3 Ideas to Make Money at Home Online

Are you looking for ideas to make money at home online? There are numerous ways to make money at home and below I have given you a few of the most popular methods for making money online. Hopefully one of them will be just what you are looking for.

1) Make Money with Paid Online Surveys

There are many companies who will pay you to fill out surveys online. These are market research companies who are hired by national businesses to gather consumer information. They can either pay an army of interviewers to knock on doors as in the old days, or they can pay the people who are answering the questions. Many of them are switching to online surveys and paying the individuals because it’s easier to administer.

If you like filling out forms and giving your opinion, this can be a fun way to make extra money at home online. It works best if you live in the USA because most of the top paying companies are in the US market.

To save time, you can pick up a program called Roboform that will store your information in a profile and enter it into each new form at the click of a mouse. Then you just have to answer the questions about your preferences or whatever it is that they are surveying this time. Making money with paid online surveys is very easy. You won’t get rich doing it but it is a very good way to make extra money online.

2) Make Money Online at Home by Flipping Websites

Flipping websites basically just means buying websites, improving them and then selling them for a profit. If you buy a site that is making some money in a way that does not require any work from you, this can be an ongoing money maker for you.

It is also possible to flip domains. Here you buy a good domain name, either expired or new, and sell it at a profit without ever needing to build a site on it. For legal reasons you should not buy domain names containing trademark brands. The best domain names are phrases that people would type in to a search engine relating to a subject that has high earning potential – for example, financial services or weight loss.

3) Write and Sell an eBook to Make Money Online

This might sound hard but it’s really not. All you need to do is choose a topic where you know some information that people would be happy to pay for, or start with a private label rights (PLR) ebook. Private label rights means that you can edit it, put your name on it, change the title, and whatever else you want. Finish it up and sell it. You will be selling a digital download so there are no per copy production costs.

Ebooks do not have to look like real books on the inside. Readers will probably enjoy it more if you include plenty of pictures, colored text etc. You want them to enjoy it so that they don’t request a refund. Plus they are more likely to buy more from you in the future and recommend your ebook to their friends.

If your ebook is popular or you want to give it an extra push you can even list it with lulu.com so that people can order hard copies that will be produced as a real book. Pay a little extra for an ISBN number and your book can be distributed by Amazon. Guaranteed to impress the folks back home!

I hope that one of these ideas to make money online at home has sparked your interest. Why not get started right now? You’ll be glad you did!
