Article writing:
If you are a
good writer, you can earn money by writing articles for people with websites. Many
website owners know that they need to keep their websites current and up to date,
but don’t have the time to constantly create new content for them. Because of that,
they hire people who can write on their behalf.
In order for you to become a content writer, here are some steps you can take:
- Post a profile on freelancing sites such as Elance.com, Guru.com, and Odesk.com. Describe your interests and your levels of expertise.
- Email [email protected] with your name and include a writing sample. We are constantly looking for more writers and will give trial work to all eligible writers.
- Look for writing jobs on the same freelancing sites and apply for them.
- Google writer job openings.
- Ask the owners of websites that you already like if they are looking for writers.
How much can I make out of writing?
- Content
writing jobs pay anywhere from $1 to $100+ based on the length of the article
and your expertise. If you’re already an expert on the topic you’re writing
about, you can often charge a premium.
- Even if
you are new to writing, you can make upwards of $.50 for each 100 words on an article.
Online Counselor:
Many people
like to go online for counseling instead of meeting people in person. They feel
that they can be more anonymous this way, and they also have the convenience of
not needing to drive anywhere. If you have the ability to counsel people
effectively, this could be a fun job for you. You do not need to have a special
degree, although it would obviously give you a cutting edge.
In order for you to become an online counselor, here are some steps you can take:
- Create a website that discusses your qualifications and how you are able to help people. If you don’t have a degree or qualifications to prescribe anything to people, let them know. Some people just want to pay you so that you can listen to them and they can vent their frustrations. Just make sure not to overstep what you can legally do.
- Start advertising your site on social networks, amongst friends, or via other traffic methods (you can outsource a lot of this to Burn Your to Do List if you don’t have the time or knowhow).
- Start building up your customer base. Do a great job, implement word-of mouth referral programs, and start collecting testimonials from the people you help.

translation jobs. This is another easy way to make use of your spare time and convert
it into money. Especially if you know any of the languages for which translators
are in huge demand.

Employee Referral
Many companies will offer referral bonuses for people who can recruit excellent new employees for their organization. If you know a lot of people or have relationships with recruiters, this can be an easy way to earn some extra cash. You can also find potential prospects for companies by using the internet.
In order for you to become an employee referrer, here are some steps you can take:
- More companies do have employee referral programs than don’t, which means you have a lot of opportunity to help employees find potential jobs. If you’re unsure if a company offers a referral program, give them a call and ask. You may want to start with your own company, if you currently have a job.
- Find out if the people in your network are looking for jobs.
- Go on freelancing sites like Elance.com, Guru.com, and Odesk.com, and check out the profiles of people there. Communicate with people that sound good, and see if they’d be interested in getting more regular work.
- Refer people to HR of the company you work with or other company that you’re recommending them for. You will get paid if they get hired.
- You can also try to build up a relationship with external recruiters. If you can do this, then you can get a list of current job openings from them. This can be incredibly lucrative.

Bonuses are anywhere from $50 to the $1000’s of dollars. A lot of this depends on the type of position (the stronger the qualifications needed, the higher the referral bonus) as well as the company you’re working with.
Become a website or domain broker
There are a
lot of people interested in buying people’s sites. They would like to buy sites
so that they can own established websites without having to do the work on their
own, or they see profit potential on sites, and so on and so forth. A lot of
people would love to sell their sites, too… but don’t know how. As a website
broker, you can connect buyers and sellers to each other and take a percentage
of the sale for making the introductions.
In order for you to become a website broker, here are some steps you can take:
- Create a website outlining the basics of what you do. As you get buyers and sellers interested, update the website with what buyers are looking for and what sellers have. Don’t put seller’s site details on your website, otherwise buyers can go around you to bypass your commission. Just put general details.
- Start finding people interested in buying or selling their sites. You can find these people by going on existing sites for buying and selling such as Flippa.com, SiteSell.com, or BuySellWebsite.com. Even if people are already listed on one website, it doesn’t mean they don’t want additional help.
- Don’t give out site details to buyers until you get them to sign paperwork saying that they won’t go around you, sign a noncompete, and so forth.
- When a deal is made, collect a percentage of the profits.

