In today’s  world   the  internet is  becoming   the most
effective  method   to make   money.  Across the globe
people are making millions by     functioning  from their
homes   via    the   internet.  People   have   used  their
inspiration  to  make  money  by   optimally  using  the
resources  available  on  the net.  The internet provides
numerous  opportunities  to  make  money.  In the year
2013  making  money  via  the internet will be slightly
different   from   the   previous      years,   as   people’s
purchasing behavior is changing and   more people are
using the electronic media to conduct business.



Given below are a couple of clever methods by which one can make money online in 2013:

* Trade photographs - Good quality photographs are in great demand especially now as more
and more businesses require photos for their web sites. Get a good digital camera and take
interesting snaps of landscapes, babies, weddings, family occasions, etc. Tag these photos
with meaningful explanations and upload them to stock photograph web sites like iStock,
Shutterstock, etc.

* Earn income by tweeting for sponsors - Twitter is a very popular social media internet site
that businesses use to promote their goods and services. SponsoredTweets.com is an online
platform on Twitter which allows one to earn an income by charging the sponsors for
tweeting their marketing messages for them. The tweeter can choose the keywords, the
category, the amount to be paid, etc and thus has full control over his/her account.

* Blogging for income - Start a blog and write about one’s area of expertise. Every idea,
however vague or unimportant it may seem to the blogger has a place in the blogging world.
Revenues will come in the form of advertisements, product recommendations, etc. Another
way to make money through blogs is to write for blog owners who do not have the time to
create regular blog posts.

* Affiliate products selling - A good writer can sell affiliate products with creative advertising
methods and thus earn income from the internet.

* Publishing an e-Book - Convert your knowledge into an e-book and publish it on web sites
like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, etc. Commission rates are about 70% for every
purchase. Provide virtual assistance – Online businesses have many jobs like marketing,
customer support, etc. that they outsource to virtual assistants who can do these jobs from
their homes and earn money for it.

* Rent out one’s talents – Designers, writers and translators can use Elance, Ezine, 99Designs,
Freelancer and iWriter, etc. or make a web page to showcase their talent and get clients from
across the globe.

* Sell unwanted stuff - eBay, Amazon, Craigslist, etc. can be used to make some money from
the unwanted stuff in one’s home.

* T-shirts designing – Online stores like CafePress allow one to upload creative and
innovatively designed t-shirts to their web site. One can also contact distributors like
design by humans.com, threadless.com, etc.

* Monetize the YouTube with comedy and how-tos - YouTube has started a comedy and
how-to series to monetize videos being uploaded to YouTube. Uploading any funny videos
and how-tos can help generate income.

* Direct marketing via the internet – While direct marketing was traditionally done via coffee
shop chats, hotel conferences, telephone call, follow-ups via postcards, etc., today this can be
achieved through internet marketing.

* SEO specialist – As more businesses are using the internet to market and advertise their
products the need for search engine optimization specialists, who can build web pages and
web sites and critically assess the web sites, also increases. Since SEO is continuously
evolving one should always remain updated to be able to offer good advice to the clients.

While one can make money via the internet using these resourceful methods, the key to succeeding in this venture is to first get started and then patiently and constantly follow it up and most importantly do never give up.
