Introduction
If you’ve been on the internet for more than a few hours,
you’ve likely seen at least one advertisement teaching you
how to make thousands of dollars a day, working in your
underwear, in the comfort of your own home.
These ads are so ridiculously popular that if you’re like
most people, you start doubting whether it really IS
possible to make money online.
The truth is, it IS possible. It might be hard to make
thousands of dollars a day from the get-go, but there are
certainly ways you can make an extra $100 a day working
from home with ease.
In this report, I am going to share 100 different ways in
which you can create more income. I have tried to cover all
types of methods for all different personality and skill
types, and I am confident that you’ll be able to find at least
a few that sound good to you.
While some of them require more work than others, please
know that you can mix and match. For example, maybe
you can do a few hours of forum moderation at $10 an
hour for $30, and then make up the extra $70 doing
something else. The key is to have fun and do whatever
you enjoy.
I have given an overview of each idea, and then fleshed
them all out a little bit so you can get started on whatever
you like, immediately.
It is my sincere hope that you get a lot out of this report,
and that you take action and start making money!

1. Forum Posting
One of the easiest ways you can make money online, if you
have a talent for talking, is by posting on forums.
Many website owners hire people to post on their forums
so that they look busier and more popular. By doing this,
they hope to attract more long-term visitors.
Another problem for most busy website owners is that
updating and participating in their own forums is very time
consuming and prohibits them from working on other
projects. That's where you can help. You can get paid to
participate in the forums on their behalf.
When you’re posting in forums, all you would have to do is
start new threads, or respond to existing comments and
questions and to keep conversations going.
You can do this by posting interesting thoughts, tips,
articles, news and thought-provoking conversation.
One of the perks of this job is that you get to learn a lot of
new things. Also, if you can post in forums that you’re
already interested in, you'll basically get paid for doing
something you enjoy.
In order to make money as a forum poster, here are some
steps you can take:
● There a numerous websites that you can sign up to that
offer paid forum posting jobs. All you have to do is create
an account and they will give you a list of forums that you
can participate in. As soon as you have reached a certain
number of posts (determined by them), you will get paid.

Here are some of the best sites you can sign up with:
Paid Forum Posting - this website specializes in creating
content for websites and offers forum posting jobs for
members worldwide. You must be 18+ to apply.
Experience is recommended, but not necessary. However
you must be able to write and speak English fluently and

PostLoop – Postloop is another popular forum posting site.
You can earn money for posting on forums and blogs here.
To get accepted, you will need to submit 5 sample posts.
One benefit of this site is that you can get paid daily, you
only need to reach $5 (equivalent to 100 points) to get
paid via Paypal. Open to people Worldwide.
Professional Forum Posters – This site is another great
place to make money posting on forums. The pay is around
$0.25 a post.
Forums First – Similar to Postloop, you have to submit 5
sample posts before you are accepted as a writer.
If you choose to do forum posting, the owner may let you
have a "signature" link, which is basically free ad-space
below all of your forum posts. You can use this to send
traffic to your own websites.
● Browse through freelancing sites such as Freelancer.com,
Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.
- Apply for the forum posting jobs on those sites.
- Respond back to the buyer on time if you are called for
an interview.

- Agree on the pay per post and the deadline.
- Get the job done within the accepted deadline.
● Browse job websites such as Indeed, SimplyHired and
Monster Jobs for forum posting jobs.
How much can I make out of forum posting?
For each forum post you make, the general prices range
anywhere from $0.10 to $0.50 per post. If you have time
to devote to this during the day and are able to make
between 200 to 500 posts (depending on how much your
job is worth), then you can earn $100 a day.
2. Chat and Forum Moderator
As long as chat rooms and forums exist, moderators will
also need to exist.
That's because website owners need people to delete
negative comments, make sure things are running
smoothly and forum users are getting their comments and
questions responded to.
To become a moderator, you would need to regularly
monitor comments posted by users, delete spam, answer
questions from users, and reply to user messages. You
would also need to encourage threads, add new content to
the site and block comments posted by people who ignore
the forums rules.
If you have an interest in certain forums, this could be very
fun and interesting job for you to do. Just like forum
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
posting, you also have the potential to learn a lot.
A forum moderator will need good people skills, possess
good grammar and should communicate well via the
written word, be efficient with a computer, and can sit for
long periods of time, often checking the forum until their
help is needed.
Most of the job listings will describe their technical
requirements, but most of them will require you to have
your own computer with an internet connection.
Getting a job as a forum moderator may be as simple as
applying for a position on a job search website, or it may
require being part of an active online community until
you've earned a respected place in it.
Often, you can do some research into the communities
you're a part of and see if they have any openings on their
"Careers" tab.
In order to become a forum moderator, here are some
steps you can take:
● Post a profile on freelancing sites such as Freelancer.com,
Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.
Describe your interests and your level of expertise. You can
also search for forum moderator jobs on the same
freelancing sites, and apply for them.
● Google forum moderation job openings. If there are
forums you’re interested in, check with the owner.
Examples of search phrases you can use are "forum
administrator," "forum moderator," and "forum leader."
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● A lot of people don’t post on freelancing sites but rather
prefer to hire people who already post a lot on their forum.
Participating in online forums will allow you to become
familiar with the forum environment, and can help you
develop an online presence.
If you are always posting on a particular forum and helping
others, the people in charge may notice and invite you to
become a moderator when an opening is available.
Providing helpful information and knowledge an
demonstrate your experience with the forum topic, and can
make you a valuable asset to the community.
● Browse job search websites such as Indeed, SimplyHired
and Monster Jobs for forum moderator job openings.
● Search for forums on Google that you are interested in
and contact the owner for possible job openings. Find out
how they tend to hire. Be prepared to share some writing
samples, particularly on the theme of that website.
How much can I make from moderating forums?
Pay can range from minimum wage to $15-$17 an hour.
Some jobs pay for the entire time you are monitoring the
forums, while others may only pay you when you respond
to issues that come up in a work queue (meaning that you
can be away from the community until you are called in).
3. Article Writing
If you are a decent writer, you can earn good money by
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
writing articles for people with blogs or websites.
Many website owners need to keep their sites current and
up-to-date to remain popular and keep visitors returning,
but don't have the time to keep creating new content for
them. Because of this problem, they hire people who can
write on their behalf.
In fact, there's thousands of writing opportunities online,
many of which pay well.
It’s knowing how to find the best potential markets,
delivering writing that works well online, and growing initial
assignments into ongoing relationships that can set you
apart from other writers.
A good article writer will need to possess good grammar
and should communicate well via the written word.
In order for you to become a content writer, here are some
steps you can take:
● Spend some time learning how to research and write a
quality article. Here's a great article on how to write an
effective article:
http://www.blogher.com/how-write-howto-12-stepswriting-it-better
● Post a profile on freelancing sites such as Freelancer.com,
Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.
Describe your interests and your levels of expertise. Look
for article writing jobs on the same freelancing sites and
apply for them.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Email the owners of websites that you already like and
check if they are looking for writers.
● Submit your articles to revenue-sharing websites, where
they will pay you a certain amount for every view or ad
click from your post.
Here are 2 of the top revenue-sharing sites:
Hubpages
This site is really simple to use: all you have to do is join
and upload your first article!
You’ll need to have your article approved, but as long as
it's 700+ words and free from grammatical and spelling
errors, then there shouldn't be a problem.
The only drawback is that you need to apply for your own
Google AdSense account to get paid. But don't worry, it
only takes a few minutes to get one.
Textbroker
Textbroker has a few more hurdles than some of the other
sites on this list. It’s only open to U.S. citizens, and you’ll
need to submit a sample article when you register.
They will then review your sample article and give you a
rating between 2 to 5 stars.
You can earn anywhere from $0.007 to $0.05 a word,
depending on your rating. The minimum payment is $10 by
PayPal.
● Lastly, you can post article to sites that will pay you on a
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
per-article-basis. One of the most popular sites is iWriter.
Their rate is around $1.25 for a 150-word article, and their
minimum payout is $20.
One downside is that clients on iWriter do not have to
approve your article — if they reject it, you won't get paid.
Typically you'll get around 80-90% of your articles
approved while the other 10-20% will require some
editing.
Delivering high quality content will help you earn more
money on this site. After you've received 4-star reviews for
30 articles, you'll become a premium writer (doubling your
pay), and when you hit 30 articles with 4.5 star reviews,
you'll get triple the pay and be an elite writer.
How much can I make out of article writing?
Content writing jobs can pay anywhere from $1 to $100+
based on the length of the article, quality and your
expertise. If you're already an expert on the topic you're
writing about, you can often charge a premium.
Even if you are new to writing, you can make upwards of
$.50 for each 100 words you write.
4. Blogging
If there’s something that you're really passionate about,
you can create a blog where you can talk about it regularly.
This is a fun way in which you can share your passions
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
while learning and teaching about what you’re already
excited about with like-minded people.
In order to become a blogger, you would need to be a
decent writer with the ability to write interesting, thoughtprovoking or entertaining content. You would also need to
be able to post fairly regularly to your blog so that it can
grow and build a strong following.
Blogs can make you money in several ways.
Just some of the ways are to have people pay you to post
their advertisements by using a service such as
BuySellAds.com (this is best for blogs with a lot of traffic),
or by putting Google AdSense ads on your blog. With this
option, Google will pay you each time someone clicks on
their advertisements on your blog.
The amount of money you can earn per click will depend
upon the topic of your blog and the competitiveness in the
marketplace for advertising in your certain niche.
A third option is to sell affiliate products related to the
topic of your blog. If for example you had a blog about
weight loss, you could locate a weight loss product that has
an affiliate program, which you can find at Clickbank.com,
and either put banners up on your blog, or promote it to
your newsletter if you're collecting the email addresses of
your visitors.
In order for you to become a Blogger, here are some steps
you can take:
● First, you will need to choose a blogging platform. The
most common, and the one I highly recommend is
Wordpress.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Next, decide if you want a free account at Wordpress.com
or if you would rather host the blog on your own domain (if
you purchase a domain, your blog could be something like
www.yourpassion.com, whereas a free account would look
like www.yourpassion.wordpress.com).
Most people choose to buy a domain so that their blog
appears more professional and so that they have more
control and ownership. If you choose this option, you'll
need to sign up with a hosting company (I recommend
HostGator – their plans are as low as $4.95 a month), and
then have your own domain connected to the hosting
company.
This may sound difficult but it’s actually very easy, and
HostGator’s customer support can help you with any
questions.
HostGator actually make it very easy to install a Wordpress
blog to your website in about 5 minutes or less with their
"1-click" Wordpress installation option found inside your
control panel.
Here's a video tutorial showing you just how easy it is to
install Wordpress with HostGator:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmFd4nh1h4A
● After your blog has been created, you can decorate it
however you would like (Wordpress calls your blog layout a
"theme".)
Here is a video tutorial showing how to change and edit
your Wordpress theme:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ClkSIMKycI
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● After you have your new blog looking how you like, you
can then start posting news, lessons, stories, articles or
anything relevant to your blog.
Here's a video tutorial showing how to make new posts to
your Wordpress blog:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX0DMAjtZZg
● Try to add new content as frequently as possible so that
you build up a regular readership base.
● As Google and other search engines discover your blog,
you should start to see more visitors coming in to your
blog as they find you via searches related to your blog
topic.
To get more free visitors from the search engines, your
posts should contain keywords that people regularly search
for on Google.
To see what people are searching for in your niche, you can
use the Google Keyword Planner. Simply type in the topic
of your blog and it will show you the most popular and
searched for keywords.
Sprinkling these keywords within your posts will help
Google understand what your blog is about and hopefully
you'll start to see a flow of traffic to your site.
It can take time to grow your blog organically, so you
should do everything you can to help bring in new visitors.
● Some other ideas to get more visitors are to post your
new blog posts in Facebook groups related to your niche so
people can share it around.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Another option is to comment on established blogs related
to yours so that their readers can click on the website link
in your comments and visit your blog.
How much can I make out of blogging?
It can take some time to establish a blog, but the profit
potentials can be quite large. Some people have sold their
blogs for millions of dollars.
Your earnings will vary based on the amount of traffic you
get, how interesting your content is, how often you post,
and the types of advertisements you put on your blog.
5. Guest Writer
Individual bloggers, big companies – they're all using guest
blogging. This creates new opportunities for you to make a
living as a writer.
Similar to article writing, website owners will usually need
specific experts to create new content for their websites.
They might not know enough about a certain topic, or want
to have someone else’s insight.
If you are knowledgeable or an expert in any particular
field, you can make some really good money by guest
writing and offering your wisdom and insights.
Even if you are not an expert, if you can spend enough
time to create a well-researched piece of content it will
have a good chance of being accepted.
This is one of the easiest and fastest ways to get exposure
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
online through leveraging other people’s established
audiences.
There are generally 2 ways to make money with guest
writing.
1. You can get paid directly per guest post you write.
2. You can submit your content for free as long as it
includes a resource box. You can use the resource box to
promote any website of yours or even promote an affiliate
product.
It can also help you become "known" in a market, it can
help build a brand, it can help with SEO, and it can be used
as a medium to write quality content to represent your
brand.
In order for you to become a guest writer, here are some
steps you can take:
● Establish yourself as an expert in your niche by posting
on forums in your area of interest. Sometimes, people will
just ask if you're interested in creating content for them.
● You can also write to website and forum owners and let
them know what your expertise is and that you'd be
interested in creating content for them should they be
interested.
Many websites have a "write for us" link on their site which
lists what they are looking for and how to submit your
content to them for review.
A good way to find blogs to guest post on is using the Blog
Search Engine. It's a search engine just like Google, but
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
shows only blog results.
● When you get a writing job, make sure your content is
written and submitted as early as possible. If you establish
a good reputation, you can get references for other sites
and hopefully end up writing for more.
● Believe it or not, one of the best ways to get more guest
writing jobs is by guest posting! Think about it, what better
way to hire someone to guest blog for you than to find
them through a guest post on another popular blog?
● Here's a list of websites that will pay you $50 or more for
every article that you write for them:
TheKrazyCouponLady.com – $50
The KCL contributor network is a new way for stay-athome moms, working women and men-who-are-in-touchwith-their-money-saving-side to share their expertise with
KCL's audience of millions. Earn money by submitting
original, engaging content that helps others learn to save
money!
WritersWeekly.com – $60
Writers Weekly is a freelance writing ezine and hub for all
things writing. They pay $60 for feature articles that are
around 600 words and $40 for sharing your writing success
story (~300 words).
TutsPlus.com – $50
Tuts+ is a tutorial site with thousands of videos, articles,
and tutorials to help people learn new skills. If the editor
chooses to publish your article you will be paid at the
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
beginning of the month after your article is accepted.
MakeaLivingWriting.com – $50
Another writing blog. Topics include blogging, time
management, and how to find writing jobs.
How much can I make from being a guest writer?
Depending on the length of the piece of content you create
and the obscurity of the topic, you can make anywhere
from $25 to $200 each time you write.
Some blogs have 1,000,000's of visitors a month and can
send you a large amount of traffic to your websites and
offers which can result in numerous sales.
6. Podcasting
Podcasting is quite similar to blogging, but you do it via
your voice instead of typing or writing.
Podcasts are digital media files (most often mp3 audio),
which are typically produced in a series. Listeners can
subscribe to your podcasts by using software called a
podcatcher.
Podcasting can be used for:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Informational content.
Music.
Talk Shows.
Training.
Story telling.

Many people consider podcasting as an alternative to
commercial radio and TV, because of the low cost of
producing a podcast which allows more voices and
viewpoints to be heard.
You would get the exact same benefits and you should
approach it the same way as Blogging, but it's simply a
way to suit people who would prefer talking versus writing.
Plus, the other benefit to podcasts is they can be heard
while driving, jogging or at times when it is impossible to
read.
To get started podcasting, you will need a few basic bits of
equipment such as a headphone, microphone, and
software with which to record your audio files.
You can make decent money with podcasting in exactly the
same way you would with blogging – via advertisements
and by recommending affiliate products directly in your
podcast that offer commissions.
Another more lucrative way to get paid to podcast is with
sponsorships. This is the way most prominent podcasters
are monetizing their podcast these days. With this method,
you simply promote your sponsor and get paid directly
from them.
The most important number to sponsors isn't actually the
size of your audience, but how engaged your audience is
and how likely they are to take action on the sponsors
message from the presenter.
In order for you to become a paid podcaster, here are
some steps you can take:
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Create a website or blog with which to put your podcasts
on.
● Plan out and record your content – you can use a good
free recording program called Audacity if you don't already
have something else.
● Create or convert your recordings to mp3 format.
Upload your mp3 files along with good a description to
your website.
Now you can start sharing it with your friends, on social
media etc.
Remember to add content as frequently as possible so that
you can build up a regular listener base and potentially find
those sponsorship deals.
● There are many great tutorials out there that show you
how to do each of these steps in-depth.
Cliff Ravenscraft, aka the Podcast Man has a free video
series, "Learn How To Podcast 101", which is a video
tutorial with more than 120 minutes of instruction that will
help you lay a solid foundation for setting up a podcast for
future success. This podcasting tutorial will give you all the
building blocks to help you understand what is needed to
launch your podcast business properly.
Another really great free resource can be found at
http://howtopodcasttutorial.com/. They provide
information of setting up a podcast, as well as detailed
guides on promoting and making money with your
podcasts.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Here are some more ways to monetize your podcasts:
● You can ask for donations. Don't expect to make too
much money with this method though.
● Give some quality information away free, charge for the
rest. One popular method being used today is to offer
every 2nd podcast for free and charge a monthly fee for
the rest.
● Allow listeners to partially listen to your show for free
and pay for full access. With this method you could offer
the first 10-20 minutes of your podcast for free and charge
for the rest.
● Build your brand to sell your own products and services.
If you run your own business you can promote those on
your podcasts.
How much can I make podcasting?
It can take some time to establish a decent podcast
audience, but the profit potentials can be quite large if you
become popular.
Your earnings will vary based on the amount of listeners
you get, how interesting your content is, how often you
podcast, and the types of advertisements you offer.
7. Online Counselor
Many people prefer to go online looking for counseling
rather than meeting a counselor in person. The counseling
session can occur via e-mail, video conferencing, online
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
chat or even internet phone.
They feel they can be a little more anonymous that way,
and there's also the convenience of not needing to drive
anywhere which is a bonus.
If you have the skills and ability to counsel people
effectively, this could be an ideal online job for you. You
don't need to have any special degree, although it would
obviously give you a competitive advantage.
People who make good counselors are usually those who
are interested in psychology, self-awareness as well as selfimprovement, and also have a strong desire to help others
with their problems. A good listening ear also helps.
If you're interested in becoming an online counselor, you
should first check the laws in your state or Country to
determine the requirements for becoming a counselor.
Learn more about who is qualified to provide mental health
care online in this article on the qualifications of online
therapists.
In order to become an online counselor, here are some
steps you can take:
● Create a website that lists your current qualifications and
how you are able to help people. If you do not have a
degree or other qualifications to prescribe things to people,
let them know.
Many people actually just want to pay you to listen to them
so they have a safe place where they can vent their
frustrations. Just be sure not to overstep what you're
legally allowed to say and do.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Once you have a website, you can start advertising it on
social networks, amongst friends, in local newspapers and
with pay-per-click marketing such as Google Adwords and
Bing Ads.
Something even as simple as placing an ad in the Yellow
Pages or local newspapers can be an effective way to
generate new business. If you're having trouble with your
marketing and getting new clients, you could even consider
hiring an outside consultant to help grow your business.
● Once you start taking new clients, you will start to build
up your customer base and see repeat appointments.
When first starting out, you should start collecting
testimonials from the people you help and then put those
testimonials on your website to build your credibility. If you
can get a audio or video testimonial, even better.
● There are numerous websites and colleges which offer
online counseling courses that you can use to enhance
your skills and credibility. Here are a couple of the most
popular ones:
- Blackford Centre for Counseling
They give you the tools and techniques you need to help
people as a counselor. The course is full of activities,
suggestions, tips and ideas that you can instantly use with
your clients.
They also explain how to set up your own counseling
practice. They even show you how to launch and market it,
and how to get clients. You'd be surprised how many
courses don't cover this adequately.
- The Institute of Counseling
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
According to their website, the course you choose will
extend your natural talents and make you a more effective
counselor or carer. Your interpersonal skills - like those of
listening, understanding and empathizing - will be explored
and developed so that the help and support you ultimately
give will be effective. Remember - wherever the problems
and concerns of people are involved, just a small change
can make a vital difference.
- Online Counseling College
The Online Counseling College offers opportunities for
professional development and personal growth. All of their
courses are available to first time students as well as to
experienced practitioners.
How much can I make out of being an online counselor?
Depending on your skill level and reputation, you can make
anywhere from $25-$200 an hour and upwards.
Just like real-world counseling, the salaries of online
counselors can vary quite a lot depending on your location
and qualifications. If you're starting out in the field, you
shouldn’t expect to be making as much as someone who
has 5-10 years of experience, who might make upwards of
$100,000 annually.
Rather, you can expect to make anywhere between
$30,000 and $50,000 annually. If you are working
independently as an online counselor, you have the power
to set the prices for your services, which means you will
have at least a little more control over your income than
someone working for an organization.

8. Online Translation
Imagine for a moment that you've written an article, a
book, or even created a video. You made it in your native
language; but you’d like people in other parts of the world
to access it.
You will need to hire someone who speaks your own
language and your targeted language fluently. It is where
translation jobs come in handy; and you can make money
from it as a freelance translator online.
Especially if you know one of the languages which are in
huge demand right now including German, Japanese and
Chinese.
If you want to be a translator professionally, you should
consider taking a language proficiency test such as the
Defense Language Proficiency Test (DLPT) or other
language proficiency tests to show potential clients that
you are indeed fluent in your specific languages.
Like most online work, gaining experience is essential. If
you're enrolled at or live near a college, you could take
classes in translation and look for opportunities to perform
translation work on campus for various departments. It is
crucial to get experience where you can show samples of
your work to potential clients and get recommendations.
In order for you to become a freelance online translator,
here are some steps you can take:
● Post a profile on freelancing sites such as Freelancer.com,
Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Describe your interests and your levels of expertise. Look
for translation jobs on the same freelancing sites and apply
for them.
● There are many sites which provide translation services
exclusively. You can submit your known languages and get
hired through any of those sites as well.
Here are some of the top online translation companies:
Translators Cafe
This website is one of the best when it comes to finding
translation jobs. You upload your CV, choose your rates per
language combination, upload a profile picture and
describe your specialization as well as any other services
you offer (such as subtitling, editing, interpreting,
localization, transcriptions, etc.).
The best feature of this website is their job board. Every
day, new translation jobs with your language combinations
are posted and you can then contact the agency or the
person that placed the ad.
Translators Town
Translators Town is basically a bidding site similar to the
freelancing sites above with the only difference being that
it's specifically for translation services.
The size of the jobs available will vary from client to client
– like all the other bidding-type sites. There are even small
jobs where the client may only want a photo caption
translated. Then there are the larger translation jobs where
the client may need a book translated into another
language.

Proz
Proz.com is generally meant for professional translators
with good experience, but there are also amateur
translators as well. Registration takes no longer than a
couple of minutes and then you will be ready to bid on
their translation jobs. To bid, you will need to pay 1 USD
per bid. It's a good idea to deposit a few dollars into your
account when starting.
This site allows the employer to contact the freelancers
directly and all payments are direct too, so there are no
fees, except the bidding fee, which is quite low. With
bigger projects I would recommend some kind of
guarantee of payment from the employer for protection
unless they are very reputable.
TRADUguide
TRADUguide is another great platform where translators
and their clients can meet. Their automatic job notification
service lets you receive translation requests in your chosen
language pairs and specializations directly to your email.
Bidding on a job is as simple as clicking the link in the
notification email and you will be brought to a form page
where you can enter your bid or price quote. Should the
client agree to your quote, they will contact you directly.
Everything else, including payment is up to you and your
client to agree upon.
How much can I get paid for online translation jobs?
● You can get paid anywhere from $0.01 upward per word
depending on the demand for the language pair you
specialize in. If the number of translators for the language
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
are scarce, then you can charge a higher rate per word.
9. Service Reselling
Many companies and individuals look to hire people in
order to help them expand their online presence, to
manage their blogs or forums, or to help assist them with
other time-consuming tasks.
If you are good at managing small groups of people, you
can act as an "agent" for a team of specialized outsourcers.
You would do this by identifying people that can do certain
work, and then advertise their services to online
businesses via your own sales website.
In order to make money, you would simply mark up the
price on the fee of the outsourcers so you can make a
profit.
For example, you could offer article writing services on
your website for $8 each, but then go pay an outsourcer
that you've found $4 to write the actual article for you.
Your goal would be to find a good selection of outsourcers
that you can rely on and who can deliver quality work. One
way to check is to simply order their services as a
customer to check the quality.
Running this type of business can save people a lot of time.
If for example, you built a service based around content
creation, a website owner only needs to access your
website and order their desired content.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
If they were to go to a freelancing site, they would have to
submit their requirements, wait for outsources to place
bids, then they would have to screen all the bids and then
finally choose someone to do the work.
If they have large volumes of work that needs to be done
they might need more than one worker which makes the
task of vetting outsourcers even more stressful and timeconsuming.
That's where a service like yours would come in handy for
busy business owners, especially if they can come to trust
your work.
When choosing people to work with, it's important that you
only work with outsourcers that you know and trust. If you
deliver bad quality content or services to your customers
the chances are they won't return for repeat work and
might even leave you bad reviews.
Some of the most popular services that you can build a
website for are SEO, content creation, banner design and
website design.
A great place to look for ideas are at Fiverr.com. You'll find
literally thousands of services being offered there and at
really cheap prices that you could easily mark-up.
In order for you to become an outsourcing middle-man,
here are some steps you can take:
● Browse through freelancing sites such as Freelancer.com,
Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc. to find people that you can
hire.
● Check the quality of their work by making an order as a
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
customer or by asking for samples of previous work.
● Consider working with outsourcers outside of freelancing
sites to avoid unnecessary fees. Freelancing sites help
protect buyers and sellers but if you establish good
relationships with your workers then that won't be an issue
and you can work with them directly.
If your business becomes successful enough, you may
even consider hiring the outsourcers on a full-time or
hourly basis.
● Create a professional looking website where you lay out
the service/s you offer, as well as your prices and
turnaround times. Include lots of testimonials as soon as
you receive them.
● Start advertising your site on places such as Google
Adwords and Bing Ads and websites and forums where
your service would be desirable.
● Start building up your customer base. Do a great job,
again this would come down to you selecting a team of
workers that deliver high quality work and start collecting
testimonials from the people you help.
How much money can I make out of being an outsourcing
middle-man?
A lot of how much you can make depends on the type of
services you offer, how many clients you can handle
simultaneously, and how well you can market your
services.

