  • Hi there,

    Writing is probably the best way to make money online with zero investment.

    Get an adsense or amazon account with a free blog such as wordpress or blogger. Write content with a bit of keyword research from the google keyword tool.

    Build backlinks to your articles.

    OR

    Goto Fivver and offer your writing services. To get started with testimonials, try offer more than others. For example offer to write 600 or 700 words instead of the usual 400.

    Once you have some capital, I would recommend you get your own hosting and domain if your really serious about making internet money!

    Good Luck!

      Anything :confused:
  • Try fiverr.com. It's free and easy to use .
    It's quite unsatisfactory to write 700 words article for $3.92($1 to fiverr and $0.08 to paypal) but for a beginner it's a good start. After you have made the training and the ability to socialize with your clients, you can use the money to open a service on warrior forum (warriors for hire section ). Also you can try Odesk or Elance !
    After you made a website for adsense or amazon you can sell it for a great price ( 8-12 x monthly income )

  • As a writer myself, I would recommend being a content writer as a free way of making money. As long as you are skilled in language, you will do well! However, be warned that there is A LOT of competition in this field, and you have to be a great writer, and also have knowledge of the components needed to make great articles, namely SEO.

    Good luck!

  • a quick way is to become a free affilate say click bank
    and post some free ads on free ads forums, free boards
  • If you want typing jobs work on captcha or If you know very well about blogging try ad-sense. Both of them are very genuine and make handsome income.
  • offering services is the key
  • As mentioned above, write articles, press releases promoting your blog which you have monetized is a great way.

    One other is to use FaceBook. There are numerous ways to make money for free there.

  • If there was a "Free" way to earn money, everyone would have been a millionaire today.

    To earn money, you need to work hard, you need to have something unique, something different than the others. You need to look within yourself and see what you can the best which others cannot, and how you can utilize that skill to generate money.

    Good Luck.

    • Forget fiddly little $5 gigs!!!!!



      Choose a topic that you know about.

      Set up a one page Blogspot site (free) and promote an exclusive membership site where clients receive an informative article each week or month.

      Charge at least $9.99 per month.

      When you get your first 2 orders invest the money into Aweber or other autoresponder and use that to send out the articles to all future customers.

      If you have 100 customers each paying you $9.99 per month you will be receiving approx. $1000 each month....EVERY month.

  • Probably paid surveys, i've done actual surveys or product testing for companies and it pays well when it does. The only thing is they only come so often and its not a steady income.
  • In fiverr you can get good money with low work ..
  • You could become a virtual assistant on guru.com or elance.com. You can set the price of what you will charge for the services you offer. Or if you need money super fast, try doing some decluttering and sell some stuff on eBay. Can't remember if you need to pay up front or not on eBay so forgive me if I'm wrong on that one.
  • 1. Products around your house

    You can make money online without spending dime. To do it, you have to offer products that you already own. The product can be listed on Craigs list at no cost to you. Chances are you probably have some things laying arround you house that is of no value to you. Guess what? it may be of value to someone else so get it listed on craigs list. You may have other items that you value as well don't mind selling. this will get you even more money since it has a higher value.

    2. Services for things you're good at

    Do a quick assessment of any skills you may have and you'll be able to offer those skills as services for cash. You can do it at places like fiverr. Again there's no cost to list those services and if your service in high demand, you'll make money.

    Once you use the two methods mentioned above and begin to make some money, you can invest in yourself and get into some low investment high returns business models.
    Good luck and I wish you all the best.

  • writing i guess would be a good way to start off...only problem is that the money usually comes in slow at 1st...if you are good at any thing online you can also try freelancing..
  • Hi:

    Can sell your service ie: web design or writing articles on fiverr, ebay

    Starting a blog is the best way to start making money without any investment...

  • All the guys and girls explained several different ways of earning easy and fast money to you, but I believe all these ways are temporary and there is no future for you if you are not good at writing, because most of the people above talked about writing articles.

