Well proven ways to make money online

If you’ve been on the internet for some time, you’ve likely seen an advertisement teaching you how to make hundreds or even thousands of dollars a day, working in your pajamas, in your home.

These advertisements are so ridiculously popular that you start doubting whether it is really possible.

The truth is, it IS possible.

Yes, it is hard to make thousands of dollars a day from the start, but there are actually ways you can make at least $50 a day with ease just working from your home.

In this post, I am going to share with you some different ways in which you can create real money online. I will try to cover all types of methods I know and hopefully, you’ll be able to find at least a few that interest you.

The key is to have fun and do whatever you enjoy.

Ok, let us start to break it down one by one.

Service Reselling

Many companies look to hire people to help them expand their online presence, to manage their blogs or forums, or to help assist them with other time-consuming tasks.

If you are good at managing small groups of people, you can act as an "agent" for a team of specialized outsourcers. You would do this by identifying people that can do certain work, and then advertise their services to online businesses via your own sales website.

You would simply mark up the price on the fee of the outsourcers to make a profit. For example, you could offer article writing services on your website for $25, then you pay an outsourcer that you've found $10 to write the actual article for you.

You have to find a good selection of outsourcers that you can rely on and who can deliver quality work. One way to check is to simply order their services as a customer to check the quality.

Running this type of business can help and save people a lot of time. For example, you built a service based around content creation, a website owner only needs to access your website and order their desired content. If they were to go to a freelancing site, they would have to submit their requirements, wait for outsources to place bids, then they would have to screen all the bids and then finally choose someone to do the work.

It will be more stressful and time-consuming when they have large volumes of work that required to be done. That's where a service like yours would come in handy for busy business owners, especially if they can come to trust your work.

It is important to work with trusted outsourcers because if you deliver bad quality content or services to your costumers, the chances are they won’t return for repeat order and even leave you a bad review.

The most popular services nowadays are content creation, SEO, banner design, and website design. If you are looking for ideas, you can browse Fiverr.com where you will find literally thousands of services being offered at cheap prices that you can easily mark-up.

Here are some tips for reselling services:

Browse through freelancing sites such as Fiverr.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc. to find people that you can hire.
Check the quality of their work by making an order as a customer or by asking for samples of previous work.
Consider working with outsourcers outside of freelancing sites to avoid unnecessary fees. Freelancing sites help protect buyers and sellers but if you establish good relationships with your workers then that won't be an issue and you can work with them directly.
If your business becomes successful enough, you may even consider hiring the outsourcers on a full-time or hourly basis.
Create a professional-looking website where you lay out the services you offer. Include lots of testimonials as soon as you receive them.
Advertise your site on places such as Google Adwords and Bing Ads and websites and forums where your service would be desirable.
Start building up the customer base by doing a great job. This would come down to you selecting a team of workers that deliver high-quality work and start collecting testimonials from your customers.

How much money can I make from reselling services?

It again depends on the type of services you offer, how well you can market your services, and how many clients you can handle simultaneously. You can expect to take at least 20% of the final price of the service you provide.

How much you can earn from translation jobs?

You will be paid anywhere from $0.01 upward per word depending on the demand for the language pair. You can charge a higher rate per word when the number of translators for the language is scarce.

Online Counselor

Rather than meeting a counselor in person, many people prefer to go online looking for counseling. They feel they can be a little more anonymous that way. The counseling session can occur via video conferencing, online chatting, or email.

If you have the skills and ability to counsel people effectively, this could be an ideal online job for you. You don't need to have any special degree, although it would give you a competitive advantage if you have it.

People who make good counselors are usually those who are interested in psychology, self-awareness as well as self-improvement, have a strong desire to help others with their problems, and also have a good listening ear.

But if you're interested in becoming an online counselor, please check the laws in your state or Country first to determine the requirements for becoming a counselor.

Here are some tips to become an online counselor:

First, create a website that lists how you can help people and your current qualifications. Be honest and let people know if (in case) you don’t have a degree or other qualifications to prescribe things to people. Many people want to pay you just for listening to them, a safe place where they can vent frustrations.
Once you have a website, start advertising your website to social networks, amongst friends, PPC marketing such as Google Adwords and Bing Ads.
Soon after taking new clients, you will start to build up your customer base. You should collect testimonials from the people you have helped and put them on your website to build credibility and authority.
Keep enhancing your skills and credibility by taking online counseling courses. Here are some popular ones:

Blackford Centre for Counseling: The course explains how to set up your own counseling practice. The site is full of activities, suggestions, tips that you can instantly use with your clients.
The Institute of Counseling: The course will extend your natural talents and improve your effectiveness as a counselor.
Online Counseling College: The course offers opportunities for professional development growth for first time students as well as experienced practitioners.

How much you earn as an online counselor?

Just like real-world counseling, it can vary a lot to your location and qualifications. Depend on your reputation and skill, you can make from $10-$200 per hour and upwards. Just don’t expect to make as much as a counselor who has 10 years of experience when you are just starting. But one to be sure is, you have the power to set the prices for your services unlike if you work for an organization.
