You can also earn money online by what is known as affiliate marketing. What is your passion or hobby or something that you are very knowledgeable about so much so that you can help people with? Whatever that is, you can create a website about it (very easy to do these days) and promote products related to your passion.
An example of that is say you create a website about the best kind of suitcases and bags that can be used for years and you know the best place to get them for great prices is at Amazon. You can sign up with Amazon under what is known as Amazon Associates and promote those particular type of products on your website like writing a review and why you should buy it.
You'll get special kind of links that you can place on your website such as your review and if people reading that review are convinced to get that product and want to buy it, they can click on that special link which will take them to that particular product at Amazon and when they buy it, you get a commission from that sale. Commissions vary there from anywhere to 4% to 10% or possibly more depending the products or items.
MANY companies have affiliate programs you can sign up with and earn commissions from when people buy a product you're promoting on your site. The one great thing though about Amazon unlike most of the others is that say they buy that travel suitcase from Amazon you reviewed on your site, but there are other things they need to buy while at Amazon's site. If they buy other kinds of products, YOU will also get commission from those sales as well! That's one nice thing Amazon does.
Now this isn't something you'll make money quickly with when you first start and will take time as you have to add good content to your site consistently so that you can build up traffic to get those commission sales.
I've been doing this for nearly 3 years now and I'm not making thousands of dollars monthly yet, but let's just say I'm making enough money now to where I don't struggle from paycheck to paycheck from my current day job. If you want to know more, shoot me a message.
