There are several ways to make money online. The key is to choose something you love to do. \n\nBlogs, Ads and Affiliates: So if you like surfing the net a lot and know some really good sites on a particular topic then start blogging about it. Once you have enough useful content on the blog and more people start visiting, you can start earning revenues via Google Ads and Amazon Associates program (link to relevant books, DVDs from your blog).\n\nSimple solutions: You can also earn money by solving simple problems or questions on Amazon's MTurk website. Even Yahoo Answers may start paying for solving questions.\n\nPhotos: If you are into photography check out iStockPhoto where you can sell your photos online.\n\nAuctions: Lots of stuff in the attic? Start selling it on eBay. You know the saying... one man's junk is another man's treasure!\n\nFreelancing: Sites like Guru.com provide a marketplace for freelancers, consultants, designers, writers, programmers. You could try bidding for some projects and submit work online, as well as take payment online.\n\nBe careful: There are lots of good and bad schemes out there. Always verify the company behind the deal... don't get drawn into "big numbers" just because a site says so. Check with online community and they will give honest feedback.\n\nAnd finally: All the best! Let us know how you get on...\n\nNOTE: I will have more info on this subject in my soon to be launched blog: http://www.agilemap.com/ Hopefully by mid-Jan 2006 you should find some relevant content there.
