Best Ways to Earn Money Online from Internet

1. Do Blogging

Blogging is a nice way to make free money.

Blogging is a nice way to make free money.

Obviously, this was going to be the first on my list (I am also a professional blogger after all!). Professional blogging is one of the best known method of getting income from computer based jobs. We all arrive at blogs while surfing and we see advertisements on many blogs. So, we can easily know that the owner of that blog is earning some amount of money from writing the blog content.

There are a number of good and free blog sites where you can easily setup your blog. After setup, you should write about things that really interest you. Once your blog is adequately settled (let’s say when it begins to receive 100 visitors a day), then you should put online ads on it. You can use Google AdSense for getting ads (like I do on TechWelkin) or you can use ad service provided by other networks like Yahoo! Media.net. WordPress.com also provides its own ads.

To create a money making blog, I would recommend that you invest in the following tools. I am also using these tools for TechWelkin:

By the way, did you know that Google makes 95% of its revenue from advertisement? Bloggers get share from this revenue if they publish Google ads on their blogs. I keep on writing articles about how to become a successful blogger. You should keep an eye on these articles.

Skills required for professional blogging: Good command on language, ability to write in an interesting way, familiarity with basic coding and other technical stuff like SEO.

How much money can you earn from blogging?

With a blog with one thousand visitors per day, a blogger can from $0.5 to $30 per day. Blogging can fetch you varied amounts of money depending upon the web traffic you receive and the monetization strategy you adopt. Many people argue that using affiliate marketing model is far better than using Google AdSense. I tend to disagree with this but certainly what works for one blog may not work for another.

Bloggers in US, UK and Canada make millions of dollars from their blogs. They are more entrepreneurial —many bloggers have actually turned their blogs into content or media companies. Huffington Post, for example, was only a blog and now it is one of the most influential news aggregator in the world. Story of Mashable is also similar.

In India, established bloggers, like Amit Agarwal, make hundreds of thousands of rupees every month. These are full time bloggers. Those who do part-time blogging, their earnings also depends on how much time they devote to their blogs. But blogging can certainly make you an income tax payer!

How much money can you earn from AdSense?

Many successful bloggers and webmasters earn $100 to $500 per day with Google AdSense. Some bloggers in USA earn several thousand dollars every day from AdSense. Earning from AdSense heavily depends on the CPC rate you get from Google. In countries like USA, Canada, UK, Australia, the CPC rate is very high —that’s why bloggers make much more money in these countries. So, go on and become a professional blogger!

2. Design Website Themes

Design themes for platforms like WordPress and Blogger.

Design themes for platforms like WordPress and Blogger.

All websites and blogs require a “theme” (also called template or skin) which dictates how the site looks like. For example, TechWelkin theme is based on Genesis Framework and I have designed it myself.

You can also become a theme designer if you have good sense of design and other required skills. Once a theme is done, you can sell it on theme stores or you can setup your own website through which people can buy your themes. Designing themes for platforms like WordPress, Blogger, Joomla, Drupal etc. is a lucrative business. You can earn decently income from this profession.

Skills required: Web design sense, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, Photoshop or another image editor, knowledge of the target platform.

How much money can you earn from designing themes?

Usually, one copy of a theme sells anywhere between $10 to $100. So, even if you sell just  one hundred copies, you may make thousands of dollars. If you design a customized theme for a specific client, you can charge even more depending on the efforts you had to put in.

3. Become an Online Teacher

You can impart knowledge and be a teacher on Internet.

You can impart knowledge and be a teacher on Internet.

Yes! you can be an online teacher. And the great thing about it is that you can teach virtually anything. So, whatever is your skill and expertise —you will be able to offer lessons to perspective students.

SkillsShare is one such service which allows you to be an online teacher. After registering, you can create courses (classes) on whatever subject you know. It could range anything from cooking to mathematics to engineering to designing to languages to whatever!

There is another similar service called Udemy. On these websites you basically sell your courses to earn money from online teaching service. You get paid when a student takes the online course developed by you.

Skills required: expertise in subject on which you’re offering course. Knowledge of Photoshop and making videos is also useful as these things can make your course more interesting and easy to understand.

