10 Ways to Earn Money on the Internet
89So you want to earn some money on the internet? Well you have come to the right place; Hubpages is full of people trying to make a living or at least part of their living through the internet. The best advice I have got about earning money online has come through hubpages. So if you’re a beginner to the earning online world I suggest you sign up to hubpages now.
Also let me tell you about some of the best advice I got at the beginning of my earning online adventures, “it’s not easy!”I read it over and over again from people who write honestly. Don’t be dubbed by the pictures of people standing in front of a Ferrari next to two beautiful women waving money in the air. That picture was probably stolen from a national lottery website. Trust me, their gimmick doesn’t work, I think common sense will tell you that if you sign up to these programmes and pay the X amount they ask for you won’t see that money again. Earning even a second income online takes a lot of work.
Below is a list of 10 of the better ways to earn an income online. The list is by no means exhaustive, I’m sure if you looked around for long enough you could find another 100 ways. Just remember that the internet is still at its infant stage. The majority of money on the internet comes through advertising, advertising alone cannot support Facebook, Google, Youtube and the many more huge companies that have shot up over the last 10 years. Therefore something has to change in the near future. One sign of this is the fact that newspapers will soon be charging people to access them online. So my advice is stick around for long enough and learn all you can, earn whatever money you can and in the long run you may be thankful for all the hours you put in learning about backlinking, keywords, Joomla! etc,etc,etc.
So enough of the ranting without further ado heres a list of some the best ways to earn money online.

1)Set up a Blog
If you are a talented writer or know a lot about a niche topic you should consider setting up a blog. Write and build up a readership, write some more sell some advertising space or fill it with google adsense and watch the pennys start to roll in. For most people it stays as pennys but for others it helps them make millions, check out this article for a look at some millionaire bloggers.
2)Write for a revenue sharing site like Hubpages.
By writing for a site like hubpages you can make a passive income from people who buy products through your site using amazon and ebay links similar to what is below and through adsense clicks, 40% of these are taken by hubpages. This takes a lot of work, not just writing but also promoting and researching your articles(I didn’t just write this off the top of my head). Sign up to hubpages here!!
3)Sell your photographs online
Many amateur photographers sell their photos online and make money through companies buying them on stock image sites like iphoto.com. For guide on how to sell your photos and make money read this article.
4)Sell your skills using outsourcing sites
There are many websites that allow you to sell your skills online. If you’re a writer you can write articles for magazines or blogs and get paid for, if you speak a second language you can offer your services as a translator the list goes on. This is a good way to earn an income for people who want to be freelance. However you are competing on price with people from around the world. This can mean that the earnings can be very low.Some sites to begin with are www.elancer.com and www.freelancer.com
5)Sell products online through affiliate marketing
Many online retailers are looking for affiliates. Affiliates are webmasters who advertise the online retailers products using their websites or articles. The amazon links to the right are a prime example. Many people have had success earning a living online using their website to market other peoples product and getting a commission on the sales. Commissons vary from company to company. The advantages are that you don’t have to worry about stocks or shipping but the disadvantages are its easily copied and hard to make a good living. This website is a good starting point if you want to find out more.
6)Sell products online using drop shipping
If you don’t fancy affiliate marketing you can always try drop shipping. This requires working with a partner often in China and India who manufacture and ship the product for you to your customer. You set up the website and attract the customers and they do the rest. The problem can be that the products may not always be of the highest quality and you have a partner a million miles away who you’ve never met. If you want to find out more about dropshipping have a look at this article.
7)Domaining
Since the real estate market in real life has gone bottoms up why not try out the online real estate market. This involves buying domain names or websites changing them or building a site on them and selling them on. This requires knowledge of the internet market and the ability to predict trends but there are a lot of people who make a pretty penny doing this on the net. This article is a great starter’s guide to domain buying and selling.
8) Make money taking online surveys
This is the method I despise most. No offence to anyone that does it full time!!But, the earnings suck, most companies are scams and you learn nothing doing it. Its mind numbing and boring, of all the people I have read about who stuck with this no one has had much good to say about it. The only reason I mentioned it in this list is because I’m sure you have read about it already, Don’t waste your time, skip past this method!If your sure that this is the method for you(maybe you love giving your opinion about new products).
