Earning on the internet involves a lot on activity. You need
to do a lot of networking, sharing, interacting in a way that benefits each
other. A major earning logarithm works on down line building and gathering
referrals, while others require you to write proactively, consistently and
voraciously. Having spent days researching on the right kind of approach on
right kind of sites and to earn from them, I have learned a few basic things on
which the virtual world works on. I would like to share those with you here.
How to start off
Don’t expect to become rich overnight. Online earnings happen slowly and
take a lot of time and effort.
A few cents from several sites add up to a decent amount. So, invest in
lot of genuine sites instead of just one or two. Your effort and time would
build up a network that’s very important in converting the cents to dollars.
Your profile speaks volumes about you and your work. Invest time to build
an enhancing profile. Be honest and modest. It pays off.
Stay away from scam sites. Most of the sites which ask you to pay first
invariably are scam sites. The best opportunities are free sites unless you
know someone who has got paid from the sites requiring upfront payment. If you
are not sure, ask questions in the forums or amongst online friends.
Spend some time learning while you earn. Join forums which talk about your
interests and your skills. There is always an opportunity out there with your
specific skill set and interests.
Start with a few activities and gradually expand as time permits you. Be
prepared to devote your time and effort.
Open a Paypal account, if you do not have one already. Some sites pay you
directly by cheque, while most use payment gateways like Paypal. Another
important account that you must have is Google Adsense. It helps you earn from
your blog or other sites.
The importance of Networking
A lot of online earning opportunities involve networking. The more
successful you are in online networking the more you likely to succeed in your
earning endeavour.
If you are already part of a social networking site, make as many new
friends who are active online as you can. Visit their blogs/sites/articles,
leave comments and votes.
When you join a particular site which involves interaction with other
members, make as many friends you can and comment/rate their articles.
There are sites which are ideal for promotion or drawing traffic to your
articles/content. I strongly recommend Twitter which gets traffic to your
websites. You can also consider sites like Digg, Mixx, stumbleupon, Youtube and
Facebook.
Lastly, do not lose heart if you are not successful. Keep trying. It took
me almost ten years to earn a modest amount from the internet. Perseverance
does pay off.
Good luck!
