When people ask the inevitable question that has come to define our generation of “what do you do” I usually respond “I’m in internet business”. The follow up is always the same, “how can you make money online?”, which when you think about it is almost laughable. The internet is the biggest marketplace there is and hosts some of the largest business giants of our day, or any day for that matter, think Facebook, Google, Amazon.com and so many more. There are literally a million ways to make money online, all you need to do is try. The problem is people nowadays have little faith in what they cannot see, they will gladly get there news, celebrity gossip & social networking needs filled online but when you suggest they write a blog or *gasp* start an online business they shake their collective heads and say “nah, I’m not that good at computers”. Well fella, neither was I, or still am I…. I outsource almost ALL of my internet needs to competent, freelance web-designers, graphics people etc. That leaves me to focus on what I’m (sort of) good at: blogging, marketing & innovating.
So for all you doubters here are 6 EASY ways to make money online. Instead of watching the newest American Idol spend an hour every other day focusing on internet business & you’ll be surprised how fast a nice, fat little passive income stream will sneak up on you.
1. Ebay- this is the “duh” one. Come on people, I know teenagers who make money on eBay. It has the easiest interface ever created and within thirty minutes you can have the basics mastered and list your first item. Its way better than a garage sale, unless your garage sale attract 2 million people a day, and you don’t have to wake up at six a.m. to put signs out. Whether it be a part time thing or a full blown business, eBay can bring in internet income in trickles or torrents- its up to you. Go to www.ebay.com to get started or to www.ebayprincess.com for powerseller secrets & tips to give you a cutting edge in the eBay marketplace.
2. Virtual Property: Flip this Site- buying a domain on the internet is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Check out godaddy.com or 1and1.com to get good rates on domain names, then put up adds on craigslist.com, eBay and others saying your willing to sell your site for blank $$. People that really want that site will be willing to pay it. Be creative, think of catchy domain names that are still not taken. Do a little research on this growing money maker on Google and see how a few minutes a day & a little creativity can yield big profits in the “site flipping” business.
3. Social Networking Sites/Membership Sites- Its all about the niche. What are you good at? What can you do better than most? Capitalize on your knowledge, be it small or great & start up a membership site where people pay a set fee every month to pick your brain & read all the interesting info on that niche that you gather. Just be sure to gather interesting info. Start out with a blog & pack it full of content then slowly switch over… it works for others, it can work for you. Check out Sterling & Jay’s podcast on Internet Business Mastery at www.internet-based-business-mastery.com for all the info you’ll need to get up and started. (Trust me this podcast & site is a gem! & its free!)
Alright I gave you three… the next post will have the last 3… now I’m off to work on my own internet business
Good Luck & get started!
