Its very interesting to read many of the make money online schemes one comes across every day surfing the internet. As a matter of fact any body who values his/her time must have developed a way to quickly identify the gimmicks. I, for one, can hit the Ctrl+w button on my laptop ( firefox ) to close any tab that seems to offend my senses ( whilst also breaking every known law of business income).

And that was my biggest problem writing this post. This post is not about the get-rich-quick scams every one comes across, but its about opportunities to make genuine money online - with hardwork. Problem is any web headline for this post must contain two words, ‘money’ and ‘online’. Two words that may not necessarily go down well with a lot of internet surfers. Hopefully you’re reading this , and you’ve given me a chance. Actually I’ve tried to weave the purpose of this post into the headline without necessarily sounding like a gimmick.

The idea for this post came from an interesting post i read over at TUK . In this article Jason gives a link to a web site that pays you for posts, comments and generally things like that . The reason I’ve chosen to put this on here is because I realize that a lack of funds is usually an excuse ( and thats usually all it is ) to setting up an online business.

Basically with $30.00 you’ll be able to get most of what you need to set up a full fledged online business , hosting and all. It may not be the best but it’ll be enough to get your feet wet and earn yourself some money.

I almost got myself caught up in the snag of looking for some of these deals that’ll help you make this start up cash, but i realized that I’ll have to try a lot of them out to be certain enough to recommend them here . So I’ll just give a basic pattern.

Always make sure the returns are not crazy. Money made online is spent in the real world, conversely too money spent online is made in the real world. $1000.00 is a lot of money, anywhere, anytime (i guess that gives you a fair idea of how much I make from adsense) so anyone promising you this or more must either love you to bits or want to milk you - I’d go with the second option. Stick to beleivable offers - period.

I’ll advise that you stick to writing . It isn’t that difficult to learn if you feel you aren’t good at it. More importantly because writing is only a form of expression I’m sure you’ll find atleast one thing that you’ll be able to write about. Paid reveiws, comments , blog posts, articles, forum posts, the list goes on and on.

You can also try out one of the freelancer networks. I used getafreelancer for a while so I’ll recommend it, but I think elance.com will do too. There are loads of projects there under ‘ copywriting ‘. Trick is simple , bid low , build a reputation and get reviews then you can charge. It will also help if you submit a few articles to places like ezine articles and have a few samples on hand to show your stuff to the project owners. As a matter of fact you may get used to this and decide to run this as a full online business. Like I always say it doesn’t come easy but you’ll definitely make money this way.

Finally this post is simply meant to set your brain off, sparking with ideas. Please read my 10 simple steps to a successful online business . funny but its a great post.
