What do you do to make money online?

Depending on what you decide to get into you could have a huge learning curve especially if you're completely new to internet marketing.

I'd stay as far away as you can from anything that seems too good to be true because most of the time it leads to some type of MLM.

If you want to start with true internet marketing look into buying some products related to list building, generating paid and free traffic and maybe copywriting to get you started.

If you jump right into pure affiliate marketing you probably won't have much luck.

I hope that helps

We'd be all day if I answered this question. Instead of giving you fish, I'll teach you how to fish.

1. Scour the web for moneymaking systems.
2. Decide which ones you have the ability to do.
3. Decide which ones you would want to do.
4. Dig deeper and discover if the systems are actually working.
5. Isolate the systems with the best long-term potential that can eventually be outsourced.
6. Choose one system.
7. Put together a complete plan.
8. Review the plan for any problems.
9. Take action.

Rinse, repeat.

Some of the information you'll find for free. Some, the high-level stuff, will be locked up and you'll have to buy.

What sort of skills do you have? Personally, I try to make use of various freelancing websites. There are many, and if you're good at what you do (writing, web design, SEO services, anything), you could make quite a bit of cash online.

There's a million ways to make a million dollars

I would recommend what you are passionate about doing...

Combined with what can be made profitable.

every method that you read about here is real and working, it just depends on your skills and interests as to what will work for you.. for example if I make a killing on ebay selling, that doesn't mean the same will necessarily happen to you

I have 25 niche sites that generate me enough money each month to live comfortably off as well an email list full of buyers. These 2 alone are enough for me but I have many other multiple streams of income that make me up to $10k a month.

You're right there are many ways to earn online but you don't want to overwhelm yourself to start out.
This might help you out a bit, I hope.

- Build up a following (email list, subscribers, followers, friends etc..)

- Find an offer or product to offer or sell. (Make sure it will convert, how will you know? Did it convert
or entice you to learn more? That's how you know! If you hate it don't offer or try to sell it. If you love it then go for it.

- Action plan (put that offer or product in front of your following)

Consistency and taking action is the key!!!!


Hope this helped Good Luck!

I'm really glad nobody told me that before I started. I didn't have (and certainly didn't need!) anything like that, to do it professionally; that might just have put me off.

I do this. (That whole thread may interest/help you, too.) Have been doing it for over 6 years, have been very lucky with it, and it's been very good to me.

Good luck!

Here is one that works, but it requires some time and effort. Some offline work is also required..I go to a local Home Improvement store on weekends and look for clearance items and returns. ( Besides my normal purchases)

These products are heavily discounted. You have to be very careful what to purchase. Not everything is a bargain or some products don't sell at all. I like to look at fixtures in boxes that are easy to ship.

Once I find something that I like, I pay for the product and bring it home. Later on I will log on to Amazon.com to list the product in my sellers account. Amazon allows you to enter the bar code numbers and it will match the product to others that are listed on Amazon. If a decent profit is available it is time to list the product. If the product moves quickly Amazon will send you a note to ship the item. Take the product to the Post office and ship it right away. 30 days later Amazon deposits the money in a checking account.


Their is more involved to this method but it works. You will not be leaving your day job but there are some decent profits in it. Amazon is advertising for you and it makes money online. Hopefully that helps answer your question.

I'm a member of a cpa network calle maxbounty. I have a bunch of display network campaigns on google that target relationship niches.

I have a successful game site with hot games.
I get 5,000 visits per day, and I earn from the ads located on site.
This is a great way for me to earn money as I love games

I think one of the best ways for a newbie to get started is with YouTube video marketing combined with affiliate marketing. All you need is a domain, hosting, and autoresponder and you can get started right away.

Look for a niche that is really crowded then find a niche inside of that niche, and market that to people who are always looking for the latest and greatest thing in that niche. In the purple cow, they call these folks the sneezers.

