Like many, you are looking to earn money online either to supplement your income or you are like me and want to eventually fire your boss. The internet is such an amazing place.  It has opened up so many doors for so many people and there are thousands of possibilities.  However, within all of those possibilities and behind some of those doors there are scams.  Too many scams and I’m here to show you safe ways to make money online.

First off I’ll tell you I’m a skeptic by nature. You’ve heard the saying if it sounds too good to be true it is, and I truly believe that.  To earn money online, it takes work, and depending on the amount of money you want to make it will take time.

You will not see $15,000 in your first month and if someone is promising you that it’s a scam.

Rest assured though, with dedication and work you CAN legitimately earn money online. There are ways to make a little quick cash now or you can make the long term investment and make a lot of it once you get the ball rolling. The choice is up to you and how much time and effort you are willing to put into it.

You have to sit down and think about what you are trying to accomplish. I think this is such a huge step that most people don’t think about that I believe is crucial.  Here are some questions to ask yourself before you start looking at how to make money online:

• Do I want to do this part-time or full time?
  • Will this be a permanent situation or temporary?
• Do I want to work for myself or work for another company?
  • Am I looking to earn enough to pay some bills or change my life?

Once you have these answered then you can really start to entertain the possibilities that are out there, because honestly, those answers will help point you in the right direction. You don’t want to be misled and you don’t want to waste your time going in the wrong direction. I’ve heard too many stories where someone had expectations set in their mind about what they wanted to accomplish online and how much they wanted to make and they ended up going down the wrong path. Take the time to research.

The following are the three easiest ways of earning money online and none of them requires you to be a computer expert at all.

1- Earn Through Facebook Page

Facebook has made online earning very easy. Create a page from your Facebook profile, load it with videos and pictures of your product/service, and spend some money on targeting your potential buyers by using the Facebook advertisement. You will be amazed by the results. You can also direct this traffic to your website and use a newsletter box to capture emails of your visitors. This way, you can send them an email about any new product, service, or facility you are offering.

2- Earn Through Blogs

Create a blog of your choice, write elegantly, and use Google Adsense to earn money. Use the power of the Facebook page, advertise to your target audience, and direct the traffic from the Facebook page to your blog.

3- Become an Online teacher/consultant

By offering your services/expertise online on Skype, you can teach and offer consulting services. Again use the power of Facebook page to reach out to your target audience. You can make money in advance before you offer an online session.