    Yes...I agree that the best and the fastest way to earn money is offering your skills at several freelance websites at once, but what if you are not good at anything and all you know is how to socialize over the internet?

    I believe I have a more permanent solution for your problem...It may take a while to get the hang of it, but once you are in it you will be earning a good deal of GREEN's.

    You can start your online business with $2 to $10 a month.

    Get a domain name and domain registered with a cheap hosting service.

    NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY OF DOMAIN SERVICES, but I believe that cpwebhosting.com would do the trick for you as they are offering real cheap hosting plans.

    Become an affiliate to a white label website, if you are good with internet marketing, which includes SEO, blogging and social network promotions and if you do not know any thing about internet marketing but have a large social network then white label e-cards website is the best bet for you.

    Once again 'NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY OF THE WEBSITES', but I believe if I could help you it would be a payback for me, as I was once in your situation and someone over the internet helped me out of it.

    You can visit yourfunpunch.com, a white label e-cards website, who are offering free website and free e-cards to their affiliates.

    getting registered with the website is really easy and they set-up your website for you, so you don't have to do a single thing.

    Just promote your website on social networks and attract users to your website and for that yourfunpunch website will share 50% of the revenue you generate for them through your website.

    IF YOU ARE REALLY IN NEED, THIS COULD BE THE BEST BET FOR YOU.

  • All type of services can be free:

    - Writing
    - Making Videos
    - manual backlinks
    - Social bookmarking
    - Graphics
  • There are different ways to make money online, as you have stated, without investing some money. My suggestion, article writing will one of the best way to earn some money. You just need to conduct some research on the topic/s that your client or employer will give you.
    If you are into writing, then this will not be a problem since you love what you do, enjoying your work will always results to a positive outputs.
    You can check odesk, elance, freelancer, as they are some of the few sites that hires writers to provide them original or re-written articles, with words ranging from 150 - 1000 per article. Totally depends on the client that you will submit your interest.
    Always remember to focus on a single task or work at a time, it's very difficult to serve to masters at the same time.
  • There's no true "free" way to make money... You either use your time (and energy) or your money. And we know time = money.

    If you want to use your time (and energy) to make money, offer a service. Fellow warriors here have suggested multiple ways for you to do that... writing, copywriting, ecover design, website design etc.
  • with open of crowdsourcing buyers or most benefited. Sellers still in a bad state to have some good money.

    Until you become expert in that you cant make money
  • try eBay go to a store offer to do free marketing. take photos samples of products, advertise on eBay. When you start getting clients stock up on stuff that really sells take it from there. You will pay rent at eBay
  • Create a niche blog on blogger, write your content, add some relevant amazon links, then sign up for the free trial on build my rank to get 10 free high quality backlinks. This will get you started. From there you can start to experiment and learn how to optimise your site and build traffic and revenue.
  • Nothing is free. You either spend real money or real time (which you trade for money).

    But I agree with a lot of the others here -- offer a service. Put out a classified on Craigslist, Fiverr, and on your free blog. Once you make a bit of money, reinvest some of it in putting up an ad right here on the WF.
  • i think you can plan for the long term. Build a permanent blog on blogger for a well targeted niche or micro niche, and build it out, max out all the free linkbuilding options, earn some $ with affiliate, amazon or adsense. Invest that into domain and self hosting and import all your good content into your new site, and build long and deep.

      I tried fiverr initially, I posted services and got 3 gigs sold. In 3to30, two of five services as sold three times. But i am expecting more profit from these sites. To make more money i tried some freelancing sites like greatlance, elance.

  • Freelancing is the best way to make money online without any investment for a beginner.There are still some jobs that does not require any additional skills to do like data entry,web research etc. and you can get those from freelancing marketplaces like elance,scriptlance,freelancer etc.
    • [1] reply

    • I would say that additional skills is required for all kind of jobs. Its like added flavour, shows your work more professional. There are many reliable sites to start online works without investments like 3to30.com, but you need skills to overcome competition.
  • Here's about the easiest way that I know of to make money, however I fear it may get me frowned upon for some kind of self promotion whist it is NOT.

