Earning Money Online: Can You Earn Money Without a Website?

One of the greatest misconceptions is that you need a website to earn money online. In fact I feel this why otherwise capable people don't take up online work at home jobs. They feel that they can not or do not have the time to create and maintain a website. Good news, for all of you who have wanted earn money online but don't have a website, you don't need one.

Below are three examples to illustrate methods of earning money online without a website.

Affiliate programs

Susan is a stay at home who is interested in working from home. She has a passion for fitness and healthy living. By searching on the internet, Susan find a weight loss company that will pay her a commission for referring others to their website.

Once she signs up with the company she is given an affiliate ID that she can use to promote the company. Susan knows that if she wants to earn money online she will need to do keyword research. She invests some time into doing some thorough keyword research so she can use them for later marketing campaigns.

To aid her in the keyword research, Susan uses the services of nichebot.com and Keyword Affiliate Elite. These programs are some of the best for doing keyword research. Susan begins writing articles about staying fit and losing weight with her selected keywords. At the end of each article, she writes a brief author bio that includes her email address informing the reader that she may contacted if they want more information regarding the topic. She then submits her articles to article directories.

Her email address is used for two reasons a) many article directories do not accept affiliate links b) her email address can be used to build her list which allows her to send future mailing to her list. When someone replies to her article, Susan can then send them another mini article along with a promo of her affiliate ID and how it may benefit the reader.

To speed things along Susan also participates in Google Adwords. Once again, she does keyword research and then bids on relevant keywords. She then creates small ads which, when clicked, will send the visitor to the merchants site via her affiliate link. The more articles Susan writes and the more enticing her Google ads the more she will earn online. However, she has the luxury of doing it at her own pace and she doesn't need a website to earn money.

Surveys

Greg is a student with not much time to spend. He finds out he can earn a little extra for school by taking surveys and participating in offers online. Greg signs up for several programs that send emails to him to read and offers for him to try.

He earns around 5 to 20 dollars a survey or receives points that he can later redeem for cash. This is a great way for someone as busy as Greg to earn money on the internet. The surveys only take about an hour at max to complete and Greg can earn extra by referring his friends and family to the website. He also gets to participate in free trail offers as well as enter for cash and vacation prizes. Though Greg may not become a millionaire with this work at home job, he is earning money online without a website.

Freelance service

Karen is a freelance writer who wants to get into web writing. As with Susan, Karen uses articles to promote herself. She also spends time in writing forums networking with potential clients and searching on online job boards so she can earn money at home. When she finds a job that she is interested in she sends off an inquiry, her resume and samples that match what the client is looking for.

Karen can work anywhere in the world, for her clients, all she needs is an email address and some business cards. While she can still promote herself offline with her business cards and flyers, she is earning money online as a content provider.

There are hundreds of ways to earn money. Above are three examples or how some people are earning money online without a website.

Re: Which would you start: a Blog or Online Community? - It is a difficult decision to make. Lets start it this way - What are you more interested in? Money? or Friends? or Both? If its purely Money, then Blog might be an appropriate answer. But consider this - It will be people (visitors) that will bring traffic to your blog and then Money will follow. This will be possible after a time and during this time it will be your friends who will be the starters. If you are looking for friends only, then its true that not many will be interested in knowing how you have beaten them in the game or the other way round. So it will be preferable to have a Forum where they can share ideas with you and others. But you can share your insider knowledge with them and invite comments from your Blog. You can also put up information on what others (including your friends) don't know about Tennis. The blog you create can provide News, Inside Information and also Techniques that can be used by the new entrants in the world of Tennis.
Making Money in 2011 - Hello forum members! As we draw closer to the new year I thought it would be appropriate to change the title of our forum category "Making Money in 2010" to "Making Money in 2011" - I'm looking forward to some interesting discussions and wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
QuickBooks vs. Microsoft Money vs....? - I have always used Microsoft Money to run my business - accounting, invoicing, etc. It came with my computer when I got it and integrated well with my online banking system so everything is a breeze. It only takes 30-60 minutes every quarter to do the bookkeeping (keep in mind that I have a very simple business - no inventory, very little invoicing, I do all my payments by credit card, etc). Is QuickBooks or Money the best accounting tool for small business owners? Or is there something even better?
Re: What or Who Sparks Your Business Interest - It's interesting to see what the different motivations are by Age Category. I've noticed this around me: 20 to 29yr olds: Motivator: Money 30 to 39yr olds: Motivator: Success/Ambition 40 to 49yr olds: Motivator: Family comes first 50 to 59yr olds: Motivator: Leaving a legacy i've only gone that far in my analysis. Of course this is a braid generalization but I find that it helps direct my marketing to individuals in different age brackets. The product/service can be the same but the Marketing message (Benefit Statement) to a 20 year will revolve around "Money" vs. a 30-something would be on their "Self Image"
Re: UPDATES: New Campaign! New Layout! New Ideas! - [quote="Ringo So":2696kbgu]Trent - It's actually a sub-forum within the "Making Money in 2010" category. Please let me know if there are any troubles finding it.[/quote:2696kbgu] Nope, still don't see it. I see the Online Businesses forum but that has been there for a long time. Is that what you mean? I don't see any Internet Marketing section.
