1. Make money linking to websites.
Imagine if every time you shared a link you could earn money? Well you can with the AdFly link shortening service.
Whenever somebody clicks on your link they’re shown a quick advert
before they’re taken to the page you linked them to. You can post the
links on your Twitter, Facebook, and anywhere else you usually share
them. It’s a really easy way for anybody to make money online.
2. Get paid to share files.
There’s
plenty of file hosts that allow you to share your things for free, but
they probably don’t pay you each time they are downloaded right? Well
ShareCash & CPALead do. All you need to do is upload your files
& they’ll pay you anywhere between $1 to $20 each time somebody
downloads them.
The catch is that in order for somebody to download it they’ll need
to fill in a really quick survey, but if you’re sharing something that
they want then getting them to do that shouldn’t be a problem.
3. Get paid when somebody leaves your website.
If
you own a website or blog & somebody decides to leave without
buying anything then you’re not going to make any money. However thanks
to CPALead’s exit traffic tool you can even make money from the people that decide to go elsewhere.
4. Get onto the stock market (the easy way).
The
stock market can seem daunting to a newcomer and it can be an easy way
to lose money if you don’t know what you’re doing. However social
investment network sites like eToro
make it a lot easier by allowing you to simply follow the financial
trading activity of other users (preferably ones that seem to be doing
well) & copy them. You can connect with others & discuss
investments allowing you to quickly learn all about the stock market
& discover which stocks are the ones to buy into.
5. Sell your skills.
On website’s like Freelancer
there’s thousands of employers looking to outsource work. Whilst there
are plenty of jobs for web designers & programmers there’s also a
whole load that don’t require any out of the ordinary skills. Providing
you can at least read & write or enter data there’s certainly jobs
on there you’ll be capable of completing. Browse through jobs, bid on
any that tickle your fancy & get paid when you finish them. It
really is easy as it sounds!
6. Create a gig on Fiverr.
Fiverr
is an online marketplace to which you can sign up & offer a service
for $5. The service can be anything you like but obviously the less
time consuming it is for you the better. It doesn’t take long to come up
with an idea since all you need to do is have a quick look through the
site & see what others are offering. The website is full of
potential buyers browsing through to see what people are offering which
means that if your service catches their eye you could begin generating
sales almost instantly.
7. Setup an online franchise style business.
Previously setting up an online business has been something that’s
required you to have a good knowledge & understanding of computing,
but not anymore thanks to the new iPAS2 system
which is basically a business in a box. It provides a wealth of
training videos, access to private coaching & let’s you create your
own franchise style online business. It’s a fantastic system not only
for those experienced with online business but also for those who are
just starting out and looking to set something profitable up online. Read my own review here.
8. Make money using “Get Paid To” sites.
“Get Paid To” sites like Swagbucks
& Qmee will pay you for doing a all sorts of different things such
as shopping, searching, playing games, watching videos, answering
questions, even clicking & a whole load more. With a long list of
offers & prompt payouts sites like these are a great way for anybody
to make money just by carrying out simple tasks online.
9. Make money with HubPages.
HubPages
is a great & fun way for writers & enthusiasts to make money
online. Their system is so easy to use that just about anybody can join
up & create their very own “Hub”. It’s basically your own page on
the web but once it’s published HubPages
showcase it to other readers & you can start getting visitors
almost instantly, your Hub can even get a chance to be featured on the
homepage if it’s really good. You can create as many Hubs as you like
& you can earn money from them by enabling advertisements or
eBay/Amazon listings to display on the page.
10. Get paid to fill in surveys.
If
you’ve got a bit of spare time on your hands then answering paid
surveys online is a great (and rewarding) way to fill it. The surveys
are normally fairly short and sweet & you’ll earn money each time
you complete one. There are a whole load of different networks such as
Global Test Market, Ipsos, Swagbucks & you can sign up to as many as
you like.
