I’m going to show you three quick and dirty ways to make income online, by working as much or as little as you want, from anywhere in the world, whenever you choose.You can make money with writing, blogging, and eBay and other ways, although the focus today is these three.

 

Freelance Writing

 

Online freelance writing jobs are plentiful, if you know where to look and can distinguish the legitimate opportunities from the potential scams.

 

Most people don’t have a clue about the wide variety of writing opportunities available to them all over the Internet. These include writing simple articles, press releases, and even complete e-books.

 

Some clients pay upfront for your material, offering a certain amount per word or per assignment. Others will pay you per the hour for other writing and publishing related tasks such as proof-reading and editing web content.

 

Freelance writing networks such as “The Freelance Writing Jobs Network” are a great place to start looking for writing jobs and advice. And then there are what I call “freelance matchmaking” sites or “job boards” like Elance.com and Freelancer.com.

 

On these sites, almost every day, thousands of businesses post various types of writing projects, gigs and requests. If you get aggressive in applying for these open spots, then there’s a virtually unlimited supply of writing opportunities that can make you money relatively quickly.

 

When starting, reply to as many project requests as possible, offer to work at a reasonable rate (but not dirt cheap), and be quick and responsive.

 

Landing that first gig is always the hardest step, but once you’ve built up a portfolio and some clientele, you’ll get more and more consistent work.

 

The key to making money with freelance writing is to quickly produce as many quality pieces as you can for your portfolio, and then use job boards and social networking strategies to promote your writing. The more traffic you get to your online work, the more companies you’ll have approaching you to write for them.

 

Here are some additional tips when setting up your portfolio:

 

1. Set up a professional web page with your resume, contact information, and some writing samples.

 

2. Establish yourself as a reputable, talented freelance writer by submitting only your best quality work to potential clients.

 

3. Network with other busy writers who may be able to send extra work your way. Participate in writers forums by writing useful comments and including links to your website and online work.

 

Making Money with eBay

 

If writing is not your thing, then hop on over to ebay.com and you can start selling almost anything you can imagine within just minutes.

 

Imagine having access to 100 million cash-spending buyers. That’s exactly the kind of gold mine that’s waiting for you on eBay. It has over 100 million registered users, all of whom are out there shopping for great deals.

 

To become a successful eBay seller, first you must first figure out what to sell. You can sell your own items, check out trade shows in your local area, or search online directories like Doba.com and Alibaba.com to find hot products.

 

Here’s how to get the most out of your eBay listings and auctions:

 

1. Create good titles and descriptions, and include quality photos of the items. Write descriptions that stand out, but do not make them obnoxious by using all capital letters or excessive punctuation. Also, be honest about any defects in the items you have for sale.

 

2. Consider starting your own eBay store for selling large quantities, since they have a longer run time than typical auctions. Participate in the eBay community and read the forums to stay involved.

 

3. Other ways to get traffic to your auctions and items for sale include creating a page on eBay and linking to your auctions from other sites. You also could register a domain name dedicated solely to promoting your own auctions.

 

Once you find a hot product, keep selling it, and then gradually find more and more products you can promote. Over time, your income will grow exponentially.

 

Make Money with Your Own Blog

 

Blogging is another easy way to make money online. The secret to profitable blogging is to focus on a particular that is, your area of expertise or a very specific subject that is popular in the search engines.

Here’s how to get started blogging:

 

1. Like freelance writing, you should approach blogging with the intent to write unique, quality content. Offering useful information and establishing yourself as a trustworthy resource to your readers will quickly lead to lots of word-of-mouth traffic to your blog. Readers can tell if you do not know what you are talking about, so do your research and focus on producing quality content.

 

2. Starting a blog is as simple as getting a free account at WordPress.com, Blogger.com, or another blog hosting site. You can also pay for a domain name and hosting services if you want to personalize your blog even more. I suggest you start with the free options.

 

3. Once you have established your blog, then you can focus on monetizing it by incorporating relevant ads through advertising networks like Google AdSense or Chitika. Affiliate programs such as Amazon also are becoming increasingly popular ways to earn extra revenue. In addition, you could sell private ads or review products on your blog.

 

4. Promote your blog by utilizing social networking opportunities such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and blogging forums. If you’re creative, then you’ll find endless opportunities to promote your blog throughout these social communities.

 

So, that’s how to make money with writing, blogging, and eBay. Freelance writing, selling on eBay, and blogging are only three of the many ways to make money online. They might require an initial investment of time and effort, but you are likely to see some quick income and even huge profits in the long run if you follow these hints.

 

Now you can make money with writing, blogging, and eBay using this new, Internet revolution that’s helping people like you to start their own dream business, create absolute financial freedom, and escape the rat race for good, faster than they ever thought possible.

Set a Routine

 

Set a schedule and stick to it. Decide what days you’re going to publish articles for your home business and get them out on those days. If you’re new to blogging and unable to write articles daily, then do it two or three times a week. Regular posting can enable you to move up in search engine ranking, and it keeps you in front of your audience.

 

If blogging is only one aspect of your home business, and you’re not in a position to outsource work, you may not have the time to post articles several times a week. In that case, there are many sources for published articles that allow you to republish, as long as you keep the article intact and the author’s resource box.

Are you having trouble with blogging? Are you at a loss for article subjects?

Here are a few blogging tips.

There are subjects all around you. Just be aware of your surroundings.

You can use newspaper headlines, people watching (what you’ve observed someone doing or making, etc.) or what someone did at the grocery or department store.

You can also research information online. It’s your blog.

You can talk about whatever you wish. If you have a niche-specific blog you probably want to make the article relative to that niche.

While making the article relative to your niche you can use analogies.

For example, you observed someone buying flowers. You can tell a story about the type and color, how carefully they were handled and discuss the customer service.

Then if your niche is internet marketing, you can relate this to products for your customers and your follow up customer service.

Once you think of a topic make an outline just like you did for school papers.

The outline should include:

A Title
An Introduction
Some Key Points
A Conclusion
A Resource box

Here is a very basic outline.



Title

The title should be in bold type and it should be engaging. It should set the tone for the entire article.

Introduction

An introduction is self explanatory. In this article, all of the above is the introduction beginning with the question “Are you having trouble with blogging?”

Headings

Your key points become your headings. I suggest an absolute minimum of three key points. They should also be in bold type.

Conclusion

Your conclusion is a summary of your article and anything else you wish to state that is directly related to your topic.

Resource Box

You can also include a resource box with your picture, a bit of information about yourself, and a link to your site or products.

In summary, you now have a template that you can use for every blog post. You can save it in outline form and use it over and over.

It contains a title, introduction, several key points related to your subject, and a conclusion.

Now you can get busy using this template of blogging tips to make your writing easier.
