6 Real And Legit Ways To Earn Online

There can be millions of articles telling you about earning money online but the problem for most of them is that they are there to convince you to register for some training and seminars. Mostly they are run by millionaire internet guru and this is not good to some, especially to a newbie. In the end, it is them earning money and not you, am I right? Well, they get your email and information with these surveys and seminars. The thing is, the legit ways to earn money isn't this get rich quick schemes but most need a lot of works and dedication in return for your time. But first, you need to approach it in a professional way even though it is not the kind of job that you will find in the primitive environment. Since the one who employs you does not interact face to face, you need to watch out your grammar and words. Even the way you spell the company's name is important, like for example in Problogger, which should not be typed as Pro Blogger. Now that you know the prerequisite for getting the job done online, we go straight to the website that pays!


There are multitudes of sites that pay you for many things such as taking survey, test product or even shopping as part of their promotional campaigns, so I have outlined the few sites in which you can earn money.

1. Swagbucks

It is a site where you can earn some bucks by taking a survey to using their search engine. This site does not promise to get rich but you can earn few dollars doing this instead of wasting your time just surfing the internet.

2. My Lot

Are you busy interacting and chatting people via Facebook? Why not try My Lot. In here, you can earn in every interaction you make with other members. You can answer posted questions or ask. It sounds easy, yeah. However, I am not saying you will earn thousands of dollars doing this.

3. Fiverr

This site is great to earn few dollars when you provide services or sell a piece of goods. Generally, gigs here is everything in 5 dollars. If you can create graphic design then you can charge per hour. You can also get paid to blog, tweet and put images from the followers.

4. Freelance Writing

There are sites like Freelancer where you can bid for writing articles. The lowest charge I have known so far for a newbie is 1dollar per 500 words though this can really below what is really required. If you will go for writing the article especially with SEO, you can charge it for 5 to 10 dollars per 500 words or more! But of course, you need to build your portfolio to get hired for the higher pay projects which we know would take time and dedication.

There are many available sites where you can do these freelance writing. In fact, most companies need articles for the web content which makes it a greener pasture for those who love writing. Here are few sites you can start with your writing career:

• Listverse--For every article with 1, 500 words, they will pay 50 dollars that are if they accept your articles.

• Toptenz--they pay 50 dollars for every 1,500 words they accepted and they post often so your chance of getting accepted is relatively high.

• A List Apart-- This site pays 200 dollars for every article they accept however, they don't post more often so your chance to have your articles accepted is very thin. 

• FundforWriters--They accept articles from 500 to 600 words at 50 dollars. Write articles about how to make money and submit it to them for your chance to get 50 dollars.

Other sites like Uxbooth, iWriter, Textbroker, Matador Network, The Penny Hoarder and many other writing gigs is just a solid guarantee that you can earn with your writing skills. I will give a further review in my next post with these writing gigs but for now, that is just a partial overview of the gig sites that you can start with.

5. Online Selling

Many had been interested in putting up their online store. If you are looking for an e-commerce platform, you can check out Shopify. For as low as 13 dollars a month you can start fixing your site. Get a domain for as low as 1 dollar in GoDaddy and you are ready for selling. There are even those who only use social media platforms like Facebook to sell stuff. You can create FB page to maximize the reached traffic but before that, if you are serious about earning online make sure that you have a Paypal account. It is a standard in receiving payment from services and goods you sell online.

There are other sites in which you can sell stuff like eBay, Amazon, Craiglist, Lazada, Etsy, Magento, Alibaba and other online stores. In these sites, you can either start selling your own crafted items like arts or start with dropshipping. Many millennials nowadays are into these type of business as they envisioned online business as the future businesses.

6. Blogging

If you are looking for long-term investment, blogging is the one I truly recommend for those who love writing. This may need patience and perseverance but over time, you can create networks and build substantial traffic that you can earn simply by its traffic. I will tackle this matter in my next article as well, you keep standing by so you can learn and earn!

Do not worry if you know yet what niche you like to write the most. You can start by simply making it like your daily diary. Besides even if you don't get a large volume of traffic just yet for your blog, you can integrate other ways in which you can earn from it like affiliates, offering services or selling items such as ebooks and etc. There are just too many ways where you can use your blog in earning dollars, examples like sponsored articles, membership to the blog, or even just putting advertising on your blog. You earn depending on the network you choose like Adsense, Propeller Ads Media or Admaven.
