    I tried a number of different things when I started online and fell into the free money making niche. I've been there for several years now and I really enjoy it. People always seem to be looking for free ways to earn.

    For the past 16+ years I have been monetizing purchased data(email) by promoting PPL (pay per lead...all a user has to do is fill out a form to make money) offers. I also promote regular CPA offers, but it's heavily weighted to PPL.. While some things have changed over time, the basic underlying principles/strategies have remained the same and continue to work.

    What has worked for me is coupling a good affiliate system that pays good commissions with a marketing system and paid traffic. So 3 things:
    1. Business / Products To Promote
    2. Marketing System (landing pages and autoresponder market above)
    3. Paid Traffic (making sure you are funding this part using profits from commissions)

      In fact every things works.

      problem is " consistence "

      some give up after getting few sales in fact ..as after that no more sales...despite they continue .

      Some times we have to tweak around , research , find out another ways .

    I have 2 niches that works really great for me: web development (I'm freelancer at Upwork) and affiliate programs (I promote products that I can offer my clients, so it's specific niche, however I receive a really great results).
    So always choose the niche you're exerienced in.

      Website Flipping, Fiverr and different other things worked well for me. A good thing is to have many small effective income streams that can be semi automated income.

      I have different kind of income streams that work welll for me, and that I only use 30 minutes a day to check if they are doing well.

    There are many things that work very well online but not everybody can use everything and be successful. Some methods require money (PPC marketing, website flipping, Amazon Selling...). Some don't require money but do require time and work ( SEO marketing, social marketing...). For me it's Amazon affiliate marketing using mostly SEO b. Find the method which you like and you think you can work with and then put all your guns there. That's it!

      It's freelance writing for me and affiliate marketing. When times are tough in affiliate marketing, especially during those numerous algo updates couple of years ago, I usually go back to online writing. But now I'm back again.

    Hi,

    What has worked for me....

    To be totally honest, any thing
    i get into starts working for me...

    That's not to brag about but to
    really understand how things work....

    OK:-

    So the main key here is how things
    really work, and how i made it work...

    The secret key to success is consistency...

    If you can have a clear strategy that you will
    do all you need to do is be consistence and
    work your strategy.....

    JUST DON'T GIVE UP....

    Many fail because they try a strategy
    for few months and think it just don't
    work....

    The truth is that every one want a strategy
    that soon as they hit the button and want to
    start seeing traffic and sales on day 1....

    SORRY TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IT
    JUST DON'T WORK THAT WAY!!!!

    Just get few strategy and be consistence....

    Facebook has work so well for me as well
    as Pinterest...

    But what really goes for me is Live
    broadcasting like BLAB and Periscope....

    It took me over 6 month to really start
    seeing results but i just kept it going...

    Hope that made sense and some one
    really can Learn from this...

    Thank you and GOOD LUCK...

    First off.. what didn't work/
    Writing a bunch of spammy websites on topics I didn't know or care about to hopefully get big time commissions from Google. Total waste of time for me.. 6 months.. $38 income. LOL.. and they don't even payout till you hit $100.
    I started this just before Panda happened and everything died just as things were moving forward.

    What does work, and still currently does.

    After that disaster, I revised my focus to Affiliate Marketing with products I use and love, and some top tier programs that have a wide range of commission levels, even up in to the thousands.

    Once I made that shift I went from virtually nothing to a consistent 6 figures.. took about a year to get there.

      Facebook is best so far because FB can drive lot's of traffic and sells.

    Honesty and hard work always work for me

    If you're wondering about which markets or strategies, I personally love affiliate marketing and selling my own products or services.

    There are so many ways to make money online you just need to work hard, and never give up.

      Honesty and hard work always work for me .
      This doesn't work for me. I could work hard day and night but if I don't work on areas that actually move me forward in IM, then I am wasting my time.

      Hard work is one thing. Working smarter has a greater meaning.

      Work on areas that are already getting you results like traffic, leads and sales.

      In other words...expand on what is already working.

      How can you even do that with CraigsList when they prevent you from adding more than three ads every 24 hours? And haven't they defeated systems designed to get around that?

    Pretty much the opposite of what every blogger has ever stood for...and guess what? It works! Try it sometime, you'll be amazed how well it works.

    Hello microhappiness,
    I started with affiliate marketing. (which is a good place for most beginners to start)
    I keep doing affiliate marketing, however in the past few years I've advanced in product creation which in the long run is more profitable.

    What works for me is trading (currencies)
    for fast active income and eBay Arbitrage
    (Amazon) passive income primarily (do the
    work once and money comes in daily)

    Freelance writing and selling my own
    products and courses are a close second
    as I get time.

    The trick to it all is consistency. First,
    I do a lot of research to see what the
    earning potential is, make a plan. Take
    action.
