Here is a money making list for novice entrepreneurs 1. Sell advertisement space 2. Sell ebooks 3. Sell products 4. Sell affiliate products 5. Sell on ebay 6. Write for websites such as about.com and sitepoint.com which pay for articles 7. Sell ad space on your posts in forums if you have a good reputation (hehe I can't do that!) 8. Set up an article directory for paid inclusion of linked articles 9. Set up paid directory 10. Set up membership only directory and use and send advertisement emails 11. Blog at soulcast.com with your adsense for money 12. Join an ad revenue sharing forum 13. Advertising with emails 14. Set up a get paid to read email website. Then join a pay per lead network which allows incentives for advertisments and send emails to members with those pay per lead offers. Pay them 1 cent for the email and keep the rest 15. Blog for dollars 16. Become a consultant in some subject and charge money for advice 17. Teach english, you'll be amazed how many people will pay to learn 18. Start your own digg network with pligg and then use advertisements to make loads of money 19. Become a ghost writer 20. Sell ebooks with resell rights 21. Start a article selling website. Get people to write articles and then sell them to people who want original content. Delete the articles after one purchase. Keep 50% and give the writer 50% 22. Start a website where people can sell their goods and take a certain commision for each sale. 23. Start a payment gateway. Get a merchant account and then use scriptlance or rent a coder to get a person to code you a script which allows you to keep track of orders. 24. Seek jobs at web hosting companies. They often have open slots for customer support and sales support. 25. Get software coded at scriptlance and then sell it. Remember marketing is the key. All products exist it's how you market them that gives you the visitors. For example, file upload has been around for a long time. If you say "buy file upload space" people will laugh. Tell me "you can access your pc from anywhere" and the will buy your product. Market, Market! I am tired. The rest of the list later.
I also knew about a lot of these. I didn't know sitepoint paid for articles though. Rep added for the effort.
They pay you $50 for a normal article and $100 for a featured article. Here is the link http://www.sitepoint.com/about/writeforus Additionally, devshed.com also pays for articles. And I once wrote a computer tips article for worldstart.com and got paid $50. They also pay for computer tips articles not published before. They even pay $65 for really good articles. Here is the link to the worldstart.com page where you can find more information on submitting articles to get paid http://www.worldstart.com/writers-guidelines/index.htm
I plan on doing all of them, although right now I am with the first one. The reason is because I just started this online money making thing. I am a 4th year medical student and am not really interested in making money as a doctor so I came online recently. So right now I only have one website. But within 5 years I hope to have done all. I program so I do not need to use scriptlance. Wish me luck!
wow! amazing list , I think this is the most common question in dp that almost everyone ask. I think it should be made sticky. Reputation added. Thanks in advance!
If you are planning on selling weather its a real product or digital i advise everyone to use NOC Merchant Account
This is a good list of acts, to start a online business. Even better who is about to initiate into this field. Thanks, and best of luck mate.
Nice list.. What if everyone could done every single thing that listed.. would we really make the real money online? I mean 3-5K per month..
rather a simple way to learn and earn is through websites such as mywallst.net that offers members possible grand per wk if they come out at the top on that "rookie challenge".... easy stuff right?
Good post, appreciate your effort building this list. Just wondering, how did you build it, have you been trying those or maybe most of them? What I was a quite surprised is you mentioned about article selling website, I am working something about this and as I know there aren't many people playing on this (yet), or am I wrong? do you know any websites on this business? I know some of them like CC, CT, AC (for anyone who don't know these sites, just visit copywriting forum ), well I want to know if there are others. Sorry for a bit OOT, oh... and I'm also waiting the list to continue
