Ideas for making money online please? something not a scam

Downunderdolphin

Hi,

I would be grateful for any suggestions for making money online? is it possible?

I have been searching for something for over 2 months. Most things appear to be scams or you have to pay to download a piece of software that does this and that?

I was lucky to get my money back on one product that did not work. Please if anyone is experienced and can really point me in the direction of something that really does work that would be wonderful. As for survey sites I tend to not meet the profiles they are looking for???

Thanks heaps!

there is no "easy moneymaking online"

they all are variants of the same thing , pyramid MLM where you are meant to make money by selling the same scam to other mugs.........

Online income basically amounts to 3 things-

Advertising (write blogs/build websites and have advertising on them not a great earner)
Sell stuff (Ebay/Amazon Marketplace/your own website)
Surveys (not well paid, but okay if you are time rich and cash poor)

All three are talked about at length all over this forum - just do a quick search..
As has been said - there are no really easy ways to earn money online and anyone who says there are is trying to sell you something!

Build and monetize your own blog(though this takes time and dedication to it).
Surveys/clicks but these are tedious and takes an age to see anything halfway decent.
Direct sales companies-plenty out there,you just need to research and see what is for you.
Sell your own things or dropship via Ebay,Amazon etc

I found the best scheme to double your money is take out a ten pound note fold it in half and put it back in your wallet.;);)

Do you have any experience of web design? Good money to be made there.

I don't mean going corporate and creating an all singing and dancing website that will fetch thousands of users a day, but rather advertising a fixed fee for a website based on a template for various purposes.

A few years ago, I tried out this idea and was approached by a few people asking to create a website advertising their holiday apartments to rent. I had something like "Five page website with a contact form, excluding hosting for £100". I made one and basically made slight changes to the text and formatting/images for the others and found it a really quick way to make money.

Learning how to create a website for this purpose and freeware web builders can be found without too much trouble.

I concur with globalds - as long as you have a wee bit of intelligence (one small mistake and it can cost you). I started Matched Betting on 12th April and 18 days later have made a £943.06 profit. This is more than you can expect to make though as this is by using 3 people's details.

How much money are you actually looking to make online? I've found that finding one thing to make you a decent income is very difficult (quite limited when you're fussy about what you want to do). I would recommend finding a few different things which would each make you a bit of money. Not all online though...there are other things you can do (mystery shopping gets me around £30 a month).

Good luck!

Somebody on here recommended Vivatic surveys. Many thanks to that person. I will look for their post and thank them there. Anyway, I joined just under 2 weeks ago and have made £15.55 already. Not much in the big scheme of things, but it's money I didn't have before. I look upon it as petrol money.

You have to login to find the surveys (they don't email you) and you can request the cash into your PayPal account once you've reached £10. So with a little diligence you can easily make at least £10 per week.

I have a few genuine "information" web sites that have been around for many years and enjoy a large number of visitors. I put Google adverts on them and they earn nearly £100 per month. OK, it's not a lot but it involves almost no work and the cost of hosting the sites and renting the domain names is minimal. So it's one of my "revenue streams" and brings in over £1000 profit per year, before tax.

I have also written information books, saved them as PDF files, and offer them for sale as downloadable eBooks. It's fully automated and earns me well over £1000 per year, before tax.

If I were asked for one piece of advice I'd tell you to get your web site up and running TODAY because it takes months to attract visitors through the "passive" route of search engine serendipity.
