  • 3) Getting a free website and posting it on Craigslist
    Not really sure what the reference to Craigslist is for. Do you mean set up or just procure a free website and then sell it someone via Craigslist? I'm not postivie how Craigslist works, but I can't see how posting it on Craigslist would make you any money. Some details would be very helpful here.

    I want to emphzsize for those who don't understand, just getting a website or a blog DOES NOT MAKE YOU MONEY! To makes money with a blog or website you have to monetize it by the use of affliate links, Adsense links, etc. Once/or if you ever get a large enough audience to your blog/website and people clicking links you might earn some money, but it is nothing carved in stone as to how much you will make. Those that are making $1K or more a month are probably in the top 1-5% of bloggers. You have to pay attention to these sites, posting frequently, posting interesting information that others will want to read. These days also with good pictures that people will want to Pin to Pinterest so that others might come to your site via those Pins. Making money via a blog or website, is probably one of the hardest ways over time to make money even though they are fairly easy to set up. You most likely can actually make more doing low paying surveys than having a blog/website.

      I'd say that affiliate marketing is the way to go. I've made lots of money that way :-)

      • Hey hello guys !! I'm not a very tech-savvy person so I just hate sitting in front of my computer for hours and surfing the internet. Recently a colleague of mine, who's also my best friend, is really worried about his shrinking disposable income. He has to work really hard to make both ends meet since our company is just a start-up and it isn't paying us that good . He has a big family and he's desperately in search of another source of income. He had asked me to help after a neighbour recommended him online network marketing as a possible solution so today I came across your community in search of some guidance and tips for beginners. Thanks a lot!!

        • online network marketing
          While some highly recomend this form of making money (especially if they can get you in their downstream), it is highly dependent on getting people under you selling and people under them selling, etc. Very mcuh like Tupperware, Amway, etc. Unless you can push product (assuming there is one) AND round up people to sell underneath you, it is a good way to spin your wheels.

          There are however, many other ways to make money on line, that aren't dependent on a downstream of others.

          I would suggest that your friend (and you if you are also looking for making more money), go to the Kindle store on Amazon, if you have an Kindle, and download samples of books on making money on line. A sample is about 1/10 of the book, so reading the first ten percent of a book and reading about 5-10 samples will give you a bunch of ideas that will help you know, which book to buy if you want to for more info, and also many ideas of ways to make money on line. I have found that this 'system' gives me lots of food for thought for other non-fiction topics, including using Pinterest in the best way possible.

          We have so many resources possible via the internet that are free or almost free on making money it is marvelous. It still needs work to find that perfect niche though. I remember my stepfather with the same type arthritis I have, he searched for ways to make some extra money and most were just scams. Nothing he could do from home with the limited health that he had. When I think of the possiblities that I have, I could just cry. We are so blessed in many ways in this day and age! The opportunities are there, you just have to seek them out. If I was well and we had 48 hour days and no need of sleep, I could be making a fortune on line in many very legitimate ways and all free to start!

              • Making money online

                Making money online is a dream of thousands and even millions of people around the world. I mean who wouldn’t like to work from home! Lots of us dream of home based jobs where we can work from the comfort of our own homes and be able to have more free time to spend with friends and family. It sounds easy and somewhat fun. And despite the fact that there are hundreds of ways to make money online,

                • Lots of us dream of home based jobs where we can work from the comfort of our own homes and be able to have more free time to spend with friends and family. It sounds easy and somewhat fun.
                  Not necessarily easy, but it makes it easy for people like myself that have health problems and can't go out to a regular job to earn some much needed finances for our home. It can also be hard to know when to quit what you are doing and walk away to spend time with family and friends. But it is the best way to be able to work in your jammies or nighties.

                  I think the things that people find the hardest is actually organizing themselves enough to do what has to be done, reading the rules and following them, not giving up when the going gets rough or the money doesn't come in like you think it should. Those people that you hear about making $10,000/month are extremely rare maybe one in a quarter million of the people making money on line make that much consistently - I'm talking net income, not gross. You also have to think hard about your goals.

                  One man told me he had a goal of selling about 60 items a month from his store. At that point his store barely had 30 items in it. That is obviously a problem, especially when they have no clue as to where to get more inventory. You need to set goals and steps to achieving those goals to be successful with making money on line.

                  • If you’re a good swimmer you might be able to pick up a weekend swim teacher gig at your local recreation center. Keep in mind that some places may require a special certification or that you be a lifeguard.

                      Great idea. I have a friend that has been doing that for years. When she was getting near the time to recertify her lifeguarding certificate she took me to the pool to practice rescuing me!

                        • I will tell it too that blogging is an other method to make money so fast and smartly
                          John any chance you can tell us a 'ball park' figure on what you make with your blog and what it is about? So many people say that having a blog is such a great way to make money, but never any inkling for how much they are making, or the ways they get their blogs to produce income, or even if THEY have a blog themselves.

                          • I will tell about only one way and I think If any person can use it properly, It will be so benefited for him that is "affiliate marketing".
                            Okay, you don't want to talk about blogging, but would rather talk about affliate marketing. To make money from a blog generally requires some type of affliate marketing and if you aren't good at getting a blog or website going well with lots of traffic, then you won't make money with that blog or website whether you use affliate marketing or not. Unless you can figure out a way to get lots of visitors that will click on links, or buy things you have to sell, you won't make much if anything.

                            I don't say this to discourage anyone, but to be sure they have an understanding that there is work involved to making more money. Just like any good business, you have to lay a good foundation to build on.

                            • NO TAX (if secondary income)
                              Perhaps true in the UK, but NOT in the USA. Uncle Sam doesn't care if you have 10 jobs, he will tax you for everything you make at all of them. So will the governors of states with income tax and towns with income tax.