9) Lead generation
This is another type of affiliate marketing but the product in this case is often something high cost and long term like a new car, mortgage or university course. It involves sending leads to a sales man who follows up on them. Sometimes you get money just for the lead and you always get money if they buy. If you are blogging about financial products or education this can be a very lucrative income. This article is a great starting point if you want to use this method.
10)Selling books and products from home
A lot of people have an eye for a good product, unfortunately Im not one of them. These are the people who can see the value in junk at garage sales or who can set the trend when it comes to clothes. Nowadays a lot of people are making money selling on ebay. If you have knowledge about or acess to a niche product and think you could turn a profit on it why not set up an ebay sellers account and put it up for sale? What’s the worst that can happen? If you have a lot of books you would like to get rid of check this article out. It has some of the best ways to sell books online.

This opportunity allows you to earn money from ClickBank, HD Publishing, TrialPay, Google Adsense, US Search and Match.com. By having your own People search engine website that pays you when someone uncovers results for anybody's phone#, address, email look-up, ssn or running background checks. It's a fact: 30% of all searches online are people related, so it's a very good niche to get into. Plus there are other way you can utilize your People Search business to make even more money. Give it a try. You won't regret it.
Thanks for the tips, which includes a couple I didn't think of.
Great Hub. Always trying to make money online. You are so right about surveys, they are mostly a waste of time.
Appreciate the tips you gave, kev8. And thank you for your honesty. Making money from online ventures is just as "easy" as making money from "real" ventures. There is really no shortcut to success.
Hay to earn money u need your own site
i have peeptalk.com
Good job and nice tips. Very helpful for those who wanted to make money online. Thanks for sharing
Please follow me i am following you
It's good to get honest, down to earth information on making money on the internet. After awhile you become blind to all the money making ads on the internet that claim to put millions in your pocket overnight. Good and informative, thanks.
blogging + AdSense monetization is the bet option available.
Great article,
I'd like to add to your #1 Blog description, because a lot of people are finding great success with video blogging or vlogging. YouTube now lets people set up channels which are generating decent revenue.
great hub kev8 and the comments from people with other suggestions are all a wealth of information.
Very useful hub! the last inportant is do and do!
Thank you so much!!!
You can also set up an info site about a topic you know and earn income from advertising, like AdSense. To do this you need to know a topic, get a domain, make a website and do search engine optimization to get traffic.
Getting earnings online requires intensity of efforts. The significance and value of online business depends on the choice and selection of good, reliable sites like Xomba.The sites with a lot of gimmics should be avoided by all means.A continuing regularity in posting articles of current interest is indispensable to get online income. Best Regards
Santosh Kumar
This a great source of info for people, we have some other ways as well!!
Dropshipping sounds interesting. There are good options online and they take hard work.
Thanks for the great information and some great options, some I hadn't looked into before but will now.
Great info, thanks. There are even more possibilities to make money online if you think of the lucrative world of PLR and Resell Rights products.
Great ideas. As you have pointed out, there are many ways to make money on the Internet. I like how you explained and pointed to places to get started ... building a website, domain names, hosting ... people who are getting started will appreciate that information.
Thank you.
Thanks for the great information and some great options.
Great Info Kev, I think people should also set realistic expectations, that will help keep them in the game long enough to realize there true profit potential,
Thanks,
Shawn
Great hub! It's important for the newbies to know that it is always best to take advantage of as many of those money-making strategies listed as possible. When you have multiple revenue streams, it helps your earnings to stay steady through search engine algo updates and the like. The more diverse your revenue sources are, the more dependable your income will be over the long haul!
Love reading about this sort of stuff. As the world market, and technology, continues to change, so too does the way we look at occupation. I mention a few new niche jobs in my hub:
Great.
For a new hubber such as myself, your information is quite valuable. I am certain to return to it time and time again to review your information for the sake of making a little dough on line...
Thanks for your efforts!
Wonderful hub chock full of good ideas for making money online. Bookmarked for future reference!
selling photographs is a great way to make money. A friend of mine is never without her camera and she started selling her pics online.
God article! I appreciate the advice!
thanks for sharing such informative thing. Its really an easy way to earn money. But only those people who are hard-worker and punctual can do this job.
What a great hub. Many of these things people can do with simple training.
Its nice to see real money makers instead of the scams.
Your hub is now listed on my blog. The link to my blog can be found towards the bottom of my profile page.