    Affiliate wish some site that offers "traffic building" or some kind. and grab one or more of their 468 x 60 banners and your affiliate link.
    Once you have signed up, go to free-internet-advertising.co.uk (the possible infringement as I own it). Then make a free page. Once you have made your page promoting anything you like, you can UPLOAD your banners to the free banner advertising, you get 1,000,000 (1 million) free banner impressions across all of the advertising pages.

    Even at a 1% click thru and rate (10,000 clicks) and of that a 1% purchase rate, you have still made an easy 100 sales of whatever product you are promoting

    The reason why I said to promote something to do with "Traffic" is because 99% of the users of free internet advertising are placing ads to increase traffic, therefore your banner about increasing traffic to websites will of course stand the best chance of click through rate.

    If you take the time to upload ALL of the 468 x 60 banners each of them will receive 1000,000 impressions, so 50 banners for example will give you 50,000,000 impressions and in theory that should ensure you receive 500,000 clicks and ultimately 5,000 sales.

    Sorry that was a little long winded but if you take a moment to read it you will see it makes sense

    • If you like writing, you may try go on Brad Callen new product iwriter.com, you will get pay up to $4 every article you write.
  • I would check out the warriors for hire section and apply for some jobs. Also check out digital point forums. There are always people looking for writers and other freelancers there. Do this until you have some capital behind you then offer your service on the WF
  • You can get paid to blog.
  • Join a freelance site and offer a good service to those after work.

    That will bring you in work again and again, as I know big contractors these days only hire good outsources with good ratings. Being a repeat customer for these big wigs can be rewarding for you.

    Or you could try fiverr... I mean how many posts are there in here on how to be successful with fiverr type gigs.
  • It may not be the answer you want, but the single quickest way to make money online with no investment is to offer a service. I'm sure you're looking for a site or affiliate program, but that's the truth (in my opinion).

    Find something valuable you can do that people are unable or unwilling to do themselves. Present yourself as the solution to a problem, and you'll make money. Then invest that money in hosting, domain names, advertising, etc.

    You can get started with little money, but it's hard to start out with NO money. At least a domain & hosting is helpful
  • Yes , I think to start making money as a newbie you should offer services you can do :ex writing ,seo ,design ...
  • do bum marketing.. write articles then point it to your free blog site with promotions/offers

    • Its easy for techies to earn money without investing. Simple tasks like installing WP plugins fetch good money. And if you do not have any technical skills,you can end up writing keyword based content for clients.There are several freelancing sites where you can search for projects.
    • Post good and unique articles to active article directories like ezinearticles,goarticles and articlebase etc.

      Have a good heading,a good heading requires a good and thorough keyword research.You can use keyword research tool for free using google keyword tool.Get those keywords with low competition roughly around 80k searches per month and high searches that exceed 5000 searches per month.

      A good keyword researcher do not just do it for once,they do it thoroughly and add in new strong keywords everytime.The more effective keywords you have in your article,the more profitable your business will be.

      Make your article user friendly and do not try to cramp everything together.

      Hope that helps.

    • You can earn money through your skills. First List out the skills you have. And think whether you can do those works. Figure out the site which as all types of services.
  • Set a free site using weebly like what I am doing now. You can do some freelance and offer your services to the people in this forum like writing.
  • In all honesty, almost every form of making money is free. Anyone can also just write a few articles to get the money they need to begin MAKING money from the internet. You can do a few odd jobs and start making your dream cash simply from that.

    The real trait you need in order to make money is not capital, but competence and patience instead.

