OK, So you wanna get hold of some of this online cash pie huh? Well, doesn’t everyone. There is a common dream that you can whack up a few websites and rake in millions of dollars with the flick of a few keys on the keyboard.

Yeah Right – wake up pal – you are dreaming!

But, you can make cash online and there are literally tons of ways to get that ‘chink’ ‘chink’ sound coming your way.

I have compiled a list. It’s not an exhaustive list – by all means I am sure there are plenty of other methods out there. However, it is a list that you can trawl through and find what works for you.

OK, Brace yourself……

AdSense.
This is an obvious one that a lot of people know about. Yes, you can make cash, but how much exactly?

Well, that is debatable.

The key to makin’ cash with AdSense is trying not to get banned after all that effort of getting traffic and getting into a good enough niche so that your clicks are BUCKS and not CENTS.

It is important you are in a good paying niche. Go to Spyfu and see if your niche pays. If it doesn’t – get out, you are wasting your time – simple as that.

Clickbank
Clickbank is a cracker!

There are tons of great products on Clickbank and tons of crap ones too. The key here is to find a product that converts. You want to look for a product that has a professional landing page. If it looks amateurish – chances are the payouts are amateurish.

Find a product you could write about as you are going to need to generate content to get traffic to your site and then refer visitors through with your Affiliate ID.

Here is a tip – Look for products that have a high gravity.

This means they are selling well.

Doesn’t mean they are easy to sell, but at least you know they are selling!

Writing Articles
Love to write? You can make money easily writing articles. It is really quite simple and if you spend some time researching how to write a good article, you will be able to charge more for each article.

Here are some tips in order of importance for a good article.

Point 1:
Write good headlines – you have a couple of seconds to get attention so your headline matters.

Point 2:
Research keywords before you write. You need to base your article on keywords that have low competition. You won’t get any traffic if you don’t.

Point 3:
Make your article interesting to read. No one is gonna read a boring article – add some character to it and some personality to make it work better for you.

Write A Blog
Can you really make money from a blog? Plenty of people do and there is no reason why you cannot. The key to making money from a blog is to write everyday.

Yep – this won’t be a walk in the park. You have to work hard to add good readable content everyday.

Another good tip. Write a couple of TOP QUALITY EXCELLENT posts – these are often called ‘pillar posts’. These get linked to by others and before you know it – you will get traffic to them.

Surveys
Money from filling out surveys – can you really get some? Well, yes you can but it is going to be very small amounts – maybe enough to buy mixed lollies at the corner store.

If you need mixed lollies, then great – go for it.

You certainly are not gonna be the next Warren Buffet by filling out surveys.

Sell Stuff
This is easier than you think.

If you get a domain at a host provider like this one – HOST CLICK HERE – you will have to pay a monthly amount to have your account.

It is not much and you get a massive amount of value with this account including free software to set up a shopping cart.

How good is this !

If you have products at home to sell, then you can simply set up your website and add a shopping cart quite easily. Then add your products and start sending traffic to your site.

You can use Paypal as a payment gateway and before you know it you could be posting goods all over the world.

Sell Photos
Got a good camera? Take snaps and load them up to one of those photography sites. There are millions of photos online, so it is important that you find a niche that has not been tapped, after all, does the world need any more sunset photos?

Become a photographer and submit your photos online. There are websites that tell you what type of photos the need – so it would be pretty easy to organize these types of shots.

All you need is a good camera, some basic training and away you go. Specialize in a particular niche and you could be on your way to making some good cash if you get the right shots.

Information Products
Creating e-books and information products can be good passive income. You need a good product, good sales page and if you are really serious a good affiliates program.

Definitely worth it for all that work.

It’s not hard to do. Having basic web and photoshop skills make it a lot easier and some knowledge about marketing and how to market your products.

Create Software
One for the nerds……..Can you create software? Ok, if you’re not a nerd, can you employ people to create software?

This is a great form of passive income but you will need to keep up with technology and also with competitors.

It could just work out to be a lot of work, but if you create something that is a hit and sell it many times over you would be on a winner.

Membership Sites
A profitable membership site can make you great passive income. Set up a recurring payment plan and then provide information on a monthly or weekly basis.

You will need great information to prevent people from canceling their memberships.

Domain Parking
Buy domains and park them. There are plenty of domains still available and they keep bringing in new domain extensions.

You can park your domains with a domain parking service and they will put ads on it for you.

You then get a portion of the money made from people clicking on ads.

Not hugely profitable for you and you might be better off setting up your own Adsense ads for your domains.

Website Flipping
This is a cracker of a money maker, although there is a lot to learn to do it successfully. Create websites and sell them on eBay. You will be surprised what people will pay for an established website and once you get your system set up you can smash those websites out pretty quick.

Yeah, ok, html knowledge is going to be a big help, but if you don’t know html by now, you really cannot speak internet language can you?

Better get cracking on learning some html……..

EBay
If you haven’t heard of EBay, you have been locked in a cupboard for about 5 years.

You can make good money with EBay, but the amount depends how you use it.

Sell secondhand goods – yep you will make cash

Sell new stuff – yep, but it will depend on your niche and competition – there is lots of it on EBay.

The biggest thing about EBay is that it gets a TON of traffic.

There are zillions of bargain hunters scratching around in EBay looking for that elusive bargain.

Freelance Contractor
Join up to sites like elance.com, odesk.com, guru.com, or scriptlance.com, and advertise your skills. You could make some decent cash.

There are plenty of jobs where you can work ‘remotely’ for someone. How about typing, writing, researching, programming, designing, translating, website work, and graphic design.

You can work from home and work for yourself. If this is attractive then – go for it, you won’t look back.
