In a day and age where everyday people are making good money
online, there is still an idea out there promoted to internet newbies
that says all money making propositions online are scams. This could not
be further from the truth.
Consider that there are dozens of legitimate ways to make extra money, for free, online. If one learns to steer clear of pie in the sky, get rich quick, push-of-a-button type deals, then he or she will find a great deal of safe opportunity.
Take for instance these 5 ways to make money online for free. While these are free ways to generate income without financial investment, they all require you to invest your most precious commodity: time.
So then, here they are:
1. Write articles for bloggers, marketers, and other interested online parties. Advertise your services on Internet forums and free classified sites like Craigslist (free). Warning: you will probably want to count writing as a skill and English writing at that, not to mention being able to do keyword research.
Quick tip: Do a search on the terms "article writing," "keyword research," and "keyword density." You will find some excellent help available at many of the sites you discover.
2. Write articles for offline publications: again you need to be good at writing and have the nerve to submit to tough publishing houses, however, this path to writing can be potentially more oriented toward freedom of expression and you won't have to worry about what the heck LSI is!
3. Market research firms will pay you to take paid surveys. These market research firms exist online and off but just remember this work is not as easy it may sound and the pay could be quite low in some cases. Typically you will earn $50 a day or less for some highly repetitive and uninspiring work.
4. Virtual assistant (VA) or personal assistant (PA) work is in high demand right now. Did you know that there is probably a business owner out there right now, looking for help to accomplish the routine, or even specialized, tasks that the business must perform. Assistu.com is a good place to start for proper training and how to tips.
5. You could also pick someone else's products and affiliate market for them. Ok, ok, I realize you probably have heard of this method already and you may be thinking how it is tough to begin effectively and that it could be expensive to start. You are correct in that, it can be very tough to affiliate market and not spend at least some money at the outset. However, you could use a video tube type platform or a myriad of other free sources and simply build an advertisement. You could embed a link into the video or just post a classified on Craigslist.
Tip: for more information on affiliate marketing, be careful about searching online because there are so many promoters who will bombard you with the flavor of the month pitch to try their how-to course on affiliate marketing. While some of these courses are quite good, many are composed of pure fluff and lure you into recurring memberships...so keep an eye on your wallet! Remember we want free!
So there you have it, 5 free ways to make money online and/or off. Keep in mind that all these methods do have their offline counterpart..just be creative. Remember, success is right there around the corner. You just have to go find it.
