2 easiest way of earning money online

THIS POST IS INTENDED TO MALAYALEES ONLY!!

For god’s sake, I would NEVER EVER aim my post to any particular ethnics, like what some jerks would do. Allright, let’s cut the crap. First and foremost, I would be dedicating this post to those Mista WhatEva in Friendster who would love to waste hours of his precious time going around in Friendster looking for some hot chicks and asking for their phone numbers as well as to priyacute going around in Indiaglitz and Behindwoods looking for some Trisha’s and Asin’s photos to be uploaded into their Friendster profile. Ohh, and not forgetting some “ethnicist” who loves to crap around with their ethnocentrically-inclined views and ideologies. Other interested newbies are welcomed!

When it comes to internet, many people would be attracted to the beauty of social-networking, blogging, warez, hacking, online games and “etc etc”. But, the moment one individual ventured into money making business, and I meant serious money making, he/she would never ever let his/her interest from fading away and hence, expansion of their empire would be taking place! Why can’t our kids do the same instead of wasting their time on some crappy-online stuffs?

You see, I am not going to touch on Forex investment or those kind of services but I would be focusing on two particular options, which I found to be very very useful. Before I proceed further, I am not proclaiming myself to be a professional in this ‘money-making’ field. I am just sharing my experience to all of you, as what people would say, sharing is caring!

1) Google Adsense
This is no doubt the most common way of earning money online. No payment needed and not much of hassle involved. You start a blog/site, wait for them to approve your blog/site and start serving your ads. Once your account reaches $100 (RM323), you could cash out your money either via Cheque or Western Union Quick Cash! I don’t think I would be elaborating further on this as a simple Google search could lead you to thousands of sites teaching and guiding you on how to earn some bucks via this way.

2) DigitalPoint Forum
Now, as for this, I believe not many people would be aware of this particular forum in this e-world. With a whooping amount of 178000+ registered members, it is certainly the best place to hang around. So, what is so special about this forum anyway? Simple! There would be a section called Buy, Sell or Trade and inside that section would be some other sub-sections, and the two crucial sections that I would visit the most would be Services and Contests.

For instance, some of the services OFFERED in the Services section that I have came across would be:

1) Post in my forum 10 useful topics and I would pay USD4! You have the time? No problem!
2) Write a post in my blog and I would pay you USD10! You have the language? No problem!
3) Post my article into your blog and I would pay USD15! You have a blog? No problem!
4) Test my website script and I would pay USD2! You have the time? No problem!

You see, those dudes are paying you in US dollars, so just imagine you going to spend roughly about 35 minutes doing some 10 forum posts and you could earn yourself RM13 (USD4) just by sitting in front of your computer. On the other half, for the sake of testing some ’scripts’ that some person has created, he would be paying you RM6.50 (USD2)! Though that money might not be big enough for some, but 10% of something is better than 100% of nothing!

The only thing that I LOVE about this forum would be the Contest section, where as you could see alot of webmasters/company owners posting their particular requests, ranging from logo designing to full site designing and the maximum payout could reach up to USD200 (That’s RM610!). So, to those kids out there, start playing with your Photoshop and brush up your skills! The next thing you could do is to start submitting your entries to the contest which suits you the best and just wait for the winners to be judged. Isn’t that easy?

As for the payment, nearly all the payments are done via PayPal! So, to those who don’t own a PayPal account yet, you might wanna start owning one. The only thing is that we can’t withdraw the money directly but it can be done with certain debit cards. You might ask “So what can I do with having some money in PayPal?“. Well, start shopping online, pay for some premium services, buy a domain, buy a hosting account, sponsor, donate and so much more!

What you need for Option #2:
a) Knowledge (Either in designing or coding or both). Don’t have any? Learn it!
b) Time. No time, no talk!
c) PayPal account. As most of the payments are done via this method.
d) Patience! Remember, patience is a virtue!

Do bear in mind that you are not the only person who would be replying to some services and submitting your entries to some contests. There would be hundreds of others doing the same thing and you need to compete with them and try your level best to be the best out of the rest!
Remember, there are also some people who are willing to pay USD10 just for doing a simple logo for them, so don’t miss your opportunity dear Photoshop users! No harm in trying and just give your shot! Who knows, the contest-initiator might fall in love with your unique idea!

Ohh and these people do really pay!
