Make More Money Without Spending a Dime
How do you make money while spending less? Well, I can’t answer that but if you ask me “how do I make more money without spending a single dime? “, that I know the answer for sure. Even with no product and no website, you can get paid just for what and who you know. How? Make online money.
Making money online traditionally require you to have your own website, products to sell and some marketing skills. But new means have arisen that can pay you for what you know and who you know without you having to be a marketing genius or a skilled web designer.
But the problem now lies on how to tell hype from the real deal. When you search on “make money online” and “make money now”, much of the information out there is just promoting various info products, mostly about internet marketing. That’s why people sometimes wonder if there’s anyone making money online besides Internet marketing experts.
So I created a list of business opportunities with the following features:
- Pay cash, not just points to gain rewards or a chance to win money
- Don’t require you to have your own domain or products
- Don’t involve hard-selling
- Aren’t promoting much internet marketing
- Give good returns on your time investment
In the spirit of objectivity, none of the sites stated below are affiliate links, and none of them have paid or provided consideration to be included. These are legitimate companies with business models allowing you to get paid for a wide range of activities.
1. Help your friends find better jobs
Sites like ReferEarns, Zyoin, Bohire and WiseStepp connect employers with prospective employees. Rewards for referring a candidate who gets hired range from $50 up to several thousand dollars. If you know a lot of job-seekers this is a great way to break into the recruiting business without overhead.
2. Connect suppliers with buyers
Referral fee is a common practice in business, but they have not been used that much in online networking sites for there was no way to track them. Sites like Salesconx, and uRefer can now provide that. Vendors set the referral fees they are willing to pay, and when the transaction occurs, you get paid.
3. Write
A growing number of sites pay for your articles or blog posts. Associated Content and Helium for example will “pay for performance” based on page views – about anything you want to write about. Articles on specific topics they’re looking for can earn you direct payments up to about $200. The rate is probably low for established writers, but it’s a great way to start. Also, a lot of companies need part-time bloggers as well. They may pay you per post or on a steady contract.
4. Start your own blog
You don’t have to develop your own site, install blogging software, or even figure out how advertising works just to make money online. At Blogger you can set up a blog for free in about five minutes without knowing a thing about web design. Blogger automates setting up Google AdSense so you can make money off your blog through displaying ads to be paid on per click basis. To make more money from it, set up an affiliate program and insert your affiliate links whenever you refer to those items.
5. Engage in microstock photography
You don’t need to be a professional photographer to sell your photos. People are in constant need of stock photography for websites, presentations, brochures and many more. They are willing to pay for the right image. People usually search for images on stock photography sites using keywords, not photographer. So more likely you have the same chance as anybody of having your image picked. If it’s a decent photo, then upload it. Some sites to get you started include Fotolia, ShutterStock, and iStockphoto.
This list is by no means comprehensive, but it highlights some of the new and interesting ways to make money online without you having to invest any money, without having products of your own, and without having expert marketing skills as it’s just all potential substantial return on your time investment
