How to Earn Money Online

The Big Question! If you are starting out and have no idea how to earn money online, this article will be a great stepping stone.

As I have been earning a full time income from home for about the past 9 years, 7 of those years I strictly made money from Ebay. With all the "talk" about people making 6 figures online, I wanted to know more. Unfortunately, I did not have any friends or family earning money online so I had to try to figure it out myself.

I started with a blog, here actually, I have not even removed it. I wrote and wrote and made pocket change. I did not even earn $1. To this day blogging does not rank that high on my list of great places to earn money online, BUT I figured out why I was only earning change. I picked a wide topic, everything under the sun, pretty much and that was the biggest mistake. To make money with a Blog you must chose ONE topic, which is called a "Niche Blog." Write often and be patient. Choose good keywords and include them often in your writings. Update, 9/2011 Funny how things change. Last month blogging I made $2400. Blogging is now my main source of income. The key? Be patient! Write tons and keep writing.

The best place to earn money online? If you follow my blog you will notice I have written in greater detail about Ebay and how to earn money there. But I still do rank Ebay as #1 in places to earn money online.

Ranking #2 in how to make make money online, for me, is EHOW. You write what you know and earn money. It is residual income, so what you write today is still earning you money 6 months from now. I have been at Ehow for about 10 months and from September to January I did not write at all (due to my Ebay business being so busy) I was still making between $55 to $125 each of those months. My highest paying article there has earned me $36 dollars so far! SO, the 20 minutes of writing was well worth it.Update 9/2011 I did great here but they recently had a buyout and you can no longer earn money online here. Their father company Demand Studios is always taking apps and is legit!

Ranking #3 in how to make money online, for me, is Zazzle! You simply turn your art or photos into T-shirts, posters, Etc! You earn money on each sale. The nice thing is once you design a shirt or item, again, it is there forever and you will earn money anytime that item is bought.
