.

Are you crafty? Consider selling on Etsy. You can set up your own shop for free and it’s simple to get started. It’s not so simple to stand out from the crowd, so that’s likely to be your biggest challenge. Here are some tips on how to market your shop.

4. Write for someone else.

The advantage of writing for other sites is that you get to be a part of something that’s already established. Also, you don’t have to worry about the technical aspects of running and maintaining your own site.

Write for Squidoo. Here’s one woman’s story. Or write for eHow and make $15-$20 per hour. Become a guide (compensation at least $500/mo) or contributing writer (compensation at least $250/mo) atAbout.com. At the time of this writing, they’re looking for guides forBreastfeeding, Home Furnishings and Country Music. They’re looking for contributing writers for Soul Food, Wedding Planning, Children’s Activites and Digital Scrapbooking. To name a few.

5. Are you a photographer? Illustrator?

Why not sell your photos on a site like iStockphoto? SomeGirl has an excellent series about how to become an iStockphoto seller. A significant portion of her family’s income comes from selling photos.