4. Write e-Books

Writing and publishing e-books can bring you loads of money!

Writing and publishing e-books can bring you loads of money!

If you have a story to tell or if you want to share your expertise in the form of a book, well then, go ahead and write a book! What better could be there than writing a book! You don’t need traditional pen and paper. Become a completely tech-savvy author. Use MS-Word to write your book. Once the book is ready, you don’t even need a publisher! You can self-publish and sell e-book versions through platoforms like Amazon’s Kindle, Google Play Store and Apple’s app store (iBooks). If you’re in India, Flipkart, Infibeam etc. are also great choices. You can sell both e-books or printed books.

Also there are online services like Lulu where you can order print copies of your book. Buyers will be able to purchase print copies right from there or you can put print copies on sale through Amazon, Flipkart, eBay etc.

5. Sell Designer Merchandise

You can sell personalized designer items online to earn money.

You can sell personalized designer items online to earn money.

Can you draw well enough? Have you ever thought that even your drawing (or even doodling) can help you make free money online?

You can print designs, drawings or photos created by you on items like coffee cups, t-shirts, bags etc. and then sell them. A friend of mine is pretty good at making designs. She created her own zazzle online shop and began to sell stuff. Here is how it works:

  • Create your design and fine-tune it
  • Register at Zazzle.com and create your own shop (it’s very easy!)
  • Zazzle has merchandise items like cups, cards, t-shirts etc.
  • Customer comes to your online shop. He selects a design from your catalog and then selects a merchandise item. Customer then places order to get the item with your design on it.
  • Zazzle prints your design on selected item and send it to customer.
  • You get your share from the money earned by Zazzle.

Just to help you understand it better, here is a video that shows how Zazzle can help you in making money:

Besides Zazzle, CafePress and Threadless services are also good options for minting online income!

6. Create a YouTube Channel

YouTube pays well for the monetized videos. Create interesting videos to make money from Internet.

YouTube pays well for the monetized videos. Create interesting videos to earn money from Internet.

I am sure you have watched more than one videos on YouTube. All internet users have! It is after all the world’s largest video sharing service. But now enough of just watching. Create your own videos and share them with the world. What’s more, you can earn money from these videos!

You can shoot small (or big!) video clips using mobile phone, handycam or professional video camera. Or you can make videos from pictures using your computer. OR you can create animated videos and tutorials. Once your video is ready, upload it on YouTube and monetize it. YouTube will show ads along with your video and share revenue with you.

A lot of people have earned great amount of money through this online work. Most of it is home-based job —but you may need to venture outside to shoot videos.

Skills required: Know how of using a video camera and video editing software.

How much can you earn from YouTube?

If your YouTube channel has a million subscribers, you can earn from $100,000 to $300,000 per month. Mostly it depends on how interesting your videos are. Secondly, it depends on the how many people have subscribed to your YouTube channel. The stories of Olga Kay and Mimi Ikonn will tell you that they definitely earn more than $100,000 every year from their YouTube channels. This is the minimum. No one really knows the exact amount but many sources say that they could actually be touching one million dollars every year.

Earning huge money from YouTube sounds great. But it requires a lot of appeal, creativity and hard work. Even if you do not make millions, YouTube is a great way to make decent income.

7. Find Internet-based Jobs of Any Kind

If you’re looking for providing admin or technical support to others, there are several places where you can find jobs. Just browse through them and select the one that suits you.

Upwork, for example, is one such place. Clients post job details on Upwork and job seekers like you take on the work. Mostly the work involves working through computer and internet. However, it entirely depends on the specific job. You may get work like software or web development, writing assignments, proof-reading work, business development etc. There are lots of jobs to choose from.

Other similar places are eLance and TaskRabbit. TaskRabbit also offers jobs that are not entirely online (for example, helping someone with moving their house).

Skills required: Depends on the job you select.

8. Do Translations

Lots of translation jobs are available online for language experts.

Lots of translation jobs are available online for language experts.

If you know any two languages very well, there are plenty of translation jobs available online. And they pay well. You make good money from online work of translation.

