#9: eBay

#1 Make money by selling at eBay

You must first register as a seller at eBay. Next thing to do is to look for hard-to-find items, unique items, unusual things or something than can only be found in your place. Sell first those that you have. If you've already sold everything in your basement, turn to your neighbors and ask if you can have (or buy) those things they don't use anymore (remember: something unusual). When buying, buy things at a discount and sell them at eBay at a markup to make profit. Keep in mind that you must keep your costs low. High costs will most likely eat up your profits.

However, for those who are looking for opportunities to make extra income online, but new to internet business may not clear with what affiliate marketing is all about, and how they can make some good money online with this business model. Let's explore it to help those who are new to internet business understand it's business model and the potential money making opportunities that they can get from affiliate marketing to make extra income online.

Affiliate marketing is a revenue sharing venture between a website owner / online marketer (known as affiliate) and an online merchant. Under this business model, website owner makes money by promoting products owned by an online merchant; they will place advertisement on his website or driving web traffic from various sources to his website or directly to the merchant landing page. If a sale or an action required by merchant such as fill up a form (lead generation), the affiliate will earn a commission which may based on the percentage of the sell price or a fixed amount.

Both affiliate and merchant are benefited under this business model. It is a win-win business model: affiliates can sell to make money online without the need to have their own products. Customer support and product delivery will be handled by merchant; whereas, merchant will save their advertising costs while getting their products exposure to the market through affiliates' website and their marketing activities.

Affiliates can make money through affiliate marketing in three ways:

1. Pay-per-click. Affiliates put merchant's ads at their website, and if it is click by the website visitors which leading to the merchant's website, the affiliate will get pay, the amount may vary from a penny to dollars depending on the products and the commission given by the merchants.

2. Pay-per-sale. Affiliate will only earn commission if a sale is made through unique link placed at affiliate website or their marketing campaigns. The commission will normally be a certain percentage of the sell price or a fixed amount regardless of the sell price.

3. Pay-per-lead. Every time a potential customer registers at the merchant website through affiliate link, the affiliate will earn a commission based on this action. The commission for pay-per-lead will normally be a fixed amount pre-determined by the merchant.

Affiliate marketing opens the opportunity for website owners and those who are interested to make money online a great way to earn money without actually having to "do" anything. All it involves is placing advertisements at their website or running ad campaigns using their affiliate link, sit back and wait for profit to roll in. The backend portion which involves payment processing, product or service delivery and customer supports will be handled by the merchant.

#7: Selling e-books

As i have promised from the previous post, i will be blogging about selling e-books in this post. And I'm telling this first and foremost, selling e-books is NOT an easy job. You need to be very industrious to achieve the desired results.

What do I write?

You should write about something than you're very good at. Your expertise. Your passion. Something people are interested in or a topic with great demand. Write about it and then convert it to PDF using those free converters from the web. Remember to write with high quality.

Selling your e-book

To sell your e-book online, you must have your own website. I suggest you create a blog using blogger and use it to promote your e-book. Here is an article i stumbled upon which will help you create your blog that sells.

How to Make a Blog That Sells by Jeremy Gislason

Understanding how to make a blog that sells is essential. It is the defining difference between a blog that profits and succeeds, from another blog that fails to earn over reasonable periods of time.

One of the first things you need to acknowledge is that creating a blog that produces steady profits is not an easy task. Some top marketers will have you believe that you can be free and clear out of your job in no time. It is far from being correct.

You can make a blog and become successful on the build-up; however, chances are you are going to slam into some delays and challenges along the way. So with that understanding in mind, let me give you some additional useful points for a clearer path to blogging and creating your very first blog.

First things first! If you want to make money by blogging, you've to know how to make a blog that sells. That is, if you intend to live from the income that blogging produces.

It all starts by building your plan of action. This is nothing more than a simple business plan for immediate execution, without diverting into other distractions.

Sure, understanding how to make a blog may be your priority; however, how useful will your blog project be if you don't know where you are heading with your schedules? Not knowing where you are heading is like trying to shoot a barrel without aiming; you just won't hit your targets easily.

Start by building your plan of action. A plan of action should help you understand what you need to do in order to achieve your daily objectives, and provide a road of answer for the next steps once each daily priority is finished. A dashboard has always proven to be useful in my businesses. Do the same when it comes to the creation of your new blog.

Second, since by this step you should already have created your plan of action - start by researching the markets available for profitable business.

Third, look for a hosting account that has many of the benefits you need in order to create your very first blog. A hosting account with many of the rich features and benefits should help cut your time in the creation of the blog. With many hosting companies, there are push-button options that make the task a lot easier; while with others, you still have to upload everything via FTP.

