In this blog, I usually write reviews about different ways or programs that you can use to make money online. While most of the programs I review require no initial investments and are free to join, others may require you to invest a small amount of money to buy a certain program in order for you start earning.
In this post, we look at 6 free and some of the most commonly ways used to make money online;
Blogging
Blogging is one of the most commonly way used to make money online by most people. There are thousands of bloggers making a living out of blogging. You just have to make sure you content is fresh, frequently updated and a little bit of SEO is done.
SEO will help you in driving traffic to your website through search engines. As we all know, the more visitors you have, the more likely someone will click on the ads found on your blog.
Article Writing
There are many websites offering article writing opportunities. If you are good in articles writing, this is also another great way to make money online. Writing search engine optimized articles will increase your chances of getting more exposure.
In addition, search engine optimized articles are more likely to generate higher page views, which is equivalent to higher earnings, especially if you are using ads network like Google Adsense.
Affiliate Marketing
If you enjoy marketing, then you could decide to go for affiliate marketing, where you get paid a certain commission based on total number of sales you make.
You could also join pay per lead kind of affiliate programs where you get paid for promoting other companies’ products or generating leads for their businesses.
Selling Your Products or Services
If you have a special talent that you would like to share with the world or maybe, you have created your own products, you could decide to sell them through your own website. You can also promote yourself through social networks like Twitter or involve middle men (affiliate marketers) to sell your products for you at a little fee.
However, when it comes to selling products through your own blog, you can only be able to do that if you have a blog that is already generating enough traffic and you have a good business relationship with your readers. Otherwise, it can be very hard to sell to people who do not know you.
Selling Your Old Stuffs
Do you have old stuffs that you do not use anymore? You could definitely make some good money selling old stuffs. Places like eBay, Craigslist and Amazon are best known for these kinds of businesses. You could also decide to buy other people stuffs and resell them later at a profit.
Survey Taking
Companies or advertisers are always looking for people to give opinions about their products and services. You could register with as many survey companies as possible and wait to be notified once a survey is available. One of the best survey websites that I could recommend you to join is GlobalTestMarket, which is open to international members.
These are my top 6 different ways to make money online. However, there are other thousands ways to make money but what I have highlighted seem to be the most commonly ways used by most people.
