By aidenofthetower

Making money online is a lot of different people's dreams, and for a lot of different reasons. However, figuring out how to do that profitably isn't easy to do, but it can be done. Making $1000 a month isn't hard, and as time goes on you can grow that into an even bigger amount.

Outlook

How you look at what you do on the Internet will change how you feel about it, how you work it, and how you think about it. Working on the Internet has to be like starting your own small business. It takes time and energy. At first you will have to work hard and you won't be seeing very many results. Your pennies may be discouraging, but if you keep it up those pennies will indeed grow. You must see this not only as a money making option (many people are looking for easy money online), not only as a job, but as a small home business. This is your business and you have to work hard enough to grow it into something big.


Personal Experience

I started to work toward making money online in August of 2007. It is now March 2008 and I have learned a lot of things. I haven't gotten rich, but I have seen a nice amount of money grow over the time that I have been working.

  • August-I saw a few pennies, but nothing worth getting excited about.
  • September-I saw a few dollars, and still wasn't getting very excited.

  • October-I saw about $50 and was a little excited. After all, by now it was at least showing signs of growth.

  • November-I saw $300 and was feeling amazing.

  • December-The holidays brought a lot of time off and some slower money making. I still made $200 for the month.
  • January-I saw an increase to $500 for the month of January.
  • February-February wasn't a large increase month, but I still increased and made $525.

  • March-Now that this month is over I made $721. Not as much as I had hoped, but still doing well.
  • April-I was sick two weeks in April and didn't work online at all. I still made $325 for the month, which isn't too bad considering.

While it isn't perfect, and it will still take a little bit of time for me to be sure that I am making a nice sum each month, it is working very well for me. It takes a lot of time and work, but eventually it is worth it!

Method

So, you have decided to start your own business and you want to know what to do now.

The easiest way to make money online is to write articles. You can take what you know, and turn it into money making products. It takes a lot of work and it takes a lot of time, but it can become an income worth talking about.

  1. Write what you know. You know more then you think! You can write these to produce good how to's, and great informative articles. You will also be able to write a clearer article if you write what you know.
  2. Write a lot. Most people are hoping to make a lot off of each article they write, but truth be told, not all articles will make you a lot of money (in fact some will not make you any, or if they do it will be a penny or two). The more you write, the more success you will see.
  3. Write on several sites. Most people find a site and stick with it. They think it is good and hope for the best. However, if this site goes under you are left with nothing. Additionally, you really want to try new sites and see what is best for you.

  4. You should always write at least 20 articles on a site before deciding whether or not it is a good site. This gives you a variety of materials for people to view and you should see some money come in from this.

  5. Promote your writing. Share your writing everywhere you can. Include links, bookmark your best articles, and talk about what you do. This can help you make more money from your articles then you normally would.

While it isn't easy to do this, it can be very profitable. But some people think it isn't worth it. Take Helium for example. I make an average of 10 cents an article per month. That means I make about $1.20 an article a year. This isn't much for my article. The hope is that Helium will be around a long time and I will make lots of these throughout the life of the site, but this isn't a gurantee. However, I will be brining in money for articles that are already written and some of them will make a fair amount of money in their lifetime. Additionally, I can take the same information, change it some and share it on several sites.

Tips

  • Write a lot. It takes a lot of writing in order to make money. Some articles will take off right away and make money quickly, others take a lot of time.

  • Evaluate what you have written and how much money it has made, make more articles in those categories.

  • Set up a schedule to work as much as possible. This will let you get as much work done as possible. The more work you do, the better.

  • Try several sites, it isn't enough to work on one site. You are depending too much on the site, plus you want the options provided by some sites.

If you are thinking of working online as a small business. If you are willing to work even when it isn't worth it. If you are willing to work hard. If you are willing to share what you know and write a lot. Then you can make more then $1000 a month! However, you do have to do all of those things, plus be willing to give it a fair amount of time.



Update.

This is by far my best hub and I thank you all for making it possible. I am glad that so many people have enjoyed this hub and have done a wonderful job leaving great comments. I just thought I would add that as long as you keep at it these methods and tips work for anyone with passible writing skills in English. Earning online is one of my favorite things to write about, however it is my least profitable. Take this hub for example. It has gotten thousands of views in the past week, but the ads aren't usually ones people click on, therefore this hub doesn't make as much as one with ads that intice people to click. You can choose your topic according to what you think will make you more money, or do what I do an enjoy getting all sorts of traffic and working hard to make it all work.

Our Goals.

This hub specifically talks about making $1000 a month, which I think is a very reasonable goal. My goals, however, are a little more then that. My goal is to be making $4000 a month by 2011. That is a minimum of $48,000 a year, which isn't too bad a goal. If you are interested in keep up to date on that goal then stop by my blog-Make Money Online.

Loved the hub! Thanks for all the info. And if you are looking for another income stream, I have found something recently that seems to be working for me called mysearchfunds. A free, simple search tool that pays you for your searches as well as your friends (that you signup) searches as well. Check it out and let me know what you think!

I joined My Search Funds about a week ago and have made almost 2 pounds (about $4). I think it is good. I don't like Ask as much as Google and the results aren't always as good as they would be if I did a search in Google, but I always start here now, and move to Google if I need to.
