Ways to earn money on line

Sunday 3 October 2010 at 01:05
Well this is the ongoing topic of so many blogs, thought I'd give my take.
 I've been trying to make some money via the web for about 2 years now. I use or have used survey sites, adsense, traffic referal sites, ptc,  independent ad companies, social networks and ebay.
 So far I've not made enough money even to replace my mouse =/
 So what am I doing wrong? I dunno, I guess I haven't tried everything out there yet (there are still article writing sites and others to explore). But the thing that gets me is that it is possible to earn some decent money on  line but there are so many scams and opps that pay less than 1p an hour that it's almost impossible to find the legit ones. Ah well :)
Any tips would be cool :)

    Hello Dear,
    I'm facing some critical condition, and I need some help or suggestions from around the world. your 4-5 Minutes on my site could give me a right direction, It's a humble request to you that plz visit my blog http://pleasehelpmylove.blogspot.com and tell me what you think?can you help me somehow?
    you can also help me by adding my blog link to your site , if you have one. Plzzz at least visit and pray for me. Thanks!
    If you can highlight me anyhow it would be great, coz than ppl often help only for fame or name. If you can write an article on me than ppl will know me and they can help me. Don't think that I'm stupid. I'm just trying to get my love...Thanks

  2. Hmmm... it's not easy to make money online. If you want to earn a little more from your blog, here's three quick (easy to implement) suggestions:

    1 - review your sidebar. Get rid of anything that doesn't earn or bring in visitors.

    2 - move Adsense, CMF and PW above the fold. Switch PW to auto-approve and reduce your price on CMF.

    3 - it doesn't look like you have many visitors from Google. Use post titles you think people will search for and comment on blogs that have CommentLuv installed.


    Alternatively start a webshop or sell a service online. You'll get a much better return for the effort you put in. :-)

    I agree with John that the best way is probably to have Google bring traffic to your blog.

    In terms of Adsense, I found that it is best to create blog that have higher value keywords. (Adwords allow you to get a sense how much keywords are worth). Base on that pick specific niche topics to write about where a click will generate you a couple dollars instead of a couple cents.

    I don't spam people. I came across your site through linkreferral but I can't review it as I've used up my reviews for the day. So I put you as a favorite. Back to spam--here's what I'm doing for money. It's open to you people (haha) that don't live here in the US also. Really truly I'm not a car salesman! Terry

    try freelance.. get into writing stuffs if you have time for stringing words together, or why not domain naming?

    A couple of years ago, I made a very comfortable living on eBay until the changes started happening in the economy.

    I believe that selling merchandise or services online is the way to go, but it is finding the thing that people are willing to spend their extra money on. I sold jewelry, which is a luxury that most people can't afford now. The secret is finding that niche . . . which is what I'm trying to find.

    In the meantime, I love to write and like you, making an attempt to monetize my blogs.

    Don't give up!!! That is my best advise :-)

    Making money online is really a struggle, I am not a marketer but I afford to buy a new car even if it is installment, my advice to you is master a skill may it be in graphics or article and then go to odesk or elance.com they are hiring a lot of freelancers there, odesk is where I get money to buy my mazda 3, no joke, my biggest earning is 2100 dollars a month it is pretty decent because before I only earn 250 dollars a month, just give it a try nothing to lose

    Zero Dramas
