Beat the Recession: Make Money Online
- ARTICLES |
Sell a Product
Whether it is a virtual product like an e-book full of information or a real product like candles, there are many ways to make money selling products online. For beginners, it's best to start selling on a website like eBay. While there are fees involved, it's easier to tap into an existing market of paying customers.
Sell a Service
For those who can write articles, post links, or design logos, there is always work to be had online. Anyone who has a good skill set should be able to sell their services via forums, referrals or from a website that is established to sell services online.
Sell Advertising
If you have your own website and are able to generate traffic (this is key), you may be able to make money selling advertising. You can do this on your own if you have good sales skills, or you can use an ad network (like Google's Adsense) to automatically sell your ad space for a cut of the revenue.
Sky is the Limit
As you can see from this very basic overview, there are the main general ways you can make money online, but within each category, there are limitless possibilities. It is becoming harder and harder to make money online these days - with so much competition - but for those with creativity and persistence, working online from home can really pay off in the short term and in the long run.
