Show Me The Money: Online Moneymaking Programs (PART TWO)

In my previous article, I have discussed the five online moneymaking opportunities. Part two of this article is the remaining five moneymaking opportunities online.

Let’s start the ball rolling.

6. Get paid by typing/encoding data.
How it works: This is a “secretarial” job. If you are a good typist, then this job fits you. This job also requires training. The company you have applied for may ask you some fees in exchange for materials you will need before you become a regular typist.
Earnings: Usually every completed data costs $10-$20 depending on the length. You may earn up to $500 a week if you will spend some time typing as many data as you can. The amount you will be earning is completely tax-free because you are an independent contractor.
Comment: However, although this is simple, typing may become tedious too. Make sure that you have the patience in doing this kind of job.

7. Get paid by writing.
How it works: This is one of the best online moneymaking jobs. There is actually a greater possibility to find a writing job on the Internet than on any newspapers and other media outlets. You are also able to choose between becoming a full-time and a part-time writer. Online writing jobs vary on content (and there are a wide range of contents available for you to write). If you have the talent for writing, flaunt it.
Earnings: This usually depends on the company. Some pays well, while others pay little. There are also some companies who only give “marketing” exposure to a written content. But overall, online writing may be a good career in the future.
Comment: Make sure that you are really into writing stuff and be able to learn things fast. Good comprehension is needed because there are actually a lot of “technicalities” involve in writing. For one, grammar must be in accordance to what your company uses (is it UK or US grammar?). And two, you also must be able to have at least the basic knowledge in computer programming.

8. Get paid by stuffing envelopes.
How it works: You just have to stuff envelopes at home. I am not quite sure where will these envelopes be used for. This online moneymaking job has advertisements everywhere, but no one actually knows the process.
Earnings: Sites of this kind of job say that you can earn $5-$20 per envelope stuffed.
Comment: This seems so “alluring” but I suggest that if you cannot find actual proofs or explanation on why companies need someone to stuff envelopes for them, just do not sign up. It may be a buff!

9. Get paid by reviewing products.
How it works: This is another job that requires writing, however, in a different level. You are required to review products from a specific site. Reviews are posted on forums with your comments and ratings on it. This is one way where companies use “consumer” testimonies to sell their products more.
Earnings: Like online writing, earnings in online reviews depend on the company. Usually the amount ranges from $5 and up.
Comment: I suggest that you have a better connection for this kind of job. Usually the forums where you will be posting your reviews take longer time to download. You should also be good at describing a certain product because you are only require to describe the product, along with its advantages and disadvantages, by just looking at the picture.

10. Earn money through your own site.
How it works: This is a good way to earn real money. There are actually a lot of ways on how you could earn through your own site. The concept here is: the more visitors there are on a site, the greater is the opportunity to earn money.
Earnings: This still depends on your site’s traffic.
Comments: This is a good online moneymaking job, however, it also requires a lot of work. Investment is also needed. But if you know how to get online free stuffs, you will only probably spend little cash on building your own website. I will be discussing more on this topic on a separate article. Just watch out for it.

Just yesterday, I have discussed to you the essential points in helping you stay on the right track and earn cash in online moneymaking programs without wasting any time, effort, and money on your side. Now that you have understood the “precautions”, I think that it is time to lay down the different moneymaking programs we have online.

You have probably read a lot of advertisements saying one of these things: Work from home. Become your own boss. Earn cold cash by surfing the net… and so on. Well, these advertisements are the moneymaking programs on the Internet. This is what’s everyone is talking about on every email, forums and group discussions. I bet that you have already received an email with content that says, “hey, earn dollars for free. Just sign up here”. In my personal experience, I did receive a couple of this kind of e-mail from my friends. As far as I could remember, I was on my senior year in high school when I received the very first earn-dollars-by-signing-up mail. Of course, as a teenager then, I was enlightened by the fact that I could totally earn 10 bucks by signing up. Plus, I could earn more once I surf the net! Wow! How gullible I was back then. Guess what, I have not received my dollars and a couple of months past, I did not took time to visit the site again. What happened? I simply lost my interest. I did not even bother to research if the site really gives out cash.

And so, for those wanting to try these moneymaking opportunities online, I have made you a list of the kinds of moneymaking jobs on the web. The list may not be complete but this will somehow give you an idea on what program attracts you most so as to save you from losing interest later on.

1. Paid to read emails.
How it works: This moneymaking program requires only a valid email address. You will regularly receive a couple of emails a day. All you need to do here is click on the specified url contained within the email and visit the company’s website for few seconds.
Earnings: Not much. Only $0.01-$1.00 per advertisement read.
Comment: I suggest you have to make a separate email account for this because you will be receiving tons and tons of emails in a day. Also, the thing with this program is that you still have to reach a certain amount, usually from $50-up before you could actually claim your cash. There are other companies too that only offer gift checks. So be careful. I advise that you must carefully read the site’s contents before actually signing up.

2. Paid to answer surveys.
How it works: You have to become a member here before accessing to their surveys. The kind of survey questionnaires are usually about a certain product and/or service. This is because many companies would want to directly know how their products are doing within the market. Thus, they pay people to answer their questions.
Earnings: This is a high-earning job. The amount may range from $5-$200 per survey answered.
Comment: Well, answering surveys may be too simple. However, some surveys take up to 30 minutes or an hour to complete. So when you have a slow server, you may want to consider looking for other ways to earn, or else you would be spending more of your time for just a little cash. Also, do not ever take this as your full time job because unlike paid to read emails, surveys are not always available for you. Companies who conduct surveys also choose specific people to answer. The process of choosing people is based from the bio data filled up during registration/sign-up process.

3. Get to paid offers.
How it works: You are paid here when you tried their products and services. However, this is not absolutely for free. You would also spend money on becoming a member of this program.
Earnings: You could earn up to $70 for every product/service trial you take.
Comment: This is a lucrative work at home opportunity. However, this kind of job only fits best to those who would really need to try out a certain product or service.

4. Shop and get paid.
How it works: Girls would love this job. If you are shopcoholic, then this job suits you. You are paid by simply shopping on stores and certain malls. Companies would also want to know certain factors on which products and services click most on the market.
Earnings: There is also big cash here. Usually from $10 and up, depending on the kind of product you shop.
Comments: This is a fun job only when you love shopping. But this is a work from home, which requires you spending money too on transportation and on shopping.

5. Get paid by becoming an affiliate.
How it works: Affiliate programs are one of the newest work at home opportunities. Mostly, affiliate programs give you a website to advertise. Thus, this is a promotional job. You promote a site by becoming an affiliate.
Earnings: The earnings here depend on what company you affiliated with. However, as long as you chose a good company that pays high, then you could earn a lot of cash here. Also, some companies give commissions.
Comment: This is one of the best online moneymaking jobs there is. What’s best in this kind of program is that you do not need to have a website. Also, this is pure “work at home” job. No selling. No going out. And you do not even have to spend a dime.
