Great Money Making Ideas

The economy is off the rails. Extra money is just not easy to find. I’ve been there more times than I care to admit. You know how the month ends way after the money did? Well, I’ve listed below some easy ways to put some dollars back in your account.

Fill a room or your garage with all the things you own that you don’t use or can do without. If you don’t already have a digital camera, borrow one and start photographing your things for sale on craigslist or eBay. Don’t overlook items you can replace later that are just gathering dust. The more you have to sell, the more chances you have to bring in some money.

You can also offer this as a service for others in your area. Post flyers around town noting how successful your auctions have been, include some photographs and your email address/contact info. You can either list each product for a fee or take a percentage of the selling price.

I’ve said it on other pages here but it bears repeating. Write. Simple, well written 350 word articles written about a popular subject can pull in $5+ each at Associated Content. It’s possible to crank out ten to fifteen of them in a day. Those articles can then be recycled as blog posts or website pages.

Use some of the money you earn from writing to buy a domain name and get a host for your new site (or blog). Drop a few affiliate links or some advertising on it (check Google’s AdSense program). If it starts to earn money, that’s gravy, ’cause you already got paid from the sites listed above. You can then sell it for a profit, usually about ten times its monthly average income.

Sign up with clickbank.com and promote their products as an affiliate. If you can’t afford your own site, use free sites like blogger and squidoo. Build those blogs or pages with your previously sold articles (remember to keep the rights to your articles when you sell them) and set up AdSense on them if its allowed by the site owners’ terms of service.

Re-write your articles with a new introduction and conclusion. Reword the middle paragraphs a bit and submit them to free article directories with links back to your free blogs where you have your affiliate links and advertising. Use social bookmarking and networking to create more links and traffic.

With a little thought, and some work, you can create money online with these and other resources. Investigate thoroughly any claims that you can earn hundreds or thousands in a few days after ‘joining’ a program. It’s best to keep your hand on your wallet while you check those offers out.
