Chapter 8: How To Make Money With Less
It is a fact that money does not come from trees. People have to earn it and it doesn’t have to be working in an office every time.
This can happen by simply having a desktop or laptop with an Internet connection then getting paid for certain services. Here are some great ideas that won’t cost the entrepreneur that much to get started.
A very good example is answering some surveys. There was a time that companies would call people to come to the office to answer a question. Those that didn’t have the budget for this will do this over the phone.
In order to get more respondents, firms have decided to work with market research firms to conduct online surveys. Respondents are paid after completing the questionnaire. The payment varies so this could be as small as a dollar to something higher like twenty dollars.
Those who would like to speak out can earn money by posting a blog. The person doesn’t get paid to write something here but earns revenue through advertisements that people would like to put up in the site.
Something similar to blogging is being an affiliate. Here, the person allows the major search engines to put up ads in exchange for sales commission for every item that was purchased.
If the individual is creative, money can also be made by creating a website. The entrepreneur can sell items through the Internet or auction off items that others would like to part with.
Not everyone is good with computers. Those who are should take advantage of this by offering consultancy services to those who need help. The person can charge by the hour or per web page if this is the what the client wants. It is also possible to charge extra for the assistance rendered in maintaining the site.
People who have a little money to spare can invest in the stock market or in the foreign exchange market. Most of the investments are here long term.
Those who have never done this before should get help from an online broker to learn the ropes and the tricks of the trade.
Network marketing is also another way to make money online. The person will recruit people to do the selling and then earn commission for each sale that was made. This isn’t easy and the first challenge will be to turn the customer into an agent which all begins by working with an email list.
It will also be good idea to sell some of these items directly to the consumer. This is because the people that were hired may not always do a good job, which may also affect the commissions coming at the end of every month.
There are other ways of making money through the web and this requires both creativity and patience. It may seem difficult during the first few months but those who are able to get the hang of things may pursue this full time instead of the regular day job.
It always pays to do some research first in order to balance the risks. If the potential of making enough money is high, then the entrepreneur should go for it. There is money out there. The person can invest a lot or spend on the same thing for less.
