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

Show Me The Money: Online Moneymaking Programs (PART TWO)
written by Mary Ann Carolyn Dalangin-Tordecilla
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.
