Ways to make money now

The are many ways to make money online, but for a beginner in the Internet Marketing field, it can be difficult to decide how and where to start. There are masses of programs for sale that advertise things like “no website required” and “make $100 in 1 hour”, but in most cases these products are highly over-exaggerating, if not complete scams. This article provides 3 proven ways to earn good money online.

The first method I’d like to outline is quite specialised, but many people may find it both enjoyable and lucrative. This method is already applied by more than half a million Chinese – World of Warcraft gold mining! Yes, that’s right, gold mining on Wow, and selling it on eBay! Because of the addictive nature of the game, a surprising amount of people are willing to pay ridiculous real world prices to appease their online addiction. This could be applied to games like Second Life also.

The second method is also quite easy, but takes a lot of hard work. There are plenty of freelance websites in operation that allow you to advertise your skills for free (eg. elance). You just find one of these sites, say how great you are at writing, or coding, or singing, or whatever your skill is, and charge $5-$50 per piece. With some good references you could make a decent living, although this is not exactly working for yourself, and you are probably better off using your skills for your own projects rather than others.

The last method has been done thousands of times, and is probably the simplest and most effective method. In 2 words – review websites! All you need to do is pick some products to sell from one of the many affiliate websites on the internet (eg. clickbank), create a review blog about each product over at blogger or wordpress, write some quality reviews pointing readers to your affiliate links, then generate targeted traffic by submitting QUALITY articles to various article databases. This is very straight forward, and you can experiment with various ways of writing and reviewing. It might be best to buy a newbie blueprint for more detailed instructions.