10. Employee Referral Programs
There are many companies out there that are willing to pay
you a hefty referral bonus if you can help bring their
business qualified new employees.
If you have relationships with any recruiters or happen to
know a lot of people, this could be a simple method for you
to earn some extra money for very little effort.
Even if you don't know many people, you can even use the
internet to find hundreds of potential prospects that you
can refer to these companies.
Currently, one of the most likely professions to offer
bonuses are in the IT industry because of their highdemand. This can offer a great opportunity for you because
you can find an abundance of IT professionals online who
are looking for work.
In order to become an employee referrer, here are some
simple steps that you can take:
● You might be surprised to know that more companies
have referral programs than not, which can open up a lot
of opportunities for you to find them employees. If you're
not sure if a company has a referral program, all you have
to do is give them call and find out. Be sure to inquire
about any conditions they have before bonuses are paid
out.
● A couple of good examples of online companies that offer
referral bonuses are HubSpot and Atlassian. Both of these
companies offer a massive $30,000 and $2,000 referral
bonus respectively.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
The best part is those bonuses are not restricted to current
employees. Anyone can make a referral and be eligible for
the cash payouts. You will however, need to check with
each company for any conditions that need to be met
before a referral payout is made.
● If you currently work with a company that has a referral
program that would be one of the best places to start.
Companies tend to heavily favor referrals from people who
already work for their company so your chances of success
will be much higher.
● Check with people in your network and see if any of them
are looking for a job.
● Go to freelancing sites such as Freelancer.com,
Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc., and browse through some of
the profiles of people working on those sites. Start
communicating with people who have good ratings,
qualifications and sound good, and ask them if they would
be interested in a more regular job.
● When you locate prospects, you can then refer them to
the HR of the company you are working with. If they get
hired, you will get paid.
● Another option is to build relationships with other
recruiters. By doing this, you can get their lists of current
job openings where the companies are desperate for new
employees. This type of relationship can turn out to be
very lucrative.
● Use JobHubble.com. JobHubble is an online recruiting
platform that's made specifically for companies seeking
new employees through referrals sharing their jobs online
via social media channels.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
JobHubble helps companies increase their social exposure
by tapping into networks of recruiters with established
social networks and who are willing to share their job
openings online.
When a person gets hired for a position, the social recruiter
will earn a cash reward.
All you would have to do is share the job openings on your
social media networks and get in touch with friends and
other potential clients you've found with other methods
discussed in this article. If any company hires someone
through any of your referrals, you'll get paid.
Another way to make money with JobHubble is to post the
job openings in other channels such as online classified ads
websites including CraigsList and ClassifiedAds.com.
● If you have your own blog or website, you could try this
new approach from JobCoin where you would place their
"jobs board" widget on your site.
JobCoin acts as the middleman for companies looking for
more exposure for their job openings. By embedding their
job board on your website, you can offer your readers a
useful job hunting tool and earn money at the same time.
So how much could you make from being an employee
referrer?
Bonuses can range anywhere from as little as $50 all the
way up to $10,000's. Some companies are now starting to
offer other rewards rather than just money too. How much
you can get paid will depend on the type of position
needed. The more qualifications the person needs and the
more the job pays, the more you will get paid.

11. Website Broker
There are many people who are interested in buying
websites online and the marketplace is huge. They want to
buy these sites because they have already been
established and already produce income which means they
don't have to do the groundwork on their own or because
they see a potential for growth and higher profits on these
sites.
There are also a lot of people who want to or would be
willing to sell their websites to others but simply don't
know how. This can be an extremely lucrative business to
get involved in if you can find a good supply of buyers and
sellers.
Just like a real estate agent, as a website broker, you
would be able to connect buyers with sellers and claim a
percentage of the transaction for making the connection
possible.
As a broker, it's your job to review and screen the sites you
are going to offer for sale, to make sure the figures and all
other statistics, such as website traffic and monthly income
are genuine.
You might also have to help the seller determine the value
of their website, assist in the negotiation of the sale and
then take care of all the post-sales support and
transactions.
In order to become a website broker, here are some steps
you can take:
● Create a site that outlines the basics of what you offer.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
As soon as you find some buyers and sellers who are
interested in your service, begin updating your website
showing what websites are available as well as what your
buyers are looking for. One important thing to remember is
to never put the seller's contact info on your website,
otherwise potential buyers could try to cut you out and
bypass your commission.
● You can find people who are interested in buying and
selling websites by going to the biggest existing brokerage
sites such as flippa.com, websitebroker.com and
BuySellWebsite.com. Anyone who has their websites listed
on any of these sites would more than likely want
additional help and exposure and you can propose to list
their website on your platform too.
● Visit websites such as TB Solutions and analyze some of
the sites that are for sale there. You can also make some
pricing requests. You should get good at identifying
websites that have a high Google ranking and other good
metrics that have value such as Domain Authority, Trust
Flow and good backlink profiles.
By using those types of sites to buy websites with high PR
and other good metrics, you can get them developed into
professional and attractive websites and then sell them for
a much higher price.
● Another great way to attract buyers to your website is to
advertise on pay-per-click advertising platforms such as
Google Adwords and Bing Ads. By doing this, you can have
your website show up in the sponsored listings whenever
someone does a search for "websites for sale" or other
related keywords to your business.
● Never give out sensitive website details to potential
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
buyers until you get signed paperwork stating that they
won't go around you, and so forth.
● If a deal is made, the payment can be sent to you where
you can collect your commission and forward the
remainder of the money to the seller.
● Another bonus tip I can offer you here is to let the buyer
come up with starting price. If a buyer send you a request
for info on a particular website for sale you just have to ask
them: How much is this website worth to you? This simple
strategy can make a huge difference to the closing sale
price.
So how much can I make from being a website broker?
How much you make depends on the value of the site that
you are selling. This could range anywhere from $100 well
into the millions of dollars for large websites.
As a website broker you can typically charge 10% of the
gross sale price for websites valued over $25,000 and 15%
for websites under $25,000.
You will also be able to earn more as your negotiation skills
improve. As you get a better understanding of the value of
websites, you will be better equipped to justify the value of
websites you are selling to your potential prospects.
12. Forum Posting Service
Many website owners are looking for people that can post
in their forums. They do this to help their forum grow and
so it looks active and popular. This encourages members to
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
come back more frequently.
In a previous method, I showed you where and how to
make money by posting in forums yourself and getting
paid directly. That method works great for smaller websites
who are only looking to hire a couple of people, but
sometimes, they want to hire many people at one time, so
hiring a lot of individual forum posters is a bit of a hassle
and time-consuming.
This is where a forum posting service can come in handy. If
you are able to pool together a team of 3-5 good forum
posters, you will then be able to offer a "one-stop" solution
where the forum owner will simply pay you and you take
care of managing and paying your other team members.
The advantage for forum owners to use your service is that
it can save them a lot of time and money because you can
provide bulk discounts.
Your team will generally have to create unique, thoughtprovoking and authentic posts and replies on your clients
forum.
In order to start your own forum posting service, here are
some steps you can take:
● Create a website that lists your services and research
your competitors. Some good examples of established sites
that you can model are Paid Forum Posting and Forums
First.
You should check out these websites and have a look at
their posting plans. Compare how many posts that are
offering and at what prices. As you begin, you may want to
consider having lower prices until you start to become
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
more established.
However, you still want to make sure you can make a small
profit especially if you will be hiring other writers to help
you with your business.
● You can find forum posters to hire on any of the big
freelancing sites out there such as Freelancer.com,
Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.
● Another great place to not only find workers but also to
advertise your services is on Fiverr.com.
You will need to occasionally check the work of your team
to make sure they are doing a good job and actually
earning their money. A couple things you will want to keep
an eye on are quality, grammar, spelling as well as
duplicate content.
● You can approach webmasters with forums that look
inactive and small and ask if they need your services. You
could even offer them free sample postings. You should
also ask forum owners what posting services they have
used in the past, which ones they liked and most
importantly, why they liked them more than others.
● Consider posting for free at first. As your service will be
brand-new you aren't going to have a lot of reputation in
the marketplace. You should consider giving away some of
your smaller packages away possibly in exchange for
testimonials.
● Sign up with the big webmaster forums to advertise your
forum posting plans. You could start out by giving 1 of your
plans away each day to build up some credibility and to get
some reviews.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
How much can you make from running your own forum
posting service?
How much you can make will mostly depend on what you
will charge your clients and how much you have decided to
pay your workers, but you could easily make $100/day by
doing this after getting enough clients.
13. Referral Exchanges
There are numerous programmers, coders, writers and
other professionals out there who take in a lot of individual
projects from clients.
There are times when these workers have too much work
to do and so they can't take on any new projects and have
to pass up on them.
The good news is you can create a relationship with these
people whereby you would take on some or all of their
excess work, which you could either do yourself or
outsource to other people for some extra money.
On the other hand, if you have too much work that you
can't handle, you could also refer it to others and charge
them a fee for your referral.
It doesn't matter which way you choose to do this, because
you can profit both ways.
It's said that in business, there's only one kind of lead that
you should be interested in. Only one kind of lead that
really counts. Only one kind of lead you should care about.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
That's white-hot leads, the kind you get through referrals
from trusted partners.
Getting a referral means receiving a personal introduction
to your prospect. This is exactly the kind of person you
want to deal with-someone who is expecting your call and
wants to do business with you.
It would be great to get all of your business from these
referrals because let's face it, who wouldn't rather take a
sales call than making one. You would save a lot of time
and close business deals faster.
"The most effective, productive way to build a business is
through referrals," Joanne Black, the owner of No More
Cold Calling™ insists. "People do business with people and
that is built on relationships." She says that referral selling
has a minimum of a 50 percent conversion rate; with many
reporting up to a 70 - 90 percent conversion rate.
In order for you to make money with referral exchanges,
here are some steps you can take:
● Register with some of the referral exchange forums and
websites.
● Locate people who are able to take on any last minute
work.
● Look for people who are in your industry and regularly
accept work.
● Decide on how much you will pay people for giving you
work as well as how much to charge for giving work to
others.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● It's important that you always do a great job as well as
only refer people who you can trust. This will ensure that
you grow and don't hurt your reputation.
● Give thanks - Remember to thank your referral source for
making the referral, regardless of the outcome. Keeping in
touch with your referral sources over time will ensure you
have a great source for further referrals.
How much money can be made from referral exchanges?
The amount of profit you get will vary based on how much
you are charging for referring work and what you are
willing to pay people for giving you references. You need to
take into account how much you will be charging to do the
actual work. It's quite possible to make $100 a day with
this method, as soon as you build up a decent partner
base.
14. Buying And Selling Backlinks
To get a higher ranking in the search engines such as
Google, many people and SEO (search engine optimization)
experts think that they need to get high quality backlinks
from other websites pointing to their own sites.
A backlinks is basically just a clickable link on one person's
website that points to another website.
When Google finds these links, it counts as a kind of vote
for the site being linked to. Google feels that if a website is
worth linking to, it must have some importance and value
and therefore it should be given more preference in it's
rankings.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Most searches will return hundreds or even thousands of
results, and most people are not going to click on your
website if it's 247th in the list. You need your website to
appear towards the top of the list, preferably in the top 5
listings. In other words, if you want traffic, you need good
search engine rankings for popular words.
Every website owner knows that if you have a higher
placement in the search engines then you'll get more
website visitors to your site which ultimately means more
money.
There are only three ways for people to get backlinks. You
can build them manually, get them organically or you can
buy them. To build them manually, you could comment on
blog posts, post on forums, write articles and guest posts,
or searching the internet for relevant sites and asking for a
link.
Building backlinks manually is definitely worthwhile, but it
can be incredibly frustrating and time-consuming.
Since there is such a huge demand for people wanting to
buy more backlinks that will improve their rankings, you
can profit from this by acting as a middle-man between
people who are offering to sell their links as well as people
who are looking to buy them.
In order to buy and sell website links, here are some steps
you can take:
● You can find people who are interested in buying and
selling links in forums that are dedicated to the topic such
as linkadage.com, Webmastersun.com and SEO Mastering.
Become aware of the guidelines for buying and selling links
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
on each individual forum and get familiar with the pricing
of links.
● Market valuable links that are in demand (links that have
high Page Rank on Google or other valuable metrics such
as domain authority and trust flow.)
For a more in-depth look at what makes a valuable
backlink, you should check out this article at SEO Mark.
● You could also create a website that lists all your links
available as well as links wanted by your buyers.
● Start advertising your site on social networks, amongst
friends, or via other traffic methods such as pay-per-click
advertising on Google Adwords and Bing Ads as well as the
forums I mentioned above.
● If you have links to sell in a particular niche, you could
browse the search listing for sites that are on page 2+ of
Google's search results and contact the owner and see if
they are interested in improving their rankings with your
links.
How much money can I make out of buying and selling
links?
How much you make will depend on how much you charge
for connecting buyers and sellers. You can also buy links on
your own and then charge others a higher price by
reselling them. You can make anywhere from $1 or even
up to $1000 or more per link, depending on how valuable it
is.

15. Resell SSL Certificates
SSL certificates are something which websites require to
prove that their website is secure. The SSL certificate is
"signed" digitally by a trusted authority that has verified
the identity of the website owner.
In more technical terms, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
Certificates are small data files that digitally bind a
cryptographic key to an organization's details.
When the certificate is installed on a web server, it
activates the padlock icon in your web browser and the
https protocol and allows a secure connection between a
web server to a browser.
When people visit your website, they want to know it is
safe and secure before they will submit any sensitive
information such as credit card or personal details, so
websites that deal with e-commerce especially need SSL
certificates.
It's also possible to partner with any of the companies that
provide SSL certificates and then resell them on their
behalf. By doing this, you will either get a discount on the
certificates, or you will get other incentives based on the
amount of sales you make. Some examples of the kinds of
incentives you can receive are here.
For web hosting providers, reselling SSL Certificates makes
perfect sense. You already sell your customers website
hosting and other ecommerce solutions so why not offer
them the opportunity to secure their website as well? Many
website owners buy an SSL Certificate for their site
eventually, so being able to check one more thing off of
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
their list would be an easy way to earn additional income.
To start reselling SSL certificates, here are some steps you
can take:
● Do a search and come up with a list of places that offer
SSL certificates.
Some of the most popular places include:
Namecheap - The more business you do with Namecheap,
the cheaper your prices get. Their SSL Reseller program
has 4 pricing levels. Each level has it's qualifying threshold.
GeoTrust - GeoTrust is the world's second largest SSL
authority and considered a trusted brand for internet
security. They offer many different purchasing options such
as bulk discounts and a pay-as-you-go program.
Digicert - With this company you don't actually need to buy
certificates to sell them. There is no investment and no
risk; your visitors and customers purchase the certificates,
not you, and then you get a commission. That means zero
liability for you as a partner.
Another great feature of the Digicert program is that when
a customer purchases an SSL Certificate from you the
customer is yours for life. As long as you remain an
authorized partner then you'll receive royalty payments for
your customer's renewals.
● Another options is to partner with SSLGuru or The SSL
Store because they offer SSL Certificates from several
different companies. A partnership with more than one
provider will allow you to offer a wide variety of SSL
Certificates.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Sign up as a partner with one of the companies listed
above or do a search for your own.
● Setup a website that lists your services and products
offered.
● Advertise your site on places such as webmaster and
webhosting forums, by using pay-per-click services such as
Google Adwords and Bing Ads.
● Enjoy the sales incentives or profits depending on which
payment model you have chosen.
How much revenue can I make by reselling SSL
certificates?
If the company that you're working with is offering sales
incentives, the it will depend on how many certificates you
have sold as well as what that company offers for a
particular amount of sales.
If the company that you're working with is offering you SSL
certificates at a discount, then how much you make will
depend on the margin of how much you pay versus how
much you sell each certificate for.
16. Drop-Shipping
There are many people who have considered selling on
eBay or other websites but hated the idea of having to buy
and store products, packaging them, and then finally
shipping it to their customers.
The good news is that there's an alternative, it's called
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
drop-shipping. The best part about this method is that you
don't have to deal with any of the problems mentioned
above. In fact, you won't have to even touch the products
at all.
When you drop-ship, all you have to do is sell the products.
As soon as a sale is made and you receive payment, your
drop-shipping company or wholesaler would ship the
product out on your behalf to the customer, all you have to
do is give them their name and address.
Just about anyone can start drop-shipping to make some
extra money. There's no government oversight and you
don't need any type of license to start selling wholesale
items online. You may want to consider getting a standard
business license from your state or country since you will
be running a legitimate business and so you should make
sure that you are operating legally.
In order for you to start drop-shipping, here are some
steps you can take:
● Get yourself an account with eBay or other online auction
sites as a seller or create your own e-commerce website.
● Locate wholesalers who provide drop-shipping services.
One thing to make sure is that they don't use their contact
details on the packages that are sent out otherwise you
could miss out on potential future business with them. You
can learn more about different drop-shipping companies
here.
● Email or call manufacturers to find out if they drop-ship
and, if so, do they deal with retailers directly or through a
distributor. Doing this will entail that you know the
business first-hand.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● There are many business-to-business (B2B) publications
available for free on sites like Free Trade Magazine Source.
You should consider subscribing to a few magazines that
are in your desired niche. These publications frequently list
product manufacturers as well as who you should contact.
● Choose which products that you want to sell.
● Start advertising these products on eBay or on your own
website. Other places to advertise could include PPC (payper-click) on sites like Google Adwords and Bing Ads.
Where can I learn more about drop-shipping?
One great place to find drop-shipping courses is at
Udemy.com. Udemy is a marketplace for online learning
and provides a platform for experts of any kind to create
courses which can be offered to the public, either for free
or for a tuition fee.
Two of their most popular drop-shipping courses are:
1. eBay Selling: Dropshipping Products for Beginners This course will show you how to sell on eBay, gain access
to retail products at wholesale prices and spend no money
upfront.
It actually doesn't cost anything to open wholesale
accounts and to work with legitimate wholesalers. You
won't need to buy any inventory upfront.
2. eBay DropShipping: $1,438 DropShipping From Just 3
Listings - Similar to the course above, you'll learn how to
make fast and easy sales dropshipping on eBay. All you
need to successfully run this business is a computer with
an internet connection and about 30 minutes of free time
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
each day to deliver orders and check your earnings.
How much money can I make from drop shipping?
How much you earn will depend on the difference between
the wholesale price you pay, and the sale price you set.
You can make anywhere between a few extra bucks all the
way up to $1000's of dollars per sale, depending on what
kind of goods you are offering.
17. Sell Your Unwanted Items For Cash
If you've got any unused items laying around the house anything from old clothes to grandma's antique furniture,
then you can try to sell them on auctions sites like eBay.
I'm sure you've heard the saying, "One man's trash is
another man's treasure", well it could be possible to earn a
good amount of money just by doing a little cleaning and
uncluttering around the home.
People often find it hard to declutter their home because
we see the items we don't need and remember how much
cash it cost us to get. Selling these things can bring back
some of the money - money you can then put towards
other items you really want.
In order for you to sell your unused items, here are some
steps you can take:
● Become a member on online auctions sites such as eBay
and the Amazon Marketplace as a seller.
● Setup a Paypal account if you don't already have one so
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
that you can receive payments quickly.
● Look around your home and find things that are not
being used that you could sell. If you have other family or
friends with unwanted stuff laying around see if you can
sell it for them for a cut of the profits.
● Look up each item's used sale value. You should look at
sites such as Craigslist, Amazon and eBay to see how much
people are selling similar items for. Make a note of how
much they're asking for, what the closing price was and
what condition the item being sold was in.
● List your items for sale based on the research you did in
the previous step.
Here are some additional useful places to list your unused
items for sale online:
1. Facebook: Before putting your items up for sale on
auction sites, you might want to first try putting them up
on Facebook. I've seen many of my friends buy and sell old
stuff to their network of friends with great success. The
benefit of using this method is that it's free to list your
items and you'll only have to deal with people that you
know and trust.
2. NextWorth: NextWorth is an electronics trade-in and
recycling service. Users of the service exchange used
electronics for cash or discounts on newer models. This site
has become one of the best-known online marketplaces for
used electronics. This site gives you the option to either
ship your items in to NextWorth or trade them in at any
Target near you for store credit.
3. Gift Card Granny: Gift Card Granny is a gift card
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
exchange site that connects buyers and sellers of
discounted gift cards. We all have a bunch of old gift cards
left of from holidays and birthdays. According to Gift Card
Granny, you can sell them for up to 93 percent of their
value which is a seriously great deal.
How much money can I make out of selling unused items?
The amount you make will depend on what you’re selling
and how many items you've got for sale. You can make
anywhere from a few dollars to thousands of dollars selling
your unused items.
18. Buy And Sell On eBay
If you're a frequent visitor of eBay, you could try buying
other people's items for sale and try reselling them back on
eBay for an even higher price.
Anybody can make money off eBay but you will need a
plan. Just putting up random items and spending lots of
money on listing fees is not the best way to go. You will
have to find items that will sell well.
Sometimes, people misspell their auction listing or don't
really know the value of what they're trying to sell which
means you can score some really great bargains that you
can resell for a nice profit.
Another method involves doing some research on eBay,
watching to see what products are the most popular in
each category and then buying those exact same items in
bulk to sell on eBay yourself for a nice profit.
If you didn't already know, eBay is the world's largest
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
online marketplace; a place where buyers and sellers come
together and buy or sell almost anything.
Here's how eBay works:
As a seller who lists items on eBay, from cars, books,
electronics to antiques, you can choose to accept only bids
for an item (auction) or you can offer a "Buy It Now"
option that allows buyers to purchase your item right away
at a fixed price.
In the auction model, the bidding will open at a price that
is set by you and will remain on the eBay listings for a
certain number of days. Shoppers and buyers will then
place bids on your items. When then listing has ended, the
buyer with the highest bid wins the auction.
With a Buy It Now listing, the first buyer willing to pay the
seller's asking price gets the item.
In order for you to buy and sell on eBay, here are some
steps you can take:
● Go through eBay and see what items you can find at a
bargain rate.
● Purchase items which you think will sell well at a higher
price.
● You may also want to create a website and advertise
your products on places other than eBay such as the
Amazon Marketplace and NextWorth.
● Research items before you spend money purchasing
them. Don't buy high-priced items such as computers or
TV's and end up stuck with them. Low cost items in bulk
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
may be a better option to start with. You just have to find
stuff that will sell and sell for a nice profit.
● Stock up on new inventory quickly. You will want to keep
your store and listings going, especially if you have found a
winning product. Don't wait until you are depleted to get
new supplies.
In conclusion, remember to start small. Don't overwhelm
yourself. In the beginning, you can find free items to sell
from friends and family. It is much easier than spending a
lot of money on suppliers and wholesale when you're
learning the ropes.
When you gain more experience you will understand that
you can gain a competitive advantage with smart listings.
Focus on those listings and find the right time to start and
end your listing which you will discover through testing.
Even more advanced sellers can gain greater profits by
experimenting with Buy It Now buttons and reserve price
auctions.
If you're interested in getting a course that will guide you
step-by-step through the process of selling on eBay, you
should visit Udemy.com. You will find literally dozens of
quality courses there that you can take from eBay experts.
How much money can I make out of buying and selling on
eBay?
Many sellers make a good living out of selling items using
this popular auction site, but how much you can make will
depend on the profit margins you set and the value of each
item. You can make anywhere from a few dollars even up
to a few hundred for rare stuff.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
If you're an honest seller with popular items people want
to buy, you could easily become a full-time eBay seller in
just a couple of months. Your success will be measured by
your own efforts.
19. Sell Other People's Items On eBay
Did you know that eBay has an option where you can list
items for sale that aren't even in your possession yet?
However, if you take that option, you need to make sure
that you aren't violating any of eBay's pre-sale item
policies.
Generally, there are just 3 things you need to keep in mind
before pre-selling items on eBay which are:
1. You have to make sure that the item for sale will be
available to ship within 30 days from the purchase date.
You'll need to clearly state this in your listing.
2. You have to clearly indicate the item is a pre-sale item in
the description.
3. And lastly, the handling time specified in your listing
should accurately reflect the time from the end of the
listing until you ship the item to the buyer.
The great thing about this is you can buy stuff online that
is selling out and then list those items on eBay while you're
waiting to receive them. Another thing you can do is put
your friend's or families items for sale without the need to
physically have them at your home.
Putting things for sale before you actually have them in
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
possession is a good way to gauge the demand of
products. It's also a great way to make a profit without
taking any of the risk.
Drop-shipping is allowed on eBay too and the rules
mentioned above relate to these items also.
Dropshipping is a product fulfillment method we talked
about earlier wherein a store doesn't keep the products it's
selling in stock. The products are bought from a third party
and then shipped to the customer.
As a result, the merchant never actually sees or handles
the product.
The difference between dropshipping and standard retailers
is that the seller doesn't stock or own inventory. Instead,
the merchant purchases inventory as needed from third
parties – usually a wholesaler or manufacturer – to fulfill
orders.
In order to sell other people’s stuff on eBay, here are some
steps you can take:
● Sign up with eBay and set up your payment method so
that you can receive payments. Typically, this will involve
getting a Paypal account.
● Set up your virtual store as a seller.
● Select a few items from others who want to sell their
items and list them in your product page.
● Alternatively, find drop-shipping companies that will ship
out orders for you. One popular place to find wholesalers
and drop-shipping companies is at SaleHoo.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
According to their website, the SaleHoo directory has more
than 8,000 security-screened suppliers offering 1.5 million
different products in over 150 categories. It also features
reviews of suppliers from experienced online retailers.
How much money can I make by selling other people's
stuff on eBay?
You can make anywhere from a few dollars to thousands of
dollars by doing this.
20. Write A Guide On Buying And Selling On
eBay
If you are already buying and selling items on eBay for
profit successfully, you could consider writing an eBook
that teaches others how to do the same.
Although most people might know the basics of selling on
eBay, they would still buy the book to learn new tactics and
your personal insights.
You would do this by making the ebook as simple and
creative as possible. A good book can be updated and sold
for several years and all the money you make will be pure
profit since ebooks are digital and there will be no costs
involved such as shipping and handling.
In order for you to write an eBook on selling on eBay, here
are some steps you can take:
● As soon as you become familiar with eBay, begin writing
your ebook that details how you use the site step-by-step
to make money.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Keeping the book as simple as possible will give you
better reviews and attract more buyers.
● Come up with a catchy title for your ebook.
● There are many great courses online that can teach you
how to write, create and publish ebooks.
One of the best places to start looking is at Udemy.com.
There are literally dozens of quality courses on ebook
creation there that can help you. After your ebook is
finished, you could even put it up as a course at Udemy
too!
Here are a couple of the most popular Udemy ebook
writing courses:
1. How I Write An eBook In 1 Day With No Fancy Tools or
Tricks by Jessica Maes.
In this course, you'll learn Jessica's exact steps that she
took to write her 1st eBook in just 1 day.
2. Write and Publish Kindle eBooks by Shanda Trofe.
In this course, you'll learn how to write, format, design,
publish and launch a high-quality eBook and hit the
bestsellers list of Amazon in 5 days or less!
● Advertise your new eBook for sale in on digital
marketplace websites such as JVZoo, Clickbank or even on
eBay itself.
JVZoo and Clickbank and similar sites also have a very
large base of affiliates who promote products available in
their marketplace for a commission.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
When you're product is listed at these sites, affiliates will
also be able to promote your product which will increase
your profits even more.
Some eBooks have shot to the top of sales charts simply
because a lot of affiliates found the offer and started
promoting it.
However, listing at JVZoo, Clickbank etc. will require you to
have a sales page that tells people why they should buy
your eBook. You could write it yourself, get someone else
to write the sales copy for you, or the quickest way, get
yourself the PLR (private label rights) to an existing eBay
eBook and re-write the sales letter that usually comes with
these products.
Here's some examples of a few eBay eBooks with PLR
rights:
http://www.plrprivatelabelrights.com/plr-ebooks/onlineebooks/ebay-ebooks/
● Another great place to put up your new ebook is at
Amazon as a kindle ebook.
● Get the sale done and enjoy the profit.
How much money can I make by selling an eBook about
eBay?
How much you make will depend on the price of the book
and how many you can sell per day. The amount you sell
will also depend upon customer feedback and the reviews
and testimonials you receive.
If your eBook is listed at places that accept affiliates, then
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
it will also depend on how many people decide to promote
your eBook to their blog readers etc.
21. Online Surveys
Do you have time to spare, opinions and a computer?
Completing surveys is an interesting way to earn a bit of
extra cash, gift vouchers or other gifts. It is certainly not a
full time job but many individuals use these opportunities
to make a bit of extra income and it doesn't require
extensive skills or knowledge. It is certainly one way of
making your opinions known and earning a bit in return!
In order for you to participate in paid surveys, here are
some steps you can take:
● Set up a new email address, this makes sure that any
invitations to complete surveys are not mixed up with your
day to day emails.
● Set up a PayPal account if you don’t already have one.
Download Roboform or other form manager. With
Roboform you can fill out surveys even faster as it
automatically answers questions relating to age, sex,
address, income, preferences etc. when you have
programmed this information in to the software.
● Sign up to some survey sites and answer some
preliminary screening questions.
● Then wait for new surveys or with some companies you
can search for surveys that match your personal tastes.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● What you need to know to identify legitimate paid survey
sites:
If you do your homework and stick with survey sites that
offer 100% free registration, you will avoid most, it not all,
survey scams. It is recommended to take some time in
accomplishing this as it is important to eliminate any
unpaid survey sites; some sites only offer gift cards, lucky
draws, coupons and vouchers, but no hard cash.
It must also be noted that the payout potential is
dependent on the company payment scale. You must
choose the highest pay-out surveys to obtain the best
benefits. However you may wish to sign in to those offering
gift vouchers for example if it is a company or site you
already purchase from.
It’s a good idea to learn how each panel works. Take a
minute to check out the FAQs and terms and conditions of
each site so that you know the important stuff such as how
you get paid, minimum pay-out amount, when you get
paid, and so on.
● Get registered with at least 5 paid survey sites. This will
spread your potential for earnings. (Remember to
acknowledge emails that ask you to confirm your
registration as without doing this you may not be offered
any surveys and your registration will not be complete.)
Let the survey site know about the type of surveys you
would be interested to participate in by completing any
profiles such as adding your interests.
This ensures that the surveys match your individuality and
therefore will be suitable for your opinions.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
So remember: Filling out your profile surveys helps you get
more survey invitations. Before you start taking surveys, it
is important to go ahead and fill out all your profiles as
completely as possible.
● Complete any surveys quickly and before any deadlines.
Commit some time of the day to go through your emails
and complete the surveys offered. The more surveys you
complete, the more you will be offered.
Share your honest opinion about the products, services
where applicable. Don’t just guess without reading through
a statement or question.
Which Companies Can I Register With?
Cashcrate offers the highest paying referral program in the
paid survey industry and payout methods include Direct
Bank Deposit, PayPal, Check and Dwolla.
Superpayme offers an immediate bonus on sign up and on
confirmation of your email. Cash methods are Check, Payza
and Paypal. Withdrawal option is instantaneous.
Swagbucks are a reliable survey site who also offer
rewards for playing games and watching videos.
Others include Inboxdollars, Vindale Research,
Rewardingways, Offernation, isurveyworld, Surveysavvy,
Toluna, The OpinionPanel Community and Valued Opinion.
So look at what each survey panel offers and compare it to
others. Remember to activate your registration, complete
profile surveys and commit time. The rewards will come
rolling in!

