A Stupid Question but many of us are interested

I’ve seen many ‘free online money making questions’ repeatedly but I can’t blame you for trying to ask the same. Your question is definitely not stupid and if you’re looking to earn $5-$10 a day without investment then you can check the marketplace (BST thread) of this forum and see what these guys are looking for. Usually, you can earn that amount by offering articles or graphics. For online surveys however, it depends on your country. There are many legitimate online survey sites today but it would be hard to earn $5 daily.

 

Without investment is really hard. You know I say the less you spend the more you earn, but I say that because people spend without real goals and skills.

So I suggest to spend a specific amount of money, showing reason and skills in your judgement, and cutting all useless expenses.

Considering this as starting point, you need a website to begin, so this is your first task, domain and hosting. Then you can add specific tools to help you reaching your goals.

Do you need to spend for PPC advertising? maybe, but always showing reason and skills. So learn all you can about PPC advertising before spending money.

What I always suggest as the easy way to make money online is Affiliate Marketing. As you see, there is a very little investment, then it's all about your skills, your motivation and desire to succeed.

 

We definitely agree that blogging is a great business. As a office supply company, we keep a blog on Wordpress. It may be slow in starting to grow your blogging business but as long as you keep posting fresh material and interacting with the blogging community, you can develop a successful blog. Brands enjoy interacting with bloggers and may even sponsor a blogger to review their products or discuss their brand! Good luck

 

Here are all my suggestions, all are legit companies and no investment required

That isn't a stupid question, many people around the world wanted to ask question like you did.. ! Online world is the best place for the jobless people, retired people to enhance their skills and build their new career !!! There are plenty of ways to earning money without investing a penny. But it is very difficult to know which survey site, data entry site is genuine.

If you are good in programming or content writing, then why don't you try blogging for free? You no need to invest + will earn more than $100 per month (depends on your hard work). AdSense and Affiliate marketing are the mean machines to boost your online income!!

 

Well, it looks to me your asking rate ($3/hr) is quite reasonable considering your English writing is acceptable. Many clients hire offshore virtual assistants at these rates, especially for jobs like social media management/marketing, some web research, blog posting, etc. Typically, you'll just need decent English, knowledge of WordPress, and high speed internet connection...
If you are still looking (and satisfy the requirements listed above) ping me in a month or so, I may have something for you.

 

anyway, I think that you always need to invest a small sum of money, as example to have your website. You can work as freelancer and it's ok, but you need an external profile, or blog. Practically your headquarters.
