The 'How To' Marketing Forum

Hi,

I have tried out ad typing jobs and surveys when I got started on the internet as a newbie as these things promise to make some instant money.

The worst part is that after doing all this stuff I never got paid from one of the ad typing companies.

It is really frustrating to get started this way as you will not build your future doing this stuff.

Here's a simple thing you can do to make money online, it is easy if you try out.

Writing articles. Articles is nothing but content. If you write articles for other websites in bulk you can easily get paid between $5 to $20 per article, for writing just 400 words.

You can get such article writing projects at elance or rentacoder or many outsourcing based sites.

So this is a profitable way to earn, also if you contact individual website owners regarding article writing projects and give them decent deal they will approve you for the project.

Rather writing articles for others write articles for yourself and earn money using affiliate products. There is a concept called BUM MARKETING, type it in google and you will know it is a way to earn money using articles.

Also thru articles you can setup your own site, build ecourse, drive traffic and do lot more stuff to earn money.

But make sure you do something that will benefit you in future too rather than getting into an online job.

Just my 2 cents

I agree, and forgive me if I sound angry here but, I HATE ONLINE SURVEYS and anything like them. They are simply a load of BS. NO SUPPORT, NO EXPLAINING, AND THEY ARE NEVER WHAT THEY SEEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to somewhat disagree ....

I did a lot of research on online surveys. While it is true that there are
those that are a waste of time, there "are" some great ones out there.

One such company I researched paid me $75 for my first survey which
only took about twenty minutes. These sites do exist. However, the
surveys are far and few between.

Another survey site that I still use ... has paid for my son's Christmas
present each year. And I only go there when I feel like I have the
time to spare.

Bottom line ... it's all about doing your "due diligence" to weed out
the bad sites and focus on the good.

.

I agree I'm not fond of paid surveys either

There is an ebook that Willie Crawford was promoting
called "Survey Secrets Exposed".

Willie says this ebook actually show how to start your own online
survey business. It describes the amazingly lucrative
opportunities to generate a substantial income from it.

Usually Willie is right on the mark... so if he recommends surveys
then you probably can make money if done correctly.

However according to a report I read by Ewen Chia, SurveyScout is a very high quality service where you can get paid for all kinds of things (Surveys, Discussion Groups, Playing Games) So if you are interested I think you should check it out.
I personally feel that affiliate marketing is the best way to make money online. There are so many resources to help you get started, you just have to take action.

Everyone in every Forum says take Action but not one of these people ever reply with what actions to take buy more junk sell more junk promote more junk setup more lost in the woods website's.

Here's the ACTION one can take.

1. Give up looking for pot of gold at end of rainbow.
2. Give up following marketing guru's around.
3. Set up a real BUSINESS of your own choosing.

The internet is a "business" world .. not a "get rich quick" playground.

Get over it ....

Now in this contemporary world, online marketing is an alternative way of earning money while at work or having a vacation... My experience is very great it really helps me a lot

I have also found that surveys just don't pay......

Hmm this is not really good to hear,anyway all the internet business that most success is Affiliate Program it cool and rock,but before you involve you have to make sure you know how to get your backlink,traffic,seo etc otherwise it won't work and also you have to understand that this kind of business is not a overnite profit, You must have a courage and positive thinking only you will succeed.

Anyway good luck to you guys

Bottom line: Surveys ARE a HUGE waste of time

Yes, you can make some small change here and there, but you are still paid
according to the value you provide. Surveys don't provide much value and
requre very little effort and skill. It's just filling out and answering a few
questions here and there, why SHOULD these companies pay top dollar
for a survey when there are MILLIONS of people competing for the same
"survey taking" opportunity?

What you earn is a direct reflection of the value you give to others. That's
why so many cashiers are having such a hard time getting raises or getting
paid more than the avg. 7$ per hour. It's because anyone with half-a brain
can do it.

Find a skill, vocation, profession that very few people are willing to learn.
Learn it, excel at it, practice it, and you will see the money rolling in at your
doorstep.

I also like to earn money But I have some doubt about this.
