How to Start a Blog
Blogger is one of the most popular sites to start a blog at. It is free and simple to use.
After you decide which site is best for you to start blogging at, think about what your blog will be about.
A big mistake people make when considering to start a blog is not picking a "Niche" topic.
In other words, pick a subject you will be writing about. Perhaps it is creating cards, or maybe your blog is all about parenting. Pick a subject or Niche.
Blog as often as you can when you start out, perhaps at least once a day.
I will not get into how to make money blogging, but basically, besides creating a Niche blog, and writing often, you want to create traffic. You get paid when people click on your ads around your Blog, so the more traffic, the more money you make.
When you start a blog at Blogger they place AdSense ads around your blog, making getting started that much easier.
Start a blog, write often and be patient. Earnings do not come in quickly, but over time.

How to Make Money at Zazzle
How to make money at Zazzle
You have signed up at Zazzle and as we all are in the beginning, wondering how much money people are making and how long it takes to start making money!
First of all, there are many people at Zazzle earning a full time income, to be exact, $5000 or more a month.
But that, of course, is people who have put alot of time and energy into their Zazzle stores.
Many people say that you need at least 1000 items listed to really be making money there. I, personally, have about 500 items in my Zazzle store and up until this month have had a sale here or a sale there. This month I have made $75 in the past 10 days.
How to Make Money at Zazzle, My story and earnings
This month I did have one large order that I made over $50 on. Someone ordered T-shirts and Posters in one particular design, so I am not sure if they have a store and are going to resell them, or what the story is, but I was excited!
I started Zazzle in September, this past year, so I have been at Zazzle 7 months. The first month I did work hard getting some items up and listed, but with my Ebay Business booming before Christmas, I put Zazzle on hold, I did not add any new items from October until recently. I treat zazzle as a very part time business, thus far. I must say I see alot of potential with it though. Very little work, and the nice thing is once you design something, it is up in the marketplace forever!
My advice on how to make money at Zazzle
Be patient at first. Design as many items you can in the beginning. Out of the many places I make money at online, Zazzle is one of the few I see ALOT of potential to make money at!
How to Make Money at Zazzle, Update!
9/2011
I truly have not added many new designs since I have posted this blog. The cool part is I continue to make money. I usually average between $50 and $100 a month. It gets a bit busier around Christmas. If I continued to add new design at Zazzle, can you imagine how much money I may be making. The coolest part about the residual earnings at Zazzle is that they seem to keep going up! Yeah!

How to get Rich Online
 |
| Ahh, how to get rich online! |
Let's be honest, we all want to be rich. I, personally, have been earning a full time income online for the past 9 years. 7 of those years have been strictly selling at Ebay, and the past few years I have been trying to find other ways to become rich, or make money online.
If you have not been following my blogs, for legitimate ways to make money online, I have found that Ebay, Ehow and Zazzle seem to be the best sites for me. (Update- 9/2011 I still make money at Ebay and Zazzle but writers like myself were bought out by Ehow. I now make most of my income blogging!)
In order to get rich online, you must have a plan.
Do I think I will become rich on any of the three sites I mentioned? Well, there is a possibility, but I try to treat each of those as jobs, and faithfully work hard at each. At any of them alone you can absolutely earn a full time income.
Getting rich online takes work
If you find a "Get rich quick" idea online, you may as well forget it, if it sounds to good to be true, it is. Plain and simple. I like to not only work hard, but set monthly goals.
In order to get rich online, try new things.
Most of the sites I make money at take work, but there is no start up costs or fees ever. I recently started blogging again. I originally tried blogging and did not pick a "Niche" topic, and really made just change. I rethought my idea, researched tons and started a few Niche Blogs.
My extra chances at getting rich online
I decided to think of my blogs as "Lottery Tickets." In other words, instead of buying a lottery ticket, I would write a blog, a few times a week. I understand I have other ways to make money, and am still focusing on those, but my blog may make some pocket change, or I may hit the lottery with it and become rich. In my blogs I have Adsense ads, and I also signed up at Amazon and Clickbank. Basically I place those ads in my blog as well. So, I have three ways to make money on my blog. What motivates me now on my blog is knowing I may become rich online or I may have some days when I just when $20 from "my lottery." (Update 9/2011. I now only use Google Adsense on my blogs and last months earnings were $2400.)
The best way to get rich online is to work hard. If you know sites or have ideas that work well, try them. Be serious and treat your online business seriously, like a job. Even if you do not end up becoming rich, you can absolutely make a nice living online!
I am still not rich by any means, but I absolutely make great full time income. My businesses continue to grow. Last month, as I mentioned I made $2400 blogging, $75 at Zazzle and $800 at Ebay. Although Mahalo is no longer residual, I still earn money there working every day which usually comes out to about $500 a month. Not rich, but since I am not even the technical bread winner in my family, not too bad!