11. No risk matched betting.
I’ve
always hated gambling simply because I always seem to lose, but then I
came across this risk-free (and legal) technique that allows you to turn
the tables on the bookmakers and make the most out of their free bets.
How does it work? Well basically you’re backing something to win but
also backing it draw or lose at the same odds meaning you’re matching
your bet and removing the risk of losing. The first time I tried it I
managed to make £15 in 30 minutes.
12. Buy and sell domain names.
A
domain name is basically the address of a website, such as “Google.com”
or “Ebay.co.uk”. Domain names can be worth a lot of money and there’s a
huge market for them which is only ever growing by the day. As an
example Facebook recently bought “FB.com” for a reported 8.5 million
dollars. If you’re lucky you might be able to think of a great domain
that nobodies registered yet which would allow you to purchase it much
cheaper (you can check availability here), or you could buy & sell
existing domains in marketplaces such as Sedo, Godaddy Auctions & Flippa.
13. Get paid to shop online.
By using cashback websites like TopCashBack or Quidco
you can get paid for shopping online. Sites like these work with a
whole load of retailers & when you shop with them rather than going
to the retailers own website they get paid a commission. Being the
generous folks that they are they then give some of that commission back
to you in the form of “cashback”.
14. Create your own blog.
Don’t think that you have to be a tech whiz to get started blogging. With sites like WordPress
it’s actually fairly easy & in just a couple of clicks you could
have your very own blog set up on the web. Blogging is great because not
only is it fun to write about things you enjoy but there’s also quite a
bit of money to be made if your blog starts attracting a lot of
visitors.
15. Become an affiliate.
It’s really easy to get started making money as an affiliate with sites like ShareASale
& it can be very rewarding indeed with some companies willing to
pay over $100 just for 1 successful purchase. As an affiliate you’ll
basically be selling other companies products or services for them &
receiving a commission each time you manage to do so. The companies
will give you a tracking link & instead of sending people directly
to their website via their normal web address you simply send them
through your affiliate link instead. That way they can track the sale
back to you & credit your account.
16. Flip websites.
“Flipping”
websites is were you buy (or build) & sell websites purely to make a
profit. With huge free to join marketplaces like Flippa
it’s really easy to get into & there’s certainly a lot of money to
be made. A lot of the sites can sell for over 5 figures, some of which
are often only relatively new. You can buy established sites in an
attempt to hold them for a while & hope their value will increase or
you can develop websites from scratch in the hope that they’ll interest
buyers & sell for a good profit.
17. Become a Microworker.
Even if you’ve only got a couple of minutes to spare there’s still a way you can earn money & that’s by joining Microworkers.
On Microworkers employers post really small jobs that they need
completing such as taking a screenshot of their website on your computer
or filling in a short sign up form. Tasks pay out around $0.01 to $3
depending on how long they take to complete but each task will tell you
how much it pays & how long it’s expected to take beforehand so that
you can pick and choose your jobs.
18. Make money from YouTube.
YouTube‘s
a great site to begin earning money from since all you need is a video
camera & a bit of imagination. When you upload your videos you can
enable adverts & get paid each time somebody watches them. With over
a billion people visiting YouTube every single month finding viewers
for your videos isn’t all that difficult, and if they’re a hit they
could quickly go viral overnight earning you a nice bit of money!
19. Get paid to search.
Using sites like Qmee
you can actually get paid to search on sites like Google, Yahoo, Bing,
Amazon & eBay. All you need to do is simply install the Qmee app
& search like normal. Qmee will place a few of their own search
results alongside your normal ones & if you decide your interested
in one of the results Qmee have displayed then you can click on it &
collect your reward.
20. Write an eBook.
If
you enjoy writing then publishing your own eBook can be a great way to
earn money. In 2012 eBooks generated more sales than hardcovers &
it’s now estimated that they make up for around a quarter of all book
sales. Websites like Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Kobo
all have their own self publishing services which means that getting
your eBook published isn’t as difficult as you might think, in fact it’s
actually fairly easy.
