    Ok, I know that people can earn money online but that needs time, devotion, dedication and you have to treat it seriously.

    But, you can't quit your day job until you start making some decent money online.

    Currently I'm going through financial problems. Let me first introduce myself I'm only 21 and I'm from Pakistan. I don't have money to invest as I'm barely able to run my home. I can't have paypal account or join affiliate program like clickbank etc.

    I'm doing a job and working 13 hrs a day and earning 150$ a month. I need to earn $300 a month atleast just to cover my household expenses.

    I have just started a blog http://freefunny-videoclips.blogspot.com and looking to add content and build traffic so that I can monetize that traffic with advertising. That's what my plan is currently to earn income online.

    What I want to ask is how much time you give to you online bussiness? And any advices for me? Am I on the track? or can I do something better than this to earn around $300 per month.

    I see people over here upto $50 per day so I'm sure you can advice me what I should do.

    Also, I can't give too much time as I spent half of my day at job, 4-6 hrs of sleep than I have to study as well.

    I'm so confused on what should I do :(

    Hey mehboobmeghani. First of, your very right when saying i-net marketing requires a lot of time, dedication and patience. However, the time you seem to dedicate to your website, can't possibly lead to something profitable(also your niche is very hard to get successful, there are thousands of 'funny videos' blogs). What i suggest is to find a niche that is suitable to your passions and that is less crowded, some keyword research is required, which you might find the time to do in the weekends. What i would do if i were you right now is start looking for a new job, as i think your seriously underpaid for 13 hours of work, at least find a standard 8 hour workplace. That's about all i can advise right now.

    Choose something in which you know a lot.

    Alternatively, you could write articles and post in forums (see the buy/sell/trade forum -> services -> content creation) to make a little bit of extra cash.

    Dedicate as much time as you possibly can into websites, but if that's not very much, you may want to look at ways to decrease your monthly spending.

    As Hannah said, article writing would probably be your best bet. If you are a fast typer, you can make somewhere around $10.00 per hour. You can go to the Buy, Sell, and Trade section for content writing jobs. There are always bloggers and website owners out there that are looking for such services. You appear to have good English, so you should be rather successful. :)

    Thanks for your great advice..

    I also considered my selling my services online like content writing or submission services etc will be more suitable for as I don't know how good a writer I'm to be honest. But the problem is how would I do transactions? I can't open a paypal account or any other account as they don't accept Pakistan :s

    Hmm.. go for a market that's less crowded.. well yes you right but I don't want to drop this site, I have put so much effort into it so far. I have done much of SEO work but my blog is at no 2 spot for the keyword: "Indian sexy funny video clips" and there is some tough competition for that.

    And I believe funny video is such a site that if you market it properly you can get 10k uniques a day it will take time of course because this thing appeals general people. And most of the people are looking for entertainment especially sex that's a billion dollar market.

    Any ways what I was saying I can't get a paypal account so how can I sell my services online?

    How much time you guy spend on your ebiz? How many sites you own? How much you make daily?

    mehboobmeghani,

    Definitely, drop the video site and go for niche sites with adsense ads. They are so much easier to get high rankings for. Do your homework and you will be able to get numerous sites going quickly.

    You would be better off with 10 sites making something as opposed to waiting for a video site to hit. You may be waiting forever.

    All the best,

    Hmm.. so here is the formula I should work on so far:

    Search for a market with less competition and build a small site around that market. Have adsense as my source of income. Promote the site and move for the next one.

    But, how to come up with the market with less competition?
