You now have ten more ways to make money online. Some might say it’s all a load of bollocks and none of them really work. True, true, they don’t work. But only if you don’t work at it.

I don’t expect anyone trust me on it. Hell, I haven’t tried them – yet. But I must say that quite a few of these ideas look very interesting and worthwhile.

Offer your professional expertise in an online marketplace.
A pretty cool idea. This means that you really can work from your own home, and from any country in the world – coding, writing, reviewing, analysing, almost anything – for someone who maybe lives on the other side of the planet.
Next you’ll be paid to care for virtual pets, or keep someone’s spot in the queue at WoW. Nifty.
Sell photos on stock photography sites.

This one appeals to me. Like many of us, I have invested lots of money in the latest you-beaut Canon dSLR EOS 400D. In the last two weeks, I have shot about 2000 photographs!
Therefore selling them online seems like a great way to justify the time spent. This would be a great way to get people active again! Imagine it, droves of people, roaming the streets, shooting that all-important illusive shot of someone NOT holding a camera or someone sitting in an office.
But seriously, this one seems like a great idea.
Blog for pay.
This is one arena I have been trying to break into for a few years. Like the article says, the art is to steer-away from being too personal, saying less about yourself and more about the issue.
Like many bloggers now doubt find, this is difficult to do. After all, we originally opened a blog so we could blab to the world about our emotions – but many of us realised that most of the world doesn’t care.
Your audience are most interested in your opinions about items of use — your kettle, microwave, exercise-bike and laptop, someone somewhere has exactly the same one and wants a second opinion or instruction about it.
Are you going to give them what they want, or just keep telling the world how much you hate your job?
Start your own blog network.
This is not a job for the faint of heart. Being an administrator for a network of blogs, whether you be a silent admin or a ban-and-burn-every-bad-IP boss, you are going to experience some bad-times when taking control of rabble-rousers, spam(DOS)-attacks, and people who know more than you. If you manage to find the latter, hire them. Make your enemies your friends and control the world.
Provide service and support for open source software.
This is one of the greatest areas that the younger generation can get into. While you still have the ability to listen-and-learn all that is put before you, learn how to teach. If you can write a manual that is easy to read, you’re on easy street! Make it available online, start a forum, an answering-service, and keep your niche-market focused. Again, be sure you know your product – because there’s always someone out there who’s learning more than you.
Online life coaching.
Many humans require some form of coaching at some point in their life. Because we sometimes have trouble negotiating the perilous roads of life itself, giving instructions that make people feel a bit happier is always going to be favoured reading matter. Which is why I try to focus my posts in this direction. Because even I know there can be discouraging times throughout the working day. Take a moment to relax, breathe, remember how good it is to have a roof over your head, and write about it. It works for me.
Virtually assist other web workers.
One of the most interesting finds of my day is this idea of a job. Yes, they say that you can be someone’s online personal assistant!
This has got to be the coolest job on the planet. Rather than worrying about where your head is at, let someone registered with AssistU &/or the IVAA find it for you. I’m unsure whether I need this service or could work as a VPA!
Build services atop Amazon Web Services.
This is not an area I am familiar with, but understand that it deserves further reading and research.
Write reviews for pay or perks.
This is an area that appeals, mainly because there are so many items – both online and offline – that really need a proper review.
From dSLR-Camera to USB-Cactus, everything on the planet is receiving an opinion on its value, availability, accuracy, and productivity. This is a job that is not so easy. It’s rare to find writers who know how to construct a sentence that doesn’t include SMS-speak or sporadic use of pro-nouns. If you feel you can string a few paragraphs of legible words, then you might find yourself reviewing various items in your possession or might like to own.
Consequently, the manufacturers and retailers of said objects may be willing to “gift” you the product for a decent response. But this becomes an interesting problem. Remember the fiasco when Microsoft handed over the Ferrari computers to a whole bunch of bloggers?
Become a virtual gold farmer.
This one took me a while to understand. Digging for gold online? What and how? No, it appears the gold is not the yellow shiny stuff that Australians revere when found with a metal-detector, but merely a metaphor for virtual … something. I still don’t get this. Feel free to enlighten me.

Three More Ways (To Make Money Online)

A whole niche of geeks have found ten more ways that all web-addicts can make money online. Here are those listed that were of any interest and stopped me laughing. I’d like to think these are possible and maybe will help the writer make a few extra dollars. Like Dmitri Davydov says, write and the money will follow.

Make money naming domains. Read about the the original idea at Dane Carson’s blog.
Sell everything at eBay..
I must say this is not somewhere I go regularly, and really don’t like the idea. But I know a lot of people are buying and selling house-hold items through eBay. A lot of Australian house-wives have turned their families into hoarders of toys and ornaments in the off-chance that some sucker on the internet might want to clutter their homes with other peoples rubbish. Not me. But I might use the service to sell some stuff that my brother won’t take from our shed. Anyone need a pair of Nissan Patrol Running-boards? Please?!
eBay copywriting
Again at eBay, but with a much better idea, as long as you have strong negotiation skills. And can write good :). Yeah, you see them all the time: Item descriptions that had all the meaning sucked out of them when translated from Molvanian to English. Consequently, that “white elephant” became a “blank skinny trunk” and the “enriched coffee” became “dollar-loaded brown-bean“. Which is where you come in. Take your typing fingers, your wordy-wit, your love of all things written good and proper to show eBay sellers the correct words to capture the eyes of the buyers! Well, you can only try.
But the concept doesn’t end there. Then you have to convince the seller to give-up a percentage of the sale to pay you for your efforts. One percent should be plenty, but that is something you will negotiate. I offer no help in that arena, only luck and good fortune.

There you have it, thirteen ways to assist you in making money online. I hope one or two of these ideas helps you. Ok, people, who is helping themselves with these ideas?
