As an addition to my recent 'make money online' series, this post is concerned with the schemes that you can build on to give a decent return. Of course, one mans 'decent return' is another mans drop in the ocean, but then one mans drop in the ocean can easily be another ones fortune, so it's all relative.
In cash terms we are talking about the sort of opportunity where you can earn $5 for about 10-15 minutes work. The list of these on-line opportunities looks like this:
- Paid to blog - there are fewer of these about nowadays, but it is possible to earn upwards of $15-$20 for a single blog-post either via a broker such as 'Payu2blog' or picked up on a forum where this type of trade is common.
- Paid To - not including reading emails or clicking on links, this covers schemes where you can be rewarded for signing up to something, completing an on-line registration or similar activity - the rewards can be far better than paid to read etc... but you will lay yourself open to spamming if you use your regular email address for signing up. In a short while you will find you can build funds quite nicely, especially if you sign others up to the same program
- Website monetisation through contextual ads and affiliates - These can be profitable enough to make it to the next level, but you can make reasonable amounts through these schemes without going all-out. Adding these to your existing websites can bring some welcome extra income. Where you rely on this as your main on-line income, the game becomes a little more interesting.
All of these can bring intermediate earnings, but will not sustain you long-term. For more serious earners, the main course - what I am calling 'the big fish' will be your ultimate goal, but until you get there, these 'starters' can keep the regular income flowing that may one day finance your 'next step' whatever that may be...