How much money can I make from paid surveys?
You can make anything between $1 and $100 depending
on the types of survey sand the length of the surveys. The
typical payout may range between $0.50 and $4.00 per
survey dependent on the complexity or detail of the
survey.
The average survey may take anywhere from 5 minutes to
35 minutes to complete. The corresponding payment will
reflect all these factors. Other than money, you can also
enjoy some extras such as gift vouchers, discount coupons
or even being sent products.
22. Social Bookmarking Service
How does a business maintain a competitive presence on
the internet with so many websites available to view on the
internet? How do they generate more visitors to their sites?
In order to attract more visitors and build traffic to their
site, website owners opt to hire service providers who
submit and promote awareness of their websites on various
social media sites. Years ago, social bookmarking was
pretty much about getting your content bookmarked on
every site, no matter the quality, in order to generate as
many links as possible, however now it's quality and not
quantity that counts!
Remember that the correct way to use social media and
content curation sites is to use them on a regular basis.
You need to be active, grow your following and most
importantly engage with the audience, otherwise you won’t
get the results you want and you can actually put your
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
website at greater risk of a Google penalty.
In order to submit links to social bookmarking sites for
yourself and other people, here are some steps you can
take:
● Find quality bookmaking sites that are relevant to you, or
your clients industry, products and target audience.
● Create complete profiles when setting up profile/account
as you would with Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus.
● Quality over quantity – avoid syndicating content on as
many sites as possible, relevancy is the key. Don't use
spammy automated bookmarking tools.
● Build a portfolio of good social media sites that will help
other users. This can help you build trust; in other words
people will be more likely to share, like or vote up your
content.
● Be active – re-share other’s content, engage with people,
ask questions and post comments.
● Start advertising your bookmarking service on social
networks, amongst friends, on SEO Clerks, Fiverr, or via
other traffic methods.
● Provide clients with reports on the number of sites you
submitted and the links you have created for the customer.
How Exactly Do Social Bookmarking Services Generate
More Visitors?
● Your sites get indexed faster in Google with deeper
indexing.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Improves quality. As more users bookmark a page, the
site gains more relevance and traffic.
● Categorization. This defines the subject of the site; this
effects your Google search engine ranking.
● Number of votes. Search engines see that your content is
high quality.
How Much Can I Make Out Of Submitting Links To Social
Bookmarking Sites For Other People?
You can make between $5 - $50 per each set bookmarks
and posts, and slowly increase the rate you charge based
on your turnaround time and expertise.
There are many sites you can use such as:
Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Delicious, Digg, Diigo, Folkd,
Reddit, Stumbleupon, A1webmark and many others.
Also on the market are various automated, semiautomated marketing software and social marketing tools
that allows users to submit bookmarks to popular social
bookmarking sites. (Helping you to automate your
efforts!)
These tools significantly minimize the time and effort
necessary to create accounts. Some automated social
bookmarking tools permit the user to submit at least 10
URL’s daily.
These semi-automated tools include: SocialAdr, Onlywire
and ImAutomater. Remember that you don't need to pay, a
lot of these sites work very well and are free.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
How To Get Traffic From Social Bookmarking Sites:
● Don’t use the same username on all these sites and keep
variation when you submit a link. Apart from your own
links, also submit links (high-quality) from other websites
so that your profile looks legitimate. After all, automation
is always seen as spamming. If you do it smart, you can
get great results.
● Accentuate on the first paragraph. This is the first bit of
text which should be constructed exclusively to catch the
reader’s attention.
● Ensure that posts are relevant and accurate.
● Write a 100-150 short description that is informative and
will attract the reader to your site.
● Submit the site in the most relevant category e.g. health,
medicine, technology, etc.
● Check that facts, topics, spelling are all accurate.
● Respond to comments.
● Submit up to date news, articles etc. Avoid out of date
news.
● Make it easy for people to bookmark the site.
In summary, it must be noted that social bookmarking
websites have a higher page ranking and this implies that if
more links are generated, then the bookmark may appear
in the first few pages of any Google keyword search. Social
Bookmarking at it optimum potential provides an
outstanding platform for the website owner.

23. Data Entry
Data entry does not require any in depth knowledge or
training, the only requirements being the ability to use a
computer and to be able to type well. Obviously you will
need basic language skills dependent on the language
being used. Accuracy is also important and reliability to
complete the tasks required.
Earning more income is through the time spent entering
data, typing speed and whether the task is simple or
complex. Many business sectors such as education and
retail need physical data converted into an electronic
format.
This could include entering financial information into a
spreadsheet or entering address details to a database – in
fact anything that needs converting raw data into electronic
information for the business. It is also possible to make
this a source of second income, working part time amongst
your other
commitments.
In order to make money with data entry, here are some
steps you can take:
● There are many websites offering freelance data entry
work and these include: Freelancer.com, Guru.com,
Upwork.com, etc.
● If you type into Google, "Freelance Data Entry Job
Positions", sign up for as many job websites that you can.
Search for data entry positions and start applying for them.
There are thousands of positions and usually it is possible
to negotiate a fee.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Remember though as you are starting out that you need
to keep your fees low! Once you have had some successful
tasks completed you can use these as examples of the
work you have completed.
● Creating accurate work and meeting set deadlines will
not only gain you experience but it will also make you the
first choice for that business when they need further work
completed.
● Keep a diary of the different tasks you have completed
and any testimonials or feedback you have received that
you can use when applying for other data entry positions.
● Sign up for payments through a trusted third party such
as PayPal that offers fast payments and also some
protection for those payments.
What Sort Of Data Entry Jobs Could You Apply For?
● Filling forms with information provided by the company
or by using prompts given by the company.
● Copying text data from one file format to another – this
needs accuracy and attention to detail.
● Simple typing jobs which normally need a competence of
30 words per minute.
● Entering inventories into a spreadsheet, this could be
serial numbers, product names, and prices etc.
● Copywriting and proof writing, reviewing articles and
correcting grammatical errors and spelling. This could also
include correctly formatting a document such as adjusting
alignments.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Writing articles from files saved as image files, such as a
jpeg File and rewriting it into a word document.
● Writing articles and reviews for a company’s needs, this
could be for example, articles that appear on websites.
● Payroll – this could be creating payrolls into spreadsheets
including names, rate of pay and so on.
● Captcha entry - this is is one of the simplest forms of
data entry. There are many companies who need to
register in large quantities on thousands of websites. They
can create the automatic software to sign up on the
websites but there is no technology to solve these captchas
automatically. Generally, you will login with a username
and password and then begin to type out the captchas.
how much can I earn with data entry?
It is possible to earn between $1 to $20 per hour
dependent on what work you are undertaking and what
company you are working for. It is also possible that you
will earn by task rather than by the hour.
Make sure that with anything you are accepting online that
it is legitimate by researching the company and also
making sure you have the software required to complete
any tasks. Read any reviews available and remain in
contact with your employer. Data entry will provide varied
work that can be completed at home so remember to be on
time and accurate!

an appropriate place to work you can launch as a virtual
assistant. Remember to keep a diary of the work you have
completed, look for opportunities to develop and gain new
skills and the sky’s the limit!
25. Participate In Contests
Have you heard of the saying "You've got to be in it to win
it?" If you have some time to spare, then you can start
participating in contests offered all over the internet,
television or in magazines.
There are some people who treat competition entry as a
profession and win on a regular basis. That's not to say
that you will always win but there are competitions where
there are only a few entrants so don't think that you have
no chance!
In order to make money by participating in contests, here
are some steps you can take:
● Browse through the net and make a list of sites which
offer contests. Some popular contest sites are:
- http://www.contestbee.com/
- http://www.contestformoms.com/
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
- http://contestalley.com/
- http://hypersweep.com/
- http://www.sweepstakescrazy.com/
● Register and check for new contests daily and participate
in as many contests as possible.
● Keep checking your email for new competitions!
What Do I Stand To Gain By Participating In Contests?
You can win cash as well as other perks like gift cards,
coupons, holidays or even cars. Other prizes include movie
tickets, electronics devices, sample products and different
gift cards.
So What Should I Do Before I Start Entering And Winning?
● Decide what type of contests you want to enter. Do you
want to enter contests offering only cash prizes? Holidays
abroad or cars? Some contest may require just an entry of
basic information such as name, address, and email
whereas others may require a short statement, perhaps
taking a photograph or even designing a new brand of
product.
● With competitions where you have to complete a
sentence, go onto the internet, research the company and
product before you make your snappy and catchy phrase.
● Invest in automatic form filling software like Roboform,
which makes it easier to automatically fill out forms.
● Research sweepstakes services. These services
accumulate various contests across the web into one place.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Create a new email address and use it specifically for
your contests as it will be simpler to see updates and new
competitions. In addition bear in mind that prize promoters
may sell your information to advertisers. When you sign up
for a contest or drawing, you probably will get more
promotional mail, telemarketing calls, or spam email
instead of a prize! (So put those in your "spam" folder!)
● Keep accurate track of your contests.
● Get a contest SIM card as you may be required to give
out your telephone number – this could be a free Pay as
You Go SIM card.
● Pay attention to any rules applicable to the contest and
closing dates.
● Avoid premium rate calls. Do not enter contests by
calling a premium number; find the free ways to enter the
same competition online.
● Avoid "pay to enter" contests. Never pay to view lists of
contests or to register with a contest site. It's illegal to ask
you to pay or buy something to enter or increase your odds
of winning. This also includes paying "taxes," "shipping and
handling charges," or “processing fees” to get your prize.
Normally this means it's a scam and best avoided.
● There's also no reason to give someone your checking
account number or credit card number in response to a
prize draw.
● Download free antivirus software to ensure your
computer is always protected.
● Prize promoters are legally bound to tell you the odds of
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
winning, the nature or value of the prizes, that there is no
fee to enter, and also the terms and conditions to redeem
your prize should you be lucky to win!
Some things to bear in mind about contests:
National contests carry more participants than local
contests. It is therefore more feasible to invest time and
effort into a local contest, however remember that people
may not bother to enter as they consider the odds to high.
Sites such as http://www.thefreesite.com/ display daily
contests and are useful to browse through.
How much can I make from contests?
It is possible to have fun and win large sums of money if
you dedicate some time and energy to enter the many
competitions available. Be wary of scams, don't pay for
postage to receive your prize (It will be a scam!) and have
fun!
26. Editing And Proofreading
Editing and proofreading is a job that is in constant
demand. Written articles, stories, reviews or even reports
need to be proofread, edited and corrected before they can
be submitted.
There has been an increase of work due to the number of
freelance sites emerging to assist writers, publishers and
students to be able to submit work that is free from
spelling and grammatical errors. For some freelancers, this
can become a full time job although it can also provide an
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
excellent second income.
In order to make money proofreading, here are some steps
you can take:
● Register on freelancing sites such as Freelancer.com,
Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.
● You can sign up with these sites, apply for jobs and also
provide a profile for others to contact you to offer you
work. Some of the positions ask you to "bid" competitively
with other workers and others you can offer samples of
your work to be offered work.
● Register with job sites such as Indeed, SimplyHired and
Monster Jobs where you can post a C.V (Resume) showing
your qualifications and skills, allowing employers to contact
you.
● Register on websites which provide editing/proof reading
services to their customers. Websites that specialize in
providing these services include Mulberry Studio, Proofread
NOW, and Wordfirm.
Check these sites daily and set up email alerts for suitable
positions to be emailed to you.
● Build your own website to advertise your service to
prospective clients. If you search the internet you can find
a number of sites that offer a website that you can build,
set up and launch onto the internet.
● There are proofreading and editors groups e.g. Editorial
Freelancers Association that you can join which offer help
and assistance in looking for work.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
What Skills And Expertise Do You Need?
● It is imperative that you have excellent writing skills and
a good command of the language you are editing or
proofreading. You need to have a good eye for detail, good
computer skills, be creative and be able to write in
different styles.
Dependent on the work you are applying for, you may need
specialized knowledge – such as medical terminology – or
be confident in that knowledge.
● You need to have a computer with up to date software
and be able to use that software such as Microsoft Word,
with formatting, page layouts, spell checking, and
grammar.
● Be able to understand and use words – different
meanings and understandings. Be careful to only submit
work that has been checked and double checked.
● To adapt your personal style and replicate the style
required.
How much can I make from editing/proofreading jobs?
As mentioned previously this work can become full-time or
used as a second income and it is possible to earn $5 to
$20 per hour depending on the work being completed. The
work may be paid per hour or on completion of the work.
Remember if it is a large project to negotiate a sliding rate
rather than wait until the end of the project to be paid.
The rate also depends on how specialized the work is, the
higher rates earned with academic projects with specialized
terminology.

