How can you make money online?

Ideas can keep chasing you and flying around your mind until you catch them. And the best way to catch them is to change them into a real form.

You can catch your ideas by drawing, writing or recording them down in any form. This form can be either hard copy or digital copy.

You can have a continuous stream of ideas that make you either happy or feeling pain. You might even think that this stream of ideas good or bad is endless.

But my experience with ideas has been proved to be that way. Whatever the large number of ideas you have that can be motivating, challenging, intriguing or overwhelming can all be compressed and contained into a small piece of paper or on a little file on your computer or mobile phone.

You can use this flow of ideas for your own good.

How? 
If you need to make a lot of things and feel that they all chasing you and overwhelmed by them then you have to write them all down and you’ll be surprised that all those things that had been bothering you for so long are only minimized to be about five or six items.

What if those ideas are good ideas that you have in your mind and want to make or share to the world?

The same thing applies to those good ideas. You can even write them down or draw them or put them into a book or an online course that can be a large benefit for others and makes you a lot of money while you are asleep.

What that has to do with making money?
I get a lot of ideas of making money online and try each one.

The only problem that I really want to get rid if is that I try one idea and try to prove it as a kind of experiment or a prove of concept but after I find the proof I quickly switch to another idea to try it.

That may be a good approach if I do that for the sake of science or to make a role model for other people. But keeping in mind that I am desperately trying to find a good way of making a decent source of income online that’s definitely not the right approach. 

I must try something and learn about it until it makes some profit and prove that it really works. Then after that I must keep up with the working strategies and drop the not working strategies. Then grow those working methods by multiplying effort, time and money spent on them.

That’s the new approach I intend to use.

However, this time I am going to write extensively about all those ideas I’ve tried and make detailed description about each one. While mentioning what has worked and what has not.

Write. Write. Write.

In my case, that’s the main effort I can do to make money and I feel comfortable doing it in different forms.

And Pay Per Lead.

Freelance your time

Or you can choose to make the hard choice of trading time for money if you work as a freelancer.

In my opinion, Freelancing is an intermediate stage between being a full time employee and being an entrepreneur.

You can use a website like UPwork that you can find many freelance jobs as coding, designing or data analysis.

You can teach English or any other language on a teaching website Like EF (Education First) and earn money as you teach student that language you are fluent in.

Fill in consumer surveys

Many web sites lead consumer behavior surveys to study the market and to provide the best products and services to customers.

Surveys can be intended to know what is your consumer behavior as a technology user to deliver the best consumer electronics to users.

Or it can be aiming to know your eating habits to help you track your diet.

And it can be conducted to know what type of toys you buy to your kind to help you with.

Many websites can make these surveys and actually pay for people to fill in those surveys.

In the past I used to fill in any survey, but once I knew that I could be filling surveys to say my opinion about something or to help a company in market study I then realized that this is valuable stuff.

So I stopped filling in surveys for free.

I actually found many websites that pay you for your time.

But this website is the best one and I highly recommend.

How would you get your money?
Many websites would give you an Amazon Gift Card that you can use to shop from Amazon.

But this website is paying you actual money right to your bank account or credit/debit card through PayPal.

If you are not familiar with PayPal, this is an online banking system you can use to transfer/receive money to/from any person/company in the world through your PayPal account connected to your email address.

PayPal is totally secure and free to use. No upfront amount of money needed to make your account.

Only a small commission is used when transferring money.

Find your true passion

Just keep in mind that you need to do something that can bring joy to your mind and soul so you can continue doing it and excel in it.

How to make money with Amazon Associates Program

Amazon is a globally known and the biggest online store in the world.

The name is a mark by itself and you can never miss it unless you still be actually living in the Amazon forests.

For affiliate marketers, Amazon Associates comes as their first love and the one that many have earned a lot and also have learned a lot. 

The ease of set up, the elegance of reporting and the quickness of money earning make that program the best and the first option for affiliate marketers when they start as beginners.

Although it may seem to be a non profitable affiliate program for some, many professional marketers rely on it as their main source of income.


So why some marketers hate Amazon Associates?

Due to relatively small commission(sometime 4%), strict rules and conditions and you might find yourself out of the program without any cent. I myself have made a lot of money from this program and have been using it for years. Although I've tried many other affiliate programs from other retailers and stores, but I still have that hidden love for Amazon Associates Program.

So let's take a look at that program.

First, you need to have an Amazon Account.

You can have your customer account at Amazon at first and then apply for the affiliate program.

So if you don't already have an account, start by making one.

create amazon account or just login

Then scroll down to the bottom of the main page and click "Become an Affiliate"

Then press Join "Now for Free" button.

Then create affiliate account

You'll fill some information about address and about your website.

Then you can choose the payment method (Check, Wire Transfer or Amazon Gift Card)

Then fill in your Tax information or you can choose to complete that information later.

Congratulations, you are now an Amazon Affiliate.

You have the right and the full power to make referrals and affiliate links in your blog or website, once someone clicks one of your links and then buys anything within 24 hours of that click, you can get commission of that purchase.

This can be as much as 4 - 10% of that purchase. You can be referring something like a 10$ book and that guy who clicks your link later buys a 1000$ DJI Mavic Quadcopter. Then as a minimum you can get 40$ from this purchase.

Pretty awesome, right ?

There is something called Amazon Bounty program that where you can get fixed commission ranging from 2 to 10$ depending on the type of the bounty when someone make a certain subscription in one of Amazon services.

And many of these services are free.

For example, I can get 3$ when you read any book on Amazon Kindle Cloud Reader free service to read any Kindle book even if that book is totally free. You can try it yourself.

You just click that link and I get the three Dollars. That simple.

Another bounty is the Amazon Audible Bounty.

Amazon Audible is a website for selling audio 

books. I can get 5$ if you try Audible for free through my link. And you can get one free month of Audible and any two audio books for free. You can unsubscribe any time during that one month.

And if you make a golden membership in Audible, I get 10$.

Amazon Prime. 

Amazon Baby registry.

Amazon Wedding registry.

All are free services that you can benefit and I'll get the bounty if you just subscribe in this service.

You can also join Amazon Associates program and try the bounty program yourself.

I hope you have enjoyed that post and you gained some useful information from it.
