It is a shame that Flash games have died. The death of Mochi and mobile platforms contributed to its death. That's a huge chunk of money gone, since Flash design and writing about Flash games were my primary modes of making money online.
i start making flash games 2 yrs back and add 65 games in 2013 but in 2014 it was a real bad bad news about mochi. i lost 100% from when the mochi closes small game developers like me are dead fully after this.
1. web design work - so far the 'bulk' of my income 2. various content sites - advertising revenue (adsense, banner ads from clients, sponsored articles) 3. selling premium logos and templates
The Easiest way is to visit Alibaba, purchase something that is popular, Throw it on Craigslist, Ebay, Gumtree, etc... Cost - Profit can be great. You can even choose a niche that interest's you. On ebay, check Completed listings and see if you can find out that the item actually makes profit before you purchase.
Flash hasn't really died. It's just updated, and the games now require HTML5. As for me, I sell computer registry cleaning software for money.
I run a Forum and earn money via adsense and do website development related projects from oDesk, LivePerson
Freelancing in several market places can be a good option if you have some particular skills get others' job done.
I started off with AdSense, but I quickly realized how great of a fit content writing was for me. The rest is history I suppose! TC
I blog and build forum based websites. Recently i was taken by a domain bug and bought over a dozen of domains like debate.tips, bookroom.in, cardriving.tips etc. I am also making money from the website we just launched today http://funzone.info/ I hope you can get an idea of how vast the potential is.
