A Few Ways To Make Money Online


by Chris Spencer

There are a number of ways to make money online, you just need to find something that appeals to you and matches your skills set. Do not expect to get rich quick online anymore than you can in the real world, and be wary of those offers that suggest you can make incredible amounts just as you are of such offers in the real world. Most of the ways you can generate an income online require some writing skills, but not all of them.

The best way to make money online that requires absolutely no knowledge or skills set of any kind is taking surveys. Surveys usually require a few minutes to an hour per selection, so several can be filled out in a single day. The problem with surveys is that many companies want to pay in prizes and rewards, not cash money. There are several companies that do pay in cash, however.

If you are a blogger, you can accept sponsored posts on your blogs. You write the ads for companies that are provided by a broker. The average range of posts goes from $5.00 - 10.00 all the way up to several thousand for celebrity bloggers. You can create a blog for the sole purpose of advertising, but you need to post more than just advertisements or someone is likely to flag it as spam. Choose a theme that fits an interest of yours - one you know you can write about for a long time to come. Split-up advertisements with real blog posts and run your blog as you would any other.

Some companies offer sponsored messages for you to place as your status on social networks. These ads pay several cents to a few dollars each, usually depending on the number of followers or friends you have. Others pay only if someone clicks on the attached link or performs some other call to action as specified. As with sponsored blog posts, be careful not to post too many ads at once or you will run people off; intersperse your sponsored status messages with real ones.

Creating a website is another great way to promote goods and services related to the subject matter of the site. You can also run banner ads from affiliate networks, though these only pay per impression or click. Some banner ads only pay if the visitor performs a call to action, such as signing-up for a newsletter or joining a program. You can also join affiliates that pay commissions based on sales. You can include a blog on your site and create profiles for it on social networks to develop several streams of revenue from one source. If you are not very familiar with HTML, you can use a Content Management System (CMS) to handle your content.

There are many ways to generate an income online, you just have to find a way that fits your skills set and is easy for you to handle. Generally speaking, working online allows you to set your own hours and work from your home, on the go, or anywhere in-between, so it is great for those with families or other jobs.
