5 Ways to Earn a Living Online

October 3, 2012 by Emma Morgan

Earning Online-

In today’s economy, more people than ever are looking for ways to earn a living from the comfort of their own home. As people find it increasingly difficult to find work outside of the home, earning a living online becomes more attractive. If you’ve found yourself unemployed and struggling to find work, or if you just want a way to put a little more money in your bank account each month, finding a source of income online can be just what you’re looking for. Here are five of the best ways to earn a living online:

1.Customer Service

Companies across the country hire virtual call center representatives to perform customer service tasks. While some of these companies restrict their independent contractors to a set schedule, many allow you to set your own hours. Even better, many allow you to schedule yourself in short blocks of time, allowing you to easily work around your other commitments.

2.Write Articles

If you like to write, becoming a freelance writer may be the best work-at-home gig that you can find. Whether you choose to write for a content mill site or venture out on your own, writing articles for websites can be very lucrative. If you write for content mill sites, you can reasonably expect to earn anywhere from $4.00 to $11.00 per article. If you go it on your own, you can set your own prices and, as a result, will earn more money.

3.Build a Website

If you have something to say, why not build a website? You can create a website about virtually anything that you have an interest in. Whether you blog or write articles, your income will come in the way of marketing your site efficiently. You can also make passive income by becoming an affiliate for sites like Amazon. Each time a person clicks on the ad placed on your website, you’ll earn cash.

4.Virtual Assisting

There are business owners all over the world that hire virtual assistants to keep track of appointments, answer emails and generate reports. If you have secretarial skills, a high-speed connection and time in the day, you can offer your expertise to the highest bidder. There are sites on the Internet where you can bid on virtual assisting jobs that appeal to your interests.

5.Sell Stuff

People are still making money on eBay and, if you haven’t tried it yet, now is the perfect time to start. Look around the house and see what you can sell or start creating items that you can list for auction. If you have a good feel for what sells on auction sites, you can generate a good deal of income simply by putting items up for bid.

If you’re looking for a way to make money online, be careful that you don’t get scammed. While the five ideas above are legitimate ways to make money, the Internet is full of bogus claims and false promises. Remember that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
