So You Want to Make Money Online, From Home?

0 comments

This seems to be the latest craze sweeping the Internet. Everyone is reading about how someone has figured out how to make tons of cash online, and for just a small fee they will show you how to do it. First of all, there is no instant online cash to be had. Period. As with anything else in life you have to actually work to earn it. No "secret cash systems", or "Internet wealth secrets". There aren't any. The people making money online earned it the old fashioned way...they WORKED for it.

Ads for "wealth systems" have been around for generations. It's all the same gig. Pay some slick talker some cash and he'll reveal his secrets. Heck, there is even a TV commercial out now that claims they will give you the secrets for FREE! Nothing is free, and after reviewing them, the catch. You have to put up a $399 Deposit and if you pass their course it is refunded. So, how many pass their course? But then at the start of the pitch they tell you how you make money by getting other people to buy into this system. Sound familiar? If it really is that good, why do I need to sell it to someone else? Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me. Just search eBay for making money online and see how many ebooks are listed. Guess what? Most of these people paid someone for the right to sell the book. One author and a ton of resellers. Doesn't sound like they found the secret does it?

Now, if you REALLY want to make money online, here's how to do it. But it's not quick, glamorous or easy, but it does work. There are several avenues you can use to accomplish this. I will list each one and explain how it works.

Selling On eBay

This is the easiest bar far. Get an eBay seller account. Gather up things you would either sell at a yard sale or donate to some thrift store. Do a search on eBay for those items, and in the search results, click on completed listings. As you cycle through the items, pay attention to which ones sold, and for how much. The higher the selling price, the better job the seller did. You want your listing to be similar to those. Don't copy verbatim, but pay attention to the details of the listing. The better the listing, the better chance you have of selling your item, and at a higher price. Make sure you ship quickly and be responsive to questions. Try to list your item at the lowest possible price. You not only save money on listing fees, but you encourage bidding wars.

eBay Partner Network

Now if selling on eBay doesn't seem particularly interesting to you, or you feel it is too much work, then think about being an affiliate. One particular piece of software that makes it easy to do this is BANS, or Build A Niche Site. This software allows you to build a web store using nothing but eBay listings. However, you must have an ePN account. Now, just because you build the site doesn't mean you will make money with it. You have to promote your site. You have to make sure you have your keywords and descriptions in place, as well as your title. You will need to add content pages to your site as google and other search engines don't particularly like affiliate only web sites. But never fear, the BANS forum has all the help and advice you will need to get you on the right path. It is a lot of work, but well worth the effort if you do it right.

eCrater

Here is another selling site that can get you rolling pretty quickly. Unlike eBay, eCrater is a FREE web store site. You can join for free and start listing items for sale on it. There is even a google base store connector for it, and yes it does work. But, as with any selling site you need to find your niche. Just throwing items up for sale isn't going to get you sales. People are searching worldwide for items, and you want to stand out from the masses. eCrater also makes use of google checkout. It is much cheaper to use than paypal!

What is a Niche?

A niche is any subcategory of a mainline product. As an example, let's say you are into sports and leisure. That would be the main category. A niche would be skateboarding or rollerblading. Or maybe you are into Jewelry. A niche would be handmade jewelry. There are a ton of niches out there, and just as many buyers for them as well. The more obscure the niche, the better you are likely to do.

While this is by no means an in depth analysis or guide to making money online, it is intended to get you thinking about ways to do it. Yes there are a lot of people making six figures online. But they didn't find some "secret" wealth building way of making money. If you are going to pay for something, buy a book on the subjects listed above but don't buy an eBook. Go to a bookstore and get a published one. If you buy an eBook, you are likely to get the same old content that has been passed around eBay for years.

Why People Choose to Make Money Online

0 comments

I've heard so many stories about people quitting their jobs once they get stable income from online work projects. This isn't surprising since there have been many success stories. These people, who have chosen to make money online instead of having regular full-time jobs, have realized that what they have at the moment, is a lucrative and convenient commitment.

Various projects, such as online and offline data entry, audio and medical transcription, web content writing, captcha encoding and telecommuting are only a few of those available jobs for the home-based worker. Many have shifted and found these jobs to be of help to earn extra income for the housewife, student or unemployed. So what makes this whole idea of making money online so attractive?

  • It is very convenient. Since work is done at home, there is less travel expense and everything you need for comfort is within reach. This is the number one reason for many online workers. They work without leaving the house and they own the time they spend for the jobs, and it makes it possible to do chores while being at it.

  • It pays well. They usually pay by the hour and the jobs are quite easy, considering that you are working from home. If you are a workaholic, then you'll get rich by the hour.

  • For the seller, it's a wide market. The entire web-surfing public (which means about everyone) is a potential client or customer.
  • These are the main reasons that make this modern job popular and productive. For the inquisitive job seeker, the options are many and the money is well within your need.