27. Email And Phone Handling
While this is similar to becoming a virtual assistant, some
companies, in an attempt to save costs and expenses in
employing a member of staff, outsource some of their
administrative functions such as phone and email handling.
These tasks are undertaken remotely and involve tasks
such as cold calling for potential new sales leads,
answering telephone queries and replying to and
forwarding emails.
This opportunity allows individuals to work anywhere in the
world, while at the same time scheduling tasks
conveniently around home, family and social life. The main
requirements are a computer, reliable internet connection
and a telephone.
A typical job may involve emailing and calling a potential
client and arranging a meeting with a sales representative.
The company would provide you with client details,
company information and perhaps targets for the amount
of successful calls you need to make per day.
In order to make money with email and phone handling,
here are some steps you can take:
● Register with popular freelancing sites like
Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc., provide
details of your skills and experience and apply for suitable
positions.
● You can also apply for short term projects. On some of
the sites you can complete a profile that allows potential
employers to contact you directly.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Check job posts to see what people are looking for and
apply for the jobs that meet your skills and experiences.
What Sort Of Work Would I Be Expected To Do?
Although no extensive skills are necessary, the following
could be examples of the types of work you are involved
in:
For email handling jobs:
● Manage email flows, and respond to emails in a timely
fashion.
● Streamline email responses, making sure they are sent
promptly.
● Forward appropriate and relevant email responses to the
appropriate persons.
● Optimize and monitor email output and performance.
● Group incoming emails into task categories, again
sending to the appropriate persons or department within
the company.
For Call handling jobs:
● Answer the telephone promptly.
● Ensure communication is clear and welcoming, with no
background disturbance.
● Be a good communicator and listener, using professional
and appropriate language.
● Be confident in your telephone dealings with customers
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
and with the company.
How much can I make from email and phone handling?
You can expect anything from $3 to $10 per hour
depending on your experience, skills and knowledge.
In general, this is a great way of creating a second income
although you do need to give commitment, and be
disciplined with your time.
28. Get Paid To Surf The Web
Paid to surf, commonly referred to as (PTS) essentially
entails a company placing advertisements on members’
computer screens and using the income generated from
that advertising to pay the member for surfing. Basically
you get paid to surf the internet!
You visit sponsored websites and also earn for referring
others to follow you to pay to surf. With these referrals you
earn a small percentage of every site they visit too!
As you log in as a member, the advertisers’ advertisements
will be displayed throughout as you continue to browse the
web. If you install a company’s software, they will often
pay you to keep it on while you are surfing the web and in
this way they can track your activity, monitor the websites
you visit and how you navigate the internet. You do need
to be careful that you have up-to-date virus protection and
a pop up blocker.
In order for you to browse the net and get paid, here are
some steps you can take:
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Browse through the net and make a list of companies
that pay you to surf the internet and they include:
paymentsurf.com, hits4pay.com, swagbucks.com,
cashfiesta.com, surfwithmoney.com and many more.
● Download and install their tracking software. This
software enables the company to track the web sites you
visit and also how you use them.
The software usually consists of a bar that rests at the top
or bottom of your screen which displays advertisements
and keeps track of the amount of time you spend online,
called, unsurprisingly, an ADBAR.
You can earn money, points, or competition entries and
receive bonuses for people you refer to the service.
● Browse through the net and start earning.
You will not get rich quickly though and you need to
register and sign up for a few different websites.
● Some other opportunities for PTS include completing
online surveys, watching film clips or advertisements or
even playing games!
Remember that for some they pay cash or they can include
earning "points" to redeem for gift vouchers.
Different companies pay different amounts for surfing and
referrals. Make sure you read all the terms & conditions.
Referrals can again increase this earning potential.
How much can I Make from paid to surf?
That totally depends on the companies you have signed on
to. Remember to make sure they are legitimate, and that
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
you have adequate anti-virus software installed.
PTS allows you the opportunity to earn as you surf and also
to earn additional income via referrals by allowing
advertisements to show on your screen.
You do not have to talk to anyone, you do not need to buy
anything, and you do not need to sell anything. Companies
track your web usage and pay you for your connection time
and for your referrals ratio. So click, surf and earn!
29. Paid To Click
Some companies will actually pay you to click on their
advertisements with the intention of obtaining a flow of
interested customers to their websites. You earn money for
every advertisement that you click on and apart from
needing a computer and internet, requires no skills at all!
This business allows you to earn a second income fitting
around your lifestyle!
In order to make money with paid to click, here are some
steps you can take:
● Browse through the internet and make a list of websites
that pay you to click on their ads such as NeoBux and
ClixSense.
● Ensure that you register on genuine 'pay per click' sites
by looking up reviews.
● In order to identify a legitimate site it is highly
recommended to verify the payment method, monitor the
frequency of site updates, observe payment proof
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
information, check click rate details and method of
calculation for referral commissions. Pay particular
attention to payment processing details, reputation and
reviews and even referral limits.
The onus is on you to ensure that the site is not a scam
and that the company has a proven track record and
established as such a company on it's merit. So beware of
scams! You should NOT have to pay to register on these
sites.
● Start clicking ads and start earning. With Neobux, you
must research when you can click new ads depending on
the server time because you only get a certain amount
each day. You click on the advertiser’s link and view it for
an amount of time specified by the advertiser. The longer
you need to view it, the more you get paid.
After viewing the advertisement you are credited with a
pre-determined amount of money in your account. This
sounds far more complicated than it actually is! But it's
actually very easy. It's free to register and free to start
earning today.
How much can I make from paid to click?
In terms of earnings, some websites offer unlimited direct
referrals, wheras some may offer a cap of 300. Pay per
click rates may range from up to $0.01 to $0.03.
Popular payment processors are Paypal, Payza, Perfect
Money and many more. The number of ads per day may
range from 20 to 30 or even as many as 100. Referral click
may vary from $0.01 or 50% to 100%. Be sure that you
read the terms and conditions carefully.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Although you COULD make $100 per day on this if you can
bring in a lot of referrals, this avenue is intended to be one
of the methods that you use in combination with other
ones to earn a total of $100 per day.
With this in mind, the sooner you start clicking and telling
your friends about it, the better!
30. Freebies
For those that know how to use it properly, the internet can
lead you to many amazing freebies.
Companies offer freebies as a promotional tool for the
products they are selling. They aim to reach more potential
customers simply by offering these freebies with the hopes
that you will spread the word or continue using the
product, leading to more potential customers. This is a
great way for them to increase their sales volume.
However, finding a legitimate site may be a daunting task,
especially if the individual is doing it for the first time.
While there are many legit sites you can go to in order to
find such companies that are offering freebies, there are an
equal number of "scammers." Therefore, it is important
that you learn how to identify the reputable companies.
In order to get freebies, here are some steps you can take:
● Here's a list of genuine websites you can turn to in order
to find hot deals for items you like or would like to try.
- FreeStuff.com
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
On this site, you will be able to find free samples on
different types of household items. You will find coupons
and other types of deals available too. The products range
from moisturizers to coffee. Also, you have to consider the
fact that it is updated on a daily basis, so be sure to check
the site regularly.
- FreeStuff.co.uk
This one is currently one of the biggest freebie sites in the
UK. It has around 14,000 people visiting the site on a daily
basis (that’s pretty good). The free stuff that is being
offered is divided into categories. You have computers, car,
fashion, films and many other freebies.
- Freecycle.org
This one is found in the United States and is one of the
biggest freebie sites on the web – it currently has a
membership that is close to 8 million users. Through this
site, you can connect with people giving away free stuff
that are in your area. You can find anything from
electronics to furniture on this site – it is a non-profit
organization and signup is free.
- Ilovefreegle.org
In terms of popularity, this one right here is sitting next to
Freecycle. Members are required to form groups and it has
around 2 million members. It is easy to navigate and even
has a Twitter page users can turn to in order to get alerts
when an item is available in their area.
Some of the groups are strict and require approval before
you are able to join them.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
- Freebiesiteuk.co.uk
While Freecycle and Freegle offer samples from the public
itself, this one right here has companies offering products.
As a member, you will be able to opt-in to the company’s
newsletter in order to receive updates on the latest
freebies.
- Freebiersclub.co.uk
On this site, you will find mostly foods, make-up products
and music downloads to sample. The best feature about
this site is that you do not have to register to see what is
up for grabs.
All you have to do is click on the links and it will direct you
to the individual freebie that interests you. The only
disadvantage is the fact that you may come across old
freebies that have expired.
Now, here’s a list of some of the companies that are known
for offering coupons and freebies directly:
- Kraft
The "Kraft First Taste" Program is what the company offers.
They give free samples. You may also win a free coupon to
use when you purchase Kraft products.
- Vocalpoint
You simply signup and receive free samples from Proctor
and Gamble. You will then be receiving an email every time
there is a freebie offer.
- Allure Magazine
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Through their "Allure Free Stuff" program, they give
personal care and beauty products as samples.
How much can I make from freebies?
Although you don't directly make any money, you can
definitely save a lot if you sign up to receive as many
freebies as you can.
Depending on the freebies you get, you can even sell them
for anywhere from a dollar to $20 or so.
31. Software Load Testing
Think about your own personal computer. It runs entirely
on a compilation of different programs and software that
work together seamlessly to provide an experience that
allows you to live your digital life with relative ease.
Everything from the program you use to write your reports
to the games you use to blow off steam was once just an
idea. After that idea becomes a tangible product,
companies will pay people to take it home and test it,
making sure that it is functional, efficient, and free of
design flaws.
It seems remedial, but this part of the process is so
undeniably crucial, that the demand for software testers is
as big as it’s ever been, and you could be one of them.
In order to become a software tester, here are some steps
you can take:
● Take a moment to browse the internet and search for
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
"Software Testing Jobs".
● Browse job websites such as Indeed, SimplyHired and
Monster Jobs for software testing jobs.
● Just like anything else, this is a niche market that is
developing a huge demand, and if you are there to meet it
you can take advantage of limitless profits.
On the flip side, this means that companies probably are
not going to come to you, even if you become an expert in
the field. My suggestion is to make a routine of looking for
new jobs every couple of days, or as often as you think
someone is going to get a new software idea.
● Get yourself registered in freelancing sites like
Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc., and look for
software testing jobs on these sites.
Freelance websites are great for seeing a realistic view of
the job pool, and most of them will allow you to list certain
skills on your profile so that you can filter out unwanted
jobs.
These websites will definitely make your life easier if you
take the time to use them.
● If you’re new to the community, you’ll also be interested
to know that there are companies out there that offer
tailored services for software testing. Go sign up with
them! When you find these companies (Acutest , for
example), you lock yourself into a market with a company
that already has a workload. This is going to be beneficial
to you especially if you are just starting out.
• If you don’t want to use other websites to market
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
yourself, you could always make your own!
The world is your oyster when it comes to advertising, and
people will use everything from social media to pay-perclick advertising to attract jobs in all kinds of fields, not
just software testing.
● When companies hire testers, they are looking for
specific feedback about the function and design of their
product, and meeting the exact demand of your clients is a
crucial part to building a reputation and securing job
opportunities in the future.
If you do what they ask of you correctly, and the first time,
you are sure to get farther with your newfound career.
How much money can I make as a software tester?
With this particular job, you can expect a minimum of $10
on the hour, depending upon the complexity of the
software that you are testing.
Logically, companies are going to pay more for someone
who is testing complicated software than they are for
software that only takes three clicks to fully explore.
32. Video Game Tester
Who wouldn’t want to make money doing something that
they already do for fun?
It seems like the most obvious choice, and reminds me of
something our parents told us when we were kids: "Do
what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life".
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
I firmly believe that, and game testing is a great way to kill
two birds with one stone. You make money by having fun.
Sounds too good to be true, right?
Realistically, a game has to be tested before it's released to
the general public, else they risk the bane of rage quitters
everywhere, who didn’t pay $60 of their hard earned cash
to watch glitchy cut scenes and fight through design flaws.
This is where you come in.
Ideally, you should already be someone who is considered
a "hardcore" gamer, if testing is something that you’d like
to make any kind of a considerable income from.
The main reason for this is because it takes time,
dedication, and focus to sit through a game and look for
such minute details. It would also be beneficial to know
how to work your way through a game effectively in order
to find any bugs or inconsistencies. (For further tips you
can feel free to refer here.)
In order to make money as a game tester, here are some
steps you can take:
● Start by using Google and search for "game testing
jobs". Other search engines work just as well, and your
overall goal is to look for opportunities and see what
people are actually hiring for.
Just like any other freelance gig you may want to have a
hand in, most of the major gaming companies aren’t going
to be looking for you, so you have to make yourself known
to them.
I wouldn’t recommend diving right into companies like
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Electronic Arts or Activision, mostly because it’s good to
test your mettle first when coming into a new field of work.
Start with something small and work your way up; you will
get where you want to be in time.
● Browse job websites such as Indeed, SimplyHired and
Monster Jobs for game testing jobs.
● After you’ve exhausted your search, you can try to use
freelancing websites to root out companies that are
searching for game testers.
Get yourself registered in freelancing sites like
Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc., and look for
game testing jobs.
This goes hand in hand with step one, and most of these
sites require you to list a set of skills so that you can filter
jobs a bit and find something that is going to fall into your
personal niche.
These sites are time savers, and will help you get a feel for
the market and work load available. Take as many jobs as
you have extra time.
● Another beneficial step to becoming and effective and
profitable game tester is registering yourself on popular
gaming sites.
Start advertising your skills and attributes in forums where
people might take an interest in hiring you. It only makes
sense to go to gaming websites and forums.
This is also important because it gives you the opportunity
to find a game genre that you will be able to specialize in.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Try to find something that you will never get tired of. If you
have an affinity for RPG’s, you most likely will not enjoy
your time as a tester if you limit yourself to war games like
Battlefield, or Black Ops.
Once you find a gig that suits you, make sure to make the
most of your time as a tester. Gaming companies are also
looking for detailed reports that provide constructive
feedback. The whole point is so that these companies can
produce a product that has quality proportional to the price
for which they are asking for.
How much money can I make from being a game tester?
You can expect anything from $5 - $25 per hour depending
on the difficulty and the time involved.
Keep this mind and choose your jobs accordingly. If you
want something that is going to be extra disposable income
that doesn’t cause you a headache, you will probably be
more comfortable choosing a few lower paying jobs that
you can have some fun with, instead of bogging yourself
down with high paying intense projects. With that being
said, by following these simple steps, you’ve started the
journey to never actually working a day in your life.
33. App Tester
Have you ever wondered how your favorite application
became so perfect for you to use?
It's affordable (if not free), works near perfectly, and has
all the functionality you would expect from a professional
application.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
It's actually because of people exactly like you. People all
across the globe get paid decent money to make sure that
these professional applications turn out to be just that:
professional and complete.
Want in on the action? All you have to do is find people
who want to put an application on the market. Just in case
your curious about how many people that is: Google
searches for "application testing jobs" render upwards of
67k search results.
In order for you to become a application tester, here are
some steps you can take:
● Start by searching on Google for "app testing jobs". Use
appropriate keywords based on applications that you would
like to get paid to test.
Believe me, they are definitely out there. If you don’t find
something you are absolutely sold on, you will find out
what is on the market right now. Use this step to figure out
which direction you would like to go in the testing
community.
● Browse job websites such as Indeed, SimplyHired and
Monster Jobs for app testing jobs.
● The next phase should be building your profile on
freelancing sites. There are several sites available that
offer freelancing work in the application testing industry.
Here are a few you can sign up with: Freelancer.com,
Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.
Most of these sites will require you to register certain skill
sets when you sign up, and from there will recommend
available jobs based on your profile.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● After you’ve had a go at the freelance fish net, go after
the whales of the industry. Register at larger companies
such as uTest and look for opportunities on their websites.
● The more you expose yourself, the more you help
yourself. The phrase "there's an app for that" has never
been more applicable. Not only that, but everyone wants a
piece of the pie. There are going to be companies both
large and small that will be scooping up testers left and
right so that they can throw out the next big thing in
applications.
● The final, and probably most important step in this
process, is making the most of your input. They hired you
because they want information from you. Make sure you
know what that information is and how to effectively
communicate that to the application developers.
The mindset that will be the most profitable in this instance
is to treat the application as if it is YOU who is developing
it. You just handed someone a job, and now you are
expecting to find out what the shortcomings of your latest
project are. You want to fill the holes and revolutionize
your product. With that in mind, what are you going to say
about it?
How much money can I make out of application testing?
Recent expectations have been set at anywhere from $5$25 on the hour, depending on the complexity of the job.
Think about it this way: you’ll probably get paid a bit more
by testing finance manager applications than you would if
you were testing the latest puzzle game. It depends on the
market for the application being provided, as well as the
complexity of the application being tested.

34. Create Software With Resell Rights
With the omnipresent need for vastly different types of
software, it's fairly easy to penetrate the market of
software development and make yourself a self-employed
tech god (If you have any programming savvy, that is).
Selling resale rights to your unique creations can allow you
to let other people do the marketing for you. Let them sell
it and collect on commission, while you collect on a
premium.
Even if you have no programming experience, you can get
a freelance programmer from sites such as Upwork.com to
create your software for you.
All you would need to do is create a blueprint of how the
software should operate and how it would look.
In order for you to sell software with resell rights, here are
some steps you can take:
● All those software bright ideas that you have? At least
one of them could be a gold mine. Finding out which one of
those ideas is in the most demand will help you maximize
your profits and grow your business.
Take a page from the process that works and start posting
your software ideas and questions in public forums
dedicated to software programmers such as
DreamInCode.net. By doing this, you actually help yourself
in two different ways.
First, you’ll get answers to your questions from people who
are directly impacting the market that you’re trying to
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
penetrate.
Second, you will find out what everyone is actually looking
for.
● Find out what people want in a software and what
software is the most popular right now at sites such as
Download.com. Ask yourself if you’re capable of meeting
the demand. How can I make existing popular software
even better? Will your creation be something that people
will use? Will your creation be something that they actually
need?
Answering these fundamental questions will put you in a
good place to maximize your profits and build a lasting
reputation as a software provider that people can depend
on.
● After you’ve figured out what your own potential
goldmine is going to be, and used your brilliant mind to
bring the beast to life, the next thing to do would be to tell
everybody you know. Good advertising is a tricky thing.
Offering free trials of your software on sites such as
Download.com can help you gain new customers.
Social media websites are a great way to reach people of
all demographics and interests, and starting with your
friends and family will help you spread the word even
faster.
● You can email owners of resale rights websites such as
PLR Assassin and sell them your new software which they
can in turn, sell to their customers.
How much money can I make out of creating software?
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
One of the benefits of being your own boss is writing your
own paycheck. You are the one who gets to decide what to
sell your product for, depending upon its complexity and
the time, effort, and money that you used to create it in
the first place.
Remember to be reasonable, though. Odds are, someone is
going to pay more for something that can be used as a
military grade security system than they are for Tetris.
35. Website Design
Web designers are in high demand in today’s modern
society. Many people turn to the web when looking for
information, therefore there is a high need for people who
can make these websites look as visually appealing as
possible.
Website owners need their websites to stick out compared
to the rest; something that makes them unique.
Do you have a strong proficiency in Photoshop, graphic
design, and HTML? Because if you do, then web designing
may make a great job for you.
With these skills, you also need to have a strong sense of
creativity, as well as knowledge on how to use the various
tools efficiently.
Using simple pre-made templates that you can customize
to create the websites can surprisingly get you a long way,
and people will happily pay you for it. Your employer(s)
usually don’t want to spend the time trying to figure out
how all the programs work, so this is a nice alternative for
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
many of them.
There are many sites such as Free CSS Templates that
offer access to thousands of professional templates for free
that you can edit and modify for your clients needs.
In order for you to become a web designer, here are some
steps you can take:
● First, look at freelancing sites for web design jobs such
as Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.
These types of sites allow you to set your skills and choose
what jobs you want to do. These websites narrow down as
many jobs as possible that apply to you and your skills.
It overall makes things more convenient for you. If you’ve
just begun web designing, these types of sites are a great
place to start.
● Browse job websites such as Indeed, SimplyHired and
Monster Jobs for web design jobs.
● Create a website that lists your services and showcase
some of your previous work. It's also a great place to put
up any testimonials you receive.
● Another thing you can do is ensure that you know what
you’re doing before you do it. This includes knowing how
skilled you are, looking over the descriptions for the jobs
you’re applying for, matching the difficulty to your
capability, and making sure you can do them.
There is nothing worse than entering a job where you need
to design a website for a massive magazine and you
realize, mid project, that you aren’t skilled enough to
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
complete it. If, however, you are fully confident you can
complete the job being asked, then feel free to apply.
● One last thing to do to ensure that your design is the
best it can possibly be is to make sure that it meets all set
guidelines and requirements.
This not only makes you look good and interests your
employer to possibly re-hire you, but it’s disrespectful to
not get the job done properly.
Quality is one of the most important things you have to
ensure when completing a task given to you.
For example, if you submit a web design for your local
bakery, but the design has nothing to do with the bakery,
then you’ve done it wrong. It doesn’t matter how pretty
and appealing it looks , if the design doesn’t meet what is
being asked then the job isn’t done.
● These requirements may also include deadlines. If the
design is due in a week, have it ready a day early. This
shows you’re dedicated and determined to make sure
things are created to the highest degree possible.
As well, being prepared and having done the job a day
early allows you more than enough time to double check
that everything is top-notch and ready to go.
How much can I make with web design?
This is one of the beauties of web designing, you are in
control. If you are working for an employer who is charging
you by the hour, than you could be looking at $10 or more
for every hour of work. If you are setting your own prices,
then it’s up to you. Websites are can usually go for $200© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
$500 or more for every website. However, the more
custom the design is, the more the job will probably cost.
These customizations may include custom designs, extra
pages, graphics etc.
36. Write Web Components
If you have the knowledge and ability to use Java, html,
PHP or other web-based programming languages and the
know-how on how to create web components, you might
want to take a shot at creating and selling them.
Web components allow for the creation of reusable widgets
or components in web documents and web applications.
The intention behind them is to bring component-based
software engineering to the world wide web.
Sometimes, website owners require specialized drop down
boxes or combo boxes for their many different projects
they may be doing. It’s all a matter of what the project is
and what needs to be done.
In order for you to make money creating web components,
here are some steps you can take:
● There are a few ways to make money by writing web
components. One way is to do it yourself. By creating them
yourself, you are working at your own pace and are in
complete control. There is little to nothing stopping you
(except restrictions on the project) and you’re able to
adjust the work to how you’d like.
● Create a website that lists your services and showcase
some of your previous work. It's also a great place to put
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
up any testimonials you receive.
● Another way is apply for a piecemeal job. This doesn’t
include the freedom individual work does, as it’s a job
you’re hired for, it is definitely a good way to make money.
The only difference is that the job is broken down into
smaller sections and you are working for someone else,
and not for yourself.
A good stepping stone to finding web component creation
projects is by registering at freelancing sites such as
Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.
Once the skills are selected, than the website narrows
down as many job offerings that it can find that meet your
skills and suit you best.
You are then able to browse through the many jobs and
see which ones suits you best.
This a great place to start if you’re a beginner as you are
able to choose a variety of jobs from all levels of difficulty
and doesn’t require a very strong commitment.
● Another crucial step is to make sure you read over all
descriptions that are made for the job.
This is important because it is essential that you know
what you’re getting yourself into. One of the biggest
mistakes people make (usually beginners) is that they
enter a job unprepared.
Nothing is worse than entering a job, committing to it, only
to realize later on that you don’t have the ability or knowhow to do it effectively and properly.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
This could lead to bad ratings and won't look good when
you go on to do more jobs. It’s better to do it right the first
time than to do it right after many failures.
● A third step to follow is to insure that your delivery
meets (and exceeds) the standards and requirements for
the job. If you are looking to get paid in full, make sure
that you don’t spend any more time on the job than what
is needed, you need to make sure that the work you’ve
done is to a presentable standard.
Also, not only does this make sure the job is done correctly
and properly, but it makes you look good, increasing the
chance of building a long term relationship with the
employer. If you are looking to learn and get more job
offerings, building a good reputation and doing jobs to an
immaculate degree is a must.
How much can I charge for web components?
The amount of money you can charge people for your work
can vary drastically. Depending on how good it’s done, the
difficulty of the job, and the time it took you to write it,
you can charge anywhere from a few dollars to a few
hundred dollars. But, keep in mind. If you are new to the
web component writing world, you need to build a strong
reputation before you start charging big bucks for your
work.
37. Create Automation Software
The world is quickly evolving. With this evolution, software
is starting to be created that allow people to do tasks
without doing very much, if any, manual labor.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Many people are interested in the type that provides this
service. If you don’t know any, think of the software that
corrects your spelling or grammar mistakes when you’re
typing something (on Google Docs, for example).
Other forms of this software is automated software used
for rewriting articles, article re-writing, converting PDF
documents to word documents, and so on.
Now, many people think that all of these automation
software programs are already out there and are already in
use, but there is still a lot of tasks that have yet to be
identified.
If you have the capability of finding tasks that could use a
software to make the work easier to do, and create it, then
you can make yourself some good money, especially if you
can save businesses a lot of time and money.
In order for you to make money with automation software,
here are some steps you can take:
● One of the first steps you can take to create money from
automation software is to look through the jobs posted on
freelancing sites such as Freelancer.com, Guru.com,
Upwork.com, etc., and find what services are in demand
that you could potentially automate.
It is overall more convenient for you and is a great place to
start for people who are new to this field. An example of a
service that could be needed by someone is they need a
software that allows them to extract certain data from a
site and put it into a spreadsheet.
After creating the software, you can search to see if there
are other people who need this same software capability or
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
service.
● The next step is to mass-market your new software if
there is a high demand for that specific service. When
there are many people who are looking for this one thing
(for example, spell checker), then mass marketing that
software can not only get the product/idea out to more
people, but it also boosts sales. This leads to more money
in your pocket.
● A third thing you could do is turn your software into a
service and charge people for it. Let's say, for example,
you have someone who wants you to do a spell check for
their book and you have the only software capable of doing
that. Then you could charge that person a fee for you to do
it.
● Another option is to take jobs and charge the same rate
that would be charged as if it were being done with manual
work. But, while doing the job, you use the software to
speed up the process. This is great for both you and your
customers. You are getting jobs done quicker and easier,
allowing you access to ‘easy’ money, and the customer is
getting their job done. By doing this, you’re also not selling
the product, but rather using it yourself.
How much money can I make from creating automation
software?
Most software can usually be found at a price of $100 or
less. If you are doing the job and providing the service
yourself, then you can charge people on a per-entry basis.
This allows you to be in control of how much you are
making and set limitations.
An example of this is if you were getting names and
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
contact information from a site, you could charge $0.01
per contact collected. Overall, with a little knowhow, this
job could be great for you.
38. Modify Existing Software
Because of technology and software of the modern world,
we are able to create large texts in English and translate
them over to French or German (for example) in seconds.
But unfortunately, more times than not, we find something,
usually software, are good, but could use various
improvements. Yeah, the software does what it’s supposed
to do, but wouldn’t it be great if it could do a few extra
things, as well?
A good way to make money is to take this software that
needs improving, make the improvements, and sell it back
to the company or sell the improvements to the people
who use the software already. Although this may be tricky
and require some knowledge in how to create and update
software, or how to hire a programmer, it is definitely a
good way to make some extra cash.
In order for you to make money modifying software, here
are some steps you can take:
● The first step is to check freelancing sites such as
Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc., for software
modification jobs.
When you register for these sites, they often, if not always,
ask for what skills you have. When you input them, it
narrows down job offerings that best suit you.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Some software programs, such as Photoshop, have the
ability to load certain "presets" called filters and actions.
As an example, you could create a filter that creates
golden text or an action that converts a 2 dimensional
image into a 3-dimensional ecover graphic.
● Browsing forums related to different software programs
can be a great place to find people looking for new
functionality of existing software.
How much money can I make from improving existing
software?
This will depend on the software you work with, how many
modifications you make, and if you’re being paid hourly or
per project. You can expect $10-$20 an hour or more,
usually.
If you are working and charging per project, than the
freedom to choose your rates is yours. If you choose this
option, then you need to be cautious of what people will
probably pay and make realistic pricing based on that.
39. Start Your Own Search Engine
Have you ever thought of creating your own search engine
online? Believe it or not, it is a fun way to earn an
additional income. You can offer it to your friends and
family members, and then, when you are ready, you can
start offering it to others.
Take a second and think about a popular niche – could you
imagine offering a search engine solely within that niche?
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
By doing this, your search engine will be more appealing to
those who are passionate about the niche you have
chosen. They would look at your search engine as a great
way to get more information on something they enjoy.
You don’t have to be a designer or coder to create your
own search engine – some people are under the
impression that it will take a large amount of work, so they
turn away from this idea. But there are several scripts that
you can buy that will give you a ready-to-go search engine.
In order for you to make money with your own search
engine, here are some steps you can take:
● Get a script or software that will allow you to have a
search engine on your website. Here's a cheap one you can
try: http://your-own-search.com/.
● Don’t spam people with invitations to use your new site,
however, it doesn’t hurt to start out by inviting your friends
and family members to try it out.
Encourage everyone you know to use your search engine
and add content.
● Encourage Users to Share - Tell people you have invited
to use your search engine that they would be helping you if
they shared your search engine with others they know. The
more people you have using your search engine, the more
money you’re going to make.
● Promote your new search engine on websites and forums
that are related to the niche of your site. You could even
consider buying advertising on these same websites.
● Attract new customers by using social media and PPC
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
advertising such as Google Adwords and Bing Ads.
How much money can I make with my own search engine?
I’m not telling you you can make millions from a search
engine like Google does, but I’m telling you it is possible to
make decent money from it.
You may be wondering how it’s even possible to make
money from your search engine. Basically, it all depends on
the amount of advertisement clicks and visitors you get
into your search engine – this is why we’re telling you the
more people you have using your search engine, the more
money you can make make.
You can earn anywhere from $0.1 to $4, maybe even $5
per click from advertising revenue such as hosting banner
ads or by using Google Adsense – again, this amount will
all depend on the niche you are working on. Some niches
actually pay more than others, so this is something you
should look into before you create website.
On an ending note, here’s a nice story for you - years ago,
a guy was sitting on the Internet and he got tired of
sorting through everything just to find what he needed.
With those thoughts in his mind, he decided to create a
system that would make it easier to find what you’re
looking for – something like an “index” in a book. Yeah,
that’s exactly what it was – an index! When he got done,
he came up with the name – "Google" and now, today he
has billions! Does this story inspire you to make your own
search engine?
Sure, you may not be able to kick Google off the top, but
you could definitely make money if you were to build your
own custom search engine.

40. Monitor Website Uptime
It’s imperative that a webmasters website is up and
running at all times and the importance of it's functioning
cannot be stressed enough.
Should their website ever go down, webmasters have a
usual tendency of spending hours looking into the
aforementioned crash, as many webmasters main source
of income come from the websites themselves.
In other words, no website, ultimately means no money.
It is important that the website remains active and it is not
uncommon for webmasters to hire people with the specific
purpose of monitoring the status of a particular website
and letting them know if there is a problem immediately.
This process is referred to as, "uptime monitoring."
Software specifically designed to monitor a website’s
uptime is actually available too. After a day or so of the
software monitoring a website, it then only becomes a
matter of the employee putting in a websites details,
downloading the necessary files, and presenting them to
the webmaster or anyone else who may have hired them.
It is also not uncommon for webmasters to know about
these uptime monitoring software programs as well, but
many of them would prefer to have someone else handle it
for them as it can become time consuming.
In order for you to make money by providing uptime
services, here are some steps you can take:
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Anyone interested should start by browsing the internet
and downloading a free uptime monitoring software. There
are quite a few available, but a good place to start would
be Ping Monitor.
• The next step would be to get registered in one of the
many freelance websites online such as Freelancer.com,
Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc., Look for uptime monitoring
jobs on these same sites.
• After being hired by someone it is advised that, as an
employee, you should generate reports from the software
frequently and provide them to the buyer as agreed.
● Create a website that lists your services offered, pricing
and what reports you offer. A good example of a uptime
monitoring service provider is
https://www.siteuptime.com/.
● As stated before, many people looking to hire an uptime
monitor will more than likely know of uptime monitoring
software, therefore, any employee hired should be aware
that they have been hired with the sole purpose of saving
their employer as much time as possible.
How much money can I make monitoring websites?
You should gather as many clients as you can. Should you
charge a monthly fee, (even $10 to send a detailed report
weekly) and get 300 clients that would amount to $3,000 a
week on its own!
An alternative to becoming an uptime monitor could be
becoming a salesman for the uptime monitoring software
that many webmasters use to stay on track and up-to-date
with their website.

