Earn Money Online in Different Ways

There are many ways to make online money. If you search the web to know different ways to earn, you will find a lot of websites telling 101 easy and free ways. I am writing this article not to tell the easiest but some effective and efficient ways to earn. Before starting I concede to readers that I don't know any way that could make one rich over a night. Rather I do believe, to become hero from zero one needs to work hard with full of energy, patience and enthusiasm. Let's have a bird view of this post. Here I have written about PPC, Affiliate Program, Freelancing very shortly.

On each making money way , I have tried to focus on the following questions:


1)how much can be earned?

2)how to start to earn?

3)time to spend each day? etc...

1)PPC Program: Pay Per Click(PPC) is an advertising program in which advertisers pay a fixed amount every time when one of the ads is clicked. You will find out some websites those give free ads to place it on your blog or website. Google Adsense, Chitika and Bidvertiser are the leading websites among them. Cost Per Click (CPC) amount varies from one to another. Usually Adsense or Chitika pay $0.11 for each click. Sometimes Adsense pays $10 for per click. CPC or CPM depends on many related issues which are not concerned in this post. Anyway, if you get thousands of visitors for your site than this way may help you to earn online hundreds of money each month.

2)Affiliate Program: Affiliate Marketing is a program in which business pay a fixed amount or a percentage for each visitor or customer bought an item of their products or you refer a new user/customer to sign up on their websites. For example Amazon offers affiliate program and it's referral rate is 4%. If visitor buys a product of $100 from your referral link, Amazon will pay you $4. Chitika rewards 10% of what of what your  referred publisher earns and pay $25 when your advertiser referral spends $100 for add campaign. To earn from affiliating program you need a blog or website, then find out the websites which offers affiliate program and before starting it I recommend you to read their program terms and conditions.  

3)Freelancing: Sell your expertise on marketplace. This is the fastest way to make money online without investment. Elance.com , vworker.com are websites that match buyers and sellers of internet provided services. Normally buyers offer projects on different fields such as computer programming, website design, graphic design, writing, copywriting, consulting, translating etc. You can earn $100 each day or even more from home.Since the projects are open for all you have to bid with proposal explaining the way to solve the problem.

How to Make Fast Money Online Legally

You can make money online relatively quickly, but it is not easy and will require that you have some money available to spend. This method is simplified so anyone can understand it. However those who are new to making money online should not use it because if you do not do it properly, you can lose a lot more money than you will make. Newbies should instead find a method for making money that is more long-term.

Instructions: 

  1. Create a website. If you do not already have a website, you will need one. The fastest way to do this is to create a free blog. Go to a site such as Blogger or Wordpress and make a blog. Pick a topic you know well and can write about.

  2. Fill the blog with content. The content does not have to be extensive, but it should prove that you are a real person and that you have good command of the English language. You won't actually be using this blog to make money; you will be using it to get approved for programs.

  3. Register with a CPA (cost per action) network. Go to a company such as Neverblue or FluxAds and sign up. They will ask you for your website address, so make sure the blog you created is up and running. These companies provide you with offers to promote. Each offer will pay you based on how many people you get to sign up for a free or paid offer, a trial, or a request for more information (i.e. pay per lead) or how many sales you make (i.e. pay per sale).

  4. Wait for approval. Once you register with offer companies, you will have to wait to be approved. Some companies will require a phone call. Sometimes they will call you, other times you must call them.

  5. Register with Google AdWords. While you are waiting for approval, sign up for an account with Google AdWords. This is what you will be using to get leads and make sales.

  6. Log in to your CPA network account. Once you are approved with a company such as NeverBlueAds or Flux Ads, you will log in using the information they give you. You can then begin to view offers to promote.Log in to your CPA network account. Once you are approved with a company such as NeverBlueAds or Flux Ads, you will log in using the information they give you. You can then begin to view offers to promote.

  7. Select the offers to promote. Select one offer and stick with it until you get more experience. Once you have the offer, write up a few different ads that you think will get people to try it. The ads must be short as per Google AdWords guidelines. You also will need to select search terms you want to bid on. For example, if you are promoting an offer for free chocolates, you might jot down terms such as "free chocolates" or "chocolate freebies." The more specific the terms, the better.

  8. Log in to AdWords and begin to bid on search terms. Select the terms you are bidding on and how much you are willing to pay each time someone clicks on the ad. Next, enter the ad copy you wrote for each term and the URL of where you want the person clicking on the ad to go. Wait for Google to approve the ad and get it running.

  9. Monitor your sales and your spending. You will pay each time someone clicks on the ad; no matter if they complete the offer or not, so you must carefully watch your spending. Analyze which keywords and ads are getting clicks and sales, and which are not.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you are not in a hurry to make money quickly, there are many options for making money online. One of the best options is to use the website you created on a long-term basis to generate revenue by either offering sponsorships, running pay-per-click ads or promoting the offers you signed up with.

  • Some offers do not allow you to use pay-per-click advertising to promote them. You will need to check each offer individually to find out if you are able to use this method.

  • You may not be able to link directly to the offer. Google may require that you link to your own website and then from there you link to the offer. If that's the case, then you should create a separate website whose only purpose is to promote that offer. Do not spend money to promote a site that does not have a targeted focus.
