It’s virtually impossible to make money from poetry. Even the best known, most widely published poets don’t earn a lot of money from their writing. They rely on teaching jobs and other income sources. Maybe a month from now, maybe a year from now, sooner or later you will realize that Triond is a complete waste of your time.

The Web offers tremendous opportunities for those who know how to harness it. You hear of stories of people who earn thousands if not millions of dollars from doing business on Web. While there are many scams (same way in the traditional business world), there are various ways you can legitimately make money on the Web.

Here are the main ways you can earn money from the Internet:

1. Sell products on the Web – Big boys like Amazon or Lillian Vernon online catalog or smaller businesses like BigKidsVideo.com or Candle4Less.com all sell products on the Web.

You can either sell: (a) through your own storefront through your own website or applications such as Yahoo Stores; or (b) sell through online auctions like eBay

http://www.ebay.com

http://auctions.yahoo.com/

http://www.overstock.com

http://www.amazon.com

http://www.ubid.com

http://www.liquidation.com

2. Information Delivery. Others such as About.com or EuropeforVisitors.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways:

a. Advertising – there are several ways you can earn money from advertising:

1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services.

2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system.

3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: “no pain, no gain!”

b. Affiliate Programs – you sell other people’s products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)

c. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information

d. Content licensing and syndication. Some publishers such as the Associated Press get paid every time their content is published elsewhere

Yahoo answers:

Unfortunately, there is no good way for the average person to make money on line. In general, almost all money making sites on the web are scams. Under no circumstances should you give any money making site your credit card number. Never sign up for any “free” service that is free for one month and then you have to cancel it to avoid credit card charges. You will find it very hard to cancel. The phone number they give you to cancel may always be busy, so you can’t cancel. They will often charge your credit card even after you think you have cancelled. Never give a survey site your bank account number or personal information.

Many sites claim you can make money by filling out surveys or clicking on ads or some other silly method. They screw you around answering some surveys and then try to push the “free” offers that you have to charge to your credit card. One common trick they play is that they let you make 5-10 dollars easily. But their website rules say you have to earn 40 dollars before they send you a check. To make the extra money you have to participate in “free” offers. I have played around on some of these sites and it always come down to them wanting to get your credit card number in the end. Don’t let them.

You will find many people on this site that claim they made a lot of money at such-and-such a website. They are usually liars trying to make money. For instance they will say: “Go to cashcrap.com/q2347.” The “q2347″ is a signal to the cashcrap site that you are being referred to them by “q2347.” If they sucker money out of you, “q2347″ gets a kickback. These coded signals can be hidden by different methods in the link. Other people will refer you to their own private website or blog for the purpose of trying to get money off you. The bad spelling and grammar is usually a good tip off of this.

Note that I say there is no good way for the AVERAGE person to make money on the internet. If you are not average, and have some special skill, you can make money. If you are good at selling things, try selling things on E-bay. If you are good at writing, set up a blog or other site and sell ads. If you are good at computer programming, try setting up a site that uses your skills. Since I don’t know what special skills you have, I have a hard time advising you on this.

However, if you go to a site that claims ANYBODY can make money, it is usually a scam

Yahoo answers:

There is no “best way.” You have to find what you like to do that doesn’t feel like work to you.

It may not be easy, if it was we would all be rich. To make consistent money on the net, you have to have a consistant idea, product or service that people want regardless of economic times.

Think about what you are good at. Sell the service to others by creating your own site.

Think about how you can solve other people’s problems. Sell the service to other by creating your own site.

Good Luck!

Ebay is a difficult place to make money online unless you have a good item you can keep selling. With that, unfortunately, you will have to spend some overhead cash to make or acquire the product you wish to sell. If you can do that, then that is a good way for you to go.

A better way is using online surveys. Most places are just a scam and a waste of time. Luckily, I was able to find a great survey website with plenty of rewards. CashCrate is by far the best out of all of the possible places you can discover. Try it, its completely free and you don’t even have to consider spending a dime to earn money. So far, with the couple months I have been signed up, I have made a few $100, easy.

Now most people will say surveys are scams, but you never actually have to give them anything. No credit cards, no personal information. You just need to go through a website that offers you cash for doing the surveys, without having you pay in. CashCrate is perfect for that. I’m satisfied with their service and I recommend it to everyone.

