Newbie popular question: How to make money online fast?

Filed Under (Blogging, How to, Make money) by James on 07-09-2008

Lately, I got several emails asking me the below questions:

1) My english is not so good, so can I make money online?

2) Must you be good in writing to make money online?

3) How can you make money online fast?

4) Must you have a website to make money online?

Ok below is my honest answer:

1) My english is not so good, so can I make money online?

The question is very broad. If you are into affiliate marketing using Clickbank, then you must have some level of English so that you can write a review on the ebooks or softwares you are promoting.  Most of the clickbank products are written in english.

If you are not into affiliate marketing using Clickbank, you can still make money online by selling stuffs on ebay. Ebay is an international online auction store. I am sure your country will have their own ebay store.

If you are interested about affiliate marketing, just do a search on google for affiliate marketing in your country. I am sure you will find some local affiliate marketing programs that you can join and make money online.

 2) Must you be good in writing to make money online?

No. I am not a writer myself. In fact english is my second language. So you do not have to be good in writing to make money online.

You can setup a blog in your own language and make money from Adsense or affiliate marketing.

 3) How can you make money online fast?

Yes, you can make money online fast by joining HYIP or Autosurf programs but be prepared to lose your money because most of them are scams. I did make some money from Autosurf programs but I guessed I was lucky.

Affiliate marketing is the best way to make money online. Making money online through affiliate marketing will take time because you need to learn the techniques. I only started making money through affiliate marketing after 2 to 3 month of self learning.

4) Must you have a website to make money online?

Yes, I strongly advise that you have a website to make money online. You can create a free blog at blogger or wordpress. With your own blog, you can write about product reviews or even sell your own stuffs.

If you want more control of your own blog or website, it is good to have your own domain like what I have now.

At the end of the day, if you want to make money online you have to take action. I recently read a very good ebook on Building a Business Not A Blog which I highly recommend to newbie. You can download free here.

$0 cost but $10,000 a month in sales

I came across a news article few weeks ago about making money online.

The news headline is: Cost $0, Monthly sales $10,000

What really impressed me was the online business is actually run by a teenager – Ruth Chua !

She started the business as a hobby and she never expect to do so well.

So what is her business? Bascially, she sells things like kitschy clothes and handmade accessories on her blog. I could not really find her blog through google, I wonder why?

The news article also mentioned another teenager who does the same business. Here is the link http://mynt-shop.livejournal.com/

Setting up a blog is free and everybody can do it. I too have several blogs making me money online. One of them is savingtipssg.blogspot.com. My blog is on tips on how to save money in Singapore and I made money from this blog from Adsense.  If you want to know how to make money from Adsense, download my free ebook here.

You can download the full news article here.
