How to EARN while ONLINE?

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by AHL, Oct 20, 2007.

    i have been an internet user since the 90's. basically just surfing and chatting. nowadays i just hang around forums and stuff. i even have my own forum but it's just a free forum site. before i had my own domain name and got an ip board but the money just went out without any going in. so i just scratched my previous site and got a free forum.

    now here's my question. without any background in any computer related stuff or course. how can i earn while online? since most of the day i'm online anyways. can anyone help me out? :)

    yep you can, most program like adsense don't need you to pay a dime to start. You can start off blogging on blogger / wordpress its free or start offering services on DP marketplace ;)

    Total amount of investment $0. Profit: Depends on how hard you work on it! Earning online ain't magic, but with dedication and lots of coffee you can earn and make a decent living or if you good you can even live in comfort ;)

    okay if i do start blogging what is the thing that i should do? do i have to have an interesting life for example? just blog about day to day activities? or can you suggest any other thing i can do with a blog?

    i'm asking this coz there are a thousand perhaps millions of blog sites right now. are all of them earning? what is the sure fire way for a blog to generate income? and how?

    You can target a niche, find a topic that you know you can write about, research the topic see how many people are doing it or if any are doing it. Check their blog out, see what they are doing, research where they are getting traffic from.

    Marketing is the key to success and content is the key to retention. Without traffic, your blog might as well be password protected. Without retention, you end up trying to market your site non-stop. With a good retention value, you find that you will have more time on writing content rather than marketing your blog :)

    You can do personal blogging, though it helps to have a few friends though I don't really have any experience on making $$$ from personal blogging ;)

    A forum like blogging requires you to find a niche though you can find a general topic, though the key factor are still the same, marketing and retention value!

    whoa... i'm getting one thing clear... it ain't easy that's for sure...

    if i do try out blogging which service or site has the best to offer? it's free right?

    if you have no experience from making $$$ from personal blogging then do you earn in other ways online? or is it too advanced for a newbie like me to understand... if so i'll stick with the blogging thingie...

    I am no guru nor do I claim to earn allot online, hey I still still need to work 3 jobs to sustain my lifestyle and education ;) Unless you can find a good niche and done you research, yeah why not start blogging. There are many free blog platform you can choose from:

    blogger.com
    wordpress.com

    or you can google for free blog host / free blog.

    I started creating a website for a gaming community, from than on I maintain a few entertainment website which suits me.

    1st... but there are sites that have very long url's right? :confused:

    2nd... well i tried getting my own domain name before, got webhosting plus the fact that i used an ip board...

    well trying to maintain that before required money... and besides i only made my previous site for the purpose of creating a community and not to earn money.

    well is it possible for a forum to earn money? if so then i guess getting loyal members will be my first priority?

    all i want to do is to just make some money lately...

    Well, the reason I say it's on the sidelines is because I don't commit my entire time on it. I only maintain it when I have the time and energy.

    you can goto: http://wordpress.com/

    flexibility in terms of how you want your site to look like and how easy it is to achieve it, or you can just go for a free hosting solution and upload wordpress to that hosting provider. Some will have a one click installer, if not you can download it @ wordpress.org.

    You can see the blog that is set up by wordpress, on wordpress.org. Oh the last thing I forget to mentioned is, if u want a domain, tat's the only part that cost money if not you can use a subdomain wordpress gives you and its free.