Entreprenelius,

What we do to make money online is generate B2B leads and close good contracts for our brick and mortar company; and

There are lots of creative ways to make money online. Here are some of them:

1. Highest 2014 Youtube Earner -- This video author earned almost $5M last year from ad revenues...

Decent Concept = Create videos where you open and demonstrate Disney toys. Or, create videos about other things with commercial value that thousands upon thousands of people want to watch and are searching for in Youtube and in Google and are sharing and talking about in various heavily trafficked social networks. Sign up as a Youtube partner. Upload your videos. Optimize your videos for human viewers and for organic Youtube and SE traffic. Promote your Youtube channel in social networks. Test out paid Youtube advertising, Facebook advertising, Google Adwords, Bing advertising, private ad banner / text ad / advert / mailing list ad placement and PR distribution campaigns. Here are the stats of this video author:

Total Subscribers: 3,213,200
Monthly Views: 379,932,270
Estimated Annual Earnings: 4,860,207.60 USD

2. eBay, CL and other heavily trafficked classified ad sites -- Buy low. Sell high. That's it...

3. Offer telecommuting / remote services in online places where service buyers go to, well, buy services. These can be services that are required by Webmasters, online business owners, Web design / SEO providers, technology development businesses, Web property managers / marketing managers of companies and so on -- Self-explanatory...

There are many other ways, such as affiliate marketing, creating and selling your own digital products like software products and mobile apps, generating leads for local companies and businesses, flipping websites, flipping domains and so on...

My best advice is to find something you are interested in, find a helpful marketer who can be your mentor, leave everybody and everything else alone and take all the action your mentor tells you to take. Do that with even a mediocre mentor and you will succeed. Just don't expect to make thousands of dollars your first month. Only 1 in 1000 and liars make 5000 their first month. Don't think you are the special 1.

You have read, you asked for help, now take action.

I have a YouTube channel and I earn $ through advertising.

I sell ebooks. Great lifestyle to me. Honestly affiliate marketing seems like an easier "lifestyle business"... but i feel like i have more control with my own ebooks. I do alot of paid advertising. Very little free marketing these days. I just make sure i update my content channels everyday.

It is important to find one thing you are good at or would like to do.
No use flying off on tangents moving from blogging to youtube to email marketing.

I do seo

The truth is "more insight" is going to leave you more confused. Stick to a few things and make bank. BTW I just saw a thread here that pointed to an article (Washington Post) on how to make $13k/year donating poop!!

Well, First you have to decide what kind of business you are planning to start. If you move further for getting the huge profit, then I would like to suggest you for eCommerce business and affiliate business. It is the best way by which you can earn huge money in lesser time. Apart from this, you can also prefer the freelancing.

Pick a niche with a strong passion and build a list within that niche by giving away FREE helpful information to built trust and credibility. Once they know who you are, they will start buying from you

I'm getting back into internet marketing, but using programs that have a low cost with immediate payback. I just started with a fresh new one that costed me only $10 (1 time fee), & gives out 100% returns. Got my $10 back and already made $50, in 1 week's time.

Well, here is my method. Build a list of hungry subscriber in your niche by giving away free things, then start building healthy relationship with ur list by sending them regular updates in that niche. Don't always try to sell, rather give value. By this way you can increase your crdibility in their eyes then sell to that list
. Thats it. Afterall the miney is in the List.

I sell digital products via simple sales funnels. Both my own and affiliate products.

For me I find promoting affiliate programs works best. I've tried many other options but this one is tried and tested and works well IMO.

I think mobile marketing is the easiest and it is simple. all you need is an auto-responder, 10$ and a hot niche with lots of products. E.g one from clickbank

You're right, there are a million ways to make money online. You're in the right place to ask questions so everyone here will pretty much help you out. Start researching the different ways you can create income and choose the ones you feel comfortable with and know you will be able to follow through with it until you start having success with it then, if possible, scale it up.