As a fourth step, take your time to design your blog and writing style once you've the most important starting details in-check.

In conclusion, starting your very first blog is exciting if you can write easily and effectively. Most importantly, knowing how to make a blog that provides consistent income will mean the difference between a blog that stays hidden in the last of the search engine SERPs, and a blog that is very popular and in demand. Enjoy your blogging as it's very exciting, especially when you are just starting out!

Many people make money out of the internet by selling e-books (which i will write about next time). But some of these people who want to sell e-books just don't have the talent! Others simply don't have the time to write. And this is where you, ghostwriter, comes in. You get paid for writing for them!

Remember to write high quality contents to be able to compete with other ghostwriters.

Guidelins for Searching (from the site)

The intention is for our customers to search just as they would normally, and if this approach is followed it is highly unlikely that your searches will be contrary to our terms and conditions.

Here are our guidelines:

1. Search with the intention of using the search results, not necessarily every time as we understand the need to refine search terms, but we assume an intention to look at the results is motivating the search.

2. Repetitive search terms and frequency of search. We take no interest in, or view on, individual search terms but our filters will exclude high volumes of the same search terms or unusually high frequency.

3. Please do not use the search box simply to connect to known web addresses, we cannot make payment for this type of use. In any case, we now offer a Bookmark section on your homepage as part of our service where you can enter your own links for regular use.
So please do not search, for example, for BBC, Facebook, Youtube or our own myhpf site as these are bookmarked links available under the Featured Links of your homepage.

4. If you use the box to access competitive services of our search engine partner such as Gmail, Google and Ask, then again we cannot pay for these searches.

5. At all times we will enforce the terms and conditions of our search partner Yahoo! and will exclude search activity that Yahoo! regard as inappropriate.

We hope you understand that in order to offer this service we have to make sure that it is properly used.

We have sophisticated systems for tracking and identifying search patterns that allow us to disallow searches where necessary (which is why you may occasionally see particular searches not registering on your summary the following day) but if you follow these guidelines and search as you would normally everything will work well.

#1: Google AdSense

Google AdSense - How to Make Easy Money With Google AdSense by Jeremy Gislason

Some people think that making money with Google AdSense is hard; but in fact, it is quite the opposite. Setting up Google ads on your site is simple, and you can earn from it rather quickly.

First of all, Google AdSense is a program that welcomes any webmaster or blogger to sign up for free, and display Google ads on their site or blog.

Marketers and companies are paying Google every time someone clicks on their ad, whether it be from Google itself, or from a participating website or blog.

This is called "Pay Per Click Advertising" and it is one of the most popular forms of advertising nowadays. It is more important to have a Google or Yahoo listing these days than it is to be in the Yellow Pages. This is because the internet is more accessible and convenient for more people searching to satisfy their needs.

Companies or webmasters pay to show up (in the Google search engine) for certain keywords or keyword phrases such as "lose weight" or "make money." They have to place a maximum bid, which is the maximum amount of money they are willing to pay for one click.

When someone does a Google search for a keyword, their ad spot shows up if they bid on that keyword. If the surfer or visitor clicks on their ad, the company or webmaster must then pay Google for the click.

Companies are bidding against each other for top listings. For popular niches, each click can be costly. That is why it is so lucrative to make money with Google AdSense.

When you venture out to make money with Google AdSense, you must keep in mind that there is no adult-related materials allowed (such as pornography or racist) or offensive materials of any kind. There may be a few other restrictions regarding online gambling and other related activities.

But for the most part, it is very easy to make money with Google AdSense. Many people earn a full time income from it alone. More and more bloggers are becoming famous - and rich - due to the money they make from Google ads placed on their blogs.

In order to make money with Google AdSense, you must have a website or a blog. The difference between the two is trivial. They are both 'websites' - Your own website costs a small amount of money for the domain name and hosting. Your blog can be free, or it can cost you a little money too if you're going to get a domain and host for it. Let me explain...

A blog will give you your own domain name, but it will have the blog company's name in the URL as well. For instance, if it's a free blog from Blogger.com, it would be something like: YourBlogName.blogspot.com. Of course, you would replace 'YourBlogName' with whatever you want your blog's web address to be.

If you are in the weight loss niche, your blog URL might be something like, "LoseWeightFast.Blogspot.com." If you want your own personal and brandable domain name (YourDomainName.com or YourDomainName.com/blog), it only costs about $8-$10 for a .COM domain name and around that same amount for a hosting account.

My suggestion is to upload your blog to your own host and give it a domain name representing your company or profile. It only costs a little more per month, but it'll give your blog a more professional image; hence, building your reputation.