41. Answer Questions
If there’s one thing you’re very knowledgeable in, then
start an internet site for yourself and let people ask any
questions that they have about that subject. You may
either charge a per-question fee or a monthly fee. Because
there's a lot of sites that offer answers for free, you want
to be certain that if you do this, it’s on a topic that you are
an expert in and are worth paying for advice.
Another, much easier option is to sign up with sites that
will pay you to answer questions such as Just Answer. The
only difference here is that you'll get paid less that if you
owned the website.
In order for you to make money for answering questions,
here are some steps you can take:
● Establish yourself as a professional in a niche by writing
articles, making a blog, or perhaps a Kindle e-book. You
can advertise your service through these same mediums.
● Advertise on websites or forums related to your niche,
social networks such as Facebook and amongst friends.
● Times change, blogging changes and lately it has become
popular for people to want to have their own Q&A or forum
website which is related to the same topic your blog is
about. In this way the people who are already interested in
your blog can now ask questions about the topic or topics
which you write about. Everyone at some time has the
need to have questions answered.
● If you answer questions for free on your own forum, you
can make money indirectly by placing banner ads on your
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
forum or by using services such as Google Adsense which
will pay you per click.
● Just consider the possibilities that you can give people a
chance to engage in a community with others who are
knowledgeable on a certain subject and as the question
and answer process goes on you can learn a lot from it as
well.
You can easily grow your reputation this way and as time
goes on you can provide different postings about the topics
that are currently of interest and that people are seeking
answers to. In this way you will direct more traffic to your
blog.
● One amazing web application that lets anyone without
any technical know-how to build and customize their own
Q&A community is Qhub. It lets you manage your Q&A
website with very little effort or time. Qhub also lets your
users start their own groups, connect with each other and
receive a notification in their e-mail when someone they
know asks a question.
After they have logged in, users can decide which tags
(keywords) they’d like to watch and once someone asks a
question that is tagged with that particular keyword they
will receive an instant notification. Qhub gives you the
opportunity to create an active community which supports
itself because it has the ability to connect multiple users.
Whatever you choose, the most important thing to
remember is that people are always seeking answers to
many different things.
How much money can I make from answering questions?
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
You may charge anything from $.10 per question to $100
per question, depending on your expertise. You may
additionally prefer to charge a monthly fee for “x” amount
of questions per month.
Lastly, you can earn anywhere from $0.10 to $1 a click
from advertisements on your blog, forum or Q&A site which
can quickly add up if it becomes popular.
42. Install Scripts And Software
Many people aren't technologically savvy in the slightest
degree. Plenty of individuals don’t understand more than
how to check their email and browse online but would like
to make an internet site or blog.
This is also one of the simplest jobs to make very quick
money. Most people are aware of only the basics of the
internet like browsing, email, etc. Such people might
require assistance in getting applications installed into their
system or on their website. If you are very good in those
things, then you can provide such assistance for people for
a fee.
In order for you to make money installing software and
scripts, here are some steps you can take:
● Create a website for yourself and list down the services
you provide. You can advertise on forums related to
software, social networks, amongst friends, or even in your
local newspaper.
● Get yourself registered on some of the freelancing sites
such as Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc., and
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
check for installation jobs.
● When people create websites, they will often need to
install scripts such as Wordpress, that will allow them to
run a blog.
These types of software scripts are a little more
complicated than standard software that you run on your
PC, tablet or phone.
Often, they will require someone to set up a database on
their webhosting server. This is where your service would
come in handy.
● Not only can you make money installing software and
scripts, but you can make even more money by
customizing them for the user.
For example, people who get Wordpress installed might
have no idea how to use it or make their website look
exactly how they want it. Again, here is where you can
help by setting everything up for them for extra money.
How much money can I make installing software?
● You can make anywhere from $20-$50 per installation
and upwards.
43. Forum Hosting Service
If you know how to set up a hosting server, then you can
provide forum hosting services.
By doing this, you are allowing less technically savvy
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
people to set up their own forum on your website quickly
and easily.
By getting a forum on somebody else's servers, people can
skip most of the technical aspects of running a forum by
getting someone else to take care of the difficult and
technical stuff.
The downside is that they won't actually own the forum,
but they will however, have control of it.
You can easily find free and excellent forums to install,
such as this one. That script allows you to host multiple
forums on one site.
In order for you to make money with a forum hosting
service, here are some steps you can take:
● Create a website for yourself to promote your services.
Decide whether you're going to charge a fee for each
forum or whether you'll give them away for free in
exchange for advertisements.
● Set up a server and get a forum hosting script from
http://www.phpbbhs.com/index.html or from some
another alternative.
● Get people to create forums on your server by giving
them attractive deals.
You could even let people create forums for free while
displaying Google Adsense ads or some other adverts on
them. This way, you can make money to cover your costs
and make a nice profit as the forums grow more popular
and attract more members.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
One site that follows the "free forum" model is
https://www.proboards.com/. They currently have over
10,000 forums hosted on their servers!
Many of their users would require the paid upgrade they
offer because their forum has become successful and they
need the extra features. You could offer something similar.
Offer free forum hosting at first, but offer a "pro" version
that has more features and benefits or even no ads.
● Market your forum hosting site by advertising on various
websites which are frequented by people who are
interested in hosting forums such as webmaster websites.
How much can I earn out of a forum hosting service?
● This depends on what you charge customers. You'll
additionally prefer to offer the forum hosting services for
free and easily create cash off of advertising revenue. With
time you will be able to see when you profit and you’ll be
able to decide what the best way is for you to generate
cash.
44. Backup Storage Service
Online backup services let individuals and businesses store
their important files in the "cloud". This is an internetbased network of remote data centers that are hosted by
third parties. People back up their data so that it is
protected against computer breakdowns and emergencies
so they won’t lose any of their files. You can start your own
data backup business two ways – one is by purchasing
your own servers and the other is working as a reseller for
a bigger company.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
In order to make money with your own backup storage
service, here are some steps you can take:
● First of all, you have to decide what kind of backup
business you want to run. If you have the knowledge you
can host the backup service on your own or to gain
experience you can become a reseller for a pre-existing
backup service.
● If you have chosen to host your own backup service then
you must purchase sufficient hardware. You must make
sure the you have enough bandwidth for average uploads
of 1-2 megabytes per second. A most important factor is
speed if you are to have many loyal customers so you will
need to have the best hardware that you can possibly
afford.
● Next up you must decide on what cloud service you'll be
using if you choose to back up data in the cloud. Some
good choices are Amazon’s cloud service or Vembu’s
StoreGrid. Even though these are costlier month to month
than buying your own hardware, they can be more reliable
and provide uninterrupted power for you customers. So
this is an important consideration.
● If you choose to be a reseller then you must decide on
which backup service to partner with. The month to month
costs might be higher but this will depend on how many
customers you have. There are lots of services that offer
turnkey solutions for quick web development and setup.
Two that offer quick reseller business opportunities are
Livedrive and MyPC Backup.
● You’ll have to price your service in order to allow for
tiered pricing that will be based on the gigabytes stored.
Keep in mind that you don't want to offer a flat fee for all
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
of your customers because you won't make as much
money. What you want to do instead is to offer tiered plans
like $20 a month for 0-20 GB stored, $35 a month for 2150 GB stored and so on.
● Next you have to market your service. Some places to
start would be advertising via PPC on sites such as Google
Adwords and Bing Ads. You can also market your services
by approaching various companies which might use your
services and offer then a great deal.
● It might even be a good idea to offer a free trial to get
customers to try out your service. There are so many
services out there at this moment that you must make
sure that people understand why yours is different and why
they should consider it.
Perhaps something like 24/7 customer support or even
personalized services for users who have experience
problems. In other words once your backup service has
been launched you want to see that day by day your
customer count is growing and that more and more people
are becoming aware that you are out there and you
provide great service.
How much money can I make providing backup services?
You can earn anywhere from $5 a month to hundreds of
dollars a month per client.
45. Create Website Templates
One thing that you can do to earn money is to create and
sell website templates. If you have knowledge about
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
website and graphic design then you can design some
templates and sell them online. The internet always
requires new and creative templates as more and more
people are creating their own websites. Keep in mind that
in this case, freelancers can earn good money by selling
their unique creations. There are many different website
available that can give you enough exposure to showcase
your work.
In order for you to become a template designer, here are
some steps you can take:
● Create or purchase templates - Today, it is very
important that a business has a website of their own and
business owners usually face problems because they know
nothing about web design.
Therefore this is where you can step in and provide website
templates that can let anyone build up a professional
looking website no matter of their computer skills.
In fact, if you choose, you could even resell other people's
templates. What you can do is buy a website template
package with full resale rights from a company such as
Hoover Web Templates or InDigitalWorks.
You just have to be sure that these packages include the
full resale right so you don’t get into trouble when you
resell them.
● Set up a website - Next you’ll need to purchase a web
hosting account and a domain name which ideally includes
the word "templates" in it, such as"mybesttemplates.com."
On this site you’ll be selling the templates you have
purchased.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
To make a good business, you’ll want to choose a specific
name for each template and it will be easier to identify the
files for each template. You’ll also be required to create ZIP
files for each individual template since the ZIP file will be
the package in which you will deliver the template to your
customers.
● Pricing - One of the more difficult things is to decide on
the price for your templates. Remember that the price
must cover the cost that you paid for the templates and let
you generate a profit. In order to start making money you
have to open a PayPal account so that your customers can
click on a "buy button" to purchase the template of their
choice and the money will go into your account.
Keep in mind that if you choose to start as a template
reseller, you’ll gain the experience you need to sell
templates and still generate money.
● Advertise your business - After a time you can choose to
start creating your own or expanding your business as a
reseller. Either way, you’ll need to advertise your website in
business-related forums and blogs.
You might also choose to let the social sites know that you
are in business selling templates.
Another option is to advertise your website on PPC (payper-click) sites such as Google Adwords and Bing Ads.
If you are not sure how things will turn out then the best
way will be to begin selling ready-made templates. Another
reason why people choose to be resellers is that you get
access to all of the new products the company has to offer
and also get to know all of the latest updates so your
customers can readily have all kinds of new designs and

styles.
How much can I make from creating and selling website
templates?
Templates typically sell for anything from $10 to $500,
depending on the complexity of the template. If you are
doing one-off, custom-designed sites, then you'll charge a
premium fee. If you have chosen to be a reseller of
templates you can earn $100 a day.
46. Online Virtual Store
You can set up an online store by using either
dropshipping companies as we talked about earlier, or by
selling something that you create (some examples are
homemade candles, scrapbooks, or quilts).
You can either mass-market items, or you can offer your
services and have people pay you per order, and then only
start acquiring the product once you get paid (for example
once someone gives you money you start knitting a quilt).
In order for you to create an online virtual store, here are
some steps you can take:
● Design a website for yourself and set up a virtual store
along with payment methods. You can also register as a
seller on eBay or Amazon.
Online you can find a lot of free software which you can
use to create an incredible website. There are different
templates to choose from that will help you plan your
virtual store. As you build your virtual store make sure you
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
take everything into consideration like different payment
methods and a shopping cart.
● Once you are ready to launch your virtual store make
sure you have tested it's functionality. If you find it difficult
to do this on your own you, hire someone who can help
you through the entire process.
● If you intend on dropshipping, identify wholesale dealers.
You can do a search on Google or use this site. Otherwise,
identify people who supply the materials you need for your
own product.
● Remember that even in your virtual store you need to
take inventory and after a while you will see just want kind
of products are the most in demand.
● Another good thing to do is to add an area on your site
or blog where people can ask questions or comment and
even leave reviews about your products. Make sure you
thank them right away and answer their questions. If you
make a very good impression you’ll have many loyal
customers.
● You might also consider doing some research on the
social networks to see what kinds of products are being
promoted there. Whenever you hear about anything new
make sure you have all the information before you place
this product in your virtual store. You might also consider
looking through some other online virtual stores to get
some ideas and see how it all works.
● For some examples of some great virtual stores, check
out this site. They all run on a platform called Shopify.
Shopify is a complete ecommerce solution that allows you
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
to set up an online store to sell your goods. It lets you
organize your products, customize your storefront, accept
credit card payments, track and respond to orders — all
with a few clicks of the mouse.
● If you have products that come with certain accessories
make sure that you virtual store has them on-hand. Always
take inventory after a while and if there are products that
just don’t sell well change them with different products.
How much money can I make out of an online virtual
store?
Your profit will be the difference between the price charged
by the wholesaler and the price you charge the customer.
It’s hard to give an estimate on this since different
products have considerably different prices. Some people
make $10,000's a day with virtual stores.
47. Affiliate Marketing
If you don't want to sell products either via dropshipping,
where the product is directly delivered from the
manufacturer to the customer, or selling your own products
then another opportunity is to become an affiliate.
Becoming an affiliate means that you refer people to other
sites and earn a commission each time a sale is made. You
can become an affiliate for major stores such as Target,
Wal-Mart or Amazon, as well as very specific niche sites.
Basically, affiliate marketing is an internet-based marketing
practice and the business you choose to affiliate with
rewards you for each customer you send to them. Every
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
year you can be sure that hundreds of millions of dollars
are being earned in affiliate marketing and it is looked
upon as being one of the easiest ways to start making
money online.
Affiliate marketing is very simple and what a lot of people
like is that they don’t have to own a website, blog or even
product to begin with.
In order for you to become an affiliate marketer, here are
some steps you can take:
● The first thing to do is sign up with an affiliate program
that offers a wide range of affiliate products or you can
search Google for "affiliate programs".
One of the affiliate sites that I use a lot is Clickbank.com.
They have over 10,000 different products you can
promote, and earn anywhere from 20-75% commission of
the sale price.
Some other popular ones include Commission Junction and
JVZoo. Those sites are both directories and can give you
more information about hundreds of merchants with
affiliate programs.
● Then you have the task to do research on who or what
your target market will be. It is not advisable to try to
promote a wide range of products that have no connection
with each other.
● If you don’t have your own website you can make use of
sites such as Squidoo and get a free webpage. The affiliate
program will provide you with links and banners that you’ll
insert into your website and you can begin marketing your
site.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Alternatively, you could simply write reviews of products
and then send people directly to the pages of the products
that you are mentioning.
● The most important thing is that you can decide what
type of products you want to promote and how expensive
you want the products to be.
Then you can also choose to promote products which come
with accessories so that you are not just providing one
product but a group of products which are associated with
each other.
● Choose and promote products which you know about
instead of choosing products that you have never tried
yourself or you have no idea about how they work. You can
take a look online and see which products are popular or
which aren’t. You can even choose to promote products
which people use day in and day out and that way you can
even earn recurring monthly commissions.
● You can use several different methods to advertise
affiliate programs that range anywhere from social media
to PPC advertising on sites such as Google Adwords and
Bing Ads.
Remember that with affiliate marketing, like any other kind
of business, can take time and patience to set up correctly.
How much money can I make out of being an affiliate?
● Some affiliate programs will pay per lead - anywhere
from $.20 to $100 - while others charge a percentage of
sales - while others pay a flat amount per sale. It is highly
different for each type of program.

48. Build A Directory
Internet directories help people find listings of businesses,
products and many other kinds of sites that the directory
includes.
A good example of a directly site is DMOZ. They are the
largest web directory in the world.
You can choose any kind of topic you prefer and build a
quality directory on it. On this directory, you would create
hyperlinks to all the best websites related to the category
of the directory.
Afterwards, you would place advertisements on your site or
you could charge people who want to list their website in
your directory.
If you prefer, you could create a simple business directory
similar to the yellow pages phone book. You can also
create a more complex directory consisting of blogging
features, calendars and games and user accounts to aide
directory website visitors and members.
In order for you to start an internet directory, here are
some steps you can take:
● Some of the things you will need are – a directory script,
domain name and web hosting.
These scripts will provide the essential tools you will need
for a directory website. Directory scripts are both free and
paid. What you must do is consider your skills and
knowledge of web design when making your choice. Keep
in mind that paid scripts will provide support and more
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
advanced features.
A good example of a free directory script is eSyndiCat.
● You must purchase a domain name and web hosting.
Domain names can usually be purchased at the same place
where you purchase web hosting service such as
GoDaddy.com.
Be sure to make the domain name an easy one to
remember as this will help your directory’s "brand" and it
will also help visitors to remember the site. You can start
off with the most basic web hosting plan and afterwards
you can always upgrade your hosting account once you
have established your directory and regular, daily traffic is
coming in.
● Decide on your business model and then begin setting up
the site. If you decide to charge people to appear on your
directory, make it worthwhile for them. Maybe you want to
give them a few months for free as you build up traffic, or
give some other perks that shows them why they should
sign up with you.
● Once you log-on to your script’s administrative panel you
can make any modifications that are necessary. Then you’ll
have to upload a logo or header image and make any
changes you need to the design elements. If you lack the
knowledge to do any of this you can hire a freelance web
developer.
You’ll add categories to your directory website and the
administrative or control panel for your directory provides
options for adding, deleting or changing categories and
listings. The kind of online directory you decide to create
will also determine the categories you’ll add.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Some possible categories might be shopping centers,
restaurants or retail and department stores.
How much money can I make out of an online directory?
If you choose to list websites for free then you'll be paid for
the advertisements that can range anywhere from $.01 to
much more money per click by using advertising platforms
such as Google Adsense..
You could also charge people to list advertisements on your
site - anywhere from $20 a month to thousands of dollars,
depending on how much traffic your site gets.
Another choice is charging a monthly fee – anywhere from
$5 to $50 to more for premium listing.
49. Stock Photography
If you are interested in photography, then you can take
some interesting pictures and sell them as stock photos.
Stock Photography is simply the act of licensing your
photos so that people can use them as they wish. This is a
fun way to make money on a passion that you might
already have.
If you really enjoy taking photos then selling them online
through royalty-free stock photography websites can be a
fantastic way to earn residual income.
All of these kinds of websites have large collections of
stock photos ready for customers to download for a small
fee.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Keep in mind that when you sell stock photos through
these websites you’re not selling the photo itself but the
right to use the photo.
Since you are the photographer, you retain the copyright to
the photo and you can sell it in more than one place and as
many times as you wish.
There are, however, websites which let you sell exclusive
rights to your photo which means that they person who
bought the photo is the only one who can use it.
In order for you to make money with stock photography,
here are some steps you can take:
● There is an excellent website here that explains how to
sell stock photography in an extremely detailed and
concise way.
● Once you start taking the photos, build yourself a
portfolio.
● To become a success in selling stock photos online you
have to take the kind of pictures others want. Most likely
they could be photos of many different things which people
can use on their blogs.
To get an idea you can look through magazines or browse
through websites to see what kind of photos are in
demand. Also check with the stock photo websites to see
what is already being offered and how many times these
photos have been downloaded.
Some of the most popular stock photography sites include:
- Shutterstock.com
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
- iStockPhoto.com
- Dreamstime.com
- BigStockPhoto.com
● You’ll have to sign up as a contributor at these stock
photo websites. There are several companies that let you
sell your stock photos online, so you’ll have to visit each
website, read their guidelines and sign up. Be ready to
submit sample images which are required before you as
accepted as a contributor.
● Once you are accepted as a contributor, you can add your
images to their collection. They all have different
requirements for uploading images so make sure you know
the rules. Each and every photo you submit will be
reviewed for quality and content.
Any photo that the reviewer feels is not qualitative will be
rejected. At this point you can correct any issues and
resubmit the same photo. When you are first starting out
most likely many of your photos will be rejected.
Once your photo skills improve and you get to know
exactly what the stock photo websites are looking for, the
rejections will be fewer. Keep in mind that this is a very
competitive business you just have to persevere and soon
you’ll see that many of your photos will be on the stock
websites.
● Another thing that can help is to add appropriate
keyword to you photos when you’re trying to sell them.
When a potential buyer visits a stock photo website, they
do a search and any photos that match the search terms
will show up. Try to think about what customers would
search for if they wanted to find your photo.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
You can choose keywords like describing certain emotions,
colors, seasons and such. Use as many terms as possible
and make sure that they all are appropriate for your
image.
How much can I make out of stock photography?
● You can make anything from a few cents to thousands of
dollars depending on the demand for your stock images.
You will generally be paid on a royalty basis, getting paid
whenever someone downloads your photos. You will earn
more money if a corporation uses your picture versus just
an individual using a picture for fun on a website. As you
improve you will see what works and what doesn’t and
soon you will be doing what you really love, taking photos
and getting paid for it.
50. Misspellings
There are a lot of people who misspell domain names when
they’re looking for things, and get redirected to blank
pages.
You can buy the misspelled domains and redirect them to
the right one (including your affiliate link - see tip #47 for
more info). You will get credited with affiliate commissions
for doing nothing but capitalizing on the misspellings.
As you can see, there are different ways to make money
out of misspellings. One way is to make affiliate sales with
misspelled domains and the other is to do some SEO work
with misspellings.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
With misspelled domains what happens is that if people
type directly into the search window for say Amazon.com
but misspelled it and you were the owner of the misspelled
domain, for example "amazon.co" or "emazon.com" you
would receive daily traffic just from people who wanted to
go straight to Amazon.com.
One of the misspellings had a different ending in the
domain and the other had a misspelling in the name itself.
Therefore you can imagine that a misspelled domain for a
site such as Amazon
would bring you a much higher conversion rate.
In order for you to make money with misspellings, here are
some steps you can take:
● Look for affiliate programs to join or sites with a lot of
traffic.
● Read the affiliate terms of service and make sure they’re
ok with you finding misspellings of their product and
website domain (most are but some aren’t).
● Type in potential domains into Namecheap.com and see
what misspellings you can find.
● Buy any domains you find and have them redirect to your
affiliate link or other advertisements.
● Another strategy is by doing SEO (Search Engine
Optimization) work for misspelled domains.
Since many people make spelling errors while using search
engines there are people who put up websites, using
intended misspelling to get these visitors. Therefore it is up
to you to decide which way you want to go when it comes
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
to misspellings.
How much money can I make from misspellings?
● This is hit or miss. I have one misspelled domain that
silently made about $2,000 one year (the domain was
missing a letter from the brand name). You can leverage
by buying a lot of misspelled domains and make a nice
passive income, especially considering your investment is
about $10 (google "namecheap coupon code" when buying
your domain if you buy it on Namecheap.)
51. Create Videos
In this day and age, anyone can make money filming
videos. I don’t want to make it sound too simple, but if you
own a video camera or a decent smartphone, have at least
a minimum set of skills, and possess a keen-eye for
entrepreneurship, then you can easily start making money
with your video camera.
If you can shoot an interesting video, then you can upload
it online and make money; that’s all there is to it, really.
The beauty of the internet in the 21st Century is that there
are a plethora of different video hosting sites, some of
which offer an ad-revenue service for uploaded videos.
For instance, YouTube is one of the biggest video sharing
websites on the net, with more than 35,000 videos
uploaded each day, this will definitely be one of your first
options to start your video career.
Your video can be anything from an interesting event,
video tutorial, wedding coverage, legal video, stock
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
footage, video resumes, and so on. As long as the public
can learn something, or be entertained by your content,
then you have potential to make money with your videos.
Remember, the more views you get, the more potential
money you will make with ad revenue.
In order for you to make money with online videos, here
are some steps you can take:
● Make sure you have a good video camera with quality
lenses as well as a microphone, recording and mixing
equipment, etc.
Unfortunately, the equipment necessary to make topquality videos in a professional setting can be really
expensive, but the good thing is that we are not working
on a professional setting, and thus, we can afford to
compromise on certain items and brands.
Your requirements may vary, but these are the absolute
essentials we can come up with: A good video camera, a
tripod, a camera light or, depending on the setting and
type of footage, a three-point lighting kit, and shotgun
microphone.
Of course, there are a lot more instruments and gear that
you will need to purchase if you wish to polish your trade in
the future, but with this basic equipment on hand, you are
well on your way to producing top-quality video content.
● Create your video. The type of footage and filming style
will obviously depend on your niche. It all boils down to
deciding what type of content you want to produce.
Depending on whether you want to make documentaries,
video ads, or stock videos, the techniques and methods, as
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
well the recommended equipment, will vary.
● Register on sites like Fiverr and offer your video
production services there. See what others are offering and
create similar listings to the already-popular ones.
● As I mentioned above, the internet is full of websites in
which you can capitalize on your videos by making money
from ad revenue. Alternatively, there are also websites
such as this one that will purchase your content outright,
whether for stock footage or advertising purposes.
Furthermore, the more entrepreneurial-inclined of you may
want to create a website to host the content. This option
can either be very lucrative, or very costly; it all depends
on how you advertise yourself.
How much can I make out of online videos?
Like pretty much every job in the world, the earnings will
vary depending on the type of content and the type of
work. If you create videos on demand for people, you could
ask for a certain amount of money per minute, per hour, or
per video.
The important thing is that you build portfolio and a
reputation. As your fame increases with time, so will the
amount of customers looking to hire your services. And at
that time is when you will start seeing true profits.
52. Invest In Stocks
Investing in stocks is one of the fastest but riskier ways of
making money online. But despite the high risks, this is
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
one of the most popular ways that people use to make
money online.
This is attributed to the fact that some people believe that
the higher the risk, the higher the reward.
To be successful investing in stocks requires experience
and the ability to make the right decisions. This means that
you should get familiar with how the stock market works so
that you can make better decisions. After you become
familiar with it you can potentially make a lot of money.
In order for you to make money with investing in stocks,
here are some steps you can take:
● Do proper analysis before investing in stocks of a certain
company.
This is the primary step since the company whose stock
you invest in will determine the amount of money you will
make. Through doing proper analysis you will know which
stocks whose value is likely to increase and therefore
invest in.
If you want to invest on a short-term basis you should
consider different factors that determine which stocks are
likely to increase in value.
To learn more about how the stock market works you can
read the article here.
● Be patient - Being impatient is a common mistake where
people buy stocks of a particular company and if the value
does not increase over a short period, or if the price drops
suddenly, they sell. It is advisable to wait, especially if you
are certain that the value of the stocks will eventually
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
increase.
Do not be tempted to sell even if the value decreases a
little bit. This is because some stocks are affected by
different factors while others are seasonal where their
value decreases in certain seasons. You should only sell if
you are sure the particular company is going down or if
you have an urgent financial need.
● Understand the bullish and bearish trends. These trends
are the ones that determine whether the value of the
stocks are generally increasing or decreasing. This makes it
important to know how these trends work so that you can
know when to buy and when to sell.
● Get advice from experts. The people who have been
dealing with stocks for a considerable long time are more
likely to know the tricks and tactics which are required to
make the most money. So, in case you see that your
predictions are not working or you fail to understand
certain things, it is advisable to look for appropriate
experts and ask for advice.
● Invest smartly. Being smart while making an investment
decision is always a big determinant of whether the
investment will be profitable. Being smart include things
such as not rushing to make decisions and also diversifying
in case stocks of one company do not perform as expected.
How much money can I make investing in stocks?
In the stock market there are usually no certain limits of
how much you can make. It all depends on the number
and type of stocks you hold since some stocks have higher
returns than others. It also depend on the market trends
because trends affect the prices of the stocks.

