Online earning

If you get enough time to spend at home after work or a student or housewife you may like to earn online few extra dollars.

When you search online earning sites, you will find hundreds of them giving clues about making $100 a day without doing anything. Beware that 99% of such allurements are frauds. There is nothing like easy money. Read carefully such ads and if they are vague and just want you to sign up without giving satisfying clues about the mechanism, just walk away.

Then there are freelance sites like iFreelance, elance, Gofreelance, Writerlance etc. which give opportunities to freelancers but I advise not to become a paid member in the beginning. You may check craglist which is free. It takes lot of patience to establish yourself as a good writer. If you are not paid in the beginning and write some content you can use it as samples to build your portfolio.

There are also opportunities in blogging. One is to start your own blog and sign up with adsense. Topic of your blog may vary from pets to furniture, home decoration, recipes, journal, gardening, natural therapy – anything that interests you.If you are a photographer and have a good collection, you may start a photo or video blog. You will be paid when people click on ads posted on your blog by google.

If you can write articles, you may sign up with www.associatedcontent.com which is free. They pay something between $3 to $20 if your article is selected.

You may also start a website and publish content which is better option than blog if you know computer. You may place referral ads of companies like amazon.com on your site. If any one buyers stuff through that ad, you earn referral bonus.

If you have anything to sell, you may register on www.ebay.com. Registration is free but you will have to give your details and credit card number to become an affiliate.

Another way of earning online is sign up with www.blogit.com which is a blogging site. Sign up fee is $10 per month. You may write stuff and read others’ blogs. If you write persistently ( on anything including news and politics, journal, photographs, parenting, spirituality, opinion……). There are people who earn from $100 to $1000 on this site. It may not be intelligent stuff. Read others so that in turn you are read.

The site shares $5 out of your 10$ among other writers whom you read and you get share of their contribution when they read you. Again, it takes time to build a loyal readership and enjoyable income.
