So you want to start an online business. You have surfed the web, read some
blogs and have found that lots of people are making some decent mullah. But
you are frustrated due to the lack of any new idea. Don't worry. There are
still many ideas that you can implement using a little money, lots of
efforts, and some persistency.
1. Think about your hobby. What you would like to do in your spare time? May
be you like to go hunting, or scuba diving. May be you want to make dolls.
List some of the annoyances and inconveniences you encounter while pursuing
your hobby. Search in Google to find solutions to your problems and then
write a small e-book. Sell the e-book using clickbank dot com.
2. If you are an artist, crafter, or designer, check out etsy dot com. You
create your own shop by signing up for free. Listing an item with photos
cost 0.20 cents. The selling fee is 3.5% of the final sale price. You can
accept payment through PayPal.
3. Start a blog. But don't start a blog on making money. Find your niche and
sign up for free at Blogger to create your blog. You need to select a name
for your blog. Select the name of your blog carefully. Write down half a
dozen names that tell something about your blog topic. Check out those names
using the overture keyword selector tool for search popularity. Use a name
that people search at least more than a thousand times every month.
4. If you decide to use the number 3 (starting a blog) method to generate
incomes, sign up with ReviewMe, PayPerPost, and Chitika for writing paid
reviews of other companys' products and services. This will supplement your
Google's Adsense incomes.
5. If you are good at computer programming, write a simple online tool, e.g
calculating carbon foot print of your visitors, or total body fat. You get
the idea. The program should be simple to use and easy to develop. Build a
website around your tool and sign up with affiliate programs for revenue
generation.
6. If you frequently go on short trips or vacation, buy a good but small and
high resolutions digital camera for easy carrying with you all the time.
Take at least 200 pictures on each trip and put them for sale on
shutterpoint dot com. There are a few other websites where you can put your
photos for sale. Check them out by doing a Google search.
7. Participate in paid survey.But don't pay to join any program for paid
survey. Use Google to search for paid survey and visit a dozen paid survey
websites. Review their offerings and write those down. Now search webmaster
forum in Google and then sign up in a couple of webmaster forums. Ask about
others experiences with paid survey companies and pick a good one.
Now you have these seven unusual ways to make money online. You will not
make a ton of money overnight. But once you gain experiences in online money
making opportunities, you will explore other methods to earn big bucks.