With blogging people make money in a lot of ways. Sometimes they sign up for different websites where they’re paid to write about a certain topic. Some people review a product and then add a link for it and when people click on it they make money through Google Adsense. People also make money by becoming affiliates of Ebay and Amazon and adding links about certain products that they have on their site. If people purchase the product then they make a percentage of the cost of the item. (I don’t know how much that percentage is. But I do know that it varies per company.) I want to set up a blog but I know that the ones that have the most success are the ones that have a lot of traffic. That’s the hard part of the blog, getting traffic.

I personally make money online by doing survey sites and paid to click sites. I’ve been searching all summer long for websites that make money and the best ones so far are:

http://www.trekpay.com/?ref=26002

http://www.richptc.com/index.php?ref=mik…

http://www.cashcrate.com/1482281

http://www.sendearnings.com/?r=ref230493…

http://www.hourlygpt.com/?ref=2343

I’ve made $114 bucks on the Rich PTC site and it’s not that hard. Just sign up for different websites, click 30 second ads (get paid a $1 for each one, and refer other people and make 50% of what they make). In order to get the most out of these websites though, you should get your friends and family to join them as well.

I also make money online by writing different articles. When I get enough of a following from that then maybe I’ll make a blog. (Mind you, I just started with the articles.) If writing online sounds like a good idea to you then be a part of my network on Bukisa: http://www.bukisa.com/join/26348

I know this was pretty long but I hope it helped. I scratch your back, you scratch mine. Lol. Anyway, good luck and I hope that if you find any other sites worth trying that you share the knowledge! :]

P.S. Please use my referral links. It’s good karma ^_^

Hubpages would not be my first choice for a number of reasons. I think you should look into outsourcing sites. Outsourcing is really growing rapidly. I am sure that you are aware of the fact that Internet marketers need people like you to write for them. In my opinion this is one of the best ways to have more control over how much you get paid, when you get paid and so on. Fiverr.com is a great way for you to build your portfolio. Plus you can start making money right away. Check them out and look into sites like Odesk.com. You can make really good money on those type of sites. I wish you the best and much success.

There are three ways that I know of without seeing a lawyer:

1) Web site like Legal Zoom.com or Nolo.com – you can go over the questions over the phone and have the document sent to her (cost $69 – $119).
2) Software like Quicken WillMaker Plus – Purchase and install on your computer, you can go over the questions over the phone and have the document sent to her (cost about $50)
3) Get a book to walk you through the process of making your own will (suggestion: Nolo’s Simple Will Book. Cost $25)

Hey man i no your situation i was doing wat u r doing a week or so ago until i found this article Read it and get money for ur paypal account
It was proven on oprah I now have $300.00 in my paypal account

United States of America (Press Release) July 22, 2008 — Read this message until the end, and you will find out how the money flows in easy!!!!

Follow the steps and it WILL work. Trust me!!!!.

It’s NOT illegal and it is NOT a scam !!!!!.

PROVEN ON OPRAH! Reported in the Wall Street Journal!!!!

The only thing you need is : – E-MAIL ACCOUNT
- PREMIER (FREE) or BUSINESS PAYPAL ACCOUNT
- $6 on this account (The only investment)
- 30 minutes of your time

There is no limit on how much money you can receive, and you haven’t got anything to lose with this Business program. I will explain how it works!!!!!

Follow these 4 easy steps and it WILL work!!!!!

STEP 1 : SIGN UP FOR A FREE PAYPAL ACCOUNT !!!!!.

Paypal is a free and safe way to pay and receive money on the Internet.
Creating a account is as easy as creating a MSN account. Copy and paste the next line in your Internet browser and sign up. HTTP://WWW.PAYPAL.COM

Be sure to sign up for a FREE Premier or Business account and not for a Personal account. You cannot receive CREDITCARD payments with a Personal account and we can’t have that. Do we!!!!!

STEP 2: SENT $6 TO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT

This is your only investment to receive the money with ease.

With your Paypal account, send $1 to each email address listed below
!!!!! IMPORTANT!!!!! Be sure to use this SUBJECT: *PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST* when you send the money.