Dale
This hub is very useful it has details and leads that can get you started in many business sources that i has not believed could be true. This is something that i have been looking forward too and also many people that are out of jobs.
This may be a start to a new career for me it is well laid out and has self understandable instruction that is very supportive.
Awesome
Useful hub. I like how it is put together and i definitely voted it up.
This is excellent, Now I know how to earn money online...Thanks for the hub!",)
thanks please read my hub
Excellent hub, thanks for the useful info.
I think for most of the people here who like to write, alternative revenue sharing sites may also appeal to them. I did hear recently though that sites like eHow have closed their revenue sharing programme which is a shame. However there are still many others which people can sign upto.
I personally prefer Micro Niche Site development and monetising this with AdSense, so far seems to be working ok and I would suggest that your readers also consider this as an additional way to earn an income.
Great hub, bookmarked!!!
Zaheer
Great info, will try something out.
Nice hub. I would want to add one more thing here and that is to buy your own domain once you get some funds. It's really a good idea to earn without investing money, but paying a few dollars a month and earning hundreds of dollars from that is much more better than revenue sharing or working on a free blog.
Thanks for the great tips. I find my biggest problem is still getting traffic- since I have to do it at absolutely no cost. Any suggestions on that?
Great hub! Blogs, Hubs and Google adsense revenue count for me most on the Internet at present. Thanks for making it quite informative.
so much to do so little time. this is a real quality hub with lots of information. keep it up.
.....nice......
Thanks kev8. This is good solid info.
Nice hub. I'll have to try some of these ways to make money.
Nice to read a quality hub like this. I agree that there are too many "snake oil" like products in the internet marketing sector. Like any other venture it takes time and practice to make money online.
Nice to read and very infomartice article:-)Ey visit me and say hallo my frend:-)
Nice hub. There are heaps of great ways to make money online, but also heaps of misinformation. I think you made it easy to understand and informative.
Fantastic information, I hope to try at least some of these ideas. Thanks
Awesome hub, thanks so much for the info.
All of the 10 ways are perfect. Nice hub!!Very informative a. I liked your choice of topic and writings. Joining your fan club for more of your writings and would like to invite you too.
Are you doing all ten of these yourself? I think the best way is to just create a QUALITY blog about a topic you know about, create quality content and put Adwords on the site. SEO the blog and build traffic to it over time.
Thomas
is it necessary to own a website for money making?
I have a website www.2012phones.com, but that's not enought , need let more guys know it ,that's the key point
This is a great page! I wish I could do something like this one.
very informative
Great hub dear,all information impress me keep it up..Adsense is best
Nice tips. Thnks
good list. the best one of them all is writing articles.
You can earn money on the internet by starting a blog (or some other Web site) and serving ads (like Google Ads) or you can get into affiliate marketing on the Web. Of course, the processes are much more involved and require a lot of planning and hard work.
Informative hub indeed!!!!!!
The information placed in the hub is very valuable. How some one can be hugely benefited through the hub page is very nicely depicted. A hub provide lot of information and knowledge and it had been explained in very lucid style. This provide lot of fun and enjoyment. Thanks a lot for sharing such a wonderful peace of text. I await your future article with great curiosity. Keep on hubbing.
I'm sure I have tried every method possible online. My favourite would be article marketing as it is simple, anyone can do it and doesn't cost a thing. It is also a great way of testing products and niches that work and finding low competition keywords that rank well. From there you can build a website or blog around the niche and really begin to create an authority and make some decent income.
Great article - very informative! Thank you very much.
Thanks for the info!
Those are really good ways. Surfing those articles now. Thnx a lot.
I found your article very helpful so I am now a fan.
This hub has great information, and I needed some. Thanks for writing it.
I found article writing and blogging as great money makers - I feature my content on YouSayToo, a blogging community!
Great info! All the ways you listed are legitimate ways to make money...but they all take a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication. Thanks for writing!
great hub.. informative.
Some great information here! Thank you for a very useful hub! Rated up, useful and bookmarked!
good stuff, plus on sites like elance, you can outsource so much of the mechanical work involved with online business cheaply, so you can free up your time to work on other things.
nice hub.
you did good job,but keeping your computer safe is prefer,right?read my hub
i must say nice research
No doubt a lot of good and sound advice here. One thing I have found to be true, interestingly enough, is that HubPages so far, has BY FAR been superior to anything else I've used in generating traffic and indexing.