Translatorsbase.com is perhaps the best website I know where you can regularly get online translation work. You will need to bid for every piece of work and if you win the bid, work is yours to do and the client pays you through the website. You can do translation work on your computer and submit the finished work through Translatorsbase.

9. Do Transcription Jobs

In transcription, usually you need to listen to an audio or video and type out what was spoken in that. Or you may be asked to look at an image (like a receipt) and type out the text details visible in there. It may sound easy, but trust me this work requires patience, experience and skills. Being able to understand various accents, hand writings and thorough knowledge of the language is a must.

Such jobs are available through Upwork, eLance etc. But Amazon Mechanical Turks is a specialized service that offers what they call “Human Intelligence Tasks”. These are the tasks that computer can not do perfectly and therefore require human intervention. That intervention is what you provide!

Client offers a specific payment amount for every such job. You can decide whether you want to do that job of the offered price or not.

10. Get into Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing is a great way to earn money from your blog or website.

Affiliate Marketing is a great way to earn money from your blog or website.

If you have a successful blog or website, you can also get affiliated with other vendors and show their ads on your website. If a customer sees an advert on your website and through that purchases an item from vendor’s online store, you get a commission from the sale amount.

Affiliate advertisement is different from Google AdSense. You get paid from AdSense on clicks (cost per click or CPC model)… but in case of affiliate ads, you get paid only when customer really purchases the product through an advertisement on your website.

ShareASale is one of the best place to find affiliate advertisements. With advertisers in the network of ShareASale, you can make eye-popping money!

Commission Junction (now known just as CJ) is another good place to find affiliate ad opportunities. It is a website where you can get affiliate offers from a large number of brands and vendors. Companies like Amazon, eBay, Flipkart also run their separate affiliate programs. You can use them too. To help you even more, I have written a review of Flipkart’s affiliate program. I would recommend that you select an affiliate product which is relevant to the content of your own website. Such products convert the best into real sale (and therefore into real money for you). For example, if you have a blog on books, you can show affiliate ads from Amazon showcasing only books.

11. Sell Your Used Stuff

There are hundreds of online services where you can easily sell your things that are no longer in use. For example, if you’ve an old mobile phone handset lying useless in your drawer, you can sell it on eBay or Cragilist (oh, this Craiglist thing was really useful when I was living abroad!). If you’re in India you can use OLX and Quickr. These are free classified ad websites. Almost all of them have a mobile app as well. All this makes it pretty easy to convert old and useless stuff like CDs, books, clothes, stationary, toys into money.

I wonder if you would put this under “making money online” category! Well, I certainly would!

12. Get Online Programming Jobs

If you’re a programmer, you can find ad-hoc coding jobs online. Just take the project, build it, test it, submit it and get the payment. Freelancer (formerly known as Rent-a-Coder) is out there for years. It does not matter which programming language or platform you can work on, you’ll find jobs for all. Freelancer website does the job of connecting programmers with clients. There are other alternatives like Guru, oDesk, eLance and TaskRabbit.

13. Start an Online Newsletter Magazine

Ok, I have already told you about writing a book and also about becoming a blogger. But if you don’t want to post daily (as a blogger does) or sit for weeks or months to write a book —then you can opt for the fabled Middle Path; that is to say that you can serve content as a periodical.

You can start a e-newsletter (or a e-magazine) and ask people to subscribe to it for a fee. Websites like Aweber and MailChimp can help you manage subscriptions and dispatch of your e-newsletter. If your newsletter has a wide reach, you may also be able to show ads in your newsletter and/or find sponsors for your newsletter.

14. Sell Creative Works on Internet

Many websites like ArtFire and Etsy allow you to sell whatever creative you can make. Take a look at these websites and you’ll be astonished at the variety of stuff people make and sell it through Internet. Larger web stores, like eBay, also allow you to earn money from your creative instincts.

You can make interesting stuff with junk, knit wooly patterns, create funky jewellery, hand-paint vases, make stuffed toys —trust me if you try; you can really work at home and then convert it into a business with the help of the network of networks, the amazing Internet. Earning from internet is not entirely a myth after all!

15. Lend Your Voice!

Got a good voice? Record. Send File. Get Payment! There are hosts of voice-over jobs available on Internet.

