Ways to Earn Money Online

I made Hop2Shop.net to test the possibility of earning money online. I read a lot of articles from the internet about Making Money Online and Yes! you can earn money online! Many were very successful, they left their day jobs, added more websites and are now enjoying their life more than ever. Google them and read on how they made it.

Others were probably not that lucky or just don't have the right approach to this business. You will loose just a few dollars anyway, not more than $50 if you started with free hosting like I did. I spent about 10$ for the domain and $23 for Adwords  to add more visitors to my site and that will be about $33 total, for now.

The real investment here is your TIME. It took me almost a month to have this site look OK and operational. Most of the time I work on weekends and nights were I'm not too tired from my day job. As you can see a lot of improvements still needs to be done.

As I continued my research on "Ways to Earn Money Online" I found these helpful tips.

Auctions at Ebay - and other websites where you can have your tangible products sold. You earn money by buying wholesale and selling them again at a good price to get profit. This is an easy way to do if you have ample capital to start your business. No more website building, just buy-and-sell.

Bitvertiser, Adsense and other pay-per-click adverts. This is a good money making engine if you are a good writer and have a lot of ideas to share to the web community. You can start by making a BlogSite, write about your interests, post pictures, invite your friends to read your articles and earn money from text-link adverts you place on your site. Many interesting people with interesting ideas made money this way. They became popular and were able to get speaking engagements and write books about their success stories. 

Another money earner is Affiliate Marketing which I based this site.  I don't have much time yet to write long blogs to earn from pay-per-click adverts so I focused on products that I like and interests me. I don't need capital to buy products, so no cash investment needed. You just need to subscribe to affiliate programs that will bring value and discounts to your visitors.  This way your visitors and friends get  free offers, big discounts, and at the same time you earn money from commissions. Plus a few pay-per-click adverts on the side to add to your earnings. Not bad, everybody is happy.

Some affiliates providers will require you to have a website, but some don't. I will post here a list of  affiliate programs I subscribed to, check them out, browse their products so you can have an idea of what you want for your site.