Those are all good ideas. You can even make a video and sell your products. It works for me.
You are write about online surveys. I have an account with mob4hire.com. I devoted time to there surveys about my experience with cellphones and telecommunication networks in the Philippines, they promised to pay me $1.00 dollar for my time through Paypal. I did not get a single penny.
Thanks for the tips you have here. This is quite interesting. I would definitely like to try one.
thanks for the article
nice hub
Great article! Plenty of good ideas in there including a few I never thought of. I'll have to give the stock photography thing a try!
Good Tips very useful. Bookmarked for reference.
Just bookmarked your hub. Great read. Thanks !!
Great article and useful tips. Recommended for anyone who want to start doing online business.
thank for this.
This is really amazing post. Most of the people trying to earn online may not be knowing these many sources. Many stick to google adsense with blogger only. I too am one of those frankly.
Thanks. This is a useful summary and one to which I will direct people.
great post, thanks for sharing a useful post
The info was great Kev.But I am yet to decide which way would be the best to earn a few dollars every month as the list above doesn't tell us how to make lots of money.
nice one you have here. easy guidelines for beginners to start out. i love this
These are all great ideas. It is harder than it looks. I have been trying for several years and have not had that much success. I will keep reading and trying to learn because everyone makes it sound great. I am not letting my day job go.
Thanks for sharing these good tips. I will look into a couple of these.
Thanks for sharing
Does the average person who writes Hubs making any money?
This is a really great list!
Your hub is great, very informative, i agree with you on those surveys, they are the most tiring and not worth your time at all. I've just clicked on those web hosting and domain name sites,I will check it out now. I'm sure they are useful.
Excellent info; very helpful! Good job.
Good list, all these methods work but they take time to see any substantial income usually :)
Haha, i'm doing it right now. Well, it's a good list and It is certainly tested and all of it work
Thanks for sharing.
Good tips. Although it is not feasible for one person to do all of them unless they have an outsource team. It is good to pick 2 or 3 and test them to see which one is most effective.
I would recommend adsense for beginners looking to earn money online. Probably the easiest way is to use hubpages, but if you are looking for a complete website with higher earnings you should probably try to make your own blog.
Wow, that's a surprisingly comprehensive list! Great advice. Not sure if I would do the online survey thing, personally though :). I'm more of a writer/blogger type!
Melissa
Thank you, very useful article!
Good article, Kev8. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
good article
Nice hub and very informative. I learn much from this hub. Actually there are many resources to get money online. And I found a lot in through this hub. Two thumbs up for you. I rate this one.
Prasetio
Thank you for this Hub. Good Lord, it's kind of like going to school for the first time. If I can absorb a small portion of the info here and the info to which it leads I will consider myself well versed on the subject.
you r something,really great hub
Really great hub Kev. As I've been moving into IM a bit more I keep on asking myself do I make money on the front end or on the back end. You've certainly got some good points on 'selling things' however I personally think that giving away free things which have value not only builds some connection but increases the likelhood of future success.
If you want to learn more about this kind of thing, I would suggest visiting this site I came across a couple of days ago (no opt-in or details required) just download the info straight away and you'll definetally learn a thing or two regardless of what level of skills you have.
Thanks for sharing
Jackson
Thanks lot for this huge information .Wish we can hear from you soon.
I really appreciate about what you've said. Thanks a lot for the tips. Yeah, the easiest way is to use hubpages but if you are looking for a bigtime money you've got to make your own blogs.
Anyway, it is easy to make money online as long as you have the courage to success.
Many people have gotten excited about lead generation, especially since a chunk of people ~ 1 yr ago got tossed from Adwords. One key thing about making money, CPA included, is that certain types of offers convert better with different types of pitches. I think this is one main reason newbies can have trouble getting sales or offers to convert when they try their hand at making money online: matching the marketing method or pitch with the product they are selling.
Good post. Even I have been hunting for that 2nd source of income. Found few genuine, mostly fake. Got paid from AdSense and NeoBux but they were slow and needed a lot of effort. Finally found something that you might be interested in trying. Visit the website in my signature or you can access my HUB for detail info.