Got a good voice? Record. Send File. Get Payment! There are hosts of voice-over jobs available on Internet.

Have you got a deep baritone voice? or a bubbly, chirpy one? or may be the one that has the chime and clarity of a tolling bell! If yes, you can online lend your voice as voice over artist. You can narrate stories, news and other text items. A friend of mine uses Umano and he is pretty thrilled with the experience. You can also use VoiceBunny or Voice123 for the same purpose.

You would need to have a good audio recording setup at home and that’s all. Just pick a job from above mentioned websites, do it by recording your narration, upload the resultant audio file. And then get paid for your work. All this can be done from your desk at home. Dreamy? Nah! it is a good reality. Come on! jump on the bandwagon of online professionals.

16. Help Kids in their Studies

I have already mentioned SkillShare and Udemy as websites where you act a bit like a lecturer. You make courses and people buy them. But if you don’t wanna get into full-fledged course development and just want to help students with their current academic issues, you’re still in luck as there are several online places where you can get tuition assignments also.

Here you can help kids with their school or homework and teach them specific subjects. Tutor.com and TutorVista.com are among such websites where you can get online tuition assignments.

17. Sell Photos Online

Photographers can sell their work through various websites.

Photographers can sell their work through various websites.

Do you love photography? Do you click good enough photos? Well, if yes, you can find a buyer on websites like iStockPhoto and CreativeMarket. Don’t think that your photos are not good enough. Give it a try —and you may be in for a surprise! Folks out there need all sorts of photos for publishing online and in print. So, number and variety of photos required is never enough. Go ahead and be a professional photographer!

And, by the way, if you look great… you can even sell your selfies. But first you’ll have to learn how to take good selfie photos. Then try your luck (however, you must consider privacy concerns in case of selfie.)

18. Sell Website, Domain Name or Mobile Apps

If you own a domain name or a website (even a defunct one!) or a mobile app… and you want to sell it off, you should visit Flippa or Sedo or GoDaddy Auctions. On these websites, you can set a base price for what you’re selling and then perspective buyers bid in an auction format. Such a model maximizes your earning from selling domain name or website or mobile app.

I have mentioned above about building website or a blog in order to earn money online. But it is not always that people become a successful blogger. After a point of time, most bloggers feel frustrated, just call it a day and quit. What’s left behind is a constructed website and a domain name. If you have no plan to proceed further with your website or blog, you can always sell it to get money from what’s left.

A word of advice here, do not get into full-time blogging from the beginning. Professional blogging is a tough nut to crack and it takes quite a bit of time before you will be able to earn enough money from blogging alone. Begin as a part-time blogger and then later on switch to full-time.

19. Become a Website Tester

UserTesting is a place where crowd tests websites. Webmasters and e-commerce companies hire people like you to surf their newly built or renovated website. You surf the website and provide them with the feedback. And you get paid or this! Easy, isn’t it? Well, yes, it is one of the easier online jobs. But again, you need to take it seriously. The more useful feedback you can provide to the website owner, the more jobs you’ll be able to find in future.

20. Make and Sell Music

Apart from voice-over, which I mentioned above, you can do another recording based work. If you know how to touch the right chords on a musical instrument —you should compose music and then sell it online. No need to keep running after music companies. Other companies also need music. You can compose and sell smaller tunes like jingles, ringtones and even full-songs.

There are online music stores where you can directly sell music MP3 files. These stores include iTunes (oh well, you already know it! don’t you?), Pandora, Amazon, Spotify, Google Play etc. There are also online services which put your music in these stores on your behalf. DistroKid and loudr.fm are among the better choices.

21. Become a Guest Writer

If you’re an expert in a particular field (like technology, health, cars, business development or anything else) you can write guest posts for bloggers who run profitable blogs on these subjects. Some big bloggers who earn money from blogging, can pay good amount of money if you can write an authoritative post for them. You can even earn as much as $500 by writing just one article! I have written an article about what is guest blogging and how should be done.

Remember, however easy it may sound, but you get good money from guest blogging only if you really are an expert in your field. People do not pay for mediocre guest articles.

