Looking for ways to earn money from home can so easy yet so difficult. Many people suggest doing online sales. However, you may not want to take care of a website along with everything else on your plate. It really is possible to make money online without a website. Whether you are looking for a primary or second income, you will be surprised at the number of jobs you will find by surfing the Internet.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

    Know Your Interests

  1. Step 1

    Surf the Internet using keywords such as "virtual," "work online" and "telecommuting." More keyword ideas will come to you as you get into your search.

  2. Step 2

    Decide what you enjoy doing and think of how it can be accomplished online (if possible). For data entry and other administrative jobs, try looking at Workaholics 4 Hire's website. They not only have a list of jobs but great advice on making telecommuting work for you. Their newsletters are concise and full of tips—sign up is free. You can even use eHow to make money online for sharing your knowledge.

  3. Step 3

    Provide the world with your opinion. You will find very enticing offers from paid survey companies all over the Internet. Many of these sites will pay you to take their surveys and others will make it worth your while in free merchandise. The Survey Pro website gives a list of many paid survey sites…and they are all free to join.

  4. Get Going

  5. Step 1

    Explore the Internet. Use keywords such as "work online" and "virtual." Decide if what you find is for you or a "rip-off." Some sites charge fees, take your money, and give nothing but useless information in return. They call this a business of your own.

  6. Step 2

    Enter information online at many sites for cash. Focus groups and survey sites often pay for your opinion. Fairy Tale Treasure website pays for clicks and has little extras that pay small amounts of money as you go along. It's possible to make a decent amount of money—not a salary but not bad.

  7. Step 3

    Sell on eBay. If you have a knack for finding bargains at estate sales and thrift stores, try turning around and selling them on eBay. This auction site reaches around the world. As with anything, good record keeping is crucial to keep up your profit margin.

  8. Step 4

    Join PayPal. It is another important site, especially to anyone selling on eBay. Joining PayPal is free, and your customers pay money into your account (like a bank) for the things they buy from you.

  9. Combine Work and Fun

  10. Step 1

    Find a suitable freelance project on most job sites. These projects range from virtual computer repair assignments to writing jobs to sales. Another great idea is to take on customer service and appointment setting jobs that can be done from the comfort of your own home.

  11. Step 2

    Shop till you drop—secretly that is. Companies will pay for mystery shoppers to report back to them via online reporting on the quality of customer service people receive at retail shops, restaurants, even apartment complexes. You will also be reimbursed if they ask you to make a purchase. Just type "mystery shopping" into your search engine to find several companies.

  12. Step 3

    Relax. This will work for you, and as you can see, there are many options to choose from. Now, start searching for that perfect job.

Tips & Warnings
  • Keep a window open in your word processing program while using the Internet. This way, you can copy and add each interesting link to a master list and work on it later.
  • Never pay money to be hired or buy a list of companies who hire online workers. The companies that require a fee to send you information are only working for themselves. They get your money, and you will receive some useless information about doing the same thing to other people. Having said that, the one site that could be worth a fee is Tjobs. The small yearly fee they charge does not gouge the purchaser and you will receive a wealth of information.
  • If a company says you will make tons of money taking surveys, you have to ask yourself—WHY? If they offer too much, they might be trying to get something from you instead of helping you to make money.
  • Maybe a job offer or advertisement sounds too good to be true. If so, it probably is. Also, if they only talk about how much money you will make at the job or business and do not say what you will be working at, this is a tip off that it could be more of a racket than an opportunity.
