    hello everybody,

    So, moments ago, I was wondering how everybody was making so much money online & I stumbled upon a couple of articles. (about SEO, IM, micro-niches, xrumer, market samurai ... and so on)

    Right now, I have like NOTHING in my paypal account. Can I make some money individually? Like free-lance? (without micro-niche)

    Can I get any advice on this matter? What should I do to make some money? Should I reveal my real identity in this (marketing; micro-niche; SEO; IM)-thingy?

    Thank you very much for everything. I can't give you much right now, but some day I'll pay my debt.
    Right now it's just ever-lasting gratitude, that I can give you. :)

    You mention freelance, are you good at anything? Someone is always looking for article writers, forum posting, link building etc, you might not get rich overnight but its a start.

    I can do all of the above. But where can I find a market?
    I just need to make 15-20 bucks and it'll be all right.

    Buy-Sell-Trade section. Look around and see what folks are buying, and how providers are marketing their services.

    You say you are good at writing. So why not write articles of your own? Article marketing is still #1 method to generate traffic.
    You can make a good living online with affiliate marketing. Of course you will be building others' businesses but if you are just starting out, you need to make money quick so that you can build your own too.

    Try writing for an site like Squidoo or Wizzely or Hubpages first. It is absolutely free, but lets you hone your internet marketing techniques and dabble in SEO methods without risking much.

    If you like to write, there are also many sites that will either pay per article or allow you to start generation residual income on articles your write.

    If would like some advice on copywriting for SEO, then just check Google's guidelines and learn about appropriate keywords. Information is there, you just need to look for it!

    Yes, you can start with article writing, for your own websites and for others. There are a lot of people looking for talented writers. You can check oDesk or eLance for information on how much you can charge per article and the types of articles usually in demand. We also have an article on how to do affiliate marketing without a website that can help you.

    I hope that helps. Have a good day!

    Start by offering your services for something you can do for five bucks via fiverr.com.
    Then, after you have some satisfied customers, upsell them larger jobs.

    The first way I made money online was through Fiverr which is basically a site where you get paid 5 dollars to do just about anything. Whether it's creating videos, writing emails or articles, you'll get paid 5 bucks, it's a great site. My first sale on that site was for writing a 150 word email for a guy trying to make money on ebay. It's real easy stuff, you should check it out.

    If you want to make small amounts of money...listen to people making small amounts of money. If you want to make large amounts of money...Listen to Multi Millionaires and do what they do. Multi Millionaires are so loaded they can afford to pay you just for signing on to their programs!

    Fiverr, Freelancer as well as many other freelancing websites will help you get started.
    Keep an eye out on the forums like DigitalPoint as well.
    Learn a skill and use it to get paid.

    If you want some gigs, you can also go to craigslist.com and other job sites. Companies and individuals are always looking for freelance writers!! They may not pay top dollars, but you can gain exposure and experience.

    I would suggest heading over to Fiverr and offering some services there. Treat your clients well and be willing to edit things that they dont like so as to get a good review. These good reviews lead to more sales and more money. Do this until you have made $150 through fiverr and are able to withdraw at least $50.

    While you are running your fiverr gig you should be reading ALOT during your down time and figuring out what system you want to follow.

    Take that money and invest into a domain and hosting and autoresponder and start setting up your system. Continue to do fiverr in order to pay for the monthly hosting and autoresponder fees.

    I couldn't have said it any better myself at all. I recently was getting trained by a guy who helped me make a few bucks online which is what he was making and now I'm about to get trained by a guy who makes thousands. You really need to surround yourself with like-minded people--- that's the best option in my opinion if you want results quickly.

    What skill do you have. If you're good at something, for example, if you're good at programming then you can try freelance sites.

    The disadvantage of freelancing is when you have no client or person wants your service, you won't make money.

    I suggest you try affiliate marketing. It's free to join and easy, no special skill required. And use PPC to promote. Normally, you need to pay per click for PPC, but I have a method to do PPC without any investment needed.
