How to earn money online is probably one of the most searchable questions in the Internet today. Why is that? With the economic recession that has greatly severed offline money making opportunities, it is understandable that people will find ways to earn extra money online. Why not? The Internet has posited many ways on how to earn money the right and legal way. No doubt about it. With just one click, you can find a lot of resources that promises good jobs and highly satisfying money the easy way. But the question that most people tend to forget is: Is there really such a thing as fast money? Can we really earn money the easy way and fast for that matter? Well, the answer is no. There is no such thing as easy money well at least for those that really pay high. To make money on the Internet is the same as working your way to high salary doing offline jobs. You need to establish your reputation. You need to build you portfolio. Most of all, you need to have skills. You cannot go about earning decent money online just by sitting and waiting for money to come knocking on your bank account. It’s never going to work out that way. If you want to earn money on Internet, you must work hard. Nothing beats the old cliché of earning your way to the top. For sure, even the people earning huge amount of money by simply doing blogs have started from zero, and then they worked hard and are still working hard up ‘til now. No wonder their bank accounts are very healthy. The same principle must and should apply to all of us. There is really no easy way; only opportunities are so huge to shrug off.

I am a living testimony of this. I started off as an academic writer in a small writing consultancy firm. Ask me about the pay. It is about $177 per month. Not to mention the transportation and food expenses. No way can you tell me that I will survive with that salary. Then an opportunity knocked on my door. I shifted from offline academic writing to online academic writing. I multiplied my salary 10 to 15 times higher. I manage my own time as well. Not bad, right? For 4 years, I have been doing this and it is really great. But there are low seasons. When students are on vacation, my salary is on vacation as well. Until I learned how I could earn $150 a day. And I am going to share it with you.

Article Writing

If you have the writing skills, then you could earn as much as $150 a day. I am telling you this because I am earning it now. I am making $150 a day. There are many websites out there that offers article writing jobs. Grab it. Anyway, as compared to academic writing, this is kind of easy to do because it only entails freestyle writing. No referencing. No pattern. You simply write freely on the topics given. But before you could start earning $150 a day, I have to agree that you have to pass your apprenticeship. You need to get good clients and like I said; establish your reputation and build your portfolio. You will not be able to find a client right away. Of course, clients only trust writers that have solid experience and strong reputation over the Internet. Now, that is what you should be focusing on. Do not be blinded by the money itself. You have to make investment. Take note that your investment should not be always about money. Invest on your skills. When I was starting off as an article writer, I competed with the high paying ones. There are article writers that are charging about $7 and more on an article. Impressive? Yes. I told to myself, I need to charge my clients that high as well since I could write. I have posted lots of advertisement over the Internet telling about my services. There are clients that have given their feedback but I was not able to close a deal when they find about my rate. I have my rate but I do not have a client.

What to Do?

To earn money online, you must be competitive in skills and in your rate. If you are a beginner, try offering promotional offer. It will definitely work. Offer a rate that is hard to resist. If the experienced writers are charging their clients with $7/article, go about a bit lower than that to attract potential customers. Give hard to resists discounts. These are investments. After you have established your reputation and your portfolio by doing so, you can increase your rate slowly but surely. I did this process to. After 3 days of hard work and sacrifices, I am earning $150 a day. Not bad right? Also, find a good place to market your skills. Remember that the Internet is a huge place to start with. Just find one place that you will be comfortable with and you will live life to the fullest.

No secret formula. Only hard work, perseverance, competitiveness and investing all rolled into one. Start earning now!
