How to make money online

Even though it is not easy to make money online, there are still legitimate ways to earn online income.

Below is a list of real opportunities which you could explore in your journey to online earnings.

• Sell physical goods
  www.ebay.com
  Sell all your unwanted goods or other people's stock.
  This could involve stocking you product, customer care, order fulfillment, transport and shipping, so it is a real business.

• Employment referrals
  www.H3.com
  They will pay you if you can get a friend in your social network a job!
  This is definitely a win-win situation, your friend gets a job, you get a commission and the employer gets a great employee.
  Their referral fee is a minimum of US$5000

• Sales leads
  www.innersell.com
  If you supply one of their vendors with a successful lead, you will be paid a 70% of the vendor-specific lead commission.
  You will essentially be connecting vendors and customers.

• Flipping domains
  
  You could buy domain names which you expect to do well in Search Engine Results Pages (Google,Yahoo) based on keywords that are contained in the domain name.
  Think in terms of impending product launches.
  Buy a domain name that relates to that product and sell it for a profit.
  Godaddy sells their domain names for under US$10 depending on the URL you choose.

• Flipping sites
  www.squidoo.com
  No investment needed here, other than lots of time.
  You could create a website based on a popular topic for free at Squidoo (they call it a lens) and once your site's popularity is high (perhaps you also have a large opt-in email address list ) you can sell it.

• Blogging to the bank
  www.blogger.com
  www.tieroneads.com
  Same idea, create a (free) blog page, write loads of quality content and put advertisements in for a fee.
  www.TierOneAds.com will match your blog with relevant advertisers and pay you to put an ad into your blog.

• Take this one step further
  www.creative-weblogging.com
  They will pay you between US$84 - US$140 per month for 3 to 5 posts a week with a minimum of 70 words each
  There is a limited list of topics available.

• Subscription-based website
  Site-Build-it
  Create a website with such vauable content or features that people are willing to pay to be a member of it.
  (Think dating services, exclusive investment advice)
  If you are not HTML-literate, you can use a service like Site Build-It to help you get your site off the ground.
  They have a suite of tools which makes it really easy to build websites.

• Affiliate marketing
  www.clickbank.com
  
  Create a website which sells other people's goods through affiliate links.
  You get paid a commission per sale.

  This option is perhaps to most popular one.
  The setup costs (for example at (godaddy.com) are limited to buying a domain name (less than US$ 10 per year) and a hosting service (less than US$ 5 per month) .
  You could even do it for free, but this will hamper your reputation-building efforts.
