With the economy doing what its doing,Why Work From Home Stuffing Envelopes?  That’s Not The Only Way! Articles the fear of having job security is spreading throughout the world like a wildfire.  There are thousands of jobs being lost everyday, and there is no sign of change anytime soon.  Everyday, more and more people are turning to the internet to find that missing feeling of security.  The only problem is that once people make the decision to use the internet as an income stream, they have no idea where to start or what to do.  If you fall into this category, or even if you just want to learn some additional methods, then this article is for you. 

You see, I have been one of these people that I just mentioned.  I worked three jobs, and knew that I wanted to start making some extra money using the internet, but had no idea what my options where.  I spent many hours online doing research, and trying to get the money train started.  After 6 months, all that I had learned was the 12,862 ways to make money online, but I had not taken advantage of any of them, and I hadn’t made a penny.  Obviously I made this number up, but the point is that I wasted a lot of time just learning the different things that I could do.  I wanted to help people avoid making this same mistake so, I sat down and made a list of the 7 best ways to make money online. Here is the list that I came up with in no particular order.

You can get a “virtual job”
These are also known as "work from home careers". Every business has different things that need to be done on a day to day basis. Many of these businesses will gladly pay you an hourly rate to do this work for them.  You can work right from home, and they will mail you a paycheck, or directly deposit the funds into your account.  These day to day activities include things such as reading and replying to emails, filling out surveys, creating company related content, and data entry.

You can work as a freelancer. 
If you have a unique skill, then you can perform this for interested people, and charge a fee for this.  If you are a great writer, you can write content for people. If you have experience in web design, you can design or update other people’s sites. Anything that needs to be done, there are people that are willing to pay to have it done. You can get unlimited work at places like elance.com and guru.com.

You can flip websites or domain names.
If you know anything about flipping houses, you can apply this knowledge and do the same thing with websites and domain names.  You can find sites that have good potential but lack in design, management, or any other aspect.  Once you find these sites, you can buy it, make the necessary improvements, and sell it for a profit. You can also buy domain names for cheap, and then sell them at any cost you choose. 

You can claim your share of Google’s money.
Sites like Google and Yahoo allow people to advertise their business on their website, and the business owner pays them a certain price every time someone clicks on their link. If you have a website or blog, you can put these related ads on your site or blog, and if someone visits your site and clicks on their ad, Google will pay you a portion of the money they make from the advertiser. This program is called adsence. Since the price per click is generally just a few cents, it would take a large number of clicks to make any big money.

You can have a paid advertising website.
If you have a website or blog that gets a large number of visitors, you can charge people to advertise their business on your website. You would want your ads to be related to your website, blog, or forum, so the business owner would get massive exposure, with people that will potentially be interested on what they are offering.  Once again, you would need to have a website that gets a lot of visits everyday.

You can sell your own products or services.
If you already have a business that sells a product or service, you can sell it online for a profit. Out of all the ways mentioned, this is probably the best way to make the largest amount of money.  The product can be a cd’s, books, crafts, lamps, cameras, training courses, ect.  The list goes on and on.   It is not necessarily the fastest way, but in my opinion, it is definitely the best. There are tons of different ways to get this done.  You can use “auction style” sites, such as EBay, or you can follow the traditional online business model.

You can sell other peoples products.
If you like the idea of selling your own products, but you don’t have anything to sell, don’t worry. There are thousands of people out there with products to sell, and they will gladly pay you a commission to sell these products for them.  This is called affiliate marketing.  Companies like Amazon.com will provide you with a personalized tracking link that you can start promoting.  Every time someone clicks on your affiliate link they go straight to Amazon.com.  If they purchase anything, Amazon will pay you a commission for making this sell.  This is also a great way to get started making money online.

Now that I have told you the 7 best ways to start making money online, my sincere hope, is that you take the next step. To do this, you will need to decide witch one best fits you, and then make the decision to take some action.  I suggest that witch ever way you choose, do your research, and never stop learning about it.  If you make the decision, and act on it, the sky is the limit.  You will never have to worry about job security again.
