As a stay-at-home mom, I am constantly looking for ways to make money online. I want to know what are the ways people make money online for beginners like me.
Having the ability to make extra money while staying at home does make a difference. I can use the extra money to buy things that I need and now I am using this money for growing my blog.
Located in Singapore does make it much more difficult to find. A lot of the opportunities that I found are mainly for people who are located in America. Nevertheless, there is still an opportunity for you to make money online even if you are beginner and not located in America.
What are the 6 ways to make money?
1. Join Paid Online Surveys
I personally think that a paid online survey is one of the easy ways to earn money online. You do not need to have any skills to get the job done. One thing you do need to remember is never to pay to join a survey company. It’s free.
When I say easy, I do not mean easy money. You still need to do work and get paid for your opinion.
In order to receive an invitation to do a survey, you need to confirm your email once you sign up and also complete the demographic/profile questions. This is to help the survey companies find those surveys that are relevant to you, this will give you optimal earning potential
Here are some online survey companies which you can immediately join for FREE. (international participants too):

2. Selling Your Crafts Online

Do you know that ETSY also has an affiliate program? If you have a blog, you might want to promote it too. This is a very popular way bloggers make money online with their blogs. Check out the posts below to learn more.
3. Offer Your Skill
Are you good at logo design, designing a website, SEO, writing, translation or maybe animation? If you have, you can offer it to the people who need your service.
Fiverr is an online marketplace where you can offer your service. I myself have used some of the services provided at Fiverr.
If your profession is in graphic design, animation, etc. You might want to consider joining their Fiverr Pro.
Fiverr Pro connects you to their top customers and gains access to their premium business design projects. With Pro, you can spend more time doing what you are good at and less time looking for clients.
4. Start A Blog
Starting a blog is a great way to make money online.
If you are new to the blogging world and have no idea about how much money a successful blogger is earning per month.
Here is a good example of how much a successful blogger can earn (Do note that he is not the only one):
Pat Flynn – Last 12 months Income Report – $2,171,652.55
I just have to mention Pat Flynn not because he has an impressive income report but because I was there when he first started in 2008.
The difference between Pat Flynn and I was while he was building his dream, I was just standing on the sideline thinking should I or should I not? Now 10 years down the road, he has made it and I am still the same. 🙁
Are you like me 10 years ago, standing on the sideline thinking whether or not to start a blog? Calculating the cost and wondering if is it worth it, asking will “I” be successful.
If you have a dream of starting a blog, don’t be like me ten years ago. Take action today – start a blog now. You will never know you might be the next Pat Flynn in ten years’ time.
