1. Instructions
Read this, just for a bit of inspiration
I make about $ 3,500 a month on the Internet. Not
quite enough for me and my family to live on, but a nice addition to my income
just the same. It's pretty easy and pretty quick, so get a SMALL income stream
started. It takes time and effort to build it up. Might as well get started
today.
2.
Take stock of what you have to offer
If you are a writer, programmer, designer, or
photographer, there are opportunities for you oodl of. If you have a speciality
of any sort--carpentry, raising kids, planning vacations or weddings, playing
Guitar Hero 3-you can get paid for your expertise.
Even if you think all you can offer this time,
there are plenty of opportunities for you as well.
3. Scan the available steps
I've listed a lot of options in the steps that
follow, all of them legitimat. Pick the one that seems the best fit for you and
your skills, and start exploring.
4. Freelance Works
If you have a skill to offer, check out the
various freelance sites (called "personal outsourcing" of similar
background), like elance.com and guru.com (see the resources section for the
links I mention).
You can post your skills at these sites, so
potential customers can check you out, and you can also look around for
freelance projects that others have posted.
There are a ton of opportunities for freelancers,
in very varied fields. Common projects, though, are the writing, computer or
graphics design work, creating web pages, programming, writing reports or
brochures, illustration, photography, and so on.
Pay can be pretty good, especially after you've
earned a quality rating at one or more of the freelancing sites. At the same
time, though, keep in mind that you're competing with freelancers from around
the world.
Take a look at the "How Elance works"
video on their main page to get a quick overview.
5. Try Writing Web Content
There are a quite a number of ways to take your
skills as a writer and turn it into cash.
One of them is right here at eHow. Write a brief
"How to" articles on any topic of your choosing, and get paid for the
article. The more popular the article, the more income you can expect. A good
article will bring in $ 50 per year or more. Write 10 top-notch articles, and
that's $ 500. A hundred articles ... you get the picture.
I can't say enough good things about eHow. To my
mind, it is the best income generating opportunity available. Google the term '
ehow101 ' to learn more about how to make it work.
6. Write A Product Review
ConsumerSearch.com, a site owned by the N.Y. times
pays freelance writer a minimum of $ 350 per article for a product review.
While that sounds like good money (and it is. .. and you can earn even more
than that!), their particular brand of reviews requires good research and
writing skills, and takes a lot of work. Check 'em out at/jobs.

8. Check out Q& 's sites

research, divorce law, homework help ... you name it. "If this sounds like
your cup of tea, here are some resources to explore:

well-developed Q& site works.