    • That is a good attitude and perspective!
  • Here is one simple method I wrote about a few days ago. You can make money with it, if you are not afraid of going out there and talking to people face to face. It involves using GooglePlaces and basically you finding businesses not listed on it and offer the owners to do that for them for a few hundred dollars:

    Make Money with Google Places- Step by Step Guide
  • Your best bet would be to try out article writing. There are many sites where you can go to write articles for money:

    iwriter.com
    elance.com
    scriptlance.com
  • You can start out doing affiliate marketing via article writing by using sites like Squidoo or Hubpages. The sites rank high in the search engines, but once you publish the content to a free site, you no longer have control over it. Plus, free sites put limits on the niches and products they allow you to write about.

    The thing about making money online is that there are a number of legit ways to do it, but regardless of the method you choose, you're going to need to purchase a program of some kind to learn how to do stuff. Even if a method is free, you are going to be able to learn the ins and outs of it without training. It's kind of like going to school.

    Good luck,

      you could try these methods:

      eBay - Start selling your unwanted stuff on ebay.

      Google Adsense - Create a website and add google adsense to make money. Make yur website easy to navigate.

      Cafe Press - Create a Cafe Press store and design items to sell through it. You can create mugs, tee shirts, calendars and much more. You will not be charged any up front fees for anything.

      Xomba and Triond - If you like to write about anything at all, sign up with Triond or Xomba. These sites pay on an ad-click basis.

  • You could try the likes of Fiverr, and offer services you would be willing to do for $5, it's a great idea to also check out what other folks are offering, so you can get some ideas
  • You can't make money for "free", you always need to invest something, even your time to learn copywriting, graphic or marketing. If you don't want to spend money you need to spend yours other resources. But to make perfect business you need to invest money and time. I suggest you to learn and become a specialist in some niche like design or programming.

    • Adbash,

      You are right and wrong. You can not make lots of money with nothing invested. However, you can make a little bit of money, which if reinvested can help a person become a niche specialist.

  • you can make money as an affiliate by simply putting up youtube videos and leaving your affiliate link in the description box.
  • Actually there are a lot of ways to do that.
    Use free blogspot blog as the website and you can monetize with a lot of ways such as adsense, affiliate marketing (clickbank, click2sell, paydotcom, plimus, amazon), infolinks and more.
    You can also make money from fiverr for doing simple things like "I'm gonna write anything you want at my DD cleavage for $5".

    Some ideas:
    - article writing for revenue sharing sites (google infobarrel - it's the best one out there IMO)
    - freelancing sites (fiverr, elance, odesk, etc.)
    - offer services (graphic design, copywriting, etc.)
  • You should Google "Bum Marketing"

    ...oh wait, here ya go: bum marketing - Google Search
    • [1] reply
    • Yea if you want money right now the best thing is to offer a service like writing or a fiverr gig.

      Bum marketing is also a solution, free blogs works also .. but you will need traffic.

      Best thing is really to focus on a service to build yourself some money so you can start with the real things.

      If you wanna write you could also try squidoo, some people also pointed out iwriter I have checked it, it looks solid.
  • Ever heard of Swag Bucks?
  • Running an affiliate site for big companies (like Amazon). You can check the affiliate section on this forum to find some really good offers.

    Hosting and domain name are the only investements.
  • Offering service in what you are good
  • As a writer and publisher, I would have to agree with Yoong ...

    What I'd recommend is writing a short eBook. It doesn't have to be long. I recently completed one that is only a little over 40 pages. So, even your initial time investment would be minimal.

    Write about something you care about, feel passionate about, have knowledge on and that others would be interested in.

    I've been writing and publishing since I was a teenager and I'm now fifty, so I know for a fact that money can be made doing this.

    • Yes this is also a very good way to earn money. If you know little about link building service, then you can offer this kind of services to clients.
  • you need to write for others..that is the easiest...but you need some time to research the topic..
  • Try advertising on Craigslist and other free classified sites. But don't spam them, they hate that.