22. Fill Survey Forms and Get Money

Can you really earn money by filling online survey forms? Years ago, I came across the first advertisement that was inviting people to fill online surveys and get paid in return. At that time, frankly, I thought it was a scam! Why would someone pay for a simple task as filling an online survey form?

But later I realized that it is indeed possible to earn money by paid surveys. Research agencies and companies of all sizes need to know what public is thinking. Do you know that surveying public for their opinion is over $40 billion industry. There are several websites that act as a bridge between surveyors and the public (that is you!). These websites bring you online surveys and pay you for for filling them.

Responding to online surveys are a good way to make quick bucks.

Responding to online surveys are a good way to make quick bucks.

Some of the good online survey websites are The Opinion Panel, OnePoll, Toluna, MySurvey, Vivatic, YouGov and SurveyBods. You can go and register on these websites. After registration, these websites will keep on sending you surveys. You need to fill them up and get your rewards.

How do you get paid for filling online surveys? Well, most of these websites offer you vouchers of popular online stores. You can redeem these vouchers and buy anything of your liking from these stores. Some websites also pay you in cash via PayPal.

You should fill these surveys with honesty. Don’t take these polls just as a money making exercise. Read all the questions carefully and then enter your frank opinion.

How much can you earn from online surveys?

Usually you can earn to the tunes of $2 per survey. Filling online surveys does not pay handsome money —it is just good for earning some extra bucks. Companies involved in online surveys pay very little amounts and in many cases they don’t pay cash. When you will open an account and fill surveys, these companies will award you points. When you earn a certain number of reward points, you can get an equivalent gift (and sometimes cash).

23. Become an Online Researcher

If you love to surf the Internet and if you love to read a lot on websites —then why not to use this talent in a more targeted manner and do research for others. There are all sorts of organizations out there who need to research about almost everything. They hire people who can surf the Internet for a particular topic and give them the relevant information.

In this type of online work, you don’t really need to be a writer. All you need is an eye for finding relevant information and compiling it in a logical fashion. Just find the information, compile it in a specified format and send it to the organization by email. They will pay you handsomely. You will get better pay if you can dig out information that would otherwise be difficult to find on the Internet.

Making correlations among various pieces of information and deducting something out of it is a much sought after skill in this job.

24. Making News Summary / News Gist

This work is similar to doing online research. The only difference is that you would only focus on the news websites. You will be given a specific subject (for example, law and court judgements). Your job would be to skim through all the news websites and find the news items related to the given subject. Then you will need to read these news items and summarize them in a few lines. At the end of the day, you will need to send all the gist that you’ve made back to the company and they will pay you for this.

Top-notch decision makers need such news gist because they don’t have time to find and read all the relevant news. So, they will go through the summary provided by you. They may request complete articles for the news that will particularly interest them.

For making online news gist, some companies give you a monthly salary (you can get as much as US $4,000 per month) while some other companies prefer to make payment based on the amount of work you do.

How much money can you earn from Internet?

Before I tell you about the methods, let me put a word about the expected results. If you think earning online is an easy job —if you think it is a cakewalk —you’re wrong! You will have to work hard and take your online job very seriously if you wish to be successful. And how successful can you become?

Well, it depends. And it is no rocket science to understand what it depends on! The skills you have, the work you choose, how good you are in your craft and how much time you can dedicate to work —all this affects your total sum earned —just like in “real life” jobs.

If it can motivate you, there are lots of people who are earning hundreds of thousands of dollars (and even millions) from Internet entrepreneurship / profession. And yes, that too while working alone from home!

There is no such indicator as to how much you as earn. Also, in my view, you should not look for such information. Just focus on what you enjoy doing and if you put in sufficient amount of time and hard-work —soon you’ll being to see the rewards. Believe me, if you don’t enjoy what you’re doing —then you should forget about success!

How to Get Payment After Earning Money Online

Once you have become an online entrepreneur and have setup your online business, one of the major concern becomes how to receive payment from your clients. Well, most of the services I mentioned above do pay via easy options like PayPal, checks and wire transfer. PayPal is indeed a blessing for online entrepreneurs. You can very easily send to and receive money from your clients. Functioning of PayPal is straightforward and totally hassle free.

