Are You Still Asking - Can You Really Make Money Online ?

And the answer is obvious, so why do they really ask the question? Or is it that what they really mean to ask is...

Show me where and how to make money online - for definite! No strings, no catches, no clichés, no buts and other cloudy excuses - just plain old sure bets. -

I believe that’s what they really mean... Take for instance, someone who approached me regarding an offer of a free website. Now, whilst this individual was attracted by the prospect of owning a website for free. What wasn’t apparent was the costs involved in buying a domain name and hosting the sites web pages. Subsequently the response after learning this was a resounding; “ Hey, that’s NOT free !” And I can understand the dispute in such a situation, but we have a way... let me rephrase that... Marketer’s have a way of being very economical with the truth. So, what I have decided to do here is to give it to ya’ll straight with real sure bets. Method that can definitely make money using the internet, and it needn’t cost you a penny either. However, there is a caveat - You get what you pay for... Ok here is the first.

What definitely pays on the internet.

Business Social Network APSense has been around for a while and when this network first started, it heavily pushed the fact that it paid members for promoting their own business whilst using the platform. This APSense selling proposition has long since died down and whilst it still rewards members for basically viewing ads, the 0.05cent emailed cash links are few and far between. Under normal circumstances, it would take a good few years just to be eligible for the $50 payout threshold. So use this mostly for meeting other people, sharing ideas and promoting your business for free. So what’s about those Paid To Click sites ? I hear you ask. Now, amongst the PTC websites out there Clixsense is one of the most popular. You get paid fractions of a cent for each advertisements you view. I can tell you for something substantial, you will need to view a hell of a lot of ads, even if you’re only planning on buying a coffee at Starbucks. But wait! there are a few additional ways to earn at Clixsense, besides leveraging from other peoples efforts, you can also participate in surveys and other activities, plus you can win prizes (for viewing extra ads). As much as Clixsense is popular in the PTC realm, It does currently leave me questioning its validity as a place for serious advertisers. Picking up on the fact that there are many people looking for that surefire way of earning online without spending any significant amounts of cash - some are even seeking to earn without spending a dime. There is a group of reputable Real Guys who have clubbed together to make this possibility more real for Individuals looking to make money without spending money. Real Guys is so far perhaps the most practical method mentioned, however it may cost you a small fee to get started.

Not Convinced with these sure bet ways of earning cash online?

Okay so maybe you are looking for something a little more conventional, something that involves utilising your personal skills and knowledge. Well, there are the ‘Five dollar ’ type networks cropping up everywhere, besides the original ‘Fiverr.com’ website. In case you are not already familiar, Fiverr is a marketplace for buying services starting at only $5. And although at first I was a little sceptical as to what the quality of services offered here would be like - I have to say there are quite a few decent quality gigs. Now, although there is no direct way of definitely making money with IBO, “...the Independent Business Owners haven,” I do believe this is a good place to get exposure to your services and products, as well as engage with a more sobering environment than the previously mentioned Business Social Network. As a Business Social Network you can advertise in exchange of free or paid for credits. The reason why I felt it was necessary to mention IBO however, is because of my own personal experience, where I have noticed an occasional pattern of sales that occur almost immediately after using the IBO platform for advertising and writing PRs. You see, the the platform works by making an assertive effort at not just reaching the eyeballs of its members, but also the general public and through social media.

So, what else is there, I’m sure there are many others that have slipped over and under my radar. Maybe you have a suggestion. What definite methods of earning on the internet do you know of and would like to share?
