Online Business/Money Making Techniques

Below are 30 proven ways to make money online:

1. Take part in surveys
Simply answer online surveys or product tests and make money from home. Take a look at some paid survey websites listed below. At all of these websites you not only earn some extra cash, but also get rewarded through gift vouchers, prize draws, free products, etc. Heads up: Don’t pay. If they ask you to pay, they are probably scams.

2. Download apps
A lot of companies pay you for installing their apps. Moreover, you get paid for each month the apps are installed in your phone. Some of these sites include:

·         Nielsen Mobile Panel
·         Media Insiders Panel
·         MobileExpressions

3. Review stuff
Write a review and earn anything between $1 and $50 per review according to the requirement. Yelp can give you some special invites.

4. Change your search engine
Do you use Google or Yahoo to search for something on the net? Now, leave them behind and opt for the Bing search engine.
Conduct your regular searches on Bing, make it your default search engine, and earn credits that can be redeemed for gift cards. You can earn as much as $5 to $10 per month. Tip: Just stay signed-in, when you perform a search.

5. Watch YouTube and like videos
Do you like watching videos in your free time? Now, you can get paid for watching videos on YouTube.
Sites like Swagbucks ask you to watch certain advertisements and like them. In turn, they will give you Swagbucks (points that can be redeemed for gift cards or Paypal).

6. Test Websites
Just open a website, click around, and get paid. New or updated website owners compensate you to test their sites.
Check out Fiverr and User Testing and earn almost $30 for an hour.

7. Data Entry
Use your accurate and quick typing skills to enter information. Go through Craigslist or Upwork and find data entry and administrative jobs for yourself. These jobs can be easily done through telecommuting.

8. Work for Amazon
Pick micro tasks from Amazon Mechanical Turk. These are services that require human interaction. You can work from home, flexible hours and get paid by one of the world’s largest retailers.
Here are some examples of tasks workers have completed:

Some reputable sites are Zirtual and Upwork

10. At-home daycare
If you are home with your children, why not start an at home daycare.
They are highly sought out in our area of Dallas because people like that they are close and that there are much fewer children involved that a more corporate daycare.
You will need to get a certification from your state, but you can make big bucks caring for children while getting to spend the day with your children as well.

11. Freelancing
Doing freelance work can greatly increase your income. Are you a stay at home mom with an English degree or a guy who naturally can find mistakes in written text?
Huge and trustworthy sites like Upwork have thousands of employers who want to hire for all kinds of tasks where you can write or edit about anything from technology to business articles. Get paid for every single article. Get a great reputation and you can turn this into a full-time job.

12. Technical freelancing

Pick your payment on per project basis.


13. Transcriptionist
Even if you don’t like your writing skills or have a programming talent, you can still do freelance transcription. Transcribing is detailed work, but luckily you can do it any time of night or day. Check the same sites listed above.

14. Tutoring
Give private tuition classes at your home and use your SAT knowledge. Choose your schedule, if you have some imperative routine tasks.
Or rather, go for online tutoring and earn $20 per hour on Chegg Tutors.

15. Associate Marketing
If you already have a blog on something that interests you, turn it into a money maker.
Join an associate network like Amazon Affiliate or Google AdSense, chose products to promote, and advertise them on your content site. Whenever someone reads your blog or article, you get paid.

16. Calligraphy
Do hand lettering for invitation cards, wedding cards, and other stationery. Use your favorite font combinations and start off with your calligraphy adventure. Look at the Etsy Calligraphy section.

17. Sell lesson plans
Have a soft corner for academic study? Sell your lesson plans, especially to new teachers or first-year teachers.
Teachers Pay Teachers is a market of educators, where you can sell and share your teaching resources.

18. Start a blog
You can start a blog for less than $4 a month. Bloggers can earn over $150,000 per year, with some of the top bloggers earning $25,000 a month! Create a blog and leverage it into affiliate sales or product endorsement deals. Consider topics like:
– Travel
– Cooking
– Health
– Technology
– Personal finance

24. Online juror
Do you love Law and Order? Ever wanted to sit in a courtroom and decide if someone is innocent or guilty?
eJury provides an attorney the opportunity to “pre-try” the case before it goes to trial in front of an actual jury at the courthouse.
eJurors review facts and answer the questions, and click a “Submit Verdict” button upon completion.
For each verdict rendered, eJurors are paid $5 – $10 depending on the length of the case. You certainly won’t get rich serving as an eJuror, but just one case a week would probably pay for your Internet access.

25. Start a side business
Become an online personal stylist or the many other options to start something on the side. It will take effort, but there are many different routes you can go.
You can work with an existing company, like Avon, Jamberry, and Stitch Fix, which will help you get started. Or find a need in your community that might need addressing. Do local companies need your accounting skills?

26. Share your views
Share your honest opinions for everyday services and products you use with focus group companies. These organizations can improve their products on your feedback, and you get to make $50, $100, or more. Check out 2020 Panel.
A friend does this at his local mall. He only makes a little side money doing the focus groups, but it pays for a babysitter and a night out occasionally.

29. Flea market tossing or flipping
If you have a crafty side, put it to good use. Visit the nearest flea market, Craigslist, or Freecycle.org and buy some interesting items, restore them, add your special touch, and resell them for a profit.
Think about refinishing tables or converting old plates into art. Turn trash into treasure.
If you need ideas, check out Pinterest. It has a world of ideas, and you’d be surprised how much people will pay for a custom baby nursery lamp or a re-stained bar from the 70s.
If you enjoy this type of work, consider starting an Etsy store. One of my wife’s friends felt staying home with her two boys was great, but she missed having an artistic outlet. She researched what was popular on Etsy and started making artistic versions of people’s photos. It only took a few months for her shop to become as busy.

30. Sell online
A garage sale might not be your style, or maybe you only have a few really nice things you want to sell. Consider selling on Ebay, Craigslist, and Facebook groups.
My wife sold some Kate Spade purses that she no longer used and made much more by using Ebay than trying to sell locally. She started by asking a very low price for the purses and the bidding drove the price up much higher than she expected.