53. Invest In Websites
One lucrative niche of making money online is by being a
website investor. This means that you buy a website,
improve it and then resell it at higher price than what you
bought it for.
If you can make even a few tweaks to improve the sites
profit, traffic and appearance and then hold on to the site
for a little bit of time, you can flip the site and make more
money than what you purchased it for.
Not only can this be lucrative, but it can be really fun to
find out about new niches and learn new things.
This practice greatly resembles that of realtors who buy
houses that are devalued, make cost- effective renovations
on them and then resell them at better prices than what
they bought them for.
In order for you to make money with buying and selling
websites, here are some steps you can take:
● Buy the website - Obviously before you sell a website,
you need to own one. Buying websites is not really difficult
as there are numerous sites that are dedicated to putting
up listings of websites on sale. One such website is
WebsiteBroker.com. When you visit the site, you will find a
place where websites for sale are briefly described, and
how much they are worth.
Depending on how much money you have to invest into
buying websites, you can choose a highly priced website or
a low priced one. Alternatively, you might know of some
website owners who want to sell their sites. Ask them how
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
much they are willing to sell them for and you are good to
start your business.
● Improve The Website - In order to make any substantial
profits from your website, you have to improve it's value.
This means that you should take steps to increase the
revenue that potential buyers can earn from the site.
To do so, you can change the layout of the website and it's
theme; making them more attractive and modern. You can
also alter such things as colors, fonts, spacing and
background; the friendlier they are the better. You should
also make page navigation easier. You could even do some
SEO work on the website to bring in more website visitors.
It may be hard work, but eventually, it will pay off.
● The Paper Work - Selling websites is a relatively new
trade, and as such, it is important that you keep your
paperwork in order. People may be skeptical about buying
websites, which are virtual properties, with their hard, cold
cash, but you can dispel their doubts by showing them that
it actually makes money. This proof lies in your records of
sales and your paperwork in general.
● Sell Your Website - When the value of your site rises, it is
time to sell it. Sell is at a reasonable price, making sure
that the buyers do not take advantage of the fact that it is
virtual property. Know the value of your website. To do so,
calculate how much you earn from the website each
month, and subtract from that what it costs to maintain
the site to calculate your monthly profit.
Then you multiply that figure by three of four times, so
that you get a rough estimate of the worth of your site.
Take care of legal matters by signing contracts of the sale
of the website for future reference, and also make

agreements on the modes of payment.
You can find a list of the 10 best places to sell websites
here.
How much money can I make buying and selling websites?
If you are keen on the job, you can earn anything between
$50 to $10,000's of dollars; there is no telling where the
job can take you. Your earnings depend on the value of
your site, and that in turn depends on how hard you have
worked to improve it's value. Additionally, you can own
multiple websites at a time with the intention of selling
them, so it all goes back to your commitment to the job.
54. Design And Sell T-shirts
T-shirts are at the epicenter of any casual wear for both
men and women. Because of their versatility, designing
and selling t-shirts has become a popular business venture
among many people. People do it either part time to
substitute their pay, or full-time as their main source of
income.
You can also make custom shirts for people. For example,
some people might want their child or spouse’s picture on a
shirt. You can use Photoshop to do any touch-ups, and
then sell the shirt for a premium price.
In order for you to make money with designing and selling
shirts, here are some steps you can take:
● Create inspiring designs - Create impressive images,
logos, or compelling text via Photoshop or other graphic

design software. Get your creations printed on t-shirts and
then start selling them online on places such as eBay and
Facebook Ads.
● There are many companies that will print custom t-shirts
for you. Some of them include Custom Ink and Uber Prints.
● Experiment with new and unique ideas that make your
style stand out. As they say, "there is nothing new under
the sun", so don’t shy away from copying, altering and
improving on pre-existing designs of logos, images and
text.
Be it animals, skulls, pyramids, spaceships or antique
weapons, you can tap into your imagination and create a
unique design. With the state-of-the-art materials and
techniques available today, you can create designs that
were previously impossible.
● Another quick way to start earning from your T-shirt
design work is to create custom designs on request.
Custom designs are specific to the person who has placed
the request. For instance some people might want a certain
image on their son’s shirt, you can easily use Photoshop for
such designing and connect with a T-shirt printer.
● Get registered in any of the online shopping sites like
Amazon and eBay.
Upload your shirt images and design details on these online
marketplaces which will open you up to a bigger market of
customers. Amazon and eBay have a lot of traffic so you
are guaranteed that someone will see your new t-shirt
designs. What you need to boost sales is a lot of positive
customer reviews and sharing the links to social media
sites.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Tell your friends and family about your new venture and
show them your designs.
This can be by word of mouth or through social media sites
like Facebook and Instagram.
If you have a lot of followers on social media, this can be a
free and easy avenue for selling your shirts. You can
upload your design images on a Facebook page and share
it with your friends.
Instagram also works great especially when you upload
nice photos of your unique design. This is the least costly
method because all you need is a social media account and
internet connection.
How much money can I make out of it?
You can actually earn a living online just designing and
selling t-shirts. The amount of money you make will
however depend on your designs, material and market.
You can start by selling t-shirts from around $10-20 and
upwards as you make your brand stronger.
55. Design Banners
Making money by designing banners is quite simple. If you
have skills in basic graphic design, then you are good to
go. These can include Photoshop, animation tools, and
many other image creation software tools. You can,
therefore, design banners to be used by companies and
websites for effective marketing and advertisements.
In order for you to make money with designing banners,
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
here are some steps you can take:
● Start your personal website and describe the type of
services you provide.
You do not need any special skills to create a website. You
simply choose a content management system platform like
WordPress.
You may also decide to choose a theme that displays the
type of services you offer. You can use Wordpress plugins
to help you create an online store or just post pages that
describe the services you offer.
● Get registered in sites that provide banner services to
customers.
These include sites such as Fiverr.com and Guru.com. You

images, this takes down your originality a notch as you
become bundled up with thousands of other designers

the opportunity to incorporate some of your creativity into
it. It adds a measure of legitimacy into your business and
lets your prospective clients see exactly what you are
capable of.

ideas and bundle them together in the most attractive way
you can, then post them up on your website. A portfolio
serves as your sales pitch; you don’t need lengthy
introductions telling people what exactly you do. Images
will have a greater impact on your prospective clients.

renovate an entire site. Either way, ensure that everything
looks visually attractive from the get go in order to get
repeat business from satisfied customers.

Some say that a picture is worth a thousand words. If this
is true, then our photo albums are a living physical
manifestation of our most treasured memories. Many of
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
the most emotional events that transpired in times past
will seldom ever be repeated, but thanks to the
technological advances in photography, we can relive these
occasions at any time in our thoughts.
However, photos suffer from an important setback; mainly
that, since they are basically printed paper, they are
exposed to all the usual wear and tear that affects this
type of material: whether the paper getting crumpled, the
colors of the image fading, or the photograph getting torn
are just a few of the hazards that your precious pictures
are exposed to.
Some people value their photographs dearly, and will
happily pay an expert to restore the pictures that get
damaged from the passage of time. This is where you
come in.

software, you can restore old pictures for people and earn
quite a bit of money in the process. The marvels of modern

efficient publicity and advertising tools.

the beginning, your internet advertising tools might not
reach a whole lot of potential customers. Because of this, it
is important that you tell everyone you know about your
services; word of mouth will be a very powerful medium to
market yourself in the beginning. The more people
spreading the word about your services, the more viral you
will become, and the more likely they will want to hire your
services.

As is expected, the money you make will vary on a photoper-photo basis. To give a fair price to your customers, you
should start by defining a base price that will apply for
each photograph or restoring assignment. Then you will
need to analyze each picture and give the client an
approximate time in which you will finish the task, along
with your hourly rate.
This will ensure that your client gets a fair price, and that
you are well-compensated for your services. If this works
out for you, you could charge anywhere from $10 to $100
per assignment, depending on the photo of course.

any niche, then you can make good money out of it.

will not be approved until you pass this test. Before you
take the test, it would be wise to familiarize yourself with
writing SEO articles.

aspects of the instructions are not clear, it is advisable that
you seek clarification from either the customer or
customer. All the keywords must be used in your article as

does not specify the number of times you can use the
keyword, 1 to 3 percent keyword density would be
acceptable.
Most importantly, you must ensure you write your articles
within the time frame provided. Most sites will not accept
any late submissions.

approved while the other 10-20% will require some
editing.

reading books digitally. This may be because hard copies
take up space and cost more. Many authors now prefer
publishing e-books to printed form books because they

Some of the advantages associated with e-books include
reduced publishing costs, minimal revenue splitting and
eliminated shipping costs. E-books are even advantageous
to you because you can always target the marketing to a

niche you are writing for. For this case, it is advisable that
you write how-to tutorials and guides. If you choose to
write a fictional book, you also need to decide which genre
you are going to write on. In this case, fantasy and
romance sell well and therefore are good choices. These

68. Teach Online
If you are an expert in any subject, then start teaching
online and make money from it.
You can teach any topic to anyone in any part of the world.
There is a constant requirement for online teachers,
especially from the US and China.
A lot of students need online help with homework,
assignments, etc. There is also a great demand from
Chinese students who want to learn English. Another idea
is to teach online computer classes to people.
In order for you to start teaching online, here are some
steps you can take:
● Browse through freelancing sites such as Freelancer.com,
Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc. and look for teaching jobs.

It would be advisable to check out any reviews for the
websites to ensure they are legitimate and not online
scams. If you find a number of negative reviews on a
website, avoid it. In addition, check whether your website
has contact details. If possible, try find out where they are
located. You can even try calling the number listed on the
website to find out whether it is working or not.
● Start your own website and list down the subjects you
teach and your fees. Such a website must look professional
if you are to be trusted with what you are offering. Avoid

the services you are offering.
● Provide as much information as possible about yourself,
especially professional credentials. List all the disciplines
that you can teach. Specify the level of expertise for each
of these disciplines. For instance, if you hold a
postgraduate or doctorate degree in a given field, say so.
Here, you can concentrate only on clients who need expert
assistance. Under normal circumstances, such clients pay
more than those seeking general assistance. You get to
spend less time online, yet earn more than general
teachers. You must specify the times of day or night you
will be available. You can also agree with your students
when to engage one on one.
● Provide proper services for your students as agreed.
Monitor results so you can mention them to new
prospective students. You want to develop a close
professional relationship with your students. This will go a
long way in improving their performance. Monitor and
record their performance where you can. You can use this

Instead of working for a company as an e-tutor, you can

more money if you will start your own tutoring company
instead of working alone or for others.

subjects. You can access these tutors online. You need to
carry out proper interviews so that you will locate the right
professionals.
● One place to locate tutors is at freelancing sites such as

want them to behave. Take time to inform the tutors on
how you would like them to behave. This is necessary for
you to make their work easier. Always inform them about
the quality of services you will expect them to provide
clients.
You can spare some time and introduce each tutor whom
you are about to hire to the rest of your team.

order to gauge the level of customer satisfaction of your
customers, you need to interact with clients and ask them

intervene in good time so that you will rectify the situation.

platform, then there are high chances you will make a lot
of money. You should try and carry out online marketing so
that other people will find out about the services you offer.
You should also try and improve the level of customer
satisfaction. It will also depend on the amount you will pay
the tutors and the amount you will keep as commissions. If
you will earn $15 per hour and pay tutors $10 each hour,
then you will remain with a commission of $5 per hour.
70. Researching
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
With new businesses popping up every day, there is a
constant requirement for internet research and data
collection.
This shows up in many ways. For example, before someone
starts a new business, they might need to collect some
basic data about the business: it's supply and demand, it's
profitability, areas or countries where it can run well, etc.
People that are looking for this are ready to hire someone
to collect such data and provide a report for them. They
will use this report to decide if they should even begin the
business.
There are other types of research jobs available as well,
and this can be a fun way to learn about a lot of new
things.
Some other examples are, data entry, article writing, excel
spreadsheets, email handling, just to name a few. The
decision to start with the business or not, depends on the
results of the research.
In order to make money with online research work, here
are some steps you can take:
● Get yourself registered on freelancing sites such as
Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.
These type of sites are excellent for stretching out and
developing a reputation for yourself. They generally have a
small fee, and will sometimes require a percentage of
earnings that you make with them. They have already
developed a clientele that trusts them which will make your
entry into the online workforce a little easier.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Apply for web research jobs. The more you apply the
better your chances of getting a project awarded to you.
Be sure to read the description of the project and make
sure you understand it. Be ready to ask questions if
necessary, it’s very important to your clients to know that
you know what is expected.
● Do in-depth research and provide a report as required by
the buyer. Follow instructions to the letter. Remember, the
only thing the client has to judge you on is the quality of
your work. Most of the time they are not meeting you or
speaking to you in person, so the only way you have to
prove yourself is through the work you have submitted.
Good work equals happy client equals payment and
possibly more future work!
How much money can I make out of such research jobs?
● If you work on fixed price jobs, you can expect anything
between $5-$200 depending on the difficulty and the depth
of research required. One thing to keep in mind while you
are building your business or reputation is that there is a
lot of competition, and you may have to be willing to
charge a little less for your services just until you start
building up your clientele.
● If you work on hourly jobs, you can charge anything
between $3 and $50 depending on your experience and
reputation.
71. Sell Online Learning Videos
We live in a technological era and our society is, in many
ways, dependent on technology.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Simply put, without technology we would collectively stop
functioning as a civilization. On the other hand, this
exponential increase in technological developments has
become the perfect breeding ground for self-education.
This has created a market - a market for people who have
extensive knowledge about certain topics. They sell their
knowledge and educate others. If you have knowledge
about a certain subject, you can monetize it by selling
instructional and educational videos.
In order for you to make money selling instructional
videos, here are some steps you can take:
● The first thing we are going to focus on is the content.
For your videos to be successful you need to provide value
to your customers.
What does this mean? This means that you need to lay out
in-depth, useful information to your customers in a simple
way. Make the videos easy to digest by people who have
no extensive knowledge about the subject you're teaching
about. Your videos need to be concise and straight to the
point.
This combination of high quality content and simple
presentation is what leads to success.
● Those who manage to convey their ideas in a simple
manner are the best teachers and, if you are selling
educational videos that's what you essentially are - a
teacher, a mentor, if you will.
Think of it this way: In order to gain trust from your
customers you need to assert yourself as a knowledgeable
authority and as a person willing and able to share their
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
knowledge with others, for a certain compensation of
course. This compensation is what we will focus on below actual ways to make money selling your videos.
● There are countless ways to monetize your educational
videos but the best way is to build your own website from
scratch. Develop your website and make it look
professional. List your credentials and references. Provide
proof to your visitors that you are the real deal. After that
its time to fill your website with high quality content.
● Publish blog entries related to your area of expertise.
Write attention-grabbing content that will make your
visitors eagerly come back for more. This will serve as a
certain bait - people who visit your website will want to
learn more and, if you indeed offer them high quality
content and good advice, they will be ready to pay for any
additional knowledge that you can provide them with. Once
you establish a connection between yourself and your
website visitors it's time to start selling them your videos.
● You can publish short previews of your videos, perhaps in
a "Premium" section of your website. These previews will
be an additional bait and another way to get people to pay
for the content. Make sure to let them know they will be
getting top notch, high quality information if they decide to
purchase your videos. Basically, once you make your
videos you need to upload them to your website and offer
your visitors to download them for a certain fee.
How much money can I make from creating instructional
videos?
Now, your fee can be anywhere from $10 to $100's - it
depends on the quality of your content and on the
willingness of your website visitors to pay for them. How
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
much are they willing to pay? What sort of content do they
want? Analyze your target demographic and give them
what they want - this type of analysis is what increases
sales more than anything else. Experiment with the fee,
until you find the best price.
72. Review Apps
With the word becoming more tech savvy, many
programmers have found it a booming market to come up
with new apps that solve the needs of people across the
world.
In addition, many of these programmers are always ready
to pay for outside reviewers, as they want honest feedback
about the new apps that they create.
If you are a software expert, you can provide honest
reviews for the programmers regarding their apps for a
fee. Every time you do offer these services, you should
ensure you provide a review that is in-depth about both
the Pros and Cons of the app being reviewed.
You can charge a fee based on the demand for your review
and your expertise in the area (Example:
http://www.softwarejudge.com/,
http://philip.greenspun.com/software/design-review)
In order to make money from app review services, here
are some steps you can take:
● You can start by writing some short software reviews on
your website or blog for free to show your potential
customers your experience that would enable them to trust
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
your work. In addition, this will show people the level of
quality which you can provide. When people see your
samples, they will be able to appreciate your work and at
the same assess your skills and knowledge on software.
You must do your research well before writing the reviews
of software if you want people to trust your work.
● You should also look at software forums that people use
whenever they are creating new apps. You might even be
able to advertise your app review service on these same
forums.
● The internet has always been an important source of
information for people who need to learn about new apps
available for download. When you do a Google search or
search the different app stores, you will find potential
prospects that might require your services, especially if you
write good reviews. Through this, they will be satisfied with
the information that you provide.
How much can you make reviewing apps?
When you provide the services, you can always charge
from $10 to even thousands of dollars. The amount of
money that you will charge depends on your expertise and
reputation. You could also consider having a company
where many people do software reviews, and then you
would create one large comprehensive report with
everyone’s insight for a company. This could net you
significantly more profit.
73. Telecommuting Jobs
Telecommuting jobs permit you to work from a remote
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
location rather than working from a centralized traditional
office. These remote locations can be from a coffee shop,
home, or even a hotel room.
The internet, phones, instant messaging, webcams, and
faxes are some of the advanced technologies that enable
this kind of work arrangement.
You might be interested to know the hype behind
telecommuting jobs. Well, today employees are constantly
leaving their traditional offices for a variety of reasons:
higher productivity, shorter commute, greater flexibility,
and money savings.
The employees who telecommute are generally happier
too. Also, these jobs are real and well-paid. If you can
properly manage the distractions & stay disciplined, you
can build the ideal qualities to become a successful
telecommute worker.
A recent survey has revealed that around 30 million people
work from home at least once per week. Moreover, these
number of telecommuters is only going to increase.

order to filter the remote jobs. The job listings will include

Apart from these sites, you can also browse through any
search engine & find "Telecommuting jobs".

How Much Money Can I Make Telecommuting?
These kinds of jobs usually pay you around $3 to $50 per
hour depending on the type, complexity, and other factors.
74. Send Out Greeting Cards
Many people like to surprise their close friends and
relatives by sending out an unexpected greeting card.
However, since people are more pressed for time than ever
now, the number of physical cards sent has reduced, while
the number of digital cards has increased.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
You can offer to send physical cards for people on their
behalf so that they can still provide the fun gift of giving a
physical, tangible card without having to worry about going
to the store and the post office.
Just ask people for what type of card they would like, and
then the message. You can hand write the message for a
nice homemade feel.
You can buy the cards and mail them out on their behalf,
spreading joy for everyone.
A home based greeting card business will need to be
marketed to generate an income. Your business is going to
be competing with many other businesses that are trying
to do the same thing you are - get their product in front of
as many people as possible.
In order for you to make money with sending out greeting
cards for people, here are some steps you can take:
● Create a website for yourself. Have pictures of all the
different cards you offer as well as Paypal buttons so they
can place an order immediately.
● Videos are becoming the best advertising medium on the
Internet. Everyone loves to watch a video. Create videos
that are unique and draw the attention of your audience.
Keep the video fairly short and provide a link where they
may find more information and order gift cards.
● A referral service is a excellent way to get your
prospective clients to work for you. When a prospective
customer clicks on your website, give them an incentive to
refer others.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Something free is always appreciated especially in today's
economy. A free greeting card for every referral can
provide a great incentive.
● A press release is a powerful way to let the public know
about your home based greeting card business. The
number of online and local publications that search
constantly for content and interesting concepts are huge.
Make sure you send your press release to several
prospective sites so you can spark interest from the largest
audience possible.
● Making money with greeting cards can be as simple as
targeting the people you are in contact with every day.
From your chiropractor to the day care service provider
you use, everyone sends greeting cards. Why shouldn't
they send your greeting cards? Let them know why your
greeting cards are far superior to the others that are
available.
How much money can I make with a greeting card
business?
● To make this worth your while, you really need to get a
lot of customers and do this in bulk.
If you bought a $3 card and a stamp, you'd make $2.xx if
you charged $6 per card. Obviously the more you charge,
the more you make.
When you start getting a lot of customers, this can be
lucrative and fun for you.
75. No-Risk Matched Betting
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Making money from free bets gained from matched betting
has earned it's place as one of the fastest ways to make
money online due to the fact that minimal risks are
involved, not to mention it is legal, tax free and readily
available for anyone to try out.
This method of making money online works by taking
advantage of free bets offered on a regular basis by
different betting sites. Matched betting eliminates the risks
as one is betting both for and against an outcome.
In the end, you are able to squeeze in the free bets and
multiply each bet by the number of betting sites so as to
maximize your income.
In order to make money with matched betting, here are
some steps you can take:
● Matched betting is a way of taking advantage of the free
bets offered by many online bookmarkers. The free betting
offers come when a bet is placed, for example, you could
deposit $20 and get a bonus $20 in free bets. These offers
are common and often promoted during big sporting
events.
To understand how the system works, you will need to
acquaint yourself with a few betting terms such as a "back"
bet and a "lay" bet. A back bet refers to betting for a
particular outcome to come true for example "I bet Brazil
will win" is a backing bet. If it comes true, you win the bet
but if Brazil draws or loses, you lose your stake.
Back bets can be placed at any bookmaker such as William
Hill or Ladbrokes etc. On the other hand, a "lay" bet refers
to betting against a particular outcome to come true for
example "I bet Brazil will not win" is a lay bet and if Brazil
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
loses or draws, you win the bet. Lay bets can be placed at
a betting exchange such as Betfair.
Matched betting works by canceling out the risks involved
on your "back" bet at the online bookies. This is done by
betting against yourself at similar odds at a different
betting exchange. In simple terms, you are merely trying
to match the bets you have already placed so that you win
no matter the outcome.
This leaves you being able to squeeze out the free bets at
both sites, which can be as much as £200! Multiply this by
how many betting sites there are and you can quite easily
come away with a profit of a few hundred dollars.
Here's a walkthrough on how to make your first $20 profit
(using a real life example) in this gem of a guide to
matched betting: http://www.savethestudent.org/makemoney/what-is-matched-betting.html.
How much money can I make from matched betting?
Although it can't be used every day since you only get the
free bonus bets during special promotions. But you can
quickly make $100's of dollars in a couple days with this
method.
76. Flip Domains
Flipping domains is very similar to flipping real estate,
though, in this instance, you will be flipping online
properties.
The concept is very much the same as real estate though,
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
where you buy low and sell high. First, you will purchase a
domain at registration cost of about $9, or more if you buy
at the premium domain sites such as SnapNames. when
you have a good domain, you can quickly flip it on sites
like Flippa or DNForum for a nice profit.
There are many people willing to pay a high price for
brandable or keyword rich domains (for instance,
Business.com was sold for $7.5 million).
While excellent domains are not as easy to find as they
used to be, with a little search you can unearth some real
gems, that you can sell for a good profit. In some
instances, some buyers may not have thought of a domain
name, but when they see one and it's potential, they will
buy it.
In order for you to make money buying and selling
domains, here are some steps you can take:
● Purchase Easy To Remember/Memorable Domains - You
can purchase domains from many sellers. I tend to prefer
Namecheap since their domain transfer process is very
simple. You can also buy from other domain sellers such as
Freshdrop or Snapnames.
While these are high-end dealers with domains costing no
less than $69, their domains are highly brandable and are
more likely to get a good price upon resale, as compared
to ones you may find on Godaddy Auctions.
A good domain name that will be easy to sell for profit will
typically be one that is easy to remember. Such a domain
is easy to promote and easy to market. Keep away from
long and hard to pronounce domain names, as companies
prefer names that people easily remember. Keep your
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
domain names short, and avoid any domains with
numbers, hyphens, or any other hard to remember
characters.
● Buy Keyword Rich Domains - These domains have
keywords that are highly relevant to the actual business.
For instance, a company that is in the mortgage industry
would be very interested in a domain name such as
Mortgageadvisor.com since it contains the word mortgage.
They may also be interested in domains with related terms
such as house financing, refinancing, or house payments.
This makes it easier not only to sell at the marketplaces
but also directly on the web. You can contact potential
clients directly by googling your keywords, and pitching
your domain to businesses that appear on the search
engines.
● Buy Brandable Domains - As said previously, brandable
domains are easier to sell. Unlike keyword rich domains,
you would need some creativity in buying and selling of
brandable domains. A brandable domain is one that is not
necessarily related to what a business does, yet is catchy
and trendy. For instance, Facebook, Brandbucket,
Fundingtide, you get the idea.
These domains are sold for thousands of dollars just
because they are highly brandable. If you visit a site such
as Brandbucket, you can find thousands of brandable
domains for sale – you can use these to find some
inspiration. All you need to do is to get creative in your
promotion of your domains to get the right people to
purchase them for a handsome profit.
● Focus On The .Com Extension - The .COM TLD is the
most preferred extension for most businesses and nearly
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
half of all domains sold in 2015 were .COM. As a beginner,
it is always prudent to go for the .COM extension rather
than the less common ones such as .TV or .CC which may
be hard to sell. Of course, when you get some experience,
you will know what type of domains buyers want, and will
be confident in buying and selling the less common TLD'S.
● Determine The Value Of The Domain - As a domainer,
you have to master the skill of determining the value of the
domain. There are several ways of determining value, and
you have to be knowledgeable in most. Not having these
skills can make you lose money on domains with no value.
The value of the domain will typically depend on the
market you intend to promote it to. If you plan to promote
it to companies, keyword richness and brandability is what
will be imperative. If you intend to market your domains to
internet marketers, factors of SEO such as backlinks,
domain authority, and trust flow will be of importance.
● Sell The Domain - There are several marketplaces where
you can sell your domains for a good price. You can sell it
on Namepros, Godaddy domain auctions, Snapnames, or
Brandbucket among others. One last thing to note is that
selling on the newer marketplaces such as Brandbucket will
potentially make you more money. Since they only sell
high-end domains that are highly brandable, you will have
to be more careful in finding high-quality domains. These
will be sure to sell and make you good profit.
How much money can I make out of domain flipping?
While the earning potential of selling domains is huge –
you can make a few hundred dollars or several thousand if
you do it right. However, you may incur heavy losses if you
have not mastered the skill of selecting the best domains.

