Making Money Online

Options
Hello all,

I have been seeing some of your signatures where you have made your internet connection fees back from online competitions:T , and then gone on to make extra money from the web. I was amazed, and would really like to start making some pennies from the web, but I don't know where to start.

Obviously, there are things like ebay (but I don't tend to have too much luck there, things either don't sell, or someone ends up with a real bargain!), and I am going to sell some books on Amazon, but other than that, I don't know where to go.

I am a keen photographer, so perhaps could sell my photos, or perhaps the notelets that I make using them, but again, where would be the best place to do this?

I think I will aim to make my internet connection fee each month (which I think is £14.99) but I would like to end up making at least £100 a month which I can then throw at our scary mortgage:eek: . Not a huge amount in mortgage terms, but its a lot in internet making money terms!

If any of you could provide some ideas/links etc, I would be very grateful!

Thank you !

Love Di x

    Hi Diana, i'm fairly new to this site also. But since finding it i have have a great site called Slicethepie.com, it's site where you listen to and then review music, getting apid for it at the same time. Great if your into music. I find that i earn around £2 a day for only an hours work.

    Minor cautionary note. I have sold some books on Amazon and one of them was quite heavy. The money you can charge for postage may not actually cover a hefty one. Amazon obviously take a cut, so be aware of that too. Having said that, their system really is easy to use.

    £2 for only an hour... doesn't sound like a good deal to me.

    Depends on how you read it, doing an hours work then getting paid £2 every day forever seems a good deal to me.

    If it worked like that I would do two hours work the first day and get £4 after that :D

    Hi Diana,

    Perhaps you would find this index by the other BG helpful? Read through it and you should be able to get started on a few things.