1) comjii@starband.net
2) sinnek@bellsouth.net
3) knight54@hotmail.com
4) chriscrtwrght40@gmail.com
5) mva2007@live.com
6) brian.piperato@yahoo.com

STEP 3 : PUT YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST

After you have send $1 to each e-mail address, put your e-mail address on the 6th place.
Remove e-mail address number 1, and move each e-mail address 1 step up the ladder
!!!!! IMPORTANT!!!!! BE SURE THAT THE E-MAIL ADDRESS YOU USE IS THE SAME AS YOU USED TO SIGN UP AT PAYPAL.

Remember that this is LEGAL. You are creating a service: an e-mail service list.

STEP 4 : UPLOAD OR COPY THIS MESSAGE TO NEWSGROUPS, FORUMS ETC AND EMAIL IT TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS!

There are 32,000 newsgroups. Upload or copy this message to at least 200 newsgroups or forums etc, but …… Remember that the more your upload the more people will see your message and the MORE MONEY WILL FLOW IN.

How to upload to newsgroups and forums? :

After you have followed step 1,2,3 and 4, save this message (and copy so you can use it again). Use your Internet browser and Outlook Express
or another newsreader and try to find FORUMS, NEWSGROUPS, BULLETIN BOARDS, DISCUSSION GROUPS, CHAT SITES and ONLINE COMMUNITIES
. Use GOOGLE or use a NEWSERVER.
Use every option to post this message. Download PostXpert to send 1 message to more NEWSGROUPS at the same time.

!!!!! REMEMBER!!!!! The more you post this message the more MONEY WILL FLOW IN.

Why does this Business program work so well!!!!!.

Lets assume that from the 200 (or more) messages that you have posted, only 5 people respond, you will have your $6 back that you have invested. Those 5 people will each send at least 200 messages with your email address on number 4. That’s 6 x 6 x $1 = $36. The next 25 people will also send 200 messages with your address on number 3. That’s 36 x 6 x $1 = $216. The next 216 people also send 200 messages with your name on number 2. That’s 216 x 6
x $1 = $1296!. Those 1296 people again also send 200 messages with your name on number 1. That will give us a total of 1296 x 6 x $1 = $7,776.

Now the last tier! 7776 x 6 x $1 = $46,656!!!!!!

This is only a EXAMPLE with 6 reactions. You WILL get MORE responses than that.

Remember that most news servers will leave the posted messages on there servers for about 2 weeks. If you will post your message again, it WILL again start from the beginning. So you can repeat this over and over again.

Everyday MILLIONS of people are ONLINE and reading these messages, JUST LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW. I also was skeptical in the beginning and have read a lot of these messages. I also thought that it was bullshit. Until I thought : What the hell!, only $6. What’s $6 and a couple of minutes of my time to solve my money problems.

!!!!! REMEMBER !!!!! Follow every step, and IT WILL WORK, TRUST ME. !!!!!

!!!!! BEST WISHES AND GOOD LUCK !!!!!

Most internet money making ideas are scams. One popular one, for example, involves “processing” or mailing envelopes. If you mail in $30 you’ll get the instructions — which tell you to mail out advertisments for the same job you just signed up for, and asking people to send their money to you.

If you are patient, and good with computers, some people make money on e-bay. If you know what items sell for, you can pick up collectables cheap (at a garage sale, for example), and sell them on e-bay. A challenge, but its an idea.

The best solution for you would be a website. You can get one for free here: http://www.bit.ly/000host
or get a premium package (you have to pay though) here: http://www.mingledhost.com

next, you need a domain name (the www.example.com) a free one is here: http://www.bit.ly/freewebdomain or you get one for free with the mingledhost package.

Next, you need to make money for your site. You can use programs such as adsense (google it) but the mot rewarding is cpalead ( http://www.bit.ly/cpaleadsignup) the cool thing with cpa lead is that you can give your friend the link to the survey, they complete it and then you get paid, or you can share the money and work something out. I personally use http://www.bit.ly/cpaleadsignup (cpalead)

another final way to make money is linkbucks ( http://www.bit.ly/signuplinkbucks) what you do here is turn normal links (like youtube etc) into paying links, and you get paid everytime you click. So instead of sharing a youtube link on a friends all, you share a linkbucks link and get paid!