In case you have decided to setup your own website and you’re selling products or services through it, then you would need a payment gateway service. Payment gateways are services that facilitates online payments.If you use a payment gateway, you’ll be able to accept payment from your customers through credit cards, debit cards, cash cards and net banking etc. You would need to give payment gateway provider a percentage of every transaction. Best payment gateways in USA are PayPal, Google Wallet, Amazon Payment and Skrill. Best payment gateways in India include Citrus Pay, CCAvenue etc.

I hope this information was useful for you. Please feel free to ask should you have any questions on this topic. I will be happy to try and help. Thank you for using TechWelkin.

    Hello Lalit sir,

    I am a student and I wanted to do some work to be self-dependent… and I think online job is a good platform. I think my artwork and designing creativity is quite good so I am thinking of registering on Zazzle.com, but there is a problem how can i post my designs on that blog? can u please help me.

    And thank you so much for your useful article. :-)

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Hello Aarti, Zazzle has comprehensive online help available. Please refer to that and you will find all the steps of uploading designs on Zazzle. All the best!

  2. krisha says:

    Dear sir, can anyone earn money by uploading those videos, audios, images downloaded from other websites?

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Hi Krisha, you asked a good question. It is not at all recommended to use other people’s work to make money. All the responsible companies (like YouTube) keep an eye on copied content and bars you from earning an income from it. See, earning money from Internet is NOT an easy job. If you really want to earn decent and regular income, you will have to work VERY hard and make your own product. There is no shortcut to online success. You may make a few dollars by cheating, but soon the cheating will be caught and you will be banned from good options of earning an income. So, do not indulge in plagiarism.

  3. Jimmy says:

    I don’t have extra time to give comments on blogs but you deserve it!!! Hats off Dear :) I want to meet you but not because I’m from Pak :)

  4. jeetendra says:

    Nice information Lalit. Moreover your comments on reviews are very appreciable. A reply on query always gives lot of satisfaction. Keep it up.

  5. Ruslan says:

    Hello Lalit, good article. I work as a fitness trainer. I know how to train a person to reach its goals, also know what to do to lose weight, what to eat to lose weight and so on… How can I use it? What I have to do to earn on this extra money? Because I have bad English and I can not teach the lesson online. Thank you.

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Hi Ruslan, your English is not as bad as you believe (in fact it is pretty good). Nevertheless, if you’re not comfortable with language, then you might find it to be difficult to do things online. I can only suggest one thing: go for YouTube videos. Make nice and useful videos of your training sessions and also give some good extra tips for viewers. Upload these videos on YouTube and use ads to make money.

  6. preetha says:

    Can I sell my paintings? How shall I get the payment?

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Yes, you can sell your paintings online. Mode of payment depends on which platform you will use to sell the paintings. If you launch your own website, you can use a payment gateway. If you use other web stores, they will send the payment in your account through EFT.

  7. kishore says:

    It was really helpful but i just wanted to know that how will I get the payment from YouTube?

  8. chuzzy paul says:

    Wow! Great job there. Love the post, it’s quite innovating to me. But, hope these things work

  9. Boris says:

    This is a great article. I wish I could have read more like those when I was first starting to do Internet Marketing and researching for methods to make money online. After going through some failures and wins people decide if they want to continue or leave this and go dive in the next idea of making money. This is not the options you want to choose because you will almost fail every time you change the method you are using. This is because you don’t believe it will work and continue change things with hope the next one will be better and almost every time it’s not. So in my experience, the best thing you should do is make more audience and keep them ! You need to have people beside you and this is the list building methods which will help you with most of the options that Lalit Kumar is talking about. With audience you can expand your business in no time and that is the easiest way I think you can do that. It is very important because you wont be needing to spend money on advertising and believe me if you don’t advertise the proper way, you will lose a lot of money !

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      You’re right Boris. We must focus on building audience for ourselves. If we have content that can give us dedicated audience then there are plenty of ways to monetize your content. All the best for you endeavors. Looking forward to hear more from you on TechWelkin.

  12. Sanidhya Kumar says:

    Quite informative. Can Indians earn money on Zazzle too?

