Curious how one makes money on line part time with SEO? Would you care to expand and offer insights as to how you make money doing this?

Dont get into SEO marketing. Do something that will build you a residual income on basically auto-pilot

Dont get into SEO marketing

I didn't say I wanted to get into SEO. People say things like 'you can make money with SEO' (they didn't even include the word marketing) and never explain how money is to be made that way. I can't even find the original post now. Many of the 'ideas' here seem to be given by people that have only heard that you can make money that way. Rarely does anyone explain how THEY make money using that particular way. I think someone telling their own experiences would truly help some of the people looking for ways to make money, but then there are a lot of websites that tell you all about fast and easy ways to make money and I doubt that most of them work for the majority of people. I've been making money online for years now and have shared my experiences. It is possible but it was neither fast or easy! It requires daily work just like any other job.

Google's team of annalists are way more advanced then they were in the past. SEO marketing now a days has a lot to do with just posting quality content I feel.

Your right about lots of site and people saying there is easy money to be made all the time. A lot of these will work if you have a big following, but there are only some that till last. Personally I have a few things that definitely work.

What I do on line is I have been selling books and then sewing patterns for 12+ years now. For the most part now I only sell sewing patterns. It has really helped the bottom line of our finances since my income dropped by more than two-thirds when I had to go on SS disability. I also do the occasional survey, usually for CVS. A month or two ago I made $32 in bonus bucks doing three surveys, and since I shop their sales a lot, it is as good as cash to me. I also have a blog and am getting another one up as well. The one blog I have had for a long time and haven't made probably any more than $30 over the years between Adsense and Amazon ads. I have much higher hopes for the new blog I will be starting. You do have to understand that sewing patterns is very much a niche market for me as sewing and needlework of many types is my hobby. I love to do it when feeling well and when not feeling well I read about it. My love of sewing comes through loud and clear to my customers. They will pay more for my patterns because they can trust me than sellers who just pick them up at yard sales along with other stuff and can't even write a coherent description for them, other than "I don''t know anything about patterns, it is being sold as is." who would you rather take a chance on, them or me???

One of the other neat things that I do, that while it doesn't add any money to my pocket it has supplied some neat things to our lives that we couldn't afford otherwise. I was invited to join the Amazon Vine Reviewers and get monthly items that I can pick to either read and review or try out and review. Just in the past couple of months I got to try out two different kinds of facial tissues, they sent me 9 packs of one kind and 8 of another. Needless to say we now have a several years supply of them and I won't be spending any money on that for a long time. I also this past week got a refillable water bottle that I can use one-handed, so great while driving the car and even with the arthritis in my hands I can open it and it closes automatically. I've also gotten a crock pot that can stir food and since my other crock pot was literally on it's last legs (one had fallen off) it has come in real handy. Two weeks ago I got a toaster oven, something I had never had or used before. We are already thrilled with it. No bending over for me to get food in and out of the oven, savings on the electric bill from not having to run the electric oven for food for two of us. I could go on and on. How did I get this opportunity? You can not ask to be in this group, Amazon invites you. I can only assume it was because I, without any incentive, wrote many reviews on books I read, both fiction and non-fiction and so this opportunity came to me. When I first starting doing those reviews I knew nothing about the review program and when I first started into the program, I mostly only had books to read and then other things got added to the list. I had laid a foundation to score an opportunity. Now when I see the list I think about can I use this and like the crock pot, I knew our finances wouldn't allow the purchase of a new one, or a toaster oven, or even the water bottle I got.

So when people ask for ways to make easy money on line, I know it isn't easy, because I have worked as hard as a chronically ill person can to make a success of myself, and I took advantage of opportunities that presented themselves. Now independent authors and publishers contact me to do reviews of their's or their authors books which I'm generally glad to do. Who knows where it will all go. Two years ago I got to help judge a writing contest and earned a $350 gift 'card' to Amazon! And the rewards keep coming.

My best words of advice. Quit looking for easy, fast money. Find something you love and find a way to make money at it.