How to Make Money on Ebay
You may want to sell on Ebay part time, or you may want to earn a full time income on Ebay.
This article will give you the tools and show you how to make as much money as you would like at Ebay!
Prior to signing up at Ebay, sign up for free at Paypal. This is where you will be recieving your money from buyers at Ebay.
Sign up for free at Ebay. They will ask for your email address at Paypal and this way your accounts will be set up and you are ready to sell.
Start selling on Ebay! Go through your house and sell unwanted items first. If you want to turn this into a full time business you may shop in bulk or buy wholesale items and resell them on Ebay for a profit, but better than that option is to start going to garage sales every week. Buy things cheap and resell them on Ebay. Garage sales are wonderful, you can often find a .50 cent item and turn it around and sell it on Ebay for $30 or more! There is a little bit of a learning curve to figure out what sells good on Ebay and what does not. But for .50 cents, you cant go wrong. Worst case scenario is you resell it for a few bucks and you are still out ahead!

How to Earn Full Time Income Online
How to Earn Full Time Income Online
Update! 9/2011 I thought it was interesting to go back to my old posts and see where I started. I now earn about $2400 a month just from blogging, $500 a month from Mahalo, about $1000 a month from Ebay and between $50 a month from Zazzle. As I mention below, be patient at first!
The truth is there is no get rich quick program online, so any site that offers a full time income immediately is most likely a scam. However, like with any job, if you work hard you absolutely can earn a full time income from home. Like anything, the more you put into your business, the more money you can make.
The nice thing about earning a full time income from home, is you can keep your day job and start working online just a few hours a week, or if you have just lost your job, work full time.
In this article I am going to save you alot of blood sweat and tears. Instead of spending months to years trying to figure out what sites really pay, I am going to share what sites I earn money at, and a few places that are not worth it.
Tip #1 to earn a full time income from home.
Do not put all of your eggs in one basket. Try a few different ways to earn a full time income from home. At each of these, you can earn a full time income and many people do. But, it is nice to see what you are best at. In the back of my mind, I know if one site shuts down unexpectedly, I am ok. I have income coming from a few different sources.
Write from home and earn a full time income.
I did start out blogging and you may read some people do earn a full time income blogging, but my opinion is there are better ways to earn money alot quicker. Maybe blogs pay well, but 10 months down the road, I am not seeing it. Write at Ehow. Ehow is perfect for the beginner or established author. It is as easy as blogging and although you have to be patient the first month, earnings start coming in pretty quickly. Full time earners there are making $2000 a month. Ehow ranks #1 in my book. All of the rest of the sites I have tried pay, but not as well. Not even close. To name a few legitimate sites I write at or have written at: Bukisa, Associated Content, Firehow, Hubpages. Other writing for the more experienced, Examiner, About.com Constant Content. Update, as I mentioned, blogging is now my number one source for income. Ehow has closed their doors but Demand Studios is their father company and a great place to earn full time income at.
Sell at Ebay and earn a full time income.
If you read my blogs, Ebay is where I earn a full time income alone, in another blog post here I show ways to earn a full time income.
Turn your photos or artwork into T-shirts, Posters, Invitations, mugs etc at Zazzle and earn a full time income.
Zazzle is exciting, no fees to you and endless earnings. Click here to go to Zazzle At Zazzle, people are earning up to $5000 a month and beyond, You can absolutely earn a full time income here!!
Worth mentioning.
Lulu is a great place to write and publish a book or E-book for free, you earn money when someone buys your book and so does Lulu. It is perfect for the beginner! If your book is good enough, who knows! You could earn a full time income online here!