You can make
anywhere from $100 to the millions of dollars, depending on how valuable a site
and/or domain is.
Referral Exchange Programs:
There are
many independent programmers who take a lot of work from clients. There are
times when they have too much work to do and can’t take on new projects, and so
they have to pass on new jobs. You can create relationships with these people
in order to take their excess work, and then either outsource it or do it
yourself. On the other hand, if you have too much work to handle. you can refer
it to other people and charge them fees for your references. No matter which
way you decide to do this, you can profit.
In order for you to do a referral exchange, here are some steps you can take:
- Get yourself registered in referral exchange forums
- Find people that are able to take last minute work
- Find people that are in your industry and regularly accepting freelance work
- Decide on rates that you will pay people that give you work, and rates you will charge for outsourcing work
- Make sure to do a great job and to only refer people you trust, so that you can continue doing this without worry of hurting your reputation.
How much money can I make out of referral exchange?
The profits
will change based on how much you charge for referring work, as well as what
you pay people for giving you references. You also have to account for how much
you charge to do the actual work. You can easily make $100 a day doing this
though, once you build up your partner base.
Buying and selling links
In order to
get higher search engine rankings on Google, a lot of people feel that they
need to have a lot of backlinks pointing their site. Backlinks are basically
links on other people’s websites pointing to another site. When someone links
to another person’s website, it shows Google that their website is worth
linking to, and so Google gives it preference for their search engine placements.
The higher the search engine placement, the more publicity a business gets, so
a lot of people try hard to get more links to their websites. Because so many
people want links, you can profit on this by acting as an intermediary between
people who are willing to sell links and people who are willing to buy them.
In order for you to buy and sell links, here are some steps you can take:
- You can look for those who want to buy or sell links in forums of sites which talk about links (Example: http://www.linkadage.com/)
- Make yourself aware of the link buying and selling guidelines
- Market only valuable links (links that have high Page Rank on Google)
- You can also create a website advertising your services.
- Start advertising your site on social networks, amongst friends, or via other traffic methods (you can outsource a lot of this to Burn Your To Do List if you don’t have the time or knowhow).
How much money can I make out of buying and selling links?
It depends
on the amount you charge for connecting people. You can also buy links on your
own and then charge people for them, in which you can create your own pricing.
You can make anywhere from $1 to $300 for a link, depending on how valuable the
site is.
Drop Shipping:
Some people
hesitate to sell on eBay and other websites because they don’t want to have to
go through the pain of storing products, getting them packaged properly, and then
shipping the products to customers. There is an alternative to that though,
called drop shipping. If you opt to this, then you don’t need to touch the products
at all. All you would do is sell the products, and then once you make a sale, a
wholesaler would ship it on your behalf as soon as you provide them the name
and address of each customer.
In order for you to do drop shipping, here are some steps you can take:
- Get yourself registered in eBay as a seller and/or create your own website
- Make a list of wholesalers who provide drop shipping. Make sure the drop shippers do not include their contact information on the packages they send out (otherwise customers can go directly to them in the future). You can find out about many drop shipping companies by going to this site.
- List the products that wholesalers can ship
- Start advertising your site on social networks, amongst friends, or via other traffic methods (you can outsource a lot of this to Burn Your To Do List if you don’t have the time or knowhow).
How much money can I make from drop shipping?
The
difference between the sale price and the wholesaler price will be the profit
margin that you will enjoy. You can make anywhere from a few bucks to thousands
of dollars per sale, depending on what you’re selling. You can definitely make
$100 a day or more with this.
Sell your unused items
If you have
unused items - anything from old clothes to your grandmother’s antiques at
home, then try to sell those items on eBay. You’ve undoubtedly heard the saying
“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, and it could be quite possible to
earn quite a bit of money while uncluttering your home.
In order for you to sell your items, here are some steps you can take:
- Get registered in eBay as a seller
- Set up your own PayPal account to receive the payment
- Look around your house and identify your unused things that you would like to sell
- List your items for sale on eBay.
How much money can I make out of selling unused items?
This depends
on what you’re selling, of course. You can make anywhere from a few dollars to
thousands of dollars by selling your unused items.
Write an eBook on buying and selling techniques in eBay
If you
decide to do the aforementioned items with success and are a talented writer, then
why not write an eBook about using eBay to make a lot of money? Though many
people might be aware of eBay basics, they might still buy the book to look out
for new ways. Make the eBook as simple and creative as possible. A well-advertised
book can sell for a long time, and any profit you make will be pure profit as
the product would be delivered digitally and there would be no shipping costs.
In order for you to write and sell an eBook, here are some steps you can take:
- Once you get familiar with eBay, start writing an eBook explaining how to use eBay and make money with it
- Try to keep the book as simple as possible to attract more buyers
- Give a catchy title to your eBook
- Advertise it for sale in eBay itself
- Get the sale done and enjoy the profit
- Start advertising your book on social networks, amongst friends, or via other traffic methods (you can outsource a lot of this to Burn Your To Do List if you don’t have the time or knowhow).
How much money can I make by selling the eBook?
- It depends on the price of the book
- It depends on the number of books sold
- It depends on the customer feedback and review for the eBook.
