5 Ways You Can Make Money Online

Instead of just using the internet to email, view websites and chat, did you know that you can also make money online? You can, right from the comfort of your own home. A lot of us could use some extra cash to pay for our expenses or maybe you'd like to try and make it a part time or even full time job from home? Here I will tell you 5 ways that you can make money online.

1. Ebay

I'm sure you have heard of Ebay! They even have tv commercials now! Instead of bidding and buying, you can be making money from Ebay. All of us have stuff laying around our house that we no longer want. To sell on Ebay, simply sign up for an account and take a few good pictures of the item you wish to sell. I recommend downloading Turbo Lister, which makes it very easy to list many auctions at once. Make sure you are truthful and very descriptive about your item. Don't set reserves, this will lower your chances of getting a good price for your item. Instead, add a buy it now! Some buyers are more inclined to buy your item right away, instead of waiting for the auction to end.

2. Surveys

There are plenty of survey websites out there. Companies want to know your opinions about certain products, some that are not even on the market yet! You can get paid for your opinion and all it takes is a few minutes every day. What you do is sign up for a survey site, fill out your profile and they will email you with surveys that they matched up from your profile. I have heard of some survey sites paying over $20 just for one survey! Although there are times where you might get paid $1. Either way, make sure you do the surveys they send to you, this will make your chances higher of getting more survey invitations.

3. Get Paid to Sites

A get paid to site is a website that pays you to complete offers. There are a lot of them out there and they really do pay you. Just make sure to do a search for proof of payment for the site you would like to work on, to make sure it's legit. The offers that you complete to get paid for are usually 100% free. A lot of these get paid to sites will have their offers well organized for you to find the free offers. You usually just enter your zip code or email address and get paid. There are a few survey offers too. They take a few minutes but usually are higher paying. If you'd like to make even more money on get paid to sites you can do their trial offers and refer others. A good website to check out for get paid to reviews, proof of payments and tips is Your GPT Guide.

4. Blogging

If you don't already have a blog, get one! Blogging is a good way to make some money. Just like the surveys, there are companies out there that need you to help them and they will compensate you to do so. To do this with blogging, you sign up for sites such as: Pay Per Post and Blogsvertise. When you sign up, you provide them with the link to your blog and some information about your blog. They will then review your blog and decide if it's acceptable. This usually means that your blog is 30 - 90 days old and that you have a good amount of posts. When they approve your blog, you will get notifications by email about companies that you can write about on your blog. It's advertising for the company and you get paid to do it. The posts don't have to be long either, just a few paragraphs and a few links. The more you do, the more "tasks" you will get assigned!

5. Google Adsense

Ever see those little advertisements by Google at websites? Well you can take advantage of them too if you have a blog or a website. Google Adsense pays you to add a little bit of code to your blog or website. Everytime somebody who visits your website that clicks on one of the ads will result in you getting some cash added to your account. Some people choose to have a few links at the bottom of their page or you can incorporate the ads right in with the content of your website. You can even choose to have image ads or just text ones. One of the best things about Adsense is that you can create "channels" if you have adsense on multiple sites, this will let you track which website is bringing in the most cash. You can even customize the font colors and background colors for the ads.