Flipping domains has earned some people millions of
dollars, but you have to remember that, it is only possible
to make money by following proven strategies and the
guidelines I have outlined.
77. Fiverr
Fiverr is a global online marketplace offering tasks and
services, beginning at a cost of $5 per job performed, from
which it gets its name. The site is primarily used by
freelancers who use Fiverr to offer services to customers
worldwide.
It would therefore be interesting to find out how this could
help thousands of people to earn some extra money from
their homes using the power and reach of Fiverr.
In order to start making money with Fiverr, here are some
steps you can take:
● There is absolutely no limit or restriction on the products
that can be bought and sold in such gigs. The only
requirement is that the product or service should be legal
and not be banned under the laws of your respective
country.
Hence it could encompass a long list of products and
services. It could be content writing, translating, posting
comments and feedback on various social media networks,
teaching and tutoring of various subjects and languages,
teaching music and even playing pranks with somebody
and making money out of it.
● There are also many people who are on the lookout for
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
short video clips and also voiceovers. There is a big market
available out there and it is about identifying one area and
taking advantage of it.
● While the default price is just $5 (that is why it is
referred to as Fiverr), the rates can go up if one is able to
offer additional services which offer better value for money
to the customer. While $5 might not seem like a lot, once
the volume start picking up it can certainly add up. There
are many people who make a decent living through Fiverr.
The secret lies in developing a system where time spent on
each gig is reduced.
● Using the concept of reselling gigs to others is making
some people decent money also. You could offer logo
design services for $50+ on sites such as Upwork, but pay
someone $5 on Fiverr to actually do the work. There are
many people who spent $5 but end up making $50 over
and over again.
How much money can I make from Fiverr?
You can earn anywhere from $5 to $100's a day. At the end
of the day there is hardly any doubt that those who are
smart on the uptake and those who believe in diversifying
their sources of income would certainly find Fiverr a
wonderful opportunity.
78. Get Paid To Read Emails
Are you looking to make some extra money at the comfort
of your home? All you need to do is read the emails that
you receive in your inbox. Sounds easy, right?
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Will someone actually pay you for reading simple emails?
The emails that you will get paid to open are nothing but
advertisements of different sorts. These emails come from
different companies as they want to showcase their
products and in turn get more leads and customers.
You have to open the emails and click on the links inside to
get paid. The advertisers pay the company who will, in
turn, pay you for opening the emails. When a company
advertises something, they hope that when you open the
link that you might actually buy something from their
website or get details about their product. When you click a
link, you actually share some of your details with the
advertisers.
In order for you to make money by reading emails, here
are some steps you can take:
● Open Google and then search with the keyword "Get paid
to read emails". This will provide you with a list of sites
that currently pay you to read emails.
You will find various websites that offer paid emails. Get
yourself registered with some of these websites by giving
them some basic information about yourself. (Some
examples of these kind of websites include
http://www.donkeymails.com/, http://emailcashpro.com/,
etc.)
● You need to provide some personal details on these
websites like your name, your email address and your
contact details and after you start working they will need
to know where they can pay you as well.
● You will start receiving emails after you have completed
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
registration. All you need to do is open those emails when
you get them. You can open them whenever you want but
there will possibly be a limit to how many emails you will
receive in a day, depending on the company.
● Open the emails and click on the links that are provided
in the email by the advertisers. Opening the links will
actually gain the advertisers some traffic on their server
and that's exactly how digital marketing works.
● You keep doing this for a while with multiple websites
and you will earn some really easy money.
● Refer others to the website and you can earn a
percentage of everything they earn too. This is how the
real money is being earned with these types of sites.
How much money can I make out of reading Emails?
You can expect something around $0.01 - $0.10 per email.
Other than getting paid for reading emails, you can make
money for referring your friends as well.
79. Network Marketing (MLM)
Network marketing, also known as Multi-Level Marketing
(MLM), is a business model that allows you to generate
ongoing income in two ways: by making a commission
selling products and by recruiting other members and
getting a percentage of everything they sell.
The later allows you to make money from the sales made
by those you have recruited. That is, the company provides
an opportunity for the person to create a team, network or
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
downline by sponsoring several individuals who are willing
to start the same process, and this in turn extends for
several levels.
Importantly, this is not a pyramid scheme (they are illegal)
because there is an end goal which involves a customer
buying a product or service with value.
It’s also not a get rich quick scheme. You will have to work
I’m afraid! If you don't sell the product or service you will
not get any commissions and consequently not really make
much money.
However with the growth of social media, network
marketing is becoming easier and lots of people are now
making a decent living from it.
Here are some advantages of MLM:
1. Can generate passive income.
2. Typically requires little investment.
3. Business growth is exponential if handled intelligently.
4. You'll learn teaching skills, effective communication and
time management.
5. You can choose who to work with.
Disadvantages:
1. If you are not working the business at least several
hours daily, you probably won't succeed.
2. If the company goes bankrupt, you will lose all your
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
work.
3. Approximately 90% of people, who enter and have no
commitment and discipline, leave in the first three months.
On the other hand people who are serious about this
business model; they say the biggest advantage is the
feeling of gratification when your team members begin to
succeed with them.
In order to succeed with MLM, here are some
recommendations you can take:
● Find a good MLM company to work with. You'll need to do
some research and read through reviews to make sure you
stay away from any scams.
You can find a list of the best 25 MLM companies here.
● You must have a minimum of 1 hour a day to start and
be willing and able to learn and apply something new.
● Be persistent when faced with obstacles and adversity - it
can take many months to start seeing results with MLM.
● Be willing to grow personally and professionally.
● Start recruiting your family and friends into the company.
For tips on how to recruit more people in your downline,

How much money can I make with MLM?
This is a serious way of making good money on your own
terms and it’s well worth reading up on. Some people have
made $100,000's a month with MLM. I recommend getting

80. Create Mobile Apps
Nowadays, thousands of apps are being produced and
monetized by developers. In fact, a recent story in The
Atlantic suggested how app makers of popular games like
Candy Crush are earning millions in profits every year.
So if you have an idea for an app that can truly
revolutionize the lives of people, here are a couple of
things that you need to do in order to make money from it:
● Figure out the goal of your app - To begin with, you first
have to figure out the goal of your app. Ask yourself what
exactly would be the end game. Are you looking out to
make an app for pulling in new customers, improving the
value of a product or for simply making money from ad
revenue? Usually, you cannot do these three things
simultaneously. So once you figure out what your goal is,
making the app will be simpler and easier.
● Sketch the idea of your app - Once you set the goal, start
sketching the idea of your app and how it will flow. In this
way, you actually are a step ahead of conceptualizing the
basic fundamentals of your application.
● Create a mock prototype of your app - Well, this can be
done by coming up with a wireframe and a proper
storyboard for the app. This wireframe and potential
prototype will now become the foundation structure of your
app. You can come up with data diagrams, APIs and server
sketches as a reference for the final product. Right after
this, you can test the prototype you've come up with.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Design your app’s skin - Well, this skin would be the
individual screens that are required for the app. So right
after creating the wireframe and testing the prototype you
have to test it again on high resolution versions of the
skins.
● Come up with apps that boost marketing - Compared to
getting other digital products to the market, developing an
app can be comparatively less pricey. With the right app
you can easily expand your digital footprint while meeting
the right people for content and also benefiting from great
PR. Your new app might catch the attention of bloggers and
journalists who focus on your market. If you end up getting
a lot of attention, it would simultaneously kick start your
revenue and help you earn more.
● Come up with the app flexibly - While planning your
digital strategy, make sure your app meets a market where
it is most needed and while doing so, also makes most
from the market. Always be flexible.
● For more in-depth tutorials on building your own mobile
apps, refer to the article here.
How much can I make with mobile apps?
Once you create a mind boggling app, register it with the
Android or apple app store. If it manages to make the cut,
you will soon earn a lot of revenues from it.
81. Start An Email Newsletter
If writing is your passion, why not use it as a means of
earning money by writing email newsletters? All you need
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
is an internet connection and your computer, and you can
start using your flair to create compelling and interesting
email newsletters on topics people will want to read!
It is better if you first send email newsletters to your
friends and anyone you know for free. Though this may
seem to be a limited number of readers for your
newsletter, once the newsletter gets more interesting and
informative to the reader, you will find your subscriber base
slowly but surely growing.
This is when you can start charging a fee for your
newsletter.
When you start charging for your newsletter, you need to
change to a "paid" model where your prospective
subscribers sign up to read you newsletter and pay a
monthly fee. Another option is to keep your newsletter free
but promote affiliate products or find advertisers out there
who would like to promote their business in your
newsletter.
In order for you to make money writing email newsletters,
here are some steps you can take:
● Make sure you write on a topic you are well versed
about, which is trending and something you really want to
write about. Only when you are comfortable with a topic
will words keep flowing from your mind while you write.
Writing about unknown topics may lead to writer’s block,
and this will in turn hamper your actual writing style.
● In the beginning you can use free email services such as
Gmail and Hotmail. As your subscriber base grows in the
100's or even 1000's, you might want to consider getting a
professional email broadcast service such as GetResponse
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
and Aweber.
● Participate in forums which discuss the same topic you
write about. Express your views here, and create an
impression of yourself as an expert on the topic. Try to add
some interesting information or examples to support your
posts.
Place a link with your signature at the end of your forum
posts, and make sure the signature links to your newsletter
signup page. This is where interested people can sign up
for your newsletter to receive more interesting information
from you. Alternatively, they can email you with a request
to subscribe.
● It is important that once you build a subscriber base, you
keep on circulating your newsletters at specific times. You
can publish your newsletter based on your convenience like
on a weekly, monthly or a fortnightly basis; anything you
are comfortable with. Just make sure you stick to the
routine, and don’t keep changing it.
● As your subscriber base grows, start contacting
advertisers and let them know how many subscribers you
have on your newsletter. They will thus get an idea of the
number of people they will reach if they decide to pay you
for advertising. Naturally the more subscribers you have,
the bigger their reach will be!
● Alternatively, you can sign up as an affiliate for products
related to the topic you talk about and promote them to
your subscribers. The best way to do this is to actually buy
the product and write up an in-depth review about it.
● For a more in-depth look at building an email list and
using it to make money, take a look at the blog post here.

How much money can I make with an email newsletter?
There is no fixed amount of money you can make by
writing email newsletters. It mainly depends on your niche
and the number of subscribers you have. The more popular
and interesting is your niche topic, the more subscribes
you get which consequently increases your earning
potential. However on an average, it’s okay to ask for $100
or more for an ad if it has the potential to reach 5,000 or
more subscribers.
82. Submit Articles
If you consider yourself a decent writer, why not make
some money with it? There’s loads of websites that offer
revenue sharing for submitting articles.
What Is Ad Revenue Sharing?
One method that a website uses to pay their writers is to
use revenue sharing. The people behind the website pay
you every time someone clicks on your article or if
someone clicks on an advert within that article. This is
great for a second income.
Another way a website pays you is through fixed fees.
Every time you submit an article, you’ll receive a fixed
amount of money. This is more reliable as a primary job
because you’ll make a lot more money than you would
using the first method. Of course with a fixed payout like
this it obviously draws a lot of attention. Meaning it's
harder to find a job like this unless you stand out from the
rest.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
In order to make money submitting articles, here are some
steps you can take:
● Register with as many sites that accept articles and
submit your content to all of them. Here's some of of the
better ones:
- Teckler
Teckler is one of the best revenue sharing websites out
there when it comes to fairness. This website allows you to
get paid 70% of what your content earns through ad
revenue. Obviously the company needs some way to profit
too, but 70% is still a very generous amount.
Additionally, you’re able to share videos, photos and even
audio clips if you wish to.
You’re also more in control of what you earn. The minimum
payout is $0.50, so no need to accumulate a certain
amount before withdrawing money. Adding affiliated links
to your articles can also increase your earnings.
- iWriter
iWriter already has an advantage over some of the other
Fixed-rate websites by not forcing the writers to sign up
before submitting articles. You can just hop onto the
website and start submitting articles immediately. The
standard rate for this website is $1.25 per 150 words
written. Which in my opinion is a very generous rate to
offer. The minimum withdrawal amount is $20, but it won’t
take long before you’ve accumulated this amount.
However, as you would expect, iWriter does not necessarily
have to approve and pay you for your article. If they
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
believe the article is either low quality according to their
guidelines, they will either ask you to rewrite the article or
just reject it completely. On average, 20% of articles are
rejected or asked to be rewritten.
Furthermore, this website offers a progression system. If
you accumulate a four-star rating over 30 articles, you’ll
receive double your pay. If you receive an overall 4.5 rating
across 30 articles, you’ll triple your pay. This gives that
extra bit of motivation for writers to increase quality.
How much money can I make submitting articles?
Usually you start off quite low as and the pay gradually
increases when the employer likes the quality of your work.
Payment varies from $1.5 per 500 to anything above $5. If
you choose the revenue sharing model instead, the more
articles you submit then the more you stand to make.
83. Build Links For Websites
Making money through websites has become a lucrative
investment that will enable you to grow your business and
attract many potential customers and retain current ones.
Link building has gained immense use for these websites
because they direct viable customers to your website. Link
building entails a process where you attract inbound links
from other related websites to your website that will drive
more traffic and is also essential in boosting your Google
rankings.
Backlinks are the links that are on the website of other
people that point to your website. The linking of the
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
websites shows Google and other search engines that your
website deserves the linking hence Google will give your
site a higher placement in it's search engine rankings.
When your website has a higher search engine ranking, it's
traffic increases and that's why people try to get more links
to their websites.
But there are many ethical ways to manipulate other
websites to give you links and when you are well
conversant with them then you can offer link building
services for a fee.
In order for you to become a link builder, here are some
steps you can take:
● Register yourself with freelancing sites such as
Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.
You are then expected to look for link building jobs on
these sites and apply for them so that you can get clients
that need your services. You should consider applying for
as many as possible so that it can increase your chances of
getting a job.
● Adhere to your buyer's instructions - The buyers of your
service will often provide you with the places that they
want you to build links from. You are expected to go the
places they want you to go and follow the instructions they
give you. These instructions may include creating a profile
for their business on certain social media websites such as
Facebook and Google Plus and making blog comments that
will attract potential customers.
● When you are hired you can now start building the links
to your buyer`s website. Quality link building will increase
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
their website`s Google and other search engine rankings
and they will likely want to access your quality services
again in the future. The buyer will also refer other buyers
to your services and you can develop a good and a loyal
customer base.
● After you have gathered a list of places where you can
build links for clients, you can advertise link packages on
sites such as Fiverr and SEO Clerks.
How much money can I make from building links?
The process enables you to offer your services from as low
as $2 to $8 per hour depending on the quality of your
services and your expertise.
Link packages can sell from between $10 and $100.
84. Expired Domains
I know you are curious to know why people prefer making
money from expired domains rather than new ones.
When buying a domain name, an individual registers it for
a specified period. In most cases, the domain name is
registered for a period of 1 to 5 years. After this, you need
to renew your domain name again. If you don't, the
domain is deemed to have expired and can be bought by
another buyer.
Usually, most domains expire with some traffic. In this
case, the buyer of these domains will get instant access to
the traffic that can generate revenue. Also, Google gives
more attention to older domains, so you can build a site on
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
it that will have a head start in the search engine rankings.
In order for you to make money with expired domains,
here are some steps you can take:
● Find an expired domain database - Usually, recently
expired domain names are listed in a database showing
their status whether they are still active or expired. You
can find reliable websites which have tools which you can
check the due date for the expiry of thousands of domains.
For instance, http://www.deletedlive.com/ is a great site to
check for recently expired domains..
● Buying domains - Once the domain name expires, it will
not become readily available for re-registration instantly.
Most domain registrars will provide a grace period for the
registrants to renew their expired domains one last time.
After the grace period has expired, there is a redemption
period where a registrant can still reclaim the domain, but
at a fee.
If the registrant fails to renew the domain name after the
redemption period, it will be available to buy or depending
on the registrar, made available for auction. At this point,
you can participate in the auction by placing a bid on your
desired domain name.
● Decide whether to build or flip your domain name - Once
you have purchased a domain name, you can opt to use it
for your business or sell it to make a profit. If you opt to
use your domain in your business, you will need to
customize it to suit your website. As the domain name may
already have traffic, you could reap instant profits for your
business.
On the other hand, you can flip your domain for money.
Flipping is simply buying your domain name at a lower
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
price and selling it a higher price on sites like Flippa.com to
make profits.
How much can I make from expired domains?
The amount of money you can make would be different in
each case. You could have a total loss (total cost: $8.81 if
you buy a domain via Namecheap with a coupon code), or
you could potentially make thousands of dollars.
85. Transcribing
Transcribing is a fantastic way to make some extra money.
There are all kinds of businesses that require someone to
do transcription work for them. Some businesses may
require a video or webinar transcribed. Transcribers will
often be required to type out what has been said in a
meeting.
In order for you to become a transcriptionist, here are
some steps you can take:
● Sign Up With Freelancing Websites. These days, there
are many freelancing websites that you can sign up for.
These include: Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com,
etc. Through these websites you can find transcribing jobs.
● Once you have created an account with them, you can
create a profile. Your profile should be thought of like a
resume which can include all of your skills and experiences
that you have had in the past. Make sure it has been
written well, is professional, and contains no errors.
Most freelancing websites will allow you to choose what
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
payment method suits you. These methods might include
PayPal, Direct Debit, Wire Transfer and more.
● Sign up with sites such as The Way With Words.
Way With Words is considered one of the best online
transcription sites and is trusted by thousands of people.
This website provides transcribers a range of transcription
work. This can be sorted by video, budget, audio or custom
transcription.
● Apply For Transcribing Positions. Search Google for
"transcription jobs" for various transcribing positions and
apply for them. These days, most transcribing jobs are
often done online which means you do not have to leave
your home to do them. You never know, you might find
yourself working for a great company in another country.
● If you have done all of the above and have been hired,
then all you need to do is simply type up the transcription
you have been sent and return it to the company who hired
you. Before you return the transcription, be sure to proof
read it. This will help you to make sure there are no errors
in your transcription.
How much money can I make from transcription jobs?
Every transcription job will be different. Transcribers can
earn anywhere from $3 through to the $100's for a single
project. It all depends on the experience you have with this
kind of work. It also depends on how fast you can work
and your expertise within this field.
Those who do this work at a quicker rate, will often be able
to charge employers with a premium rate.

86. Sell Handmade Items and Crafts
Are you a talented artist or craftsman? Is your work an
expression of your creativity that you do just for fun? Or
are you interested in selling your handmade arts and crafts
as a source of income?
If you are interested in turning your passion into a
business or even if you want to make some money to help
pay for your supplies, here are some steps you can take:
● The first step you need to take is to evaluate your craft To sell your crafts online, you must have something that is
different from all the other arts and crafts that are being
offered online.
● Include lots of pictures - Consumers rarely buy items
without first seeing pictures. Increase your chances of
making a sale by taking a few pictures of the item you are
selling from different angles. Don't use stock photographs,
but a picture of the actual item. Accompany that picture
with a detailed description.
● Fair selling price - It is tricky to sell arts and crafts. Your
goal is to make money, but a low selling price virtually
guarantees a sale. Unfortunately, you aren't a mass
production line, meaning your supplies and time cost more.
That is why a fair selling price is important. It ensures you
make money, but is low enough to generate consumer
interest. When setting your price, consider the cost of
supplies and the time spend to make each item. Go from
there.
● Customization - Since you make your arts and craft
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
projects by hand, you have a unique opportunity to offer
an additional service to your buyers. That is customization.
Whether an interested buyer would like a different colored
wind chime or their name painted on it, you can do it. In
fact, state in your listing description that customization and
personalization are available for either no extra charge or a
small fee.
● Research what you are going to sell - Hand embroidered
dish towels are not going to sell as well to men as they will
to women, but intricately tooled leather sheaths for
hunting knives would be more likely to sell to men.
Identifying your potential customers will help you decide
on a venue to utilize for selling your handmade crafts.
● Add up all of the costs involved in making your
handmade craft. In addition to supplies, include a
reasonable estimate of the time you will spend on it. Stop
at that point and ask yourself if people will be likely to pay
at least that much for your handmade craft. If not,
consider a different item. Otherwise, add in profit for
yourself and ask yourself the question again. If you still
feel that many customers would find the item an attractive
purchase, repeat the process with your next item.
● Estimate how long it will take you to make each item.
This will give you an idea of how many items you will be
able to produce in a week's time. Assuming you can sell
everything you produce this tells you the maximum you
could earn.
● Decide whether you are going to offer personalized
items. Requests for specific colors or the addition of names
or sentiments can require more production time. On the
other hand, it may be exactly what you need to set you
apart from other crafters that are selling similar items. You
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
might include the personalization in the cost of the item if
all the elements will be personalized. If it is to be an option
that is seldom exercised, you might want just to make it a
surcharge.
● Sell your items on sites such as eBay, Etsy and Craigslist.
How much can I make from selling homemade items and
crafts online?
It really depends on what you are creating and how much
time it takes to create as well as the quality.
Smaller items, like bracelets, charms etc. can sell for
anything from $5 upwards, while paintings, carvings and
objects that take many time to create can sell for $100's or
more.
87. Provide Online Homework Help
If you are an expert on any subject, then stop sleeping on
it. You can make money online using that knowledge, by
providing online homework help during your spare time.
If you did not know, there is a huge demand for online
tutors who can help students with their homework,
assignments etc.
The reason for the high demands for online tutors is
because students are required to submit their assignments
on time and sometimes they can fall behind and need help.
You will therefore find that it is challenging for many of
them to meet the deadlines of their assignments especially
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
if they have to prepare for their examinations at the same
time.
In order for you to make money with online homework
help, here are some steps you can take:
● Apply for Online Homework Help Jobs - Register with
freelancing sites such as Freelancer.com, Guru.com,
Upwork.com, etc. and apply for the numerous jobs that are
available on these sites.
● There are also several companies online that you can
select from and apply for jobs with.
Among the numerous companies, you can try applying with
Tutor.com, OwlOnlineTutoring.com and many others. As
you apply for the jobs, you need to confirm and make sure
that the company you want to work with is credible and
trustworthy. However, you can start with these two
examples since they have a proven track record.
● Create a Website - Start your own website and list all the
subjects you can provide homework help with, along with
pricing and a way to schedule appointments. Starting your
own website can make you more money than working for
someone else but it might take time to become
established. You can decide to employ other people who
are experts like you once you realize that you are getting
too many clients.
If you realize that there is someone who is interested in
working with you and is experienced in other subjects, do
not hesitate to include that person on your website. All you
have to do is to update you website and include the
additional subject or subjects to your previous list.

