29 replies
Hey Warriors,

I'm interested to know how everyone is making money online? What types of niches are you banking in. I'm just looking for another income stream to add to my income and maybe I could use some of your ideas. You don't have to share if you don't want to but I'll share mine.

-Membership sites
-Affiliate marketing (selling others products for a commission)
-CPA

Niches I attack - make money online, weight loss, self help just to name a few.

        Great concept. There are SO MANY other niches to make a killing from that doesn't have to do with making money. True fact.

        LOL that was funny

    It sounds like you know a lot about affiliate marketing. I'd suggest looking into offline marketing. I enjoy affiliate marketing, but feel so much better now that I have offline businesses I work with. Affiliate marketing can be up and down sometimes, and developing relationships with businesses helps me feel more stable about receiving monthly checks.

    I do this full-time, and like that consistency. It has allowed me to grow a business that is local based too (at least initially). I'm the "go to guy" for "google stuff" in my town

      Man that is freakin awesome! I'm going to brainstorm and take your advice. Affiliate marketing is up and down your right. One day I'll make $2000 and the next I'll make $300 or $400 so definitely up and down. Never thought of an offline business. Thanks

        Im making income with niche websites selling affiliate products as well as my own products. I also have an old EBAY business where I earn $8,000 to $9,000 every month. I have my hands full to say the least.

          An extra 8k-9k from eBay is awesome! I'm going to look into this as well for an additional income. Great tips! Thanks!

      Interesting. I thought about getting into Forex as it's a huge market. Maybe I'll test out a few campaigns as an affiliate.

    I am trying to NOT make money online. I could probably make enough to pay enough taxes to allow the US Government to buy an extra Drone or two... But I really have nothing against civilians, so... have to watch that.

      It adds NO value...they just want to up their post count...But obviously they don't have any knowledge in this particular thread so they felt they had to copy somebody else. Makes for a GREAT reputation here!

        Who the hell has to time to scour the forum looking to copy posts? I was just asking a question for ideas looking for an additional income. I wasn't even aware someone already posted this question.

    I make my money online by doing Surveys with (surveyhead.com), PTC (paid to click) and I work as an independent contractor (odesk.com). I'm not making the big bucks yet. But I'm online everyday looking for more opportunities.

      How is it you have time to sit down and do these surveys? Don't most of them only give you points and not money? However, thanks for the heads up on Odesk.com, and I too do the PTC sites. Yes you are right, it's not a lot, but it's something. Can you share with me the PTC sites you are in and your survey sites? You can send me a PM if you want.

        I make my money from rendering a service that I know there are not many people offering that online. I help folks who want to set up a basic US bank account to receive their online earnings faster from the US companies. No waiting for checks, they take their money via direct deposits and then draw cash at ATMs in their country via the Visa card attached to
        account.

        This has been my best effort / venture online.

          Not long in this game but so far most of my money has come from selling digital products of my own creation, as well as my services on Elance and Fiverr.

          Affiliate stuff has been a VERY slow burner so far.

    I have a writing business and that's how I make money. I am now dwelling into website flipping and trying to get my finger on that.

    But memberships might be the way to go since you get residual income.

    I have been involved in affiliate marketing with Clickbank, primarily promoting 4-5 products, with a few residual commissions coming in as well.

    Honestly, I have gone more into the "offline consulting" arena lately because I needed to get out of the house more, and of course I saw a huge opportunity. Offering web design services, SEO link building, article marketing, press releases, Social media campaigns, PPC management services, etc. are all great ways to make some cash from local businesses.
