Lets make money, ONLINE!

Searching for an effective way to earn some pocket money from the internet? Type Earn Online on Google and voila! A million results smile at you, each one promising you a fortune by just filling out survey forms. You click on one such link and they ask you to register for $20. Or maybe order their instruction kit for $40. Yes, my friend, there is no free lunch.

The virtual world is littered with crooks these days who make use of every opportunity to extract money from you. So when you think you’re registering to earn a fortune or ordering the manual kit for details on how you can be the next big internet entrepreneur, these crooks laugh at you, not to mention pocketing your money at the same time.

So here’s an advice : Never sign up for an online institution that charges you a fee.

So are there legitimate ways that can help one earn money? I say Yes Sir!

• Blogging : Blogging is a wonderful way of earning money, and more so because of the absence of any third-party in the system. With the advent of Blogger and WordPress, blogging has never been easier, not to forget, absolutely free! Create some mind-blowing content, sign up to Google AdSense, sit back and relax! Google will take care of everything, handing you an handsome amount by the end of the month. Too good to be true, isn’t it? Indeed it is! You need to have a steady traffic to earn that handsome amount.
• Freelance Writing : Another great way of earning money for creative people. The main objective for these kinds of job is to create quality content for different organizations. While there are several online portals that offer this kind of jobs, there are plenty that operate offline too. The catch? The fee is lower than what an established writer should expect. But if you’re a college student or even an high-schooler, it’d suffice as pocket money.
• Photography : People these days are now going gaga over photography. A DSLR sling to the shoulder, now everyone is a photographer! If you too belong to that everyone, why not earn something through your photography? Just register to a free photography site like ShutterStock or iStockphoto and they’ll pay you everytime your photo gets downloaded by an user.
• Hawk Your Skills : Another great way of earning some quick bucks, you can advertise your skills over sites like Fiverr that gets you paid $5 at completion of a gig!
• Do the old survey filling : Though most of the survey jobs available online nowadays are scams, there are a few that really pays money at completion of surveys, though its  a very mediocre amount. SurveySavvy is one such site that lets you earn some money off filling survey forms and by referring their site to your friends via social plugins.
• Sell old stuff on eBay : Have a lot of old and unused stuff? Sell ’em on eBay! What is useless to you maybe is priceless for somebody else. And what’s more? You can earn some good amount in the process!

So here’s my list on how you can earn online. Think you know another foolproof way of earning some extra bucks? Tell me your ideas here and I’ll add them too in this list, of course with due acknowledgement to you. And for everyone else, Happy Earning!

Earn Online : Is It True?

Ever came across an ad claiming huge incomes just from filling up stupid forms? Or maybe getting free cell phone recharges for completing surveys? Too good to be true, ain’t they?

Get ready ‘cos I’m going to shatter your dreams :

NONE OF THE STUPID SURVEY JOBS GET YOU PAID. THE THIRD PARTIES JUST USE YOU TO GET THEIR WORK DONE.

And it’s not really that hard to figure out either. I mean, if you think about it, ever wondered if we can make thousands of dollar doing some simple jobs from home,then why the hell they’re putting so much effort on selling a $20 service to you? They could have easily made more than that doing those ‘simple jobs’.

Lets discuss why the concept of online earning was conceived in the first place. That will give you a clear understanding.

Online jobs were first invented by big world-wide companies having only one thing in mind: Saving Money. Big companies need a lot of advertising in order for them to keep growing and expanding all over the world. Doing this offline (ie. television, radio, banners, etc.) costs a whole lot of money. Since the internet had grown exponentially by the year 2000, the entrepreneurs that were aware of this new source had the big idea.

The internet had expanded so much that it was reaching all kinds of markets and nations. So, it happened. The big entrepreneurs made this new concept of advertising that would cut their expenses by 70%! It involved common internet surfers to work for them for a fraction of the cost that they used to pay. Of course, this kind of pay was enough for the average person to make a living from home.

The truth is some people online have seen an opportunity to rip other people off. And that is exactly what I am going to warn you about. With this new concept in place and big companies hiring people online to work for them and paying a very decent amount of money online, there are some crooks online who had another idea behind this.

If you have ever tried or joined any of these scams, you should know by now how they work. Google has this advertising system that is called Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a very profitable tool, but you have to know what you are doing. Anyway, the important point here is that the scammers I am telling you about tell you that you will be paid hundreds or even thousands of dollars a day only by typing jobs. And that is not the truth.

They send you to Google AdWords and tell you to make an account with them and put up some ads. I will tell you how Google AdWords work. AdWords is a system to advertise on Google’s search engine. If you go to Google.com and type something to search for, you will see some “sponsored ads” to the right; those are Google AdWords.

Those ads are not free. You have to pay a few cents everytime someone clicks on your ad. And that, my friend, is not even close to the things they promise on their website. AdWords can be very rewarding and you can make a lot of money, but you have to learn how to do it and these scammers don’t tell you how. Of course, you didn’t want to do AdWords in the first place.

That is why online jobs are not as trusted as they used to be anymore. Back in 2000, everyone who’d jumped on the opportunity was very happy to be earning a nice income from the comfort of their own home. But now the scammers have defaced the concept and people don’t trust online jobs anymore.

So what is the future of online earning? 

I invite you to dig deeper into this topic. You may wonder: “Are there still any legitimate online jobs available that really pays?”. I say yes. Read on here!
