1. Create your own blog.
Q : How could I earn money through blogging?
A : Simple. You create your own blog, think of a topic (this would be very easy for you if you're passion is writing), publish it over the internet, and put ads on it. Take adsense for instance. Most blogs have google ads on it and every page impression would be credited on your blogsite. Creating a blog is pretty easy. Follow this link to get more information on how to create your own blog.
Q : What kind of topics could I post?
A : That's the good thing about blogging. You get to free your mind, and be your own boss. You can write anything under the sun. Anything that might interest you.
2. PTC's
Q : What is a PTC site?
A : It means paid to click site. Literally, you would get paid for every link that you would click.
Q : Are PTC's legit?
A : There are some sites that are really paying and there are also scam sites. We could really never avoid those. Make sure that before you sign up for something, you do a little research, google it, and you would see feedbacks regarding that site. One tip as well, if you do see that the site has been operating for years already, definitely, the site is paying. Also, try to check the site, if the site has included a link that says something like "CONTACT US" or "ABOUT US", they are paying as well. But those sites who doesn't have a support tool or something, nah, forget it! Move on and search for another site.
Q : How does a PTC work?
A : There would be an advertiser that would like to display their ads on a specific website. These advertisers are doing this to increase traffic to their site, and get hits/impressions of course. And these sites that are accepting advertisements have this program that they would ask people to register for the site and click those advertisements, to increase the traffic of the advertisement, and of the site as well.
Q : How much would I be earning?
A : It really depends on the site. An average PRC site would pay for $0.01 every click, and you should view the page for around 25-30 seconds before it gets credited on the account. Also, these programs also has a referral or which is known as marketing. Every registered account has it's own referral link, and every person that would register for that referral link, you would be given a certain percentage for that referral.
3. Paid Online Surveys
Q : How does this work?
A : It's kinda similar with PTC's, the difference is on this one, you would be given the opportunity to answer a particular survey and share your opinion. These are companies that are needing opinions to improve their products and in return, they pay you. This is one of the easiest way to spend your spare time and earn money at the same time.
4. Be a Freelancer
Q : Online freelancer, is it possible?
A : Yes, as a matter of fact, most freelancers are getting their projects over the internet.
Q : What are those sites that I can go to look for a job?
A : There's a lot of sites that you can go to, and be qualified for a job. Top sites would include:
> getafreelancer
> guru
> craigslist
I will be creating another post with more detailed list of sites for you :)
Q : What kind of jobs do they offer?
A : Loads. Medical, Accounting, Technical, Writing, etc. You name it. All that you need to do, search for a category, browse through a list of projects, and voila! Send applications to
people.
Q : How will I get paid for it?
A : Well, it really depends, and this would be discussed between you, and the project creator. The compensation would be between the both of you as well. So, make sure that if you would apply for a freelance job, you gotta be sure that you can do it on the project creator's time of preference and rates as well.
Alright, there you go. Hope this one helped to you people, who wanted to make use of their spare time and make extra dollars. Ciao!