● Use a Bulletin Board - You can consider putting your offer
on a bulletin board at a nearby school. This is just another
way of attracting clients. In this case, you will have to post
regularly so that you can get traffic to your website. Again,
you need to have superior knowledge of the subject you
want to offer the homework help for.
● Provide Excellent Services - After getting clients, you now
need to provide excellent service no matter which of the
above steps you have taken. This will make you get even
more clients since the ones you have served will refer
others to you.
How much money can I make from providing homework
help?
Depending on your experience and expertise on the subject
you choose to offer, you can charge from as little as $3 to
$50 per hour. Most people who do such jobs charge
between $10 and $20, but that depends on your influence
and the quality of work you do.
88. Play Online Games
The Internet has provided us plenty of fun ways to make
money online, but perhaps the best of them is the
opportunity to earn a decent sum by playing online games.
Casual gamers can eke out extra pocket change while more
serious gamers can create a full-time income by
participating in tournaments.
In order for you to make money with online games, here
are some steps you can take:
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● First, you need a decent computer if you plan on playing
tournaments or high-end games, preferably a gaming PC.
Serious gaming requires a GPU with a good amount of
onboard memory, a 3D sound card and a sophisticated
speaker system (including a subwoofer). If you wish to
play 3D games, an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, 16 GB of
RAM and a minimum of 2GB DDR5 graphics card are highly
recommended. The faster your computer is, the better the
game will operate.
● Then, get the software of a game that is inexpensive or
freely available. Most online games require you to register
on their website to start playing, so create an account with
them. Play the game regularly to hone your skill set within
the game. After some practice, your gaming skills will be
good enough to compete with others in tournaments.
● Once you select a game, play it regularly for several
hours day. In less than a month, you will master it.
● Once you master the high-action games such as Gears of
War, Quake, Unreal Tournament, and Mortal Combat, you
become a professional gamer. Keep visiting the game
manufacturer's site for details about the upcoming
tournaments where you can compete with other gamers
like yourself.
At first, prefer smaller tournaments, and once you get
enough mastery, favor the competitions that offer cash
prizes of at least $1,000.
● If you would rather just get paid for playing simple
games, then Google can help you find the top sites. Some
of the popular sites include Gamesville and Paid Game
Player.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Once you become proficient in playing a few games,
write reviews and tutorials on how to play them. Write a
significant number of articles providing helpful tips to
readers. You may post these articles on your blog or
website and monetize it through advertising such as
Google Adsense. Also, interact with experienced gamers in
forums to find out how you can improve your skills.
● Gamers who sit for many hours in front of their PC's are
prone to stress, muscular atrophy, and weight gain. To
avoid these problems, exercise daily for at least one hour.
This also keeps your reflexes sharp and gives you an edge
over your opponents.
● To know more about playing games for making money,
please refer here.
How much money can I make out of playing games?
At first, you will only be able to make petty amounts, but
with a steady practice, your monthly earnings can be high
enough to pursue online gaming full-time. On top of that,
everyone loves to make some extra money by doing
something that they enjoy.
89. Review Songs
Slice the Pie is a music review site that was set up in 2007
to enable aspiring musicians and bands to get real reviews
from real people about their music whereas before they
could only submit them to radio stations or record labels.
As a reviewer, you are paid for the number and depth of
reviews that you write for each song. You actually get paid
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
for your music snobbery. With $2 million paid out to
reviewers so far, I would say, it is a good way of making
money online.
In order to make money as a song reviewer, here are some
steps you can take:
● Join Slice the Pie. As a rater, you will get a random
selection of songs by unknown musicians to listen to and
rate. You will typically have to listen to a song for about 90
seconds before you can proceed to write a review. After
listening to the song, you will provide a written review of
the song including aspects such as melody, lyrics,
arrangement, instruments, and vocals.
● An important thing to note is that the more detailed your
review is, the higher your rater rankings, and the higher
your potential income. Beginners will typically start with a
base salary of $.02 per review, which will go up to a
maximum of $.30 once you start submitting high quality
and insightful reviews.
After writing your review, you will also have to rate the
song on a scale of 1-10 on a slider. Once you have
completed these two tasks, hit the submit button, and the
money is immediately deposited in your Slice The Pie
account.
● How to increase your earnings - As previously
mentioned, the more insightful and detailed your review is,
the higher your earning potential. It is therefore important
to know a good review from a bad review, to maximize
your earnings. Since there are far too many reviews
coming in, it is impossible to review them manually –
hence the Slice The Pie algorithm.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
To get a better score, a few things you have to include in
your review, such as musical effects, descriptive phrases,
beat, bass, lyrics and vocals, that tell the algorithm your
review is informative. Break down and describe every
comment you can think of, and include it in the review. For
instance, you can say "the song has a light, playful beat
that makes me happy listening to it. The artist also has a
commercial voice that could be enhanced by adding more
bass to the instrumentals."
● I don’t know anything about music - Can Slice The Pie
work if you do not know anything about music? I believe it
can – one of the most beautiful things about music is that
you do not have to know anything about putting music
together to know good music from bad. A lot of music is
about feeling, and people will purchase music not because
of it's impressive arrangement, but because of its
emotional appeal.
● How to make even more money:
1. Write as many quality reviews as possible to get a
higher ranking that pays better.
2. Refer other people to join Slice The Pie – this may be
more lucrative than writing reviews since you will get a
slice of the earnings of anyone you invite to the website
without doing the actual work.
How much can I make reviewing songs?
As mentioned above, beginners will typically start with a
base salary of $.02 per review, which will go up to a
maximum of $.30 once you start submitting high quality
and insightful reviews.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
The website will deposit your pay into your slice the pie
account after each review. However, your payments will
accumulate until you reach the minimum payout threshold
of $10. When you reach the minimum payment threshold,
log into your account, and withdraw the money into your
PayPal account.
90. Pay Per click Arbitrage
Pay Per Click arbitrage is an online marketing strategy that
involves leveraging Google Adwords or Facebook Ads to
drive traffic to your money-making site. Your money
making site will include ads that point to other sites. If
visitors coming to your site click on those ads, you earn
money.
Your goal when using PPC arbitrage is to make more
money than you spend. The money you make is the
difference between how much you pay for your Adwords
ads and, how much an advertiser pays you for every click
made on ads placed on your website. It's therefore
important that you pay a low amount for an Adwords ad
than what you receive for every click made on ads on your
site.
A great resource to learn more about PPC arbitrage can be
found at http://monetizepros.com/display-advertising/cpcarbitrage-what-it-is-and-how-to-pull-it-off/
In order for you to make money with PPC arbitrage, here
are some steps you can take:
● Set up a website - You'll need to set up a website which
will host the ads. To do this, find a good domain name
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
which is focused on what your target traffic is interested in.
For example, if you intend to target people interested in
making money online, your domain name should reflect on
this. Besides the domain name, you'll also need to get
hosting for the site.
Getting cheap hosting is important if you want to keep
expenses low and maximize on income. Finally, create your
website. You can use one of the available free site builders
or a content management systems such as WordPress.
● Purchase PPC ads on Google, Bing or Facebook.
Once you've got your account, you'll need to purchase PPC
ads. Based on your target audience, your ads should have
the following features:
- Target a specific keywords that your target audience uses
to find sites within your niche.
You'll need a keyword research tool such as Google
Keyword Planner to find these.
- An eye catching headline.
- A short description that prompts target visitors to click on
the ad.
Purchasing PPC ads involves bidding. That is, you'll need to
set a maximum amount that you're willing to pay for every
click made. You'll want to keep the bid amount low.
However, you shouldn't set it too low such that it
negatively affects where your ads are placed on the
sponsored listings in search results.
● Set up Google Adsense or other ads on your site - Once
target visitors get to your site, you'll want them to click on
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
ads placed on it's pages.
Setting up Google Adsense on your site allows Google to
place relevant ads on your site. Here are some tips to help
you out:
- Place the ads on strategic locations on every page. For
example, on the header and within page content. However,
you should test to see which page locations attract the
most clicks.
- Include quality content on your site. This helps Google
place relevant ads on your website.
● Get paid for every click made on the ads - Every click
made on the ads placed on your site will attract PPC
revenue. Your goal should be to maximize on the number
of clicks made.
● Make a profit - Your profit is the difference between the
PPC revenue you make from clicks made within your site
and the amount you pay for every click on your Adwords
ads.
How much can you make from PPC Arbitrage?
How much you make depends on several factors including
your target niche, the number of ads you place on your
site, how much you're paid per click and your bid amount.
In general, you can make something between $0.1 and $1
per click.
The key with this is to scale to a large degree.

91. Currency Trading
Before the internet got sophisticated enough to host
various types of commercial enterprises barely two
decades ago, it was difficult to imagine how it's
monetization aspects would work.
It today stands as one of the most powerful global trade
platform where anyone from any part of the world can take
part in any business, e-currency trading included.
E-currency is however comparable to stock trading in
terms of the risks involved. It's fundamental facet hinges
on your ability to speculate the rise and fall of some the
most traded currencies in the global money market.
In-depth knowledge of how to go about the online money
trade is therefore important if you wish to avoid the pitfalls and embrace success.
In order for you to make money with currency trading,
here are some steps you can take:
● Conduct Sufficient Currency Research and Analysis Currencies are always traded in pairs. If you’re interested
in trading the Euros against the US dollar, for example, go
for the pair quoted as EUR/USD. In this case, EUR is the
base currency while the USD is the quote currency. You will
therefore make money if you can rightly predict an
increase in the value of the quoted currency or a decrease
in the value of the base currency.
This means analyzing significant socio-economic and
political factors which may lead to the quoted currency’s
appreciation or the base currency’s depreciation before you

buy or sell any currency.
● Keep a Keen Eye on the Global Money Market - The
global money market is among the most volatile and
dynamic investment moves that one can get involved in.
This is because issues to do with shifts in oil prices,
political policies, inflation rates and currency devaluation
affects it's second-by-second outlook.
It’s important to pay attention to details by keeping a keen
eye on the currency prices to make it possible for you to
purchase the right pair at the right time. Paying attention
to details enables you to decide whether to take your ecurrency investment move on a short or a on a long stand.
You can for instance decide to buy the EUR, using USD at a
loss, knowing that the EUR value might rise significantly
above that of the USD to cover for your loses, granting you
the hefty profits that you took the long stand investment
move to attain.
● Value Expert Opinion - E-currency trading is affected by a
number of factors, all of which no average person can
internalize, analyze and then put into practice in the push
for success.
Luckily, there are many experts who can help you make
the right decisions by giving you empirical advice on how
to turn loses into gains or how to avoid ultimate mistakes
such as the rush to cash out whenever things may not be
going well.
Therefore, other than conducting your own research and
analysis, it’s as well significant to take note the experts’
feel on e-money markets' pulse rate.

basics, refer to the the website here.
How much money can I make out of trading currencies?
The amount of money that you can make as an e-currency
trader depends on your level of patience, research and
analytical abilities. It also pegs on the amount of money
that you are willing to risk and how well you listen to the
experts’ advice.
92. Earn Bitcoins
When I say earning Bitcoins, you should not only think of
just mining them but consider many of the other ways of
generating cash using Bitcoin.
Some of the most common and dependable ways of
making money using Bitcoin include:
● Using Bitcoin faucets - this basically entails creating and
running your very own faucet. This method is often
overlooked but it could earn you a cool $50-$800 a month.
The process of managing your own faucet is fairly simple
as it only requires you to fill out a captcha and then start
earning.
This process is further explained here:
https://99bitcoins.com/complete-beginners-guide-makemoney-bitcoin-faucet/
Here are some of the most popular Bitcoin Faucets:
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Quick Faucet - this faucet functions more or less like a
normal faucet but is a bit more complex. Join their site
then start earning satoshi that will at some point translate
to real hard cash.
● Bitcoin Aliens - this game mainly works by you killing
bitcoin aliens every ten minutes which earns you satoshis
that mostly range from 100-10,000. This is a short process
but perhaps the most fun of all.
● Sign up with Coinbase and use it to buy a few bitcoins:
this process is often easy but tends to produce plenty of
fruits. To start, create an account with Coinbase; make
sure to provide your bank account data and then purchase
the bitcoins. Once you buy these bitcoins, you can, in turn,
sell to the next buyer and make a small profit. This means
that for every ten bitcoins you buy, you sell them at a five
percent profit.
After Coinbase is done verifying you, it is easier to
maneuver your way around hence making it easier for you
to build a bitcoin trade advertisement. You do this by going
to the LocalBitcoins menu, then clicking on the “post a
trade” slot then wait for a response. The main way by
which this earns you money is if, for instance, you put up a
five percent increase in price of your coins, the price
presented to a buyer automatically gets raised by five
percent.
● Another way of earning Bitcoins is through the PinkTussy.
This mainly works by one earning free coins which
translate to 150-2500 satoshi every twenty minutes. This
is not that many but if its periodical, you could earn
yourself a stunning jackpot.
● Other faucets that are likely to earn you money is the
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
BitcoStars and the BitcoinZebra - These two faucets almost
work in the same way but differ to some extent. With
BitcoStars, you earn free online money by filling out
captchas hourly. This means that you earn almost six
hundred satoshis every hour.
How much money can I make with Bitcoins?
The best thing about Bitcoin is that once you hit the first
bitcoin you do not have to wait for a long time to be able to
hit the next one. You are therefore assured of consistency
in earning money. The steps outlined are easy and quite
rewarding.
93. Start A Membership Site
When most people consider starting an online membership
site, the first thing they think of is a paid site. They forget
about or don't realize that they can make great money
with a free membership site.
In this article, we're going to cover three great ways to
make money from a free membership site. But first, how
can you develop a membership site and invest all that time
when it doesn't bring in immediate income?
You can create what's called an "Automatic Content" site
that provides weekly lessons to members via
autoresponder. These membership sites are very easy to
build and once they're completed it runs on autopilot. All
you have to do is promote it.
For example, you can create a 4, 8 or 12-week training
course solving a key problem of your target market. Once
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
a week your autoresponder will send out the lesson
automatically. There is a great value to the member
because they know what to expect. And you don't have to
worry about creating additional content on the backend.
In order for you to make money with a membership
websites, here are some steps you can take:
● Instead of marketing your content as a course or
something of minimal value, promote it as a unique, highly
valued membership site. Something that a person
interested would expect to pay a nice monthly fee for. But
since it's free and presented as a membership site your
conversions will go through the roof.
Then you'll be able to profit from your free membership
site several different ways. But these three are the best:
1. Build Your List - You've heard it so often it probably
makes you sick, "The money is in the list." The reason you
hear it so often is because it's true! Statistics prove that for
every person on your email list you can expect $.50 $1.00 in revenue per month. Granted there are several
factors that play into this, but if you send consistent
messages with valuable content, you can expect that
number to be closer to the $1.00 range.
2. Affiliate Marketing - While you're already building your
list, you can now market quality affiliate products and
programs to your list. Once you've built value, this is taken
care of by your free membership site; your list will trust
you when you recommend affiliate products.
3. Sell Your Own Products - Finally, you can, of course, sell
your list your products. Why is this last on the list? My
experience shows that most people don't want to start out
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
creating products. It takes too long, and some people
perceive that it's difficult to do. So the easiest and fastest
way to make money online is by promoting other's people's
products. However, at some point, you'll want to create
your own products because your profit margins will be so
much higher!
● Keep posting contents on a regular basis as long as
possible.
As you can see starting your free membership site can be
very lucrative and beneficial.
How much money can I make from a membership site?
It really depends on how many subscribers you have and
how you monetize them. With a loyal following of several
hundred members, you can quite easily achieve an income
of $100 a day or more.
94. Review Websites
Among the many ways that you can make money online is
by reviewing websites.
If your website or blog is popular and has lots of traffic,
you can easily earn money by reviewing other websites for
a fee. A lot of people will be willing to pay for the exposure
they will get by being reviewed on your site. But to achieve
the best out of this business, you must satisfy your clients
by providing an in-depth and honest review about the site
- both good and bad.
In order for you to make money by reviewing websites,
here are some steps you can take:
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
● Post an ad on your website advertising the service - First,
you need to let potential clients know about your services.
You can do this by posting an ad on your site saying that
you are offering reviews for products, blogs, etc. The ad
will help you to get the attention from websites and
product owners looking for exposure.
● Do research on search engines - You have to make an
extra move to get potential clients. Look for clients instead
of having them look for you. All websites are readily
accessible on search engines such as Google. Do an
extensive search to identify the websites that are not
performing well in the search engines and those that might
need more traffic.
Both websites will be in need of reviews for different
reasons. Websites that are not performing well in the
search engines will be willing to pay so as to get a quality
backlink. Similarly, sites that are already doing well will
need your services to maintain their traffic. Send them
email/offers and make sure that you have mentioned traffic
numbers since that information will be crucial for the
clients.
How much can I make out of reviewing websites?
This will depend on how much traffic you get, the authority
of your website and what your niche is. You can charge
anywhere from $50 to $500 for each review you do.
The amount of traffic, popularity, quality and reputation of
your website is paramount to how much you can make.
Work on these three factors, and you will make more out of
this method.

95. Website Consultant
Experience with websites can earn you a lot of money if
you are creative enough. If you are running a website
review service you can upgrade your services to also offer
professional reports to websites.
It is very important that you be experienced in all the SEO
tools since a consultant is only as good as the knowledge
he or she possesses. This expertise and experience can be
gained from reviewing multiple websites and blogs. A
consultant is able to review the sites of clients and inform
them on the best strategy to improve or fix the site to get
more traffic, sales, etc.
In order for you to make money with consultant services,
here are some steps you can take:
● Post an advertisement on your website - Post on your
website that you are taking new clients for private reviews.
Ensure that you clarify that the review serves the purpose
of improving their site and increasing traffic.
Remember to state it is a consultancy service and the
review is for the client’s eyes only. If your website is
popular, posting an advertisement could be enough to get
people interested. You can also go an extra mile of
advertising on other websites. This will cost you but the
rewards could definitely worth it.
● Contact your former clients - Contacting your former
clients is very easy especially if you had done for them a
satisfactory public review.
Inform them of the immense experience you have acquired
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
and that you can be of great help to their sites. Be
professional and sell your skills in the best way possible.
You can offer a discount to the former clients and inform
them that the discount is for the previous work you did for
them. If you are confident about your skills, you can offer a
money back guarantee if the advice that you give does not
work out.
● Search in Google - The best thing about a consultancy
service is that the potential clients are numerous. All you
need to do is do a Google search of websites in your niche.
There are many websites out there wanting to get
increased traffic, more sales etc. Even if a website has high
traffic, it may still want to get more or it might want to
increase sales conversions.
You need to approach as many websites as you can to
increase your chances of getting hired. When sending
emails, ensure that the emails are professional and are
well detailed. Indicate your achievements that can help
their site and be sure to state your website traffic
numbers. A client with a website that has low traffic should
contact you. Ensure that you overdo it in all your
consultancies so as to get recommendations.
How much money can I make as a website consultant?
Do not state the amount you want to charge when sending
your applications. Use discriminatory pricing if you want to
get the most from your services. You can set the minimum
amount of money to charge per client at $100+ per review.
If a high profile company decides to employ you, you can
charge a substantial fee especially when the site starts
getting positive results. You can also price your consulting
service depending on how much you can improve a certain
site.

97. Medical Research Volunteer
Volunteering to participate in a paid medical research study
is not the right choice for every individual. However it could
prove to be a perfect fit for you!
Although most medical studies are performed in special
facilities, there are some that allow you to stay at home
and that's why we've included it here.
In order to make money as a medical volunteer, here are
some steps you can take:
● Search Google for "Location Medical Volunteer". Replace location
with your own city.
There are ongoing studies that are being conducted in
many different cities and these programs are available
throughout the year. The paid medical study that you
participate in could involve a few hours of your time or it
could involve a weekend commitment. There are additional
studies being done that can be completed in 1-2 weeks
while others can last for 4 weeks, or even longer.
You can browse through the online listings and discover
which testing facilities are located closest to your home or
be adventurous and search for a facility that is in another
city or state. As long as you can make your own travel
plans and handle the transportation issues there are few
obstacles to prevent you from applying for the study that
you most want to join.
● Individuals who are between 18-85 are being recruited
for a variety of research opportunities. As a volunteer you
will be providing a valuable service and you will be
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
handsomely paid for your time and participation. Each of
the various studies will outline how much time is involved
and the amount of money that you will receive at the
conclusion of the test. The pay could be as little as $25 or
you could rake in several thousand dollars.
● Although an outpatient must arrange their own
transportation back and forth for each visit those who are
accepted for residential studies will receive free room and
board for the duration of the testing procedures. The
setting is arranged so that it is much like a college dorm
with private sleeping quarters, free entertainment and
interaction with those individuals who are also participating
in the same research group.
You will not be bored because these facilities furnish
televisions, video movies, games, sports activities, books
and even internet access to their volunteers. With 3 meals
a day, snacks and an abundance of free time you will
almost feel as though you have landed a vacation instead
of a research assignment.
● Medical care and supervision are also part of the free
benefits that all volunteers will receive. As part of a paid
medical research project your health and welfare are both
going to be monitored very closely. Although the
medications that you may be testing have already been
judged to be very safe there may be some minor side
effects such as changes in blood pressure, a skin reaction
or minor GI upsets. The health care team will be constantly
watching for any problems and this is why some of the
tests are conducted 'on premises.'
● Volunteers will be asked questions; lab work will be
done; physical exams must be performed and your intake
and output is going to be monitored. As soon as all of the
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
necessary data has been collected you will be ready to
return home with extra money in your pocket.
How much money can I make from being a medical
research volunteer?
There are even some individuals who have now made this
type of work their full time career, but for most people this
is just a part-time gig that can provide them with some
extra dollars.
98. Paid Mobile Apps
Just like paid surveys, you can use smartphone apps that
will pay you for small tasks as well. Although they pay less
than surveys, this is one of the best ways you can use your
spare time constructively when traveling on a train, waiting
in a queue, etc.
In order to make money with apps on your phone, here are
some sites you can start with:
● Google Opinion Rewards - Google Opinion Rewards is an app
where you can receive cash rewards through your Google
account. Rewards are made after answering questions and
surveys.
To begin, you have to install the app from the Google Play
store and launch it. Signing in to your Google account is
required after which you will receive a test survey. The test
survey acts as a way to help you understand how the
program works. This is also where your demographic and
other information is established.
Surveys are rewarded by this app based on all the

shopping experiences that you have had recently. This
shows that you can be in a position to provide quality
answers to their surveys. Completion of a single survey
takes on average a couple minutes after which you receive
payment to your Google account. After working for several
days or weeks, the balance on your Google account can be
enough to buy Google Play store services.
To be in a better position to participate in different surveys,
it is important to make trips to different locations when
location services of the app on your Android device are
enabled. Different trips can come with new shopping
experiences and allow you to do new surveys.
Keep the app updated and set up new locations when on a
journey through the app settings. The location is
established through mobile networks, Wi-Fi, and GPS. Keep
the app open daily to show your interest.
●
Swagbucks
Swagbucks members are rewarded with cash or free gift
cards for completing easy online tasks. To earn points, you
have to do online shopping, answer surveys, watch videos
and search the web. All the points you earn can be
redeemed for gift cards at different online retailers such as
Walmart and Amazon. You can also redeem the points to
cash through PayPal.
Every dollar you spend when shopping with online retailers
earns you several SB points. You can also earn SB points
through surveys where all you have to do is give your
opinions about a certain topic. Swagbucks has a collection
of video playlists. You always receive free gift cards after
watching them. Using their special search engine earns you
several SB points.

After playing games or purchasing games through GSN,
which is a partner of Swagbucks, you can always receive
free stuff. The app can be easily installed from the Google
Play Store.
How much money can I make with paid apps?
Although they won't make you rich, with these apps, you
get to make some extra cash during your free time, when
traveling, and when waiting in queues.
99. Make And Sell CD Mixes Online
Interestingly, there are many websites that allow the
download of audio and video music at no cost. Such sites
allow people to legally download and use the music without
paying a royalty fee for it. Through such sites, you can
download good music, create music mixes and sell them
via sites such as eBay.
People can buy the music mixes for either personal use or
as gifts for loved ones. This way, you can also support the
independent and upcoming musicians by making their
music known. Alternatively, you can start a website that
creates custom mixes for users. Through such a website,
users can select the music that they want to be included in
their custom CD mixes.
In order for you to make money with selling CD mixes,
here are some steps you can take:
● Search the web for open source music. You can also visit
this blog post and check out a list of 14 best sources that offer
open source music.
© Copyright 2017 – All Rights Reserved.
Open source music is music that is freely available on the
internet to use legally. For such music, one is not legally
bound to purchase a license in order to download and use.
There are some websites that purely stock open source
music and you don't have to pay for the music that you will
use to create your CD mixes.
● Play around with the music and create great mixes Creating a good mix is all about playing around and finding
the most suitable and appealing combinations. Unless you
experiment, you will not be able to establish how best
different songs mix together. More often than not, if you
find a certain mix to be appealing, there is a high likelihood
that other people will find it appealing as well. As a result,
by playing around with the music, you are able to find
better mixes and in the process increase the range of
products available for sale.
● Inform your friends, family, and other prospective buyers
- Anybody that loves music is a prospective client. All you
need to do is let them know that you are selling music
mixes and you are good to go. Your first client may just be
around the corner. If possible, hand out samples that may
attract more clients. After all, the more clients you have,
the more money you are likely to make.
● Put your CD mixes up for sales on sites like
eBay.
How much money can I make selling CD mixes?
Well, it all depends on the volume of customers you get
and amount you make per copy.
Charging between $10 and $15 for a normal CD and $30
for custom made CD is not a bad idea. The only cost you
will be incurring is the cost of buying the CD, shipping cost

and a few extra costs for preparing the CD. The rest is all
profit.
100. SEO Consultant
One of the most lucrative online money making methods is
through becoming an SEO consultant. In this career, you
will be helping websites rank higher in the Google search
engine results when targeted keywords are searched for.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is not an easy task but
with a little effort it can be learned.
Your task as an SEO consultant will entail looking at what
the clients have on their website and request the necessary
changes to make it more SEO friendly.
You can find more details about SEO here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization.
In order for you to become an SEO consultant, here are
some steps you can take:
● Create your website - You need to be able to
communicate with your clients and a website is a good
place to do so. Creating a website is not easy; you may
require the help of web designers. You also need to make
use of the services of a reliable web host.
Once you have created your website, the next thing is to
fill it with relevant content and optimize it. Well, you will be
promising others top ranking on Google and other search
engine results and your website must lead by example.

Many companies believe that if an SEO consultants website
does not rank highly then they cannot deliver what they
promise. This is not far from the truth. Your website
therefore is your chance to prove that what you offer
actually works.
● Show samples of previous work - Clients are more likely
to trust you if you have helped others previously and
obtained positive results. Outline these results on your
website and whenever possible accompany them with a
review from the satisfied client. This way, your target
clients will know that you are not just talk but act and
deliver on what you promise. Encourage satisfied clients to
always leave a review.
● Find the right clients - When marketing your business, do
not do this blindly. Instead, use a targeted approach
aiming at clients who are not doing so well in terms of their
SEO strategies. Approach them and help drive organic
traffic to their websites. Let them know that by raising
their ranking in search results they will be able to reach
more clients and subsequently increase their sales.
● Alternative ways to get clients - Other than marketing
your business, you could try looking for and applying for
SEO consultant positions on freelancing sites such as
Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.
How much can you make as an SEO consultant?
There really is no limit to how much you can make. You
could set your prices at an hourly rate (the minimum would
be $10/hour) or set a one-off price for when the client
website ranks on the first page of Google. The latter could
be $500 or more. The much you charge however depends
on your level of experience. To attract clients, beginner

SEO consultants should charge less. Once you have build a
track record for yourself you can charge higher and you will
still get clients. Just start low and watch your business
grow.