Don't get into the habit of trying different systems all at once, you will only get frustrated and confused. I know I was in the beginning! Stick to one system and master it. Once you find success in it, simply rinse and repeat.

There's so many different ways to make money online is ridiculous.

But is it easy? Nope, it takes a lot of time learning and implementing.

My best advice is to stick to a method of choice and master it. It is really easy to steer in all sorts of directions and get distracted.

The faster you master a skill, the more you'll starting earning.

I am not interested to do affiliate programs, So I do some small freelancing jobs to earn something from internet !

I do a variety of things, but always some affiliate and email marketing. I'm also developing my own products now.

I earn money via different channels. Logo design service and promoting hosting affiliate program works for me,

• Logo Design Service
• Blogging
• Sponsored posts
• Amazon affiliate
• Promoting Hosting Affiliate Program

Hosting affiliate programs are the best in my opinion. You get good commission for every sale.

Hello,
Now I'm busy with freelancing and doing social media marketing.
I'm a social media marketing expert to do SMM, SEM for websites to make promotion.
Thanks.

It's all about traffic generation and list building. I focus on content creation like blogging and shooting videos and I do paid ads every now and then like FB PPC and solo ads. It's really about consistency and effort. If you really want it bad, you're gonna get it.

Affiliate marketing works well for me.. you will get some good results upon hardwork...

I make money selling how I made money selling how to make money selling how to make money products to people wanting to learn how to make money online...

Just kidding... but people really do make money that way.

Any extra tips and help would be appreciated.

I will post ads to classified sites like Craiglist, Gumtree, USA Free Ads as well as Google Adwords and Facebook.

You might find it hard to believe what I am about to say. But posting ads especially to classified sites is what makes me my first $ when I got started in 2008.

I simply send the visitors straight to the salespage.

Back then I did not even know how to build websites or what list building is. I only got to master those when I decided to do IM full time 2 years later.

Though list building and email marketing are the still best strategies, it could do you more harm if you are a complete newbie who does not know how to set up squeeze pages, autoresponder or write content that converts readers into customers in both squeeze pages and emails.

So posting ads is the best way to get started.

Of course if you are not camera or video shy, you can set up a Youtube channel and post a series of videos whereby people can see you talking in person or doing powerpoint presentations.

When you put yourself into the right mindset, everything job related you do can get you money. I work as a freelancer on sites like oDesk and Elance and so far it has been a success.

there is a lot of ways to earn money online, like doing some articles, selling or agent by commission basis, virtual assistant and etc. But the number one thing is you need to know what is your forte so that it is easy for you to handle on it. good luck buddy!!

Stick to 1 - 2 businesses and stop (1 is th best), do not manage multiple resources or you will lose FOCUS and money

Making money online is indeed doable in so many ways.
The first thing to do, if you're thinking about making this step, is to stay away from fishy, scammy, too good to be true offers (like, paid surveys or stuff like that).
Once you eliminate these "methods", start thinking about what skills you have. You can do pretty much anything, you already listed a few good examples of ways to make money online. Now you just have to pick one that you think you're good at or the one thing you think you'll be quickly able to learn more about.

The first thing you need to do to learn to make money online is to study somebody that has done what you would like to do, somebody that can offer a step by step guide to show you how. Then my suggestion is to take consistent action every day. Study what niche you would like to venture off to and make sure it's a hungry evergreen niche. Always focus on building your list of prospects and delivering massive value and solutions to your prospects.

the best thing is to start affiliate marketing, when you become more experienced you can start to undertake the journey alone, but the road is long and difficult, I recommend to start to trust someone really competent .. then the profit will come

If I was in your shoes, I would just do ANYTHING. You need to do something, make mistakes and learn from them.

Don't just sit around over-analyzing things, because no matter how much plan your steps, you WILL fail anyway, as there's no other way around it.

The basic formula is to create valuable content, attract readers to your website/blog via social media/forums and then monetize it.