How to Earn Money Online
Poster I made at Zazzle! See Link Below!
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.
Click Here for Zazzle Update! I now earn bewteen $50 and over $100 month here without adding anything new. Love it!
Both Ehow and zazzle are free to sign up (You never have to PAY a cent), and perfect for the beginner.
Another site that deserves mentioning on how to earn money online is:
Lulu- write and publish a book or Ebook for free!

Blogging For the Beginner, Making Money
If you are not a beginner, no need to read this post.
Although I have been selling on Ebay for 9 years, Blogging and making other sources of income online, are still new to me. I realize there is so much to still learn.
I was remembering wanting to make money online, but had no idea of where to start- FOREVER. I really had no idea. I did start blogging, but had it all wrong. You can see my first Blog here and it includes everything from crafting to UFC fighting and everything in between. I know now that was WRONG. You hear people say write a Niche Blog. What that means is pick a topic. One topic. For example the title if my blog here is Make Money on the Internet legitimately. Each of my blogging articles is about ways to make money online.
Blogging For the Beginner, Making Money Where to start blogging?
Blogger is a great place for the beginner, and not just my opinion, I have read it over and over again.
Once you have figured out your blog title or Niche, sign up and begin writing.
How you make money Blogging, for the beginner:
In a nutshell, you get paid from the ads on your blog and people clicking on them. Blogger makes it easy to have AdSense ads on your blog. Then, here at blogger you can click "Layout" and place more ads on your Blog easily.
Take it a step farther. Sign up at Clickbank & Amazon and you can put ads on your blog from each of them. If people buy things from Amazon or Clickbank, you earn a percentage. Update 9/2011 I did not want to edit this article Blogging For the Beginner, Making Money too much. I like to see where I started and it is great for you to see, as well. I now only use Google Adsense on my blogs. And PS! It took many years but my earnings are way up to higher than I hoped for. When I wrote Blogging For the Beginner, Making Money, I had the right ideas. Be patient and just keep writing. I now earned $2400 last month!

US PATENT I927287
ONE IS 6" OTHER IS ALMOST 6 1/2"
They just sold on a buy it now for:

Sell on Ebay and Make Money
Sell on Ebay & Make Money
My main source of income is from Ebay. I have been selling on Ebay for 9 years, and the past 3 of those years I have been a trading assistant at Ebay (which means, I sell for other people and earn a percentage off each item)! I do earn a full time income just on Ebay, but I would love to come to the point in life where hubby gets to quit his job and I earn enough money to support us all and our way of life. That is why I started expanding and learning other ways to make money on the internet.
Starting out at Ebay, prior to selling on Ebay, I was too scared to even begin. I wanted to sell on Ebay, just thought I would not be able to do it. I paid someone to show me the ropes. It took about 3 hours and then went home and was able to do it on my own.
Ways to make a full time income at Ebay.
Start by selling things in your own home you do not need.
Then I get the question, what next? Should I buy from a wholesale company? My answer is no. That may work fro some people, but honestly, with the economy the way it is, there are better ways to make more money on Ebay.
Go to garage sales, buy things super cheap and make a ton of money. This sounds too easy to be true. I have story, after story on the money I have made doing this. I will share just 2 examples. Last year I bought a Prada wallet for .75 cents at a garage sale and turned around and sold it for $73.99. Years ago, I came across a garage sale with "Boyds Bears" I knew Boyds bears sold well, but I had no idea of how much money I would make. I ended up spending every dime in my wallet and bought boxes and boxes of Boyds bears (keep in mind, this was before the economy went bad) I ended up spending about $40 and I made over $5000. This type of thing does not happen rarely, but more like often. It will be a learning experience, you will learn what sells good and what does not and that takes time. But if you are spending .50 cents on the item, you know you can for sure turn around and resell it for $2.00 atleast, so there is nothing to lose and so much to gain.
In my 9 years selling on Ebay, I have never bought wholesale. Like, I mentioned, if you have time to go to garage sales, it is silly not too.
I have written 2 articles at Ehow on how to start selling on Ebay. I will include the link. I have taught probably 10 people to sell on Ebay, in person. Just in my spare time. It is easier than you think, and they pretty much guide you step by step.
If you can not click the links, simply copy the link and paste it in the google search bar. The information is free for the taking!
