Internet Money

 The one question I always get asked is "What is the best way to make money on the internet?" The problem is there's no one perfect answer to this question. It's true that there are a lot of scams out there to get you to waste your money on the next get-rich-quick scheme. The amazing truth is I've found out that just about every one of these money making opportunities offer a real chance to make money. The problem is too many people want something for nothing and the claims of getting rich in a week, month, year, etc. are a little farfetched, although it does happen more often on the internet than with traditional businesses. The truth is if you put the hard work and effort in to just about any online business, you'll eventually make a profit. You just have to be realistic with your expectations. After all, if it was real easy, everybody would be doing it. Just keep in mind that you need to treat your online business just like you would if it was a regular bricks and mortar store. Who knows...? You may be the next person that becomes an overnight success.

The first thing you need to do is figure out what your strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes are. Do you like to write? Do you like hanging out at sites like Facebook and MySpace? Do you have a specific skill that people may want to learn? Do you have more knowledge about something than the average person does that people may want to know more about? You really need to start off with something you know a little about and that you have a genuine interest in to be successful.

I'm going to give you a few ideas of how to make money on the internet below that may interest you.

- Write reviews - You can go to sites such as SoftwareJudge.com and write reviews of various software products. You can earn up to $50 with each review. You can even earn money from epinions.com which most don't know.

- Write web content - You would be doing nothing different than what I'm doing by writing this article. The only difference is I'm writing this article to promote my new website. You can make $50 a year or more with a good article. Doesn't sound like a whole lot, but what if you wrote 1 top notch article a day? That would be more than $18,000 a year after one year and $36,000 a year 2. Are you starting to see the big picture? Not too bad for a part-time job.

- Online researcher - You can earn money answering people's questions by doing the research to find the answers. To find out more you may want to check out JustAnswer or Uclue.com.

- Suggest domain names - You can go to Pickydomains.com and get paid $25 for each domain name that is chosen.

- Sell photos - You can earn royalties every time someone uses your photo on sites like istockphoto.com.

All I've done is scratch the surface of what kind of opportunities are out there for someone looking to make money from the internet.
