$20 a day - whats the quickets/easiest way?

    Maybe a dumb question I don't know. I'm looking for easier/quicker ways to earn $20 a day. Why? Because the wife wants us both to get part time jobs on top of our full time jobs so we have some extra money. Unfortunately, most part time jobs where I live will pay you roughly $7 an hour so I would have to put in 20-30 hours a week to get some decent money. Don't get m wrong, I'm not lazy but I'm trying to convince my wife internet marketing would be smarter. Anyhow, here's what I've done so far with limited success.

    Adsense - I've set up a couple sites using decent, relatively low competition keywords. I've maintained a decent CTR (20%-25% range). I know I need more traffic to increase my revenue from a couple dollars a day up to where I would like it. I know how I can increase traffic (Adwords, etc not an option) but obviously this takes time - more of a medium range project for me at this time.

    Clickbank - Similar to Adsense, need traffic to make decent money.

    I've tried marketing on YouTube, Craigslist, etc with limited success. I've even tried dropshipping on eBay, etc - again with limited success. Anyone have some insight on how to make roughly $20 a day relatively quickly? Once I get the $20 a day going then I can focus in getting more traffic to my sites by writing articles, etc. Any help would be appreciated...

    quickest... probably article writing... easiest... not really easy, it requires some work, but not too bad. Probably about 4-5 hours worth of work per day and you could do it. There is many mroe people around here putting in more work than that for pennies. ;)

    I agree with the article writing. If you write well, you could easily charge $6-$8 for an article.

    No offence, but get a job that isn't online. Save up and really put some money into something

    Or learn a skill like SEO / Copywriting / Website Design and put it to some use

    Try with proxies. You just need a network of 10 proxies and you'll make 20$/day.

    Start a blog, and write 1 or 2 articles a day. Submit each article to every social bookmarking site you can think of. If you know how to write good copy, and your blog is optimized for adsense, you will be making 20 bucks a day in no time. The great thing about this strategy, once you start making 20 bucks a day, and you keep writing good content, you will keep making more and more!

    Nice advice dadougalee!

    Find a topic you really like and just write about it. This way it wont seem like effort and you can make afew bucks on the side.

    Once you start earning $20 per day save up the cash, get a few hundred dollars and create a product to sell alongside your blog/site. If you sell an ebook for $20 youd only need 100 visitors a day to make that sort of money yet youd need approx 2000 visitors to make that with adsense (assuming aconversion rate of 1% of course)

    Good Luck :D

    tonybogs,
    save a few hundred bucks and create an ebook? Would you pay someone to write it for you or something?

    While I generally do not recommend eBay for people wishing to have an online career, it could be a good avenue for you and your wife to make an extra $20-50 per day. Do some research on eBay as to what people are selling in the form of used items. It would be best if you could find products that you and your wife know and would buy yourself. Then go to yard sales, tag sales, etc., and buy the same stuff cheap. Then put up auctions on eBay and mark the products up to what others are paying for the same item on other eBay auctions. A $20-50 per day profit is very do-able and it would not be that much work for you. And your wife will probably like shopping for new items to sell on the weekends.
