A Primer On The Many Ways To Make Money Online
There are many, many, many ways by which you could earn money
online. There are ways that could earn for you a lot of profit
at a relatively short period of time. There are ways that would
require a gestation period that would take a little more time to
pay off. There are ways that would require a lot of work. There
are ways that would afford you a lot of time to relax, but would
be just as profitable, if not even more.
Naturally, the popular option would be those opportunities that
would demand less from you but would promise more rewards. Yes,
these opportunities exist, but are they the right ones for you?
That remains to be seen, though by the end of these lessons,
you'll be armed with everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, you
need to know to succeed in whatever online field you will decide
to pursue.
The fact is, the opportunity you will choose must be
complemented by your own skills, your own passion and your own
interests. Loving your work would make the latter less onerous,
after all, and this would result in a more fulfilling experience
for you. More importantly, loving your work would make you more
committed to your field, and this would result in better
products and better production for you.
But before we could study your skills, we should first study the
online opportunities that you could choose from. Here are some
very profitable moneymaking options on the internet:
1. Telecommuting. Telecommuting is like working for your
employer. The difference is that you could work from the
comforts of your own home. You won't have to spend for
transportation. You won't have to deal with nosy and irritating
officemates. You won't have to settle for
claustrophobia-inducing cubicles. Whatever the employer will ask
you to do, and whatever is included in your job description, you
could carry out from your own home, thanks to the wonders of
modern technology. All you need, really, are a computer, a phone
line, a reliable internet connection, and in certain instances,
a fax machine.
2. Selling your services. Whether you're proficient with
writing, graphic design, web design, programming, and the likes,
you will always find some clients for what you could offer.
Remember, the internet opens the way to a global market. Yes,
the entire world is a well of potential clients! If you can do
what they need to be done, then rest assured that you'll be in
business for a long, long time.
3. Selling your own tangible products. You could sell some
physical goods online. Whether they're something that you create
yourself, or something that you have bought from suppliers and
you wish to trade for a higher price, the internet will forever
be a channel where you could peddle your goods to a worldwide
market. You could sell them through your own website, or through
some established auctions sites like www.ebay.com , where
millions of dollars exchange hands every single day without fail.
4. Selling information products. I could discuss this forever,
and I will never be able to convey the amazing potentials of
this option. The internet is called the information superhighway
for a reason. It's because information fuels the various
processes online. If you have information that other people
would need, then you'll be doing good - nay - great business.
And the fact that information is cost-effective to create into
distributable form, and the fact that information can easily be
distributed through online channels, makes this very commodity
the most lucrative product for an online undertaking.
5. Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing. With the advent of Google
AdSense, the online world changed. Many even attribute the web's
fantastic recovery from the dot com bubble burst early into the
millennium to the introduction of PPC programs, led by Google's
moneymaking offer. Today, a lot of webmasters create hundreds
upon hundreds of websites, EACH, with all of them imbued with
the PPC code that earn as much as $25,000 in earnings per month.
But don't be misled by such a high end statistic, as such is
quite rare and is reserved for the best and most experienced PPC
veterans. $400 to $4,000 would be a more realistic goal when it
comes to this opportunity.
6. Affiliate programs. Many claim that affiliate programs are
the quickest and most efficient way of making a living online,
and it's true. There are no enrollment expenses, and you won't
have to take care of processing payments, providing technical
support, and delivering the products that must be sold. All you
have to do is to pre-sell an affiliate merchant's products and
you'd stand to earn the most generous commissions possible, in
the range of 20% to 95% per sale.
These three options are perhaps the most profitable
opportunities available for you. They, together with the other
options discussed in the previous lesson, will be discussed in
full details in the coming days. But most of our focus would
revolve around these three opportunities, as I believe beyond
the shadow of a doubt that they are the best choices towards
online prominence and prosperity.
There are other options, of course, like product creation,
resale rights marketing, joint ventures and the likes, but they
are merely incidental to the above.
But let's leave those for subsequent articles, shall we?
