How do I really make money online?

Summer is just about over, and the kids are going back to school. Our summer vacations are fond memories and now we have to start thinking about how to make money this fall ~ online and offline. If you are a stay at home mom, or just got downsized, or just want some extra income to go along with a job that is not paying you quite enough ~ you may have seen companies advertising online asking you to join them, if you have looked around at all.

The first thing is to use your common sense - there are "many" ways people offer to help you make money online, but only a few that are legitimate - and all of them are going to take a little bit of work, just like a "real" job. No one, no matter what they claim, makes $1000's for typing in Google ads or some nonsense like that.

Find a legitimate company that offers an affiliate program (try Clickbank.com first) or something that you know about that you already believe in and see if you can become an affiliate. Then your job is to promote that product, and you will be paid commissions every time someone buys from your link.

Join a direct sales/network marketing company to make money promoting and selling information or wellness products, or many other kinds. Again, you must promote to others to have them look at what you offer, and if people know, like and trust you and you have a good product or service, then you will get some customers/business partners from that. You can also do this locally in your community - it doesn't have to be all online.

For example, I just joined a company that allows people to earn free groceries - something everyone needs and would love to have more money to pay for! It is actually a lot easier to do than a lot of the other companies I have been in, so I am very pleased to represent them and REALLY help people that need to earn money.

One other way is to do something that you have expertise or skill in. Are you good at writing articles? Proofreading? Making simple websites? You can do all of these things online and people could pay you to do these things for them - I have and it is rewarding to help others in this way. I also love the French language and tutoring, so I created my new website, www.carytutor.com to showcase what I can do online or locally.
