I am here mainly focusing (3) and (4) categories of people, additionally I will make reference to people belonging to (2) category.

While surfing Internet today, I find some useful information on how to make money online. Most of them put great emphasis on affiliate marketing, Google AdSense, paid surveys, and like others. But in practice there are many more good opportunities. Let me tell you about all the online opportunities I find really worthy to start with.

Content Writing

This is a wonderful option for making money online. If you have flair of writing along with a creative aptitude, you can make real good money with the help of content writing. As you can understand, each time a website is developed or modified, content plays a significant role there. In other words, website can not be built without content. As estimated in the Netcraft Web Server Survey (2007) over hundred millions of distinct websites exist in the world today and many others are evolving every moment. So you have plenty of options available just in front of you. All you need to make a search using popular search engines like Google or Yahoo.

Expert Counseling

Although this is a kind of specialized job, you can still make handsome money from it. There are various websites available on the net which offer job opportunities for people specializing in particular subject. Online experts are principally required for a wide range of subjects including psychic counseling, career counseling, home improvement, psychological counseling, and many others. In fact, for most of the sites experts get the opportunity to make money through email counseling.

Web and Graphic Designing

Just like content producers, the demand for web and graphic designers is also increasing day by day. If you have talent and required expertise in website or graphic design you can make money online simply by providing your service as a web and graphic designer. In the modern era of globalization, it is truly an excellent offer for talented people living in developing countries. The payments are really lucrative. However, the job needs creative talent and ability to meet tough deadline.

Virtual Assistance & Data Entry

This is another wonderful opportunity to make money online. If you have experience about accounting or administration job along with data entry experience, this can benefit you a lot. Even if you do not have experience, you can crack it as a fresher. According to some company’s norm, you may need to undergo for certain certification program, however, many companies take online test before enrolling you into their job opportunities. But I strongly recommend you to do thorough research before applying for virtual assistance or data entry job. In fact, there are several illegitimate companies all around. Never pay anyone on the face of earth to get a job. They are simply useless.

Paid Survey and Paid Email

You can count on paid surveys and paid emails in your free time, but you can not choose them as a mode for living even if the companies who are offering these types of job opportunities claim so. In paid survey opportunities, you need to express your opinion in a survey sent to you depending on your background, educational qualification, personal interests, and few other factors. On the other hand, paid emails are such types of emails which will consist of paid links. You have to click on the paid links and follow the instructions given out there to add money in your account. Both of these methods are very slow and time consuming while the return is not so satisfactory.

Google AdSense and Affiliate Programs

Google AdSense is a great program to earn money by placing ads on your website. If you have a website or blog which gets regular hits from tons of visitors and you have outstanding content in your website or blog, there is a great possibility to make handsome amount of money using Google AdSense. Affiliate programs enable you to earn money with selling or referring products to potential buyers. In order to participate in affiliate programs, you need not to have own website or blog, in fact, all you need is to a good database of potential buyer, a good knowledge of the product or concept you opt to sell and good marketing skills. Practically, people participating in positive social networking can do well in affiliate marketing.
