How to make money online

December 3rd, 2010 No comments

In this series of articles (or a mini-course, if you will) I will propose you a few ways how to make money online with Internet marketing. While there are many ways to make money online, such as taking surveys, writing reviews, freelancing, trading and even selling your old stuff, I want to focus on the Internet marketing. And there’s a good reason to do that. Everything that goes on the Internet goes down to marketing in one way or another. Therefore, it’s of a greatest demand and that demand will be there as long as the Internet is there. It makes a lot of sense to focus on it and create long term online business strategies around it.


These articles are mainly for beginners, but even if you have your online business and you’re doing good, I would say there’s a good chance you can do even better by focusing on the Internet Marketing side.

I will propose you a few ways for how to make money online. Some will allow you to make money right away, while others will require more time, but most of them are evergreen and will work for months to come as long as you focus on any one or more of them.

Before we begin, I’d like to set your expectations. I’ve noticed that not all people have the same expectations when they look for how to make money online and that affects their success with one are another method. So before you continue reading, I think it will be right to tell you who this mini-course is for and for who it is not.

This mini-course is for you if…

* You’re not afraid to do some work

* You want to make substantial money online and not just a few bucks


* You’re not afraid to build a website if needed


* You have some spare hours a day to dedicate to make money online

However, this mini-course is NOT for you if…

* Don’t want to do any work whatsoever


* Just want quick money without doing any real work or putting any effort


* Online business and making consistent money from the Internet intimidates you


* You simply don’t have the time.

If you fall into the latter category, I’m sorry but I can’t help you. Perhaps you can find some paid surveys to fill or get a few pennies for reading emails, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But this mini-course is geared towards people who are not afraid to do some work and reap the benefits.

If you fall into the first category, let’s dive into it. Every method you see here is personally tested by me and is based on my experience – they’re not just theory, so if you implement them properly, you can expect to make money. I will be adding more ways to make money online in the future, so do bookmark this page and check back regularly.

I’d also like to note that the information revealed here is the same information some people charge money for. In fact, you may have already bought some of those courses. And that’s ok – commercial products naturally are more detailed and provide you more assistance, however my intent here is to provide as much information as possible for free.

To begin, choose a topic from the table of contents below. You will see the table of contents in every article so you can browse through the different topics anytime. You can also check some of the related posts from the blog.

Make money through online competitions

November 6th, 2009 No comments

Most people are focused on making money online, but what about winning it? This is an area where you can really capitalize on the idea of earning a lot of money in a very short amount of time. And it’s not just cash you can win either. Luxury cars, vacations, computers, free groceries, a year off your mortgage… you name it, you can probably find it online and try and win it.

The secret is to know how to get started in the shortest amount of time possible – and to know where to look. Have you ever come across anyone in your neighbourhood that seems to be luckier than everyone else? They might appear to have a lot of disposable income to spend on cars and great vacations, especially since they haven’t got the kind of jobs that would bring in that much make money ideas. There are two probable (legal) answers to this. They might have a second business they run from home, or they might just be entering a lot of online competitions.

There are of course plenty of offline competitions you can enter as well, but the big bonus of online competitions is that they are quick and easy to enter and you don’t generally have to muck around collecting vouchers or anything to enable you to enter either. Everything is done online and that means you can enter lots more competitions than you would if you tried to enter the offline versions.

The most common type of online competition is one where you answer a multiple choice question and then complete your details to be entered into the competition itself. Most of these questions are easy and even if you are stumped a few minutes of research on the internet will usually turn up the right answer. The main rule to remember is that to stand the best chance of winning you will need to enter as many competitions as you can. The popularity of each competition will also vary, since most people will only tend to enter those competitions which have prizes they want to win. Some competitions don’t receive many entries at all, which means it’s in your best interests to enter everything in sight.

Don’t forget that if you end up winning something you don’t like or want, you can take the prize and either sell it on eBay, through the local paper or sell it to a friend or relative. That gives you another way to make money from online competitions!

Many companies set up online competitions to capture possible leads for promoting and selling their future products to, and you will be required to give them a valid email address (and sometimes a phone number as well) in order to enter the competition. You are then agreeing to receive promotional emails from them in the future. To help prevent your inbox being swamped with such emails, make sure you set up another email address purely for your competition entries. Just remember to check it every now and again to see whether you have won anything!

You can easily find dozens of free online competitions to enter by typing that exact phrase into the search engines. Many sites will let you join them for free, and they give you access to all the best competitions on the web at any one time. This is a great way to save time since everything is in one convenient to locate place. Even if you are trying to make money online in other ways, entering competitions is so easy that you’d be crazy not to try it alongside your other efforts. You might soon have a brand new car parked outside as a reward for your efforts.