Very Nice tips
Internet is indeed a powerful tool. Earning money is easy as 123. I deeply appreciate your article. Very concise manner of laying down information.
Hello Kev8: I suffer from the starving artist syndrome with my poetry and low traffic on Huppages and have only now begun to look into making money on the internet. 10 Ways to Earn Money on the Internet and the Comment responses is honest and helpful information. Many of the people who left a Comment are way ahead of me. I write Hubs and Comment all the time on Hubpages and have nothing to show for 2 years work. I never paid attention.
I have just started a Blog. I am going to register with Amazon and Ebay. I only registered with Paypal. I have a thousand books to sell on ebay and amazon. When I Comment, I want to create backlinks to my hubs. What is a backlink? Why do people want backlinks? How does a backlink help someone get more views? I will read some of your other Hub articles to find out. Thank you Kev8.
Hi Kev8
Loads of good info there. I'm just starting blogging because I'm a writer and love writing but could really do with learning how to earn some money with it, so your article was very useful.
Many thanks
Johnny
Nice hub, I liked it.
Thanks. You got me going...
Nice article !
I like this hub. Interesting and appeals to me much. Thank you for posting.
great article, thanks for the detailed information..
the easiest way to make money online is google adsense
Helpful information. Good hub thanks for writing about these 10 ways to make money on the internet. Many will find this useful information.
I am just starting my journey to make money on the internet. You have provided me with many avenues to explore. Thanks for all the useful ideas, links and information.
Nice hub and very good tips i'm going to look in to some of them.
Lots of info here, kev8. I'll keep these in mind. Thanks a lot! :D
Hi kev8,
I've got the Adsense model setup on a few of my hubpages. As you say, they take some of the revenue, but I don't mind because I get great traffic from them. I think making money online is all about diversity. You have to have a few different methods of income. I'm also doing adwords at the moment. It can be tricky but works well once you figure it out.
Thanks
Gary
Thanks, Your tips are very informative but I think this all are takes too many time.
Now I have a clear picture of making money online.
Thanks :)
thanks for your support. Had heard about an Affiliate program. Please check its crediblity. PLEASE VISIT my Hubs
Kev8,
I just found out about taking surveys online. I think it's fun and you learn about different products and services. Great article.
Great hub. I love reading about making money online. There's always more to learn.
Excellent hub on how to make money online. Of all the different methods that you mentioned, affiliate marketing seems to be the most promising avenue. However, in order to do this, you need to have either a website or you can try your luck with PPC marketing on the major search engines. PPC marketing always involves a certain level of risk factor, so it is good to have a website instead since you can get free organic traffic from the search engines if you promote your site properly. The other option is obviously to write for other websites that need content and get paid. However, this requires a certain level of commitment, energy, and drive on your part.
everyone is for everyone
Nice well written hub.
I think affiliate marketing is the best way for making money online.
Great hub! I can add one to your "don't do it" list. If someone offers you money to have stuff delivered to you, and all you do is send it on to them, they are buying with stolen credit cards and the merchandise is probably leaving the country - and YOU will be left on the hook when the scam is discovered.
Interesting ways to market yourself.I however do not recommend domain buying for anyone with a conscience.Someone bought my name when my renewal fee did not go through.Now they are advertising hotels in Rwanda under my name! How cruel is that.I say business with heart.
Nice 10 ways to earn money! I applied some but they don't always work the way I like. Guess have to keep on trying my luck!
Thank you for your post! I am currently in the discovery process of all internet has to offer in terms of money-making, so this was very helpful.
Nice one man, dropping a link to it.
Lead generation is the way to go! I think thats the future of IM.
Great hub. thanks man for sharing.
Hub pages seems to be losing traffic overall and down in the search engines. Maybe its just my observation, but blogging seems to be losing rank.
Nice sharing about seo tools, Keep sharing with us. Now i want to follow you..
I wont do number 8, because I don't have a luck in online survey.
And about writing a blog is great idea, although you should spend sometime or money to do SEO job, writing for hubpages is a great idea if you want to do very little SEO effort.
perfect blog, let's start making cash
what's some great way's to make some extra income online. The key to making money online is to actually do the work. Most people are not willing to put in the work that it takes to make some extra cash online.
Great ideas here. Very useful hub.
I'm bookmarking your Hub and shall slowly study it - am completely new to this but determined to learn. Thanks for comprehensive research.
