Learn how to work from home legitimately.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Internet connection
  • A will to work
  • Some jobs require inexpensive phone accessories or a second line.
  1. Step 1
    We All Like to Talk, Don't We?
    We All Like to Talk, Don't We?

    One of the newest ways to make money online is with SheToldMe.com you can sign up here http://shetoldme.com/referral/73686adc SheToldMe is just like Digg but you are paid for submitting stories (yours and any other story). You can submit your eHow articles, a recipe, or a top news story you found on the internet today. You make money with the Google Adsense ads so make sure you have an account with Google Adsense. You will also make money from the Google Adsense ads that are placed on stories submitted by people you refer.

  2. Step 2

    Don't know much about monetizing your website(make money with your website)? Get a Site Build It! website. They basically hold your hand through the process even if you are not sure what kind of website to build they will help. Here's the link for a video. Keep an open mind and watch it till the end as in my opinion the last parts are the most exciting. The video is about 28 minutes long but it goes fast and you can pause it if needed. http://videotour.sitesell.com/referme3.html

  3. Step 3
    Type Away
    Type Away

    If you like talking on the phone or entering data on your computer you can go to the following sites and submit your resume.
    www.onss.com
    www.speak-write.com
    www.workingsol.com
    www.westathome.com
    www.alpineaccess.com
    www.liveops.com (they charge a fee but are legit)
    www.accountemps.com

  4. Step 4
    What's Your Cup of Tea
    What's Your Cup of Tea

    You can bid on jobs if you have experience in a certain area at www.ifreelance.com, www.odesk.com, and www.elance.com.

  5. Step 5

    You can always start you own business, checkout these web sites for ideas: www.wahm.com (look in the message boards too), www.bizymoms.com, www.bizyletters.com, www.drlaura.com (look under Stay at home tab on the left), www.homebasedworkingmoms.com, www.mompreneursonline.com

  6. Step 6

    eHow is also a good way to add to the many streams of income you can try. You don't have to be an excellent writer or write on an elaborate topic. Read my article listed below in the resource section to learn how to optimize your eHow articles to make the most money out of them. If you like eHow you will also like

  7. Step 7

    You don't need money to publish your own book anymore. There are so many different companies you can find that will help you publish a book. Start with www.lulu.com.

  8. Step 8

    Are you good with words, graphics, or making up ingenious quotes? Then maybe making your own T-shirts, mugs, or other products with sayings and/or graphics are your thing. Check out www.cafepress.com.

  9. Step 9

    You can sell your own photographs whether you are an amateur or professional. Read my article about this for more information http://www.ehow.com/how_2320989_paid-photos.html

  10. Step 10

    Become a guide. A guide is someone who is recognized as an expert in their field and loves to educate others. Some websites you can apply to be a guide are:
    http://beaguide.about.com
    www.chacha.com (please enter my email as the person who referred you to Chacha- kimmysweb@yahoo.com-THANKS!)

  11. Step 11

    If you like video and computers you can start your own home video studio. You don't really need any experience, just a willingness to learn. Try www.homevideostudio.com

  12. Step 12

    There are also many survey sites. A few good ones that have paid me are www.acop.com, www.surveyspot.com and www.testspin.com. If anyone knows of anymore good survey websites please leave it in the comments section and I will add them.

  13. Step 13

    Get paid to give reveiws on anything from cars to computers to books at www.epinions.com.

  14. Step 14

    Review products by writing about them on your blog. Sign up at www.reviewme.com.

  15. Step 15

    Start a discussion on www.mylot.com and get paid for every post, every response, and for every person you refer.

  16. Step 16

    You can write a blog (www.blogger.com is a good start)and post affiliate banners on your site to earn money. You can sell homemade items on your site. You can also earn money for writing good content that people like to read and once you are getting 1000 or more hits per day advertisers will call you to advertise. You need to search the internet for "learn how to start a blog" and take the time to learn all you can. Get an Adsense account with Google. When people click on ads on your site you get paid. Sign up for affiliate links at www.cj.com. Checkout http://ohfortheloveofbob.blogspot.com/ to see what a Blog can look like.
