How many ways to earn money online are there? A lot more than you and I can think of. Just in the past day I have seen several creative ideas both online and in emails I have received. One of those came via my good friend Jeff Casmer. I am going to share this story and break it down into several ways to earn money on the internet.

Jeff is one of the all time great internet marketing spies. I mean that in a complimentary way. He is always on the lookout for different ways to improve his business. I know he emails me all of the time and we bounce ideas off of each other. So this way number one to earn money online.

1. Be an internet marketing spy. Subscribe to newsletters that teach you how to make money. Team-Schuman Marketplace would be a good one :). Along those same lines is to bookmark websites and blogs that are providing up to date information on how to use the internet to earn money. There are several really good ones. Of course my website on how to make money online is one of the most visited websites for that keyword phrase.

In this story Jeff received and email from Jason Gazaway who is a customer for my Article Writer business. Jason has ordered articles several time from us. He recently ordered 50 articles around the theme of home business and he was going to put them in his blogs and on his websites.

He decided to move back to his home state of Missouri and when he checked out prices on renting a U-Haul he was shocked to learn it would cost him $1000. So he decided to take the 50 articles he bought from us and package them into 10 packs and sell each 10 pack for $7 to 30 people.

Here’s the math on this.

1 ten pack for $7 each to 30 people will create an income of $210. He bought 50 articles so he created 5 ten packs.

5 X $210=$1050 which will cover the cost of his U-Haul.

So way #2 to earn money online is….

2. Buy articles, package them and sell them online. With our article writer company we sell our articles exclusively to you so they are yours to do as you want. Your job in all of this is to take the articles, create a web page to sell them on and then start marketing that page. No matter what way you come up with to earn money online you are going to have to promote it somehow.

In Jason’s case we know he is emailing to a list he has created. This is important because without this list he would have to promote these articles another way. He probably is putting a link to the web page he created to sell these articles on his websites and blogs as well.

You could easily start a free blog at Blogger.com, join PayPal for free, set up a order page on your new blog, add a paypal button to it and you are in business. This does not require much technical ability, but again you could pay someone to do it for you and you would be in business selling your new articles.

Another thing you can do is buy private label right products and use those to create products or articles of your own. InfoGoRound is one of the best PLR companies I have come across. I use their articles all of the time for ideas to write articles of my own. I then put those articles in my blogs, on my websites, and submit them to article directories and social directories to get more website traffic.

You could take those articles and re-write them and claim them as your own. You have to do a major re-write, but in one week or even a few days. you could create a 50 pack of your own to sell online like Jason did.

Here is the third way in this story I want you to understand.

3. Start a business and provide a service. In our case we write articles for websites and blogs and sell them for $10 ech. We offer a multiple article discount for 5, 10 and 50 pack orders. It is interesting that I have never run one ad for this company yet we are now writing over 500 articles a month. We used article marketing, social marketing and forum marketing to get our name out. Then we did a good job for our customers which led to repeat business.

So I am not saying go start an article writing business and compete with us. I am saying one way to earn money online is to do something for someone and charge for it. I gave the idea of Blog Builder to another friend of mine, Jeff Houdyschell. He builds WordPress blogs for people. This is a hot business right now as blogging is quickly becoming the fastest way to get traffic and make sales online, and WordPress is the best blogging platform to do it on.

You could offer a service to update WordPress blogs for people. You could offer to do the marketing for a person’s blog. You could offer to post articles in their blogs for them. Etc, etc. You get the idea.

To summarize these 3 ways to earn money online.

1. Become and internet spy and figure out how you can earn money doing what other successful people already are doing.

2. Either write your own articles, or buy them and then resell those in packages for a profit.

3. Start a business and provide a service. People will pay to have things done for them. This could be almost anything and you could refer to way #1 to come up with ideas on what type of business you could start.

So many times everyone thinks they need sell a product to make money and they can not come up with ideas for that. I just showed you 3 ways to earn money online and the only product we talked about is you, articles, and providing a service. The rest is up to you!
