But how do you start? A lot of people work on 9-5 jobs and have horrible income compared to all the work they do. Personally I think it's wrong to work with a limited paycheck when there's big amounts out there for you to grab! A lot of people ask and search around for "how to make money online".

The market is big on the internet, it's enough for all of us so why wouldn't I share with everyone? On this lens I'm going to link useful blogs (Possibly lenses, do recommend me good ones), products that help you on the way and more. Learn how to make money online today!

Baby steps

The first step in the "how to make money online" path is; Are you ready for it? Earning money online might sound easy but it isn't. It's easier than getting a college education and a 9 to 5 job, but it still requires effort. First of all you need to set a limit, goal if you want to call it that. How much do you want to earn? Just a side income or a whole income to live on? Earning money online can be done in so many different ways and with a lower goal you might just be able to find an easier way to use your skills, expertise.

It might sound silly but when it comes to earning money online, it's often harder earning your first $100 than your first $1000. This is because once you find a method that suits YOU, you'll just have to multiply that method a few times and watch your income raise.

When it comes to earning money ONLINE, you can do it at any age. I started when I was around thirteen-fourteen somewhere. I'm going to list the NECESSARY requirements;

1. English. It doesn't have to be 100% perfect but above average knowledge in the English language helps out a lot.
2. Dedication. Even if something goes wrong or you don't earn on that method you thought would bring you millions, don't give up!
3. Don't be greedy. While you can earn incredible amounts by working online, it doesn't mean you can earn that your first month.

Requirements that aren't necessary but sure to make things a little bit easier when earning money online;
1. Budget. Having a budget before starting to making money online can make things a lot easier. A budget of $200-$300 would make you be able to earn around $500-$600 the first month if you do it right. Note that when I started I had no budget.

A large contact network. Having a big twitter or facebook account, or even a fairly popular blog can make things A LOT easier in the beginning.

My recommendations are either to look below in the amazon ads for e-books that you can afford and seem good. Note that e-books sold on Amazon are almost never bullshit that'll tell you that you can make several millions of dollars within a month like most e-books do, as these are fully legal and published e-books, unlike the ones you find on Google searches.
Searching for good blogs might be another good step to find usable information.

Also check the links I posted below. They're a great way to find methods and ideas for how to make money online.

Having the right mindset..

While making money online is fairly "easier" than making money through a regular job it still requires a certain dedication. Having this dedication becomes easier as your earnings rise. But actually getting started with making money takes a little while, for some a longer while. Under this time it's easy for a lot of people to give up. We wouldn't want that to happen to you would we?

It's important to understand that even though it takes time, it's there for you to take.

Once you earn your first dollar, you're going to get such a boost that you'll never want to stop making money online, ever again!
Once you get your first payout, you'll be unstoppable.

When I got my first dollar, which was for AdscendMedia, I was so amazed. I felt so amazing that I just kept working and working. With each dollar that I earned I felt more inspired to work harder. That's why I prefer making money online as it's all up to you how much you earn, which feels amazing as the number raises.

So work hard, don't lose the dedication and remember, don't be greedy!

One easy way of making money..

Probably the easiest way with so many possible twists...

So some of you either just want to make a small, easy income or want to scrap together a budget before you start making an income online. Well this is the method I recommend.

There's a site called http://www.associatedcontent.com which is a goldmine. Now the basic of the site is, create content, get paid for it. Usually if you write decent articles they pay around 5-7 dollars each. A decent article should be around 750-1000 words. The moneymaking idea is that by using keywords you can dominate other articles about the same thing. But there are funny twists to the whole thing.

Let's spin this!

No, literally spin. Some of you already know what I'm going to present to all of you and will go all like "But Ben, you can't do that, it's illegal!!". While yes article spinning often break copyright but not always, not if you do it right.
If you're a really fast typer then you can probably just go straight to the site and start work. But with this method you can submit about 50-250 articles a day, now there's risks to this but hey, isn't money making online all about taking risks?

What you need is a partner, the more the merrier. What you're going to do is to setup a joint venture, a cooperation so to say. Let's say you're three people, make sure they're good in English, at least fairly good.

You each write articles, just like normal. You then pass them in a circle. You get a friends article, your friend gets an article and your third friend gets a new article. Do note you should submit your own articles before proceeding to the next step.

Now, you need a spinner. A spinner is a tool that swaps synonyms. For example "Easy" is a possible synonym for "Simple". Now there are good software out there such as TheBestSpinner or SpinnerChief. Spinnerchief has a free version (If you find the right domain, there are three SpinnerChief domains).

Now you spin your newly gotten article, read it through and edit it a bit. Make sure the article makes sense or else you're not gonna earn anything.

Writing an article takes about 5-10 minutes if you type fast. Spinning and rereading the new article takes about 5 minutes. Editing the article a bit more takes 2-3 minutes. At max we're up at 18 minutes.

Note as your friends are into this together, you're FORMALLY not breaking copyright. I assume Yahoo (Owners of AssociatedContent) might disagree, but who is gonna find out if you do it right?

I know a lot of people who do this daily and submits about twenty articles a day. Let's say they get a payment of five dollars, 20x5=Profit

Now of course if you want to break copyright and get caught and banned from the site, you could just collect fifty articles, spin each article 10 times (You can select how many articles you want to spin) and then submit them all. Sure if you don't get caught you might earn up to $300-$500 a day. But note that this breaks copyright and I do in no way endorse this.

But to be honest with you all. Just writing regular articles will earn you a good share of money. I can write up to fifteen articles a day without a hassle, not all return you money but still earns a bit. I don't do it any longer but it gives a good budget so that you can afford all the amazing tools you can use to make an income.

Writing articles is hard in the beginning but you'll learn easily. and in time you'll notice you type incredibly fast compared to before.

Practice makes you a Master.
