How I Built A Micro-Niche Site Earning $174/Month from AdSense

It’s an online era. 

I am sure you know at least one friend or family member or colleague earning a handsome money online.  You might have thought, it’s an easy peasy money. You can make it too. But either you got trapped in an online scam or failed.

Have you ever wondered why?

It’s because either you didn’t know where to look at and where to start from or you wanted a shortcut to earn tons of money. Let me tell you, there is no shortcut to earn money. You have to word hard.

Let me tell you a story. One of my friends went for a digital festival sometime back. There he saw a guy sitting with a big board saying “Earn money fast: simple and easy form and survey filling job”. The offer seemed attractive to him. He approached the counter and signed up for the job. The deal was he have to pay an initial amount of $40 to complete the registration. Once that is done, he will receive some survey forms and will get paid for it.

After few days, he received some online surveys which he gladly filled and sent. This continued for a month until one day the communication channel (email) was not reachable. All his emails bounced back and the guy who hired my friend was nowhere to be found.

This is just one of the story that is happening online. There are millions of scams out there.  The reason I am telling you this story is not to scare you, but to show you the reality.

Do a proper verification before signing up for some work.  Check about the brand or the person behind the brand. Otherwise, you might end up working for hours for zero money.

Today, I’m going to share some of the simple and legitimate ways to earn money online that anybody can do. Be it a 40-year-old homemaker, a 15-year-old school kid or a retired person, you can pick your options and start working online.

Simple Ways to Earn Money Online for Everyone:

Sell Stuff online :

How many times do you visit sites like eBay, Amazon, Etsy or OLX in a month?

How many times have you spotted antique, second-hand stuff on sale for a cheap price?

Well, the online marketplace is one of the easiest ways to earn money without sweating a bit. All you need to do is, find those stuff which you are not using any more. It could be anything, starting from your mobile, books, electronic appliances to a pin used by your grandmother.

All you need is to register yourself as a seller with eBay, Amazon or OLX, write an excellent sales pitch, take some good pictures and upload it online for sale. Check the price of related products and keep your price competitive. Try to create a brand of yours in the longer run.

Remember: Things which is are not useful for you might be useful for many.

Here is a guide which will help you to get started as a seller on eBay.

Set up a Blog

If you are passionate about writing and want to share your thoughts, emotions or learnings with people, blogging is a great option for you.

You don’t have to be tech savvy or a computer geek to start your journey online.

You can either create a free blog on BlogSpot or WordPress.com or can start a professional blogging on self-hosted WordPress. All you need is a domain and hosting to get started for the self-hosted WordPress.  You can start earning within a month or it may take years. It all depends on how much time, hard work and dedication are you willing to give.