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Yes, Zazzle has the option of paying through PayPal —so, anyone in the world can use Zazzle to earn money.

  14. George Michael says:

    Sir ,
    I am a senior citizen. I want to earn something from the internet. Kindly suggest some ways. I am technically qualified and good in English. But I do not know how to proceed. I have a laptop and internet connection. I can type average fast. Do not know how to get registered with parties. Do not know whom to ask. Kindly help me to get in registered with those in need people like me.

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Dear Sir, this article itself is about the ways with which people can earn from Internet. Now that you have a laptop and an Internet connection, I guess their is a fair possibility that you can also use one of these ways. I suggest that you find an Internet-savvy person around you who could register you on appropriate websites.

  15. marc says:

    Hi TechWelkin, I am from the Philippines and interested in the paid survey. Can I participate in those sites that you mention? It says in some of the ads that I should be in the UK?

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Hi Marc, certain paid online survey websites restrict the survey responders to a specific region. Opinion of the people outside that region is not useful for such websites. So, you can not take work from all the survey websites.

  16. Anum Nigar says:

    Incredible!
    Worth reading :)
    Well here is a question for you Lalit jee. Is it necessary for us to have a bank account before starting online career? As you said about PAYPAL, I don’t have knowledge about it neither I have bank account. So should I open a bank account first?

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Dear Anum, indeed, you must have a bank account. Otherwise you will not be able to receive payment for the work you will do online. It is advisable to open a bank account as it is a useful thing anyway. Thank you for liking the article. I hope you will find many more useful articles on TechWelkin. Stay connected with TechWelkin.

  17. viresh says:

    Sir do we have to give our bank account no. to Google or YouTube? Otherwise how can we get money from YouTube if we upload videos?

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Yes, you’ll have to provide your bank details to Google AdSense. Google will transfer your earning directly into your bank account.

  18. Sourav Tripathy says:

    Sir,
    I am currently studying mechanical engineering in NIT Rourkela. I can teach Physics and Maths upto 12th level. Is there any possibility to earn money online with these skills?

  19. JOZEF says:

    How much money you make if you post videos on YouTube and the get a million views?

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Hi Jozef, there is no telling as to how much one can earn. Online earning depends on a large number of factors. Everyone tastes different degree of success.

  20. vijay says:

    Sir, I am a student and I have good typing skills
    Can I earn with this skill if any then suggest proper website or anything

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Vijay, you can take up online data entry jobs. You’ll benefit from your good typing skills.

  21. vikas Kumar says:

    I registered on SurveySavvy but I didn’t get any task. What do I do? How to earn on this website?

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Hi Vikas, Surveys don’t come every day. I would suggest that you register on several survey websites so that you can keep getting surveys regularly from one or the other website.

  22. chethu says:

    Thank you sir for this wonderful article…!

    It will be helpful for youth. I think online survey is easy one for me. I have a doubt that the websites you stated regarding online surveys are related to foreign countries. Can we also enter for registration?

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Yes, Chethu, you can also register for doing online surveys and get some online income. Give it a try! All the best!

    • Dan says:

      I find that the best way for me is to complete surveys. I have been doing this for about a year now for about an hour each day and i’m making about $350-$500 each month, which isn’t bad considering it’s just meant to be some additional income.

  23. slim says:

    Hello sir!
    I have done a couple of nice songs. But getting voice-over jobs has been so difficult. Do you know any site online that provide voice-over jobs?

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Salim, as I have mentioned in the article, you can use websites like Umano, VoiceBunny or Voice123 for finding voice-over jobs.

  24. Vishnu says:

    I’m a beginner. I have a plan to start a new blog. But I’m lil confused. I don’t know which is more better and suitable in my computer and smartphone at same time.
    I want to be a good blogger. This is one of aims. But I don’t know how to. Is blogging need any IT courses for working as a blogger..??

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Knowing basic programming sometimes helps in blogging but it is not necessary.

  25. Ramchander says:

  26. Sameen says:

    Hi,
    Thank u very much for your very useful tips that i ever heard to get some financial support. I will try some of these, and if I have any doubts, is that alright if i ask you? Thanks

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Sameer, sure you can ask me through comments. I answer only those questions which are written in clear language and where I see that genuine effort has already been made by the person. A lot of people ask me to serve them a solution on platter. But it does not happen that way. There is no alternative of hard work. If my readers do hard work, I will be happy to help them.

