More Online Money Making Methods Part 2

The aforementioned are not all of the different ways one can make money online. In fact, there are tons of them: some good, some not so good. I will discuss in this section some other nice methods for you to get your hands wet, get things rolling, and get a feel of what it actually takes to make a dollar online; and then scaling it to tens of thousands of dollars. The following are also just some of the online money methods out there that you might consider as well. Just remember that it takes patience to see any real results, and it’s usually something you’ll want to start out doing part-time (as the rewards can be small at first) and then build from there. I always tell people to try to make the first dollar and then build on that.

Take Surveys

One way to make money online is to start taking surveys. There are numerous companies that will pay you to take simple surveys. Most surveys won’t take very long to fill out, and you can do these in your spare time. The money you gain will be minimal to begin with, but you can get larger payments on occasion as well as rewards and other compensation. Plan to do several surveys before you see any real results.

Sell Photographs

If you are good at taking pictures, there are numerous sites online that will pay you for your photographs. Simply post your photographs on these sites and when someone buys an image, you’ll get a royalty. If you have a significant photograph collection, you can make a decent income doing this. Your results will be slow to start out but the more images you provide that are high quality, the faster the income will accumulate.

Write Articles

Many websites, blogs, and magazines require articles online. Article writing is a simple way to begin making money online. You need some decent skills in writing to see any real results from article writing, but there are plenty of jobs out there for you. Plan on making small amounts of money to begin with, but the results down the road can be well worth the initial effort. You may also get noticed by other people who are willing to pay you more for your work.

Display Advertising

If you own a blog or website, you can make money from displaying advertising on the site through sites such as Google AdSense. When someone clicks on an advertisement on your site, you are paid a royalty. Many website owners make a significant income from AdSense. This will only work if your blog or website is already quite established online as you need a great deal of sustained traffic to see any big numbers from AdSense.

Produce Videos on YouTube

Another way to make money online is to produce videos and put them on YouTube. This video content site is one of the largest sites online and gets millions of visitors each day. By placing your videos on this site, you can take advantage of this traffic and make money from the Google advertisements placed on your videos. The more traffic you get, the more money you have the potential to make. Many people make a full-time income with YouTube as the traffic numbers on the site are staggering.

Complete Micro-Jobs

Many sites such as Fiverr will pay you to do small tasks such as create articles, provide website traffic for someone, or make a video. This site allows you to set the job you want to do and once the task is completed, you get paid for it. This can be an easy way to make money if you have tasks that don’t require much time for you to complete. Micro-Job sites don’t pay you a whole lot of money, but there’s the potential to make more money as you can add extra features to your job for more income per task after you have been on these sites for some time.

Provide Freelancing Work

Another way to make money online is to become a freelancer with whatever skills you have such as writing, website creation, programming knowledge, editing, and so on. Sites such as oDesk and Elance will pay you to do freelancing jobs. All you need to do is bid on a job and if the employer accepts your proposal, you can begin the work and get paid once it is done. If you have good skills, you can make a full-time living on these freelance sites especially if your skills are in high demand.

Provide Customer Service

Online you can make money being a customer service representative for some company. Sites such as workingsolutions.com will hire you to do customer service for them. Your pay will be minimum wage, but you can make a small part-time income doing this if it’s something you would like to do. This isn’t a job for everyone since you’ll have to deal with the public, but it can be something worth doing if you need the money.

Perform Odd Jobs

Through websites such as Twitter and Facebook you might be able to connect with people who need some odd job done such as a blog post, article, or something similar. As long as your skills match what they need, they might consider hiring you for a low fee as it’s easier than trying to hire someone in the “real world”. Small data entry tasks are an example of odd jobs you can do online.

Provide Typing Skills

If you have blazing fast typing speed, you might find work online typing transcriptions such as medical billing and other work. You can make a decent income doing this type of job; however, some jobs require that you have some type of medical background/knowledge before you can begin typing medical transcriptions, but there are other transcribing jobs available, too, if you look for them.

Provide Tutoring

You might find a job online as a tutor if you have the right skill set. For example if you have skills as a musician, you might tutor students directly online instead of going to a music school. Other tutoring jobs can include regular school classes and other areas such as cooking, health, or Internet marketing. The tutoring job you take will all depend upon your skills.

Those are just some of the examples of jobs online that you can do, and I call them “Skimming the Surface”. Don’t try to do them all; just pick one and run with it. Most of all, make sure you take action. All of the techniques discussed above can be expanded, enhanced, and turned into great systems if you will just give yourself a chance and try.

Just remember, like I said before, that most of these J.O.B.s will be part-time for the most part but don’t get me wrong: it is possible to go full-time as well. But in order to do that, you need to build a really strong system around any one of the J.O.B.s you chose to pursue; otherwise, they will simply become just another kind of J.O.B. for you.

However, having a J.O.B. online as opposed to regular 9-5 J.O.B does not have to be a problem if you can keep your focus and constantly remind yourself that it’s only a means to an end. Performing these J.O.B.s will afford you the time you need to learn all of the business skills that you will need when you are ready to launch your own business.

The reason I say part time is, in my own opinion, you can use the free time that you gain by doing these J.O.B.s to learn more about building genuine business systems. I will discuss more about this in the next chapter.