They have really good tutorial step by step and it helps you to optimize the pages for the main search engines. It teaches you internet marketing and most important how to be successful.

If you want to generate sales within a short period of time then you’ve gotta drive lots of traffic to your website in a much shorter period of time. Unless you are extremely lucky, you won’t really get any sales. There is a study that says that only 2% of people who visit your site are most likely to convert into payers.

So there is really no way of accelerating the process unless you’re willing to commit to building traffic to your websites first (which in the end, would really be worth it because it’s going to give you more options on how to monetize through your site…).

Almost all the ‘get rich quick’ things are scams. Let’s face it, there just isn’t that much opportunity out there. If something on the Internet sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.

However, if you already have some junk, and you know what to do, it is possible to make money on Ebay.

Yahoo answers:

There are countless ways to earn money from the internet. It can be selling your old stamp collecting in ebay to developing web sites. I’m glad that you are willing to do something because most of the people think that internet money is something free and very easy. That’s why there are so many scams to catch them. So I recommend you to first lean about it.

These are some ways you can earn money.
1. Doing free lancing on WarriorForum.com or any other sites
2. Starting an account and uploading some good photos you have to some photo sharing web site. They will pay you per download
3. Blogging.

And many more. Do not go for easy data entering, form filling or any other thing which will ask you money for register. You will be disappointed. I’m running a blog for this. If you want to learn more you can come and read some of my tutorials and articles.

You need to have a professional company do Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for your business. Getting your business to the top of Google is really not something that you can do on your own and takes months of learning and work to understand how to do it successfully.

Make sure that the person you decide to have do your SEO really knows what they are talking about. Try giving these guys a call, they charge under $100 for basic service and are better than anybody else I’ve found.

Yahoo answers:

Hi,

I’ll try to answer your question as best I can, as you have asked more than one. Here goes:

Q: what factors do you take in when deciding whether you can beat them? Is their SEO weak?

By this I am presuming you mean how you can compare your own site to that of your high ranked competitors and how you can make your site more SEO friendly than theirs. There are several reasons why they may be ranked higher than your, one being domain age – this is a very important factor with regards to ranking and one you can’t do much about. Google favours or ‘trusts’ site that have older domain names, so gives them a ranking boost over new sites. The aim of this is to cut down on the number of spam sites that pops up, in order to deliver relevant results to users of the search engine.

Other factors include looking at your competitors back links profile and seeing what high page rank links are pointing to their site. This will give you an idea of the link quality you will need to build to compete.

Look at their on-page SEO, what key words are they using? What are you using? How do the use them? Do they use the same keywords for their inbound link anchor text? You need to consider all of these things.

Q: how long it’s been in Google first page?

If their site has been on Google’s first page for a while it could be that they are doing more things SEO wise correctly than incorrectly, it could be that their keyword selection is correct and they have found some very niche key word terms, it could be that the inbound links they have build are high page ranked and relevant or it could be that there is a lack of good competition.

Q: whether its ecommerce or not

Do they sell products? Do they have a shopping cart? Can you purchase items? Do they accept paymants online? If they do, then chances are it’s an ecommerce site.

Hope this helps…

Yahoo answers:

Google will index all your links but will only display a fraction of them when you do a link search. You’re better off using Yahoo Site Search for a more accurate listing. Even Matt Cutts of Google recomends doing it this way.

Yahoo answers:

For a start nothing is Free. You have to do some work. But here is one idea. I buy things in bulk on ebay, coins , banknotes anything. But make sure you know your items quality and also market conditions. Then sell them individually.ie. I buy Zimbabwe 100 trillion notes for about US$80 for a bundle of 100 then I list them for $2 each , sometimes I am lucky and bidding will go to $6 or $8. But at the moment they are selling for a minimum of $2 with an average of $4, so there is a good profit. You can do the same with coins , stamps , almost anything. Start small if you need and you could be surprised.

3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: “no pain, no gain!”

b. Affiliate Programs – you sell other people’s products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)

c. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information

d. Content licensing and syndication. Some publishers such as the Associated Press get paid every time their content is published elsewhere

4. Paid surveys. The rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys. Legitimate market survey companies such as Pinecone Research recruit members based on demographic characteristics — e.g. Mothers of babies 0-12 years old — and will send surveys of products and services targeting this demographic group. Pinecone Research, however, pays only $5 per survey — you’re definitely not going to be rich with that. They can give you anywhere from 1-5 at most surveys in a month.

