Are there any proven ways to earn money working online/not leaving the house?

kingslayer

I am just curious if there are any jobs that would allow me to work from home? I have seen a few threads/posts on here about work online etc, but do these jobs require experience or specific qualifications?

I just want something that is maybe a few hours per week, or couple days a week so i can work another job as well.

Yes
Depends on your skills what you could do though

Okay, and where could I apply for jobs working at home? I saw one on here which involved interviewing people over the phone, but can't find it now.

There is a text Q & A service called 63336 that seems to pay well. I don't work there, but I know that Jon from the TheMoneyShed earns about £1,000 per month (at about £20 per hour) doing it. You need to pass the test first.

There are other ways to make money online aside form poorly paying surveys and PTC stuff:

- affiliate marketing (my main online activity)
- paid blogging
- selling skills that you have (fivver etc)

I always enjoy reading these topics to see if there are any new ideas for working from home. I have a few hours spare in the evenings and at weekends but they seem few and far between......

yeah i saw the 63336 service. I then read the thread for it and some people were saying they haven't earned much from it. I don't know how true that is, of course.

Do you have any idea what the test involves?

I see you posted affiliate marketing? Could you explain what that involves and how you make money from it? if you don't mind?

One of the funniest ones i've read about was a woman who'd answer dirty phone calls and 'pant' down the phone. Or even answer by text while she was sitting watching Emmerdale.

There is a huge thread about 63336 on TheMoneyShed forum. You get 40p per answer I think - sounds pretty good compared with other activities.

Affiliate Marketing requires a blog / website and in a nutshell you:
1. Review a product or group of products that you know lots about;
2. Tell people where to buy these products at good prices (e.g. Amazon)
3. Provide a link on you blog / website for them to go and buy the products
4. If they click your link and buy, you get a commission.

It's a bit more complicated than that, but that's the basic process.
It is very widespread - Even MSE makes money from affiliate commissions when they send you to other sites >> http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/site/moneysavingexpert-finance.

I would post a link to one of my sites to show you a live example, but MSE will just delete the link.

Oh, you can even sell your second-hand pants online too - though I don't think y-fronts are what they're looking for. Shame.

Affiliate Marketing is definitely not a get rich quick scheme - it takes a lot of hard work to create quality content. I only started doing it this year. Contrary to popular belief creating a website is not hard - getting onto page 1 of Google results is the hard part. I got some training before I started. I can't say where I got the training because the forum police would get very upset and delete this post.

I earned $604 in May 2014 on 2 websites that I started about 3 months ago. The great thing is that my old content will continue to earn commissions even if I did nothing more to the site. Of course, I won't just do nothing. I will continue to add content and each new post should bring more and more visitors and (hopefully) more and more commissions.

It's not for everyone though. I have had a lot of late nights because I also have a day job and 3 kids to keep me busy.

Just because I have been fortunate to make some money, there is no guarantee that you would. For every person that makes $10,000 per month, there are probably many more that make next to nothing and lots in between.
