I have a lot of spare time where to start earning money?

Hello everyone, I've finally decided to register after a few weeks of lurking around but generally having no sense of direction.

I would like an opinion or ideas as to how I could get started.

First about me, I am a 19yo male who is running a small photography business for around 18months now, I don't get a whole heap of work but slowly am getting there.

Now I don't have many expenses, I have fast internet and a LOT of time probably 12hrs a day easy. At my current rate this won't clash with my existing business.

So if you were me what could do with 12hrs of solid work a day on the internet? There is so much potential out there yet I am lost and have no clue.

Regards.

 

Create blog about photography and daily update it with your newest projects and photos - use adsense and info-links and amazon to generate some money
This could cost you only 1hour every day
it's easy and after 3m of hard work i think you will see good $$$

 

The reason I wanted to stay clear of my business is simply that at the moment there are hundreds of photography sites running, I would have to really work hard to rise above them. Although you do have a point as photography is kind of a big fad right now I guess it does have potential for tutorials etc. Thank you.

 

Start making photography tutorial website. give free tutorial to promote it
You can offer detail or special tutorial for paid member.
However, i don't think you can directly start with it.
Build reputation first. Give some bonus, make contest, give free trial for one month, and something like that.

good luck

 

Viral content of course. Make it interesting for people who stumble upon your site not specifically interested in photography (links from other not so relevant sites etc.).

In your spare time when you're not writing, read about SEO and make your site more visible in the search engines. Later on when you have a nice amount of daily traffic you can monetize it via product sales such as amazon affiliate, your own ebook, selling advertising space to others or simply adsense at the start. Build it up gradually and increase the amounts your site (blog or whatever you decide to start) is earning. Good luck!

 

Thanks for all the suggestions thus far I shall look into each of them, but is there anything else I can do not related to my field? I tried doing surveys, I've made $10 in one week from a single site but haven't gotten any since so that's a dead end. Are the ebooks for sale on this site good for me? I would love to buy one if they are real.

 

Sorry I forgot to add, I am not looking at making $1000 a month or anything I would be happy with $100 a month, would cover my phone bill at least.

 

Do try out to sell webhosting as its very profitable business.

 

Start from what you have and what you know.

A good how-to photography site and sell your photos on the web. Work on what you like and you will never have to work at all.

 

start learning about SEO and content writing and create an account on some out sourcing website like freelancer.com and make bids on intermediate projects and get money back using reliable resources.

I think this is good way to earn money online

 

Think of a unique idea, go with it. Find the right people and make millions.

 

Make a blog, upload new and interesting photographs there.
Share your photography tips etc. Make it interesting. Apply for adsense and you will start making money.
Thanks

 

Thanks everyone once again, just an update. My friend has offered me a level 1 support role for his web hosting business. Should keep me busy now. Thanks again.

 

hahaha very funny ...........you will dude if you work hard

 

choose a fast growing niche and make a site on it ,it takes more time to get money from blogs and sites

 

why not offer your photo services to webmasters offering niche related photos to be used on websites. Put your services on fiverr as well.

Also photography related blog, you could review cameras and other related items and link them to your amazon affiliate account.

Why not advertise a service offering to take profile pics for social network sites or passport photos - advertise offline locally either in local shop, or newspaper.

 

I recommend to all noobs you start out doing something like a Clip Store. I have written several tutorials on it.

You can also do celebrity sites. Otherwise, you may be able to do some site flipping, or small blog network.

 

Yes valid idea, I will look into forums/blogging. I have unlimited hosting + domains at my disposal so that will help.

 

I see many wonderful ideas here. If someone else is in the same situation as the op than do not be afraid that some of these are done by many people. In this line of business quitting will not lead you anywhere. Making money online requires lots of work and determination. Oh, yes I forgot: lots of patience to.

Candybox, by now you probably started on some nice idea. Stick with it until it rains with money. This is my advice. Good luck!

 

Thank you all, have given out so many reps I can't give any more for another 24hrs lol. I've just had an Idea so doing research. Thanks
