How Can You Make Money Online -- Today, right now?

Discussion in 'General Business' started by miakiru, Sep 11, 2008.

    How can you make money online today? As in RIGHT NOW. As in get a couple bucks in your pocket before you hit the hay?

    Don't try and sell us on your products please, we'd all like to hear some genuine ideas and examples of what you can do.

    (And as far as "If we knew that we wouldn't tell you" goes, duplication is the key to a successful business. If you don't want to share your "secrets" then please don't bother posting "I'm not telling you!" to save both of us some time and sanity. Thanks <3)

    Your question sounds a little desperate a bit arrogant too. If you are asking for tips, a wee bit of humility wont do any harm :)
    From my experience, there is no short cut to make money online. The fastest I could manage was to get a freelance work on scriptlance, within 2 days of joining there. I am not sure if you are looking for that kind of stuff. Adsense arbitrage/ PPC ads for affiliate programs etc. also would make you money quick, even though there is no gurantee about it.

    I'm not asking for 'tips' I'm asking for what you guys would do if you had to make money online today, right now.

    I'm not trying to be arrogant -- I've seen these posts made before and they've always got a "Y WUD I TEL U MY EKRITS!!!!" post.

    Also, I'm not talking about $100 (necessarily), just like $5 or so. x)

    Adsense and PPC are both pretty good ways of making a few bucks today. :)

    Forum posting has been the way I've been like "I want a pizza, but my card is all the way over theeereeeee...."

    It's usually spanned out over a week or so though, and they don't pay you until the end. (Usually)

    There's plenty of ways to earn just by going to the Services forum, i'm not only talking about Writing and Forum Posting. If you can design then there's plenty of jobs people need doing.

    Unless you are willing to work dirt cheap, there are very few ways to make fast money. Writing articles or posts are a great way to earn quick money but with so many people from India willing to write for less than a penny a word, it is hard to compete. Many buyers want super cheap than bitch later when they get what they pay for.

    Unless you have design or coding skills, you will have to wait for descent offers to come in for writing jobs or wait for your blog or website to build up.

    your were right, kid - everybody is trying to sell something. Nobody actually asked what you can do? Can you do article writing? Can you do web design? Can you do virtual assistance? What can you do?

    Write a 400 words article for DailyArticle.com, submit it as a "private article" and then send an email with the article link to , they'll give you $8-12 if it gets accepted (never got a single article refused so far). If you're into writing I can tell you about much higher paying gigs as well. As a matter of fact I was thinking about selling a one-to-one Web writer training service here on DP, do you think anyone would be interested? :)

    Like simple tips for newbies~! (A little bit like me, but I'd say I'm a Newbie Level 3)

    Utilize what you have now. Barter or sell on free classified sites so that you get paid directly.
