Some people think that working online from home requires high
level skills and a lot of investment capacity. While professionals can
take up high skill jobs online, others can take simple and easy methods
to earn online. There are plenty of opportunities on the Internet.
1.
Participating in Surveys: Several top companies contract agencies to do
marketing research and simple survey work on behalf of them and pay
money for that. These companies need to plan and introduce products
according to peoples' tastes and needs. You may join in one of these
survey companies. Most surveys are free to join. Each survey roughly
takes about 20 minutes. In the case of special longer surveys you shall
be paid more. Once you join, you will keep receiving mails about
available survey opportunities. It is up to you to participate or not
depending on your time. You may earn from a couple of dollars or much
more depending on the survey. You can do a search for these survey
companies on the Internet.
Drawbacks: Generally, the survey
opportunities given to you are very less and therefore you end up making
meager income at the end of the month. This kind of work is suitable
for any one with plenty of time. Some companies make you take the
surveys and don't pay on some pretext or other. There are several
fraudulent companies operating in this field. Continue participation in
surveys only if it is regular and rewarding. Drop a company quickly if
you are not comfortable with it. There are some survey companies which
collect joining fee upfront and then give you these opportunities. Since
joining is usually free there is no financial risk.
2. Data Entry
job work: You may undertake to enter data for companies in their
database forms. You will need to be a good typist. They will ask you to
type certain documents, forms, etc. in a particular form of the company.
The more forms you type out the more you earn. Sometimes, schools and
colleges need these work done during admission time.
Drawbacks:
Your typing speed and accuracy need to be good. Money will be deducted
or unpaid for too many errors in data entry. Here too there are numerous
fraudulent companies cheating vulnerable people. Avoid paying any
joining fee. Most companies collect the money and no work is given to
you. Sometimes, they even tell that you can "fill up simple forms",
write small advertisements for them and you stand to earn unlimited
money. These companies are outright frauds. Actually, they are asking
you to start Google's AdWords campaigns, which is a high-skilled
business by itself. It requires high level skills, knowledge and
investment. Instead of getting paid, you will end up losing money on
failed campaigns. Avoid such companies.
3. Freelance assignments:
If you have any type of skills - proofreading, editing, writing, web
designing, photography, etc. = there are plenty of opportunities on the
web. Freelance.com, elance.com are good places to register and bid your
rate when s suitable project is available to you. If you do a good job,
usually the person who hired your services will hire you again and
again. And you stand to earn a full time income working part time from
home. There is no sign up fee. Frauds are much less here.
Drawbacks:
You have to be committed to your work. If you don't deliver what you
promised you not only stand to lose future assignments and even may lose
money for the work done. What I understand is that about 40 per cent of
people - mainly from Asian countries - are not paid at all. Study
different employers and choose one who appeals to you. Drop employers
who are excessively stingy. Also drop employers who demand too many
"sample articles" for free. Start your own free blog or website where
you can showcase your writing talents. Let them refer to it for your
writing samples.
4. eBay Marketing: It is one of the simplest
works to do. It requires no investment. Just look around in your house.
Select some of those old sell-able items. Visit ebay.com and sign up for
an account. It is free. Just browse through the site and all its
various sections. There are various tutorials available inside to learn
how to sell. Go through them. Once you have understood the fundamentals,
start listing one of your items to sell. Follow the instructions. When a
buyer buys your product, you will be immediately informed. He sends you
the payment first. So get the item ready with a neat and safe packaging
to the address you received. Send the package as quickly as possible.
So you have made a sale. Repeat this process for sometime with other
items. Then gradually start selling new items at your own competitive
price. You will soon find out where to buy items at wholesale price and
sell them at your own retail price. Learn advanced methods. And there
you are as a great eBay seller.
Drawbacks: There are practically
no drawbacks. You are getting paid first. Then you are expected to send
the material. You need to be very prompt in executing orders in order to
win customers. There is some careful solid work involved like
packaging, executing orders promptly.
5. Affiliate Marketing: This
requires a little higher level of skills. Since it is easy any one can
learn it. Plenty of free learning resources on affiliate marketing are
available on the web. So do not buy any new book on that. In this
business, you sign up as an affiliate (partner or associate) with a
merchant of your choice. Clickbank.com is the best place to start with
to find good affiliate programs. You should learn how to promote a
product through free and paid methods. Once you make a sale, you get the
commission which may go beyond 75 percent of the product value.
Drawbacks:
There are practically no drawbacks. If you work you earn. You will earn
passive income for the work done earlier for once. However, if you plan
to spend on advertisements then you have to be more careful.
Profit
Lance system can help you get started with affiliate marketing quickly
even if you are a newbie. Just investigate and find out what it offers.
