  • I would not pay $500 to join an online business, but if its less than $100 why not. I don't really believe in businesses that you join for free.
    Have you actually paid that much to join an on line business? I have never paid anything upfront to make money on line. Some times there are selling fees and listing fees if you are developing a store, but other than that, I don't see any reason to pay to make money. It isn't necessary at all. Of the ones that comment here on this thread, I think I am one of the few that actually MAKES money on line too.

    People keep bringing up blogging as a way to make money. For those that are great writers with a topic that is of great interest and so they gain traction and followers, and then yes they might make money. It won't happen overnight, it might take a year or two to take off and you won't probably make much money. It is the same with affiliate programs. One program I belong to has paid me out around $70 I think over 5-6 years and I haven't made a red cent in over a year from them. I haven't gotten word that they disbanded the affiliate program, so maybe it is just no one has clicked on my links for it for a long while.

    The best way to make money is research what is available, figure out what you want to do and what you have to do to succeed at it, and work on making it pay. You can do this to a variety of ways to make money. If you work smart and hard, you might eventually make a living wage on line, but that also depends on what you consider a living wage as well.

      • If you are a job holder then online works can provide you a handsome amount of money besides your fixed income. You can write articles, create blog posts, do some craigslist jobs etc.

        • Has anyone mentioned Fiverr yet? I made a couple hundred bucks in a month writing SEO articles. There are lots of ways to make money on Fiverr! All you have to do is find someone successful, and copy what they're doing. You'll make money if you do a great job! Just don't do things that are too time consuming for you.

            When I think of Fiverr, I think of the numerous posts by women willing to write advertisements on their boobs for $5.

                Although that sounds tempting lol, I have found Fiverr quite useful getting my business up and running. There are a lot of people putting out quality work on there.

                • Yes true there are many ways to earn money but what is important is you have to put it in a trusted bank.
                  We make money on line because we need it to live on! Although we do bank the money we need to set aside for things like this month: Estimated taxes (IRS< state, town), Regular tax returns of those three and then at the end of the month like that wasn't enough, property taxes. April is a money blood bath, although this April looks to be shaping up better than most years as I think I have about enough set aside

                  Any leftover we try to invest for higher returns than you would get at a bank.

                      • Even i have been constantly thinking about earning extra money. I also get lots of email about that. once i read about earn money online with surveys. you can never find out just by reading the schemes to earn money that it will be worth or not.

                          I would suspect that any scheme that sends you email about making extra money is a scam or at least I treat them like they are.

                          There are many legitimate ways to earn money on line, but all take work and planning and an understanding of the process. If you can't figure out how they make money or what the thing is all about then don't go near it. Run fast from any scheme that promises fast, easy money with no work!

                            • Make Extra money

                              As you already mentioned there, that with the help of Blogging for others or for own, it really helps us, I have been doing this from last 11 months. You can also go for selling those items which you don’t need right now or in further.
                              If you can handle or run any kind of websites, you can also add affiliate packages to it, on every hit you are going to be paid.
                              If you are good in writing stories. You can also sell your stories.
                              You can also work for local super markets at weekends, might be they can pay you the double.
                              You can also promote yourself as an exam invigilators during exam periods, since teachers and lecturers have many other works to do.

                              • There are really many ways on how to earn money but the problem is some of us are too lazy to find ways on where they can get money from different things.
                                Francis, I think you are completely 'right on' with that comment. I've seen it over the years that too many that say they want to earn money on line have an excuse for every opportunity to the point that they can't see any opportunities anymore. This is why when someone mentions a way the person then wants spoon fed the hows and whys of the system and don't want to even bother looking it up or researching it themselves. I remember seeing people on a forum that want to sell on ebay (this was years ago). They wanted to know how to sign up, how to find product to sell, how to make a listing, etc. but I doubt they ever even went to ebay and clicked on any of the buttons on how to sell there! Same with the Amazon affiliate program. The links to the hows are very easy to find, but some would rather be told how to do it than go look for the info themselves.

                                To make money on line, if nothing else you have to be a self-starter. If you are the kind of person that is always waiting and wanting to be told what to do, I doubt that there is much room for any chance of success in making money on line.

                                Laziness is going to kill our country!
