How do you actually make money online with no website of your own?… On the surface, it seems like making money online come down to having a website at one point or another. But the reality is far from that!
Yes, having a website helps you make money in so many ways, and in some cases, a website is the most important thing you need to earn cash on the Internet. But a website is not necessary for making money online. A lot of people are earning money online working from home without owing a single website or blog. Wanna know how they do it?…
Try Swagbucks, the famous rewards program that pays you for watching videos, taking surveys, shopping and more.
Here are 6 easy ways you can make money from home without a website:
1- Paid Surveys
One of the best and easiest ways of earning money online with no website or blog is through participating in market research studies, or paid surveys, as they are known online.
First, you do some research, and find real and legitimate paid surveys sites. Once you register with them (free), you can expect to receive survey invitations whenever there are survey opportunities that match your profile.
These surveys are done for companies and manufacturers who want to know what people think of their products and services. They then use this data to improve their products, and also to develop new products.
Most of these online surveys take anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes to complete. And depending on the length of the survey, you can expect to get paid anywhere from $1 to up to $75 per survey.
One thing to keep in mind is that paid survey industry is full of scams. You need to be careful not to fall for any survey scams. The most important thing to remember is that all, and I mean 100% of legitimate paid survey sites, are free to join.
If you have to only sign up for one paid survey site to make money with, I recommend Ipsos-iSay. Ipsos is the most fun and well-paying panel. Give it a try to see how you like it. It is free anyway!
2- Fiverr.com
Fiverr is a new microfreelancing website that has taken the freelancing world by storm. You can get people to do just about anything on Fiverr for 5 bucks. Best of all, you too can offer lots of different gigs for $5. But that $5 can be earned over and over again, as you will be selling the same gig over and over again.
Simply sign up for free, and start offering a service. Selling gigs on Fiverr is by far one of the best ways of making money online without a website.
3- GPT Programs
GPT or Get Paid to programs are basically websites that will pay you for doing many different things, most of which you do online anyway, things like visiting websites, playing games, shopping, subscribing to free newsletters, etc.
They get paid from their advertisers to generate leads for them. So, every time you complete an offer on their website, they get a commission from that specific advertiser. That’s how GPT sites can afford to pay you and I for doing such simple things.
Although, you might not make thousands of dollars with these programs, you can make some extra spending cash. And these days, I think everyone would appreciate a few extra bucks.
4- Writing Articles
Fresh and quality content is what pulls in visitors to websites and blogs, which determines the success or failure of those sites. So, fresh and useful content is always on demand. You can make good money writing articles online.
There are hundreds of websites that pay you to write for them. The best thing about making money writing online is that you don’t need a website, and you can start right away. In most cases, the results are almost instantaneous, meaning you get paid as soon as you deliver the work.
You can get paid anywhere from $5 to $50 and even higher for each article you write. Best way to find online writing jobs is through freelancing sites like Elance.com, Guru.com, and Internet marketing related forums where webmaster and bloggers who may need content hang out, such as WarriorFourm.com and DigitalForum.com.
5- Rewriting PLR Articles
Writing articles takes time, specially if you are not familiar with the topic, so you could waste a lot of time researching and learning about the subject. But if you don’t have much time, or want to make quicker money writing articles online, you can use what are called PLR articles.
With PLR, You can even write about topics that you don’t know anything about. These are articles that you have the full right to publish as your own, or modify in anyway you like.
Of course, nobody would pay for a PLR article as is, since it’s already out there, but what you can do is, change the article, and rewrite it in your own words.
This is an easy way to make money writing online. You don’t have to spend time researching the subject, or checking this and that. It’s all done for you. You just have to rewrite it in your own words, and sell it as your own.
It’s perfectly legal, and hundreds of people are making money using PLR articles everyday. You can use the same websites and forums mentioned above to sell your rewritten PLR articles.
6- Amazon Mechanical Turk
Mturk is part of the almighty amazon corporation. On MTurk, you can get paid for doing small tasks that can not be done by machines and computers. These are tasks that can only be done by humans, such as distinguishing the diffidence between 2 seemingly identical image, or listening to a 30 second audio, and converting it to text, etc.
These tasks, as they are called on Mturk, don’t pay much. Most of them pay in small amounts like $0.25 per task. But they usually don’t take more than 20 seconds or so to complete, and there are thousands of them. Of course, there are tasks that pay as much as $40 per task, but such tasks require much more time, and are hard to come by.
7- Selling On eBay
I know, you probably are tired of hearing about this old trick. But the truth is that eBay is still the biggest auction site in the world, and thousands of items are sold on it very single day. Thousands of people, just like you and I, are making money selling those items.
You don’t have to have thousand of dollars to invest in buying wholesale products to make money selling on eBay. You can simply start by selling your old unused items. You might think no one would pay for an old used item, but you’d be wrong, as the whole purpose of eBay was to allow people to easily buy and sell such items. And let’s not forget that one man’s trash as anther man’s treasure.
After a while, when you got your feet wet, you can scale it up, and maybe offer to sell your friend and family’s unwanted items, for a small fee. Most of them will be happy to pay you a commission for getting rid of things they didn’t want or need anymore.
8- Online Forums
Running a successful website or blog requires a lot of work and time. There is SEO to be done, content to be created, backlinks to be built, and so on. A lot of webmasters and bloggers don’t have time to do all of these tasks by themselves. So, they pay other people to do these tasks for them.
You can find these webmasters and bloggers on popular Internet marketing and webmaster related forums. You can offer to do simple things like commenting on related blogs with their name and link, submitting their articles for them to hundreds of article directories, submitting their website or blog to website and blog directories, building backlinks, and tons of other things that are essential for running a successful site.
You can make a decent amount of money doing these tasks. A lot of big time online companies started like that, offering services to a few webmaster and bloggers. Over time they acquired more and more clients, and have turned into profit producing companies catering to the needs of webmasters and bloggers alike.
Although, these methods don’t require a website, or any technical knowledge or experience, they all have one thing in common, and that’s the fact that to succeed with any of these methods you have to work hard. You have to put enough time and effort into them if you want to earn money.
Remember, there are many other methods like the ones mentioned above. You just have to be creative, and be willing to think outside the box in order to find other ways of making money online without a website.
