Like many people, you would like to earn money on the Internet. Whether it is for a supplemental income or to make a real business, know that it is possible. What you need to know is that there are many ways to earn money, depending on your skills and your desires. You will find a list (not exhaustive) of ideas to earn money on the internet.

What you need to know before you start!
When we talk about making money on the internet, we have to be aware that it can’t be done overnight. You will not become a millionaire in 3 months.

But, if you have the required qualities, you will be able to generate money and on the long term!

You must be motivated!
It’s not enough to say that you would like to. You have to be ambitious and follow through with your idea.

You have to be lucid!
Indeed, do not expect to earn thousands of euros immediately. Moreover, you must be aware that it requires investment and a minimum of effort on your part.

You must be persistent!
If Rome was not made in 1 day, neither will your success. You may well not succeed from the first thing you do and must therefore persevere to improve or change your methods.

You must be curious!
It is better to take as much information as possible about the business you want to undertake before jumping in. On the internet, everything evolves very quickly and you have to be constantly informed to renew yourself in order to keep earning money.

You have to stay on your guard!
On the internet more than anywhere else, you will find many scammers looking to take advantage of you. Assume that when an offer seems too good to be true, you are probably facing a scam.

Ideas for making money on the internet

1 Read emails to make money

Here is a simple method to earn a little bit of money. You will receive advertising emails from different companies and brands and you will have to read them and visit the website. For some of them, you will be asked to perform some additional actions (a free registration for example).

You won’t be able to live from this activity but it is a way to generate a mini income easily without any skills. It is clearly not the solution I recommend, but it has the merit to exist.

2 Test websites to earn money

Some websites of more or less known brands need to be tested before putting a website or new pages online. You will be asked to perform a series of very simple tests and to give your opinion as clear and detailed as possible. Some sites ask for written reviews with screenshots and others ask for audio and/or video reviews.

You don’t need any specific equipment or skills to perform these tests.

The remuneration is very variable. You can earn a few euros per test. It takes time for a very small gain once again. I do not recommend it.

3 Take surveys to make money

Once again, your opinion is valuable on the internet and has to be paid for. All brands and companies need customer feedback to evaluate their services or products.

You can register on different sites that offer paid surveys. Most of the time, answering a survey will bring you points that you can then exchange on the website’s store as a gift card or as a transfer (PayPal most of the time).

By completing your profile as much as possible, you will receive many surveys that correspond to you. It deals with consumption in its entirety, satisfaction or personal habits.

It is a way to generate a mini income. Count on a few dozen euros per month if you are assiduous. This has at least the merit of requiring only a few minutes of your time and no particular skills. Some sites even have their own mobile application to allow you to conduct these surveys anywhere and at any time. I wouldn’t recommend this idea either, the ratio of time spent/gain is very low.

4 Sell your creations to make money

Are you a creative person? If you create jewelry, paintings, clothes, photographs, or other objects, you can sell them on the internet.

There are very famous and reputable websites to sell all kinds of items. You can also create your own website to sell your creations.

Concerning the photographs, you must be careful not to sell pictures of monuments protected by copyright or of people who have not consented to the right to the image.

Professional quality photos are also very much in demand by companies looking for beautiful pictures and who do not want to take the risk of using copyrighted images.

5 Sell Ebooks to make money

Now we come to a much more pleasant and interesting idea. You are rather beautiful pen? Then why not write and sell an Ebook?

You have a multitude of subjects to write about. You can write a novel or a book on cooking, personal development or any other subject you master.

There are platforms that allow you to put it on sale for free. The best known is Amazon KDP, but there are others that work the same way.

6 Sell training to make money

In the same spirit as Ebooks, you can also create and sell a training course.

You must have skills in a field, and that field is bound to be of interest to other people looking to gain knowledge. So write about it to give your tips and tricks.

Take the time to create an attractive and accessible medium for everyone.

Available on your blog or website, you can sell your video training courses and offer bonus options like a dedicated discussion group, support tools or one-on-one sessions.

If you don’t have a personal website or blog, you can publish and sell your training on a dedicated platform that will distribute it for you.

7 Sell services to make money
Make one or more skills available to those who need them for a fee. There are many services that you can sell on the internet from your home. You have all the digital creations but also the writing services or help to sell online.

Several platforms allow you to offer your services. Moreover, you don’t necessarily need to have a legal status for that, unless it becomes a very profitable activity.

8 Create your own blog to make money

Today, it is very easy to create a blog. A CMS like WordPress allows you to do so without having any coding skills.

You can create a blog on a niche that you are passionate about and that you master.

To make your blog profitable, it is not very complicated either. You need to generate a minimum amount of traffic to be able to monetize it with ads. You can also set up affiliate programs with brands that will allow you to make sponsored content and thus earn money. The technical aspect of creating a blog is quite simple. This apparent simplicity, however, does not mean quick and easy money. Referencing your blog will take time, as will writing SEO optimized content. It is however a very good way to have an additional income.