  27. Arsh Multani says:

    Hi Lalit,
    I’ve looked deeply into what your website says but i wanna take a personal advice from you.I wanna tell you that i am a student,just aged 15 years old because of which these methods seem difficult to me.Which method would you suggest as the best for me and the easiest?

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Well, if you ask my advice, at 15 you’re probably too young to think of all these stuff. There is no shortcut or “easy” method. Whichever career path you’ll choose to make money online, you’ll have to work hard and devote a lot of time. As a result, balancing online business and studies could be a very tough job.

  28. Shashank Gupta says:

    Hi Lalit,

    Very interesting post. That’s a long list of opportunities for those new to the internet arena. I personally have found good success with affiliate marketing of E-retailer like Flipkart etc.

    However my Youtube monetization efforts have not yielded much results. Can you guide me as to what pointers I need to keep in mind in order to maximize my revenues from this channel. I find the CPV to be very low in YouTube.

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Hi Shashank, it all depends on the quality of content you’re offering. If your YouTube videos are original, useful and interesting —there is no reason why your YouTube channel won’t attract traffic. And remember, YouTube earnings are not really driven by CPV. Eventually it’s CPC that matters. And both CPV and CPC increase as your traffic increases. Google will not pay handsome amounts if you do not have enough traffic.

  34. Irene says:

    Thank you so much. I have worked all my life and now at 57 – redundant. I was beginning to lose hope, but you have inspired me. Maybe this is a new road for me to travel. A blog seems the most obvious for me, it now where to start!

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Dear Irene, life never stops! And there is always an alternative available for us. Go ahead, make a blog and write good stuff on it. I would suggest, that you should begin blogging more as a hobby and not as a profession. Let your blog be the medium of your own expression. Later on if you feel that you’re actually feeling connected with blogging, then you may think of turning it into a profession. All the best!

  35. Abdul Manan says:

      If the music is not produced by you, someone else will definitely be holding the copyright as creator of the music. So, technically, you must take permission from the makers if you want to host music files on your website.

      There is no place better than YouTube for videos. You can start a YouTube channel and upload you Physics and Maths videos. You can earn money by monetizing your YouTube videos.

  69. Madhavan says:

    Wonderful Lalit, I am really amazed with what you have talked. Infact I was searching in google for one such information over a year. What I have come across all these days wer e full of fraudsters. You have opened my funnel to make money now.

    Thanks a ton for very very useful information.

    I also want to have a look at my website, adsense ads are running, but I have not made a penny so far. I could not find out what is going wrong. Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

    Thanks

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Hi Madhavan, your blog is very new. It takes several months (and sometimes years) for a blog to make money. I would suggest that you focus more of writing good content and forget about making money for sometime. Without content there would be no traffic and that would in turn mean no earnings. Take your blog seriously and after a few months you may be able to taste success in online money making.

  78. Lata Sunder says:

    I get lot of mails from google adsense, where I can make Rs 5000 a day. They say they will teach me how to create a blog website, & how to get the traffic in it. Charges for three months is Rs 4400. I don’t know whether they are genuine or fake. Please advise.

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Hello Lata Sunder, if I were you, I would not fall prey to such things. Art of Blogging is needs time to perfect. And those who claim that they can drive a lot of traffic towards your site are simply lying. It does not work that way.

  79. pranab chowdhary says:

    Great information. but can u suggest any data entry jobs. I will be grateful.

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Hello Faiz, I am not aware of a platform that caters specifically to buying and selling lyrics. But I would suggest you to try general places like oDesk and eLance. You may also want to post free ads on classified websites. Potential buyers may approach you after seeing ads.

  81. adeem says:

    Great information. No doubt these are some of the great way to make money online. Can you suggest any good resource to learn affiliate marketing?

    • Lalit Kumar says:

      Well, Adeem, there is nothing to learn in affiliate marketing. All you need is a niche website with good enough traffic. Then you just sign up with the affiliates in your niche and get going!