Once you sign up for a free account with Google AdSense, you can start displaying ads on your site within minutes. You don't need to have a super popular site with millions of viewers in order for Google to do business with you, like what some people might think.

Anybody with a website or blog can sign up for a free Google AdSense account. They give you the HTML code for you to copy and paste in your website, so that ads related to your content will automatically show up on your site/blog wherever you want them to be displayed.

As far as monetizing your site with Google AdSense, it doesn't matter whether you are using a free blog or a paid one (with domain name and hosting). As long as you can drive traffic to the site, you are in good shape.

That is the name of the game by the way - driving web traffic to your site/blog. Once you have a website or blog up in the niche that you want to market to, and have added some useful content to it, you can then place some Google AdSense ads on your site and earn a decent income by driving traffic to it.

You may use Pay-Per-Click Advertising for your own sites, online classified ad sites, article marketing, press releases, video marketing, social network marketing, and other methods to generate traffic. By the way, search engines love blogs; so as long as you post beneficial and keyword-optimized content on your blog, the search engines will find it.

To recap, here are the steps:

Create a website or start a blog, sign up for a free account with Google AdSense, and place the ad code on your site. Then, advertise your website or blog using various techniques of getting traffic and exposure.

These are just the basics for learning how to make money with Google AdSense. I hope you have a much better idea of how it works and what you need to do to get started.

You can make money with Google AdSense in a multitude of ways, and it costs little to nothing to get started. You can start earning money within hours of launching your site or blog, so just do it!

#3: Taking Photos

3 Things You Can Get Paid to Photograph on Your Next Vacation By Shelly Perry

To most travelers, a vacation is a time to relax, take in a few museums, enjoy coffee in an outdoor cafe, eat out, and meet new people. But to me, a vacation is also the ticket to some easy extra income…

Take Paris, for instance. (I’ve been there twice.) I enjoyed the cafes… the lavish meals… the leisurely strolls along the Seine. And I took pictures as I went - just like we all do when we’re on vacation.

The big difference for me is that I don’t just slide my pictures into an album when I get home. I sell them. And the truth is, thousands of websites, magazines, and travel agencies buy vacation photos from travelers like me all the time. And it’s not hard to find buyers…

Online stock photo agencies, also known as "microstock sites," are how I make most of my cash. Enough, in some cases, to cover the cost of my trip.

They’re happy to work with amateurs, but they do expect near-perfect photographs. So you’ve got to have a good digital camera and an eye for composition.

Travel agencies, art directors, and even high school kids looking for photos to illustrate their MySpace page or their geography and history papers are all customers of these online stock sites. It doesn’t cost you anything to upload your vacation shots, and buyers can download whichever pictures they choose for anywhere between $1 and $20 a pop, depending on what size image they want.

You, in exchange, get a percentage of the sale. I average 80 cents per image per month for all the photos I have on file at the stock agency I use (Istockphoto.com). That may not sound like a lot - but, at the end of the month, I get a check for a thousand or so dollars for my efforts.

Over time, I’ve collected several thousand images from my travels, and even pictures from inside my hotel room and from my house and backyard. I don’t have to do any marketing. I just upload the photos and they sell in my sleep.

It’s fast, easy, and fun.

Here are three things you can photograph on your next trip to sell for stock. Keep these in mind when you travel, and you can have fun, take lots of pictures, and make some extra money to boot.

1. Farmers’ Markets

Farmers’ markets are teeming with stock shots… from the repeating patterns and colors of seasonal fruits and vegetables to signs scrawled in chalk and people picking out their wares.

Almost every online stock agency requires you to submit a model release for images that contain recognizable people, so I suggest you focus on the fruits and vegetables at first. Model releases are specific to each site, so get your account up and running before you try to submit people photographs.

2. Your Hotel

One photo of a front desk bell has sold 1,021 times on iStockphoto.com. And I’ve sold photos of curtains, tassels, pillows, and more. Do some research and look up hotel pictures on the stock sites before you leave to take inventory of your competition. It’s okay to photograph the same things - just be sure to make them yours by making them unique. But look for what’s selling and what’s not. Put your attention on the type of photos that sell best.

3. Textures and Patterns

People like to buy photos of simple textures or patterns to use as backgrounds for their websites… fine art on their wall… and a myriad of other things. Keep an eye out for them as you travel. Peeling paint, rusted metal, brick walls, cracks in the sidewalk, bark on a tree… can all make for interesting patterns and textures.

Make sure you read the site’s technical requirements and submission guidelines before you start uploading pictures. Some of the leading sites are: Istockphoto.com, Bigstockphoto.com, Shutterstock.com, and Dreamstime.com.
