How to Make Money Online

There're 2 categories you can fall under if you wish to make money online. The 1st way is to be a service provider and contribute your time to internet business owners.

1. Service providers include skills in Writing, Programming, Banner design, Website design, Wordpress site design, and any other technical skills that are typcially outsourced by Internet Business owners. Because all you contribute is your talent and time, there is hardly much monetary investment incurred and little risk. Places you can go to are elance.com or guru.com.

One thing to note though is that when you start out, because of the competitve nature of the area, you might need to take jobs at below cost in order to 1st build up your reputation. Job providers, which are the internet business owners will leave ratings on your work and service. So if you get 5 stars, you can expect more job providers to give you their jobs. So be sure to give good work at all times or your reputation might go bust and you will need to start from scratch to build up a good reputation.

2. The other way to make money online is to be at the other end of the spectrum. Which is to be an internet business owner. There're many kinds of online business you can get into. So long as you're providing a service, a physical product, a digital product, or a recommendation that provides value to another person, then accepting monetary returns in exchange, any of these models can be good for you.

The one that requires least amount of capital but financially rewarding is to simply recommend something good and get a commission. In most cases, to succeed in this model requires some small investment but the returns are usually very high. If you invested $100, you'll probably get back $3000, when done right. As a product or service provider, there is going to be staff, delivery cost and all this will come to more then $10k up to $50k a month in expenses.

You can make money online depending on the level of risk you're willing to take. Then choose your poison and take action.