    Google free Craigslist templates and you can find a template that you can modify to be your ad. Or you could just do the ad like everyone else on Craigslist does.
  • Affiliate marketing has long been the least expensive way to make money online. Not much different than the "outside salesman", typically hired by the brick-and-mortar firms to sell their products, and be paid on a commission only basis.

    Many have suggested offering your services, and those are certainly valid - but with most of those you are simply trading time for money. Very much like the dreaded J.O.B.

    If you can sell... find products that are easy to move, offer good commissions, and pay you with as little hassle as possible. Anything that offers recurring commissions will multiply the return, by paying you over and over, for a single sale.

    Looking for products to sell? Have a look at iDavi - The Digital Product Marketplace
    They currently list about 2600 products that you can sell, almost all of them offer 50%+ commission rate, commissions are paid instantly into your Paypal account (it lists only RAP-driven products), and they provide cross-selling and back end selling to your customers with your affiliate link, after you land a customer.

    There's no cost to join iDavi - The Digital Product Marketplace and your promotional efforts are automatically multiplied via the back end and cross-selling efforts of the service. The 'register' link at the bottom of the page will get you in.
  • The biggest way of generating online income is through data entry. And do any online business affiliate marketer needs to invite visitors to a satisfied web page where they can buy a product that meets their needs.

  • You can find many freelance job from Internet. OR if you have any writing skill you can write article, make any web 2.0 site and apply adsense there. Adsense is the best way to make money quite easily.
  • It seems like I agree with many of the others. Offering services is the best way to go without an investment. Whether it be writing, designing blogs, backlinking, VA services, etc. There are many websites out there where you can join for free and look for jobs. Such as Freelancer, Elance, Odesk, Guru, etc.
  • There are several service sites you could join to make money. Fiverr is very popular, there is also odesk and freelance I believe. Fiverr by far though outshines them all since you can literally get paid to do just about anything, even silly things as well.
  • There is few sites what i use

    Sharecash
    Leadbolt
    Clickbank

    You can get money from them without investment , i use traffic from youtube , and i make bloggs , and thats it , Free traffic, free money
  • Well, number one with a bullet is FIVerr. It is easy to get some gigs. Also, you can go to clone sites and find work, but they do not have as much traffic as FIVerr.
  • Go on your local classifieds, find stuff people are giving away for free, and sell it for profit on the same site, or on a different classifieds
  • There are also opportunities in real estate like "bird-dogging" to which can net you $5000+ without any monetary investment. You just need to find a really good deal on a property

    • Write a complete list of your skills. Pick one and design a service around it. Services can be a lot easier to sell than products. For example, if you know how to use eBay, you could sell stuff online for other people and take a percentage. You won't even need get your hands dirty. Just put posters up in your town describing a service and put in on Craigslist as well.

      Search Google for every recipe known to mankind that uses canned spam (The meat variety, not unwanted email). Compile these recipes into a master volume and sell it. Do the same thing with ground beef, soup, macaroni, ad infinitum. In a bad economy, millions of folks are looking to cut corners.
  • Put articles on adsense sharing sites...
    or get a extra job and save some money to start .
  • I started earning online through freelancing jobs(without any investments). Later i shifted to micro services- article writing, Link building services in 3to30.com. If you have any idea of selling small stuffs have a visit here.
  • Do a free niche blog, write an ebook about niche relating stuff (3,4 pages is enough, everyone can do that), offer it on a popup when a visitor arives on your web in exchange for his email. You will have new subscribers every single day counting like crazy. When you have about 500 subscribers, then start with jv swaps and grow your list. Then enjoy easy money for the rest of your life
  • Can you make money online with zero investment?

    Of course you can... That's how I started - did it for the first 6 months.

    But trust me; it's hell of a lot easier to make money with money. So if/when you do make money - make sure to reinvest it as it'll make your life a hell of a lot easier.

  • Just become affiliate on Clickbank.
