10 simple steps to making some money online
Posted on May 19, 2008
Filed Under starting up |
In my previous post on making the much needed capital for your online business, I mentioned a few ideas on coming up with the some money to start up your online business. I also pointed out that these ideas can easily snowball into full online businesses for you. My opinion is that you simply come up with a clear plan ( since you weren’t in for the long term initially ), so that you don’t get your fingers burnt.
So I said I’ll put up ten simple steps to making some money. They’re laughable, true, but if you try them you’ll be closer to making more money online than you were , 5 minutes before reading this post.
I’ll advise that you follow the steps in order, but if you don’t want to, feel free to improvise. My goal in this post is not to provide you with a long term online business even though that may eventually happen. I simply just want to show that with hard work you can make some money online. There’s no better motivator to putting in that extra work than receiving that check in your mail, or checking your account online and seeing the dollar sign and a few non-zero digits after it, no matter how small.
So to the steps:
- Write a list of 10 things you can do sitting in front of your computer
- Strike out 5 that don’t really excite you
- Now here’s the catch - open your web browser and browse to www.google.com - not much but you’ll be surprised how many million-dollar ideas started out like this.
- Type in each of the 5 things (in turn, that is) and add ‘earn money’ before each phrase, it mustn’t necessarily make grammatical sense.
- Scan through all the listings in the search results and go through the brief descriptions, these will give you an idea of the opportunities available to you without necessarily having to open all the pages.
- Click on any three listings that hold your attention, and scour through the web sites.
- You’d have gone through 15 web sites by now,make sure to look out for credible and secure payment schemes, credible feedback from independent sites and forums, a functional user support system.
- You’re options should have narrowed down by now - sleep over it.
- Select one of your options (if it’s possible you can select more than one) based on your research in forums, draw up a feasible expectation of how much you intend to earn and how long it will take.
- Get to work and make some money.
Good Luck .
