    Sorry if my post is not related in this topic.

    I need some help here. I would like to know if there is any online business I can go for to earn some income?

    Currently my full time job earning is very very little that I cant even pay all my bills.

    I hope someone could give me some idea like what type of business to setup.
    eg: hosting? selling products?

    sorry, kind of new but hope someone could guild me along :(

    I would agree with Sat21. Then again, if you need some money badly you create a few blogs with blogger/wordpress etc and earn some money from them. Since you are new in this, its gonna be very tough.

    You need to do something your love and are knowledgeable. You can't just go into web hosting (as an example) if you know nothing about that industry, just because people say there is money in it.

    Thanks guys for the info.

    I do agree but I am upset that I cant do blog to earn money since most of them using google adsense to earn money, but my account has been locked :(
    I cant go on with it.

    I love dropshipping but arent sure where to find the products and type of items to sell. For both local and overseas.

    You could try affiliate marketing. Go to blogger.com and create a free blog about something you are interested in. Then do a search on digital point for CPA programs. They will pay you when someone does something so simple as submits there email and they will have a lot of offers to choose from. For a CPA program I chose rocketprofit.com because I like them, but there are many to choose from. You can also use search function of DP to find directories to submit to and ideas about traffic and advertising to your blog.

    hello hippo dance,
    you could go clickbank way..just search "clickbank" in this forum and read important threads, you will get 100% info regarding how to succeed in clickbank.

    i have read few threads and i have found them to be amazing.

    search "clickbank"..read the threads and take action.

    Crucial part is taking action.

    You can sell anything on internet for any price, you only need to take action.

    Good luck for whatever you decide.
    Be Blessed.

    It's up to you what kind of business you want to raise online. You can try affiliate sites or blogging with adsense. But it takes time before you can earn money.

    create a blog, fill it with quality and unique content about something money making (for example fashion, or something you're interested in), get some visitors and maybe someone will pay you for advertisments.

    Thanks. But I dont really understand how clickbank works.
    I remembered I do have the account.
    Maybe you could give me some idea what it is about?

    For adsense, my account has been locked long ago, wonder if we allow to create one more and make sure nothing will goes wrong with it again?

    It would take a very long time to set up an online business becuase you need to learn about marketing and alot more things

    i would personally start here : freeforums.org

    set up a forum and learn how to advertise and so on

    but you would probbally be better getting a second job in the real world as making a business will take up so much time

    Firstly a niche you want to choose must be interesting for you and of course popular...But you have to choose on your own...Find a tool that shows the most popular niches in the Internet

    I can help you out with that! I've dropshipped a lot and this is the best place to find dropshippers:

    http://www.wholesalecentral.com

    look for the dropshippers link.

    Most of them are free, and some offer paid memberships. Start out with free memberships, and slowly move on to paid memberships once you start making profits.

    I suggest you start on ebay, and then move on to ProStores (by ebay) which combines ebay and the rest nicely.

    If you have any questions, PM me ;)

    You don't have to stop at Ebay either. I was checking around because I don't like all the fees on Ebay and became interested in sell.com and amazon.com auctions. For sell.com they charge a flat rate of $1, but there are no final value fees, and if your item doesn't sell you can continue it for up to a year with no further fees. With amazon.com they charge slightly more, but you never pay anything at all unless your item sells. That seems like a good deal, because you can waste so much money on Ebay with items that don't sell. It used to be so easy to sell on Ebay, but lately it's not as good, at least in my opinion. If you get into dropshipping it might be good to diversify and sell at a few different places.

    If you are still interested in Clickbank, I have seen some sellers creating Clickbank ads in the classified section of Ebay as well. You can post a classified on Ebay for $9.95 for 30 days. To be honest, not sure if Ebay likes clickbank ads in the classifieds section, but I've seen many people do that, and there probably making good money with the high Ebay traffic.

    "if there is any online business I can go for to earn some income?"

    There are many ways to make money money. I suggest you start doing work at freelance sites. This is a free and easy way to make money online.

    I would suggest you try bum affiliate marketing, you can do it without spending any money, though you'll get better results if you do have some money to spend.

    Look around DP for threads dealing with this.

    I'm assuming you have hosting already. If not, get set up.

    Find/Buy some cheap PLR product. If you do not know what it is, search the forum. The easiest product to sell is in the "make money online" niche.

    Make a website selling the product really cheap like $10 or $7.

    Start an adwords campaign, or if you do not want to invest any money. . .go to craigslist and post in the small business section.

    I get a lot of traffic that way. It also helps create backlinks to your site.
