How to Make Quick Cash Online

How to Make Quick Cash Online
If you've spent any time online, you've more than likely seen ads, promising you vast riches for a small investment, whether through pop-up ads, emails, banners, or streaming video. They seem alluring, because they offer testimonials from successful individuals, who are "living their dreams". They promise you financial freedom, with very little effort on your part. The fact of the matter is they're lying to you! You will NOT get rich, and if you do make ANY money, you will be working very hard to earn it! The truth is, unless you have a background in web design, and advertising (bachelors degree minimum), you're NOT going to get rich online, so don't waste your money investing in these programs. Ultimately, all you're doing is making the owners of these sites rich.

If you're looking to make a little extra cash however, there are some legitimate opportunities to make supplemental income online. The bottom line is that you'll have to work for it though. If you're willing to invest a little time, there are several ways that you can earn money, with absolutely no investment!

Before you delve into earning, you have to get the idea out of your mind that you'll make anything near what you would make in a traditional job. Odds are, you'll probably be making less than minimum wage even. You have to look at this as extra cash that you'll use to supplement your income, not replace it. If you're looking to replace your income, you might want to look into finding a 'real' job that allows you to telecommute.

Once you've accepted the fact that you're not going to get rich quick, and that you're just going to earn enough to cover your midnight McDonalds runs, the first thing you need to do is set up a new email address, that you'll use exclusively for money making opportunities. You don't want to use your personal email address, or you will be inundated with emails, and your personal messages will get lost. In addition, a separate email address makes it easier to manage the things that you're doing to make money.

One of the easiest places to start making money is by filling out surveys. Most companies require that you earn a minimum amount before requesting payment. Surveys don't require much effort, and there are even programs that you can download to fill out the surveys for you! Some of the surveys pay in the form of free products, based on your interests. One thing to keep in mind when signing up for surveys is that a lot of companies are repeated on sites, so keep a list of the companies that you've already signed up with, so that you don't sign up with them multiple times.

Another way to earn some cash is by running a blog. Many companies will pay you for writing a review in their favor, and posting it to your blog. This is referred to as "pay-per-post". The benefit of this is you can usually write about something that interests you. As with surveys, these companies usually require that you earn a minimum amount before payout.

While not a new idea, selling on eBay is always an effective way to make some quick cash. You don't need to invest in inventory to sell either. Just look around your house and find things that you don't have use for anymore. The old saying goes, "One man's junk is another man's treasure". Just because you don't have use for something, doesn't mean someone else won't, and in this day in age, you never know how much people will be willing to pay for something!

There's always new trends popping up on the Internet. Those companies need you! They are willing to provide training and will pay for your response, reviews, or anything else they require to kickstart the business.

As stated before, you will NOT get rich from any of these opportunities. You can however earn some mad cash with one, or several of them. In addition, some offer the added benefit of social interaction, and entertainment.

Now... if you really want to get rich while working from home, you need some ideas! You need something unique. You need to grab a niche now before copycats flood the Internet with the same content.

As an example, CasinoLowdown.com, one of my sites, started out three years ago reviewing casino games. There was hardly any competition. Once the affiliate managers saw how successful the site had become they started emailing all of their affiliates with casino game data. Now there are tens of these copycat sites all competing for the same 'long tail search terms' (long tail is the bulk of your traffic that is made from lesser terms).
