Make Money

If you want to make mone y from home online you can. You just need to decide which way you want to do it. There are many ways to make money on line, none of which are easy. I know, you see all kinds of hyped up money making schemes that promise thousands a day, but you will find that most of these are scams.

Before you spend your hard earned money online do your due diligence.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

Survey Savvy

When I first decided I wanted to make moneey from home online I thought surveys would be a safe way to do it. Of course, I've found out since then that survey scams are alive and well on the internet. There are some legitimate survey sites that pay, but it takes too much time to find them. You have to weed through the bad. The worst part is when you do this you find out that they make you jump through hoops to see if you qualify. More time wasted! There are tips and tricks to qualify for surveys I learned what they were from a friend, but I opted not to do it. It's definitely dishonest, you have to tell too many lies. The one thing I will tell you is that if they ask for money, DON'T do it!

What you're paying for is a list of survey sites that you can find free in forums. If you want legitimate survey sites go to forums and check their message boards and you will find them.
Step 2

GPT

The next place I went to make moneey from home online is gpt(get paid to)sites like Cashcrate and Treasure Trooper. They have a muliti-level paying scale and have a referral system. The most money is in the referrals, but you have to advertise your referral link by way of forums, blogs, sites etc. You can do their small paying surveys and trial offers and make very little for time invested. I also found there are many gpt scam sites just like the surveys so you have to weed through or find out in forums what's what.

You can make moneey from home online with either one of these sites, but not really large amounts. And it will take some time just like all the others. No matter what type of online money making business you pursue it takes time, so patience is needed.
Step 3

Blog

My third one I prefer and still do and that is blogging combined with affiliate marketing. It took me a while to get going; it's not easy if you're techie challenged like me. I started out with a Blogger blog since it's so simple that even I can do it. The first way I monetized my blog is with adsense and then signed up with Amazon and Ebay to be an affiliate.

Then I moved on to Wordpress blogs which require more tech knowledge to set up. I joined the Niche Blogger to do this, because I knew I couldn't do it on my own. It was a good decision because having a mentor/coach saves tons of time and helps speed up progress.
Step 4

Freelance Writer

The last way I make moneey from home online is by writing. In particular, writing articles for Associated Content and Ehow. I have made some money writing ads for advertisers and bloggers who don't want to write their own posts. There's always bloggers and affiliate marketers who will hire ghost writers, the problem is you have to get connections. If you're not careful you can get a bad connection and not get paid for your work. This is something you have to find out on your own with research.

The Warrior Forum has a separate forum you can advertise your skill as a writer, web designer, graphic artist etc. However, I will suggest that you become a member for a while and get to know people before you write articles for them to make sure you will get paid.

There are many ways to make money on line from home, but these are the ones that I have done and do now. I don't want to write about something I have no knowledge of and send you on a wild goose chase. The bottom line is do the research and you will find what's best for you.
