  • The Secret to Make Money online + 1 Easy Way to Make Money!

    Hi Guys,

    There are lots of ways to make money online. But unfortunately, there are so many scams out there that most people end up losing money. And I think the reason for that is the unreasonable expectation that people have when it comes to making money online

    Most people think just because its online its easy to make money and there is no work involved. Thats why they get scammed so easily when scammers sell them "push button" solutions that will supposedly make them rich over night.



    I should know for 2 reasons; 1- I was once there a long time ago and I was scammed many many times. 2- I run a personal finance blog (the 1st reason is why i started the blog so I could share my experience) and I get so many emails from people asking me "Hey whats the secret to making money online?", "Whats the easy and quick way that doesn't require any work?", and similar questions.

    I had one guy sending me an email basically saying "hey, I don't like to work hard, in fact I don't like to work, I want something easy that I can click a few buttons and make money. Can you please help me?..."

    I told them the same thing I tell everyone else, that there is no secret, there is no push button solution.

    I share everything I know, including step by step instruction on how to make money with different methods on my site, yet people still contact me asking me how they can make money faster and with no work with the same method that I have explained in details how to do it Its just amazing to me.

    Well, I guess there is a secret and that is...

    The secret to making money online is that just like making money offline takes hard work and dedication, it takes hard work and commitment to make money online. And, there is no push button way to make money online.

    Whether its a few extra hundred dollars a month you want to make or a an online business you want to run that's going to pay all of your bills, you have to spend some time and energy.

    So guys, please keep this in mind. Don't ever waste your money on ebooks and so called "online money making courses" that promise you thousands of dollars over night. It's not possible. Some of these scammer and so called "marketers" even show you how they make thousands of dollars over night, so you think it must be real. But what these people don't tell you is all the hard work they had to put into it. Some of them had to work moths and years to get to the point where they are. They don't tell you that, because they know if you know that, you are not going to buy their stuff.

    With that said, here is one simple way you can make extra money online starting today:

    There is a site called Fiverr. On this site people sell all kinds of gigs for $5. Most of them are not good, but if you dig deep you can find quality stuff.

    Offer some kind of gig and become a seller.

    You can sell anything on this site. Since it just costs $5, people pay for craziest stuff there. I mean, there are people who are making a few thousand dollars a month by offering a service where they hold a sign (promoting buyers website or whatever) in front of a building, street or what have you and take a picture of it.

    There is a guy who offers prank calls for $5. Yes, you pay him and he will call your friend pretending to be whoever you want him to be.

    Its crazy the kind of stuff people are willing to pay for.

    Here is what you can do:

    Sit down and think of ideas. I'm sure you have some kind of talent or skills. Put a unique twist to it and offer it on Fiverr. You can make more money with that gig by offering extras.

    If you can't come up with any ideas, now worries, just brows Fiverr and look at all the gigs people are offering. I am sure you can find some inspirations there. You can even offer the exact same gig other people are offering, but to make yourself stand out, add something extra to it.

    The important part is that you offer something that you can complete in 15-20 minutes. Afer all you don't want to spend 2 hours for $5. For example, if you are an expert on how to put tiles down, you can write a short guide about it, telling people who to do it, then turn into a PDF file or even a simple text file. Then offer it on Fiverr. the beauty of selling an ebook is that you can sell the same ebook over and over again. You write it once, then every time someone buys it, you just upload a copy of your ebook file.

    There are tons of ways to make money online. You just have to be creative, willing to work hard and realize that just because its online, doesn't mean its easy, otherwise you are going to fall for scams over and over again and you will never make money.

    Sorry, for rambling too long. It just makes me sad to see people losing their and their hopes to these crazy and unreasonable beliefs that marketers have put out there.

    Anyway, I don't have a lot of free time, but I'll make sure to come back here as often as I can and share other tips and ways of making extra money online.

    RE: Ways To Make Money

    I have actually used Fiverr on many, many occasions. I've used them to create headers for my websites, banners, videos, and more.

    I like the service because you get many services for only $5.

    Not all the services are good, so you have to try them and determine for yourself on whether you want to continue working with that individual or, in some cases, company. I have services that I do many times a month just because I like what they do.

    If you are tight on a budget, I do recommend using Fiverr.

      I agree with you. It takes work and dedication. Like you said, if you have a skill, put it to use. But, if you lack skills, you can still learn most of what you need to make money online, rather quickly.

      Fnny thing is, I was just answering another question in another thread about some of the misconceptions about making money online and supplementing your income.

      There is no instant wealth or get rich method. Dedicate, focus an work at it.

        It takes action and work to make money online as well as offline, like what has already been said. I second those thoughts. I currently promote products which actually teach people how to market online, since so many like to join programs and such and have no idea how to even start marketing online. There are a few basics that people need to know in order to start making money online and without these few basic things, its extremely difficult to make and maintain any sort of income online, no matter what method you want to use to generate an online income.

            Having somebody starting out and using fiverr to make an extra 4.00 a gig or at best $20.00 a day and titling your post the way you did is extremely deceiving and incorrect. Hard work and dedication to something you are good at with at least 10,000 hours of commitment with expectations to make 0 dollars is better suited. Anybody doing fiverr gigs will not amount to great wealth at $4.00 a pop.