Other companies simply ask you to answer as many research as possible, and you don’t earn anything just the chance to win at a raffle (which I find lame).

You can only obtain legitimate work from home positions from brick and mortar companies.

You want to send your resume out to companies hiring for positions you are qualified for, but include in your resume that you have a home office and you wish to work remotely. Include how you have your home office set up and what equipment you already have in order for you to perform your job.

These jobs are just going to advertised as jobs, they would not promote them as “work at home” because they would hear from too many unqualified people.

In general, almost all money making sites on the web are scams. Under no circumstances should you give any money making site your credit card number. Never sign up for any “free” service that is free for one month and then you have to cancel it to avoid credit card charges. You will find it very hard to cancel. The phone number they give you to cancel may always be busy, so you can’t cancel. They will often charge your credit card even after you think you have cancelled. Never give a survey site your bank account number or personal information.

Many sites claim you can make money by filling out surveys or clicking on ads or some other silly method. They screw you around answering some surveys and then try to push the “free” offers that you have to charge to your credit card. One common trick they play is that they let you make 5-10 dollars easiliy. But their website rules say you have to earn 40 dollars before they send you a check. To make the extra money you have to participate in “free” offers. I have played aroung on some of these sites and it always come down to them wanting to get your credit card number in the end. Don’t let them.

You will find many people on the web that claim they made a lot of money at such-and-such a website. They are usually liars trying to make money. They will say: “Go to cashcrap.com/q2347.” The “q2347″ is a signal to the Cashcrap site that you are being referred to them by “q2347.” If they sucker money out of you, “q2347″ gets a kickback. These coded signals can be hidden by different methods in the link.

There is no good way for the AVERAGE person to make money on the internet. If you are not average, and have some special skill, you can make money. If you are good at selling things, try selling things on E-bay. If you are good at writing, set up a blog or other site and sell ads. If you are good at computer programming, try setting up a site that uses your skills. Unfortunately, you have not told us of any special skills you have. It is therefore hard for anyone on Yahoo answers to give you good advice.

However, if you go to a site that claims anybody can make money, it is usually a scam

Affiliate Marketing

You don’t need your own website, you don’t need your own product, and you can get started right away. Basically, you promote products for others and get a commission. The set-up is easy, if not practically nonexistent.

But, I’m glad you mentioned that you’re willing to work hard because despite the easy set-up and quick start, you will still have to invest time to drive traffic for the product(s) you promote. There are many free ways to do this, they still take time, but the results can be immediate.

Learn Affiliate Marketing – 3 Tips on Promoting Other People’s Products

Many people decide to learn affiliate marketing when beginning to make money online. This is a great way to begin, as you are simply promoting other people’s product, and usually earning a nice commission for doing so. With affiliate marketing, you don’t have to deal directly with customers and you can get your feet wet into the world of marketing before moving on to create your own products.

Below are 3 tips that can help you learn affiliate marketing in order to do it correctly.

Do your Research

You should not enter a niche or promote a product blindly. To have the most success in affiliate marketing, you must know how to thoroughly research a market to determine its needs. Market research will show you what niches contain desperate buyers ready to pay for an answer to their problems. Keyword research is also important in creating content and getting traffic to your site. If you just write articles and blogs with no keywords, how is anyone supposed to find them?

Avoid Direct Linking

Unless the product you are trying to sell has an extraordinary sales page that converts like hotcakes, you should not try to direct link. Direct link is where you include your affiliate link (or a domain forwarded to your affiliate link) in the resource box of an article. Creating a landing page and linking to it will allow you to “pre-sell” your visitor by giving them more information on the solution to their problem.

Affiliate Marketing can be Done for Free

Some people will tell you that you should dive right into Pay Per Click advertising if you want to make money, but this isn’t exactly true. While PPC is a great moneymaker, you can also lose a lot of cash if you do not do it correctly. It is recommended that you learn affiliate marketing using free methods when first beginning, in order to have money to reinvest in tools and programs that can help teach you the paid advertising aspects that you can incorporate in the future. Article, video, and forum marketing are three ways you can begin making money from other people’s product absolutely free.
