One of the things that attracted me to blogging as a way to earn an income was the flexibility that it gave me and the opportunity it gives me to work from home and be involved in the lives of my young family. While my wife is the primary care giver and I’m full time as a blogger I am pretty hands on where I can be and there are days (like today) where I look after the boys.
Of course working at home – whether the work is blogging or something else – is not only a great opportunity but also a challenge. The line behind work and family can sometimes blur.
To earn online, it is not mandatory to have your own web domains and products to sell. The newly emerging trends allow you to earn online without expecting you to be a web designer or a marketing master. But the transformation from “make money” to “making money” online is the real business.
These are some of the expert’s views and suggestions to make online incomes:
- Hunt for sites which will provide good business opportunities and give a good return on your time investment. This sites associate employers with employees.
- If you are already employed, you can refer these sites to the needy and in return you are rewarded with additional profits as referral fees. Vendors set the referral fees and when the transaction occurs, you get paid.
- Several sites will pay you for writing articles and for blog posts. They provide you specific keywords to write articles and you will be paid on performance basis. Established writers may find the amount little lesser but if you are a beginner and can invest time, then it will be a great platform for you to start with. Many companies are in search of good bloggers. If you can post on their blogs actively, they will pay you either per post or on contract basis.
- You can build your personal blog either by free blogging sites or under your own domain name. You can display ads and get paid when people click on them. You can also provide links to market different items such as music, books, movies, etc., to make extra income. To make it a profitable business, you need to choose interesting topics to write on and write well.
- You can also create tropical resource hubs if you are an expert on some specific niche subject. You need to assemble down best resources from the web and put forward an overview on the topic. Some of the sites have facilities to make content finding easier. Payment depends on ad revenues and how much traffic you create.
