In this article I’m going to discuss the top online money earning methods that anyone can do. I have done a fair few of these myself too. Buckle up and get yourself into money making mode!
Online Money Earning Methods
#1 – Ebay – Buying and selling using this clever technique.
When I started out looking to the internet as a means to making a living I began with the online auction site ebay. I was an avid bargain hunter and used to browse car boot sales and charity shops. I combined this hobby with selling things for a profit on ebay. I later learned how to use this tool: bargainchecker.com to unearth misspelled items listed on ebay which get far fewer views than they should.
By sifting through these bargains you can find the ones which are going for much less than their worth. Then, relist them with much better titles, descriptions and pictures to get far more views than a normal listing would. Hey presto, you’ve made a profit! There are several other ways to find bargains on ebay too. Take a look at my article how to start a profitable ebay business for more on this.
#2 – Ebay – Buying in bulk and selling through a single listing.
Here’s another way to use the monster auction site to earn an income. Buy in bulk from wholesalers such as alibaba.com and create a single listing for your item. Sell multiple items through a single listing. To find a suitable product to sell you can browse ebay itself and look for the top selling products for ideas. Choose a category and click on the “buy it now” button at the top of the listings. You can even see how many items have been sold by individual sellers.
#3 Ebay – Join Ebay’s affiliate program and promote their website
Here’s another clever way to earn from ebay. Join their affiliate program and link to their website and various products through a website or blog. We will cover affiliate marketing later on in this article in more depth. You can also join Amazon’s affiliate program and direct website traffic to the site to earn commissions. This brings us to number 4:
#4 Start Your Own Blog –
Blogging can be a great way to earn money online. Ideally start with something you have a passion for and this means you can continue blogging for years to come and build up a following online. When you start getting regular visitors to your blog you can earn from it a couple of ways:
#5 Google’s Adsense Program – Google’s Adsense program lets you place a number of adverts on your website so that when your visitors click on them you earn a small commission. Get enough website traffic and you can have a nice passive income. However, you need to build up a good amount of daily traffic before you will see any real amount of cash coming in. The other way to generate profit from a website or blog is through:
#6 Affiliate Marketing – Affiliate marketing lets you capitalise from other people’s products and experience. Simply join an affiliate program and promote other people’s products on your website or blog. You don’t have to have a website for affilaite marketing and you can simply send paid traffic to pre-made landing pages supplied by the affiliate company whose product you are selling.
Affiliates can earn up to 50% of the cost of various digital products online and there is no delivery, storage or customer service issues to deal with. Simply send traffic to other people’s products. Get started here. There’s several ways of doing affiliate marketing so I’m going to list each one separately included in this list.
#7 Affiliate Marketing – Paid Advertising
Using paid advertising is the fastest way to earn from affiliate marketing. You will ideally need products which bring in multiple sources of income, rather than single sale items. These include digital products which also give you:
#8 High Ticket Commissions – High Ticket commissions let you recoup your advertising costs more quickly and so are perfect to use in conjunction with paid advertising.
#9 Up-Sell Products – Earn money even after you make the inital sale by choosing products to sell which include affiliate commissions for later sales. Ususally after you have referred a customer to a company you don’t receive any later commissions based on introducing a customer. Choosing the right products lets you earn for later sales closed by the affiliate company.
#10 Affiliate Marketing – Memberships -Â There are all kinds of affiliate products but selling membership products means you continue to earn even after you make the inital sale. You can earn a regular income from your previous sales with membership products.
#11 Paid Surveys –
Other online money earning methods include paid surveys. If you don’t mind filling in forms and giving marketing companies your views then this could be for you. There are many paid survey websites such as prizerebel.com, opinionoutpost.co.uk, swagbucks.com/g/paid-surveys and uk.toluna.com/
#12 Qmee.com
This piece of software lets you install some browsing software on you computer. It then displays some sponsored results alongside the normal search results. Â Search, shop and share your opinion to earn real cash rewards. You can also cash out at minimal amounts so you don’t have to build up your cash reserves. See how it works here.
#13 Work On Fiverr.com
Fiverr.com not only offers the opportunity to work remotely from your computer but it also puts you in touch with a wealth of online experience to call on for things like copyrighting, ebook cover creation, marketing, link building and whole host of other useful skills. If you’re building your own internet business Fiver.com lets you find people to outsource work to and you can do it very cheaply.
#14 Upwork.com formally Odesk –
This is another freelance workers paradise. Upwork lets you bid for jobs and work remotely doing various things for people all around the world.
#15 YouTube –
YouTube is another gem when it comes to online money earning methods. Some YouTubers can make a hefty sum if they build a following and create popular videos which take off. You can either join the Adsense program and put adverts on your videos or sell affiliate products to your viewers. Either way you will need to create many videos and they will need to catch on to build a following. In the unliely event that your single video goes viral, you could still find yourself doing very well, although YouTube traffic usually comes after a lot of hard work!
#16 Sell Your Photos Online
Sites like istockphoto.com and  Fotolia.com let you upload your own photographic images to their website for royalty payments for any sales you make. The more photos you upload the greater your income potential will be. If you’re a budding photographer why not upload your images and earn money from their sale!
#17 Upload Your Designs For Cash
Have you any designs or images which you have created or have the rights to. Perhaps you have an artistive flair? With this site: redbubble.com you can upload you images to be used on items like t-shirts and other merchandise. If your item makes a sale you earn a commission. The best thing is once you have uploaded your item there’s nothing else to do. Merchandise is created when a sale is made and delivered worldwide by the company.
#18 Self Publishing On Amazon
Do you have a hidden masterpiece which you’ve never had published? Or do you have an ebook? Why not turn it into profit by self publishing it on Amazon. If you have a skill or a hobby maybe you can turn it into a guide or manuel to help others. Anyone with a laptop can learn how to do this and you can upload your book using the straight forward step by step process.
#19 Buy and Sell Domain Names
Domain names can fetch some hefty amounts of cash and you can buy them for next to nothing from sites like namecheap.com, godaddy.com and 123reg.co.uk. The trick is to find cheap domain names for sale for a few dollars which have some hefty comercial value. Then list them on a site like sedo.com to sell them on. You may have to sit on them for a while but if you make it a habit you could be in for a nice payday when someone buys it from you!
