If you have some money to invest, study how to put-up a blog. You can use this blog for affiliate marketing or for advertisements. Through that way, you can earn decent money in time. In terms of work, there are lot of works now online. Whether you are a data encoder, web developer, or etc, you can find a work online.

Not sure what you mean about having money to invest to start a blog. Most blogs (actually all that I know of anyhow) don't cost a nickle to start one. There is no investment involved. If you have never had a blog before, go with one of the free ones like Blogger which allow you to post ads and affliate links. If you have never had a blog and decide you want one, to pay for the privilege is taking a big risk. Are you sure about what you will blog about and how often you can commit to blogging, how much traffic you will receive, etc. Not as scarey as a free blog.

Hi Abdullah, here are some options to go for : online freelancing, affiliate marketing and online selling.

I would start with Fiverr. You can make $4 for any sale you make. You can sell any kind of services and earn a bundle.

I 2nd Fiverr, if you can offer some interesting service you can cash out a lot of money. Take a look there to see what is selling best and do that.

There are lots of things which can help you earn money. EBay is one best place to start, you can gather stuffs which you are not anymore using and try to sell it there. If your passion is to write, you can offer your writing skills. Blogging is an in demand strategy nowadays. If you are good when it comes to multimedia works, you can always do photo manipulation and turn it out into a design on a t shirt print - customized especially for gifts. Selling DIYs also pays well - or you can sign up for freebies, free samples and stuffs - this can help you save money ... No matter what your passion is, it is always a way to make more money.

Bobby55--How much money have you actually made this way? This is a 'business' where you have to pay to join and continue to pay yearly. Then after plunking down your money you have to figure out how to get yourself promoted in search engines way above the big domain name sellers to even make money. I've never even heard of small time resellers like you are talking about. I seriously doubt it is as easy as you say or as profitable as you say. Any site can say they are a lucrative way to make money, but until I see some facts and figures, I don't believe that kind of site for a minute and I would hate to see someone low on funds, pay out money they can't afford into something like this and then see that a month or two later, that they haven't found a single customer.

People who are desperate for money need to be told the truth, not pie in the sky hopeless information. Which is why I asked if you have made money doing this. A person asked for advice on 'making a living' on line. They have been offered many suggestions, but I don't see many who offer themselves and what they have done as examples. Just about anybody that is on line long enough has heard of ways to make money and it is easy to repeat them, but much more difficult to show what suggestions have the most value and merit. I only bring this up because it seems to me that it would be much more helpful for someone to say what they do and approx. what they make per year doing it. It might bring some focus to those that need extra income. I'm not trying to dig into people's income, but just enough exposure to say, "I make about $100 year blogging." or "I make about $10K a year selling on ebay before expenses, which brings the net income down to about $4K year". And if a person has done something on line personally to say that they have HEARD that this is a good way but they haven't tried it themselves.

Please understand that I'm not trying to be rude, but to help make this thread one that has some value to the readers.

If you want to make a little spending money from home or earn a full-time salary, now’s the time — especially if you have a computer. Just going online opens up a host of opportunities. The trick is knowing which businesses are legitimate.

At Fiverr (fiverr.com), you can offer services that use your skills — designing a business card, creating a podcast jingle, planning a trip — for five bucks a pop. Fiverr keeps $1 and the seller gets $4 per gig. Stefanie Strobel, 28, of Newport Beach, California, writes people’s messages in the sand at the beach and takes a picture that she then emails to them. “I make about $300 per month and can do about 10 to 15 messages per hour, depending on length and complexity,” says Stefanie.

I actually make my living online, so maybe I'm quite well placed to help here.

My advice is to target opportunities that aren't just informational, but transactional. Affiliate opportunities aren't what they use to be, but there is still a huge need for content that is superior to all others. Just spend time creating a website you would be proud of, know how to market it, and keep working on it. Think through a revenue model, and you should be OK.

The number 1 thing I would suggest is...just do it. Buy a web address for like £20, host it and design it through Wordpress. You'll learn a ton in under a month, and you'll be in the process of creating, learning and thinking about opportunities. It'll change the way you think, which is one of the most important parts of making money full stop.

concur completely with Gailette. too many times people think there's ways to earn easy money online but usually it takes the same discipline and direction to make money as anywhere else

I would gladly put in the same amount of work online as I would anywhere else if I knew I was going to be successful. Unfortunately you can never be sure of that.

You can't be sure of success whether you work on line or off. You can do many things to help ensure success and the biggest is look before you leap and don't expect instant success.

Yes, specialize a field, find your own niche in one category and research that field. Its not easy to get a job online, you will find many frauds and scams out there. Its a time-consuming task.
Ways will be:
zeroing in one field
specialize that sector
research well
find legitimate sites offering jobs in that particular sector
contact them
ask for references.

Absolutely! Especially if you want to make a living on line as opposed to some pocket change spending money.
